He quickly shook his head and said:
"That kid is impulsive. Maybe a new female has come to the farm and he doesn't want to come out anymore. We'll find out when we get back and ask him."
Daqing was in his early twenties, while other orcs were already looking for partners.
Su Tang still felt something was wrong.
Given Daqing's still clueless appearance, she didn't think he would be interested in females.
Before long, Hu Shen and the orcs who had gone out hunting returned one after another.
The orcs hunted in separate groups, and the last one to return, an eagle-clan orc, came to Su Tang in a hurry.
"A-Tang, I... I think I just saw Big Green in the forest!"
The beastmen all knew that Daqing had missed the group, and they had been keeping an eye on Daqing's whereabouts along the way, but they had not been able to find him.
Su Tang stood up excitedly, "Really? Why didn't Da Qing come back with you?"
The eagle-clan orc's expression was complicated. "I called him, but he just ran away and ignored me."
“Are you sure you saw Daqing? Or are you seeing things? It’s normal to encounter other beastmen in the forest,” Su Jianyuan said from the side.
The eagle-clan beastman shook his head. "No, I couldn't be mistaken. That beastman looks exactly like Daqing's beast form, but his color is different from our eagle-clan's. I can recognize him at a glance."
Su Tang looked at Su Jianyuan, puzzled.
If it really is Daqing, why would it run away as soon as it sees the orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?
Could something have really happened to Daqing?
Su Jianyuan also looked puzzled.
"Hu Ming, take ten orcs and follow him to the place where you just saw Da Qing." Hu Shen gave the order immediately upon hearing this.
"yes."
Hu Ming immediately led the orcs away.
"Don't worry, since Daqing is around here, he won't be far away anytime soon," Hu Shen comforted him.
Su Tang nodded.
The beastmen were all hungry from their journey, so they killed their prey by the lake, lit a fire, and prepared to eat and replenish their strength.
Now that they have the means, they mostly eat cooked meat and no longer eat raw meat or drink raw blood, which greatly reduces the chances of orcs getting sick.
Not a single orc fell behind on the way.
Just as Su Tang finished feeding Si Bao, Hu Ming returned with the orcs.
He was accompanied by a strange orc.
"I'm not some big shot, I told you I don't know you, let me go, let me go..."
"Hu Ming, who is he?"
Su Tang looked at the orc with a puzzled expression.
Behind Hu Ming was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, who was struggling and looked fierce.
“We couldn’t find Daqing, but we found him near the place where Daqing disappeared. He looked exactly like Daqing in his beast form, so we brought him back.”
Hu Ming explained.
"If it wasn't Daqing, then how did you manage to bring him back?" Su Jianyuan asked, puzzled.
Hu Ming scratched his head. "I originally wanted to ask him if he had seen Da Qing, but as soon as he heard that we were from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, he ran away. I thought he was acting strangely, so I caught him and brought him back."
"Hey kid, why are you running?" Su Jianyuan turned to ask the boy.
The boy was furious. "You bunch of orcs are chasing me, how can I not run!"
"Have you ever seen Da Qing? He looks just like your beast form," Su Tang asked.
“All the orcs in my tribe look just like me. I’ve never seen a Big Green before, and I don’t know any of them. There’s no such orc in the tribe. Everyone says you’ve captured the wrong orc. Please release me now.”
The boy was so excited that his face turned red and his neck bulged as he shouted.
“We made a mistake, kid. Sorry. Hu Shen, let him go.” Su Jianyuan looked at Hu Shen.
Hu Shen nodded and said apologetically to the boy, "If you see a beastman named Da Qing who looks like you in beast form, please tell us."
The boy wanted to continue cursing, but when he met Tiger God's deep eyes, he suddenly couldn't say a word.
He swallowed hard and nodded somewhat guiltily.
Hu Shen raised his hand to signal the orcs behind him to let go, and the boy immediately started to walk out.
Just then, Su Tang's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"Wait! What's that behind you?"
Upon hearing Su Tang's words, the boy turned and ran without looking back.
Hu Shen's eyes darkened, and he quickly pulled the man back, pinning his arm and forcing him to kneel on the ground with a thud.
The other party was powerless to resist.
During the movement, a black dagger fell from the boy's waist.
Su Tang picked it up, and when the beasts saw the dagger clearly, their expressions darkened.
"This is Da Qing's dagger!"
She recognized him at a glance.
This dagger is the same size as the one she uses. Su Jianyuan specially commissioned the bamboo bear beastman to make it to fit the size of her hand. There were only two of them.
They were originally meant for her, but Daqing, being a child at heart, insisted on having them when she saw them, so she gave one to Daqing.
She still has that dagger on her!
Su Jianyuan's face darkened, and he kicked him in the lower back: "You little brat, you still dare to lie to us! Tell me, where is Daqing? Has he been arrested by you?"
This boy is a weakling; it's obvious he has other orcs behind him.
"Ah... I, I didn't lie, I really don't know any Da Qing, please don't hit me..." The boy cried out in pain and begged for mercy in fear.
“This is Daqing’s stuff. You’ve never seen Daqing before, so where did this come from?” Su Tang asked coldly.
"I don't know, I picked it up. I don't know whose it is. I just picked it up because it looked sharp. I really don't know who the orcs you're looking for are..."
Su Tang frowned and looked at Hu Shen.
The latter stepped forward, took the dagger from her hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the dagger pierced the boy's arm with a soft thud.
"Ahh!"
"Do you recognize me now?" Hu Shen asked expressionlessly.
The boy turned pale when he saw the sharp dagger on his arm.
He shook his head, then nodded sharply.
"I really don't know it... Wait! Hold on, don't hit me. I know the tribe recently captured an orc, and this thing was found on that orc. I secretly took it out to play with."
"That's all I know. Whether that orc is the Daqing you're looking for is none of my business!"
The boy hurriedly explained and clarified his situation.
"Which tribe are you from? What does the orc you captured look like?" Su Tang continued to press.
The boy hesitated for a moment, and Hu Shen pulled the dagger from his arm.
Fresh blood gushed out like water being sprayed.
He made a move to stab a second time.
"Ah!! I said, I'm from the Azure Eagle tribe. I've never seen what that orc looks like. If you want to see him, I... I can take you back to the tribe..."
The boy was so frightened that his legs went weak.
"Azure Eagle Tribe? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Su Jianyuan muttered to himself, looking puzzled. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead. "I remember now! It's the tribe of those two dim-witted siblings!"
The Azure Eagle Tribe is none other than the tribe of Ying Yiyi and her brother Ying Tai!
Those two siblings were quite annoying; Su Tang, Su Jianyuan, and Hu Shen all remembered them.
