Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"Little one, what are your plans?"

"Hongchang told me that Heisha would occasionally inquire about the tribe's situation, and Hongchang cleverly avoided his inquiries. But one thing is certain: Heisha's feelings for Hongchang are genuine. We can use the females after we form a pair to control these orcs."

"This is a good idea. After forming a pair, the males will be loyal to the females, so it shouldn't be difficult to convince them. But how do we tell these females to avoid their partners?" Bixi asked.

"The wolf orcs want to learn about the tribe. We might as well tell them that we have iron ore that can be used to forge weapons. It's harvest season now, so all the females should stay to harvest, and all the males should go to the mines to dig. Jia and Lun's team will stay behind to guard the tribe, just in case. I'll take this opportunity to explain the situation to the females. This concerns the survival of the tribe, so the females won't dare to be careless. I'll also prepare some herbs. Let the males drink them to weaken their bodies, and then we can take them down in one fell swoop."

"They won't drink what we give them easily."

"Yes, they will drink it. After the harvest, we will hold a bonfire party and let the priest pray. Everyone will drink the blessing wine." Mona said confidently.

"But what if the male partner is unwilling to surrender?" Wushuang asked.

"Then kill them all!" Qingli exuded domineering aura.

"Kill, kill, you only know how to kill. We need to accumulate blessings for the little one. There are not many males in the tribe who can fight. We need to fight for them and make them feel that they belong and are part of the tribe. If we really want to kill them, it's not your turn!"

Qingli rolled her eyes in anger, but after thinking about it, it made sense. She glanced at Mona secretly, and seeing that she was not angry, she stuck out her tongue and lowered her head in silence.

"Bixi, Wushuang, Qingli, notify the tribe leaders to ring the bell in the square tomorrow to gather and begin harvesting the ears of grain. Brother Ying, you will arrive a little later. Take this opportunity to tell them about the mine, and then proceed according to the plan."

At dawn the next day, the bell in the square rang again and again, and the orcs of Ulala gathered in the square.

The three tribe leaders all took the stage, with Tengshe tribe leader taking the lead. "Fellow tribe members, before the cold season arrives, we need to speed up the harvesting and storage of our crops. We three tribes have decided to begin harvesting today."

"Wait a minute, fellow clan leaders and tribesmen, I have something important to announce." The dragon shadow flashed and arrived at the altar.

There was a lot of discussion below the altar. What could be more important than harvesting the crops?

"Everyone, harvesting is important. It's the foundation for us to survive the snow season, but this is more important. I discovered a mine, an iron mine. We can use it to make weapons. This way, we don't have to fight wild beasts at close range. We can attack from a distance. The people of the Teng Snake Tribe are the most qualified to speak, because everyone has a simple bow and arrow."

"I don't believe it. We have been hunting all the time, and casualties are inevitable. If it is really as good as you say, show it to us." said a brown-haired orc from the Silver Wolf Tribe.

The other orcs all echoed, one after another. Mona and the four orc husbands exchanged glances, and the fish took the bait.

"Jia, Lun, Ada, you three are from the Tengshe tribe, show them." The Tengshe tribe leader said immediately.

"How can you show it here? You didn't kill any beasts." Another gray wolf orc said disdainfully.

"We have captive Hem-Hem beasts in our tribe, and we can hunt them." The chief of the herbivorous tribe replied immediately.

"Let's go and see what they have to offer." A group of males headed towards the enclosure. Jia, Lun, and Ada walked in the center of the group, their bows and arrows in hand.

Arriving at the entrance of the enclosure, the three stopped. The humming beasts in the enclosure were frightened and ran around in panic, humming and panting, running straight towards the crowd.

All the animals retreated in unison. Only Jia, Lun, and Ada stood still at the entrance of the enclosure, drawing their bows and arrows. "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" Three bamboo arrows shot simultaneously towards the neck of the Hengheng beast! "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" A few screams, a few thuds, and the Hengheng beast fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

The males, who had never seen the power of a bow and arrow, were stunned. Is it really that powerful? No need to transform into a beast to fight the beast, and at such a distance. Amazing! I want it, I really want it! What should I do?

"A male with strong arms is fine, a herbivore without fighting ability is fine, a female, old beast, or young beast is also fine."

"So magical! Wow!" A burst of exclamations.

"Now, the old beast, the female beast, and the young beast will hunt the cuckoo bird for you to see." Mona said lazily.

Hong Chang, Xiao Qi, and an unknown old beast walked out and headed towards the enclosure of the cuckoo birds. Similarly, they didn't enter the enclosure, but stood outside, shooting arrows with their bows. Each time, the cuckoo birds tried to take flight, but after a few flutters, they died.

After the demonstration, thunderous applause erupted from behind. Everyone was eager to get their hands on this weapon, especially since it was made of iron, making it even more lethal. The males surrounded Long Ying with starry eyes. "Lord Long Ying, where is this iron mine? When can we go dig it up and make weapons?"

"Everyone, be patient and listen to me. Today, all females, old and young, will harvest the crops. All males, follow me to mine. Just so you know, any male who doesn't go won't have any new weapons."

The three wolves' eyes, black, brown, and gray, shone green, their greed evident. Mona and her companions watched, their hearts overflowing with joy. Great, everything was going according to plan.

"Lord Longying, if all the males go mining, who will guard the tribe?" The chief of the herbivorous tribe spoke weakly, looking like a coward, and he acted out his act vividly.

"Jia, Lun, you two lead your teams to guard the valley entrance. No orcs are allowed to enter or leave. Violators will be killed without mercy!" Long Ying spoke domineeringly and released his pressure.

"Don't worry, Lord Longying, the arrows in our hands are not vegetarians."

"Male, follow me." Long Ying led the team, followed by the three beast husbands. The other beastmen were afraid of being left behind, so they all kept up with the pace.

Mona led a group of people, young and old, to the harvest field, while Jia and Lun led the animals to guard the valley entrance.

Arriving at the harvest field, Mona arranged for the older animals to harvest, the younger animals to transport, and the females to thresh and dry the grains. This way, only the females were left in the square.

"All the females who formed couples last time, please gather here. I have something important to discuss with you." More than thirty females, led by Hong Chang, came out. Mona called them to the altar and sat them in a row! Mona, supported by Yu Rou, faced the females.

"Sisters, let me tell you two things. You must do them."

"Wu, please speak." Hong Chang vaguely knew what Mona meant.

"When you formed a partnership, I only considered strengthening the tribe, regardless of race. Now, a spy has been discovered in the tribe. He is an orc from the Silver Wolf Tribe: Gray, Black, and Brown. He is a spy from the Western Continent, and his defection to the Silver Wolf Tribe is part of a conspiracy to replace them."

As soon as Mona finished speaking, the females began to chatter. "Yes, I trust Wu. Black Demon would ask me about the tribe from time to time, which made me wary. I wonder if any of you sisters who have partners from these three tribes have also asked such questions?"

"Sister Hongshang, now that you mention it, it really is true. My partner asked me about it, and I said I knew nothing."

"You did the right thing. Even if it's your own partner, if he hasn't been blessed by our totem, he's not considered a true member of the tribe. Better safe than sorry." Rou, as the female leader of the tribe, knew more.

"Wu, I don't want to lose Heisha. He's really a good person. Is there any way to make Heisha abandon his evil ways and join the good side?"

"I don't want to lose my partner either, wuwuwuwuwuwu!" A female who had paired up with a wolf beast sobbed softly.

"I know everyone loves their beastly husbands, and that's the second thing I want to say. After the harvest is complete in the tribe, we plan to go trade with other tribes and tell them about the sinking of the two northwestern continents. As far as I know, there are spies in other tribes, even in the main city." Mona took a sip of water and continued.

"I plan to hold a carnival bonfire after the harvest and have the priests bless us. On that day, I will poison their drinks, rendering them unable to move. We will then be able to capture them. You must keep an eye on your mates and persuade them to submit to our tribe. Then, in front of the totem and witnessed by the beast god, we will swear an oath to never betray them."

"Okay, we will definitely convince them, for the sake of our tribe and ourselves!"

All the females were full of determination to win, and Xiao Xiao's mood also seemed extremely powerful at this moment.
