Traveling through the world of beasts: I lead the system to build an empire

"It's a stray beast!"

In the bushes on the other side of the forest, the lizard beastman cried out in surprise, and the big tail behind him shook faster.

They had just returned from hunting and were preparing to cook when they sensed orcs approaching.

The orcs from the nearby tribes usually don't go deep into the woods, only those who need to pass through will go there, and the tribes that went to the North Beast City to exchange salt this year have all returned.

The only ones who would go to North Beast City at this time would be the females who wanted to visit the Beast City.

Since the female is slow, it makes sense that we have arrived now since we set out during the rainy season.

They immediately ignored everything else, even the prey they had just caught was thrown aside, and they all sent out their senses to explore.

But they were orcs without any perception ability after all. They held their breath and concentrated for a long time before they could distinguish that there were stray beasts among the people.

This is probably due to the induction between similar people.

The lizard was suddenly depressed.

If there are stray animals, there will be no females.

As we all know, females are afraid of or hate stray animals, let alone follow them around.

Even if there really is a stray animal that is so bold as to take the stolen females around to play around, so what?

Their ultimate goal is to send Dahei into the tribe. Can it be considered progress if he goes from following them, the stray animals, to following other stray animals?

They really want Dahei to improve.

"What are you yelling about?" The black snake, who usually sleeps most of the time, was awake for a rare moment and reprimanded with a serious expression, "The smell of the snake is already in my face, what do you need to say?"

His name is Shihe, and he is considered the patriarch of this small group of stray animals.

Life in the wild is not peaceful and one can get hurt if one is not careful. Shi He was seriously injured in a fight with the giant beast king and was often drowsy because of that.

Even if groups of stray animals met, they would not interfere with each other and would not fight for no reason. It was just that the pressure from the snake was too strong, and facing the threat, he had to wake up from his confusion.

Shi Hei's tone was bad, but the stray animals didn't take it to heart.

Because they are used to it.

Shi He really cared about them in his heart, but he was just harsh with his words.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted those tribal orcs to accept Dahei, Shihei wouldn't have fought against the giant beast king and suffered such serious injuries and a broken tail.

It’s a pity that the tribe refused to take Dahei no matter what.

After being taught a lesson by Shihei, the lizard orc went to deal with the prey reluctantly.

The lobster said with regret, "I thought it was a female. I got excited for nothing."

Quiet again.

"If you don't know how to talk, just shut up," the giant salamander flicked its tail at him, then turned around to comfort the lost Dahei, "Don't lose heart, it's not the rainy season yet, we still have a chance."

Accompanied by the giant salamander's whispered comfort, Shi He slowly went to find an open space to rest.

Knowing that they were stray animals, Shi He would not let his guard down, but he would not force himself to stay awake either.

After all, if you don’t rest well, you can’t fight well.

However, just as Shi He curled up and took a nap, he felt a vibration where his abdomen touched the ground.

He raised his head suddenly, straightened his upper body and held the snake stick upright.

The stray animals that were busy around immediately dropped their work and tensed their muscles into fighting postures.

According to past experience, if Shihei appears in this state, it is either because they have caused trouble and made Shihei angry, or there is danger nearby.

He was a snake orc, and of a higher level than them, so he was better at sensing danger than them, and could sense the approach of orcs sooner and react to it.

The stray animals all believed in him.

As expected, the wandering beasts who had just prepared for battle heard Shi He say, "There are more than a dozen wolf beastmen coming towards us, very fast."

There are wolf orcs in the northern continent. In addition to the more common white wolves, there is also a type of wolf with silver-white fur.

They call themselves the Northern Wolves or the Northern Wolves and live on the northernmost sacred mountain in the northern continent.

That mountain is covered with snow all year round and is as tall as the Beast God Mountain, so tall that flying orcs cannot cross it. It is said that it is the palace of the Beast God on the continent.

Beilang's belief in the Beast God is so blind that even the orcs cannot understand it.

They believe that the Northern Wolf Clan has the responsibility to protect the holy mountain for generations and that they have sacred bloodline. They never go out, never contact orcs from the outside world, and will not even mate with females from the outside world.

It's weird anyway.

It is known that wolf orcs like to live in groups and usually appear in groups. Wolf orcs have always been liked by females and are rarely driven out of the tribe by females. Those who appear in groups must be tribal wolves.

But the northern wolf will not appear here, and the white wolf will not appear in the deep forest at this time of year because of its conspicuous fur color.

So where did these wolves come from?

Judging from the time and distance, these wolves seemed to have come from the snake orcs.

Didn't the two sides encounter each other?

This might be the first thought that came to Shi He's mind.

wrong.

He quickly overturned his guess.

Unless you are blind or deaf, it is impossible not to encounter it at such a close distance.

Even if they encountered each other but no fight broke out, those wolf beastmen would never be so stupid as to escape from one group of stray beasts and then immediately rush towards another group of stray beasts.

Isn't that because you think your life is too long?

This is impossible, Shi He changed his angle.

Are they together?

But how could tribal orcs be with stray beasts?

Unlike the boss Shi He, who had many thoughts, the lizard orcs under him had much less to think about. When he heard that the orcs coming were wolf orcs, he was excited and said, "If they are tribal orcs, will there be females?"

They are waiting for females.

"Really?" The lobster orc shook the tentacles on his head a few times, "I don't smell anything."

If those wolf beastmen were carrying females, they would have been able to smell it even if they were so close.

"Could it be the orcs clearing the way?" Giant Salamander guessed.

Females from large tribes pay more attention to safety when going out, and usually send someone to clear the way in advance.

On the way where the female is coming, males are arranged to stand at intervals. The purpose is not to prevent hidden risks, but to warn.

Tell the stray animals nearby that a female is about to pass by.

Most stray beasts will hide on their own when they see it, not because they can't beat them, but because the big tribe beats the small ones and then the old ones come, and the whole tribe can't beat them, so they can go to the beast city for reinforcements.

The reinforcements from Beast City have to pay an appearance fee. Small tribes cannot afford it, but the big tribes with foundation and savings don't care about that.

However, there are still disadvantages to doing this.

If you are unlucky and happen to encounter a stray animal that wants to rob a female, then this behavior is no different from putting up a sign that says "There is no silver here" so gradually, no tribe did this anymore.

After the giant salamander said this, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knew that this was impossible, as no tribe would send people to clear the way, but no one had the heart to dash the giant salamander's hopes.

What he wanted to do most in his life was to see Dahei being accepted by the tribe.

The giant salamander was born a stray animal, and he could not change that, but he wanted to return to the tribe with the black bear cub that he picked up and raised with his own hands.

But his words were heard by Shi He.

He combines existing information.

Snake orcs, wolf orcs, open the way, female...

If these two parties are really together, if they really brought a female with them.

Will the tribal orcs who are willing to travel with stray beasts be more accepting of Dahei?

Thinking of this, Shi He's eyes lit up, "Maybe this time, we will get what we want."
