But all of this is predicated on you becoming powerful enough to oppress other races. If you come to provoke them but are too weak, it's only natural that you'll be wiped out.

"Why waste words with him? Just kill him, and then drive all the orcs out of the circle."

Carlos's solution was the simplest and most direct.

Guo Xiaoxiao hasn't suffered any real harm yet; she's just surrounded. It's unlikely she'd be killed.

His behavior was definitely wrong. But they did it before.

"Don't kill him too much. He still knows you. It wouldn't be good to kill him."

Arthur dismissed him with disdain, thinking, "What's so great about a mere orc? There are plenty of them in the cave now." He actually held him in high regard, noticing that the star ring on his arm had grown to four stars, whereas when Arthur left, it was only three.

His companion, Batur, was dejected, unable to rise beyond three stars. Unexpectedly, Shi Lin actually broke through after a trip outside.

This is inseparable from his hard work and training outside.

Upon hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, Shi Lin immediately relaxed; at least he wouldn't be killed.

"Arthur, please forgive me. I really know I was wrong. From now on, I'll avoid her whenever I see her."

Arthur glanced at him, then winked at the orc beside him. As if receiving some kind of signal, the orc nodded at Arthur and swarmed forward, knocking Shi Lin to the ground and giving him a good beating.

Randy nodded in satisfaction at the result.

That's more like it.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. It was only right to spare their lives and teach them a lesson. They were the ones who came looking for trouble, and they deserved to be beaten because they were less skilled.

"There are more and more orcs migrating now, so Xiaoxiao shouldn't run around outside. She can stay around the cave, but she can't come this far."

As Mickelson spoke, he held Guo Xiaoxiao's hand and never let go.

Randy was the one who suggested going to the desert, and he thought it was a very rash decision that almost put Guo Xiaoxiao in danger.

"I just wanted to take him and her there for a while, thinking that since it was within the territory, no orcs would come in. But I was wrong and they won't come in the future."

Carlos: "It is indeed comfortable. Don't go to the forest these next few days. There are too many orcs gathering here, and we need to send more people to protect the territory."

If the territory is lost, even food will be a problem. These 10,000-plus people are no joke. They now recruit people based on strength, and they don't want anyone below the second star ring unless they are exceptionally outstanding.

Other small, free tribes have already lost their footing, and the 2,000 people brought by Xiang Shilin are neither too many nor too few, not particularly outstanding, in the Forgotten Continent.

It could easily be swallowed up by other tribes. The orcs living in the caves have now spread throughout the Forgotten Continent. They migrated from the Beast City.

Many orcs came to join them, every day. In short, if a female brought someone to join them, it was definitely to increase their advantage.

Even females are bringing their own people to seek refuge, so the situation outside must be dire.

Thanks to their tough measures, a large area of ​​the forest was their territory, where hunting was not allowed, and examples of those who had been caught hunting were shown to them.

Several tribes joined forces to try and breach the cave, but unfortunately, Miksen dealt with them all by himself. They were a motley crew, nothing to fear.

Not counting the five-star ring members like Mickson, even the orcs of Beast City were already elites among elites. The ones without star rings and those with one star rings were only recruited by Randy when Beast City hadn't absorbed enough talent yet. He relaxed the conditions to expand into Beast City, but tightened the conditions after Arthur arrived.

Shi Lin was beaten up and looked like a wrecked man. He clutched his waist and staggered to Arthur, asking cautiously.

"Arthur, can I come with you now? I'm already a four-star ring, enough to stand beside you."

Indeed, Arthur's attitude towards Shi Lin has changed again. Since he's already been punished, he won't hold it against him. He still appreciates Shi Lin even though he's only four stars.

“You can join the team, but I won’t accept the orcs you bring. We have too many people to take in. Let them find their own way to make a living.”

Shi Lin nodded, speaking to the orc who had run away and then ran back.

"I am no longer your chieftain. Go find your own territory."

The orcs were too far away to approach, but they could clearly hear the voices, meaning the Stone Forest had abandoned them. They had to rely on themselves.

"Shilin, you don't want us anymore. Back then, you insisted on becoming the clan leader, and I was supporting you. Why don't you take me with you?"

“You ran the fastest just now, and you still want to go with him? Do you think he will agree? We have 2,000 people. We can survive anywhere. You are underestimating us.”

"Just let him go."

When the orcs first arrived on the Forgotten Continent, their understanding of it was very limited. Now, the wandering orcs are no longer a threat, and everyone knows that the Forgotten Continent has been occupied by the orcs from the ancient continent.

However, they didn't expect that the Forgotten Continent had such unique terrain. There were many places with abundant food, while places with food shortages were very difficult to find. Everyone was confident and eager to make a big splash.

They will soon be utterly devastated by the harsh reality.

“That’s right, let’s go then, let Shi Lin go with them.”

"Shilin, you'll regret this."

The orcs transformed into their beast forms and ran off into the distance, and Guo Xiaoxiao saw that the minor crisis had been averted.

"Then let's go home."

The five of them said "Mmm" in unison.

Back in the cave, Guo Xiaoxiao took a bath, still with Randy by her side, but she was still bored after spending half a day there.

Because of the setback she had suffered, she no longer wanted to learn herbalism from Alo. The desire to learn that she had finally managed to rekindle was gone in an instant.
