Chapter 209 Joining
After a brief pause, Rin continued her story: "When Dong and I—my companion—embarked on our journey to find a new home, fate seemed to turn against us. Not long after, Dong suddenly fell seriously ill, and his health deteriorated rapidly. But being in the middle of nowhere, we couldn't find any medicinal herbs to cure him, and I could only watch him die. In the end, I buried him myself beneath that cold, snowy mountain... Since then, I've wandered alone, aimlessly going wherever the wind takes me."
A year has passed, but Rin still feels sad whenever she thinks of her friends.
He encountered many tribes during that year, but they all left him with a very bad impression.
Just when he was feeling disheartened, he unexpectedly arrived here.
This place was completely different from the tribes he had seen before. Instead of driving him away, they gave him the best medicine to treat his wounds.
They seemed to see his exhaustion and sadness and warmly invited him to stay.
Here, he felt a long-lost warmth.
The corner of Rin's heart that had been frozen by the departure of winter was gradually melted by the warmth of the Eastern tribe.
He decided to settle down here and start his life anew.
Although the pain of losing a partner still lingers in my heart, it is no longer as heavy as before.
He knew that if Dong Ruo were alive, she would want him to live a good life.
Now, he wants to carry the expectations of winter and live a good life on this land full of hope.
Yong and the others sympathized with Rin's plight. Since the chief had already spoken, they could take him back to the tribe.
"Rin, now please swear in the supreme name of the Beast God that every word you are about to say will be the absolute truth, and you must solemnly swear that you are willing from the bottom of your heart to become a part of our Eastern tribe."
Yong's eyes were sharp, his expression solemn and dignified as he stared intently at Lin, not missing a single subtle change in his expression.
Rin took a deep breath, straightened her body, and looked at the sky with a firm gaze, as if she could see through the clouds the mysterious and unpredictable Beast God who ruled the entire Beastman world.
He raised his right hand and proclaimed, “I solemnly swear to the great Beast God that everything I have said is the truth, without a single falsehood. If there is any lie, I am willing to suffer the most severe punishment from the Beast God! Since I decided to join the tribe today, I am now a member of the tribe, and for the rest of my life, I will be forever loyal to the tribe and to my respected chief!”
When Rin made this vow, which was as heavy as Mount Tai, everyone present felt a solemn and dignified atmosphere enveloping them.
For on this vast and boundless continent of beastmen, swearing an oath in the name of the Beast God is the most sacred and inviolable vow.
In the beliefs of the beastmen, the beast god can both grant them endless protection and blessings, and also inflict merciless punishment on those who betray their faith.
After Rin completed this solemn oath-taking ceremony, everyone nodded in approval.
They then led the new member toward a cave deep in the valley.
Along the way, Rin felt both excited and nervous. He would occasionally steal glances at his companions walking ahead, secretly wondering what life in this tribe would be like in the future.
Finally, the group arrived at the entrance of the huge cave.
As soon as she stepped into the cave, Rin, who had been pretending to be calm, instantly became like a bewildered child, at a loss for what to do.
He unconsciously quickened his pace, following closely behind Yong, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.
It was only then that Rin truly realized that she had joined not just an ordinary tribe with great strength, but an existence beyond imagination.
Every member of the tribe here seems different; they exude an awe-inspiring aura.
Although he had some expectations, he was still deeply shocked when he actually saw the scene inside the cave.
The scene before him far exceeded his expectations, so much so that he stood there dumbfounded, his mouth slightly agape, unable to close it for a long time.
Those around him noticed his dumbfounded and astonished expression and burst into laughter.
Laughter rose and fell, echoing through the cave like a joyful wave.
"Rin, from now on, we're partners in the same tribe! Haha, there are many more amazing things waiting for you in the future!"
Ye, who was standing to the side, walked over with a big smile, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at him with kindness and expectation.
"That's right! Brother Lin, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Our tribe, and I'm not bragging, is unmatched by any other tribe around us!"
The burly Grey Wolf Mist also stepped forward, adding with a proud expression.
