Chapter 299 Snatching a Spot
When the news of the chief's upcoming trip spread like wildfire throughout the tribe, the beastmen instantly erupted in excitement. They rubbed their hands together, filled with anticipation and longing for the journey, eager to follow their chief on the unknown adventure.
This is because, according to the long-held tradition of the tribe, if one is fortunate enough to encounter the chief traveling, one should try every means to follow closely behind.
After all, for the beastmen living on this land, going out not only means broadening their horizons and increasing their knowledge, but more importantly, only by stepping out of their familiar environment can they achieve great feats and make significant contributions to their tribe.
And once you achieve something, why worry about not gaining the leader's appreciation and reward?
This has led to a heated debate within the tribe over who should accompany the chief on his travels.
Everyone held their own opinion and refused to give in, each hoping to be the lucky one.
However, amidst this noisy argument, Yong and Yu simply stood quietly to the side, silently observing everything before them, without participating in the discussion.
In terms of the degree of inner resentment, probably no one is more intense than the two of them.
It should be noted that Yong and Yu's combat skills are quite outstanding in the tribe, but unfortunately, they have been assigned to stay behind to guard the tribe.
Although their footprints were left in almost every corner of this vast plain, Yong and Yu couldn't help but feel envious whenever they thought about how their companions who went out with the leader were able to experience unique scenery and encounter all sorts of novel and interesting things.
Those unique experiences are perhaps a precious treasure that many ordinary orcs will never have the chance to see in their entire lives.
Seeing everyone arguing endlessly, Zhi finally spoke up, which was quite rare for him.
"Sen, Yu, Yong, and Daman, the four of you will select members of your tribe to accompany the chief on his travels. Remember, one must be physically strong, and the other should have special abilities."
Sen was the first to step forward. He glanced at the tribesmen around him and said, "This time, the chief is going to take twenty orcs with him. We plan to select these twenty from among those with various special abilities."
Yu then spoke up: "Now, fire, ice, earth, wind, and strength-type orcs of the clan, step forward!"
As soon as Yu finished speaking, the beastmen in the valley automatically split into two lines.
One row consists of the superpowered individuals Yu mentioned, and the rest are orcs without superpowers.
After seeing this, Yong added, "The reason we chose the ability users this time is because the chief has no experience going out for the first time. In order to minimize the damage, we prioritized the ability users. Once they get used to going out a few times, the orcs in the tribe will take turns going out, so everyone should not have any other thoughts."
Everyone nodded in agreement, especially the orcs who had no special abilities, whose eyes showed delight.
They knew that when facing danger, the mutant beastmen were definitely stronger than ordinary beastmen, and since their leader was going out, it would be safer to take the mutant beastmen with him.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhi signaled to Yong and the others to start selecting people.
Since they are all from the same tribe, everyone has a certain understanding of each other's skill levels.
Since there are five superpowers, each superpower can take two orcs with it.
So they chose the best candidate from among these people with superpowers.
Since the Eastern Tribe is a mixed tribe, and most of its members are wolf-beastmen, this expedition will primarily consist of wolf-beastmen.
For the ice element, they chose Ning and Guang, both of whom are gray wolves.
The wind element chose Wild and Long, one black wolf and one gray wolf.
The fire element chose Flame and Light, both of which are gray wolves.
The Earth element chose Earth and Distance, one a pangolin and the other a groundhog.
For the power type, they chose Meng and Bati, one a black bear and the other an elephant.
Seeing that the candidates had been chosen, he nodded and said, "Now that the candidates have been decided, you few should prepare well. The rest of you should not be discouraged, as protecting the tribe is equally important."
Yong and Yu exchanged a glance. Although they were still unwilling, they had no choice but to accept it and resolved to guard the tribe tightly so that the chief would have no worries.
