The team quickly arrived at the outer city. Before they could fly towards the East Mountain Peak, Ye Luoxing and his team saw Bei Yan and other orcs being blocked at the gate of the inner city by the beasts from the outer city. All the orcs raised their arms and shouted at them, as if they were ready to start a fight at any time.
One of the male beasts, with wounds on his face and red, wet eyes, shouted the loudest, "You bunch of southern beasts, quickly hand over our mates! If we don't see our mates today, no matter who you are, we will tear your faces off!"
"Call out our mates! Damn Flamingo Tribe, you disgusting beasts from the South should get out of the North!"
"Yes! Hand over your partner! Get out of the North!"
This group of male beasts who watched their mates being snatched away by the flamingos were extremely angry at this moment. If they had not been concerned about the power and status of the flamingos in the beast city, they would have rushed up to fight them. Without their mates, their remaining sanity was almost gone.
The injured female sat on her partner's back, glaring at them. "You Flamingo Beasts hurt me and captured my friends. You're doing the same thing as the Hell Beasts to fight for the position of Beast King. Today, if you don't give me an explanation, don't even think about leaving Beast City alive!"
With the female speaking, the orcs around them became more confident and stared at Bei Yan and the others angrily.
The female's partner said, "Hand over the Flamingo Beast that injured the female yesterday. We need to kill him first!"
They were talking back and forth, and the situation below was in chaos. The entire city gate was blocked, and orcs kept pouring in from the road in the distance.
After all, this was the Beast City. Losing a female beast out of nowhere in the Beast City was simply not an option.
Bei Yan and Ji Mu were both in human form, sitting on the backs of their own kind. Perhaps because of the beasts' interception, they had descended in altitude. At this moment, the Flamingo carrying Ji Mu flew forward. Ji Mu interrupted them in a deep voice, saying, "We Flamingos will naturally acknowledge what we've done, but no one should accuse us of anything we haven't done. We kidnapped females from Beast City? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Ji Mu usually doesn't look very serious, but he can still handle things at critical moments. He glanced coldly at the herd of beasts in front of him. Because of his pressure, many low-level beasts who were watching the excitement lowered their heads to avoid meeting Ji Mu's gaze.
However, those who had lost their females wouldn't let it go. The tallest of them sneered, "Humph! That's ridiculous! We saw it with our own eyes, and you're still trying to quibble? Are you saying there's something wrong with our eyes?"
"All the flamingo beasts in this Midnight City are from your tribe. If we only saw the orcish appearance, we could say that we smelled it wrong, but can other tribes also transform into flamingos?" Another companion beast took over. They saw it clearly, and they still dared to quibble.
Ji Mu frowned and glanced at them. "You can say you dislike us, but you can't think we're stupid. If we really wanted to hurt you and kidnap the female beast, would we transform into beasts in front of you? And leave you alive?"
"You--" The male beast opposite was so angry that he choked on his words. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to tear Ji Mu in half.
Qing Yang also stepped forward and said coldly, "Jimu is right. If it were really as you said, we would have killed you all long ago. After all, killing you... is very easy!"
Qing Yang's temper had obviously been broken for a long time, so he didn't speak politely. He was even itching to beat up these orcs. He cursed in his heart: "These brainless idiots..."
The orcs around who were waiting for an explanation from the Flamingo Tribe felt that what Ji Mu and Qing Yang said made some sense. Although Qing Yang's words were unpleasant, they were true. In fact, there were also many orcs in the outer city who had doubts. After all, the Flamingo Tribe should not be so stupid.
However, at this moment, the injured female, sitting on her mate's back, slowly stepped forward. She said in a cold voice, "Of course you didn't intend to kidnap the female at first, nor did you intend to transform into a beast. It's just that my friend's mate and I had a conflict with the patrol, so you wanted to teach them a lesson like you did to those high-level beasts. It just so happened that our two mates were sent out on an errand..."
"You wanted to take the opportunity to kill them and warn us, but my friend and I suddenly wanted to go out and play for a while, and we ran into you who wanted to kill our partner. We protected our partner, and you couldn't defeat us, so you changed into beast form. My friend accidentally saw her face wrapped in your animal skin, and you kidnapped her..." The female recounted in detail what happened last night.
She was also injured while protecting her partner. These flamingos were really ruthless in their attack.
The female's words changed the attitude of the onlookers. The female continued, "When you killed those high-level beasts during the day, you accidentally left feathers behind, and then you showed up at night. Do you think that killing a few male beasts won't cause any trouble even if there's a discussion in the Beast City? You're simply too unscrupulous. In the end, you were exposed. You even dared to kidnap female beasts!"
"Female, don't talk nonsense." Qing Yang couldn't help but retort her. Ji Mu raised his hand to stop Qing Yang, signaling him not to be impulsive.
The female was dissatisfied with Qing Yang's attitude and sneered, "Humph, the beasts in the outer city are not blind. You Flamingos have repeatedly troubled the Bald Eagles to seize the position of Beast King and even killed many of their beastmen. Now you see that the Bald Eagles have Helig, and Katie Qiao is the sister of your elder. You can't form a partnership with the elder, so you have no chance of winning and have come up with other ideas!"
Every word she said sounded reasonable, and the orcs nodded in agreement. After all, many orcs in the outer city felt that the Flamingo Tribe was extremely sinister.
In an instant, because of the female's continuous words, all the orcs watching from the outer city looked at Bei Yan and his group coldly. Although Bei Yan and his group were of high level, they were still forced to the "edge of a desperate cliff" facing the siege and malice of so many orcs. Those who didn't like them even wanted to take this opportunity to get their blood on them and expel them from the North.
Sheng Ye, who had always been honest and calm, was a little flustered at this moment. He frowned and pursed his lips, but he couldn't win the argument with his ability to express himself.
The beasts forced them to retreat again and again. The companion beasts showed their sharp claws, and many beastmen who could not bear to watch also showed their claws and prepared to help. In this situation, fighting was inevitable. The flamingo in the front row carried Bei Yan and retreated continuously.
Bei Yan sat upright on the back of his tribe beast, his crimson eyes reflecting the malicious faces of the orcs of the Northland. His eyes seemed to be shrouded in an unfathomable darkness. He said nothing, his face calm and expressionless. It was precisely because of this that the orcs had been afraid to act rashly...
"Bei, Yan..." Sheng Ye called out his name in a complicated tone, his eyes darkening.
Bei Yan recalled a distant memory. Many, many years ago, when his Flamingo tribe had just arrived in this Beast City, the beasts from the north had driven them away just like they were doing today...
