Before Hu Jiaojiao and Hu Min walked over, Hu Lin had already run to them.

He pushed Hu Qiang away from Hu Min, and as if his eyes were glued to Hu Min, he held her hand and chattered.

"Minmin, I finally see you."

"I should have been here a long time ago, but who knew that we would encounter a herd of crazy black cattle on the road, blocking the only road. We had to take a detour, which delayed us until today."

"Fortunately, I am wise and brave enough to lead everyone to find a new road."

Hu Lin said, not forgetting to brag about himself.

Hu Jiaojiao looked over and found that Hu Lin and the other beastmen were all dusty and looked even more ferocious than when they were rushing on the road in winter. She knew that their journey must have been difficult.

In winter, the weather is just a little bit colder, and there are few wild animals outside. However, in the spring, the wild animals are hungry for a whole winter and come out of their caves to look for food.

The jungle in spring is full of dangers, and they must have encountered many dangers on the road.

Hu Min knew what kind of personality her partner had. He said this just to make her less worried when she saw his appearance.

She smiled helplessly, and before she could say anything, Hu Qiang, who was squeezed aside, came back and inserted himself between the two of them. He

separated Hu Lin with his butt. He

said unhappily:

"If you can't beat the cattle, just say it directly. You have the nerve to show off here after taking a detour."

"Who can't beat them! I just don't want to cause trouble!" Hu Lin was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick when he saw Hu Qiang.

When the two met, they were almost the same age, but they were still jealous like little boys.

"Okay, stop talking."

Fortunately, Hu Min spoke, and the two stopped quickly.

The two stood on the left and right of Hu Min, like two bodyguards.

"Mom, Chief Hu Lin must be tired after all the journey. Let's find the tribe leader to settle these beastmen and take Chief Hu Lin back to rest?" Hu Jiaojiao saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she tried to smooth things over.

Hu Min nodded, "Jiaojiao is right, you should settle these beastmen first, and then have a good rest."

She also felt sorry for Hu Lin. He came a long way from the Leihe tribe. She herself had walked this journey and knew how hard it was.

"Then I'll go find the chief." Although Hu Qiang was arguing with Hu Lin, he was very determined when it came to helping.

After saying that, he went to find the chief.

The chief was busy, but when he heard the news that Hu Lin was coming, he rushed over as soon as possible.

On the way, he happened to meet Hu Qiang, and the two of them came together.

Hu Lin was telling Hu Min about what he saw and heard on the road. It was completely different to travel in the jungle in spring and winter. Hu Min was frightened several times when he heard about the dangers they encountered on the road.

But Hu Lin said it calmly.

Hu Jiaojiao also heard that Hu Lin was afraid that Hu Min would be more worried if he heard these words from others, so he just finished speaking in this way first.

Seeing Hu Qiang leading an older beastman over, Hu Lin stopped.

"You must be Hu Min's partner, right? Welcome to our tribe. Jiao Jiao has already told me about your relationship. Thank you for your hard work along the way."

As soon as the chief arrived, he greeted Hu Lin with a smile.

He was more than a generation older than Hu Lin, and when he smiled, the wrinkles on his face were piled together, looking very amiable.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Hu Lin also smiled and waved his hands. In order to be with Min Min, he was not afraid of any hardship.

"How many beastmen did you bring this time?" The chief exchanged a few pleasantries with Hu Lin and then got down to business.

"One hundred and sixty beastmen, including me," Hu Lin replied.

The chief roughly calculated and nodded,

"We have prepared some wooden houses and caves, just enough for these orcs to stay temporarily. If you are willing to stay, you can stay here forever. If you are not willing, you can build a house you like."

"Yes, of course."

There is no need to be picky when there is a place to live.

"But..." Hu Lin paused, his voice a little hesitant, "There are already so many orcs in the tribe. If we stay here, can we still catch prey nearby?" There are

more orcs in the tribe, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

The biggest problem is that there are not enough resources nearby to share.

A large tribe only has thousands of orcs. With the orcs brought by Hu Lin, their tribe already has more than a thousand orcs, and the resources in the forest are definitely not enough to share.

If they want to hunt again, they have to go to a farther forest. Not only will the round trip time be long, but the danger is also proportional.

Food is the basis of the survival of beastmen.

This problem cannot be ignored.

Upon hearing this, the chief glanced at Hu Jiaojiao.

He had already considered this problem and discussed it with Hu Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, you come and talk to Hu Lin."

Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward, looked at Hu Lin, and slowly introduced:

"Chief Hu Lin, we have already discussed it. We can find a suitable place near the tribe and establish a tribe belonging to you, so that there will be no conflict in the resources in the forest."

She took out a sheepskin map from her arms, put it on the ground, and opened it for Hu Lin to see.

"This is our tribe. The black marks around here are some suitable places we have selected to build our tribe. They are only half a day's journey from the tribe, and we can go back and forth in one day."

This distance will not rob the resources in the forest, and the two tribes will not have to travel too far on the road when traveling.

Hu Jiaojiao pointed to the adjacent marks on the map and continued:

"If we decide to build a tribe, we can build roads in the future. By then, the travel time can be shortened by half, and we can go back and forth in half a day. Even females can walk on the road."

"Build a tribe? Build roads?"

Hu Lin obviously didn't expect Hu Jiaojiao to say this.

He knew that building a tribe was necessary. When he first came to a new tribe, he would definitely spend time building his own residence.

But building roads...

"Build roads, what is it?" Hu Lin didn't quite understand this word.

There are no roads in the forest, and beastmen can only walk in the forest in beast form, which is very inconvenient.

Females have basically never been far away from the tribe in their entire lives.

"Building roads is like walking in the tribe." Hu Jiaojiao thought about how to explain, "The road is wide, it is faster to walk, there will be no obstacles, and females can also travel back and forth between the two tribes." "

Of course, if you want to be in the same tribe with us, it is also possible. We grow food. As long as we reclaim enough land, there will be enough food."

Hu Jiaojiao added, fearing that Hu Lin would not agree.

A tribe can only grow so much, but if countless tribes unite, a safety circle will be formed.

Besides, each race has a different environment suitable for survival and different living habits. Forcing them to live together may be counterproductive.

This is why Hu Jiaojiao made this suggestion.

A half-day journey for orcs is as convenient as traveling from village to village in the human world. Now

that we have an orc village, is it still far from the city?

"No, no, no, I think this is a good idea!" Hu Lin shook his head, his eyes gleaming with surprise.
