That day, Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng went a little further away from the valley and met a group of people, an orc hunting team from the mangrove tribe.
Originally, both sides would avoid each other if they were far away, and the orcs would not notice Yuan Jing's existence. But because it was raining, Yuan Jing held up the ridiculous green broad leaves between the two keratinous plates on the stegosaurus's back to shelter from the rain. So the large green area on the stegosaurus's back attracted the attention of the orcs led by Hu Li.
"That is..."
"That looks like Bao Yuanjing? Is it really him? Isn't he dead?"
"Hu Li, look quickly. Is that Leopard Yuan Jing on top? It seems to be much better looking than before." If Leopard Yuan Jing had been as good looking as this before, they would not mind keeping Leopard Yuan Jing in the tribe. Not all orcs in the tribe have sub-humans.
Hu Li was leading the hunting team out hunting. When he heard the screams of other orcs, he looked up and saw that the demi-human on top was indeed Leopard Yuan Jing. Hu Li rushed out without thinking, forgetting his fear of a terrible creature like the Stegosaurus.
"Leopard Yuan Jing!" Tiger roared.
He originally wanted to avoid it, but when he heard the tiger's roar, Yuan Jing signaled to the sword dragon father to stop, turned around and looked over. Oh, this big tiger that was soaked like a drowned rat didn't look majestic at all. It was very different from the majestic and powerful orc in his original memory.
Yuan Jing looked down at the wet big tiger, and Xiong Feng glared at him with fierce eyes. These people were bullying his Yuan Yuan. When he became stronger, he would definitely beat him up!
Yuan Jing said calmly, "Hu Li, why did you call me?"
The big tiger's body shrank and instantly turned into a 1.9-meter-tall and strong man. This image was much better looking than a big tiger with wet hair stuck to its body. Of course, that didn't mean Yuan Jing appreciated it.
Hu Li was wearing a small leather skirt tied around his waist. He reached out and wiped the rain off his face. His expression was still incredulous. This sub-human was actually Bao Yuanjing. He said in a surprised tone: "Bao Yuanjing, you are not dead? If you are not dead, why don't you return to the tribe?"
"Does it matter whether I go back to the Mangrove Tribe or not? If I don't go back, isn't that exactly what you expect? Is there anyone in the Mangrove Tribe who would welcome me, Bao Yuanjing? If you stopped me just to ask this one question, then there's no need. If we meet again in the future, we'll just treat each other as strangers. Let's go."
The stegosaurus father roared and turned his huge body. Seeing that his tail was about to sweep over him, Hu Li was startled and quickly jumped away. When he looked up, he saw Leopard Yuanjing standing steadily on the stegosaurus' back, holding a funny-looking little beast-shaped orc in his arms.
Yuan Jing's indifference and disregard angered Hu Li, and he roared again: "Leopard Yuan Jing, who doesn't welcome you? Do you know that your behavior makes us very disappointed?"
"Tsk," Yuan Jing sneered without even turning his head, "Then don't be disappointed in the future. I will expel myself from the Mangrove Tribe and will no longer be a member of the Mangrove Tribe. Goodbye, it's better not to see each other again in the future."
When Jianlong and his family set out, the earth was shaking. As the shaking continued, the group went farther and farther away, completely ignoring Hu Li and the others, without any lingering feelings at all.
The other orcs jumped out one after another, they were still in extreme shock.
"It really is Bao Yuanjing, but why is he with those scary giants?"
"How come he wasn't eaten by those big guys? Those big guys seemed to listen to Bao Yuanjing."
"Is Bao Yuanjing living in that valley now? No wonder we couldn't find him anywhere. We thought he was really dead."
"Enough, let's go back!" Hu Li shouted at them, turned around, transformed into a tiger form, and ran back silently.
The others looked at each other, and quickly transformed into animal forms and chased after him, but all their questions remained unanswered.
When the group returned to the mangrove tribe, the news that they had encountered Leopard Yuanjing outside spread immediately. Both the orcs and the sub-humans were shocked that the sub-human Leopard Yuanjing was still alive and living in that terrible valley. He was even riding on the back of that terrible big guy.
Not all primitive people are simple, so when Hu Li went to report the matter to the tribe leader and the priest, a subhuman came to tell Xiong An Ning, who was shocked.
"Is he still alive? Living in that valley?"
That valley could be said to be a forbidden area of the Mangrove Tribe. He had heard Hu Li and others mention it several times. The hunting team would avoid the location of the valley when they went out. After listening to Hu Li and others' description, Xiong Anning guessed that the scary big guy living in the valley was actually a dinosaur, which was indeed a very ferocious and terrifying beast.
But how could Leopard Yuanjing, who he remembered as being so thin that he would fall down at the slightest gust of wind, actually live with dinosaurs? The last time he left the Mangrove Tribe, he was taken back by She Rui. That experience left a deep impression on Xiong Anning. The forest outside was indeed extremely dangerous, so when he heard that Leopard Yuanjing had died outside, he shed a tear of sympathy, but he was actually relieved in his heart.
From the perspective of later generations, Bao Yuanjing was Hu Li's fiancée, and he interfered like a mistress who destroyed their relationship. Although there was no such saying in such a place and his behavior was not condemned, there was still a faint voice in his heart that if Bao Yuanjing was gone, he would be more open.
As a result, Bao Yuanjing really left the tribe on his own. He couldn't blame anyone for that. He also completely got rid of this burden and worked hard with Hu Li to build the Mangrove Tribe. He was more suitable for Hu Li than Bao Yuanjing, the sub-human, and could lead the people of the tribe to live a good life.
But Leopard Yuanjing is not dead and is still involved with the dinosaur.
"He's not coming back? I'll ask Hu Li to pick him up." Xiong An Ning showed a worried expression.
"What are you saying? Bao Yuanjing said that he left the tribe on his own and will have nothing to do with our Mangrove Tribe in the future. Although I don't know what happened between him and that terrifying giant, it's not that easy to live outside. When the snow season comes, he will know how terrible it is outside. Do you really think he can survive outside?"
"It's not good to leave him alone outside." Xiong Anning suddenly had a thought in his mind. Could Bao Yuanjing control the three dinosaurs? How did he do it? If I learn it, can I do the same thing? With a dinosaur as a mount, he can go wherever he wants on this Orc Continent.
"Although you, An Ning, have a good heart, Leopard Yuan Jing is not a good person. Have you forgotten how he hated you for wanting to harm you?"
"That's because he likes Hu Li too much, and Hu Li..." Xiong Anning looked embarrassed.
"Hu Li is the strongest orc in our tribe, so of course he should be paired with the best subhuman. It's obvious at first glance that Bao Yuan Jing can't give birth to a cub. How can he compare with you, An Ning? We all support you and Hu Li being together."
"Thank you. I will try to persuade Hu Li again." Xiong An Ning thanked him, but secretly thought that these primitive people were really easy to deceive. Whatever he said was true. But it was not his fault, because Bao Yuanjing ran away on his own. "Let me teach you another dish today."
"Okay, okay, I'll call the other demihumans over."
Xiong Anning was going to teach new dishes again. The subhumans in the tribe were happy, and the orcs were happy too, because the barbecue cooked in the way Xiong Anning taught them tasted much better than what they cooked themselves. If Hu Li hadn't stopped him, Xiong Anning would have been pursued by more orcs.
In the priest's cave, the priest and the tribe leader frowned after listening to what Hu Li said. Bao Yuanjing actually went to that valley. That place was a forbidden area for the Mangrove Tribe. As long as they didn't take the initiative to go there, the terrible creatures living in it would not attack them. That's why they have lived in peace for so many years. When they were hunting outside, they would quickly leave if they saw them from afar.
"Priest, what do you think is going on with him? Will it be harmful to our Mangrove Tribe?"
The priest shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, Hu Li, are you really sure that the scary big guy will listen to Bao Yuanjing?"
"Yes, it has always been Leopard Yuanjing who has been commanding that scary big guy." Hu Li was extremely sure and even described the appearance of the little orc that Leopard Yuanjing was holding.
"That's the Forsaken One!" The priest was extremely certain. "Leopard Yuanjing was actually involved with the Forsaken One. He is corrupt. Don't get close to him anymore, otherwise he will bring disaster to our tribe."
"Yes, priest, I will listen to you." The patriarch and Hu Li said with a serious face.
When the chief left the priest's cave, he spread the news in the tribe that Leopard Yuanjing had gotten involved with the Forsaken God and had fallen, and told the people in the tribe not to get close to Leopard Yuanjing again, otherwise it would bring disaster to the tribe. The orcs and sub-humans in the tribe were frightened and said that they would never get close to Leopard Yuanjing again, and he was no longer a member of the Mangrove Tribe.
Yuan Jing had no idea that the priest of the mangrove tribe equated him with disaster.
Of course, even if I knew, I would only sneer at such ignorance.
However, this matter also spread to other tribes. In fact, other tribes had long known that a Stegosaurus tribe had appeared outside the valley. After all, some people had already defected there. However, they did not expect that the leader of the tribe, the demi-human, came from the mangrove tribe.
Hearing that the Ya people would bring disaster to people, they went back to ask the priests of their tribes, especially the orcs of the Bear Tribe. They met Xiong Gu several times when they went out hunting. It turned out that the guy withdrew from the hunting team after breaking his leg, and his life was getting worse and worse. But unexpectedly, after leaving with Xiong Tian, his disabled leg actually got better. This news caused quite a shock to the Bear Tribe at that time, so that several disabled orcs secretly ran away and joined the Stegosaurus Tribe.
The priest of the Bear Tribe said with certainty: "Yes, what the priest of the Mangrove Tribe said is absolutely right. This sub-human has fallen. The reason why Xiong Gu and the others are hurt is because they are no longer loved by the Beast God. They should wait peacefully to return to the Beast God's arms instead of hooking up with that fallen man. That fallen man violated the will of the Beast God and used devilish means to make Xiong Gu and the others become good, but he will definitely be punished by the Beast God in the future and will not be able to return to the Beast God's arms after death."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. If there was anything unified on the Orc Continent, it was the language. Different tribes actually used the same language. The other was the worship of the Beast God. They worshiped the same Beast God. The Beast God had an extremely high status, and only priests could communicate with the Beast God. So the words of the priests represented the meaning of the Beast God.
The priest's words spread, causing many people to fear Yuan Jing, the sub-human, and the Stegosaurus tribe. Someone also told Xiong Baibai that the God-forsaken person she gave birth to was now in the Stegosaurus tribe. Xiong Baibai had long forgotten about this son and didn't think he had any relationship with her anymore.
The rain was still falling, reminding Yuan Jing of his previous life. Every year, it would rain for several months and the earth would be flooded. Of course, this world was very different. The air outside was extremely fresh, and the forest's water storage capacity was also quite strong. Orcs could still go out hunting in such weather, and all things grew more luxuriantly.
Yuan Jing dug up a lot of yams and a crop he named earth eggs. The taste of earth eggs is very similar to potatoes, but they are much bigger. A potato is as big as a baby's head. He planted them with the subhumans. Because it kept raining, he was worried that these crops would rot if buried in the ground. As a result, they grew better day by day. Needless to say, there would be a good harvest after the rainy season.
The land in this primitive era was really fertile and basically no fertilizer was needed. Yuan Jing dared to say that if the land was taken good care of, the yield of yam and local eggs could reach several thousand kilograms per mu. After this harvest, there would be no need to worry about going hungry during this snowy season.
A raccoon quickly jumped back from outside and called a few people. An orc immediately pointed him in the direction. This raccoon was of course Xiong Tian. As soon as he came back, he looked for the leader and changed into human form when he appeared in front of Yuan Jing.
Xiong Gu and his companions were a little slower in the back, and when they came back they asked where Xiong Tian had gone. They heard from others that Xiong Tian had gone to look for the leader, so they worriedly asked, “What should we do now? How could the leader be…”
Xiong Gu said unhappily, "They are talking nonsense. Do you want to stay in the bear tribe and starve to death, or become food for fierce beasts outside?"
"No, we definitely don't."
"Don't forget, the leader taught us the skills of the gods. We will become stronger and stronger. In the future, we will no longer have to worry about not being able to feed our demi-humans and children, nor will we have to worry about being attacked and killed by fierce beasts."
"Yes, Xiong Gu is right, let's go find the leader now."
When they went out hunting this time, they ran into people from the Bear Tribe. Since they all knew each other, they would have said a few words to each other when they ran into each other in the past, but this time, those guys were actually hostile to them and said very unpleasant things. Xiong Tian was the first one who couldn't stand it and rushed up to fight with them, and Xiong Gu hurried over to help.
They were surprised that they did not lose the fight. Now they thought that it must be the effect of the skills taught by the leader, which made them stronger and more robust. The life they lived in the Stegosaurus Tribe was something they had never experienced before. They could not imagine going back to the days like in the past.
They became more determined because of Xiong Gu's words.
When Yuan Jing heard what Xiong Tian brought back, he just raised his eyebrows. On the contrary, Xiong Feng was so angry that he jumped off Yuan Jing, turning around in circles and shouting angrily, wishing he could rush to the Bear Tribe and beat up all those who said bad things about Yuan Yuan.
This made Yuan Jing laugh, and he held him on his lap and stroked his fur: "Don't be angry, look, I'm not angry at all, it's not worth getting angry, being angry will only please them."
"Chief, what should we do?"
"We don't have to do anything. We'll just hunt and weave as before. We'll live our own lives, and then they'll have their own troubles."
"Chief, what trouble will they have?" Xiong Gu and others who came over just happened to hear this.
Yuan Jing was quite satisfied when he saw that there was no fear of him in the eyes of these orcs. The priest's position in their minds was deeply rooted. They did not waver and leave the Stegosaurus Tribe because of the words of the priest. This was already very difficult. After all, for ordinary orcs and subhumans, as long as they could live a good life, what difference did it make what the leader did?
Xiong Feng also looked at Yuan Jing curiously, temporarily forgetting his anger. He put his paw on Yuan Jing's arm with a silly expression on his face.
Yuan Jing rubbed his head again and said, "I often go outside to check the river water during this period. I don't know if you still remember what the rainy season was like before, but this year's rainy season, I think the rain is particularly heavy, more than in previous years. What happens when there is too much rain?"
Xiong Gu and his companions' expressions immediately changed: "A flood is coming?"
What orcs fear most is natural disasters. To them, natural disasters are nothing but punishment from the Beast God. Even the rising of an earth dragon is the wrath of the Beast God.
"So what should we do? Should we leave here?"
"Don't leave yet. What do you think the reason why I opened the mountain and changed the route with Jianlong was to divert the flood and prevent it from passing through our valley. With Jianlong and I here, we will keep everyone safe. As for other tribes, you can bring this news to them. Don't worry about their attitude. We just need to focus on hunting."
"If anyone in the tribe feels uncomfortable staying here, they can leave. I won't stop you. Of course, you can't use the things I taught you after you leave. After all, this is the power of the devil, don't you think?"
Seeing the leader laughing, Xiong Gu and others shuddered. Yes, if they left the Jianlong tribe and continued to practice this technique, wouldn’t they be contradicting themselves?
Xiong Gu was puzzled and asked: "Why did the priest say that to the leader?"
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Because of my existence, the priest of the bear tribe feels threatened, right? I can cure the diseases that he can't cure, and I can do things that he can't do. What will the status of the priest be in your eyes?"
Xiong Gu and others suddenly realized that, yes, the prestige of the priest in their minds would continue to decline. In comparison, Yuan Jing was much more powerful than the priest. After they recovered from their injuries, they all doubted what the priest had said before.
So the priests were jealous of their leader and deliberately spoke ill of him?
"The priest is so abominable."
"Yes, he will be punished for doing this."
Xiong Gu suddenly roared, and the energy in his body burst out. Yuan Jing quickly set up a formation and said, "Everyone step back, Xiong Gu is about to break through."
No one cared to denounce the priest anymore, and stared at Xiong Gu. What would happen to Xiong Gu after the breakthrough? They were looking forward to it.
