Before Lionda could answer, Lionfell suddenly saw the narrow, dark path ahead open up into a bright and clear space.
"This is... out of the canyon? Doesn't the canyon only have one exit? What's going on..."
Lion Feather stared in astonishment at the scene before him.
Shida, standing to the side, had a dark look in his eyes and explained skillfully:
“Little chieftain, the sacred stone is not in the canyon. The chieftain was worried that Hu Shen would steal the sacred stone, so he hid it in another tribe.”
"This secret passage leading out of the canyon was specially dug by the chief for the young chief, in case Hu Shen attacked the tribe, to leave the young chief an escape route."
In reality, this was a backup plan that Lion Sky had prepared for himself. He originally intended to use the canyon to attract the attention of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and then lead another tribe that had been hidden in advance to seize Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Before they could even use it, Hu Shen came knocking on their door.
Of course, Shida wouldn't tell the truth. To help the leader, he had made up countless lies to deceive Shiling, and he was already quite skilled at it.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ling felt a surge of emotion, never expecting that he was so important to his father.
He now only hopes that his father can wake up soon. He couldn't live with his father before, but once his father is cured, he will find Atang and they can live together as a family.
"Shida, let's hurry and get the divine stone to heal Father!"
"Yes, little chief."
Shida was relieved that the leader had been farsighted enough to arrange for the important supplies, the divine stones, and another group of orcs to be stored elsewhere.
Otherwise, we would have been wiped out by Hu Shen today.
With their own thoughts, the two hurriedly left the canyon with several lion-clan beastmen.
Inside the canyon, the orcs who were resisting the attack from the outside were unaware that they had already become expendable pawns.
...
Lion Feather followed Lion Da at breakneck speed.
He discovered that there were caves in the middle of the mountains along the way, allowing him to pass through them without having to climb over mountains.
Lion Sky had already ordered the orcs to dig through all the mountains along the way, which would greatly shorten the travel time between tribes.
However, there were still two mountain peaks that hadn't been excavated in time, so the group had to climb over them.
Even so, they saved a great deal of time getting here.
"Shida, where are we going? Why did Father put the divine stone so far away? Is it safe there?" Shi Ling became more and more puzzled as they walked.
Wouldn't it be safer to keep the sacred stone in the tribe? How could Father put it so far away?
"We're almost there, little chief, don't worry. This tribe is very safe. Once we're inside, you'll be saved. There are plenty of supplies stored up by you, so you can rest and recuperate here with peace of mind."
As the road drew closer, Shida's anxious expression eased slightly.
He was in a hurry to save the chief and didn't try to cover his tracks along the way, but that didn't matter. Once they got into the tribe, Hu Shen wouldn't be able to hurt them.
There are enough orcs in the tribe to stop Hu Shen and his men.
Although Lionfeather was puzzled, he could only focus on continuing his journey.
Soon, he finally spotted a tribe with orcs.
"Shida, is that the tribe?"
The distant tribe appeared to be on a mountain, a dark mountain whose vegetation, from a distance, seemed to be a deeper, greener shade than the other mountains, as if it had been stained with ink.
"That's right, this tribe is called the Black Mountain Tribe. The earth dragon beastmen in it are also the chief's followers. This tribe also has a kind of stone that can burn. The chief plans to bring the young chief here when the snow season arrives."
"The chief stored the sacred stones and supplies in the Black Mountain tribe..."
A hint of excitement flashed in Shida's eyes, and he couldn't help but introduce it to Shiling.
"Earth Dragon Beastmen? But those beastmen don't look like Earth Dragon Beastmen to me..." Lion Feather stared intently at the entrance of the Black Mountain Tribe and suddenly spoke with suspicion.
"Don't worry, although the Earth Dragon Beastmen are a bit short, they are quite strong. With them around, the Black Mountain Tribe is very safe."
Looking at the orcs carrying large bundles of green plants and brightly colored fruits coming and going in the distance, Lionfeather asked uncertainly.
"Earth Dragon Beastmen, do they eat grass?"
Shida suddenly paused, staring intently.
The tribe, which should have been guarded by earth dragon orcs, was now occupied by a group of thin, dark-skinned orcs. These orcs were tall and clearly not earth dragon orcs.
He was completely bewildered. What was going on? Had he gone to the wrong tribe? Wasn't this place already occupied by the Earth Dragon Orcs?
The group of orcs immediately braked.
Lionda cautiously sent an orc to scout the situation, and soon the lion orc returned, his face pale.
"Oh no! The Earth Dragon Chieftain has been killed, and the Black Mountain Tribe has been taken over by other orcs!"
Shida's face instantly darkened. The supplies and sacred stones that the chief had stored in the Black Mountain Tribe were all gone!
"Father!" Just then, Lion Heaven suddenly coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"No, the chief can't wait any longer. I'm going in to get the divine stone. I must get it for the chief today." Shida gritted his teeth, preparing to steal the divine stone from the Black Mountain tribe.
Now we can only hope that these orcs haven't discovered the existence of the divine stone.
However, the lion-orc's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"It's gone. The divine stone isn't here anymore. A group of orcs left a few days ago, taking all the important supplies with them..."
Upon hearing this, Shida and Shiling felt a chill in their hearts.
at the same time.
Hu Shen personally led the orcs to attack the canyon. The orcs' morale soared, and they quickly breached the canyon.
"Your Majesty, all the lion-clan orcs in the canyon have been captured! Those who resisted have been dealt with!"
