The gray wolf orc hesitated, "But...didn't the leader say that we should go back as soon as possible after we finished exchanging White Stone?"
The lead orc glared at him. "What do you know? Every time we come to exchange for White Stone, we stay for a whole day before leaving. Are you going to listen to you or me?"
He was the oldest, and although not the strongest, he was the most experienced orc in the tribe.
In the past, whenever we came to replace Shiraishi, he was the one leading the team.
"I'll listen to you." The gray wolf orc lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
Seeing this, the other gray wolf orcs exchanged glances and secretly grinned.
After sending him away under the pretext of finding a place to rest, the other gray wolf beastmen burst into laughter.
"This kid is really stubborn, just like that taciturn Wolf Strong!"
"That's right. The more white stones we can exchange, the more benefits we can get. This kid is really clueless."
"Boss Wolf Iron, it's all thanks to your brilliant idea, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat much White Stone all year round."
Several gray wolf orcs were showering each other with compliments.
Wolf Iron was overjoyed by the flattery and laughed:
"It's all thanks to everyone, all thanks to everyone, haha..."
Every time they came to exchange for white stones, they would delay the process, and when they returned, they would make an excuse that the exchange had not gone smoothly, secretly hiding some of the white stones.
Over the years, they have used this method to secretly hoard and eat a lot of white stones, and no orc has ever suspected them.
It works every time.
One of the gray wolf orcs, with a mean-looking face, said, "That idiot Lang Zhuang, if he hadn't disrupted our plans last time, we wouldn't have lost so many white stones."
The gray wolf orc beside him sneered, "That idiot, he even tried to expose us. If it weren't for Wolf Iron's cleverness in breaking one of his arms, he would have been delaying us again. Boss is really something!"
A group of orcs burst into laughter.
"By the way, Boss Wolf Iron, how did you shut that kid up?" the gray wolf orc asked curiously.
Wolf Iron chuckled, "That idiot, I don't know what his relationship is with Wolf Qi, but he keeps sending him prey every now and then. I found out by accident."
“He was afraid I would tell Lang Qi and his partner, so he promised me he wouldn’t tell anyone.”
He even willingly lost an arm for this.
What an idiot!
The gray wolf orcs took it as a joke.
They exchanged four bags of white stones for supplies today. After counting them, they found a place to rest.
The orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain all live in caves. They are outsiders and only sleep for one night, so they just make do with whatever place they can find.
So he found an open space, and since no one was keeping watch, he just went to sleep.
Who would have thought that just as they were happily dreaming, Mount Ten Thousand Beasts was suddenly thrown into chaos!
A fierce orc, who had wandered in from who-knows-where, started fighting with the orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Many orcs harbored malicious intentions and took advantage of the chaos to plunder.
Wolf Iron and his orcs were not spared either. In the chaos, half of the white stone was stolen, and the orcs were attacked by the intruding orcs.
The beasts were filled with regret; they should have listened to that fool and left sooner.
In the end, they managed to escape in the chaos, some injured, some crippled, and they were in a sorry state.
The turmoil at Mount Ten Thousand Beasts did not subside until late at night.
With the blessing of the divine fruit, Yingjie and his group of beastmen were greatly encouraged and successfully regained control of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain with almost no effort.
"My lord, we have reclaimed Mount Ten Thousand Beasts!"
"Great! Thanks to the Beast God's protection, if he hadn't sent that orc to deliver the secret passage, we wouldn't have been able to defeat Lion Sky and his traitors so easily."
The beastmen were overjoyed and even regarded Su Jianyuan as an envoy sent by the Beast God.
Su Jianyuan suddenly appeared, brought them divine fruit, and told them the path up the mountain before disappearing just as suddenly as if he had come specifically for them.
However, Hu Shen did not show much joy as he made his way to the Beast King's cave.
After the old Beast King passed away, Lion King took over the cave and lived there ever since.
Hu Shen immediately went inside to search for the cubs.
He searched the cave thoroughly but couldn't find the five cubs, or even any trace of their existence.
Just then, a black eagle swooped down outside the cave.
"Your Majesty, Lion Sky has escaped with the Lion Clan beastmen!" Eagle Swift said anxiously.
Hu Shen frowned, but only looked at the other orcs and asked in a cold voice:
"Have you found the cubs?"
The other orcs who were sent to find the cubs shook their heads. "Your Majesty, we have searched the entire Beast Mountain, but we have not found the cubs."
"We didn't find it either..."
The orcs all gave the same answer.
Upon hearing this, Hu Shen's face darkened.
His orcs knew the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain inside and out, and their search skills were the best in the entire mountain. If they said something wasn't there, then it meant the cubs weren't there.
Where will the cubs be?
"Your Majesty, what if Lion Sky took the cubs?" Eagle Swift said, mustering his courage.
"Now is the perfect time to pursue Lion Sky. As long as Lion Sky remains, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will never have peace. Your Majesty, perhaps capturing Lion Sky will allow us to find out where the cubs are. Let's hurry and capture Lion Sky!"
As the king's most loyal subordinate, his job is to eliminate all orcs who are detrimental to the king.
Lion Sky must die!
Hu Shen's eyes turned cold, and his sharp gaze fell on Ying Jie.
Those deep, beastly eyes seemed to see through everything.
"Eagle Swift, how dare you!"
He then realized that Ying Jie had been misleading him all along. Whether it was attacking back the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain or chasing Lion Sky, what he had always wanted to do was not to find the cub.
