Suddenly, a huge gray rat emerged from the ground three hundred meters away. Meng Yuqing felt numb all over. Rats look pretty when they are small, but they look so ferocious after becoming so huge. Of course, it may also be that this rat orc is more hideous.
"I advise you not to interfere in the affairs of our Limestone Tribe. We have more than 1,400 people in the Limestone Tribe, and we are not someone a tribe like yours can afford to offend." said the giant gray-skinned rat.
Meng Yuqing's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. What a classic villain's statement. In the novel, you won't survive more than three chapters. I advise you to run away quickly.
The other orcs who heard the mouse orc's words responded with low growls.
Meng stomped his limbs on the ground frantically, and his huge body made people feel that the earth was shaking.
The rat orc seemed a little angry when he saw that the people of the Green Mountain Tribe refused to retreat. "Are you sure you want to offend our Gray Rock Tribe? For another tribe that has nothing to do with you?"
No one from the Qingshan tribe answered him, and Meng Yuqing even felt that Xuan was a little impatient.
He patted Xuan's back soothingly. "They're scared. They probably didn't bring many people with them. They want to scare us into abandoning the Stonehorn Tribe."
"Yeah." Xuan answered softly.
Seeing that two attempts at persuasion didn't work, the rat orc snorted coldly and burrowed into the ground.
Then Meng Yuqing discovered that Xia and the others had become more alert, and many orcs began to stamp their feet anxiously and stare at the ground.
But they were all staring at the positions outside the protection circle, and only the orcs brought by Bo would occasionally glance inside the protection circle.
The noise outside the protective circle grew louder and louder, and everyone became more and more nervous, their attention focused on the underground outside the protective circle.
It is impossible that all of them are outside the protection circle. The noise they made is to cover up some people sneaking into the underground inside the protection circle.
He asked softly in his mind as he thought of this.
"System, can the exploration reveal their location? Or can I use additional energy?"
"Yes, host. Their location can be detected within the exploration range."
"Use it." He answered decisively. Although the exploration range was not large, he was now in the middle position, and the coverage area was enough to surround all the orcs with sub-beasts and some of the orcs with supplies.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "If the system encounters any danger, I allow you to directly consume my energy and inform me of the situation in a timely manner."
"Good host."
"Twelve meters to the left of the host, six meters underground, there is an orc from the Graystone Tribe."
"Twenty meters ahead, eight meters underground there is one"
"There's one six meters directly below Akiba."
. . . . . .
The system reported more than a dozen locations in a row. Meng Yuqing's expression gradually became solemn. They were all underground, too hidden. They were so close, as long as they didn't launch an attack, how could the orcs not notice them?
His eyes swept over all the orcs, and he found that the people brought out by Bo had completely turned their attention back to the protection circle. Some of them were only staring at one place, while some were looking back and forth at two places.
But no one was watching the spot right below Qiu Ye.
He slid his hand across Xuan's back to get his attention.
Xuan responded quickly, his tail gently sweeping across Meng Yuqing's calf.
Meng Yuqing immediately grabbed his tail and pulled him towards Qiu Ye.
Xuan's body stiffened. At first he didn't understand what Meng Yuqing was doing, but he suddenly remembered that Meng Yuqing had the ability to know what was around him without using his eyes.
He pretended to be a little anxious and turned to face Qiu Ye, then he felt Meng Yuqing's hand holding his tail pressed down.
Then I heard Meng Yuqing's very low voice, "Be careful there."
Xuan's pupils became extremely deep.
"The system tells me as soon as they make any move."
"Understood host."
The two sides remained in a stalemate for who knows how long. The people of the Gray Rock Tribe were in the dark, while the people of the Green Mountain Tribe and the Stone Horn Tribe were in the light. They were more troublesome than the people of the Gray Rock Tribe.
"Host, under the autumn leaves!"
Suddenly the system sounded a reminder.
Meng Yuqing slapped Xuan's back suddenly.
The next second, Xuan rushed towards Qiu Ye like lightning. The orc carrying Qiu Ye was frightened and jumped aside.
Just as he moved away, a gray figure emerged from the ground, opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth, and bit towards the place where his hind legs were originally.
Because of Xuan's action, the orc carrying Qiu Ye jumped away in advance. The rat orc missed his bite and immediately shrank down, preparing to burrow into the ground to escape.
However, Xuan had already set his sights on this side and did not give him any chance at all. He stretched out his scimitar-like nails and grabbed directly, instantly digging into the opponent's flesh. The rat orc let out a scream of pain and struggled frantically.
Xuan immediately followed with his other claw, piercing into the mouse orc's body like a barb, preventing the opponent from breaking free.
The orcs of the Graystone Tribe are not strong in frontal combat. What they are best at is lurking underground and launching sneak attacks. As long as they do not actively launch an attack, one of them can even lurk less than three meters away from the orcs without being discovered.
In terms of lurking, they are more terrifying than the people of the Shuilin tribe, but the orcs of the Shuilin tribe are also good at head-on combat. The only thing they lack is speed on land.
Just as Xuan rushed out, Bo's tribesmen also let out a sharp roar and rushed to other locations in the protective circle.
"There's someone here!" they shouted.
It collided head-on with the people from the Graystone Tribe who had broken out of the ground, opened its mouth and bit the orcs from the Graystone Tribe. The people from the Graystone Tribe did not expect that anyone could discover their location, and they were bitten directly. Seeing this, the orcs from the nearby Green Mountain Tribe immediately went over to help subdue the orcs from the Graystone Tribe.
Their movements were like boiling oil dripping into water, and the people of the Graystone Tribe emerged from the ground and bit towards the nearest target.
If they missed their target, they would immediately burrow into the ground. The people from the Qingshan tribe and the Shijiao tribe had no way to deal with them because they had not discovered their location in advance.
The rat orc caught by Xuan was still struggling, his lower body was in the soil, and his upper body was tightly held by Xuan.
"Xuan, someone is coming to save him!" Seeing that the scene was in chaos and the roars of beasts were frequent, no one would notice him. Meng Yuqing no longer hinted but directly reminded Xuan.
Hearing Meng Yuqing's words, Xuan kicked the ground hard, used the force to jump up and pulled the rat orc out of the soil.
The rat orc let out a scream.
Xuan used his forelimbs to press the rat orc to the ground, supported his body and began to dodge the attacks of other rat orcs.
The people from the surrounding Qingshan tribe noticed the situation here and immediately came over to support Xuan.
Meng Yuqing had completely given up the idea of archery. Xuan was dodging left and right on the spot, and he was already a little unsteady in his sitting position. He even felt a little nauseous, but there was nothing he could do but try to keep himself fixed on Xuan's back.
