He reached out and picked up Xing, who had transformed into a humanoid and was playing with a toy, and shook him twice. Then he let out a long breath and said, "Grow up quickly and help me with things. One kid is not enough."
After joking, he put Xing back on the animal skin rug and began to think about who to blame for this matter.
He went through all the young people in Qingshan City in his mind, and then the picture froze on Lian's face.
Resting his chin on his hand, Xia muttered to himself, "Xun has now broken through to the level of an ordinary orc. If all goes well, after dealing with those escapees, we should be able to subdue most of the surrounding tribes. Next year, we'll definitely be building a sea city with the Bird Island and Blue Water tribes. For now, I'll let you practice your skills at the Qingshan Market."
After saying that, Xia nodded, very satisfied with his decision.
He stood up and opened the office door.
When he appeared outside the office, he had transformed into the majestic lord of Qingshan City again.
Just when Xia handed the task of receiving those people to Lian, under the pretext of training, some unexpected people came to the market.
The orcs' aura was extremely powerful, and the sub-beasts' eyes also revealed a hint of ferocity.
When they appeared at the entrance of the market, the orcs from Qingshan City who were there to receive them subconsciously tensed up.
Most of the people who greeted and guided the people at the market gate were young and lively orcs. Everyone took turns to come during the reception. Looking at this group of strange and powerful people, Lie stopped the tribesman who was about to step forward to greet and guide them, and whispered, "I'll go."
"It's a strange tribe." Someone whispered.
"Yeah." Lie responded softly, then walked towards those people.
They were standing at the entrance of the market looking around. It seemed that this was their first time at the market and they were still a little confused about the situation.
Normally, before the reception team came forward, other tribes that had been there would have told them about the procedures and rules for entering the Qingshan Market. However, the aura of this group of people looked so formidable that no other tribe dared to step forward this time.
Some weaker tribes didn't even dare to approach the market entrance. Even when passing by them, they quickened their pace and didn't dare to look around.
Fortunately, those people also realized that they were causing trouble for others at the market entrance and moved to the side.
Lie felt a little relieved when he saw their actions.
When people from other tribes saw Lie walking towards them, they nodded slightly to him.
"Is this your first time at Qingshan Market?" Lie asked when he was ten meters away from them.
He has transformed into a beast because the pressure from the leader of the other party is too great.
"Yes, this is our first time here." said the leading orc.
"Come with me, I'm the receptionist in Qingshan Market." Lie said.
Those people looked tough, but they were surprisingly obedient and followed Lie without asking any questions.
When Deng Lie brought them to the reception room, they obediently cooperated and completed all the procedures.
After bringing them to the stall and explaining the precautions, Lie did not return to the market entrance, but went to find Xia, who was on duty at the market today.
"The orcs are very strong? They give you a strong sense of oppression? The sub-beasts they brought also look very fierce?" Xia Ranglie said while sitting on a chair.
Lie's strength is second only to Xuan, Ya and Lian among the younger generation.
He grew up with Yang, but Yang was not a kind father. There were not many people in the tribe who could make Lie feel oppressed.
But those people wouldn't scare Lie for no reason.
"Yeah, but that might also be because they haven't really restrained their aura." Lie frowned and thought for a moment before continuing, "As for the sense of oppression, while it's strong, it's not to the degree that you, Xuan, and my father gave me. That leading orc is more like... he has a reckless aura."
Xia tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "If this kind of temperament is from the Southern Continent, we should know it."
"Uncle Xia suspects that he is from the Northern Continent?" Lie instantly lost his composure. Someone from the Northern Continent had sneaked into their market!
"Not necessarily. Their attitude towards following the procedures sounds pretty good." Xia said with his eyes downcast. "Anyway, I'll go take a look. You go notify Fei and then have the flying orcs take Yang over. The guards will also be deployed to their stall to protect the people nearby."
"Okay, I understand." Lie said solemnly.
The two left the office, Xia went straight to the stall where those people were, and Lie went to the patrol team's rest area to find the flying orc and asked him to take him to find Fei.
Xia walked slowly and looked no different from any other person strolling through the market.
Not many people had seen Xia in the market, but some, especially those who worked in Qingshan City, saw Xia strolling over and greeted him with a smile.
There was even a particularly enthusiastic tribe that directly stuffed two cabbages into Xia's hands.
Holding the cabbage, Xia said thank you. After walking away, he looked at the cabbage in his hand that had been washed clean of dirt and was very juicy, feeling a little amused. If he was not mistaken, this should be the cabbage produced in their field.
But after all, it was someone else's thoughtful gesture, so I just peeled off a piece of vegetable leaf and put it in my mouth.
Hmm, it tastes pretty good.
When he was almost at the target stall, Xia was suddenly stopped by someone. He turned around and saw another person working in Qingshan City, but he was just an underage orc who looked only about ten years old.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Xia reached out and touched the little orc's head and asked.
The little orc whispered, "The guy at that stall over there looks tough. City Lord, don't go over there. My father and my sub-father won't let me."
Xia smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm very powerful. If they are bad guys, I can help you stop them."
He stuffed the cabbage in his hand into the little orc's hand, then looked at the little orc's parents and said, "I'll go check the situation. You guys be careful."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, shook off the water, and walked over there.
The stalls where those fierce-looking people were located were very deserted, but they didn't care. They just sat there and watched the people coming and going in the market.
Xia walked to their stall and looked down at the things they displayed. At the same time, he felt that the other party was looking at him, and of course there were also some eyes around him.
"What is this?" Xia asked, pointing to a stone box as big as two shoe boxes.
He heard movement in the stone box.
The leading orc came out and opened the stone box.
Then Xia wrinkled his nose, "Bugs?"
"They can be eaten. Put them in a stone box and throw leaves in it for them to eat, and they'll survive. Bury them in the snow for winter, and when they freeze to death, you can use them as food. If you have enough food, keep them in the box and they'll live for a year," said the leading orc. "They can also keep giving birth to insects."
