Everyone went over to greet them, except Song Mu, who had a frown on his face.
Ji Nan walked in front until he came in front of Song Mu.
"What are you doing here?" Song Mu learned from Mei Yan that Ji Nan had succeeded the leader of the Rabbit Tribe, and also knew that he continued his father's way of governing the tribe, so he despised him very much.
But Ji Nan looked a little more haggard now than the last time he came to the tribe, perhaps because he was tired from the journey.
"Our tribe was attacked by stray orcs. Now it's the cold season. I hope you can take us in."
As rabbit orcs, they don't seem to have any killing power.
Ji Nan's voice was gentle and his plea was sincere.
Song Mu looked down on the males of the rabbit tribe, but the females in their tribe were innocent, and some underage cubs were shivering from the cold.
Song Mu said, "You males can't go in for the time being. Everyone, take the females back to the tribe to keep warm!"
Without waiting for Song Mu to say anything, everyone brought the females and cubs into the tribe.
Teng Ning went back to inform Wu Chuan. When they rushed out, they saw the males of the tribe coming with some females.
There are only four adult females in the Rabbit Tribe, who are between 30 and 40 years old. In recent years, all the females who have just reached adulthood or are about to reach adulthood have been sacrificed by the tribe to the stray snake beast.
There are also five young females, the oldest of whom is probably no more than ten years old. There are no elderly females, perhaps they died during this migration.
"What's going on?" Wu Chuan was a little confused. This was different from the way Teng Ning came to report just now. He thought something urgent had happened.
"Chief, the rabbit orcs have come to us and asked us to take them in during this cold season. Song Mu is currently negotiating with their current chief. The weather is too cold, so we should bring the females and cubs back to the tribe first."
Wu Chuan glanced at the rabbit cubs in their arms and didn't stop them. He just frowned and walked out of the tribe. "Is Song Mu negotiating? What will he negotiate?"
"Chief, let's go and take a look."
Teng Ning also knew Song Mu's personality. He rarely communicated with the people in the clan and was completely different from his brother Ling Yun.
Wu Chuan was followed by a group of orcs. They had originally gathered together to go out and fight, but now that they knew there was no danger, they didn't know what to do.
Teng Ning said, "Since the Rabbit Tribe has come to ask for help, you should go back first."
Wu Chuan glanced at Teng Ning with an ambiguous expression. Teng Ning looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, Chief?"
"Let's go." Wu Chuan retracted his gaze and walked out of the tribe.
Song Mu was leading a group of tiger orcs and rabbit males outside the tribe, staring at each other. After Wu Chuan came over, Ji Nan said, "Tiger Tribe Leader, our tribe has been invaded by stray orcs. We really have no other options. Yours is the only tribe we know of, so we had no choice but to migrate here. We hope you can take us in. We rabbits don't have the ability to harm others, so we hope you can... save our tribe for the sake of the Beast God."
Ji Nan looked haggard, but he still maintained the same gentle and elegant demeanor as before.
He slowly stated his request and nodded slightly, begging for Wu Chuan's protection.
Wu Chuan frowned: "An invasion by stray orcs?"
"Yes." Ji Nan looked at Song Mu, hesitant to speak, but with an expression that he had to say it. "My father did do something wrong, but he has been killed by Ling Yun. I know he deserved it, so I don't blame you Tiger Tribe. But it was because of him that we killed several males in our tribe, which greatly reduced our strength. We were unable to resist that wandering orc, so he also needs to bear part of the responsibility."
"What? When did this happen?" Wu Chuan looked at Song Mu. "Why didn't Ling Yun tell me about this when he went to pick Lin Qiu up? He actually went to another tribe to kill people?"
"Chief, Ling Yun did this for a reason! Listen to me..."
"Enough! The rule of the Somali Continent is that tribes are not allowed to start wars! No matter what the reason, you should at least report it to me, the tribe leader!"
Wu Chuan glared at Song Mu fiercely, then looked at Ji Nan: "Since you are Lin Qiu's people, we can give you a cave to live in during this cold season. You can leave when the weather warms up."
"Thank you very much, Chief Wu Chuan."
Ji Nan looked very touched.
Song Mu held Wu Chuan back, "No! Chief, do you remember the Feather Tribe orc who just came to our tribe? He came from the Rabbit Tribe. He told me that he braved the cold to come out because when the wandering orcs came, Ji Nan chose to sacrifice the females in the tribe in exchange for a chance to survive! He couldn't stop them, so he chose to leave the Rabbit Tribe!"
Song Mu's words stunned all the tiger beastmen present.
What?
Contribute the females in the tribe to the wandering orcs?
How could there be such a tribe? Is there something wrong with their ears?
Teng Ning said in disbelief: "Is this true?"
"What that Feathered Beastman said may not be credible!" Wu Chuan looked at Song Mu and said.
Song Mu frowned slightly. Compared with other orcs in the tribe, Wu Chuan's reaction seemed to have missed the point.
Ji Nan coughed weakly twice and explained to Wu Chuan and Song Mu, "He only knew one side of the story. This was just a temporary solution for us. As I said just now, we don't have the ability to fight that wandering orc. We can only agree to his request for the time being. After he hibernates, we will immediately leave our tribe and come here to ask for help!"
Ji Nan looked very sincere, and the males behind him echoed: "Yes, yes, how could we bear to sacrifice the females of our tribe? They are all our sisters and daughters. We really had no choice but to do this."
If Ling Yun was here, maybe they could have argued a bit, but Song Mu was never good at arguing with others.
He watched helplessly as Wu Chuan agreed to let these rabbit orcs enter the tribe. Teng Ning saw his dissatisfaction and pulled Song Mu: "It's so cold, let them go in first. The tribe leader will send people to guard them."
Song Mu no longer had the intention to continue digging traps at this time, so he returned home.
Seeing him walk into the house with a cold face, bringing a chill in, Ling Yun frowned and said, "What are you doing? Don't bring this kind of emotion into the house."
"Ji Nan is here." After Song Mu finished speaking, Ling Yun's face also showed the same seriousness as his.
"Jinan? Why is he here?"
Ling Yun's fists were clenched tightly, veins popping out and joints turning white.
"The entire Rabbit Tribe came to join us. I explained to the tribe leader what Mei Yan told us, but he didn't trust me. I..."
Song Mu was helpless: "They have already entered our tribe."
