I thrived in the primitive tribe

The siren temporarily settled in the Dragon Alliance tribe, because there was a group of unknown creatures outside the tribe.

Although they haven't posed a real threat to the tribe yet, no one dares to let their guard down.

Therefore, the orcs, who originally planned to go out and find a new place to live for their tribe, temporarily put their plans on hold.

They planned to set off only after the tribe was completely safe.

And so, everyone lived peacefully for a few days.

Early that morning, everyone got up as usual to go to the bamboo forest not far from the village to cut down a few bamboo stalks.

To make the bamboo baskets and such that Lu Yao had mentioned before.

After a quick breakfast, everyone gathered together and, led by the shaman, prepared to set off for the bamboo forest.

After spending a few days together, the siren lowered her guard considerably.

Seeing so many people going out made me very envious, but I also thought about how inconvenient it would be for my tail to walk on land.

It could only sit on the stool that Lu Yao had specially made for it and watch everyone leave. Just as everyone was about to leave the tribe,

The tribesmen standing on the watchtower called them to a halt. The tribesmen in the group looked at the people standing above, puzzled.

"Wait a moment, we've detected some unusual activity in the forest."

Going out now might cause unforeseen circumstances, so please wait in the village for a while.

"Let's go and inform the chief first, and you can go out only after we've ensured your safety."

At this moment, the Great Shaman was standing at the back of the group with Lu Yao, discussing their plans for entering the bamboo forest that day.

Therefore, the person speaking did not pay attention to the two people in the group, but assumed that everyone was going to check out the forest because the weather was getting warmer.

Are there any fresh plants we can pick? After all, it's been a long time since we've had any fresh food.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the group of people in front of him, hoping that one of them would step forward and give him a reply.

When he finally saw the great shaman emerging from the crowd, a look of shock crossed his face for a moment.

Why is the high priest in this group? Has he run out of herbs?

"Great Shaman, are you preparing to gather herbs?" He pondered for a moment, then asked:

"There are some creatures we don't know living in the forest opposite the tribe. The herbs on the edge of the forest probably haven't grown yet."

Going out now is not only unsafe, but you may also not gain anything.

Why don't you tell the chief what herbs you need, and then have the chief send orcs to find them for you from afar?

While speaking, he observed the expression on the high shaman's face.

I don't know if the Great Shaman listened. It's not safe outside right now. We still need to think of a way to stall them.

Someone has already gone to inform the leader, but I don't know when they'll be here!

Just as he was lost in thought, the high shaman spoke up and asked:

"You just said there was some noise in the forest, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression immediately turned serious. Realizing that the two were quite far apart, he spoke briefly with the tribespeople who were resting nearby.

He asked him to keep an eye on the other side for him, and then immediately ran down the watchtower to the Great Shaman.

"It's...it's what we just discovered," he reported to the high shaman, catching his breath.

"We've noticed that the creatures on the other side, who had been quiet until now, have started moving frequently today. We wonder if something's happened to them internally,"

"Did you see clearly what they were doing?" Lu Yao asked, standing to the side.

"Because of the distance and the obstruction of the surrounding trees, we couldn't see exactly what they were doing."

"I only had a vague feeling that some important person had come from their side."

"Why would you feel that way?" Lu Yao looked at the young man in front of her in surprise.

"It's through these days of observation that I've vaguely figured it out, but I can't explain exactly how I figured it out."

The young man's face was full of confusion; not knowing how to express himself, he could only speak his true thoughts.

"I see!" Lu Yao looked at the deep forest opposite her, her mind seemingly lost in thought.

"So, are you going to wait here for the leader to arrive, or go back first?" the young man asked.

"We're not going to the forest across the street today. We were originally planning to go to the bamboo forest, but after hearing what you said, let's postpone it for now."

In case anything happens here, we can help deal with it together.

The high shaman listened for a long time before speaking, then turned to the tribespeople behind him and said:

"You all go back first. I remember there were a few bamboo poles over at the animal enclosure. You can move them over here first."

Once things are settled here, we'll go to the bamboo forest and cut down some new bamboo.

Lu Yao and I are waiting here for the leader to arrive so we can see if we can find out what happened on the other side.

That way, we can make the appropriate decisions as soon as possible.

After hearing the high shaman's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they all wanted to stay and follow the high shaman and the others to find out exactly what had happened, they were all at a loss.

But considering that so many of them are here, they might not necessarily be of any help, and could even cause trouble.

So after saying goodbye to the shaman and his companions, they walked hand in hand back to the tribe.

Only the Great Witch, Lu Yao, and the young man who had previously prevented them from going out remained.

The three of them climbed the watchtower together and looked towards the location where they had previously observed the unusual activity.

Lu Yao looked at the bare forest across the way, only branches remaining, and thought...

Thankfully, those unknown creatures arrived at this time of year. If the plants were in full bloom, the scene inside would be completely invisible from this side.

Should we try to build a telescope or something? I can't see anything from this far away at all; the orcs' eyesight is just amazing.

She turned her gaze away, looked at the two people beside her, and said in a coquettish tone:

"It's too far away, I can't see anything at all. What do you see? Tell me quickly."

The high shaman turned to look at Lu Yao, who stood beside him with a hopeful expression, and shook his head:

“I didn’t see anything either,” he said, turning to the orc standing beside him.

"What did you see? Tell us about it."

They looked at each other and both said they hadn't seen anything either.

"Could it be that they've hidden themselves? Or have they disappeared again, vanished without a trace?" Lu Yao asked, her face full of questions.

Just as the group was wondering where the creatures on the other side had gone, the leader arrived with several orcs.

"What's the situation now? Have you found anything else?"

The leader's habit of arriving with his voice before he did remained unchanged; the high shaman turned to look at the entrance.

Only then did the leader's figure appear. "You've arrived," he said.

"Oh my, Da Wu, Lu Yao, you're here too? Did they notify you to come over as well?"

As the chief spoke, he looked at the tribesmen standing beside the two, his eyes full of questions.

"They didn't notify us. We're planning to go to the bamboo forest today. Didn't we tell you before?"

As they were leaving the tribe, their unusual movements were noticed and they were stopped, so they stayed behind to see what was going on.

The high priest explained.

"Oh, I see. So everyone else has gone back now?"

"Yes, I told them to use the bamboo from the animal enclosure first, and we'll go to the bamboo forest later when it's safe."

"That's good. Did you make any new discoveries just now?" the chief said, walking to the front of the watchtower and looking out at the distant forest.

The forest was eerily quiet at this moment. Normally, the snow in the forest would have already started to melt by now.

Some animals should be awakening and wandering the forest in search of food, but right now the forest across the way is so quiet.

This was unreasonable, and several people felt a sense of unease.
