But that's not all. The injured and unable to move gray chief did not come to participate. The black and ugly chief was criticized by other chiefs and was worried that the envoy would see that he was in a bad mood, so he did not let him come, thus allowing them to escape disaster.
The first one to discover that something was wrong was Chief Heichou, but it was too late. The other chiefs had all been killed, and the tribesmen were lying down, and some even died silently, which scared the remaining conscious orcs!
How did they die? Did they anger the messenger and the beast god punish them?
Chief Heichou became the backbone of the tribe. Listening to the speculations among his fellow tribesmen, he felt afraid.
Because the deaths were so strange, the tribesmen had their necks cut while they lay motionless. He did find traces of sharp claws, but he didn't dare to confirm them.
If they were killed, why was there no smell left?
And with so many people dead, it definitely couldn't have been done by one person. With so many people in their tribe, couldn't they have noticed those who sneaked in and killed people?
It couldn't be a problem with the food, because everyone ate the same thing, and the bodies of the murdered people showed no signs of poisoning. Instead, it looked more like they were killed after eating and drinking enough and falling asleep...
The Heichou tribe leader had all kinds of doubts in his heart, and in the end he started to feel uneasy!
He didn't care about the cause of death of others. He packed up his things at night, gathered his tribesmen and ran away.
As soon as they left, the other orcs who had lost their chief became even more at a loss. What should they do now that their chief is gone?
Some of them were more cunning. Once they saw that the patriarch was dead, they no longer cared about the envoys. After all, it was unclear whether the envoys were dead or alive. They just took the rest of the people back quickly. Maybe they could still compete for the next patriarch!
This was part of Shu Yue's plan. They had to come and go quietly, and run away as soon as they succeeded. They had to prevent them from seeing where the enemy was, creating a sense of fear and scaring them to death.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. The enemy was scared away before they even launched a formal attack.
When Miao Xiaocui and the others returned to the tribe, they were warmly comforted by the tribe leader. "You've all been frightened. Get some sleep tonight. We'll talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
Females like Miaomiao, who had families to pick them up, went back with their families.
Bailing was not alone. She was brought back by Humao, and he also sent her back to her residence. Along the way, one of them was silent and the other was cautious.
Miao Xiaocui waited and waited but Dasen still didn't show up. She couldn't help but ask, "Chief, where is Dasen?"
The little Wu beside him also asked: "Chief, doesn't my partner know that I'm back?"
“…”
The chief sighed deeply, his tone heavy, "I have some bad news for you. Of the orcs who escorted you back from the barbarian tribe, only two survived. The rest are dead."
“……!”
Females who couldn't wait for their partners felt like they were struck by lightning!
Miao Xiaocui's face turned pale instantly. "Chief, are you saying that Dasen is dead...dead?"
Xiao Wu looked dazed, "My partner is dead too?"
The chief nodded heavily and said, "None of us wanted this to happen, but we were ambushed..." He couldn't say the rest because the females in front of him were already crying.
Xiao Wu returned home full of joy, but the man who was supposed to be waiting for her at home was dead. How could he die? He was still young, and she hadn't given birth to a child for him yet! This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
