Sensing the wariness in Hu Shen's voice, the orc outside quickly explained:
"I... I meant no harm. My father sent me to bring you water."
Seeing that it was a female, Hu Shen stopped talking and looked at Su Tang.
"Come in," Su Tang said to the female outside the door, knowing that Hu Shen was letting her make the decision.
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures walked in from outside the door.
The female who had spoken was walking in front. The cave was dark, but Su Tang could still see that the female had delicate features, a sweet face, and an oval face. She looked well-behaved and, like her voice, a little shy, as if she would blush when she spoke.
However, it was too dark in the cave, so Su Tang couldn't see whether her face was red or not.
Beside the female was a boy about the same height as her, the same boy who had just prevented them from coming in.
The two of them each held a stone basin filled with clean water.
"Little girl, who is your father?" Su Jianyuan looked at her a few more times after seeing her put the water on the ground.
Such shy and quiet females were rare on the ancient continent.
Most females are like tigresses, not to be trifled with.
The female in front of him looked like an innocent little white rabbit, and like Xiao Mao, she was rather thin and pitiful.
"My name is Tu Momo, and my father is..." Tu Momo explained shyly.
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Mao interrupted him.
"MoMo's father is Uncle Gan, our leader." Xiao Mao seemed to emphasize the word "leader" on purpose.
rabbit?
No wonder this tribe lives underground; it turns out they are a rabbit tribe.
The long ears you just saw are the ears of the baby rabbits here.
Su Tang suddenly realized that this boy named Xiao Mao seemed to harbor some strong hostility towards her brother.
She smiled at Tu Momo, "My name is Atang. This is my elder brother and our leader. Please thank your father for bringing us the water."
She gave a brief introduction, being careful not to conceal Hu Shen's true identity.
Rabbit Momo quickly waved her hand, "No, no need to be so polite. You gave us so many white stones, we should have treated you properly, but... our tribe doesn't have much food, you shouldn't eat those..."
She spoke with a hint of shame in her voice.
There are too many orcs. Even if you took out all the food from their tribe, it wouldn't be enough to fill their teeth.
Moreover, these are all carnivorous orcs; their tribe is vegetarian.
"It's alright, it's alright, having water is already very good," Su Jianyuan said with a smile.
Hearing Su Jianyuan's words, Tu Momo became even more embarrassed.
Seeing that the two didn't seem to be leaving, Su Tang asked her softly, "Mo Mo, is there anything else?"
The female's eyes were clean and clear, and even she, a woman herself, couldn't bear to speak loudly to her.
Rabbit Momo nodded and gently pushed Little Mao.
Xiao Mao then reluctantly came out.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were evil beasts, that's why I didn't want you to come in."
His actions seemed reluctant, but his apology was sincere, and it was clear that he wasn't forced.
He only realized he had misunderstood these beastmen after seeing that Su Jianyuan had actually given Uncle Gan a bag of white stones, and he felt very guilty.
But he remained stubborn.
"They look fierce and menacing, and with such a large group of orcs suddenly barging into the tribe, how am I supposed to know if they'll seize our tribe..."
At this time.
After Sibao finished eating the dried meat, he crawled into a small bag.
That was a backpack that Su Tang made for it. Si Bao saw that everyone was carrying their own luggage and wanted one too, so she made two bags for it.
When traveling, they can be strapped to your back on either side without falling off.
Sibao's head was too big to fit, so it stuck its butt out, swishing its tail back and forth, and tried to pry its way in with its paws.
Several large fruits rolled out.
Sibao held a fruit in its paws and nibbled on it with practiced ease, filling the cave with the sweet aroma of the fruit.
Xiao Mao stared intently at Si Bao, and couldn't help but swallow.
His eyes were filled with envy.
...
A few minutes later.
Tu Momo and Xiao Mao sat opposite Su Tang and the others, each holding a carrot that Su had taken out of her backpack.
Little Mao crunched on his food, excitedly mumbling incoherently:
"I knew you were good beasts. You look majestic and powerful, and you look so righteous. How could you possibly rob our little tribe? Crunch, so delicious! This is the best fruit I've ever eaten..."
Su Tang and the other two: "..."
Rabbit Momo was holding a carrot, which was as big as her arm. She was too embarrassed to eat it, and her face turned even redder when she heard what Xiao Mao said.
She explained apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Xiao Mao didn't mean any harm. His older sister was captured by those orcs and never came back, which is why he's so wary of you."
"Those orcs?" Su Tang asked, a look of confusion on her face.
"They look strange, like lions, but with wings. They are very strong and often burn, kill, and plunder in this area. More than a dozen females have already been taken from our tribe..."
"Tu Momo said with a somewhat somber expression."
"Those beasts! When I grow up, I'll fight them to the death and avenge my sister!" Xiao Mao said with hatred, his emotions so intense that he spat out the carrot he was eating.
After saying that, he carefully picked up the carrot that had been sprayed out, put it in his mouth, and didn't want to waste a single bit.
Upon hearing this, Su Tang and the other two exchanged glances.
