Sea Tribe

Among all the tribes on the seashore, the Fish Tribe is the weakest. Therefore, the Fish Tribe is located very close to the seashore. The tribes slightly further away from the seashore are stronger than the Fish Tribe. The strongest tribe here, the Sea Tribe, is built in the mountains.

Because they were too close to the sea, the entire tribe was always terrified every time it rained or it rained, fearing that if the rain was too heavy or the waves were too strong, the tide would wash away their tribe.

However, because they were close to the sea, the Fish Tribe could see the orcs from the foreign tribes catching a lot of fish every time they went out to sea. They watched from afar and calculated that the fish caught by the foreign tribes in a day was enough for all the orcs in their Fish Tribe to eat for many days.

Although the foreign tribes had no shortage of meat, according to the observations of the orcs of the Fish Tribe, they had never seen the orcs of the foreign tribes go to the mountains to fetch stream water, but they did not seem to be short of water at all.

The priest of the Fish Tribe suspected that the water that this foreign tribe drank every time was sea water, and drinking this sea water for a long time would damage their bodies.

Other small tribes also realized that although the foreign tribe had enough food, they had no water.

The Sea Tribe controls the only source of drinkable stream water, and all the tribes along the coast have to get their drinking water from the Sea Tribe.

As the weather got hotter, the Sea Tribe began to control the number of times each tribe could carry stream water from the mountain. According to the tribe's ability, the Fish Tribe could only carry stream water once a day, and the amount could not exceed three stone pots.

The orcs of the Fish Tribe were extremely short of water and could not go fishing or hunting in the mountains. They were thirsty and hungry. It was not only the Fish Tribe, but also the other small tribes. They had at least one stone pot more water than the Fish Tribe, and at most three stone pots. Therefore, orcs from the small tribes would die of thirst and hunger every season.

When the foreign tribes told them that they could work with them and that they would be provided with food and shelter, the hungry tribes were tempted.

With meat from foreign tribes to eat and water from the sea tribe to drink, wouldn't they be able to save more orcs!

But no one expected that the Sea Tribe's priests would strongly oppose all tribes from contacting the foreign tribe. The Sea Tribe priests said that a group of people from the Sea Tribe had come before and offered a lot of benefits. They also said that they would select some people from the tribe to help them work, but these people never came back after they followed them.

He said that if any tribe dared to contact the outside tribe privately, that tribe would not be allowed to drink water from the stream.

It is undeniable that what the Sea Tribe priest said can be matched with the foreign tribes currently stationed on their coast. The only difference is that the team that went to the Sea Tribe to select orcs did not stay on the coast, but left with the selected orcs.

Even if what the Sea Tribe priest said was all lies, it was hot in summer and they could go without food but they could not go without water.

Therefore, all the tribes on the coast, despite the temptation of meat, still chose to listen to the sea tribe and not contact foreign tribes.

The situation in other tribes was better as they were not too close to the foreign tribe.

But the fish tribe was different. They could smell the aroma of meat coming from the foreign tribe every day. Especially Yubei, Yushan and Langhai, they had drunk fish soup given by the orcs from the foreign tribe. In this extremely hungry situation, the smell of meat was even more unbearable.

But their priest said that they had to endure it, otherwise the Sea Tribe would not even give them the water from the three stone pots.

In the past, they would have just endured it. They had no choice but to endure it. But this time was different. They had a choice. As long as they helped the foreign tribes to work, they could have enough to eat.

So what if there is no water to drink? The three stone pots of stream water that the Hai tribe gives every day, who can drink it in the summer?

You will die of hunger or thirst in the end anyway, so why not have a good meal before you die?

When the old men and children were on the verge of starvation and thirst, they secretly ran to a foreign tribe in the middle of the night.

The priest of the Fish Tribe looked at their slow and stumbling figures, and finally sighed and did not let the orc warriors catch up.

Shen Er was a bionic warrior and did not need sleep. When he heard the report from outside the door, he was lying upright on the bed, playing the system's built-in elimination game with his eyes closed.

"Captain, there are a few orcs from the Fish Tribe outside. They said they want to work with us in exchange for meat, but they are all elderly people and children."

Shen Er sat up, straightened his fish-skin clothes, and walked straight to the door, "Go and take a look."

The orc who reported the incident took Shen Er to a wooden house and said, "Captain, they are so hungry that they can't move, and their mouths are dry and chapped. After they finished talking, they didn't have the strength to stand."

The orc opened the door as he spoke, and inside were old people and children lying on the ground. Shen Er stared at the skinny and naked orc on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "Give them some fish soup first."

"Yes, Captain."

After a bowl of white and delicious fish soup, the old man and the children felt like they were alive again. It was so delicious, no wonder the fragrance could be smelled in the fish tribe.

Shen Er waited calmly until the orcs from the Fish Tribe licked the pottery bowls clean before saying, "Working here will get you three meals a day and accommodation, but the only requirement is that you be clean, diligent, and honest."

After all, the old people and children are not strong enough to go out to sea. They can only work in the seafood drying team, and their task is to clean the seafood and dry it.

Shen Er explained the rules one by one, emphasizing that one should take a bath and wash up every day. When handling seafood, one should wear fish skin clothes and wash hands frequently.

When we were talking about working honestly and not stealing, an urgent voice came from outside, "Captain, there is an orc from the Fish Tribe asking for help."

The old people and children from the fish tribe in the house got up directly from the ground. They wanted to go out to see, but they didn't dare to move. It was not until Shen Er stood up and walked out that they dared to follow carefully behind him.

The orcs who escaped from the Fish Tribe had their hair mostly burned by the fire, and their faces were all black and gray, so it was impossible to see their faces clearly. Shen Er stood at the door and asked, "What happened to your tribe?"

The orc from the Fish Tribe looked dazed, but he calmed down a lot after being asked this question. "The Sea Tribe attacked our tribe." He clenched his fists, trying to stop his hands from shaking so much, and told the whole story from beginning to end.

Actually, the whole incident was caused by the elderly and children who were so hungry that they came here to work.

The priest of the Fish Tribe did not let the orc warriors chase the old man and children who had escaped, because he knew that with the bodies of the old man and children, they would die if they did not drink sea water for a few days. It was better to work for the foreign tribe while they were still alive and eat before they died than to starve to death.

The old man and the children ran away in the dark, and the Hai tribe in the mountains doesn’t know about this yet.

But after daybreak, the Sea Tribe will definitely discover that their elders and children from the Fish Tribe are working in that foreign tribe.

The priest of the Fish Tribe racked his brains in the second half of the night, thinking about how to explain to the Sea Tribe that their Fish Tribe had no contact with foreign tribes.

He thought that if he spoke nicely, the Sea Tribe would understand him.

After all, those who went there were old people and children who were about to die of starvation. Not a single orc warrior went. What could the old people and children do? What's more, they were about to die. It's better to say that they went there to be a burden than to work.

Who knew that the Sea Tribe didn't give him a chance to explain.

The night was silent, and screams were heard everywhere in the fish tribe.

The priest of the Fish Tribe heard the noise and ran out of the cave. He saw raging fires everywhere he looked.

The orcs who set the fire did not leave. They stood in the sea of ​​fire and warned from above, "This is the price the Fish Tribe pays for not listening to our Sea Tribe."

cost?

The priest of the Fish Tribe repeated these two words softly. Only then did he realize that the Sea Tribe had been sending orcs to secretly monitor their tribe. In other words, to monitor all the small tribes.

Because the Hai tribe simply did not believe that these small tribes would really be obedient and not go to other tribes to work in exchange for meat.

The fire in the Fish Tribe must have been prepared for a long time.

The Sea Tribe, hiding in the dark, was just waiting to see the first tribe among their small tribes to show unusual movements.

Whichever tribe makes the first move will be burned by the fire.

The priest of the Fish Tribe sat down on the ground dejectedly. Water could not put out such a fire. He could never have imagined that the Sea Tribe would do such a drastic thing to intimidate other tribes.

What on earth was the Sea Tribe afraid of? Was it really like what the Sea Tribe priest said at the beginning, that they were afraid that the orcs from their small tribe would go there and never come back?

The priest of the Fish Tribe was in doubt. The screams of the tribe members and the rising temperature in the air made the priest of the Fish Tribe feel confused. He subconsciously grabbed a tribe member beside him and said, "Go ask for help, go to that foreign tribe and ask for help!"

Shen Er stood on the roof, looking at the fire and black smoke in the distance, and asked Shen Nong on the system chat platform if he needed help. After getting a positive answer, he jumped and was submerged in the mountains and forests.

——

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the sea waves beat against the rocks.

At this time, the tribe not far from the sea was ablaze with flames and the screams of orcs fleeing were endless.

In Yu Bei's arms, one on each side, were two babies who had just been rescued from the cave. The children's faces were covered in black ash and they were no longer crying.

She didn't know if the two babies she was carrying were still alive, and she couldn't confirm it. Yu Bei looked at the tribe engulfed in flames, and she glared at the front, "You actually set fire to my tribe!"

The orcs blocking the Fish Tribe responded fiercely: "Who told you to be disobedient! The priests have told you not to have any contact with those foreign tribes, but you secretly interacted with them without the priests' knowledge."

Yu Bei snorted coldly. If it had been in the past, she would definitely not dare to speak like this to the orcs of the big tribe. "He is the priest of your tribe. Why should we listen to him? He doesn't allow us to contact those foreign tribes, so does he provide food and drink for our Yu tribe?"

"Why should we priests provide you with food and drink?" the orc opposite retorted angrily.

Yu Bei could no longer bear it and roared: "I want to ask the same thing! What right do you have to restrict us from trading with foreign tribes?"

The flames behind them were rolling, and the orcs of the Fish Tribe were staring at the orcs who burned their tribe. They had listened to the words of the Sea Tribe before, and did not dare to go to other tribes to trade meat to fill their stomachs.

As a result, the tribe was completely burned down.

The orc from the Sea Tribe who set the fire was angered by Yubei's eyes. He roared and was about to transform and pounce on him to bite him.

Yubei's beast form was useless on the ground, so she could only hold the two babies and dodge around. When she was exhausted, Yubei heard a shout, and Langhai rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, "Yubei, come up!"

Sea tribe.

Two people stood halfway up the mountain. On the muscular man's face, a scar ran diagonally from his forehead to his chin. "Priest, the fish tribe has caught fire. Now we don't have to worry about those small tribes going to work for that foreign tribe."

The skinny young priest looked indifferently in the direction of the Fish Tribe, "It's not enough. While those small tribes haven't reacted yet, send more orcs over to pretend to put out the fire. If you find any survivors from the Fish Tribe, kill them directly. Remember, don't let any survivors from the Fish Tribe. Then tell those small tribes that the foreign tribe destroyed the Fish Tribe. Only when the foreign tribe is completely driven out can we be completely relieved."

"Priest, be sane! I'll do it right away."

Sha Hai turned around and prepared to go back to the tribe to call people. When passing by a tree, he felt a breeze blowing behind him. Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and fainted on the ground.

Shen Er ignored him for the time being and walked forward. The young priest didn't notice anything wrong at all and continued to admire the fire below the mountain with his hands behind his back.

When he was knocked unconscious by Shen Er's knife, he still had a smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

On the way back, Shen Er carried the unconscious Sha Hai and ran towards the dormitory built by the Mu tribe on the beach. On the way, he did not forget to leave a message on the system chat platform, [Priest, the person has been caught.]
