"You mean to say that we cannot drink water from the river?" Ruan Chanchan turned to look at the mer with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She always thought that the orcs drank water from the river that flowed through the territory. She never thought that the orcs of the tribe did not use the river for drinking.
"It's not like we don't use it, but we hardly use it," corrected Su Mo as he collected the dried bamboo shoots from the flat slab. He raised his head and looked at Ruan Chanchan before saying to her in a low voice, "The river is shared between the two tribes. Currently, the water level of all the rivers is the same, which is why the people from the other tribes don't usually come here, but during summer, the water level of the rivers would go down, and only this river would maintain a proper water level."
"Thus, most of the tribes would come to this river and stake their claim over it."
