I thrived in the primitive tribe

They've been at the Orc Market for several days now, and Lu Yao and her companions have exchanged almost all the items they had.

After counting the plants, seeds, fruits, and other items they had exchanged, they felt it was time to head home.

That morning, as the group prepared to return to the Dragon Alliance tribe with their belongings, Lu Yao, watching them busily packing, suddenly asked a question.

"Aren't there any domesticated rideable animals at the Orc Market?"

“This should exist,” one of the tribesmen said.

“I remember a tribe used to tame feathered dragons as mounts,” a tribesman next to me interjected.

"Speaking of the tailed dragons, I just remembered, there seems to be such a tribe,"

"Then why didn't I see anyone riding a feathered dragon at the orc market?" Lu Yao asked, sounding a little anxious.

"I think it's because they didn't come."

"Don't all tribes come to the Orc Market?" Lu Yao asked, puzzled.

“No, that’s not the case. Only orc tribes that need to trade here will send people over. If a tribe doesn’t have any items they want to trade, they generally won’t come,” Jiuli said.

"Why is that? Even if you don't need anything, you can still come and take a look. Like us, you might get some unexpected surprises, right?" Lu Yao asked, puzzled.

"Why else could it be? Of course, it's because the journey here wasn't safe," Jiu Li continued, seeing Lu Yao open her mouth as if to say something.

"You mean to say that we haven't encountered any danger along the way, right?"

Seeing Lu Yao nod, Jiu Li sighed.

"That's because we all transformed into Tyrannosaurus Rex, and after they smelled our presence..."

Most predators won't confront us head-on, especially since they have plenty of food at this time of year, so there's no need for them to risk fighting us.

After hearing Jiu Li's explanation, Lu Yao suddenly understood, "So that's how it is. No wonder I felt the journey had been a bit too smooth."

I thought there would be few wild beasts on this road to the orc market, but I didn't expect to be intimidated by the Tyrannosaurus Rex's aura.

"Yes."

"Is the tribe that tames the tailed dragons close to here?" Lu Yao asked Jiu Li.

"Well, I haven't been there. You'll have to ask Loya. I remember he seemed to have passed through there before." The group turned their gazes to Loya.

Looking at the many eager eyes before him, Loya recalled the events in his mind.

"It should be on the road back to our tribe, but it's in the opposite direction. What's wrong, Lu Yao? Are you going to exchange for the Tail Feather Dragon?"

“Mmm,” Lu Yao nodded her head frantically. “But what do you think of this Feathered Dragon? It would be such a waste if we went through all that trouble only to find out the mount isn’t any good.”

Loya thought for a moment and said, "In my memory, the tailed dragon is quite fast, so it would be a great mount."

"Why don't we stop by that tribe on our way back? It's not a good idea for you to keep turning into beast forms all the time."

"We can't let you sacrifice your health every time. If we can bring the Feathered Dragon back, we won't need to transform into beast form unless absolutely necessary."

Seeing that Lu Yao was thinking of them in every way, the group felt a warmth in their hearts. "Then let's go take a look," Jiu Li said loudly, and then quickened the pace of packing.

The remaining people also quickened their pace, hoping to leave as soon as possible and reach the tribe sooner.

Because of the many things exchanged, especially the roasted meat, the space in the wicker basket that had been vacated due to the exchange of pottery was filled again.

After dismantling their makeshift shelter, they embarked on a journey to find a tribe that raised tailed dragons.

Lu Yao remained seated on Loya's back, pressing her head close to the Tyrannosaurus Rex to avoid being thrown off by the rapidly running Loya.

"Loya, why did we tear down the temporary shelter we built before? Wouldn't it have been better if we left it there so we wouldn't have to build it again next time he comes?"

Hearing Lu Yao's questioning voice, Luo Ya replied, "This time we're building temporary accommodations over there, but we might not be there next time we come."

"Think about it, if every orc who goes to the orc market keeps their own temporary accommodation, then the orc market will soon become so crowded that there will be no empty space to set up a stall."

"Oh, I thought there were some special rules."

"It is indeed a rule, but it is something that everyone consciously abides by and upholds, so it can be considered a kind of convention."

"Okay, I understand," Lu Yao said, pressing her head, which she had just raised while speaking, tightly against Luo Ya's back.

Feeling the wind blowing on her body, Lu Yao felt that the air here was more humid and not as dry as before, perhaps because the rainy season was getting closer.

"How much longer until we get there?" After watching the afterimages of the trees for a long time, Lu Yao finally couldn't help but ask Luo Ya.

“It should be soon. We should reach the fork in the road by this evening,” Loya replied, looking at the terrain ahead.

"Should we rest there for the night, or continue our journey?"

"I plan to rest there for one night. Traveling at night is too dangerous. Even as Tyrannosaurus Rex, we have to be careful. Besides, we are not familiar with the road conditions there."

"Ok."

Loya sped up and ran forward, telling his tribesmen his plans. Then, as they approached the fork in the road, they slowed down and came to a stop.

"Let's rest here for the night and set off early tomorrow morning. If I remember correctly, we should reach the tribe by tomorrow afternoon."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After a hurried dinner, they took turns keeping watch, making the most of their time to rest so they could be in better spirits for the next day.

The next day, before dawn, Lu Yao was woken up by Luo Ya.

"Lu Yao, it's time to set off. We must get there before dawn so we can arrive sooner."

Lu Yao rubbed her sleepy eyes, her consciousness gradually returning from its hazy state.

Looking at Loya standing in front of him, he replied, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that Lu Yao was almost awake, Luo Ya instructed, "Wait a moment, hold on tight to my back, and don't let go."

"Okay, I understand." To clear her mind, Lu Yao slapped her cheeks a few times.

Loya turned around to let Luya climb up, but saw this scene and felt a pang of heartache.

However, there was no other way. He was afraid that if he went too late, it would be even more difficult to go to the tribe, which would delay him by another day.

With the rainy season approaching, Loya wanted to return to the tribe as soon as possible, otherwise being on the road during the rainy season would be a very bad thing.

During the rainy season, the forest not only becomes muddy and dangerous, but the orcs' hearing is also impaired by the sound of rain, making them less able to perceive danger.
