Chapter 194 The Snake Tribe’s New House
"Dick, you're being too polite," Xiaomo said with a smile, "You forgot that you once saved my life. I can think of a solution with you without spending too much energy. And I just want to go out and have some fun."
"Okay," Dick nodded, "I'll take you there later."
After lunch, Dick and Xiaomo set off immediately.
Dozens of snake guards followed behind them.
Teddy and Corgi worked hard to help King Dick remove the gravel and branches on the roadside.
Xiao Mo sighed and said that in the snake territory, everything has to start from scratch.
Many nests built by the snake beastmen are now deserted. The spider webs at the door are covered with the dried corpses of small insects. Huge spiders are lying in the middle of the webs, resting leisurely.
The land in front of and behind the house had long been abandoned. The weeds on it were almost as tall as a person, and were almost withered yellow in color, standing there listlessly.
The water in some small ponds has dried up, and the corpses of many small fish and shrimps are lying in the mud at the bottom of the pond, emitting a fishy smell.
Except for the snake guards, Xiaomo hardly saw any female snakes along the way.
"Dick, it's only autumn now, why haven't we seen any ordinary orcs from the snake tribe?" Xiao Mo asked puzzledly.
"Most of them have already fled," Dick said. "Even if they are still there, they don't dare to show up."
Lid often sent guards to search for females and beat up males who obstructed him, so the orcs hardly dared to go out.
Now that Dick has become the new Beast King, he still faces many problems.
The orcs have lost trust in the Snake King.
Although Dick has gained the support of the snake guards, he still has a long way to go if he wants to completely change the image of the Snake King among the people.
Dick now lives a very simple life of food and lodging, and devotes all his energy to improving the lives of ordinary orcs.
"Dick, let's work together to find a solution," Xiaomo said, "to build a better territory so that all the snake orcs can return to their homes to spend the winter before winter comes."
"Xiao Mo, let me take care of these things," Dick said, "The couple's clothes are ready. I'll take you around the Snake Tribe in the next few days. There are still many places worth visiting here."
Xiaomo remembered that the big lake near the border of the snake tribe had very beautiful scenery.
But now is not the time for the snake tribe to play.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the displaced snake orcs may not have a good life in other places in order to survive.
Just like Teddy and Corgi before, they were in the waters of the Eagle Tribe. Fortunately, they did not encounter the Komodo dragon, but their wandering life made them unhappy at all.
Only by returning to your own territory can you feel home, feel at ease, and pursue a better life.
"Dick, when the Snake Tribe's territory becomes more beautiful in the future, I will definitely let you take me around the Snake Tribe," Xiaomo said with a smile, "but not now. The seven days here are too short. We must first build the most basic home and have supplies to allow the displaced Snake Tribe beastmen to return to their hometown first."
Although Reed has turned the snake tribe into this state, Dick has now taken over as the Snake King, and so many guards have accepted the new Snake King. He must win the hearts of the people and develop the snake tribe better.
"Xiaomo, thank you," Dick said gratefully, "I didn't expect that you would think so carefully of me even though we haven't known each other for such a short time."
"Ha, you're welcome, Dick," Xiaomo said with a smile, "I can't repay you for saving my life, so what's the point of doing this?"
"These are all things of the past," Dick also laughed. "I am embarrassed that you keep thinking about them."
"Dick, where do you think is the most suitable place for your snake clan to live now?" Xiaomo asked.
Xiaomo thought that it should be by the lake.
Snakes like places with water, humidity, good hunting conditions and good hiding places.
That lake has water, and there are many small animals living on both land and water.
There are also many trees and low shrubs near the lake.
These are all suitable for the survival of snake orcs.
Sure enough, Dick thought for a moment and said, "It must be the lake of the snake tribe. It used to be a Feng Shui treasure land passed down by our ancestors, but since Lid became the snake king, he drove away all the orcs living there and turned it into his own hunting ground."
"Well," Xiaomo nodded, "then we will build around the lake, build beautiful houses first, and then build a huge underground warehouse to collect food for the winter. Then we will send out a call and let the snake orcs spread the word that they can move in for free, and more and more orcs will come back."
"Xiaomo, your idea is great," Dick said approvingly. "I'm just worried about where to start and how to get the orcs back. Let's get started now."
With guidance, all problems seem to be solved.
"Teddy, go gather all the guards," Dick said to Teddy, "Pass on my order, assemble everyone, go to the lake, build houses. The lake is open, and all orcs can live in the new houses for free, including those in foreign territories!"
"Ah? My king, there is such a good thing?" Teddy was confused. He had never dreamed of such a good thing in his life.
That is the exclusive hunting ground of Snake King Lid.
If an ordinary snake orc gets close to there, he will die.
How many orcs were driven out, never to return.
Not even a close look.
"Well, Teddy, there's more," Dick said, "the guards who participated in the construction can get another new house for their families."
When the accompanying guards heard King Dick's order, they immediately became excited and began to discuss in low voices.
"My sister and parents are still hiding on the hillside in a remote corner of the wolf tribe," said a guard. "I will definitely participate in the construction and allocate a new house to bring my sister and parents back."
"I want to join, too," said another guard. "My distant cousin has fled to the bear tribe. I didn't dare to marry her because I didn't have a house and was worried about Lid's persecution. Now, I have a house and my parents' house."
"My family used to live there, but was driven out by Lid, and I worked for him," said another guard. "Luckily, King Dick is back. I really want to go back to my home and have a look."
The guards became happier and happier as they talked, and they couldn't wait to start working.
Laying foundations and building construction are a piece of cake for them.
"My king, when will we start building it?" the guards said in unison. "Why not start now?"
