Chapter 80: Innocent People
This section of the river has been polluted by Crocodile Meng's blood, so Long Chen took Ange upstream.
After taking a hot bath, Chu Ange felt so comfortable as if every pore was opened to breathe and his whole body was warm.
The people in the salt exchange team were no longer surprised to see the two of them coming back refreshed and in high spirits.
When they were in the tribe, they could see Long Chen boiling water every night without fail. Later they found out that he was boiling water for Ange to take a bath.
It was inconvenient to go out and exchange salt, but no matter how limited the conditions were, he could always boil a pot of water for Ange to take a bath before going to bed.
It rained continuously for a week. Not only did they not eat well, they also did not sleep well, let alone take a bath. When they got wet, they relied on their body temperature to warm themselves up and then dry themselves off. The whole team was filled with the stinking smell of fermented animal skins.
Only Chu Ange was different from them. Even if it was raining, Long Chen would build a temporary shelter for her with animal skins and let her take a hot bath every two days.
Those who were able to participate in the salt exchange this time were all orcs selected by Long Chen who were strong enough to carry goods, and almost no agile warriors were allowed to participate.
There was only one exception.
That is Monkey Seven. He is agile and runs fast, but he is not very strong and is very young, having just reached adulthood not long ago.
Such a person would never be selected to participate in the salt exchange mission, but this time Long Chen singled him out and specifically asked him to come out to exchange salt.
Everyone in the tribe who was not chosen envied him very much, and he was also very happy, thinking that he was finally favored by the Dragon God and could contribute to the tribe.
However, after leaving the tribe, Long Chen not only did not allow him to help carry the goods, he even did not allow him to participate in camping and hunting.
He had only one mission on this trip, which was to carry and guard the water-boiling pot that Chu Ange used for bathing...
"As long as you are alive, the pot is alive. Even if the pot dies, you don't have to go back to the tribe." This is what Long Chen said to him.
He is a true scapegoat.
As soon as the two of them appeared, Langlin came over and said to Long Chen, "Chief, we need to go catch some prey."
After traveling non-stop for a week, they had hardly hunted, and the prey they had caught had already been eaten.
A few warriors were chosen to stay behind to guard the goods, while the others went hunting.
However, Long Chen walked straight towards Chu Ange.
Chu Ange looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Long Chen took her hand and said, "Come hunting with me."
In the past, Chu Ange would wait in the camp for Long Chen to come back from hunting and feed him.
The incident with Crocodile Meng was a wake-up call for Long Chen. The little female was not safe at all in the wild, so it would be safer to keep her by his side at all times.
Wolf Forest: "...How can you bring a female with you when hunting? It would be safer for you to stay in the camp."
Long Chen looked at him coldly: "Only useless trash dare not bring females hunting."
Wolf Forest: "We can't protect the messenger when we hunt. If she is hurt by a wild beast, the Dragon God will be angry."
Not only will the Dragon God be angry, but he will also not be able to report to the priest.
Long Chen took it very seriously and nodded: "If she is injured, the Dragon God will definitely be angry, but..."
"Only a useless piece of shit would be unable to protect his own little female while hunting."
Langlin: “…” Every sentence doesn’t mention him, but every word has him.
In the end, Wolf Forest could not persuade him and was forced to agree to let the envoy go hunting with him.
Even if it means risking my life, I must protect the envoy's safety.
However, he had too many concerns...
Long Chen alone could do the work of all of them, and they didn't even need to do anything. A huge crocodile was easily killed by him.
"Why do I feel like the leader is venting his anger by killing this alligator? When did this fish offend the leader?"
Another man swallowed and shook his head: "I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've encountered a crocodile."
Langlin hit them on the head and said, "Stop mumbling and move the meat."
He had a rough guess. When he came to investigate the situation ahead, he passed by the downstream of the river and saw a corpse. Its animal form was that of a Deinocrocodile.
Alligators are extremely aggressive, have thick flesh and even thicker skin, and are extremely difficult to kill.
When he saw the crocodile, he deliberately ordered the hunting team to bypass it to avoid a head-on confrontation.
But Long Chen just took a glance at it, his hatred value instantly increased, and he rushed over directly, killing it in two or three hits.
This alligator is a pure wild animal. It can make Long Chen so angry. He guessed that it is likely that the orc offended the envoy, which led to this disaster and affected innocent people.
Long Chen was not a petty person. Sometimes when they offended him, he would just glance at them coldly and move on.
Only if you offend the envoy will you touch his reverse scale and lose your life.
Just as they were moving the meat, a larger Deinocrocodile rushed out from the swamp nearby, opened its mouth and bit towards Wolf Forest, its eyes red as if it was here to avenge the dead Deinocrocodile.
There was no time for everyone to react as Langlin was about to be swallowed by the crocodile.
At this time, a snake tail covered with glittering black and gold scales swept across and cut the crocodile in half. The snake tail was like a sharp blade, leaving a deep crack on the crocodile's body.
The snake had a human body and a snake tail, and was holding a beautiful little female in its arms.
Before Wolf Forest could recover from his shock, he fell into another kind of shock.
Long Chen...why is he a half-orc?
Orcs are the ominous orcs that are cursed by the Dragon God and cannot truly awaken!
Long Chen killed the crocodile, stood up with its tail, and hung in the air, looking down at everyone.
"Why, you also think I'm an ominous orc?"
Before anyone could answer, Chu Ange hugged his neck tightly, looked at Langlin and the others and said, "He is not an ominous orc."
Long Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Ange without saying anything.
Chu Ange continued, "He has a complete beast form, and can change back to human form at will. He is blessed by the Dragon God, and is a super beastman with one more form than you."
Langlin was silent for a while, then nodded vigorously in agreement: "The envoy is right."
This was said by the envoy herself. She is the envoy of the Dragon God. How could what she said be false?
Everyone finally reacted, their eyes shining with envy, they were extremely envious of Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at Chu Ange with eyes full of doting - he was actually being protected by his own wife.
Everyone looked at Long Chen, who usually kept strangers away and had a cold face. At this moment, pink bubbles appeared all over his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise... He looked worthless, and everyone was a little speechless.
