Qingwan Forest is located by the sea, and there is a sea area behind the White Tiger Tribe. When they first settled in this forest, they were often harassed by the Merfolk. They killed beastmen, stole food, and destroyed the land. Their disgusting behavior was no less than that of the Elephant Tribe this time.
This situation continued until the White Tiger Tribe established itself in the Qingwan Forest and things gradually improved. However, the cold-blooded orcs still cast a long shadow over the orcs of the White Tiger Tribe.
Because of past examples, this is why the orcs of the White Tiger tribe are so resistant to and afraid of Mo Zhou; they all believe that the cold-blooded beastmen have returned.
The shaman said, "Mo Zhou is different from other cold-blooded beastmen; he saved his people."
Qu Cang scoffed, "Who knows if he's just putting on an act? Cold-blooded orcs are despicable and shameless!"
Hearing that Mo Zhou had also been hurt by the generalization, Yu Wanwan was furious and said angrily, "Mo Zhou is not that kind of person, you are not allowed to slander him!"
Yu Wanwan's counterattack had no effect whatsoever; instead, it provoked ridicule from the crowd. Several old beastmen, led by Qu Cang, laughed and said, "What do you know, you useless female? You don't even know you've been fooled."
Their laughter grew increasingly unrestrained. Bai Jing frowned slightly, and a fireball shot straight towards the group of old orcs. The fireball scalded them, causing them to scream and shout in the square. Their animal skin skirts were burned off, and they ran around naked.
The other orcs burst into laughter.
The old orc, feeling humiliated, flew into a rage: "Bai Jing, are you trying to incite public outrage?"
Bai Jing smirked: "If you dare to say another word, it won't be as simple as a fireball."
The old orc choked, his face turning red with anger at the threat in Bai Jing's eyes.
The witch doctor frowned, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention.
"Bai Jing's attitude is very clear: if he is to become the chieftain, he must accept the snake beast, otherwise his family will leave the tribe."
“How can this be?” a young orc said. “Bai Jing is our chieftain. If he leaves, who will lead the tribe?”
He had been going on group hunts with Bai Jing every day for the past few days and had already been impressed by Bai Jing's strength. Although Bai Jing had not yet officially become the clan leader, in his heart, no beastman present could compare to Bai Jing.
The old orc was exasperated: "Bai Jing left the tribe for the sake of a female before. In his heart, he was disloyal to the tribe. The fact that the tribe is willing to let him come back is already a blessing. The snake beast must not let him stay."
“But if the snake beast leaves, Bai Jing will also leave.”
Qu Cang: "Let him leave if he wants to. The tribe won't miss him!"
The young orc was so angry at their attitude that he was panting heavily. He felt that the attitude of these old orcs had tarnished the image of his chieftain.
The young orc gritted his teeth and after a long while said, "If Bai Jing leaves, then I will follow him. Without Bai Jing, our tribe will be conquered by the Elephant Clan sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Qu Cang was so angry he wanted to hit someone: "You useless orc! You have no brains."
The young orc was not to be outdone, and retorted with a stiff neck, "Bai Jing has been leading us on hunts all this time. Without him, our tribe would never have recovered."
He added, "Anyway, I only recognize Bai Jing as the clan leader."
“Aren’t you afraid the snake beast will harm you? That’s a cold-blooded beastman!” another old beastman said.
Upon hearing the word "cold-blooded orc," the young orc trembled, his gaze involuntarily turning towards Mo Zhou.
The thick snake tail, the cold, hard scales, the sticky, fishy-smelling forked tongue, and the venom...
That's terrifying! The young orc's face paled, and he quickly turned his head away.
You can't look, you can't look! If you look any longer, he won't be so determined!
Seeing the young orc's expression, Yu Wanwan quickly spoke up to defend Mo Zhou: "Mo Zhou wouldn't hurt anyone. He's an exceptionally gentle orc."
The beastmen secretly looked Mo Zhou up and down, but no matter what they did, they couldn't find any trace of gentleness in him.
Seeing the beastmen's scrutinizing gazes, Mo Zhou extended his forked tongue, revealing a malicious expression.
The orcs were frightened by his threatening gaze and quickly looked away, and the square fell silent.
Yu Wanwan gripped Mo Zhou's hand tightly and continued, "Mo Zhou and I have been partners for so long, and he has never harmed any other beastmen. He even helped everyone repel the Elephant Clan before. I can guarantee that Mo Zhou will not harm the tribe."
Qu Cang shouted, "You are just a female, what right do you have to make any guarantees to cold-blooded beastmen?"
"I can do it, Mo Zhou won't hurt anyone." Yu Wanwan's face turned pale, and she subconsciously bit her lip.
Sensing the young female's tension, Mo Zhou held her hand tightly: "I will not go against my partner's wishes and harm the people in the tribe at will."
Bai Jing also said, "I can vouch for Mo Zhou; he is my family, a member of the tribe."
The You family also stepped forward: "Yes, Mo Zhou helped the tribe. He is different from other cold-blooded beastmen."
Minzhu also said, "He will definitely listen to Wanwan."
Several elderly orcs looked at each other, wanting to provoke each other again. Seeing this, the shaman quickly said loudly, "Originally, this matter should have been decided by the chieftain and elders, but now both positions in the tribe are temporarily vacant, so I have decided to let everyone vote by raising their hands. As long as more orcs agree that the snake beast can stay, then the snake beast can stay, and Bai Jing is willing to serve as the chieftain."
After saying this, the witch doctor raised his hand first to show his attitude.
Next, the You family and Granny Minzhu all raised their hands.
Recently, the young beastmen who went on a group hunt with Bai Jing also lifted people high into the air.
