Chapter 317 The Difficult Choice of the Otter Tribe
In the wide bay, ten large ships docked one after another, and wooden planks were set up between the sides of the ships and the river bank.
The Vine Tribe warriors on the big ship disembarked one by one, and then gathered on the shore.
The Otter tribe has seen this kind of situation before, so those tribesmen are relatively calm.
When Nepeta got off the boat, Lu Zhu, the leader of the Otter tribe, immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Chief Nepeta, there are so many of you, which tribe are you going to do business with?"
Jingjie said: "We won't make a deal this time, the leader will let us do something."
"No deal?"
Lu Zhu was stunned. The number of people today was much higher than usual. If they didn't make a deal, what would they do?
Could it be that... you are going to attack a certain tribe?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhu's heart tightened, but looking at those wolf-like warriors of the Teng tribe, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Shashasha..."
At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps and voices coming from the forest to the left of the Otter tribe, and the movement was very loud.
Lu Zhu immediately shouted to the two Otter tribe warriors next to him: "Go and see what's going on over there..."
"Yes!"
The otter tribe warrior immediately ran over there. However, not long after they ran, a wild bird carrying a man on its back emerged from the dense forest.
"Gah!"
Soon, the second raptor, the third raptor, the fourth raptor...
In a moment, hundreds of ferocious birds carrying people on their backs emerged one after another. Their huge size, swift movements, and fierce appearance scared the nearby giant otters and otter tribe warriors into retreating.
"Da da da..."
After the raptors appeared, countless blue sheep and elk deer appeared soon after, all carrying warriors from the Vine tribe on their backs.
"The hunting team of the Vine Tribe!"
After Lu Zhu saw this scene, his child's hole shrank sharply, and fear arose in his heart.
Because the Vine tribe's fleet, together with the fishing team and the hunting team, has gathered more than 4,000 warriors. At a glance, it is like a sea of people, and any charge can wipe out the Otter tribe.
"Oh my God, what do the Vine Tribe want to do? Are they targeting our Otter Tribe..."
In the underground cave, the Otter tribe shaman knelt on the ground tremblingly. The fire pit in front of him was clearly burning, but he felt cold all over.
If the Vine Tribe really came for them, the Otter Tribe would have no room for resistance, and even the Otter God wouldn't be able to protect them.
Because the vine tribe is too powerful, and that divine vine is too terrifying.
On the ground, Jing Jie saw Shi Loach coming with the second hunting team. He immediately laughed and walked over, and brought Shi Loach to Lu Zhu, the leader of the Rex tribe, arm in arm.
"Huan... welcome the leader of Stone Loach to... to our Otter tribe..."
Lu Zhu forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, obviously extremely reluctant, but still said welcome.
Shi Loach has a cold temperament and is usually unsmiling.
He said to Lu Zhu expressionlessly: "Chief Lu Zhu, Chief Xuan sent us to build a dock here for the fleet's ships to berth and rest and replenish supplies. Do you, the Otter tribe... have any objections?"
Lu Zhu had opinions, and he had big opinions, but facing more than 4,000 Teng tribe warriors who looked like wolves and tigers, even if he had opinions, he did not dare to say them.
Lu Zhu said bravely: "This... I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to discuss it with a witch..."
"Then let's discuss it, we'll be here waiting for your reply."
"Okay...Okay..."
Lu Zhu had no choice but to jump into the water, and then went to the underground cave through the underwater passage and found the Otter tribe shaman.
After finding the witch, Lu Zhu told the witch the above situation, including the requirements of the Teng tribe.
After Wu heard this, he said angrily: "They are trying to occupy our territory. Isn't this robbery by Chi Guoguo?"
"Witch, what should we do now? If we don't agree, the people of the Vine Tribe may not give up."
The Otter tribe shaman looked at the dancing flames in the fire pit. He was determined to fight with the Vine tribe, but he knew that the strength of the Otter tribe could not be compared with that of the Vine tribe.
In the end, he could only say feebly: "Let me ask the Otter God."
The otter tribe shaman closed his eyes and used the special connection between the shaman and the totem god to start communicating with the otter god hidden deep in the cave.
After a while, the Otter tribe shaman opened his eyes, but his face became even more ugly.
Lu Zhu asked anxiously: "What did the Rex God say?"
The shaman of the Otter tribe opened and closed his mouth. It took a long time before he said with difficulty: "Otter God said that if you don't want the tribe to be destroyed, it's best to help them build it."
"Help...help them build it?"
Lu Zhu never expected to get such an answer. After all, it was already unacceptable for the Teng tribe to build a dock in front of their home, let alone help them build a dock.
However, he is not a stupid person. After the shock, he thought about it carefully and realized that the method mentioned by the Otter God was actually the best method.
Although the sacrifice is a bit larger, helping the Teng tribe build a dock will bring them some goodwill, and only in this way can the Otter tribe be preserved.
At this moment, the otter tribe seemed to hear the call of the otter god and closed its eyes again.
When he opened his eyes again, his old face was full of disbelief, and his eyes revealed deep sadness.
Lu Zhu asked cautiously: "Witch, what other instructions does the Otter God have?"
This time, the shaman of the Otter tribe lowered his head and remained silent for a longer time. It was only when Lu Zhu thought that he would not say anything and was about to turn around and leave that the shaman of the Otter tribe slowly raised his head.
He said extremely tiredly: "Otter God said... let us prepare to become a subsidiary tribe of the Vine Tribe."
This sentence seemed to drain all the strength from the Otter tribe shaman. After he finished speaking, he weakly waved his hand and asked Lu Zhu to leave.
Lu Zhu's face was full of shock and unwillingness, but deep down in his heart, there was a sense of relief, because he had long been aware of this result deep in his heart.
The Vine tribe has more and more ships and its power is getting stronger. Only by accepting the Otter tribe as a subordinate tribe and becoming one of its own can they truly feel at ease.
Lu Zhu bowed respectfully to the witch, then turned around and left the underground cave, returning to the surface through the underwater passage.
Nepeta and Stone Loach are still waiting in place, but more than 4,000 warriors from the Teng tribe have already begun to enter the nearby forest to cut trees.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Lu Zhu's mouth. The Teng tribe had already made up its mind. Whether the Otter tribe agreed or disagreed would not change anything.
He took a deep breath, walked up to Jie Jie and Shi Loach, and said, "Wu agreed, you can build a dock here."
Shi Loach nodded, not surprised at all by this result.
"In addition," Lu Zhu continued: "Our Otter tribe is familiar with the underwater conditions here. I can ask the tribe members and the big otters to help you."
Hearing these words, Nepeta and Stone Loach were a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that the Otter tribe was showing kindness to the Vine tribe, so they readily agreed.
Soon, the construction of Dahewan where the Otter Tribe is located began in full swing. With the help of the Otter Tribe, the Teng Tribe knew very well where underwater was more suitable for piling and where the water was deeper.
With the efforts of thousands of people, the prototype of a large ship terminal soon appeared.
The construction of this dock also marked the official departure of the Teng tribe from the northern part of the Southern Wilderness, heading down the river towards the rich and flat central part.
