I thrived in the primitive tribe

As evening fell, the group finally arrived at the tribe. The sentries spotted them from afar and went back to report to the chief. As Lu Yao and the others approached, a group of people emerged from the tribe, led by a middle-aged man who appeared to be their leader.

The two stopped at an appropriate distance and looked at each other.

"Hello, may I ask what brings you to our tribe?" the leader asked warily.

"Hello, we are orcs from the Dragon Alliance tribe. We accidentally rescued an injured orc from your tribe and brought him back to our tribe. We came here recently on business and thought we'd take the opportunity to look for your tribe. We don't know if he has returned yet. If he hasn't, we'd like to go back to our tribe and bring him back."

Upon hearing Loya's words, one of the people in the group quickly ran back to their tribe, as if they were urgently looking for someone.

"Can you tell me under what circumstances you saved him?" the man asked warily.

“A few days ago, I was returning to our tribe from here when I found an orc being chased by a pack of wolves. I rescued him because he was unconscious, so I took him back to our tribe for treatment.”

"How do you know that person is from our tribe?" The man's expression became increasingly wary.

"Of course, it was the Beast God who guided us here." Lu Yao looked at Luo Ya, who was talking nonsense with a straight face, in surprise from behind, and muttered to herself.

"That's obviously a lie, no wonder the other side wouldn't believe it!"

"So it was the Beast God's signal."

Seeing that the other party's wariness had eased slightly, Lu Yao once again felt the immense influence of the Beast God on this continent.

At this moment, a thin-looking man walked out of the tribe and slowly walked up to the leader, looking at Loya and the others.

"Are you from the Dragon Alliance tribe?"

"Yes you are?"

"I am the orc you saved."

Loya frowned and looked at the person in front of him, saying, "You don't look like him to me. Although that person was seriously injured and covered in blood, I shouldn't be mistaken."

The man looked at Loya, who was staring at him with a furrowed brow, and suddenly burst into laughter. "I am indeed not the person you saved. You saved my brother. Your tribe just brought him back a day ago."

"Then what are you doing?" Loya asked, his expression displeased.

"I just wanted to test you to see if you were the one who saved my brother."

"Is this confirmed now? Although I can't be 100% sure, it should be pretty close to 80 or 90 percent."

“You’re quite honest,” Loya said, pursing his lips.

"We were rude, but it's not our fault. What if you were bad people?"

"Didn't your brother already come back? Didn't he describe to you who saved him?" Lu Yao peeked out from behind Luo Ya and asked unhappily.

“He did tell me that the person who saved him was Loya from the Dragon Alliance tribe, but because he was unconscious at the time, although he was briefly conscious, he didn’t see what the person who saved him looked like. What if you were imposters?”

"Pretending to be Loya to come to your tribe? Does your tribe have something that others covet?" Lu Yao asked.

"Well, I don't know either. Maybe they're after our tribe? You know our tribe just had a fierce battle with the wolf pack, and we haven't recovered yet, so we need to be careful. What do you think?"

"No matter what, you have your reasons," Lu Yao muttered to herself.

"What did you say? Please speak louder, I didn't hear you."

"It's alright, please continue."

"You must be Loya. Thank you for saving my brother." The man said to Loya with a gentle expression.

"How do you know he's Luo Ya?" Lu Yao's head popped out from behind again.

"Of course, my brother told me."

"Didn't you say your brother didn't see Loya's face clearly at the time? What did he tell you?" Upon hearing this, the others all focused their attention on him.

"Although he didn't see clearly, he vaguely remembered his height and build, and he also told me that Loya was out on business. Based on these factors, it's not hard to make a reasonable guess."

"What if you guess wrong?"

"That's okay, so what if I guessed wrong? You already told me the answer, didn't you?"

Looking at this somewhat scoundrel in front of her, Lu Yao was utterly shocked.

"So there are... people in the orc world too!"

"Now that you've confirmed our identities, aren't you going to treat us well to thank us for saving your brother?"

Seeing the question mark on the other person's face, Lu Yao said speechlessly.

"First of all, shouldn't you properly invite us in and then prepare a meal for us?"

The man was shocked that Lu Yao could actually ask them to thank her for saving her brother.

The person who had been standing silently to the side spoke up.

"Indeed, thank you for saving my youngest son. I am the chief of this tribe, named Si. Please follow me."

“We’ve disturbed you,” Loya replied, and then the group followed Chief Si into the tribe.

"It's a bit messy inside the tribe, please don't mind," Chief Si said, leading Lu Yao and the others into a shed made of branches and leaves.

"Please have a seat, I'll go tell someone to prepare dinner." With that, he led everyone out.

Lu Yao looked around the shed.

"What kind of orcs are they? Why don't they live in caves?"

“They should be herbivorous dinosaur-like beastmen,” replied a member of the tribe who was also observing the shed.

"You can't even tell what kind of orcs they are?"

"How can you assume that we can tell what kind of orcs they are without them transforming into them?"

"How did Naroya know beforehand that the person he rescued was an orc?"

"We can tell if someone is an orc, but we can't tell what kind of orc it is without seeing its original form," Loya explained to Lu Yao.

"Oh, I thought you could tell what race this orc was just by looking at him."

"The kind of situation you described should have existed in ancient times. Legend has it that the first generation of orcs, who were enlightened by orcs, would have racial totems on their bodies. You could tell what race it was just by looking at the totems, without having to transform into an orc."

"So, did you evolve and eventually lose the totems that identified your identities?"

"That's how it should be."

"Then how do you know they are herbivorous dinosaur-like beastmen?"

"Didn't you notice there's no trace of meat consumption in this tribe?"

"That's right. Both carnivorous and omnivorous dinosaur beastmen eat meat to fill their stomachs. Only herbivorous dinosaur beastmen don't eat meat."

"I see. You are very observant. You are truly worthy of being orcs from our tribe."

Hearing Lu Yao's praise, the smiles on their faces were impossible to suppress.

"So what's next?" Lu Yao asked, looking at them.

They looked at each other and then turned their gaze to Loya.
