"Cochas, there are some things you can't just say." It was Katiejo who spoke. She naturally would not let the flamingo tribe be bullied.
Because of Katichio's words, the orcs' hearts were shaken by doubt. In fact, there were rumors in the Beast City, and the orcs had their own thoughts.
In the silence, Kochas looked at Katiejo with a smile and said, "Female Katiejo, I'm not talking nonsense. They did these things in private and they must have kept it a secret from you. I have evidence. Everyone will understand after seeing it."
Kochas looked confident and calm, but when he said he had evidence, Katiejo's heart skipped a beat and she frowned slightly. Ye Luoxing was also moved by the same thought, because she knew clearly that Beiyan and the others had indeed seen the Yan Beast and had made a deal with him. Could it be that Kochas and the others really had evidence?
Kochas clapped his hands towards the sky, and the beastmen had different expressions...
Bei Yan, Lu Lan and the others looked towards the main peak with cold eyes, and saw several bald eagles flying towards them with a large bag of things on their backs. The bags were wrapped tightly in animal skins, and Ye Luoxing could not see anything. But as the bald eagles approached, Bei Yan and the others obviously smelled something.
Kochas watched Beiyan and the others' changing expressions, and saw the hint of surprise in their eyes. His smile grew even brighter...
Soon, the bald eagles flew to the center of the clearing. They changed into human form and opened the animal skin packages under the attention of all the orcs. Then piles of rare dried herbs appeared inside, and the animals present stared in amazement.
"I recognize some of these things. Aren't these rare herbs only found in the South?"
"It looks like that to me too. I've even seen it with the witch doctor in the inner city!"
"What a pity! These herbs are very precious. There are even fewer of them in our northern land. Where did you collect so many herbs?"
"It's not possible to gather so many people overnight! No one except Beast City has the ability to do this!"
"It is indeed Midnight City..."
The orcs were surprised and sighed. They had not yet considered the relationship between these herbs and the flamingo tribe, but their eyes could not help but shine.
When Bei Yan, Lu Lan and the others saw these piles of herbs, they already had some guesses in their minds, and their auras grew colder.
Kochas interrupted the beasts' discussion. His voice echoed slowly in the center of the vast open space. "You'll never guess where these herbs came from. Lately, the Yan Beasts in the north have been acting too recklessly, disturbing the peace of our land. Naturally, we can't ignore them. The orcs I sent out happened to discover the Yan Beasts' lair. So, when we defeated them, we found these herbs in their cave."
Earlier, when Bai Xuan heard Kochas mention the Yan Beast, she looked at Bei Yan and the others with a cold look. At this moment, when she heard Kochas say that the Yan Beast was defeated, Bai Xuan's expression was complicated, and the emotions in her heart were difficult to describe, but she was still paying attention to the reactions of Bei Yan and the others.
"What do you want to say?" Bei Yan spat out these words indifferently, maintaining his composure.
Kochas sneered and looked at the first of the older females. "As everyone just said, no one in the entire North could produce such a large quantity of medicinal herbs except Beast City. Because Midnight City has an exchange area, the orcs from the South will bring rare medicinal herbs to exchange, but most of them are exchanged with the beasts settled in the city. Naturally, the orcs in the tribe cannot accumulate such a large amount."
"But, it is really strange that this group of Yan beasts that have stayed in the north for so long would have so many medicinal herbs from the south. I can't think of any possibility except that these herbs were transported out of the Beast City. Moreover... to have so many herbs and to transport them out, this is not something that ordinary orcs can do." There was still murderous intent in Kochas' eyes, but he pretended to be rational and polite on his face.
The more the orcs listened, the more frightened they became, because Kochas was right. Even the female elders found it hard to accept this fact...
At this moment, Ye Luoxing was surprised and was also thinking about another thing. The orcs in the city were killed two days ago. It was done by Krolin and his men. They sneaked into the Beast City. Even Liao Yuan and Liu Fei and others came. Therefore, the group of Yan beasts outside the city had no leader. Could it be that Kochas took this opportunity to destroy the group of Yan beasts?
Kochas was indeed cruel and showed no mercy to his brother, but Krollin was extremely cunning and it was impossible for him to be wiped out so easily.
So... could it be that they cooperated?
But this conjecture was unlikely. The two of them clearly had conflicting personalities and might even have a grudge against each other. It was impossible for two orcs like them to truly cooperate. The orcs killed in the city two days ago were Kochas's orcs. Kochas wouldn't weaken his own strength, and Krollin would never easily hand over these herbs...
"Oh~" Bei Yan suddenly smiled, "So you mean there's a traitor in your tribe, and they gave the herbs to Yan Beast?"
Bei Yan's mind worked quickly. Although what he said might not be useful, if Kochas could do it, he could naturally do it too.
Ye Luoxing instantly sensed the sharp edge emanating from Bei Yan...
Kochas snorted and laughed. "Oh, Beiyan, there's no point in pretending. Many orcs outside the city saw us search the Hell Beast's lair and retrieve these herbs. Furthermore, the rare herbs in the inner city are usually shared equally between the two tribes. Our tribe still has their half, so we can immediately produce a considerable amount of herbs. What about yours? Is it still there?"
Kochas raised his eyebrows, his words revealing a threat, and all the orcs looked at Bei Yan.
"Since they are herbs, there have been more competitions recently and the orcs have been injured, so the herbs are naturally consumed. Moreover, any orc in the city can exchange them. This doesn't mean anything. It doesn't make sense for you to frame us for this." Lu Lan has always been reasonable, and his reasons are reasonable.
Feixu then added, "It was the Flamingo Beast who killed the orcs in Beast City two days ago. Now, we've found these rare herbs from the Yan Beast's lair. How could it be such a coincidence that you, the Flamingo Tribe, just happened to come across them!"
They were determined to prove Bei Yan and the others' guilt, and it just so happened that Bei Yan and the others actually did it this time.
As the atmosphere around them grew increasingly tense, one of the female elders was about to demand an explanation from Bei Yan and the others, but Kati Qiao intervened again...
"You are wrong to say that. Just like Lu Lan said just now, anyone can exchange items. Besides, I heard that there is a powerful witch doctor in the outer city recently. He allows orcs to exchange herbs for the opportunity to be cured. The accumulated herbs are as high as a hill. Are you going to suspect the witch doctor again later?" Katiqiao quickly connected it to something and gave it as an example.
Ye Luoxing immediately realized that the orc that Katijo was talking about was most likely himself.
The atmosphere around them was not good, and finally Ye Luoxing spoke up to help: "Hasn't the matter from the past two days been resolved? Those two females didn't say anything, so is there any need for you to use this to suspect anyone?"
