Of course, the most important thing about the other person is that they are holding a fork, the kind that's as tall as a person, like a sea god from mythology...

CatDodo's eyes widened, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

“These are my ancestors.” Shui Ze stepped forward and said with absolute certainty, “This is our homeland, our eternal resting place. We will spend eternal time here.”

After he finished speaking, Maoduoduo was speechless. After a while, she reacted and asked, "Then can you tell me why you said that the forests and other places near our tribal city are your territory?"

She suddenly realized that this might be important. After all, it seemed that as long as the other person stayed here, they could live their entire lives without ever having to leave.

Shui Ze looked at her and suddenly laughed, a calm laugh that sent chills down Mao Duo Duo's spine. "Because I'm going to capture people. Anyone who stays in this area without our clan's permission will become our target, captured and executed..."

It has to be said that these words successfully made Maoduo's eyes widen, and he felt his breathing become cold.

So, the other party just watched them walk right into their trap, right?

"Isn't this a bit too despicable? If you had said so from the beginning, we would have discussed it with you properly..." Before Mao Duoduo could finish speaking, she was hugged tightly by Shui Ze.

The other person held her head with one hand and wrapped their other arm around her waist. Their voice held a resolute and decisive tone, "Don't leave me, and don't try to provoke me, Cat Duoduo. Stay by my side forever, and I won't let anything happen to your friends..."

The words that Maoduo wanted to say stopped, and he couldn't utter a single word. His pupils shrank involuntarily.

Oh no, it seems she's really run into a problem she can't solve...

On the other side.

The newly established tribal city.

Many people lit torches and waited for their companions to return.

The eagle elder who stayed behind repeatedly stated that he knew these young men's habits quite well. No matter what happened next, he absolutely wouldn't miss it.

"You can rest assured, City Lord, those kids definitely won't be back so soon. After all, they have so much to do and they have to shake off any potential pursuers..." The old man from the Eagle Clan wanted to say more.

Gal seemed to be listening attentively, but his mind was actually wandering, and he couldn't help but think about other things. It seemed that he might consider asking Uncle Senjie if orcs tend to become more talkative and wasteful of time as they get older.

Just then, a strong wind came from afar, and many orcs instinctively shielded their eyes from the wind with their hands.

"They're here!" The eagle elder looked surprised and muttered, "How could this be? They should have returned later..."

"They're back?" Gal didn't care about anything else and quickly looked around. He soon spotted the figures and followed a group of people to greet them.

"They seem to have brought people back... It's them! Our stolen females have been rescued!" Many orcs were excited.

Among them, the males whose partners had been taken away were the most excited. They kept thinking that once this matter was over, they would definitely not be separated from their partners so easily.

As a result, the eagles in front landed one after another and gradually transformed into human form.

The Serpent Rong and their men came down one after another. They met unexpectedly and were about to collide. Some of the orcs gradually stopped, mainly because they felt that something was strange.

"My female isn't here."

"Mine too, none of my daughters seem to fit the criteria."

"Could they have saved the wrong person...?"

Everyone was talking at once, unable to believe it. But as the Serpent Warriors approached, the appearance of the rescued females was revealed, silencing everyone.

Help! I don't recognize any of them! Who did the Serpent Warriors go to rescue...?

At this moment, Gal also reacted quickly.

But he said quite readily, "You've had a hard time on this trip."

"It's nothing," She Rong said succinctly, simply instructing his men to arrange for the females to rest.

Lina deliberately stayed behind last, taking the initiative to greet Gal. She had figured out that Gal must hold a special position among them, and it was only right that she greet him.

"Hello, we are females of the Shumu tribe. Not long ago, we were abducted here by Bai Na, the city lord of White Tiger City, and his men. He tried to use us to force our people to cede a considerable amount of benefits. Just now, Lord She Rong and his men rescued us, and the Shumu tribe will never forget this kindness."

"……It doesn't matter."

Gal had nothing else to say but to tell people to take care of Lina and to let her get some rest.

After everyone left, the subordinates showed expressions of curiosity and tension, clearly worried about not being able to rescue their female this time.

Who wouldn't be scared? It's been a long time since their female was stolen...

“It wasn’t Bai Na who took them away,” She Rong said quite frankly.

"If it's not him, then who could it be?" Gal frowned, arms crossed, lost in thought.

Gal, calm down. You must investigate and find out as soon as possible to rescue your companions.

The subordinates couldn't help but come over to ask the Serpent Rong where their females had gone...

It was at this moment that Ying Kai and the other males who were responsible for the rescue arrived and explained the situation to the others. They said they had spent some time investigating privately and confirmed that the person was indeed not here.

It must be said that with such a thorough investigation, what could possibly be overlooked? These long-awaited subordinates also showed signs of unease and tension, all concerned that something had happened to the females.

“Actually, they’ve already found the females,” Gal said directly.

The others looked over, and couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

Gal coughed, signaling Senjie, who had just walked over, to take his men over to identify the person.

Naturally, everyone got excited this time and rushed over...

Upon hearing this, the Serpent Rong was also amazed and looked at Gal with a puzzled expression.

Gal explained, "Actually, right after you left, the females suddenly appeared here."

Gal pointed to the location and gave a description.

Upon hearing that the river had suddenly frozen over, the Serpent Rong's expression changed.
