Chapter 249 First Combination
With a loud "boom," the sound of wooden planks shattering echoed from the cliff face.
Riley lunged forward and hugged Jiang Xi. Then, vines flew out from his sleeves, wrapped around tree branches, and pulled the two of them onto the branches just as the wooden house collapsed.
Silver and red light cascaded down the cliff, causing one wooden house to collapse, which in turn triggered the collapse of four or five other wooden houses around it.
Fortunately, no one lived near room number one, so nothing serious happened.
But the orcs and females living in the wooden houses on the other side of the cliff were startled. They opened their doors and windows and then stood there stunned.
"What...what happened..."
"..."
"Naffel! Nakan!"
Jiang Xi stood on a tree branch, watching the light plummet into the abyss, extremely anxious.
She turned her head to look at Riley.
How are we supposed to get down here?
Riley looked down.
The cliff wasn't particularly deep, but it was still quite high. Looking down from above, he could see the two beams of supernatural light merging together.
He frowned.
"The Serpent Clan?"
He looked at the female envoy, "Are they the Serpent Clan?"
Jiang Xi nodded quickly and asked, "How do we get down?"
As she spoke, she tried to break free from Riley's hand, walk towards the tree, and then figure out a way to get down to the bottom of the cliff.
Riley grabbed her and shook his head.
"If they are of the Serpent Clan, this should be their first time uniting, which is why there's such a commotion. Don't get close, or you'll get hurt."
Jiang Xi paused for a moment, then belatedly uttered the two words, "fusion..."
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion; she forgot that they were of the Serpent Clan and could merge.
But have they already reached the point of fusion?
Jiang Xi frowned slightly, but she didn't rush to go down.
Just then, a familiar yet hesitant voice rang out from not far away.
"Female...?"
Jiang Xi turned her head to look, and then her eyes lit up.
"Yang!"
"Why are you here!"
She quickly said to Riley.
"Let's go over there."
Riley said "Hold on tight," then hugged her and jumped down from the tree branch.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Jiang Xi scream. She quickly used her octopus-like arms and legs to hug Riley tightly.
Riley held onto a vine with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her, swinging down from the base of the tree like a pendulum.
"Yang, what are you doing here?"
Clearly, he also knew Yang.
Jiang Xi realized she had landed, and with Riley's support, her legs went weak as she stepped onto the ground.
The next second, her shoulder was supported, and a fresh, grassy scent wafted around her nose.
She turned her head to look and only saw a chin. Then she looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Hill?"
Hill helped her to her feet, saying, "Be careful, Madam."
Riley also helped her up, and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hill who had suddenly approached.
"Are you the giant rabbit who came here early this morning to sell things?"
Yang was completely stunned.
It's only been a few days since we last met, and these familiar and unfamiliar orcs are all getting so close to the female envoy.
Several angry voices interrupted the group's 'reminiscing'.
"Check out! Check out!"
"Too dangerous!"
"Hey Riley, wasn't your house supposed to be the safest? And yet, sections of it have collapsed off the cliff!"
"..."
The orcs noisily surrounded Riley and his group.
Jiang Xi was suddenly surrounded by so many tall orcs, and for a moment she felt like she would be punched away at any moment.
"Don't worry, everyone. Our Great Tree Inn is spread throughout the Giant Tree Forest. We would never let you stay in a dangerous building. Just now, an orc transformed into his beast form during a breakthrough and that's when he knocked down that row of wooden houses."
Before Riley could finish speaking, the orcs questioned him with dissatisfaction.
"Who are you trying to fool? Everyone has broken through to a higher level. What kind of breakthrough and beast form could damage a house like this?"
"That's right!"
"Check out! Get your money back!"
"..."
Riley raised his hand and pressed it down.
"We will definitely refund your room fee. Not only will we refund the money, but we will also give you the same number of nights as the number of nights you booked. You can use this service at any of our stores in Giant Forest."
Hearing him say that, the orcs fell silent.
"That's more like it!"
Riley's eyes flashed, and he continued.
"The one who just broke through was a fourth-tier orc, which is why there was such a big commotion."
The fourth tier of orcs...
Upon hearing these words, the beastmen's arrogance vanished instantly.
Even in the royal court, the fourth-tier orcs are among the strongest, not ordinary orcs to be trifled with.
Dobin buzzed up and led everyone to check out and get their money back.
Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief as the surrounding orcs left.
She looked at Yang and asked, her voice lacking conviction and confidence.
"Yang, will the royal court reimburse us?"
Yang asked in confusion, "Reimbursement?"
Jiang Xi smiled awkwardly and pointed downwards.
"My two beastmen fell down and damaged a large part of the house."
Yang paid no attention to the room, only to the first sentence.
"two?"
Which two?
Are there any beastmen he doesn't know about?
Riley added from the side, "Naffel and Nakan."
Yang: "?"
"And who is Nakan?"
Riley smiled, his gaze shifting between the female envoy and Yang.
"It was my oversight. How could the female envoy's arrival here be unrelated to the royal court?"
Ordinary people can hardly persuade a female servant to serve them.
Riley stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"I heard that our Giant Tree King has dissolved his marriage contract with his former favored female..."
He paused, then looked at Jiang Xi in front of him and smiled.
"It seems that Wang Erjia also intends to marry a woman favored by the emperor."
Jiang Xi glanced at him.
"Don't talk nonsense, he invited me here for something else."
Because she was the former mistress whose marriage contract was dissolved.
Yang looked at Riley and the female servant's familiar manner, and then at the tall and handsome orc standing to the side, and instantly understood.
At that moment, Hill suddenly spoke up.
"Our Giant Rabbit tribe can compensate for the damage caused by the female beast tamer."
Riley sneered, "What do you take this place for? Do you think I'll take everyone's compensation? You bunch of vegetarian rabbits, can you even afford to pay that?"
Dobin finished handling the check-out process, then buzzed over to chime in.
"That's right!"
Xiao Ai raised her rabbit head and said unhappily.
"Our Giant Rabbit Tribe has tons of shell coins! The fruits and vegetables we grow are the most popular with the females!"
Dobin looked him up and down. "You little brat, what do you know!"
Xiao Ai also cursed at him, "You little bee! What are you so arrogant about!"
"You're not convinced?"
"You're not convinced?"
"Come and fight if you dare! Don't think we're no match for you just because we're vegetarians!"
Come on!
Come on!
Riley raised his hand and shoved the buzzing Dobbin back.
He pointed to the roots of the big tree and said to Dobin and Xiao Ai.
"You two, go fight over there, don't get in our way here."
Little Rabbit stood behind Hill with her arms crossed.
"I'm not going! I want to protect Hill!"
Dobin, with his six legs huddled together, also turned his head and snorted coldly.
"I'm not going! I'm going to protect Riley!"
Riley gave him a speechless look.
Just as he was about to speak again, a beam of light, interwoven with silver and red, suddenly rose from the bottom of the cliff and soared into the sky.
Yang looked at the beam of light, and his expression changed instantly.
"not good!"
