I transmigrated into a beast world, hated by everyone, and was eaten by a shameless snake.

Leng Ran watched the tribespeople bustling about, and felt quite anxious.

Their tribe was a tribe of wandering orcs.

Their tribe has many different races of orcs. These wandering orcs are either expelled, born without a tribe, or are considered "inauspicious" by other orcs.

The story of how the Wangshan tribe was formed is a long one.

Leng Ran was abandoned at birth because he was born with four bulges on his abdomen and one on his head. Apart from his body and scales, he didn't resemble a snake at all.

Therefore, the people of the tribe regarded him as an omen of bad luck. Even though his father was the chief of the snake tribe, they hated him to the extreme and eventually drove him out of the tribe.

When Leng Ran was driven out of the tribe, he couldn't transform into human form yet and was less than a year old; he was still a little cub.

At that time, he was almost starving to death. Later, he was rescued by a wandering old orc. The old orc was a bull orc who had gone mad after his partner died unexpectedly. Fortunately, he was very kind to him.

Over the years, Leng Ran has managed to get through it all. Although the old orc eventually went to see the Beast God, he left with a smile on his face.

Leng Ran spent some time alone before finally joining a tribe of wandering orcs.

This tribe is composed of people from all walks of life. Because there is a huge mountain in the area where they live, it is called the Wangshan Tribe.

Originally, Leng Ran wasn't the clan leader. The clan leader was a crocodile beastman. However, this clan leader liked to bully young females, and the other beastmen couldn't defeat him. Leng Ran couldn't bear to see young females being bullied, so he killed the crocodile beastman.

Later, he was elected as the clan chief.

Their tribe has grown from a few dozen people to more than a hundred, making it a small orc tribe.

However, they do not have territory, so they always hunt secretly in the territory of other tribes.

This led to the tribesmen being frequently bullied. Fortunately, Leng Ran was there because he was very strong in combat, so even if those tribes disliked them, they dared not make any rash moves.

Actually, it's not that they don't want territory, it's just that on this continent, all the places with prey already have owners.

Their tribe was only established last winter, and they have no territory. Even their members are the weakest.

Because these tribesmen are all wandering beastmen, there are very few females, and many of them are disabled beastmen.

They were very grateful that Leng Ran hadn't abandoned them; otherwise, given Leng Ran's combat prowess, he would have been much more carefree and comfortable wherever he went.

Looking at the tribespeople, Leng Ran felt a sense of unease.

He became the clan leader quite by accident. He had just come of age and had little experience. When he saw the young females being bullied, he stood up and became the clan leader.

His adoptive father, the bull-beastman, once said that many wandering beastmen are pitiful. Their birth is not something they can choose, and their physical disabilities are not something they want. So, if you encounter a kind and weak wandering beastman, you should help him if you can. After all, this world is already very bitter, and it would be good to let them feel a little sweetness.

His adoptive father was a kind-hearted wandering beastman, so he was influenced and became a kind-hearted snake beastman as well. Otherwise, many snake beastmen are cold-blooded and heartless.

He recalled being abandoned as a child, and looking at these weak or young stray beastmen, it was as if he saw his former self, so he couldn't ignore them.

Now he is a tribal chief, and even though the tribe is so weak, it is still a responsibility.

Their tribe had no territory and constantly hunted prey from other tribes' territories, which was not a sustainable solution.

He was the only one with fighting ability in his tribe; the rest of the tribesmen were not very capable of fighting. So whenever he went to hunt, he went alone. If the tribesmen from other tribes discovered that he was hunting prey from their territory, they would just turn a blind eye.

Now, Leng Ran felt the pull of his bloodline; he wanted to find that female, to find his cub.

But what about his people? He was caught in a dilemma.

"Chieftain!" An elderly goat-beastman entered.

"Um, Yang Ming, is there something you need?" Leng Ran asked the old orc.

"Chieftain, you've been looking downcast lately. Is something on your mind?" Yang Ming asked.

"I'm pregnant," Leng Ran said.

"That's a good thing!"

"But I can't find them."

"It's not that you can't find them, it's that we're the ones who are holding you back." Yang Ming knew very well that as long as there was a bloodline connection, there was no child that couldn't be found.

"Chief, what kind of person is your partner?" Yang Ming asked.

"He is not my partner. I took advantage of him unintentionally when I was in heat."

"If that's the case, you should go find him. Females without mates will be ostracized and bullied if they have offspring. Although we are wandering beastmen, we still have to have a sense of responsibility. You should go find that female, apologize to her, and explain the situation."

After Yang Ming finished speaking, he continued, "We are all wandering beastmen, and you know what kind of lives we lead. Do you want your child to be driven out of the tribe? Before, you had your foster father who loved you, so you might not have felt your child's loneliness. But now that he hasn't found you, he will be afraid too."

Leng Ran didn't speak, but just lowered his head and thought.

"You should go find them." Yang Ming is quite old, and he has more experience and knowledge than Leng Ran.

Leng Ran is a kind-hearted snake-beastman, so Yang Ming has always respected him and would occasionally give him a word of advice, but he would never overstep his bounds.

"I understand! I'll go find them." He had wanted to go find them all along, but he just hadn't had the right opportunity.

The next day, Leng Ran went hunting and brought back a lot of prey.

"Don't go out during this time. Stay in the cave. I've left a mark, so no one should come. If anyone does, go deeper into the cave and wait for me to come back. I'm going to get my cubs and females now. I'll be back as soon as possible. If you've finished your prey, eat some wild fruits to keep warm, understand?" Leng Ran said to his people.

"Understood, Chieftain, we will wait for your return," said a little rabbit beastman.
