After a while, Meng Yuqing vaguely heard someone shouting and clearly felt that Xuan had quickened his pace again. Soon, the sound gradually became clearer.
"Xuan, you're back. Why were you out for so long? We were all worried about you."
"Yes! Xuan, other people usually only come back after six or seven days when they go out for adult hunting. You've been out for almost a month. If you don't come back, the tribe leader will organize people to go look for you."
"Wow! What a huge creature! Is this your prey? Xuan, you are so amazing!"
"What are you holding in your mouth? Is it something delicious? Let me have a taste."
"I want to be an adult soon and hunt as an adult too. I can't wait to go out on adventures!"
Inside the woven bag, Meng Yuqing could only hear several different young men's voices echoing around her, full of energy. As she listened, the voice of the one who wanted to taste what Xuan was holding in his mouth grew closer. Then, she felt Xuan take a step back, dodging the other person and letting her down. Only Xuan's voice could be heard.
"Mu, this isn't edible. All of you, step back and don't scare him." Xuan lowered his head and nudged the woven bag. "Meng Yuqing, do you want to come out?"
Meng Yuqing was struggling over whether to show up and let the greedy boy know that there was a person in the bag, not food. When she heard Xuan's questioning voice, she was too lazy to hesitate and opened the bag and stuck her head out.
Wow! So many big animals! A lion, two leopards, and a black bear. They're all slightly smaller than Xuan. The one who said he wanted to taste me was the big black bear. He was the closest.
The four large animals, plus Xuan, made a total of five, surrounding Meng Yuqing. Xuan was fine, and one of them sat quietly. The others were extremely curious about Meng Yuqing. They tried desperately to get closer, but were all pushed back.
"It's a sub-beast! Oh my god! Xuan, where did you find it?" a leopard exclaimed
"Xuan! Did you go to another tribe and steal a sub-beast? That's amazing! You actually succeeded in stealing it!" This is another leopard with a really big imagination.
"Ahhh! Our tribe is going to have a new sub-beast! Xuan, you are so awesome. You hunted such a big beast and brought a sub-beast back to the tribe safely!" This is the big black bear. He was so excited that he sat down on the ground and clapped his hands.
"Good news, good news! Xuan is back! Xuan hunted a very big beast and stole a sub-beast from another tribe! - Good news! Good news! -" This was the big lion who had already run to the tribe to report the news.
"............." This is Meng Yuqing who is speechless.
Xuan took Meng Yuqing towards the tribe. The three big animals who stayed behind followed them, coming over to look at Meng Yuqing from time to time.
Meng Yuqing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and hid in the bag. Noticing Meng Yuqing's avoidance, Xuan glared at them fiercely and suppressed the big animal that was about to move.
When they reached the entrance of the tribe, Xuan put Meng Yuqing down. He climbed out of the bag and watched the four giant beasts turn back into human form. The giant beasts that came out to greet Xuan looked very young in human form. Each of them was over 190 cm tall, with smooth muscles and eight abdominal muscles. They all looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The adult orcs of the patrol team were already standing at the door. When they saw Xuan coming back, the leading orc, who was nearly 2 meters tall, walked over, looked Xuan up and down, reached out and patted Xuan on the shoulder, and said with relief.
"Good boy, you're back safely, and you hunted such a big prey. It seems that among the younger generation, you are the boss!"
After saying this, he turned to look at Meng Yuqing and smiled kindly. Although it looked a little scary, it should be kind, right? Meng Yuqing thought uncertainly, and gave him a formal smile, then shrank back behind Xuan. There were too many strangers around, and to be honest, he was a little socially anxious.
The people around him saw his actions and smiled knowingly at Xuan, especially the young orcs who followed him back, all of them winking at Xuan. Unfortunately, Meng Yuqing, who had a social anxiety disorder, kept his head down and didn't see it, otherwise he would have been furious. He didn't mean that!
Xuan scratched his nose with his hand, ignored their teasing looks, turned around, grabbed the shadow beast, and said to the teenagers around him.
"Come with me and carry it in. It's too big for a human figure. Don't rub it against the ground and damage the leather."
"Just carry it to the square. Dan shouted so loudly when he ran in just now that the whole tribe probably knows you're back. The chief should be waiting for you in the square. Go quickly. Your father-in-law is very worried about you. We also have to continue patrolling. We won't talk much more." The orc leading the patrol team said to Xuan, and then called on the other members of the patrol team to follow him and leave.
Mu took the lead and walked to the side of the shadow beast, lifted up one side, and the other two young beastmen, Lie and Dong, also walked to the back of the shadow beast and opposite to Mu, and lifted up the same way as Mu just did.
Xuan stood at the front, carrying the shadow beast's head. Meng Yuqing followed beside him, wanting to help, but was stopped by Xuan. What a joke! How could they ask a sub-beast to help carry such a large beast? Did they even have to save face as an orc?
The orcs moved quickly, and soon the five of them arrived at the square. The square was very large, about the size of five or six football fields. There was a platform built with stones and wood in the middle, and quite a few people were already standing in front of it.
Standing in the front was an orc who looked to be in his 30s. He was very tall and strong, with light brown hair and a leopard-patterned fur skirt. Next to him stood a man who was a head shorter, with black hair and dark eyes, and a delicate and gentle appearance. His eyes were fixed on Xuan, filled with concern and tenderness.
