Chapter 546 The Hunt Begins



The orcs work from sunrise to sunset and rest at sunset to a large extent in coordination with the work and rest schedule of the sub-beasts. In the absence of sub-beasts, it is normal for orcs to hunt and travel at night.

As soon as he said this, many orcs who were dizzy and dazed with hunger became interested, and many of them stood up and prepared to form a team to go out hunting.

People who go out hunting can naturally eat the most food. After all, they are hunting and they naturally want to fill their own stomachs first before considering bringing food back for others.

"No." One of the leading orcs who had completed his evolution directly rejected the proposal.

He is the strongest among the three evolved orcs. He rarely speaks, but once he speaks, it represents the final decision of the team.

Many orcs who were ready to set off stopped and turned to look at him, but the orc who had completed the evolution had no intention of explaining at all.

After refusing, he closed his eyes and dozed off on the snow.

Those extremely hungry orcs didn't know what to do for a moment and could only look at the orc who suggested going hunting. That orc was also one of the leaders of this trip, and his strength was at the critical point of breakthrough, and he was only a step away from completing his evolution.

The orc who proposed the hunt opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but was gently pushed by the person next to him, and finally closed his mouth reluctantly.

This fully evolved orc is a member of the God Tribe, while he is just a member of a subordinate tribe.

Seeing that the only leader who wanted to go hunting stopped talking, the orcs whose stomachs were growling with hunger suddenly became a little restless.

There is a vague hierarchy in the north, and these leaders can get the most food even if they don't go out hunting.

Even one of the leaders felt hungry, not to mention the orcs who missed the last hunt and did not eat as much as the leader.

Seeing that many people were getting agitated, and the fully evolved orc from the "God" tribe still had no intention of speaking, another fully evolved orc from the "God" tribe stepped out and said, "Everyone, don't worry, listen to me."

Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, he said, "We lost quite a few people in the valley. Now our numbers are no match for the orcs from Qingshan City. If we continue to hunt separately, what if they attack us?"

"If we are spread out in numbers, it will be much easier for them to deal with us. We don't want anyone to starve, but this is for everyone's good."

"We've been outside Qingshan City for so long. You know how cunning those southern orcs are. We always come back from hunting with a few people missing."

After hearing his explanation, some orcs who had lost their minds due to hunger gradually calmed down, but some still stood there without moving.

The orc glanced at the orcs who hadn't moved, and seeing the unexplained glint in their eyes, he said, "Some people must be thinking about finding a few trustworthy people to leave with, just like those who quietly left before."

"Since there aren't many of you, you won't be a big target. Qingshan City won't necessarily notice you. On the contrary, if you follow our large group, you'll be easily targeted, and you'll be restricted from hunting and eating."

As soon as these words were spoken, some orcs either lowered their heads or turned their heads away. They must be the ones who had such thoughts.

The second orc leader didn't care at all and continued, "There are dozens of them, or just a few. They don't look like a big target, but we've been here for a long time. You should know that Qingshan City is watching all our actions."

"Do you think Qingshan City wouldn't know they left like this? There are so few of them, they might be dead somewhere now."

"Furthermore, you came out with us, but now you're quietly leaving. Do you still want to return to the north? Does your tribe still want to stay in the north?"

The leader's tone suddenly became extremely sinister. He spoke word by word, "Or do you think we can't even bring back any news?"

After saying this, he stopped talking and looked at those who were still standing one by one.

The orcs avoided his gaze, and after a long while, they sat down one by one.

Ten meters underground beneath their feet, a rat orc and a groundhog orc moved their ears, narrowed their eyes, and tiptoed away from the temporary resting place of the northern orcs.

The rat orcs left quietly. Except for the strongest evolved orc who suddenly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, no one else noticed anything unusual.

The snow lying flat on the grassland suddenly arched upwards. Xia and Xuan walked to the arched snow pile at the same time. After a while, a gray-skinned mouse orc jumped out from it, followed by a groundhog orc with bared front teeth and his head poked out of the snow.

Ji Heyang and the others also gathered around. After the two orcs saw that everyone who could take charge had arrived, the rat orc nudged the earthen rat orc and gestured to him. The earthen rat orc nodded and took two steps forward before speaking, "We know where they've landed. They're in very bad shape. Many orcs are so hungry they want to go out hunting, but they're stopped by the most powerful orc among them."

"There were also disagreements. Some people seemed to want to disobey orders and go hunting or leave the main group, but they were persuaded and threatened by another orc to stay."

"They're probably afraid we'll intercept them, so they don't dare split up to hunt. I guess they'll all hunt together tomorrow during the day. I'm afraid they won't split up their numbers again before they leave the south."

After making a brief summary, the groundhog orc repeated to Xia and the others what he had heard from the northern orcs.

After listening to this, Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "The strongest orc and the orc who came out to persuade them later should be from the 'God' tribe."

Xia nodded and said, "I think so too." After that, he turned to look at Ji, "The best opportunity seems to be tonight."

If we don't take action tonight, it would be equivalent to giving them a night's rest for nothing. If we hesitate for a while longer, they will almost recover after hunting and having a meal.

The way to deal with an enemy is to strike him while he is weak.

Xia planned to take advantage of the fact that the northern orcs were tired, hungry and frightened and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Ji slowly grinned. The scar across his nose didn't look hideous but rather had a unique charm. He said, "The hunt has begun."
