Yue and three other fellow tribesmen were soaked at this time. In addition, Xiao did not hold on and died halfway. They were all in a depressed mood and did not know how to explain to the tribe leader.
They didn't know yet that Wen Nuan had returned and had given birth to cubs.
“Howl!!!”
When clan leader Lin saw Xiao's body, he cried out and rushed over, but unfortunately Xiao was no longer able to respond to him.
Lin looked at Xiao's charred body, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Yue and the others, gritted his teeth and asked:
"How did Xiao die?"
Yue was frightened by the clan leader's momentum and fierce eyes. He took a step back unconsciously and then spoke:
"Xiao was killed by lightning!"
This single statement caused a huge uproar. Among the tribesmen who gathered around, some females exclaimed in surprise, and some smart male orcs had already made a guess, but they frowned and did not speak out their guesses. After all, this was not a glorious thing.
At this time, another orc Ling who carried Xiao on his back spoke:
"Chief, we were originally going to return to the tribe, but Xiao saw the person you sent and said that he had news about Wen Nuan. She seemed to be in the Peacock Tribe. Xiao was very worried about Wen Nuan, so he suggested that we rush to the Peacock Tribe to pick her up as soon as possible and not return to the tribe for the time being.
The three of us had come with him to find warmth, so naturally we had no objection. However, when we set out yesterday, the weather was gloomy. According to our past experience, it should be the first rain of the rainy season, so we suggested waiting until the rain stopped before setting off.
Xiao also agreed. The four of us were walking together at the time. But the next moment, without any warning, a bolt of lightning struck Xiao on the head. Then it started to rain heavily. Xiao was still alive at the time. We rushed back to the tribe overnight, hoping that the witch could save him. Unfortunately..."
After Leng finished speaking, he found that the surroundings were terribly quiet. The eyes of the people looking at the clan leader Lin had changed. In this silence, a weak voice was heard:
"Xiao was punished by the Beast God. He deserved it! He hurt me, framed Wei and got expelled from the tribe, forced me out of the tribe, and wanted to kill me twice!
What a pity! I was blessed by the Beast God and saved by the God's messenger. The white tiger cub I gave birth to today is the best proof!
As the clan leader, Lin not only did not help me to seek justice, but also shielded Xiao and helped him escape punishment. The Beast God personally punished Xiao!"
The orcs followed the sound and saw Qingtian supporting Wen Nuan, while Wen Nuan, with a pale face, was complaining about the injustice of the tribe leader and believed that Xiao deserved it.
Yue and Leng, the other orcs who went out with Xiao, saw Wen Nuan intact and heard what she said. Their faces changed and they immediately understood that the tribesman who found Xiao did not really tell them where Wen Nuan was. He probably wanted Xiao to not return to the tribe for the time being.
The selfish Xiao did not tell them the truth at all, and even wanted to take them away from the tribe, which made them feel disheartened. He thought he was dragging the three of them down with him.
What Xiao did was exposed. They were close to Xiao and disappeared with him. What would the tribe members think? They would think that they knew about it and even participated in it, so they would stand together with Xiao. In the future, no female would be willing to form a bond with them. This would be a stain on their lives.
"Warmth, we don't know this"
Leng said somewhat dully. After all, he was just out to look for a lost female. He didn't expect that all this was planned by Xiao.
"We just wanted to find you, but we didn't expect that. Perhaps it was the Beast God's blessing that prevented us from making a bigger mistake."
Yue lowered his eyes and said.
He had some doubts before, thinking that Xiao was too eager, but because he had known Xiao's feelings for Wen Nuan for a long time, he did not think too much about it.
Now he understood why the other party was so eager to find warmth. It was also thanks to the protection of the Beast God that they were prevented from finding warmth. Otherwise, Xiao might really do something to cover up the mistake he had made. He knew Xiao's ambition very well. Becoming the patriarch of the tiger tribe has always been his goal.
At this time, Lin was holding Xiao's cold body, ignoring the words around him, tears streaming down his old cheeks. He seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and would return to the arms of the Beast God at any time.
At this time, Wu came out, looked at Lin, then looked at Xiao who was no longer breathing, sighed secretly, and then spoke:
"Xiao forced the female Wen Nuan and pinned the blame on Wei, causing Wei to be expelled from the tribe. Now he has been punished by the Beast God, and the matter ends here.
Chief Lin was not fair and impartial in dealing with his son’s mistakes, and even shielded Xiao. However, since he became chief, Lin has always been able to shoulder his responsibilities as chief. This time,
Before the witch could say what punishment the clan leader would receive, Lin interrupted her:
"I am no longer the leader of the Tiger Tribe. I must pay the price for my wrong decision."
After saying this, without waiting for the witch's response, he picked up the lifeless Xiao, left the tribe, and went into the deep forest.
The tribesmen looked at the hunched back of their leader Lin with some pity in their eyes, but the mistake had been made, and Xiao died in such an ignominious way, punished by the Beast God. This was a shame for all the male orcs of the Tiger Tribe.
"Yue, Leng, Si, the three of you go and bring Weixun back. We have already investigated the matter thoroughly. We cannot let him continue to wander around outside."
Wu ordered calmly.
"yes!"
Yue, Leng and Si knew that this was a chance for the witch to atone for their sins, so they immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and went to their caves to add some resources for going out, and left the tribe again.
Wen Nuan burst into tears only after hearing the witch's instructions. She was so afraid that she would not be able to clear the injustice for her beloved. She had been controlled by Xiao all her life, especially since Xiao had the support of the clan leader. In fact, she was ready to wander with Wei.
Qingtian patted her shoulder helplessly and comforted her softly:
"Wen Nuan, don't cry! The truth has been revealed. Wei will come back too. You need to take good care of yourself and wait for him to come back."
"Um!"
Wen Nuan nodded with sobs, and was supported by Qingtian and returned to Wu's residence.
Wu went to find Lianyi. When the tiger tribe's farce happened, Lianyi never showed up from beginning to end. But Wu knew that this messenger of God must have been behind it.
"Ripple Divine Envoy, is the punishment for Xiao too severe?"
"Is it heavy? But this is not for you and me to decide."
Lianyi held a purple flower in her hand, which she had found to be used as a dye.
“.”
"Don't tell me you didn't see that Lin was going to pass the position of tribe leader to Xiao. With Xiao's jealous and vicious character, do you think he can lead the Tiger Tribe to prosperity?"
“.”
This time it was Wu who remained silent.
"In the Beast World, the clan leader is the leader of the clan. It has always been the position of the most capable person, not the son inheriting the father's position."
"I know, so I have talked to Lin once before. I don't agree with Xiao taking over the position of clan leader. I didn't expect that Xiao would get into trouble before things were finalized."
"You don't agree, but you don't completely deny it, so Lin feels there is hope. He wants to cover up Xiao's mistakes and give him a chance to take the position of clan leader."
