Chapter 562, Short Houses

Translator: Silavin

 

Yan Hua and her companion had been complaining the entire time while on the sled, thinking about completing the mission quickly on one hand, while wondering what food would be available when they returned to the Tribe on the other.

 

Since Su Bai would have fresh delicacies appearing every few days, they were now looking forward to what new food might appear in the Tribe.

 

It was not only the prepared delicacies, but even the planted food was extremely diverse.

 

Previously there had been tomatoes, grapes, radishes and cabbage, and some time ago another type of fruit had appeared, which seemed to be called oranges or something of that sort.

 

In any case, surprises would often appear, and these surprises were exceptionally good, as all those previous surprises were all extremely delicious.

 

Moreover, many different things could be made from them, such as grape wine, wheat wine and vinegar.

 

What surprised them most was that perfume could be made. Now, they could have the scent of roses remain on their body, which was astounding.

 

“Our next Tribe seems to be the Grey Rabbit Tribe. I heard that Tribe’s houses are very different.” Yan Hua suddenly said.

 

This was what Yan Hua had heard the Green Vine Tribe people say while resting on the sled.

 

From the very beginning of their departure, the Green Vine Tribe people had not mentioned what their next destination would be.

 

It seemed as though they were worried that revealing it would allow the Flame Dragon Tribe to take advantage of them somehow, so they merely said to follow their guidance and go with them, without giving any name for the destination.

 

Just during one of their recent resting sessions, He Chuan had passed food to the Green Vine Tribe people. Perhaps those people found the Flame Dragon Tribe’s food too delicious, so they revealed the name of the destination.

 

Actually, Yan Huas did not understand why this was necessary either, since they would obviously know the name once they reached the Grey Rabbit Tribe, yet they insisted on being mysterious.

 

“They sure act so mysterious. Well, we’ll get to the Tribe soon and have a look, then we’ll know how different their houses are,” Sha Lan said.

 

Sha Lan was initially rather curious about what that Tribe would actually be like, since she had heard that Tribe was different from many other Tribes.

 

“We’ll arrive soon,” Yan Hua said indifferently.

 

*Woof woof woof…*

*Creak creak…*

 

The three sleds continued running across the wide river surface, and the six sled dogs were running at quite a fast speed.

 

More than two hours later, everyone arrived at the great river in front of the Grey Rabbit Tribe, and they pulled the sleds up onto the riverbank.

 

After all, there was no need to continue forward now, and if they left those sled dogs on the ice, they would certainly keep pulling those things and running non-stop.

 

After everyone had secured the sleds, they walked towards the direction of the Grey Rabbit Tribe. This Tribe was located close to the interior of the forest.

 

That was to say, there was still some distance from the riverbank, so both the Flame Dragon Tribe and Green Vine Tribe people had to cross the snowy ground to get there.

 

“The snow here is too thick. It reaches up to my knees.” Yan Hua said, looking down.

 

Yan Hua’s entire foot and half her leg had sunk into the snow, making each step very difficult.

 

Moreover, she was not only carrying the weight of her own body, but she was also holding various weapons and food, so naturally her forward progress was slow.

 

“If only they would clear away some of the snow, then walking would be much more convenient,” Sha Lan muttered.

 

Sha Lan began missing the Flame Dragon Tribe once again, since all the snow preventing paths had been swept completely clean, making walking completely effortless, which saves them a great deal of time.

 

“But it wouldn’t be useful for them even if they swept it away, since their Tribe is very far from the great river. If they don’t go to the great river, sweeping it away would be a waste of time, let alone now when the great river is frozen.” Yan Hua said.

 

Although Yan Hua also wanted them to sweep all the snow away, clearing it would serve no purpose for them.

 

Everyone spent two hours before reaching the entrance of the Grey Rabbit Tribe. The journey had been quite arduous.

 

There was thick snow everywhere, and no one knew what stepping forward would be like, so each step had to be taken with care.

 

“This is the Grey Rabbit Tribe, the Tribe closest to us. Their Tribe is a Large Tribe with several tens of thousands of people inside. After entering the Tribe, you cannot wander about randomly, otherwise you might easily get lost, or even be arrested as intruders. If that happens, I won’t be able to save you then.”

 

Ma Ni’s expression was very serious as he continued his warning. “Because the Grey Rabbit Tribe is Large, they are rather proud by nature. You absolutely must not offend them.”

 

Ma Ni was the person sent out by the Green Vine Tribe, a Totem Warrior whose status within the Tribe was quite high. Moreover, all the Major Tribes recognised him, which was why Shaman Lu had him lead the Flame Dragon Tribe people to the other Tribes.

 

“Yes, I’ve often heard Grandfather mention this as well. You should stand behind us later,” Ah Liv also nodded repeatedly.

 

The young girl had also wanted to go out, so she had come along with Sha Lan and Yan Hua, which also gave face to the other Tribes. After all, the Granddaughter of the Green Vine Tribe’s Shaman had come in person.

 

“En, we’ll leave everything to you. We’ll just be responsible for speaking of the Flame Dragon Tribe’s advantages to them.” Yan Hua said.

 

“Sure.” Ah Liv nodded with satisfaction. She had originally thought the other party might be unwilling, since the Flame Dragon Tribe was such a good Tribe that being arrogant would be perfectly normal for them.

 

So, she had not expected them to be so humble.

 

*Step step step*

 

Everyone walked slowly towards the Grey Rabbit Tribe. Naturally there were Totem Warriors patrolling and standing guard at the Tribe’s entrance.

 

They saw the approaching people, and although many were people they could not recognise, the few people at the front were clearly from the Green Vine Tribe.

 

The Green Vine Tribe people conversed briefly with the Grey Rabbit Tribe people, after which everyone entered the Tribe.

 

As soon as Yan Hua entered, she quickly scanned the surrounding area and discovered that this place was indeed different from other Tribes.

 

The wooden houses of the Grey Rabbit Tribe were extremely short, with heights equivalent to that of adults, but they were exceptionally wide, approximately twice the width of wooden houses in other Tribes.

 

Moreover, looking around, no Teepees could be seen, which meant this Tribe had existed for quite a long time, having replaced all Teepees with wooden houses.

 

Although these houses were strange, there were also not many people going about the Grey Rabbit Tribe, possibly due to the snow having buried a considerable portion of the houses.

 

Since the wooden houses were relatively short, the height of the accumulated snow was particularly obvious, directly blocking the doorways, making opening doors extremely difficult. This was probably why those people did not want to venture outside.
