The hunting party's return date was extended to a month later, and Jingli shared this information with Zhi.

The initial battle was a success, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The resulting sense of accomplishment and order temporarily outweighed the unease caused by the departure of some of the strongest combatants.

The tribespeople's confidence soared, and their efficiency improved significantly.

In just one day, the Cangbei tribe moved their defense line forward by several kilometers.

During this time, Jingli checked along the route the intruders had taken but found nothing unusual.

He cannot see or feel the so-called "entrance," nor can he detect it using the observer system.

Unfortunately, they could only wait for the next wave of intruders to locate them.

Having located the so-called "entry point," he might be able to find a way to shut it down using his own energy.

Back in the tribe, Jingli discovers that Jiao (the female elder of the Flying Tiger tribe), with her amazing memory and learning ability, has reproduced several key scenes from the battle on a newly polished stone slab, and even keenly captured the intruders' pauses.

Previously, her beastly power had also awakened with Keiri's help, but it hadn't shown any obvious signs of being present.

It now seems that it should be an enhancement of mental strength, belonging to the same category as knowledge, but with different manifestations.

Since the other party raised doubts, Jingli didn't hide anything. He described the system as an invisible pocket containing many powerful weapons that exceeded everyone's imagination. The spoils of war they had previously captured were obtained from it.

After saying that, Jingli took out the crystal cores and ordinary weapons from the Duke and the Lord's backpacks and handed them to Jiao and Zhi.

As for the more advanced weapons, it's not that he's unwilling to use them.

Those weapons are too lethal, which means they have a higher margin for error during practice, making it easy to accidentally injure others. They are not suitable for orcs to use for practice.

This part of the weapons should first be given to the orcs, who are more skilled in crafting, for research.

Through research, we must at least enable the orcs to use these advanced weapons freely.

To give an example, suppose the intruder has a mecha from Qi Jian's world in their backpack. Even if they gave it to an orc, the orc wouldn't be able to use it because mental power and the power within their bodies are two different things. To use it correctly, the orc either needs to learn how to convert power like Jing Li, or find a way to replace the energy source and instead use the power that the orc possesses to power it.

Neither of these two approaches is easy, so Jingli won't give too many at once. At this critical juncture, it's better to focus on quality rather than quantity, and taking things step by step is always better than achieving nothing.

Among the tribes of Cangbei, there are three groups skilled in manufacturing: the Ruoshu, the Dashouhou, and the Shuniao. After awakening their beast primal force, they have further improved their abilities and have now figured out basic firearms and a few magical artifacts.

The orcs haven't fully figured out the guns themselves, but they've found a usable alternative to the bullets on their homeland. The bullets are even more effective than ordinary bullets because of the properties of the materials used.

The forging of magical artifacts primarily relies on the Great-Handed Monkeys. This race seems to be born with a talent for crafting weapons. After activating their beastly primal force, they become even more sensitive to the spiritual energy-like substances flowing through this world, and can use themselves as a guide to channel this energy into the weapons they forge. Aside from slightly inferior appearances, the weapons they create are on average comparable to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators, with the best approaching the Golden Core level.

In the world of cultivation, this ability would be considered a racial talent.

Construction on the tribe's side proceeded smoothly, and the hunting team finally located the first large, hidden tribe.

The hero was Little Leopard, who found the White Jade Tribe, led by the Leopard Clan.

The location where the tribal conflict had occurred was not too far from the "Divine Light" base. When the hunting team passed through the ruins, the little leopard felt familiar with them and volunteered to lead the way.

Sure enough, the hunting party crossed a canyon, passed through a narrow cave, and discovered the White Jade tribe hidden behind it.

The once-powerful White Jade tribe now appears quite disheveled.

Beyond the cave lies a small, flat area. This location is exceptionally advantageous, surrounded by high mountains on all sides. The near-vertical cliffs form a natural barrier, and this mountain path is the only convenient way in and out.

However, this depression was only slightly larger than the open space where the Cangbei tribe usually gathered. Two or three huge leaves were used to build temporary small tents, and countless tribesmen squeezed into them in human form.

Clear water flows down the rock face from the mountain, which has solved the tribe's drinking water problem.

The only passage was narrow, and the cubs were running ahead. The little leopard had already smelled the familiar scent, and as it ran, it transformed into its original form. Its panting breaths soon turned into whimpering cries.

The sound became somewhat eerie after being amplified by the echoes in the passageway.

The orcs of the White Jade tribe had all taken up their weapons and were ready to fight, but they were surprised to be met with a small white cannonball.

Before the orc hit by the small cannonball could react, he heard a heart-wrenching cry of "Mother!"

"Hao?"

The leopard-clan orc murmured in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, the little leopard finally burst into tears.

Ever since she was taken in after getting lost during the conflict, no one has called her by her name again. Later, when she was captured by the intruders, Xuan told her it was best not to tell anyone her name, so she obediently kept quiet.

Hearing the familiar orc call his familiar name, Little Leopard, Hao, once again, he could no longer maintain his forced strength and cried his heart out.

When Meng led a group of adult orcs in, the entire White Jade tribe could only maintain an awkward smile amidst Hao's wailing.

Be on guard; something seems off.

If we don't fight, the other orcs will come to our new lair.

Meng broke the awkward silence first.

"Hello, we come from the northern tribes. We are not here to provoke conflict, but for something more important."

Next, Meng concisely shared some information about the intruders, including how the little leopard escaped to the Cangbei tribe and how they found their way here.

Takeshi didn't hide anything about the Beast Force.

The orcs are stronger, which is entirely beneficial in driving away the invaders.

If a cooperation can be reached, Meng will ask Jingli for his opinion after returning to the Cangbei tribe, to see if he is willing to guide the power of the orcs from other tribes.

The rational version of the humanoid character did not speak out to stop this.

Of course, he still felt a little uncomfortable about the fact that Jingli might be tired.

But only a little.

If Jingli is willing, he won't say anything more.

It will only carry him away when it feels tired in the scenery.

After the little leopard finished crying, the two sides finally sat down and had a proper chat, and the whole process went very smoothly.

Not only because of the leopard cub's assurance, but also because they had personally witnessed the terror of the intruders.
