The people from the Shuilin tribe came very quickly. One could see ripples in the ditch, and soon they reached the land where everyone was settling.
The surface of the water was broken, revealing an uneven back, followed by ochre-colored eyes with a cold glow and a huge mouth.
A crocodile over twenty meters long emerged from the water. He spoke slowly, his voice cold and hoarse, "Xia, Xi, you're here. We're ready. Once you've rested, we can set off at any time."
"Okay, the environment here is a little bit difficult for our people to adapt to. We will take a day off today and set off tomorrow morning." Xia Hexi looked at each other and said.
"No problem for me. If you are hungry, just go hunting by yourselves. By the way, do those cubs you brought need us to provide food?" The crocodile orc looked at Xia.
"No need. Since I dared to bring them out, they have the ability to take care of themselves. Jia, you don't have to worry about them."
Xia shook his head and looked at the little orcs behind him who had recovered some spirit, with relief in his eyes. They adapted faster than he had imagined.
Jia followed his gaze and saw that the little orcs were in good condition and looked well-fed.
They gathered together and surrounded their companions who were in slightly worse condition, carefully observing the surrounding environment. They did not show any signs of laziness or relaxation just because they were there and there were adult orcs around them.
“They’re pretty good.”
"Yes." Xia answered with some pride after hearing what Jia said.
"He also said that your black cub is very powerful and makes them feel threatened." As he said this, his eyes fell on Xuan, and Xuan keenly noticed that someone was looking at him.
He suddenly turned his head and looked towards A with sharp eyes, and their gazes collided in the air.
"Very impressive." A withdrew his gaze.
"He has surpassed Yang." Xia looked at Jia and said seriously.
As Xuan's father, he knew Xuan's strength very well.
He knew that Xuan was much more than what he showed now, otherwise he would not have let him run so far away from the tribe alone when he was still a minor, and accidentally saved the little beast of the Xi family.
Especially as someone who had fought against the Shadow Beast ten years ago, he, Li, and the orcs who had fought against the Shadow Beast together back then, they were all unable to be sure how powerful the adult Xuan was.
. . . . . .
At dawn the next day, in the jungle where land and water intertwined, the figure of a giant beast lay on the ground, rising and falling slightly.
Xuan's ears moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Shuilin tribe.
Xia woke up just a little later than Xuan. He sat up and followed Xuan's gaze.
"They're coming." Xuan looked up at the sky, "It's almost dawn."
His voice was loud, and the other orcs who were resting also stood up.
All the people from the Shuilin tribe who were preparing to participate in the encirclement and suppression had followed A to the tribe gate.
Jia had already gone into the water and was swimming towards this side. Xuan was awakened by the sound of him going into the water.
"We're ready." Jia surfaced, his eyes fixed on Xuan.
Xuan scratched his ear with his hind legs without caring and turned to look at Xia.
Xia stood up, stretched, shook off the grass debris on his body, and looked behind him.
All the orcs of the Qingshan tribe have woken up and are ready to set off.
Xiye nodded towards Xia, "People from our tribe can set off at any time."
"Okay, let's go. You're most familiar with this place. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Ever since they came to plunder our tribe last time, we have been on guard against them and paying attention to their movements. Especially after you sent people to tell us that you wanted to encircle and suppress them together, I specially sent people out to investigate their location."
A turned his head and looked at the direction where the sun was rising. "Over there, the tribesmen told me that they smelled the scent of their activities over there."
"Then let's go over there and look for it first, what do you think, Xi?" After listening to the information provided by Jia, Xia looked at Xi.
"No problem, let's go over there first." Xi had no objection to their suggestion.
After making the decision, A turned around and swam to the front to lead the way without saying anything more.
The people of the Shuilin tribe followed his actions and went into the water.
It was not until then that Xuan discovered that the number of people Jia brought out was more than fifty, but should be seventy.
It seems that the Shuilin tribe really hates these roaming orcs.
Xia and Xi raised their feet and followed them walking on the land.
"Father beast." Xuan took two quick steps and stood side by side with Xia.
"What's wrong?" Xia looked at Xuan with some confusion.
"I don't quite understand why the wandering orcs choose to stay near the Water Forest Tribe and plunder them. The environment here doesn't offer any advantages to them."
This problem also troubled other people who came to the Shuilin tribe for the first time.
Xia did not answer Xuan immediately, but looked at Jia who was leading the way in front.
Without even turning his head, Jia said, "Just tell me if they ask. Even if they don't know now, they will know after a few days of contact."
After hearing what A said, Xia no longer bothered about analyzing the other person's strengths and weaknesses in front of the other person and teaching his own son how to defeat the other person.
Many interested orcs quickened their pace to get closer to Xia, especially those who came to the Shuilin tribe for the first time and came into contact with the orcs of the Shuilin tribe for the first time, and their ears pricked up.
Under everyone's gaze, Xia spoke slowly.
"Although their beast forms can survive on both land and water, sub-beast forms cannot. Sub-beast forms cannot live in water for long periods of time."
"Moreover, most of the orcs in their tribe can't run as fast as us on land in their beast forms. When fighting orcs on land, they need to rely more on ambushes. Some orcs can't even leave the water for too long."
"Their beast forms aren't like ours, they can't protect their sub-beasts well on land. It's not convenient for them to escape with their sub-beasts."
"As for the sub-beasts, they mostly live on land. It would be easy for roaming orcs to attack them when they are least prepared, and it would be difficult for them to catch up and snatch the sub-beasts back."
"But as long as the sub-beasts run into the water, even if there is only one orc, they will be absolutely safe."
"You've noticed, right? They always appear without making any noise, making it hard for us to spot them. If we don't spot them in time before they get close and attack, we're basically halfway done. If we're dragged into the water, we're doomed."
Xia spoke to them patiently and carefully, and Xuan nodded thoughtfully, "I understand. Their strengths and weaknesses are too obvious, making them easy to target."
At this time, Jia also slowly spoke, "Did you all hear what Patriarch Xia said? Think carefully about how to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses in battle."
At this time, everyone discovered that among the seventy people brought by A, twenty were young orcs who had just reached adulthood.
Looking at the two cunning old friends in front of him, Rhino sighed in his heart, it was a good thing that when he was selecting the people, he also chose ten young orcs who had just reached adulthood and had potential, and also brought his own son out, otherwise it would have been a big loss.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the young orcs from his tribe following behind him. They also looked thoughtful after being taught, and nodded with satisfaction, not bad, not bad.
