Not only were the people attracted by such a commotion, but also the Deer Lord, watching the little rapeseed in the field and drooling.
This guy loved to join in on the fun.
He quickly trotted over after stretching his neck and taking advantage of his position to watch for a while.
He pushed through the crowd surrounding the scene and joined in the beating of the Cao Geng.
Seeing him come over, two dogs immediately moved aside, leaving Cao Geng's rear exposed to the Deer Lord.
The Deer Lord was not polite; he lowered his head and charged at Cao Geng's backside with his branching antlers.
He developed this habit of attacking the rear end while practicing with the dogs, and many wolves have suffered from this move.
The Cao Geng's cries became much more desperate than before.
The Eldest Senior Brother and a few others, who had rushed over to chase away the dogs, also paused and stood to the side to observe.
The Cao Geng was simply pinned to the ground, unable to escape, while the actual assailant was the grazing deer.
The deer’s attacks did not seem lethal, so they did not immediately intervene to drive them away.
Han Cheng also arrived, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
“Stop! Cease your horns!”
Han Cheng shouted to put a stop to it.
Once this true boss spoke up, the dogs immediately stood up and stepped aside, while the rather arrogant Deer Lord took the opportunity to give the frightened Cao Geng one last jab before stopping.
He then snorted at Han Cheng as a greeting, flicked his tail, and turned to leave.
There was no sense of guilt typical of an attacker.
The dogs exchanged glances with Han Cheng, and without much hesitation, they followed the Deer Lord, along with their pack of descendants.
They were well aware of the principle of hitting and running.
The dogs' differing attitudes towards Han Cheng made it clear why they followed the leadership of the Deer Lord.
These guys were bound to become clever someday!
Han Cheng thought to himself as he began to check on Cao Geng, who was still in shock and covering his backside.
He found no signs of wolf bites on him; the most damage seemed to come from the sneaky attacks of the Deer Lord.
After realizing this, Han Cheng felt a lot better. If the dogs had been biting people indiscriminately, he would have to train them properly.
After considering this, he was again filled with doubt because the dogs had never actively attacked anyone in the tribe before; today’s behavior was indeed unusual.
Han Cheng asked Cao Geng with a crooked nose.
There was no need to worry about Cao Geng not understanding, as the overly servile Tu Mao had already started translating nearby.
The Cao Geng dared not conceal anything and recounted the earlier events, looking nervously at the Divine Child, fearing punishment.
After understanding the situation, Han Cheng almost couldn’t stop laughing.
If Cao Geng hadn’t mentioned it today, he wouldn’t have known these guys had committed such a shameless act.
This Cao Geng was also unfortunate, bullied by a pack of wolves and a deer.
The Deer Lord and his companions were unharmed and still had the upper hand, while the Cao Geng had done this a long time ago.
At that time, they had no idea that the Deer Lord and the others were raised by their tribe.
Thus, Han Cheng did not punish Cao Geng for this incident.
However, the vengeful dogs and the evil deer were not so generous. In the following days, they frequently pounced upon the Cao Geng.
They would bolt away whenever they saw someone approaching, leaving the Cao Geng feeling traumatized.
It wasn't until Han Cheng couldn't stand it any longer and kicked a few of them in the rear that Cao Geng's nightmare finally came to an end...
On the third day, after Eldest Senior Brother and the others returned with the captives from the Flying Snake tribe's stronghold, the leader of the sheep tribe came with a portion of his people.
Around this time every year, they would make such a trip.
They carried some sheepskins and a few dead sheep, bringing a bountiful offering.
These items were used to trade for salt with the Green Sparrow tribe.
As for pottery, after several years of trading, their tribe no longer lacked it.
The members of the sheep tribe, having just experienced a bountiful harvest, were in high spirits. With a strong sense of confidence, feeling that "the tribe has sheep, so there's no need to panic," they made their way to the Green Sparrow tribe.
However, they were left stunned upon seeing the scene at the Green Sparrow tribe.
These numerous individuals were scattered inside and outside the Green Sparrow tribe, busy with tasks.
When they last visited, this tribe's population was nowhere near this large, but now, its numbers have suddenly increased so much!
Had they attacked other tribes? Had this neighboring tribe become an evil one?
This was the first thought that struck the leader of the sheep tribe after the shock.
The emergence of this thought made him feel an impulse to flee immediately and distance himself from this tribe.
Because if this tribe had become an evil one, as their neighboring tribe, his tribe would surely suffer the consequences.
The leader's anxiety eased somewhat only after seeing the still warm and friendly expressions of the Divine Child and the other leader.
After a simple greeting, the leader of the sheep tribe immediately began to inquire about what had happened in the Green Sparrow tribe and why their population had increased so drastically.
Under the astonished gaze of the sheep tribe leader, the original leader of the donkey tribe, Mao, appeared before him. He expressed his grievances with tears and wild gestures, recounting the misfortunes of their tribe and the kindness and strength of the Green Sparrow tribe.
The leader of the sheep tribe was once again dumbfounded, to the point where he didn't even notice the snot that the donkey tribe leader had flung onto him.
He never expected that there would be such a powerful and evil tribe around theirs.
If they had found the sheep tribe instead of the donkey tribe, then the people of his tribe would likely...
Fortunately, this strong and kind tribe had annihilated that evil tribe; otherwise, his tribe would have been in extreme danger.
After understanding the whole situation, the last trace of worry he had about the Green Sparrow tribe disappeared. Not only that, but he also felt very grateful to the Green Sparrow tribe.
As a result, during the subsequent trade, he even stubbornly gave the Green Sparrow tribe two more sheepskins...
The leader of the sheep tribe, along with his people, left the Green Sparrow tribe carrying the traded salt.
After walking for a while, he paused to look back at the tall walls, feeling that his tribe seemed smaller.
The joy of obtaining a large number of sheep had vanished.
Since he could remember, their tribe had always been able to acquire many sheep. Apart from learning to raise sheep, there had been no significant changes in the tribe over the years.
And this sheep-raising skill was learned from this very tribe.
In contrast, this neighboring tribe could not obtain as many sheep, yet they had become powerful through other means.
He recalled that previously, their tribe's population was not much different from his tribe's; they weren't wealthier than his tribe. But now, everything has changed.
In front of this tribe, the population of his tribe was insignificant, and the number of sheep they obtained each year was nothing to be proud of.
Fortunately, this tribe was still as kind as ever; otherwise...
If only the Divine Child had descended upon his tribe initially, how wonderful that would have been...
As the leader of the sheep tribe turned to leave, he once again thought of this impossible scenario.
As for stealing the Divine Child, he had long since dared not entertain that thought.
