Qingyang and the others believed that the Bald Eagle Tribe had resorted to some trickery, and the atmosphere in the cave was heavy.
"Could it be... that it was done by the orcs from the West?" Lu Lan expressed another guess.
The orcs all looked at him. It was obvious that Lu Lan was thinking deeper. He thought of possibilities that Chiyu and the others could not think of.
"The West?" Chiyu pondered.
"That's possible..." Ji Mu immediately understood what Lu Lan meant. It was indeed possible that the orcs from the west wanted to alienate them.
Sheng Ye's gaze shifted to Bei Yan, waiting for him to speak. Ye Luoxing also looked at Bei Yan, but he was lost in thought and said nothing.
Feng He did not participate in their affairs. After a long while, Sheng Ye finally spoke up: "Look, it's time to go and meet them!"
Everyone's expression was serious, and only then did Bei Yan turn to look at her.
"If you have something to do, just go and do it. You don't have to stay here!" Ye Luoxing spoke immediately. She was not sure what was going on.
"No rush..." Bei Yan continued, his gaze fixed on the distance. "Let's wait and see."
He was calm and composed, stroking his index finger with his thumb, obviously having something in mind.
Everything in the cave remained the same, but the outer city was slowly in turmoil. It was not until the afternoon that Bei Yan took Sheng Ye and the others out of the cave.
When he left, he said to Lu Lan, "Protect her well."
Lu Lan nodded in agreement. Feng He looked at their departing backs and felt more and more that this matter would not end so easily.
In the evening, when Ye Luoxing returned to the wooden cabin after a busy day, he heard another story from Man Ling.
"Lolo, five or six high-level beasts died in the outer city today. Everyone says that it was done by the Flamingo tribe. Do you know what happened?" Man Ling was sitting in Ye Luoxing's wooden house. Lu Lan and the others were outside. Only Feng He and Di Kuli were there, so she leaned close to Ye Luoxing's ear and asked in a low voice.
Ye Luoxing raised an eyebrow in confusion: "Five or six?"
Man Ling nodded and said, "Yes, don't you know? Many high-level beasts selected in the Overlord Tournament died."
Ye Luoxing frowned slowly again.
Yue Shang was surprised: "There were only two during the day, how many more have appeared so quickly?"
The death rate was too fast. Those were selected high-level beasts. There were too few orcs in Midnight City that could kill them. Moreover, such a thing happened during the day and spread. Logically, the defense of the outer city should have been stricter, and they themselves would have been careful. What was going on?
After Man Ling left, Ye Luoxing walked to the door and asked Lu Lan, "Is Bei Yan back?"
Lu Lan shook her head. Ye Luoxing couldn't help but feel uneasy. She began to wonder if it was because Bei Yan and his men had captured the orcs hiding in the western city, so they launched a revenge. Was it the western orcs who did it? Or was it Kochas? Or was it someone else...
At this moment, in the big cave on the main mountain of the inner city, Bei Yan had just left with Sheng Ye and other orcs.
Kochas watched Beiyan and the others leave, his face darkening. Clearly, he wasn't entirely happy...
Above an inconspicuous roof in the inner city.
A group of male orcs wrapped in animal skins sat or stood. The leading orc looked towards the main peak and raised his lips: "The hunt has begun~"
The second day arrived quickly. In the early morning, Bei Yan met with Lu Lan, took Ji Mu and Qing Yang away, and left Chi Yu to help Lu Lan protect Ye Luoxing.
Ye Luoxing had just gotten up and finished washing up when Man Ling rushed in in a hurry.
"Lolo! Something big happened in the outer city! A female was injured in the outer city last night, and the female with her was kidnapped!" Man Ling had finished her sentence before she even got close. She and Di Kuli all looked unhappy.
Ye Luoxing was shocked when he heard her words: "What? Who did it?"
Feng He and Xi Lin were so shocked that they stopped what they were doing, and Feng He and Yue Shang couldn't help but feel worried.
Man Ling glanced at Xilin, then looked outside, and lowered his voice to Ye Luoxing, "They say it's the Flamingo Tribe."
"How is that possible?" Xilin asked back, obviously not believing it. Then he realized that his attitude was wrong and immediately shut up.
Man Ling continued, "That's what the two female companion beasts said. They said they saw it clearly, it was Flamingo Beast who did it, and now their companions can't be found. They're all worried sick. The outer city is in chaos right now, so you should... make your own plans."
Man Ling originally wanted to tell her not to leave the inner city, but later on, she herself began to doubt the Flamingo Tribe.
The Flamingo Tribe didn't have a good reputation in Midnight City, something Man Ling had noticed. However, after careful consideration, she felt that there was no need for them to do this. After all, they already had Luo Xing, and they held an absolute advantage. There was no need to cause trouble for themselves...
However, Man Ling was still alert in her heart. Even when Feng He swept out of the house, she couldn't help but hold Ye Luoxing's hand.
Xilin felt uneasy, afraid that Ye Luoxing would misunderstand something. Just at this moment, Lu Lan and the others walked in from outside the house, and Xilin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Lan looked at Ye Luoxing, hesitant to speak, and finally said: "Today...are you still going to Dongshan Peak?"
Ye Luoxing and Man Ling looked over together, and Ye Luoxing asked, "Where are Beiyan and the others?"
Lu Lan replied: "Probably in the outer city."
Ye Luoxing replied firmly with one word: "Go!"
She packed up her things, picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite, then walked outside.
Man Ling wanted to stop her but didn't. She just looked at her back. Feng He followed closely.
After Ye Luoxing said hello to Man Ling, the few flamingos that were left behind carried her, Lu Lan and other animals and flew towards the outer city.
When passing above the main street, Ye Luoxing also heard the discussions coming from the beast group below.
"The news is spreading like wildfire outside the city? Could it really be the Flamingo Tribe's doing?"
"I didn't quite believe it at first, but so many orcs saw it, it couldn't be fake..."
"Yeah, and those two female partners wouldn't lie to us. They're injured!"
"But I always feel that this matter is not that simple..."
"What's there to doubt?! I see the Beast King selection is approaching, and most of the orcs in the city support the Bald Eagle Tribe, so they're probably anxious. I heard that those high-level beasts that died all had conflicts with the Flamingo Beasts, and those two females didn't like the Flamingo Tribe either. Their partners even had conflicts with the patrol team..."
"Everyone knows the reputation of the Flamingo tribe in the city. Aren't they just a group of bad-tempered southern beasts who will kill orcs at any time? They also killed orcs from the Bald Eagle tribe in the Overlord Arena before, and their methods were very cruel..." Most of these orcs were on the Bald Eagle side, so what they said was very unpleasant.
Lu Lan and Chi Yu were very dissatisfied with the discussions below. Chi Yu almost rushed down to teach them a lesson, but Lu Lan held him back.
Lu Lan turned to Ye Luoxing worriedly and said, "A Luo, we won't do such a thing. We will prove it to you."
Ye Luoxing glanced at Lu Lan but didn't respond. Instead, Feng He said, "Everyone in the city is saying this now. You'd better explain it clearly."
