The tribes in the hunting area were unwilling to become like those who were rescued, with numb eyes and unable to see a ray of light.
They had clearly arrived in Qingshan City, survived, their injuries had healed, and their bodies were slowly recovering, but they always shrank their bodies and dared not look other people in the eye.
When they are assigned tasks, they do them numbly like machines. If no one takes the initiative to talk to them, they may not speak a word for the entire day.
Even speaking louder to them can scare them.
Only when they are eating do they seem to come alive, with a faint light in their eyes, but they are also very cautious when eating.
At the beginning, they only ate a little bit of the food allocated to them each time and hid the rest.
If it weren't for the hot weather and someone passing by where they lived and smelled a foul odor, and the Qingshan City Lord's partner Qiu Ye personally led people to check and inquire, they probably wouldn't have known that these people didn't finish their food.
Even when the people from Qingshan City cleared away the smelly and obviously rotten food, they all looked reluctant, but did not dare to say or ask anything. The light in their eyes just faded away little by little.
Fortunately, Qiu Ye's talent for making people let down their guard and get close to each other played a big role in this. He patiently explained and comforted them.
When the tribes in the hunting area saw them like this, they felt sad.
They were not a powerful tribe originally, otherwise they would not have been bullied by the fugitives from the three scattered tribes and forced to take the risk and hide near Qingshan City.
The largest tribe among them had only about 500 people.
If people from the north really want to come and arrest someone, they will definitely be the easiest targets.
Xia accepted all the people sent by the hunting area tribe without any hesitation, and then threw them all to Yang and Ji.
This action means that he will not treat these people differently just because they are not from Qingshan City or Ji. They will train together with the people from Qingshan City.
The prison for holding prisoners of war was almost completed. Since all the orcs were restrained into human form and had heavy shackles on their hands and feet, the walls did not need to be too high; more than twenty meters would be enough.
Therefore, it was built very quickly, and the main labor force was the prisoners of war themselves.
The wall was very thick, and Xia had inlaid a lot of broken glass on the top of the wall, densely packed. If anyone wanted to escape over the wall, they had to be prepared to have their feet pierced and bleeding.
Moreover, even orcs would not dare to run out without their beast form. Wearing shackles also limits the flexibility of their human form to a certain extent. The wild beasts outside alone are enough to make them die.
The prison was divided into the Sub-Beast Prison and the Orc Prison, which were not far apart. When the prison was completed, the orc prisoners saw their sub-beasts being driven into the other prison, and they looked at the people of Qingshan City with red eyes, hatred flashing in their eyes.
An orc roared angrily, "How could you treat them like this!?"
Hearing this, Jing showed a surprised expression, then looked at the orc with a slightly cold look in his eyes. However, before he could say anything, Ya pressed the orc to the ground.
He said, "Who are you to ask? Who are you from the Thorn Tribe to ask? You speak as if there are no sub-beasts among your slaves."
"How dare you ask such a question? Do you dare to look at those sub-beasts who have been tortured by you and have lost limbs? Do you dare to say this to their faces? Do you think they will rush over and tear you to pieces?"
"Compared to you, we are really too merciful."
The orc was pinned to the ground by Ya and could not move no matter how hard he tried. He could only stare blankly at the sub-beasts who were queuing up in a long line on the other side and approaching the prison gate. Finally, he gave up all struggle.
Ya looked at the orc prisoners calmly, then said, "Drive them all in."
He didn't know whether the rescued sub-beast slaves would tear the orc to pieces after hearing his words, but he knew that the sub-beasts in Qingshan City would definitely rush up and tear the orc to pieces.
They will bravely take up arms and protect their tribes like orcs.
All prisoners of war were imprisoned and began their days of forced labor.
The daily tasks were very heavy, but as long as they completed the daily tasks, they would be able to get enough food. Although it was not very good, it was better than the slaves in the Thorn Tribe who treated even rotten food as treasures.
It started raining at sea. Meng Yuqing closed the shells, leaving only a ten-centimeter-wide gap for ventilation. The rain was heavy and the wind was strong, and the entire sea surface was turbulent.
From time to time, they were lifted high up by the waves and then suddenly fell down. If they were ordinary shells, they would have capsized long ago, but this shell was very strong. No matter how rough the waves were or how big the waves were, it never capsized at sea.
However, Xuan and Meng Yuqing are not feeling well in this situation either.
Xuan changed into a beast shape and circled Meng Yuqing. Meng Yuqing also leaned against Xuan tightly, holding onto the fur on Xuan's waist.
The wind and waves were getting stronger and stronger. It was clearly noon, but the sky was dark as if it was the end of the world.
Meng Yuqing couldn't help but ask the system, "This...could it be that the 'God' is causing trouble, that's why it's like this?"
"No, the weather at sea is changeable. This is a natural situation." The system replied.
Hearing it say this, Meng Yuqing felt slightly relieved. He then turned to look at Xuan and said, "The system says this is natural weather, not something created by 'God'."
Xuan nodded and said, "That's good."
After saying this, he looked outside through the ten-centimeter gap.
After a long moment, he spoke again, "Is this the power of nature? It's far more powerful than 'God'."
His eyes revealed some confusion. "If the mainland wants to deal with 'God', it can actually do it directly."
"Hmm." Meng Yuqing leaned against Xuan and said softly, "This is just a natural weather phenomenon, and it's so powerful. If the continent were to unleash a full-scale natural disaster, God wouldn't be able to defeat Him."
"But we will all die in disasters, not just humans, but also wild animals." Xuan said softly, "Floods, droughts, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions."
"What you said are all natural disasters that will occur in nature. If He wants to kill the 'God' personally, there will definitely be more than these." Meng Yuqing said.
Xuan nodded, not quite understanding. "He doesn't want all living beings to be buried with 'God', so he has been looking for a way to deal with 'God' while saving all living beings, right?"
