Chapter 314 For the Tribe (15)
The other party has made a concession.
In reality, they had no choice at all.
Only Jingli knows how to use Qiankun, and only Jingli can communicate with these invaders.
Without Jingli, they could only accumulate experience time and time again to develop a plan to fight the invaders, but they couldn't afford to wait.
But Jingli took out things from the universe that they could use.
Just as the tribe gave him the long-tailed beast skin they had hunted in Jingli, this was an indication of cooperation.
The reason we didn't make it clear last time was because we both had too many secrets.
This time it's different.
Both sides need to extend olive branches, and the time has come to a critical juncture; both sides must provide more information.
We should be as honest with each other as possible while remaining wary of one another.
Of course, the northern tribes need to be more vigilant right now, because they really don't have any more trump cards left.
6058 has confirmed from the system's connection status that Zhi is not an intruder. The other party is most likely a native intelligent being, and less likely a native transmigrator.
Original transmigrators are not invaders. If we compare a world to a work of art, then these transmigrators are beings that are explicitly stated in the plot and allowed by the world.
Of course, Jingli still prefers to believe that they are the original beastmen.
Jingli would never underestimate the capabilities of a race that could drive the birth of civilization and maintain its daily life even during an invasion.
Jingli explained the function of the trapping formation to the two orcs in charge of guarding them. The orcs could see them, but the two prisoners were like being in a dark little box, with only enough space for them to move around.
By leaving them hanging like this, under their restraint and fear, the longer they are left hanging, the more information they can extract from them in the end.
Jingli should first communicate with Zhi and the others so that he can easily compare information later and obtain more useful information.
After doing all this, in less than a minute, Jingli quickened her pace and followed into Zhi's cave, where the other orcs were already waiting.
Getting straight to the point, Zhi readily shared the information they knew about the intruders, most of which was known to Jingli.

This is a vast forest where different creatures live together and thrive wildly.
Orcs living near the Tree of Life were the first to develop intelligence and were able to transform into humanoid forms that made it easier for them to use tools.
Creation began, and the beastmen began to develop their own intelligence and form their own races.
Some groups that are geographically close naturally form tribes through mutual assistance, while others, disliking each other, start fighting and also form their own tribes.
Thus, language began to take shape.
When the first tribe began exchanging goods with other tribes along their migration route, trade emerged, communication became essential, a common language began to take shape, records appeared, and civilization began to sprout.
Just then, a streak of fire pierced the sky.
The orcs initially thought it was divine punishment (lightning).
At this time, the beastmen felt awe but not excessive fear, because they knew that divine punishment would bring useful fire, which was of great use.
However, a small mushroom cloud exploded, filling the air with smoke.
During their escape, some of the orcs were captured, while others fought back and were killed.
The Tree of Life, which seemed enormous and magnificent to the orcs, was taken away by beings completely unlike them, leaving them to fend for themselves in its devastation.
These creatures are few in number and always appear suddenly, making them difficult to spot in the forest.
Their abilities are strange, which makes most of the orcs feel uneasy.
Leaving aside the incredibly fast small stones (bullets) that could pierce through orc flesh, they were able to conjure water, lightning, and other natural forces out of thin air. This led some orcs to suspect that they had done something wrong, attracting the messengers of the Tree of Life to eliminate them.
“Many small tribes have disappeared.” Zhi closed his eyes in anguish. “After some small tribes came to us, we tried to organize hunting parties and unite the tribes in our vicinity…”
Meng continued, "That's all that's left in the tribe now; there are also some who fled here from all directions."
The scene was shocking; that was truly rare.
The Cangbei tribe was able to exist because of its geographical advantages and the advantages of the Flying Tiger Clan; otherwise... Jingli wouldn't even dare to imagine it.
“There should be tribes as powerful as us in more distant places, but given the current situation, the hunting party dares not go too far.”
The Tree of Life needs protection, as do some of the smaller orcs within the tribe. Furthermore, the journey to find the orcs may be fraught with danger, making it easier to leverage home-field advantage when on one's own territory.
It seems that the orcs are indeed in a very passive situation.
"Did any of them disguise themselves as orcs to join you?" Jingli asked.
This was also mentioned in the conversation between Dian Gui and the others earlier.
The leader of another hunting party nodded: "The Fleece Rabbit Clan has encountered this before. An intruder disguised himself as a wounded person and sought help, but was discovered by the Tree of Life and cursed." He paused, then said dejectedly, "But before the curse was completed, that person slaughtered half of the Fleece Rabbit Clan and set fire to the area."
The golden tiger that had previously carried the animals in the scenic area added, "We've encountered one before, a female intruder who took our cubs."
After he finished speaking, the golden tiger's expression became very complicated.
There was sorrow, and there was anger.
Jingli initially thought the intruder was deceiving his cub, but after Zhi's explanation, Jingli realized that wasn't the case.
Orcs face great difficulties in reproduction; each cub represents the hope of the entire tribe.
Even in the event of conflict between tribes, the cubs will be protected.
But the intruders stole the cubs.
From then on, the children in the tribe never trusted anyone outside the tribe again.
No wonder I suddenly saw Jingli holding Yuanhui and launching an attack.
It's no wonder that after Yuan expressed intimacy, Zhi ultimately chose to test the waters.
At that time, they would certainly be on guard at all times.
But the goodwill they showed was genuine.
Because Keiri is suspected to be a sub-adult of the sea creatures, rather than an invader, and also because Keiri is trusted by the cubs nurtured by the Tree of Life.
Having experienced upheaval, the orcs still accept the changes to the greatest extent possible.
They are certainly not stupid.
A crucial premise for this acceptance is that Jingli is within the scope of their armed suppression.
This is their way of survival.
"Are the cubs taken away by the females because there are few females in the tribe?" Jingli asked.
The beastmen remained silent.
The scene was clear.
Tree of Life, female, offspring.
The invaders are trying to eliminate the orcs who originally existed in this world by severing their reproduction.
