Jiang Li lowered his head and continued eating the grilled fish.
But in my heart I kept thinking about what Ye Yao and Guo Xia said.
She had thought only a few orcs had been experimented on, but she hadn't expected so many.
Now only the black bear tribe and the bird tribe do not have it.
At this rate, the black bear tribe and the bird tribe will be catching up soon.
No, she couldn't let Aunt Qiao and the others get hurt.
She also needs to take time to go back to Aunt Mei.
However, Guo Xia's guess was wrong.
At the other end of the snake clan, in the cave.
Ye Sheng was lying leisurely on the stone bed eating grapes, while Raymond came in to report things to her.
"How is it? Has it been resolved?" Ye Sheng raised his eyes and looked respectfully at Lei Meng in front of him.
Raymond nodded, "Yes, we have led the mutant orcs we found to the Great Prince, and he has dealt with them all."
Ye Sheng was very happy to hear this.
"Okay, go down." He raised his hand and waved at Raymond.
Ye Sheng was in a very happy mood and rolled over several times on the stone bed.
He just wanted to find something for his cold and arrogant brother to do, so he asked Simon to lead the mutant orcs to him.
Who told him to always ignore him and be so arrogant that it makes people disgusted?
Now when Ye Sheng thought of how busy he was, he felt extremely happy.
On the other side, the three little ones, who had eaten and drunk their fill, lay on the grass. With the hot sun shining on them, they also began to feel tired. They all closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Li simply packed up the remaining grilled fish and handed it to Guo Xia.
"Give these to them when they wake up."
Guo Xia nodded and took it.
Jiang Li turned his head to look at the three little ones. Their breathing was even and their eyes were tightly closed. He guessed that the three little ones had fallen asleep.
She looked up at the sun above her head again and found that it was already afternoon and the sun was gradually setting in the west.
The reddish glow in the distance has also begun to gradually appear.
A panel showing the completed task appeared right in front of her.
The rewards given were also placed in her backpack.
"It's getting late, I should go back."
After the panel disappeared from his sight, Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at Guo Xia and Ye Yao.
Guo Xia opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised and reluctant, "Are you leaving so soon? Won't you stay a little longer? Or wait until they wake up before leaving?"
Ye Yao pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Li deeply. Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Li understood the emotions in his eyes, which was the same as Guo Xia's.
Jiang Li shook her head and looked at the three sleeping kids again, "No, I'd better leave now." She would feel even worse if the three kids woke up and cried to her.
It would be better to take the opportunity to leave secretly.
Although the three little ones will blame her for leaving secretly after they wake up, there is nothing they can do about it.
Jiang Li raised his hand and rubbed his itchy nose, continuing to think.
She has been here for quite some time.
If we leave now, it will be dark by the time we reach the Black Bear Tribe.
She also promised Xiaojie and the others that she would go back early today.
Seeing that Jiang Li was determined, Guo Xia and Ye Yao didn't say anything more.
"Let me take you there." Ye Yao said softly, his dark eyes still calm as he looked at her.
Jiang Li was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Ye Yao to suddenly say this.
Guo Xia looked at Ye Yao, then at Jiang Li, and spoke.
"Yes, Jiang Li, let Ye Yao take you there. What if something happens? Well... I'm not really cursing you, but it's better to be safe than sorry."
Hearing what Guo Xia said, Jiang Li smiled slightly.
He raised his eyes and met Ye Yao's deep black eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
Those black eyes are like the unfathomable seabed, yet they fill people with curiosity and make people want to peek into them. In just a few seconds, people will be drawn into it.
Jiang Li, who was a little dazed, quickly came to his senses and turned his head away embarrassedly.
What happened to her just now? Why was she staring into Ye Yao's eyes?
Jiang Li coughed lightly, "The road back to the Black Bear Tribe is very smooth, and basically nothing will happen. I can fly back by myself, so you don't need to send me back."
As he said that, Jiang Li stood up and was about to transform into his original form and leave.
Guo Xia hurriedly asked, "Xiao Li, when will you come back?"
After saying this, Guo Xia was slightly stunned, realizing that his words were not quite right, and quickly changed his words, raising his hand and pointing at the three sleeping kids, "I mean, what should we do if they wake up and cry to us? After all, you know, it's very troublesome to coax children. You can roughly set a time so that I can deal with them."
Jiang Li seemed to think for a moment, "Probably two or three days... I'll come back to find you then."
After hearing this answer, Guo Xia narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Okay, okay, then we'll wait for you."
"Yeah." Jiang Li nodded, looked at Ye Yao again, and said softly, "Then I'll leave."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Li transformed into his original form and flew into the sky.
Seeing Jiang Li's figure gradually going away, Guo Xia sighed, nudged Ye Yao's arm with his elbow, and looked at him teasingly with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Hey, Ye Yao, I really paid a lot for you."
Ye Yao kept staring at the direction where Jiang Li left. His protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he let out a soft sound from his nose, "Hmm."
"Ye Yao, is that all you can say? Don't you have anything else to say to me?" Guo Xia looked at Ye Yao in surprise.
Ye Yao retracted his gaze, looked at Guo Xia beside him, and asked softly, "Then what do you want?"
Seeing his cold look, Guo Xia couldn't help but pout, "At least I became your mouthpiece and helped you find out the approximate time of her next visit, don't you have any appreciation?"
Ye Yao didn't say anything, but just kept looking at him, as if waiting for his next words.
Guo Xia paused, then continued, "I want to ask, can you please not let me take the blame all the time? All the big and small things in the clan are pushed onto me, and now they don't call me by my name, but directly call me 'The Scapegoat'."
Guo Xia's ability is not very strong, and his biggest role in staying by Ye Yao's side is to take the blame.
He has to take the blame for everything.
He was even blamed for Jiang Li's sudden disappearance, which resulted in him being scolded by the Snake King for the entire day.
"I'll try my best. You're the most suitable person for this kind of thing." Ye Yao paused and added, "Besides, the title of scapegoat is also quite suitable for you."
Guo Xia opened his mouth in surprise. Just when he was about to complain about Ye Yao's dishonesty, Ye Yao spoke again, "Someone else saw Jiang Li. You can deal with the follow-up issues later."
