“You can earn faith value in this way?”
On top of the mountain.
Feeling the surge of faith value from Old man Lin and the others, Jiang Hui was puzzled.
He could not recall doing anything special.
However, adhering to the principle that anything received for free is always the best, Jiang Hui shrugged off the need to understand why.
As for the arrival of these refugees, he had known it way long ago, but considering their helpless state, he did not bother informing Old man Lin.
“But no matter how you look at it, these refugees are potential followers on the move. It would be good to give Old man Lin a dream, urging him to retain as many as possible,” Jiang Hui thought.
The importance of followers was self-evident. The more followers he had, the faster his experience points would grow.
Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, Old man Lin had already led the original inhabitants of the Native Tribe into Liu Village.
Liu Village’s actual inhabitable area wasn’t particularly large, given that there were only eight people residing there. And so, as soon as the refugees from the Native Tribe stepped into Liu Village, several majestic marble structures caught their eyes instantly.
Each of these structures was impeccably square and flawlessly built; they appeared to be crafted masterpieces, causing the Native Tribe folks to gasp in admiration.
“Brother, what’s that?”
The sight of a gigantic skeleton caught the Clan Leader of the Native Tribe off guard.
His eyes widened; it seemed he had discovered something extraordinary as his body involuntarily trembled slightly.
“Ah, that one. It’s just a ferocious beast that my eldest and second son casually killed a while ago. We intended to dispose it after consuming its meat, but I guess we forgot about it over time,” Old man Lin introduced casually, seeming incredibly nonchalant.
Forgot to throw it away? Who would believe that? Who could believe it?
This huge beast was placed along the footpath; even a blind person could notice it! It was not a matter of forgetting to throw it away, it was clearly meant for showing off.
However, despite what they thought, the Native Tribe all forced smiles onto their faces.
In the end, wasn’t this a display of strength too? If only they had such power, their tribe would never fall to such depths!
This thought left a bitter taste in the Clan Leader of the Native Tribe’s mouth.
Moreover, he grew increasingly curious about Liu Village. He remembered visiting the area in his younger days, but he could never recall a village there!
Besides the few men leading the way, he had not seen another soul on the way.
“Brother, why is the village so… sparsely populated?” After hesitating for a moment, the Clan Leader of the Native Tribe could not help but ask.
Usually, a tribe would have more than a hundred people, a village by right should have more.
“Ah, well, there are only ten people in Liu Village, including myself. Apart from the one who is my spouse, the rest are my children. There haven’t been any outsiders, so naturally, it may seem a bit desolate,” Old man Lin explained- the news hit the Native Tribe people like a bolt from the blue.
They dared to establish a village with only ten people?!
This was child’s play!
But then…
The sight of the Ferocious Beast’s carcass on the roadside made everything reasonable all of a sudden.
The villagers here were just too powerful! They dared to hunt Ferocious Beasts as food!
These thoughts left the Clan Leader of the Native Tribe feeling quite bitter.
Apart from the Head of Liu Village and his spouse, Liu Village was made up of merely eight people, two of them could slay Ferocious Beast and feast on its meat; this made him feel inferior by comparison.
Given that their tribe, with over a hundred and eighty people, was considered quite sizable around these parts and even boasted many talented young men, none could match the level of the sons of Liu Village’s Clan Leader.
Why couldn’t such capable men be part of his tribe?
With a sigh, the Clan Leader of the Native Tribe decided to stop probing; he already felt the impact, it was a lot to process.
Night fell casting a hazy shade upon the land.
Liu Village was quiet.
In a makeshift wooden house.
The strongest man of the Native Tribe sought out the old man.
He was in his thirties and wielded an iron axe. His physique was much inferior to Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen, but within the Native Tribe, he was deemed exceptional.
The Clan Leader of the Native Tribe had high hopes for him, but after comparing him with the other two, he felt their strongest man seemed too weak.
“Clan Leader, I am here to represent everyone and discuss some matters with you,” the man said hesitantly after a while.
“Cough, there’s no need for you to speak, I already know what you want to say!” The Clan Leader of the Native Tribe waved off and, after emptying his steaming bowl of beast meat soup, he spoke.
“Clan Leader, you…you know?” the man stammered.
“Even though my ears aren’t that sharp, I’m not stupid. You all want to stay here from now on,” the Native Tribe Clan Leader sighed deeply. “I’ve been considering this issue even without your input.”
“While Liu Village may be remote and sparsely populated, its inhabitants are extraordinarily strong. They hunt ferocious beasts, and it even seems the Deity of Worship protects the place. It’s reasonable and just for us to try to join them.”
While speaking, the elderly Clan Leader’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
He didn’t care much for power. Even if he lost his leadership position after they joined Liu Village, he would feel content if he could provide his people with a better place to live in his lifetime.
The simplest and most straightforward way to survive in the Wilderness was to join a powerful force.
“Okay, let’s do this. I’m going to speak with the Clan Leader of Liu Village, see if they’re willing to take us in,” the Native Tribe Clan Leader stood up assertively after slamming on the table.
“Old Clan Leader, I’ll accompany you,” the man started assisting quickly.
After many turns, they quickly arrived at the doorstep of Old man Lin’s house.
Old man Lin wasn’t surprised by their purpose of visit, and without beating around the bush, he immediately agreed.
The development of Liu Village would take efforts from numerous people, and more importantly, lots of talented people; just relying on his own family was far from enough. Therefore, he was more than happy to see new people willing to join.
Especially since Lord Willow God had discreetly reminded him beforehand.
“In that case, we, the old ones, are ever so grateful to you, Clan Leader,” The old Clan Leader and the strongest man of their tribe both looked excited. They could hardly believe matters had proceeded this smoothly.
“No need for thanks. But I must remind you, if you want to join Liu Village, you must forget everything from your Native Tribe days.
Here, everything is arranged by Lord Willow God. We should hold Lord Willow God in the highest regard!” Old man Lin waved and spoke seriously..
