Chapter 302 Reindeer Tribe Base Camp
Chapter 302 Reindeer Tribe Base Camp
The group obediently stopped and made way for Xiong Chong to walk to the front.
Xiong Chong clasped his fists and said loudly, "Friends of the Reindeer Tribe, I am Xiong Chong of the Giant Bear Tribe!"
"I've come to meet your chieftain, Xunliang!"
The reindeer tribe warriors, hidden in the moonlight, exchanged glances, whispered a few words, and then one of them ran off.
"Wait here a moment, someone has already gone to inform our hunting team leader!"
Finally, the tall reindeer warrior warned again, "Don't go any further."
Xiong Chong glanced subtly behind him. Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang at the back of the group exchanged a look, and Lang Cang said in a deep voice, "Take a few steps back."
Upon receiving the order, the group retreated a few meters. The reindeer warrior with the bone fork nodded in satisfaction at their actions and then retreated back into the shadows.
Seeing their demeanor, Xiong Chong felt uneasy. The Giant Bear Tribe had already declined, and he wondered if the Reindeer Tribe would agree to their proposal.
Not long after, a tall and imposing orc appeared out of nowhere.
This is a middle-aged male orc with a thick beard and a somewhat fierce appearance, which doesn't quite match the animal form of a reindeer.
He was shirtless, with a scar over ten centimeters long on his left shoulder that looked quite gruesome.
Lin Baiyan was somewhat astonished. With such a long wound, he wondered how the man had survived.
As soon as the male orc emerged, he spotted Xiong Chong at the head of the group. He strode forward, grabbed Xiong Chong, and dragged him into the shadows. The burly, rough voice of the tamer lowered slightly, "Don't you know that the Super Xiong tribe is searching everywhere for you? How dare you swagger out like this!"
"Didn't you run away? What are you doing back here? Don't you trust those brats with us here?" Xunwu glared at Xiong Chong with exasperation.
Xiong Chong felt a little relieved, his eyes stinging slightly. "I'm naturally at ease leaving it to you, but I'm here for something else."
Xunwu glanced at him suspiciously, then tilted his head slightly and saw several unfamiliar orcs behind him.
The moment Xunwu met Lang Cang's gaze, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end. He quickly looked away and asked Xiong Chong, "Is this related to them?"
Xunwu knew Xiong Chong's temperament; he would never lead a strange orc to the territory of the reindeer tribe unless absolutely necessary.
Xiong Chong nodded. "These are the city lord and high priest of the Beast City, formerly the Azure Flame Tribe. We've come here to discuss important matters with the Reindeer Tribe."
Xunwu glanced at the young orc behind him. He had heard of the Azure Flame Tribe, which was said to be a large and wealthy tribe that had migrated from the west.
But how come he heard that the chieftain of the Azure Flame Tribe should be a middle-aged male beastman?
But now is not the time to talk about these things. Xunwu paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it believable?"
Xiong Chong nodded solemnly, "I swear on my life!"
Xunwu sighed, glanced at him, and said, "Alright, come with me."
The group followed Xunwu and continued deeper into the forest. After walking a few hundred meters along the spring, a towering waterfall came into view.
Xunwu led them to the far right side of the waterfall's base. He turned to Xiong Chong and the others, saying, "Stay close to me."
After saying that, he stepped into the waterfall, and Xunwu's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving the waterfall intact.
Lin Baiyan was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? He just blinked and disappeared!
Xiong Chong followed closely behind without changing his expression, and then entered the waterfall.
Lang Cang looked at the group of people and said in a deep voice, "Stay close to me." No one knew what lay beyond the waterfall.
Lin Baiyan quickly nodded seriously and grabbed Lang Cang's animal skin coat.
Lang Cang gripped his partner's wrist tightly. The situation was unclear, and it was best for Lin Baiyan to stay under his watchful eye.
The two of them stepped into the waterfall together.
After the immense water pressure, Lin Baiyan was suddenly drenched for a few seconds and was still a little unaccustomed to it. He shook the water off his hair vigorously before he had a chance to look around at his surroundings.
It was pitch black, but fortunately everyone had good night vision.
Xunwu and Xiongchong were already waiting to the side. When they saw them coming, Xunwu said in a deep voice, "Let's move forward. We haven't reached the tribe yet."
No one knew that the reindeer tribe's base camp was hidden behind such a waterfall. There was a hidden world inside. Behind the waterfall was a dark and narrow tunnel, and after walking out, a lush green grassland came into view.
Looking at the reindeer tribe's base camp, Lin Baiyan would have loved to exclaim "Wow!" if the occasion hadn't been inappropriate.
This is just like the Water Curtain Cave of Sun Wukong's Flower and Fruit Mountain. He has really broadened his horizons to see a real-life version of the Water Curtain Cave!
No wonder the reindeer tribe, despite not being very strong in combat, is still famous. With this base camp, as long as the reindeer tribe doesn't do anything reckless, they can live and thrive in this paradise on earth for at least several hundred years!
Seeing this, Lin Baiyan became somewhat worried about the purpose of his trip. Would the reindeer tribe agree to their proposal?
After walking another hundred or two meters, Lin Baiyan discovered the drawback of this grassland. He frowned slightly. This place must have once been a mountain. As the earth's crust evolved, the valley cracked open, creating a fissure in the middle, which turned into the shallow basin we see today.
Xunwu led them to the innermost tent.
Xunwu's rough voice boomed, "Chieftain! Xiong Chong has brought people from the Cangyan tribe to visit, saying they have something to discuss with you!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure rushed out of the tent like the wind, shouting, "Where is he?!"
Another voice hurriedly said from behind, "Little ancestor, slow down!"
After the man stopped, Lin Baiyan could see his face clearly; it was the same baby-faced sub-beastman from before.
"You are Xun Su." Lin Baiyan's confident voice came from behind. Xun Su immediately recognized the fair-skinned sub-beastman from the trading tribe.
"It's you? What are you doing here? Where's my Uncle Chong!"
Xiong Chong walked out from the back of the group with a smile, "Xiao Xunsu, Uncle Chong is here."
Xun Su's eyes reddened the moment he saw Xiong Chong. He rushed forward like a cannonball, crashing himself down in front of Xiong Chong. Seeing him standing there unharmed, he choked out, "Uncle Chong, I thought..."
I thought he was dead.
Xiong Chong grinned, "Your Uncle Chong is lucky to be alive!"
