Several people squatted on the roadside. Xiaolong imitated his brothers Xiong Feng and Yuan Jing and squatted on the roadside as well. However, he was too big and his eyes were conspicuous enough. The two sides of the fight felt their scalps tingling under the stare of his eyes. Their movements became more and more stiff, and finally they simply stopped fighting. One of them said to the other, "You got it easy this time. Don't let us run into each other next time. Let's go!"
They left as soon as they said they would, and at a very fast speed, as if they were afraid that the crowd of onlookers would not let them go, so they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hu Luo couldn't stand this kind of watching posture, but at the same time, a weird feeling surged in his heart, as if this was pretty good. Of course, if he was the one being watched, he would definitely be in tears and amused.
But as he watched, he felt that one of the orcs opposite him looked a little familiar, so he called out tentatively: "Lize? Is that you?"
The remaining three orcs were feeling uneasy, not understanding who these people were and where they came from. However, it was their appearance and onlookers that helped them out of their difficulties. They were already in a weak position before these people showed up, and if they were defeated they would not have a good ending, and might even return to the arms of the Beast God.
When Li Ze heard someone calling his name, he looked towards Hu Luo in surprise. After a careful look, he finally dug out a name from his mind and was even more surprised: "Hu Luo? Is it you, Hu Luo? You... are back? Are these your friends?"
If it was Hu Luo, that would be great. The safety of the three of them would be no problem. Lizhe and Hu Luo had been friends before. When he learned that Hu Luo was expelled from the tiger tribe, he could no longer find Hu Luo. Later, when he met the orcs of the tiger tribe, he learned the reason why Hu Luo was expelled.
He once went out to look for Hu Luo's whereabouts, but the Orc Continent was too large and he had no idea where to start. He didn't expect that one day Hu Luo would appear in front of them again and save them.
"Yes, I'm back. It's really you, Lizawa. Good brother, how have you been these years?"
"Hu Luo, I'm fine. It's great to see you again."
Lizhe left his tribe behind, ran over and hugged Huluo with open arms to express his happiness. Huluo was also very happy. His friend had not forgotten him, and that was enough.
Two members of the Lizard Ze tribe also stepped forward. They had heard about Hu Luo and looked at him and his companions curiously.
After Lizhe calmed down, he took a few steps back and expressed his gratitude to Huluo and his companions for saving him: "Huluo, if it weren't for you, the three of us might not be able to return to the tribe. Brother, you saved me again."
Hu Luo had saved him before, and that was how their friendship started.
"Brother Lizhe, this is really a coincidence. We just happened to pass by and came to take a look after hearing the noise. I didn't expect to run into you. I'm glad we came here, otherwise I would regret it. Lizhe, these are the orc subhumans who came out of the Stegosaurus tribe to travel around the continent. I joined them."
Hu Luo introduced Yuan Jing and his group, including the ferocious beast Xiaolong, to Li Ze and his tribesmen. Seeing such a ferocious beast, Li Ze and his tribesmen were a little scared, but this big guy actually nodded at them, which was completely different from the ferocious beasts they had encountered in the past.
"Hello, thank you for coming. Where are you going? Why don't you visit our Lizard Tribe?" Lizhe invited them a little stiffly. As for the Stegosaurus Tribe that Hu Luo mentioned, he had never heard of it. Could it be a large tribe that appeared in some unknown place? He believed that without the strength of a large tribe, they could not send such a group of people.
"Well, we won't be polite and will disturb your lizard tribe."
"No, no, you saved our lives, and we should thank you." Lize said politely.
Lizhe's invitation was exactly what Yuan Jing and the others wanted, so Yuan Jing decided to go with them to the Lizard Tribe. After all, Hu Luo had been away from here for many years, and he didn't know what new things had happened in recent years.
On the way to the Lizard Tribe, Hu Luo introduced his little cub to Li Ze. Li Ze was very happy and said that he would introduce his little cub to Hu Luo when he returned to the tribe, so that they could inherit the friendship of their fathers.
"I have been on the other side of the long river for the past few years and have never been back. Is there anything new in the Orc Continent recently?" Hu Luo asked, for himself and for Yuan Jing and his group. As for the long river, it was the wide river they crossed. Most people did not know its source or its end, so they named this river the Long River.
However, Hu Luo knew that at the end of the long river was the boundless ocean, where ferocious sea creatures lived, and only large tribes dared to trade with those sea creatures.
"No wonder I haven't heard of you anywhere. A lot of things have happened in the past few years. For example, your Tiger Tribe found a lost member. I heard that the guy was just an ordinary orc when he first appeared, but he became a mid-level totem warrior in just a few years. He also has several helpers, so he has become the most popular candidate for the young chief of the Tiger Tribe."
Hearing this, Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng looked at each other. Somehow, they both felt that this orc was Hu Li.
So Yuan Jing asked, "Is this tiger beastman called Hu Li?"
"Oh, you know each other?" Li Ze was surprised. He heard that Hu Li and the subhuman who appeared with him came from a barren place. Could these people also come from a barren place? But how come they are so powerful? Hu Li became powerful only after he came to their continent. At first, no one took him seriously.
Xiong Gu continued, "Yes, we do know each other. Hu Li was born in a small tribe called Mangrove. There was a flood on our continent that year, and the Mangrove tribe was destroyed by the flood. The tribe members were forced to move out. Later, we never heard of Hu Li's whereabouts. It turns out that he had come here a long time ago. He turned out to be a mid-level totem warrior. It's amazing."
Hu Luo looked at Xiong Gu. Was he praising himself or Hu Li? Having fought together before, he knew Xiong Gu's strength. He and Xiong Feng were both mid-level totem warriors, and they were in that backward continent, so they were more powerful than Hu Li.
"I see. We didn't know his origins. He is now an important member of the Tiger Tribe and has a high status in the tribe. He was accompanied by a demi-human named Xiong Anning. I heard that Xiong Anning is the messenger of the Beast God. In addition to Hu Li, there are several powerful young orcs pursuing him. After hearing this, I also want to meet this demi-human and see if he is really that good that the most outstanding young orcs on the continent are all around him."
Lizawa said this without any jealousy. He was just curious and wanted to know what kind of charm this demi-human had that attracted these outstanding demi-humans to him:
"But he does have a lot of abilities. Maybe he is really the messenger of the Beast God. Because of him, many new things have appeared on the continent. Tiger Fall, I will show them to you when we return to the tribe. This demi-human taught us how to make paper that can be used for writing, and for forging stronger iron tools. He also found a new crop for us called cotton, which can be used to weave cloth and make clothes, and can also be used to keep warm. However, it is extremely rare now, and only those large tribes and the Tiger Tribe use it."
He looked at Xiong Gu and the others curiously: "Did this subhuman come from you too? Do you also know cotton? Can you also weave cotton into cloth to make clothes? Looking at the texture of your clothes, although they are all linen, they seem to be better than ours."
Xiong Gu and his companions frowned. There were indeed some problems with this sub-human named Xiong An Ning, but the things he knew how to do, except for the crop called cotton, were already available in other Stegosaurus tribes, and even more. If Xiong An Ning was the messenger of the Beast God, then their leader was even more so.
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiong Anning is indeed from the Mangrove Tribe, but was originally picked up by Hu Li. We don't know about the cotton, and we will know the rest after seeing it. As for this linen shirt, it was made by our tribe. If you like it, you can exchange some of your tribe's items with us. However, we walked too far, so we didn't bring much luggage with us."
"That's great. I'll get something to exchange with you when I get back. Your linen clothes look very soft and must be very comfortable to wear. I'll exchange with you for my demi-humans and children." Lizawa said happily.
Hu Luo was shocked. He thought that Yuan Jing and his group from the Jianlong tribe were shocking enough, but he didn't expect that Xiong Anning, who also came from there, was no less impressive. Could it be that there was something magical in that land? Otherwise, why did everyone who came out of there have such magical qualities?
As they were talking, they arrived at the Lizard Swamp Tribe, which was also a medium-sized tribe. Like the Snake Tribe, it was located behind a swamp. To enter the tribe from the outside, one had to pass through the swamp. If one was not led by someone from the tribe, it would be easy to get stuck in the swamp. In this swamp, there were many ferocious guys raised by the Lizard Tribe. Once one fell in, it was hard to say whether one could get out.
Precisely because of this natural defense, the Lizard Lake Tribe has weathered countless storms and is still a medium-sized tribe, occupying a place on this continent.
Lizard said: "The scenery of our tribe is beautiful, isn't it? When the rainy season comes, flowers will bloom in this swamp, and it will be even more beautiful. It's a pity that a tribe has set its sights on the land where our tribe has lived for countless years. It has something to do with Xiong Anning, the sub-human."
Yuan Jing thought of She Rui and the Snake Tribe: "Could it be the She Rui and his Snake Tribe next to Xiong An Ning?"
"Yes, it's this She Rui. However, our tribe has always been united. We will not bring outsiders into the tribe just because of a few words from them. Although these people are a bit annoying, they are dreaming about seizing our tribal land!" Lizard Ze snorted. Although outsiders did not like the beast form of their lizard orcs, they did not count on the attitude of those outsiders. The people of the Lizard Tribe have always been united. If they want them to give up the tribal land where their ancestors have lived for generations, they must be all dead.
Xiong Feng frowned: "Yuanyuan, this Xiong Anning is too weird and too overbearing."
They actually set their sights on other people's tribes. If their Stegosaurus tribe's territory was targeted by someone, all the orcs and subhumans would attack together and kill the enemy.
The more he heard about Xiong An Ning, the more weird it seemed. In Xiong Feng's opinion, Xiong An Ning didn't have much ability. Compared with his Yuan Yuan, he was not even as capable as his little finger. What kind of messenger of the Beast God? It was obvious that he was trying to fool others. Yet so many people were foolish enough to believe him. It seemed that the orcs in this place were not very smart and were fooled by Xiong An Ning.
Not only Xiong Feng had such an idea, Xiong Gu, Xiong Tian, Xiong Ji and the others did the same. Paper and iron tools were already in their Jianlong tribe for a long time, and now almost every family had some iron tools. There was nothing special about Xiong An Ning in their tribe. Therefore, their impression of the big tribes here dropped a lot. They were nothing special. At most, they had more totem warriors, more people in the tribe, and a larger place. What other advantages were there?
There was also a demi-human who was followed by several orcs, which they could not accept. Now the Stegosaurus Tribe was accustomed to the rules set by Yuan Jing. The orcs and demi-humans who had formed a pact with each other needed to be loyal to each other. There was no such thing in the tribe that an orc could have children with more than one demi-human, or a demi-human could have children with more than one orc.
After everyone consciously abided by such rules, they found that life in the tribe was very harmonious and everyone was living a better and better life.
Originally, they should have been happy to hear that there were familiar orc sub-humans here, but now, they felt that maybe they should stay away from these sub-human orcs.
"Li Ze, you're back." Someone from the tribe came out to greet them.
Li Ze talked to them for a few words and then introduced Hu Luo and his companions to the people in the tribe. Everyone was surprised at the appearance of Hu Luo, but at the same time they were very grateful to them because Li Ze said that without the appearance of these people, they might have returned to the arms of the Beast God. So they received them very warmly and gave them the house for entertaining distinguished guests.
Yuan Jing and his party stayed temporarily in the Lizard Tribe.
With the help of the life-saving grace and the acquaintance of Hu Luo, Yuan Jing and his party were easily accepted by the relatively xenophobic Lizard people. Then Xiong Gu and Xiong Feng, with two other orcs, fought with the orcs of the Lizard Tribe all day long. They had a great time fighting. In the past, there were not so many orcs of equal strength in the Stegosaurus Tribe for them to compete with. Now they can finally enjoy themselves and feel that their strength is improving every day.
Needless to say, the spiritual energy in the Lizard Tribe is quite rich. After all, this is where their ancestors have lived for generations. If the conditions here were not good, they would not have chosen this place, and they would not have been targeted by the current Snake Rui.
At the same time, the people of the Lizard Tribe also expressed curiosity about the ferocious beast, the Stegosaurus, that they brought with them. Almost all the people in the tribe came out to watch and found that as long as they did not harbor hostility, the beast would not attack them and could even understand what they said. It was truly magical.
Yuan Jingze took advantage of the identity of a priest's apprentice to communicate and learn from the priests of the tribe. He did not save Lize and others. It was not easy to gain the recognition of the priests.
Yuan Jing did not look down on these natives, nor was he stingy with his knowledge of herbs and some treatment methods. The priests here were much more capable of treating diseases than the priests in the mangroves and the bear tribe. Of course, they could not be compared with Yuan Jing, who had traveled through several worlds and was proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine.
Yuan Jing was so generous that the priest couldn't be too secretive, so he told Yuan Jing the herbal knowledge he knew. As expected, this increased Yuan Jing's knowledge of the herbal medicine in this world. He had just come to this continent and had just begun to understand the plants and herbs here. The knowledge reserves of the lizard priests were also passed down from generation to generation.
There are abundant herbal resources growing around the Lizard Tribe, many of which are spiritual herbs. With these abundant herbs, Yuan Jing has made considerable progress in his research on how to purify the violent energy in the beast core.
The priest told the tribe leader about the subhuman Bao Yuanjing behind his back: "This priest apprentice is very knowledgeable. The priests in his tribe must be even better. I really want to go out and visit the priest in their Jianlong tribe. It turns out that we still need to go out and communicate."
Fortunately, Yuan Jing did not hear this, otherwise he would not know what expression he should make. Now the only priest of the Stegosaurus Tribe is the Horse Priest. Those who joined later did not have the status of priests, but a lot of knowledge of the Horse Priest was learned from Yuan Jing. When the priest of the Lizard Tribe arrives at the Stegosaurus Tribe and communicates with the Horse Priest, he will definitely know the truth.
The tribe leader was very curious: "I heard from Lizhe that they came here with Huluo. Huluo has been on the other side of the river for many years. Isn't that a barren land? How could there be such a powerful tribe?"
"Maybe they come from farther away. Even the large tribes can't tell how big the Orc Continent is. In addition to the people from the Stegosaurus Tribe, isn't Xiong An Ning also from the other side of the river? He is recognized by the priests of both the Wolf Tribe and the Lion Tribe."
The tribe leader said unhappily, "Isn't Xiong Anning in the same group as She Rui? This time, Lize and the other three orcs were in danger outside. I suspect it has something to do with them. Lize said that the people of the Jianlong tribe knew Xiong Anning and She Rui."
"Indeed, they are from the same place. But don't worry, Chief. Others dare not say that this apprentice of Bao Yuanjing priest is a different person from Xiong Anning. He is very generous and taught me a lot of new knowledge, so I also gave him the herbal knowledge I know. He is a very good sub-human with a broad mind."
"Their arrival is a good thing for our Lizard Tribe. I can feel that the trajectory of fate is changing."
The chief trusted the priest very much and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. I hope our Lizard Tribe can get through this difficult time."
Lizhe was also talking to Huluo. His cub was much older than Hufeng, and he was just right for his younger brother to play with in the tribe. The little tiger cub was quite popular among the little orcs and Asians in the tribe.
"Have you really not decided to return to the Tiger Tribe? They can accept Hu Li, but they can't accept you?" Compared to Hu Li, Hu Luo was born and raised in the Tiger Tribe, so he should have a deeper relationship with him.
