Chapter 29: I Can't Let You Bear the Pain Anymore
Xingkong argued with reason, causing many orcs below to talk about it.
As the Banshan tribe had just joined the Cangshan tribe, it had little room to speak. Sangjie fiddled with the campfire in front of him with a branch. His eyes swept over Teng with disdain, and then fell on Xingkong.
Xingkong from the Pterosaur Clan, she had heard of his name when she was in the Banshan Tribe.
However, she didn't expect that Xingkong was willing to offend the entire Cangshan tribe for Teng.
At this time, a figure slowly walked out from behind.
The witch held an ancient scepter in his hand. The scepter was engraved with strange runes, and it flickered faintly as he walked.
He stood steadily beside Chief Lan, raised his head slightly, and his eyes, like sharp eagle hooks, fixed their cold gaze directly on Xingkong, as if he wanted to see through him. He said in a cold voice, "This is the Cangshan Tribe, not the territory of your Pterosaur Clan. You must abide by the rules of Cangshan."
Xingkong frowned as he looked at the witch's cold and sticky gaze. If he had to say who in the Cangshan tribe he could least understand, it would be the witch in front of him.
He heard from Teng that this witch was not originally from the Cangshan tribe, but a wandering orc.
However, after entering the Cangshan tribe, he formed a pact with Chief Lan and became a witch here.
"The Beast God has unleashed his wrath. You Pterosaurs may ignore it, but we, the Snakes, cannot."
"The failure of the totem sacrifice has already foreshadowed the great crisis facing the tribe. This is the Beast God's prophecy! The only way now is to expel the Teng from the tribe! Only in this way can the Beast God's wrath be appeased!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scepter in the witch's hand slammed heavily on the ground, making a dull sound.
Xingkong's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Teng had already stood up.
He was very tall, even taller than the starry sky. His soft hair swayed as he walked. His dark green eyes swept across everyone and finally fell on one person.
"What about you? Are you going to expel me from the tribe too?"
Teng spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and broken, and every word was wrapped in the long-suppressed gloom.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw the leader of Moshan sitting at the top.
Being expelled from the tribe is the most severe punishment for orcs. It not only means facing danger alone, but also means losing totem, faith, and the protection of the beast god.
Moshan is the beast father of Teng.
Hearing Teng's words, he slowly raised his head, and his resolute face was filled with struggle and pain.
Lan turned to look at Mo Shan, frowned, and said in a cold voice, "You are the leader of the Cangshan tribe. You have to consider your people. If you don't expel Teng from the tribe, can you afford the price of the Beast God's wrath?"
When Mo Shan heard this, it was as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and his back suddenly hunched over.
In the Cangshan tribe, he has no say and cannot protect his own children.
Looking at Mo Shan's cowardly appearance, Teng suddenly laughed, his cold face full of sarcasm. It was like this, it had always been like this, no matter whether his mother was killed or he was persecuted by Fu Ying, he was always like this, leaving all the decisions to Lan, even though he was obviously the real leader of the Cangshan tribe!
Wu turned his head and exchanged a meaningful look with Lan.
He slammed the ground with his staff and announced in a cold voice, "Today, the Cangshan Tribe will expel the orc Teng and immediately strip him of his totem. From this moment on, he is no longer a member of the Cangshan Tribe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone pillar statue suddenly burst into a dazzling brilliance, and a halo emerged from it, as if it was pushed by an invisible giant hand, carrying an irresistible force, and swept towards Teng like lightning.
Stripping away the totem is tantamount to severing the bond of faith deep within the orcs' souls.
For orcs, the totem is a symbol of the Beast God's blessing. Once the totem is stripped away, it means that they will become wandering orcs from then on, completely losing the favor of the Beast God. Even their own star pattern will fall and be downgraded!
Although Teng's star pattern has been broken and his vitality has dimmed, everyone knows that after the totem is stripped off, his already weak body will become even weaker, and even worse, he may suffer a terrible backlash of the soul!
"Teng!" Xingkong was anxious and stretched out his hand suddenly, trying to grab Teng's arm.
Teng lightly pushed his hand away, staring intently at the halo surging towards her. Her cracked lips opened and closed slightly as she spoke in a hoarse voice, "I've been through worse pains before, so what are you afraid of?"
The orcs around the campfire were silent, and some timid females had closed their eyes.
At the critical moment, a voice sounded slowly, with an alluring charm and a smile, as if hiding a myriad of emotions: "I can't let you endure such pain any longer."
Fu Ying reached out and pulled Teng behind him.
Teng watched helplessly as Fu Ying stood in front of him, and the surrounding area was fluorescent!
When the light faded, Teng saw Fu Ying covered in blood. The wounds on her body were oozing blood, which looked even more shocking in the firelight. He seemed stunned, not knowing how to react.
Fu Ying raised her hand to wipe away the glaring bloodstain from the corner of her mouth. At the same time, she calmly curled up the majestic power of the totem in her palm, like an experienced hunter hiding his edge.
She greatly reduced the power of the totem, allowing only a small part to turn into wind blades. Wherever it passed, the wounds looked horrifying and bloody, but in fact, it did not cause her any substantial harm.
The trick of inflicting pain on one's self is old-fashioned, but practical.
This trick has always worked in completing tasks before. Now that she has finally encountered such a suitable opportunity, she naturally cannot miss it. She is serious about conquering this tough nut to crack.
Fu Ying was slender and covered with wounds. Blood flowed down her wounds, staining her body red. But even so, she still stood firmly in front of Teng, determined to protect him even though she was covered in wounds.
This scene, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's heart, and everyone was deeply shocked.
Xingkong looked at Fu Ying, his heart beating uncontrollably and violently, as if it was about to burst through his chest.
In this orc continent where females are respected, it has always been the males who risk their lives to protect the females. He never thought that there would be a female who would stand in front of the male so resolutely and block the fatal damage for him without hesitation.
This scene completely overturned all his previous cognition.
Fu Ying had no idea how much shock her "torture trick" had brought. She slowly raised her eyes, her gaze like frost, staring straight at Wu, her voice cold, as if wrapped in a layer of ice.
"You keep saying that the earth dragon's turning over is related to the Teng, and that it's a punishment from the Beast God. Where's the evidence?"
"You've recklessly stripped the tribe's totems based solely on your own imagination. If the Beast God still possesses a spirit, the first people it will punish are undoubtedly people like you who abuse power and disregard the lives of our tribe members!"
