Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan in surprise and cast a puzzled look at him. Xuan didn't say anything, but just shook his head at him and motioned him to continue watching.
He turned his gaze back to the four little orcs, three of whom were sniffing the surroundings with their noses twitching rapidly.
The other one had retreated to the back, raised its head and began to roar loudly. This behavior was similar to warning the other party that there were adult orcs from its own tribe nearby, and they would hear the roar and rush over, so as to deter the other party.
Among the little orcs who were smelling the scent, one of them suddenly changed color and shouted, "Run! I smell the scent of a white-spotted beast. Go find an adult orc."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran away. The other three little orcs also turned around and ran away immediately. They just caught the prey and gave it away without any hesitation.
Seeing them running away, Xuan stopped shaking the branches and jumped directly under the tree. He changed into a beast form in the air, used the trunk to cushion his impact, and then landed safely.
This series of actions made Meng Yuqing's scalp tingle. He was really showing off.
Afterwards, Xuan roared directly after landing. The roar was much louder and more intimidating than the roar of the little orc just now.
The little orc who was fleeing madly did not stop immediately after hearing the roar, but turned back to look in the direction where the sound came from.
Only when they were sure that the sound came from the direction they had just escaped did they slowly stop and hesitate whether to go back.
After all, if a white-spotted beast appeared in the patrol area, they would be safest if they stayed with adult beastmen.
"It's Xuan's voice. He's calling us over."
"He's back? Should we go over there?"
"But there are white-spotted beasts there."
"With Xuan here, it's okay. It will take some time for the orcs to arrive. It's safest for us to stay with him."
"Let's go, maybe the white spot beast will be scared away by him."
Xuan hadn't stopped roaring yet. Hearing his voice, the four little orcs quickened their pace and ran towards this side.
Meng Yuqing was sitting on the tree watching the four little orcs who had run out of sight and ran back the same way they came. He was still a little wary, but not as panicked as before.
Xuan's voice began to gradually become smaller, and he sat there waiting for the four little orcs.
When the little beastmen saw Xuan, their eyes immediately lit up. They quickened their pace and ran over, surrounding Xuan and rubbing against him affectionately.
"Xuan, there is a white spot beast here." said a little orc.
"Yes, a large wild beast has entered our patrol area and we need to drive it away." Another little orc put his forelimbs on Xuan's front legs.
"I know, it's a dead white-spotted beast. I carried it back. Don't be afraid." Xuan stood up and took the four little orcs to the tree where they had hidden before.
"Wait a moment." After saying that, he jumped directly onto the tree and came in front of Meng Yuqing.
Meng Yuqing immediately turned around and let Xuan carry him down from the tree.
When he reached the ground, Meng Yuqing found that he was surrounded by fur again.
A small beastman came over and looked at him carefully and said, "It's you, Meng Yuqing, a very powerful sub-beast."
The other three immediately came up and looked at him curiously. These little orcs usually followed the orcs in training. They had only seen Meng Yuqing once in the evening of the herbal medicine promotion day. The rest of the time they had heard rumors about him from others and knew that Meng Yuqing had made great contributions to the tribe.
As they continued to approach, Meng Yuqing kept backing away in order to suppress the urge to rub them.
Then he bumped into Xuan's front legs, lost his balance, and sat directly on the back of Xuan's paw.
He touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Hello."
Xuan was in a good mood, and his tail was wagging gently. After Meng Yuqing sat on his front paws, he even wrapped his tail around the front and put it into Meng Yuqing's hand.
When he was outside, he discovered that Meng Yuqing liked to hug his tail when she slept.
The little beastmen circled Meng Yuqing twice, then looked up at Xuan, "Xuan, where is the white-spotted beast you brought back?"
"It's over there, go and drag it over here." Xuan raised his other front paw that was not being sat on and pointed in the direction.
The little beastmen immediately ran in the direction where the white-spotted beast was released.
Meng Yuqing held Xuan's tail and looked at the little orc who came and went like the wind in a daze.
Seeing him like this, Xuan lowered his head and said softly, "The four of them are little beastmen without fathers."
"How old are they?" Hearing this, Meng Yuqing was stunned and looked up at Xuan.
"One is twelve, one is eleven, and two are ten." Xuan continued, "The fathers of the twelve-year-old and the eleven-year-old died ten years ago while defending the tribe. The fathers of the two ten-year-old orcs were injured while hunting and bled to death. If you hadn't brought the hemostatic and blood-generating herbs, Luo would have died like them."
Meng Yuqing held Xuan's tail and stroked it unconsciously, looking at the little orc who was dragging the white-spotted beast with great effort.
At this time, the grass not far away was shaking, and an adult caracal orc came running towards him at high speed with an anxious look on his face.
After seeing Xuan and Meng Yuqing, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "I heard the cubs roaring."
"It's okay." Xuan shook his head and said, "I saw them hunting, so I hid and waited for them to succeed. Then I tested them and they reacted well."
Hearing this, the Caracal Orc breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
After saying that, he looked at the two of them and asked, "Why are you here?"
"We just came back from the salt cave." Xuan said.
Just as he finished speaking, Meng Yuqing suddenly exerted force with the hand that was holding Xuan's tail. Xuan was stunned by the grab and looked down at him in confusion.
Meng Yuqing raised his head and looked at Xuan with a little panic, opening and closing his mouth.
"I still have the salt stone. I haven't taken it out yet."
Afraid that Xuan wouldn't understand, he deliberately exaggerated his mouth shapes and spoke each word to Xuan.
Xuan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and even his tail stiffened instantly.
At this time, the voice of the Caracal Orc came over, "Did you bring back the salt? Why didn't I see it?"
Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan stiffly, not daring to turn around and meet the gaze of the caracal orc.
Xuan also lowered his head and looked at Meng Yuqing with a slightly panicked expression.
When people are pushed to the limit, their ability to make up stories always increases.
"We...um, it's placed far away. We'll go get it right away." Meng Yuqing said in a dry voice.
Xuan Ye immediately responded, "Ah, yes, we left it far away, afraid that these little guys would find any traces. Oh, and we brought back a white spot beast, and the little guys are dragging it over here. Do you want to go and take a look? You'll be surprised."
"Yeah, yeah, that's right. You go over and watch them, and we'll go get the salt." Meng Yuqing followed Xuan's words.
