Chapter 307 Beaver Tribe
The group slowly swam downstream along the winding river. After about half an hour, the scenery gradually opened up, and they finally arrived at the beavers' territory.
Along the way, Ruan Mianmian chatted happily with the little beastman named He beside her.
After some conversation, she learned that the adorable little guy was the child of the beaver tribe's leader.
Perhaps because he had been staying in his own tribe for too long and felt bored, he often wandered alone along the upper reaches of the river. As a result, he knew this area very well.
Just then, the beaver orcs in the distance keenly sensed that other orcs were slowly approaching their tribe.
So they immediately took off running, vying to inform their leader.
Meanwhile, some of the female orcs in the tribe quickly picked up their young cubs and hurriedly ran towards the river behind the tribe.
After all, if they encountered those homeless, wandering orcs, the only thing their entire tribe could do was hide in the river to seek a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, Jiang, the leader of the beaver tribe, was also extremely anxious after hearing about this. He rushed out of the cave in a hurry.
Immediately afterward, he made a decisive move, waving his hand to signal his people to quickly find a safe place to hide.
Then, he personally selected several strong and brave tribal warriors, and together they strode out of the tribe with firm steps.
Jiang thought to himself: If the visitor was just lost and happened to pass by, that would be fine; but if the visitor was really a vicious wandering orc, then he and the warriors around him would have to fight with all their might to buy enough precious time for the tribe to escape!
At this moment, the orcs of the Eastern tribe had no idea how much panic their group had brought to their tribe.
They admired the scenery along the way and followed the river's guidance to this place.
As the two groups approached, Jiang realized that the newcomers did not have that fierce aura, and he felt slightly relieved, but he remained vigilant.
Seeing his people so nervous, He rushed forward and shouted, "Father Xiong, don't panic, they are my friends."
Jiang was stunned, and the warriors around him looked at each other in bewilderment.
The beastmen from the Eastern tribes came forward and greeted them in a friendly manner.
Jiang smiled awkwardly and quickly told his people to lower their guard.
He Xiangjiang introduced the people from the Eastern Tribe, explaining that he had invited them.
After seeing Jiang, Ruan Mianmian took a step forward and said, "Greetings, Beaver Chief. I am Ruan, the chief of the Eastern Tribe from the Plains. I apologize for disturbing you today."
Jiang was initially a little nervous, but he relaxed a lot after seeing Ruan Mianmian.
The tribe's leader is this female, and she seems quite polite; she probably won't make things difficult for anyone.
Moreover, since it was brought by our own son, we should treat him well out of courtesy and respect.
"The Eastern Chief, is that right? Welcome to our tribe. This way, please."
Now that Jiang had figured it out, he quickly led them into the tribe.
At this moment, the members of the Beaver Clan emerged from their hiding places, their faces filled with relief at surviving the disaster and curiosity about the unknown tribe.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and nodded when she saw the orcs.
The beaver tribe lives in caves, which are small and damp and not suitable for entertaining guests.
So the beaver chief led everyone to sit down in the center of the tribe and instructed the tribespeople to bring over some sashimi to entertain the guests.
“It is rather impolite of us to have you sit here, Eastern leader, but our cave is damp and dark and not suitable for you to live in, so we can only entertain you here.”
Jiang rubbed his hands together somewhat embarrassedly. They had lived here for a long time without interacting with other tribes, so their environment was indeed quite simple.
Ruan Mianmian quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, this is fine."
She turned to look at her companions, and they all nodded in agreement.
Just then, a young beaver orc hurried over carrying a wooden platter with neatly sliced raw fish on it. The fish meat was crystal clear and radiated an enticing glow.
"Ren, try our sashimi, it's delicious."
He had already become familiar with Ruan Mianmian, and he happily introduced the fish slices from his tribe, inviting Ruan Mianmian to eat.
Ruan Mianmian was the first to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth; the texture was fresh, tender, and smooth. "This fish is so fresh and delicious."
Jiang smiled憨厚ly upon hearing the praise.
"We beavers may not have much else, but we have plenty of fish in the river."
"Father, let's learn how to roast meat from the Eastern tribes. Their roasted meat is especially delicious. If we learn it, we won't go hungry when we can't catch fish in winter!"
He spoke to his father, Jiang, his eyes filled with hope that his father would agree.
Jiang looked at Ruan Mianmian somewhat awkwardly and said, "It's not that we don't want to learn, it's just that the orcs in our tribe are not good at hunting. Even if we learn, there's nothing we can do if we can't catch prey."
Ruan Mianmian rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, our Eastern tribe has a method for preserving food that can keep fish for longer. We can share it with your tribe."
Jiang's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great! Fish are hard to catch in winter, and we often go hungry."
Ruan Mianmian then explained in detail how to make dried fish, including how to cut it, what seasonings to use for marinating, and how to dry it. Jiang listened very attentively, and the beaver beastmen nearby also gathered around to listen to the novel method.
"This is truly a remarkable method; the Eastern tribes are indeed formidable," Jiang exclaimed sincerely.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Let's learn from each other. Our two tribes can visit each other more often in the future." All the orcs nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere became harmonious and cheerful.
The two tribes also shared their cultural customs. The beaver tribe learned many novel survival skills, while the eastern tribe was amazed by the beaver tribe's unique dam-building ability.
