"Let's go to the beach first! We need to get some salt. Trading dried meat for salt is too expensive and not worth it!"

Lin Xue quickly arrived at the square, where almost all the members of the Qingshan tribe had gathered, except for the cubs who were still sleeping.

Although there were many orcs in the square, it was quiet, and no one made a sound.

The tribespeople who came to see them off followed quietly behind the procession. None of them spoke; they simply followed silently until the procession left the Qingshan tribe, at which point they turned back.

Lin Xue sat on the back of a shadow beast. Because she was the only female in the group, Ya had her transform into human form and be carried by a male from the tribe.

The Shadow Beast is incredibly fast; when it runs at full speed, even a sports car could probably catch up with it.

"Help!"

"Is there any orc who can save me?"

Just as the group was halfway there, they faintly heard orcs calling for help from ahead.

It was the voice of a female orc, and judging from the voice, she must be quite good-looking.

Unlike other orcs, this female orc's voice was somewhat delicate and soft, and for some reason, Lin Xue could detect a hint of tea in it.

"Are there any orcs here? Help me!"

The sounds continued to come, and the Shadow Beasts slowed down.

All the shadow beasts turned their gaze toward Ya, but Ya's gaze fell on Lin Xue.

"This place is far away from all the tribes, how could there be a female here?"

"There's only one reason why a female can leave her tribe: she'll be kidnapped by wandering orcs!"

"This female is either bait set up by the wandering orcs to steal their supplies, or she escaped from the wandering orcs!"

"However, I think the latter is less likely, because it's very difficult for a female to escape from a wandering orc! Even if she could escape, no female would dare to shout so loudly right after escaping from a wandering orc!"

Upon hearing that sound, Lin Xue couldn't help but think of a certain scene from Journey to the West.

There were always demons trying to harm Tang Sanzang. Along the way, there were always injured old men or injured children blocking the road and asking Tang Sanzang and his disciples to carry them.

Often, the next second, the four of them would suffer a great calamity, with Tang Sanzang being kidnapped and his disciples trying every means to rescue him.

Lin Xue didn't want this to happen to her team, after all, they didn't have the skills of their senior brother!

Therefore, we had to tell the orcs in the team about the dangers beforehand.

Saying things after the fact might make you seem malicious and intolerant.

However, if these words were spoken beforehand, it would serve as a warning to the beastmen, and when the incident occurred, they would inevitably connect it to that possibility.

This was exactly the effect Lin Xue wanted—to give the beastmen a sense of what's going on and prevent them from being easily fooled!

"Should we still go over and take a look?"

After hearing Lin Xue's words, Ya's initial desire to save people was suddenly dampened.

He transformed into human form and went to Lin Xue's side, somewhat unsure of what to do next.

"Yes, we definitely have to go and take a look, but everyone has to be on high alert and ready to fight at any time!"

Lin Xue glanced at her team and figured they shouldn't be afraid of any schemes; at worst, they could just run away.

"Am, you should transform into your beast form first! If there's any danger later, the enemy always targets the weakest-looking person in our group."

After listening to Ya's words, Lin Xue felt that they made sense.

It immediately jumped off the male Shadow Beast and turned back into the Shadow Beast's true form.

Even in her beast form, other orcs could still recognize her as female, but she was less likely to be discovered when hiding among the shadow beasts.

In terms of escaping, transforming into the Shadow Beast's true form is faster.

The group of people heard Jin Xue and Ya's conversation, and they became cautious as they moved forward, ready to turn around and run away at any moment.

When they arrived at the source of the sound, they saw a small female sitting on the ground in the open space ahead, crying and begging for help.

"Help! Help me! Please, kind beastmen, save me!"

This little female was extremely beautiful, and unlike the females in the Shadow Beast pack, she wasn't very tall; she was only about 1.6 meters tall at most.

Lin Xue had gotten used to seeing female beastmen who were 1.78 meters tall, so seeing this short guy who was only 1.6 meters tall was quite novel.

"You seem perfectly fine now, so why would you need us to save you?"

While maintaining his human form, Ya asked the little female in front of him.

The female in front of me was clean and didn't look injured. Why was she asking for help?

"I am a female from the Tianshui tribe. I was kidnapped by wandering orcs, but I have finally escaped. Could you kind orcs please take me in?"

As the little female spoke, she even gave Ya a flirtatious wink.

Lin Xue took two steps toward the cliff. Although the little female was pretty and her flirtatious glances were alluring, she didn't look like a good female at all!

"This place is very remote, why did you come here to ask for help?"

"Besides, aren't you afraid the wandering orcs will come looking for you when you shout so loudly?"

"And you're not injured, so why are you sitting on the ground?"

Ya and his people did not approach, and when the female heard Ya's question, her expression immediately turned ugly.
