"I... I'm too terrifying, the Tiger Clan, the people of the Tiger Clan..."
Upon hearing about the Tiger Clan, the Elephant Clan member grabbed Ah Ye from the ground and leaned close to him, asking, "What happened to the Tiger Clan?"
A-Ye trembled and stammered, "The Tiger Clan has contracted the plague, and everyone inside is dying..."
The elephant tribe gasped, dropped A-Ye on the ground, and quickly ran back to the tribe to tell Hong Yan what had happened.
Hong Yan, of course, wouldn't believe it easily and repeatedly questioned the matter.
However, the elephant tribe only heard a few words before immediately running back to report the news, and he himself only had a vague understanding of the situation.
Xi Yezhang was so excited that his hands trembled. He suggested, "How about this, we send a few more people over to investigate."
Hong Yan nodded and said, "This time I will personally lead the team there."
They concealed their massive bodies with human-shaped figures, hiding in the grass.
From afar, Hong Yan saw two orcs dragging a charred corpse, digging a pit in the ground, and talking as they dug.
“Nanshu, why is the tribe so unlucky? We haven’t even recovered from the attack by the Elephant Clan, and now we’ve contracted the plague.”
Nan Shu also said angrily, "It's all that snake beast's fault. Why did it catch rats to eat? As a result, it not only died of the plague, but also caused so many people in the tribe to die."
Upon hearing that the powerful serpent beast had died of illness, Hong Yan's breath hitched, and he quietly clenched his fist.
"Has the bird or beast in the chieftain's household also fallen ill?"
Nan Shu nodded: "The witch doctor is already developing a prescription, and I heard that there will be results soon."
"Luckily, we had the witch doctor, otherwise we would have died on our own without even waiting for the elephant tribe."
"Alright, alright, stop complaining. Let's quickly burn and bury this sick orc to prevent him from getting infected."
They quickly buried it.
Hong Yan emerged from the bushes only after the tiger-men had left.
A member of the elephant tribe asked, "Chief, what do we do now?"
Hong Yan looked at the newly buried soil and said, "Dig it out."
The elephant-kin beastmen found some sticks nearby and began digging, huffing and puffing. When they saw the charred corpse, they exclaimed excitedly, "Chieftain, it really was burned to death!"
Hong Yan glanced at it quickly, worried that he might have been infected, and waved to his people: "Hurry up and bury it."
When they returned to the tribe and heard about the charred corpses, Xi Ye laughed out loud with delight: "It seems that the Tiger Clan has really brought this upon themselves this time."
“Yes, I don’t think the corpse is fake. The Tiger Clan would never deliberately burn their own people to deceive us,” Hong Yan affirmed.
"Chieftain, what are we waiting for? Let's attack the Tiger Clan!"
Seeing Xi Ye's excited expression, Hong Yan had a vague sense of unease: "I feel like something's not right."
