These old, weak and sick people gritted their teeth and begged Ye Xing to take them in, but they had already reached their wits' end and had nowhere else to turn.

Through their stories, Ye Xing once again felt the cruelty of the snow season.

Before the snow season arrives, the orcs in the tribe will lead young females and cubs to caves to avoid the cold.

The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people followed behind spontaneously, going as far as they could. However, it was not just for survival as Ye Xing thought, but more as... bait!

If they encounter ferocious wild beasts during migration, they will be the first to become the beast's meal, slowing down the beast's speed and becoming the victim of the entire tribe.

Those who were lucky enough not to be eaten might not be able to reach the cave alive. Even if they did, what awaited them was another sacrifice in the long snowy season.

Especially in small tribes like the Elk, since the orcs' combat effectiveness is relatively low, people are eaten by wild beasts every year.

In the past, everyone was accustomed to such a fate, and the elderly or the injured would save food for the survivors.

But now, some people have suddenly changed.

When the rain came, they saw with their own eyes Ye Xing in the Tiger Tribe descending from the sky like a god, and then the terrible flood retreated.

They also heard that Ye Xing was very brave and strong, able to fight against the entire Tiger Tribe, and she also saved two females who knew nothing.

This has never happened in previous years.

The appearance of Ye Xing suddenly gave them hope of survival.

They wanted to try to find a way to survive for themselves. Even living one more day was better than being killed by wild beasts.

So, these people made up their minds to sneak into the forest. It would be best if they could find Ye Xing, but if they couldn't find him, his fate would be the same as his future, so there was nothing to complain about.

God bless them, they actually found it!

"As long as we can survive, or... allow us to live in your territory, we can do anything!" The leading orc bowed deeply.

Following his actions, the others began to pray as well.

Hu Mian had been standing aside with a sour face. Seeing this scene, he felt very uncomfortable and his brows frowned unconsciously.

Ye Xing stood with his hands behind his back and asked Hu Mian: "Do you want to save them?"

Hu Mian bit his lower lip and thought for a long time, then nodded heavily and said, "I want to save him."

"why?"

"It's so pitiful to be eaten by wild animals. They are human beings just like me!"

"Aren't you afraid that they will drag you down? Hu Mian is also afraid of the snow season, right?" Ye Xing asked.

Hu Mian first glanced at Ye Xing, then said, "I'm not really scared. There are armored beasts! Now that you're with me, I'm even less scared!"

"You can let them live in the armored beasts' tunnels, and when the weather gets warmer, let them grow grass. Didn't you say you hate farming the most? Let them grow grass." Hu Mian said flatteringly.

Ye Xing raised the corners of his lips when he heard that, and couldn't help but rub Hu Mian's furry head, feeling that the child had grown a lot.

As Hu Mian said, she also needed to save these people. They were not needed for hunting, but there was a need for people to do many other chores.

It doesn’t matter whether they truly surrender or not. After this snow season, they will naturally understand who is the real ruler.

"You heard it. Hu Mian said yes you can stay."

Ye Xing turned around and said to those people, "But we don't have time to build houses now. You can only live in the tunnels temporarily. I will ask someone to teach you the rules. As long as you do as I ask, you can live well!"

After hearing Ye Xing's words, those people were ecstatic. The females knelt down excitedly and crawled a few steps devoutly towards Hu Mian, and it seemed that they wanted to get even closer.

Hu Mian quickly took a step back and hid behind Ye Xing, shouting, "Don't kneel to me, it's so ugly, I don't want it!"

Ye Xing was amused, so he turned around to block him, and said to those people with a gloomy face: "Change your old habits. No one is required to sacrifice their bodies here. If I find anyone who dares to take advantage of Humian, all of you will disappear immediately."

Those people were frightened by Ye Xing's momentum, and retreated tremblingly, nodding in agreement hurriedly.

After a while, the leading orc named Luye seemed hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"What? Is there anything else you haven't explained?" Ye Xing asked in a deep voice.

"...Uh, no, what I meant was...there are many people like us, and maybe someone will come looking for you." Lu Ye answered carefully.

This was also what Ye Xing had expected. Since Lu Ye and the others thought of coming to Ye Xing for help, other people would think so too. Once one person started it, more people would be unable to hold back.

Who wouldn't want to live if it were possible?

It was so in the previous life and it is so in this life. This is the instinct of living things.

"It doesn't matter. As long as they can find this place, I will give them a chance to survive!"

Ye Xing casually picked off a dead leaf from Hu Mian's head and said to them calmly: "From now on, you will call me His Royal Highness Prince Ye!"
