Chapter 9 Establishing a New Tribe
Chapter 9 Establishing a New Tribe
The orcs in the cave were also very excited. They knew that once Lin Baiyan successfully started the fire, it was clear that he was destined for greatness.
"Priest! We actually have a priest among us!" A sub-orc suddenly burst into tears. His name was Rat Moon, and his beast form was a hamster. Their tribe was very small, and no priest had ever been willing to stay in their tribe.
The earthquake ripped him and his tribesmen apart, and the subsequent torrential rain made it impossible for him to find his tribe. He could only migrate with a large number of wandering orcs, and unexpectedly, he found a priest there!
With priests, their chances of survival would be much greater.
All the orcs in the cave stared intently at Lin Baiyan, like drowning people grabbing onto a piece of driftwood!
The young man looked at the beastmen with a bewildered expression. His throat tightened, and he didn't know how to handle the situation.
Lin Baiyan felt extremely uneasy.
Is this a bit of an exaggeration?
Tu Lin was also very excited. Although his tribe also had priests, he had never heard of anyone suddenly awakening and becoming a priest. This further proved that Lin Baiyan was different.
Looking at the excited eyes of the beastmen in the cave, he turned his gaze to Lin Baiyan and finally said, "Cat Bai, are you willing to stay here with us and establish a new tribe?"
This continent has changed too much, and they cannot guarantee that they will be able to find the tribes they once knew. A lone orc is destined not to survive long on the continent.
Rabbit Forest had been searching for an opportunity to ensure the survival of himself and the beastmen, and now, Cat White is the knot that unites all the beastmen!
A priest who has suddenly awakened! What a temptation!
Doesn't this mean that the Beast God is still protecting these wandering orcs?
Not to mention, in the eyes of many orcs, priests are also very important guides!
Lin Baiyan saw that the orcs in the cave were even more excited because of Tu Lin's words, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Does he really not know whether he's a priest or not?!
If such a huge accusation is pinned on him, what if there really is an orc who can communicate with the Beast God, and he knows nothing about it? Wouldn't that expose his secret?
Since Lin Baiyan transmigrated to this continent, he felt that his worldview was being reshaped all the time, and he couldn't guarantee that such metaphysical things wouldn't actually happen.
After all, if he really didn't have one, how did he travel through time?
His time travel is itself highly illogical.
But if such a thing were to happen, it would be a huge shock to the values and beliefs that a young person has held for twenty-six years.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of all the jumbled thoughts.
Looking at their expectant gazes, Lin Baiyan wanted to deny that he was a priest, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. He also really hoped to establish a tribe here, after all, as an outsider soul, he didn't know much about this place.
At this point, a stable tribe became crucial for him.
Lin Baiyan remained silent and did not speak.
In reality, he was frantically planning his future life.
He knows so much about Earth, and he might need it someday. Rather than revealing more flaws later, he might as well accept the priest's identity first. The priesthood is indeed a kind of cover for him.
If the Beast God really exists, he probably wouldn't have time to care about a mere wandering soul like him.
The young man thought uncertainly, but his immediate priority was to ensure his own survival.
After a long pause, the young man nodded solemnly, but he didn't speak too confidently, "I'm not sure if I can be a good priest."
"But I will do my best to survive together with everyone."
Seeing that Lin Baiyan did not reject it, Tu Lin was already very happy.
The adult beastmen of the White Cat Tribe watched everything unfolding before them with complex expressions. One of the older beastmen thought somewhat absentmindedly, "I wonder what the chieftain will think when he finds out that Cat White has awakened the talent of a priest... Will he regret kicking him out of the tribe?"
He shook his head, banishing these bizarre thoughts from his mind. What was the point of saying all this now? He should just focus on living in the present.
At this moment, Tu Lin turned her expectant gaze to Lang Cang, "Lang Cang, what about you? Would you be willing to lead us to establish a tribe here?"
Without a doubt, Lang Cang is the strongest fighter among these wandering orcs. With his leadership, they will be able to quickly maintain the basic situation of the tribe.
The beastmen's gazes all fell on Lang Cang again.
The man had remained silent ever since he heard Tu Lin's words, until Tu Lin turned the conversation to him.
Upon hearing Tu Lin's question, Lang Cang had not yet spoken, but Lang Yun, who had just started a fire, showed a change in expression and subconsciously tightened his grip on the wooden stick in his hand.
But Lang Yun's face showed no change; his gaze remained fixed on Lang Cang.
He didn't know what Lang Cang was thinking...
The man remained silent for a long time, until the orcs in the cave all thought that this was his silent rejection.
The beastmen were very frustrated, but no one tried to persuade them to stay. After all, they had only come together temporarily, and Wolf Cang was so powerful that he would probably be better off without the old, weak, and disabled.
At this moment, Lin Baiyan was also somewhat disappointed. It was undeniable that Lang Cang was the strongest fighting force currently available.
His presence would make him feel more at ease.
He subconsciously moved closer to the man, and the words that were on his mind blurted out without thinking: "Don't you want to stay?"
Wolf Cang's gaze shifted to this somewhat peculiar sub-beastman.
Lin Baiyan realized that what he said might have been a bit presumptuous, so he quickly explained, "I was just thinking that we've been on the run for so many days, and we've finally found a safe place."
“Even if you want to find your tribe, you must ensure the safety of your existing people.” Lin Baiyan glanced meaningfully at the cave, where a bunch of wolf cubs were huddled together in the corner.
Sure enough, Lang Cang's expression became hesitant.
Seeing that the man's expression had softened, Lin Baiyan added another strong dose of advice, "The snow season is coming soon, it's very dangerous for you to set off now, the little cubs can't handle it."
The young man's cat-like eyes were wet, with a hint of pleading in them.
Hearing the young man's words, and seeing the many beastmen in the cave looking at him nervously as if awaiting judgment, Lang Cang finally relented, "Okay, we'll stay here for now."
Lang Cang originally planned to rest for a couple of days before leaving with the wolf cubs. After all, he had brought these beastmen to a safe place, and he should go and do his own thing.
But looking at the pleading eyes of the young man, and the expectant gazes of the male beastmen who had just hunted with him, he was surprised.
Although they were not powerful and did not seem very intelligent, Lang Cang still softened his heart.
He did not agree to join the new tribe that Rabbit Forest had mentioned; in his heart, he would leave sooner or later.
But even this loosening of restrictions was enough to make Tu Lin very happy.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Lang Cang said.
The beastmen's tense emotions gradually relaxed.
Then came a huge surprise: Lang Cang agreed?!
