Chapter 136 I hate that family of three
In a moment of desperation, Shu Ning took out a leather bag from her spatial storage and used teleportation to transfer the flying black insect into the bag.
Next, tie the bag opening tightly.
Although these insects are numerous and densely packed, they are extremely small in size. After they turn into flying insects, they become even smaller and are almost invisible to the naked eye.
Even if hundreds of thousands of them were gathered together, they would only be a little bigger than the palm of your hand.
The beastmen who had gathered around were stunned when they saw the dense swarm of black insects suddenly disappear.
Some had already guessed what was going on, while others were still in a daze.
"What happened?" Jin Tong asked. He quickly checked Shu Ning over and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.
The chaotic scene suddenly became much quieter.
The itching and pain on the black snake beastmen, who were originally parasitized by parasites, suddenly disappeared after the parasites flew away.
The feeling of irritability in my heart also disappeared.
At that moment, they felt incredibly refreshed and relaxed, a feeling they had never experienced before.
When they saw swarms of black insects flying toward their king, they anxiously tried to rush forward, but the next second they saw them suddenly disappear.
No one knew what had happened.
Shu Ning glanced at the people around her who were still in a daze, and holding up the bag of black insects, she said to Jin Tong, "They had parasites on them, but I've put them all into the bag."
Jin Tong took the bag from her hand, squeezed it, and sure enough, it was true!
He gently opened it and saw that the black insects inside were about to fly out, so he immediately closed it.
Xuanmo also took a look.
"What do you plan to do?" Jin Tong asked Shu Ning, but he was also asking Xuan Mo.
"What does Xuanmo think?" Shu Ning turned to look at Xuanmo and asked.
"Burn them all," Xuan Mo said coldly.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Ansha, who had been observing from the sidelines, rushed over and said. He glanced at the disgusting insect with a complicated expression. "Wasn't this a gift from the gods? How could you destroy it..."
"Only you think it's a gift from God. Do you know how many people this thing has poisoned?" Nightmare said indignantly. "Look at those orcs. How happy and carefree they are now without these black worms."
"As the king of a tribe, how can you allow your people to be controlled by this disgusting thing every day? Don't you feel ashamed?"
“But only this can motivate them to fight more; it’s a gift from heaven,” Ansha said uncertainly.
"What is the purpose of fighting? Isn't it to ensure that your people live a happy and peaceful life?" Nightmare continued.
“Only by being powerful enough can one ensure a peaceful life for one’s people, and this is what makes them powerful,” Ansha said.
"That only proves that you, as a leader, lack confidence. There are countless ways to make your tribe stronger, but you chose the method that hurts them the most." Nightmare's temper flared up as he argued with Dark Sha.
“I…” Ansha said, unable to defend himself, “Sacrificing a portion of the people in exchange for the increased strength of the entire tribe.”
“It’s not worth it.” Xuanmo spoke up at this moment, “Stop being so self-righteous.”
“Worth it!” Hei Teng said, indicating that he wanted to stand on the same side as An Sha.
“Xuanmo, you…” Ansha felt inexplicably saddened when he heard Xuanmo deny his words.
Although he no longer remembered his past, his denial made him feel lost.
“Every life in the Black Serpent Clan is precious and should not be used as a tool for your invasion of other races,” Xuan Mo said coldly.
The beastmen were shocked to hear Xuanmo's words; they hadn't expected him to think that way.
In the Black Serpent Clan, they are used to being instilled with the idea from childhood by their parents that they will be selected as reserve orcs for the tribe after reaching a certain age, ready to fight against other tribes at any time.
This has always been the case, even their parents' generation.
Many were either killed in battle or maimed.
They not only do not blame their leader, but they are proud of it.
Some people now say that their lives are also precious and should not be used as tools for invading other races.
Xuanmo's words also shocked Heiteng's subordinates.
The black worms inside them had now been expelled.
They felt ashamed at the thought that they would have to give false testimony for Heiteng today.
“Your Majesty,” one of the orcs bravely stepped forward and said, “we did indeed launch a surprise attack on the Crown Prince today.”
The orcs who were preparing to give false testimony looked at him in shock.
“Mm,” Ansha nodded in response.
Seeing Ansha's satisfied attitude, the other orcs stepped forward one after another.
“That’s right, Your Majesty. It was the Black Teng leader who ordered us to ambush Xuanmo,” another beastman said.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we almost harmed the Crown Prince."
...
Seeing that one or two of the orcs who had promised to give false testimony were now turning against him, Black Teng panicked.
"You...you all!" He was furious and embarrassed, but he had nothing to say.
"Father, no, no!" He wanted to say something more, but when he saw Xuan Qing come out, he was completely desperate.
"What, you dare to do it but not admit it!?" Xuan Qing looked at him angrily, at this good son who almost killed her.
Although he wasn't her biological son, she still raised him for twenty years.
I never expected them to be so cold-blooded, ruthless, and ungrateful.
"No, Mother, I..." At this moment, he had no desire to fight anymore.
They had no desire to live.
From the moment he was taken in, he was the most beloved son of his father and mother, and their only son.
She enjoyed everyone's love and care every day, thinking that she would be happy like this for the rest of her life.
Until one day, Xuanmo was born.
The love he once thought was unchanging vanished like fleeting clouds.
Seeing their favoritism towards Xuanmo often reminded him of how he himself had been pampered in the past.
He wanted to be noticed by them again, to be loved by them.
No matter how hard he tried or how well he performed, they ignored it all.
This made him hate more and more—he hated Xuanmo, he hated Xuanqing, he hated Ansha!
I hate that happy family of three!
——
He knew that the next successor of the Black Serpent Clan must be Xuan Mo.
But one day he suddenly disappeared, and Ansha became the king of the tribe. The vacant position of Black Serpent Clan leader naturally became his.
This gave him renewed hope. He was once again his father and mother's only son. He thought that as long as he worked hard and took the initiative to attack other tribes, Ansha would recognize him.
This is indeed true; many of the orcs in his tribe already support him, and Ansha also looks at him differently.
After learning about the existence of the Mystic Crystal Stone from the attack on the Jiaolong Clan, he wanted to send someone to find it and present it to his father and mother so that they would praise him even more.
But who would have thought that Xuan Mo was actually there, and those beastmen who went out to search actually skipped over him and told Xuan Qing about it.
When Xuan Qing found out, he sent Wu Ling, Xuan Mo's prospective female, to find her. However, not only did she fail to bring Xuan Mo back, she was also severely scolded by him.
He originally thought that Xuanmo would never come back, after all, he didn't like staying in the Black Serpent Clan, but who would have thought that he would still come back.
Last night, An Sha approached him, asking him to relinquish his position as leader, saying it was only temporary and that now that Xuan Mo was back, he should no longer take the role.
In his desperation, he gave him a full supply of Forget-Me-Not Grass, which was discovered by Xuan Qing, but the Forget-Me-Not Grass had already been used up.
Thinking of this, he came up with another plan: he could say that Xuan Qing had gone back to see her mother, and in the meantime, he could find some new Forget-Me-Not herbs.
Then kill Xuanmo who went out, so that he can be their only son again, and that position will be his.
