Haitang, who had her back to the person, suddenly opened her eyes wide as she looked at the person lying down. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw the person behind her stabbing her with a stone knife.
His expression changed, and he grabbed the medicine box and smashed it. The medicine box contained a lot of things, and the wooden box weighed about ten pounds.
If Haitang hadn't transformed into a beast, carrying the box would have been very difficult. However, Haitang, in her beast form, didn't seem to have any difficulty. After Haitang hurled the medicine box at the human, the man was immediately smashed to the ground.
Even after being hit, the opponent was still not dead and kept attacking Haitang. To be honest, when Dongfang Long left, he was worried about her and taught her some grappling techniques.
She added force to the fight, and when she saw the person attacking, she grabbed them and pinned them to the ground, dislocating their arm. She wasn't used to fighting.
However, there is one thing: she is more skilled at dislocating human joints than anyone else. After Haitang dislocated her arm, the other party screamed in agony.
Those outside heard the commotion and immediately rushed in, only to find the person on the ground and the stone knife not far away. At that moment, even the orcs stopped fighting. "What's going on?"
"He attacked me with a stone knife," Haitang said. The tiger-beastman's expression darkened upon hearing this, and the expression of the slave people not far away also changed.
Huo Qiu rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Haitang was alright. Haitang was indeed not seriously injured, without even a scratch, but Huo Qiu was still furious because of it.
Huo Qiu looked at the people standing outside and said coldly to the bound slave, "Has our Tiger Tribe been too good to you, making you so lawless?"
At those words, the expressions of those people changed. "When you came, what did the Tiger Tribe do to you? What do your hardships, resentments, and hatred in other tribes have to do with us? You're kind to us... but we're kind to you, and you still want to fight back. Then don't blame us for being impolite. You won't eat for the next two days."
Huo Qiu was genuinely annoyed. Although he knew that it was impossible for all two hundred people to be good, he still felt that if he treated people with sincerity and kindness, they would remember it.
Unexpectedly, one of these people ambushed Haitang, and according to the investigation, that person's illness was deliberately caused by someone else, and there were enemies among them. Huo Qiu's expression turned sour.
Fortunately, Haitang is a beastman. If she were a female and hadn't transformed into a beast, she wouldn't have been able to fight against this man at all, and might have been killed by him. Thinking about this, she suddenly felt terrible.
Upon hearing this, the people around her turned pale and dared not speak. Haitang also went back, still feeling a bit shaken by what had happened today.
She really didn't think too much about it, and nothing similar had happened when she went there a few days ago, which made her lower her guard. She never expected that she would almost be ambushed by someone.
When Haitang returned home, she looked unwell. When Dongfang Chen saw her, he asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" Hearing this, Haitang looked at Dongfang Chen.
"It's nothing, Mommy's just feeling a little unwell," Haitang said. Hearing this, Dongfang Chen became a little worried and reached out to touch Haitang's head with his small hand. Haitang looked at the child in front of her for a moment.
At that moment, Haitang felt as if she had been healed. Yes, the fear she had felt earlier had made her somewhat scared, but at this moment, as the child touched her forehead, Haitang calmed down completely.
Looking at the child in front of her, she reached out and ruffled the child's hair, saying, "Mom is fine, nothing's wrong..." She was a mother herself, yet she was still so terrified by this little thing.
The fact that Haitang almost left angered the tribe. Huoqiu's investigation revealed that "those were people from the Lion Clan, who said they were sent by the Lion Clan to assassinate you."
"People from the Lion Clan?" Haitang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looking at Huoqiu's anger, she asked, "You believe that?"
"I... don't know, we still need to investigate, but Lion Sky has a reason to take action against you." This statement is not wrong; the death of Begonia on Lion Sky's side would benefit both the Leopard Clan and the Lion Clan.
“I think it’s impossible.” Haitang’s words made Huoqiu pause slightly. “At least it’s impossible for Lion Heaven, and it’s about the same for the Leopard Tribe. How should I put it… the Leopard Tribe and the Lion Tribe have benefited a lot from cooperating with us, so there’s no need for them to ruin their future now. Of course, it might be possible in a few years, but it’s impossible now.”
In a few years, the ambitions of the Lion Clan and others will grow bigger and bigger. It is possible that they will not be able to do so now. When Huo Qiu heard this, he was slightly stunned. "That is possible. Although that race is from the Lion Clan, it is just that... right now, the more it is from one's own tribe, the less trust one can have."
Of course, Huo Qiu was referring to other tribes, such as the Lion Tribe and the Leopard Tribe. They treated these people almost like animals. The hatred in their eyes was destructive, and it was clear that they harbored deep-seated resentment.
With so much hatred, it must be directed at the Lion Clan tribe. Even though he wasn't human, Huo Qiu could still figure out some of their emotions.
If it were me, would I hate the owner who bought me, or would I hate my fellow countrymen? I'd probably hate my fellow countrymen more often than the latter.
