"I don't know, but let's not act rashly. Don't forget what Dongfang Long told us at the beginning. If we approach rashly, we might expose Dongfang Long and put him in danger. Then we'll be the ones to sin. Let's just wait here." Pengshan and the others could only nod when they saw the orcs not far away.
In order not to cause trouble for Dongfang Long, Pengshan and the others could only wait there. However, they would also relay what was happening on Dongfang Long's side back to him. Thinking of this, Pengshan couldn't help but sigh.
He was also a little worried when Haitang asked about Dongfang Long. He didn't know how to answer. He could only tell Haitang that Dongfang Long was safe and sound. However, he felt that Haitang was not easy to fool, but he did not press her for information.
"I hope we can get news soon. He's been inside for quite a while now. In the past, at least some news would have come out, but now there's no news at all." It's really worrying, Pengshan murmured to himself, and the people around him nodded in agreement.
The fact that Dongfang Long hadn't shown up at all was very worrying. Pengshan was worried, and Haitang was worried too. Although Haitang was dealing with the matter of the black flower, she couldn't help but ask Huoqiu about Dongfang Long after receiving messages from Pengshan and the others.
However, every time Huo Qiu gave her the message that Dongfang Long was safe and sound, working as an undercover agent, Haitang couldn't help but complain. Having watched so many TV dramas in modern times, she knew that undercover agents had never been good people.
However, even though he understood, there was nothing he could do to change anything. He couldn't just rush over there; he could only send Huo Qiu to deliver the message so that Dongfang Long could rest assured that there wouldn't be too many problems.
As Haitang sat alone in her room, looking at the documents in her hand, she quickly felt relieved. "Mom..."
Dongfang Chen walked in. The child was growing up day by day, and not only that... each time he grew up, he gave people a different feeling and became more and more mature.
Seeing Dongfang Chen like this, Haitang reached out and ruffled his hair. Dongfang Chen immediately bent down in response, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much, I just saw Mom was busy all by herself, so I came to check..." Dongfang Chen said. He was very dependent on his mother, a dependence that hadn't diminished with age, though he could sometimes appear quite mature.
"Mom... are you thinking about Dad again?" Dongfang Chen couldn't help but ask after seeing Haitang's expression. Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded and looked outside with some concern.
"Yes, I'm a little worried. You know what kind of person your father is, he's reckless and disobedient," Haitang said. Not only is he reckless, but he's also very disobedient, which inevitably makes her very worried.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen glanced at Haitang sitting beside him, quietly watching her look at the documents. Dongfang Chen's appearance resembled his father's, though he also resembled Haitang in some ways, with a gentler look.
Especially his eyes, which are exactly the same as Haitang's. Sometimes when Haitang looks at Dongfang Chen, she feels a sense of disorientation... thinking of Dongfang Long. "By the way, have you noticed any strange people these days?"
"I haven't noticed anything." Dongfang Chen shook his head when he heard this, while Haitang nodded. In fact, the reason why Haitang and the others asked the children to pay attention to strange people was largely because the adults hadn't noticed these things, but sometimes the children would notice them.
After thinking about how other tribes had been drugged, Haitang couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that the Turtle Tribe might also be drugged, even though her tribe had the antidote.
With so many orcs in the problematic tribe, there simply weren't enough antidotes to suppress them, so they had to focus on other things to be on guarding against them.
The people that Shi Tian and the others took to gather herbs have not yet returned, which makes Haitang very worried. Haitang feels that things may become more and more difficult. The Turtle Tribe has been preparing for a hundred years, and she doesn't know what other tricks they have up their sleeves.
As Haitang thought about it, her expression showed some worry. When she looked at Dongfang Chen, she said, "Xiao Chen, you need to take good care of your younger brother and sister from now on, and make sure nothing happens to them."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen nodded and said, "Mom, I will, don't worry." Knowing Haitang's worries, Dongfang Chen nodded and left to train.
When Shi Tian and his group went to collect herbs, they encountered a lot of trouble. These herbs were not easy to find, and they also had to avoid ferocious beasts while searching for them, which was quite a challenge. Especially under these circumstances, every second counted, which inevitably led to some trouble.
Moreover, Lion Sky and his companions made an unexpected discovery: they stumbled upon the Turtle Clan along the way and immediately began a fierce battle with them.
It can be said that the orcs harbored extremely strong hatred for the turtle tribe. Knowing that the turtle tribe was researching a drug that would turn the orcs into beastmen and prevent them from becoming human again, they became even more ruthless.
At this moment, in this stronghold, the beast slaves were mostly beastmen, and with only humans present, they were no match for Lion Sky and his group. Of course, those people did want to use poison.
However, those who had been informed by Haitang at the beginning quickly realized what was happening and did not fall victim to the attack. So, although some people were injured, they did not suffer any major damage, which was fortunate amidst the misfortune.
