Lu Lin and the others continued traversing through the forest, the entire team moving like in a grand procession.
She blinked her golden eyes at the sky and sighed, "The sky is getting darker and darker. Itāll be night soon."
"Letās quicken our pace. According to the time, we should be close." Xiu also looked up at the sky.
*Step step stepā¦*
The Spotted Deer Tribe members continued advancing through the forest. After an hour of rushing, everyone finally arrived at the entrance to the Flame Dragon Tribe.
"Weāve finally reached the Flame Dragon Tribe." Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
She had thought they would have to sleep in the forest tonight, but fortunately theyād arrived just as it got dark.
"The Flame Dragon Tribe feels a bit different," Xiu frowned.
He remembered that when heād last come to the Flame Dragon Tribe, it hadnāt been like this. Today, it looked a bit strange.
"I also think itās different. Itās just⦠why is there so much grass outside?" Lu Lin frowned as she surveyed the surroundings.
She looked at the surrounding land, which was covered with all sorts of messy grass, grass theyād never seen before.
A large area was lush green, and some had red grain. Who knew what those things were?
It looked really strange. Why was there so much miscellaneous grass outside the Tribe? Wouldnāt it attract snakes?
"I donāt understand what the Flame Dragon Tribe is thinking, making so much of this unnecessary stuff." Xiu frowned.
He felt the Flame Dragon Tribeās Shaman was too irresponsible. With so much miscellaneous grass outside the Tribe, they had not thought to deal with it.
The Flame Dragon Tribeās Shaman doing this also showed complete disregard for the Tribe membersā safety. This person did not deserve to be the Tribeās Shaman. If it attracted Ferocious Beasts later, there would be Hell to pay.
After all, Ferocious Beasts liked to gather in dense vegetation, especially in such lush-looking plants.
"Should we go in first? Or should we sleep outside?" Lu Lin blinked her golden eyes.
She felt that going in to trade things and then coming back out to spend the night would be troublesome. If Ferocious Beasts attacked, what would they do?
They would have to worry about both the traded goods and personal safety. That was far too troublesome.
Although they would indeed encounter this situation on the journey back to their Tribe after trading, reducing such occasions even slightly was beneficial.
Although they would come this time just to see the Flame Dragon Tribeās secrets, they still had to trade for goods. Otherwise, their purpose would be too obvious.
"Letās sleep outside first. Going in this late wonāt let us see much anyway. Weāll have a look after we wake up," Xiu also thought this was better.
"En, then letās prepare to set up some simple Teepees, but we should keep some distance from here." Lu Lin pointed at those crops.
In her eyes, these crops were just strange plants.
"Indeed. Who knows what effect these plants might have on us," Xiu agreed.
*Step step stepā¦*
The Spotted Deer Tribe members began setting up simple sleeping places. Many Tribes did this.
When travelling, as long as they approached any Tribe at night, they would choose to rest near that Tribe.
Those Tribes would not take in these travelling Tribes. They did not want to invite unnecessary trouble.
But they also did not want to be so cold-blooded, so they simply let them rest around the Tribe, as long as they posed no threat to the Tribe.
"I still donāt understand what those two large wooden houses are for. I keep smelling an unpleasant odour," Lu Lin waved her hand.
She had smelled that odour when approaching the Flame Dragon Tribe. It seemed⦠it seemed like the smell of wild beast excrement.
"Could they have let wild beasts live inside?" Xiu raised an eyebrow, finding this rather unbelievable.
"Surely not?" Lu Linās golden eyes widened instantly. She continued, "There arenāt even enough places for people to live. How could they let wild beasts live there?"
"Otherwise, how do you explain it? Could people living in wooden houses produce this smell?" Xiu waved his hand.
Lu Lin nodded thoughtfully and said with pursed lips, "How strange. Why didnāt I notice the Flame Dragon Tribe was like this the last time?"
"When I came last time, it wasnāt like this either. Not much time has passed, and it has already become like this." Xiu also couldnāt understand.
*Chirp chirpā¦*
*Woo woo wooā¦*
*Em em em*
Various wild beast calls rang out. The night grew deeper, and a bright Moon hung high in the sky.
Lu Lin and the others gradually fell asleep to the wild beast calls, while some Warriors patrolled the surroundings.
The Flame Dragon Tribe members also saw the Spotted Deer Tribe people, but did not say anything.
Because the Tribeās external personnel had already finished their shift. If they asked the Spotted Deer Tribe people to hand over their weapons at this point, that group definitely would not be willing to do so.
They might just leave directly. At times like this, the help of external personnel was necessary. With their assistance, things would be twice as effective.
The Flame Dragon Tribeās Central Market was just getting started, so these external personnel were very important in the early stages. Only after the Flame Dragon Tribe developed to a certain stage would they no longer need these external personnel.
*Step step stepā¦*
The Warriors standing guard on the wooden wall walked towards the central area, intending to inform the Chieftain of the news.
Half an hour later, Yan Jiao received the news and found it somewhat difficult to decide, so he walked towards the Yongāan Building.
*Step step stepā¦*
After receiving permission, Yan Jiao knocked and entered, saying, "Shaman, I have something to tell you."
Su Bai looked up at him, then at the weather outside, not expecting it to be so dark already.
His thick black eyebrows rose as he asked, "Whatās the matter?"
"It seems the Spotted Deer Tribe people have arrived. Theyāre resting outside the Tribe now," Yan Jiao immediately said.
"Oh? Theyāve come this quickly? I thought it would take a while longer." Su Bai was slightly surprised.
He had guessed the Spotted Deer Tribe would come; he just had not expected it to be so soon.
"Shaman, youāve predicted this? Then what should we do? I donāt know whether to invite the Spotted Deer Tribe people in," Yan Jiao said.
He was also a bit at a loss. If he invited them in, what about their weapons? If he didnāt invite them in, that seemed rather improper.
After all, they had helped the Flame Dragon Tribe before, specifically when reclaiming the Ancestral Land from the Black Snake Tribe.
"Donāt bother with them. Just let them stay outside," Su Bai waved his hand.
He did not want to worry about this too much. Since they wanted to stay outside, let them stay outside.
This way, when they entered the Tribe tomorrow, they would be more shocked. Only then would they realise there were places to stay overnight inside. This would create a deeper impression on them.
"Yes, I understand," Yan Jiao nodded.
*Step step stepā¦*
Su Bai looked at the moonlight outside the window and smiled slightly, thinking there would be a good show to watch tomorrow.
