Suddenly, a huge fire erupted in front of them. Seeing the raging flames, Xi Qing seemed to be startled and retreated repeatedly. Bei Ji grabbed him and pulled him onto a rock.
Si Yan grabbed Dong Chi and jumped backward, landing him on a piece of land in Xiqing Beiji after several large jumps.
Dong Chi was a little confused. He looked at Si Yan in surprise. Si Yan immediately picked up a whole animal skin from the side and rushed over to the fire.
"Mother! Don't go over there!!" Bei Ji shouted loudly.
Fire is a sacred thing, and orcs are terrified of it. Even after seeing Si Yan cooking with fire in the cave, Bei Ji and the others were still afraid of fire.
Si Yan ignored them and continued to fight the fire with all her might, waving the animal hide. However, the fire had reached a point where ordinary firefighting methods were simply ineffective.
Si Yan gritted her teeth. Just then, a horrible scream suddenly rang out. Xiong Rou, that fat bear, seemed afraid that no one would know, and shouted loudly: "Si Yan, you heartless, wicked female!! Stealing my salt wasn't enough, you actually dared to steal the sacred fire seed!! You used the sacred fire to burn down my cave!!!!!!!!!!"
Xiong Rou has a very loud voice, and the beastmen have exceptionally good hearing.
Soon enough, the village chief arrived, Tyson arrived, and all the males in the village arrived.
Orcs have an innate awe of fire; they watched Si Yan rush into the flames, keeping a safe distance and not daring to approach.
Tyson frowned and walked towards Si Yan.
"Tyson, don't go! It's dangerous!" Wolf Xin shouted.
Even though many people tried to dissuade Tyson, he still walked towards Si Yan.
Wolf Xin glanced at Tyson, the best male in the wolf clan, and then at Si Yan, the thinnest and ugliest female in the tribe. The jealousy in her eyes intensified.
Si Yan turned around and glanced coldly at Xiong Rou. She found a thick piece of wood, quickly whittled it into a shovel with snake scales, and then used it to shovel sand to bury the fire!
Whether it was due to excessive reverence, or because no one understood the significance of Si Yan's actions, as the fire gradually subsided, the crowd's gazes held not only reverence and fear, but also some confusion.
Only after Si Yan shoveled away the last bit of sand and extinguished the last flame did the village chief belatedly shout, "Wait!"
It's too late to slow down; the sand has covered it, and the fire is out.
After realizing what had happened, the village chief suddenly wailed, "Heavens above, earth below, sacred fire! The sacred fire has been extinguished!!"
Si Yan's eyelids twitched.
Seeing that the fire was out, Xiong Rou strode over. She was furious and wanted to settle both old and new scores at once!
"Si Yan, you really are a wicked female! You dared to steal the sacred fire and even used it to burn down my cave!! The Yanxiang tribe will not let you get away with this. The village chief will punish you. You and your four annoying snake cubs must leave the Yanxiang tribe!!!"
After Xiong Rou finished speaking, Lang Xin chimed in, "Stealing the sacred fire, extinguishing the sacred fire. Si Yan, are you a spy sent by another tribe to destroy our Yan Township tribe!"
After Lang Xin finished speaking, the beastmen in the tribe looked at each other in dismay, and even their gazes towards Si Yan and her cubs became unfriendly.
Just then, Tyson stepped forward: "Village chief, Si Yan is not that kind of female."
The village chief was wailing over the sacred flame and had no interest in listening to Tyson.
The beastmen started chattering away.
"Tyson, you're still protecting her? Don't be fooled by this skinny, ugly female. She's a wicked woman who would sell her own cubs!"
Tyson said coldly, "Si Yan did not sell her own child!"
He had heard from Mei Wen that Si Yan was simply making the little one work. For beastmen, working was never shameful! It was a way to gain recognition and prove one's abilities and worth!
He didn't think Si Yan had done anything wrong!
"Tyson, Si Yan has eaten the tribe's food for so many years for nothing, yet she turned around and stole the sacred fire, extinguishing it! The tribe is now without its sacred fire, the tribe is finished!!!"
"Yeah, Tyson, open your eyes wide, Si Yan is such a bad woman, she's really no good."
Tyson frowned slightly.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had been stirred up, Xiong Rou shouted, "Expel Si Yan! Si Yan must be expelled!!"
Upon seeing this, the other orcs in the tribe shouted in unison, "Expel Si Yan! Si Yan must be expelled!!"
The majestic male stood before the solitary, thin female without hesitation. He spread one arm to block everyone's view of Si Yan and said in a deep voice, "If you want to expel Si Yan, then expel me as well."
"Tyson!!"
Tyson was the tribe's number one warrior and held great prestige within the tribe.
Si Yan can be expelled, but Tyson cannot!
Dong Chi stared at the scene before him, his pupils constricting slightly, his heart pounding in his chest.
What happened? Why is it that everything he did is ultimately blamed on her?
What about the sacred flame? He didn't understand.
But no matter how clueless he was, Dong Chi realized at that moment that he had made a mistake!
Dong Chi limped forward, spread his one good arm, and shouted, "It wasn't her! It wasn't her! It was me! It was me! I'll take responsibility for my own actions! What right do you have to accuse her?!"
Si Yan snapped, "Dong Chi! Shut up!"
Xiong Rou said coldly, "Listen to this, they admitted it! They admitted it! That vile woman Si Yan instigated her own cub to steal the Sacred Flame, and then extinguished it herself!!"
Xiong Rou's words were widely accepted by the orcs in the Yanxiang tribe.
In an instant, the words "Expel Si Yan" resounded throughout the sky.
Xiong Rou looked at Si Yan, who was being ostracized by everyone, and smiled victoriously. Even Lang Xin smiled sinisterly.
