"Shh!"
"Don't make a sound. I mean you no harm. I'll let you go if you promise not to make a sound."
A soft, clear female voice came from beside me.
Su Tang realized that she was just covering her mouth, as if afraid that she would scream, and did not do anything else to harm herself.
He nodded and agreed.
The female behind her then carefully released her.
Su Tang turned around and saw a pair of bright eyes in the darkness.
By the moonlight, she could vaguely see that the other person was a tall, beautiful female.
"Who are you?"
Su Tang looked confused.
It was a bit awkward.
She was just doing *that*, could this female have been watching the whole time?
I've never been this humiliated in my life.
“My name is Ying Liu’er, and I am a female from the Qingying tribe.” Ying Liu’er said, probably noticing the fleeting embarrassment in Su Tang’s eyes.
She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was afraid of being discovered by other orcs, so I could only come to find you at this time."
Su Tang blinked, as if she had just realized something. "Could it be that you sent away the orcs who were monitoring outside?"
Ying Liuer nodded.
Do you recognize me?
“I don’t know you, but I know the orc who was sacrificed, and I know why he is unconscious.”
Su Tang looked into Ying Liuer's clear and bright eyes, and the concern in them was genuine.
She immediately understood what was going on and pulled Ying Liu'er's hand to walk outside.
"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
Under the tree.
Hu Shen frowned when he saw Su Tang go in alone, but come out holding hands with a female.
When did Atang meet a female?
Su Tang briefly explained Ying Liuer's purpose for coming. Hu Shen didn't say anything. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no beastmen around, the three of them quickly returned to the tree hole.
"You said you knew why Daqing fell into a coma, is that true?"
As soon as they returned to the tree hollow, Su Tang couldn't wait to ask.
The light inside the tree hollow was still dim, and one could vaguely see the serious expression on Ying Liu'er's face.
"His unconsciousness was not due to injury at all, but because he was fed the blood of that strange bird."
Su Tang and Hu Shen listened intently, their brows furrowing more and more tightly.
The strange bird that Yingliuer mentioned is the feather god worshipped by the Qingying tribe.
Other tribes worship beast gods, but the Green Eagle tribe does not. They worship the Feather God and offer sacrifices to the Feather God every month to seek his protection.
And this Feather God is a strange bird with nine heads.
It truly exists.
Blood would flow from one of the nine-headed bird's heads, and that blood could make orcs sick, fall into a coma, and die silently.
"You mean, Daqing drank the blood of this nine-headed bird, which is why he's unconscious, and if he doesn't wake up, he'll die?"
Su Tang felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.
She knew that the clan chief had ulterior motives for keeping them here.
The world is full of wonders, and the ancient continent was so vast that it's normal for there to be some inexplicable and mysterious things.
She did not question the truthfulness of Ying Liu'er's words.
If it were fake, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get close to me just to deceive me.
Ying Liuer clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger.
"That's right, that strange bird isn't a feathered god at all, it's just a vicious beast! What god's blood could kill a beastman and then eat him every month!"
"The clan chief and the shaman are both senile!"
Su Tang also felt that this thing had nothing to do with "god".
But that's not what she's concerned about right now.
"Is there any way to save Daqing?" Su Tang asked.
Hearing Su Tang's question, Ying Liu'er's anger subsided somewhat.
She frowned and said:
"There is a solution, but it's very dangerous."
"There's only one way to wake him up: get the monster bird's tears."
“I have observed that this strange bird sheds a tear every time it eats an offering; this is the only way to save it.”
"Tears?" Su Tang glanced at Hu Shen, whose expression was equally solemn, as if he was already pondering how to find this strange bird.
"Where can we find the bird you're talking about?" Hu Shen asked after a moment of thought.
If he knew where the nine-headed bird was, he would take Ah Tang and Da Qing out first.
It's not safe for her to stay here; he's worried about her.
Ying Liu'er shook her head, "We can't find it. No orc knows where that strange bird is. It only appears during shamanic rituals."
In other words, we can see the nine-headed bird as soon as we wait for the next sacrificial ceremony.
Su Tang suddenly remembered something, "You just said that your tribe holds a sacrificial ceremony once a month, so the next one won't be until a month later?"
In a month, the snow season will be over.
She and Hu Shen couldn't possibly wait here until the snow season.
Besides, my brother and Niu Li are still waiting outside to return to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!
Just as Su Tang was worrying, Ying Liuer explained:
"You don't need to wait a month. This sacrifice failed, and he was brought back as a sacrifice. The shaman will definitely prepare for a new sacrifice as soon as possible."
"The shaman said that if the strange bird did not eat the offerings, it would punish the tribe and bring disaster."
Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Thankfully, it would have been really troublesome if we had to wait a month.
After some discussion, Su Tang and Hu Shen gained a general understanding of the situation of the Qingying Tribe.
After she finished speaking, Su Tang suddenly looked at Ying Liuer with curiosity.
Why are you helping us?
This female was different from any of the orc females she had seen before.
