It's impossible for us to argue.
Upon hearing the report from the flying beast, Mao Ning's expression suddenly turned grim, and for the first time, his emotions turned icy.
His tone was somewhat sinister: "You mean we've already entered that tribe's territory? And there's no road ahead; we have to pass through the gate of that small tribe in the mountains?"
The orc being questioned was startled, having never heard such a cold voice before. He solemnly asked again to confirm.
"Yes, leader, this is indeed their tribe's territory. There are deep cliffs on both sides, and the bottom of the cliffs is covered with ice. This is the only way to go."
No wonder the team leader was angry; when he saw it just now, he almost couldn't help but rush up and attack.
They...they were actually eating orcs who had frozen to death!
The Beast God nearly starved to death in the wild one year, and risked everything to bury his frozen companions in a deep pit. Even if he starved to death, he never thought of eating orcs.
How could they dare, how could they possibly bring themselves to do it?!
Mao Ning felt like gagging but forced himself to hold it in. His eyes turned a little red, and he nodded seriously, saying...
"Okay, I understand."
They cannot be allowed to live; orcs who have eaten orcs are a potential threat.
The group includes the snake-wielding witch doctor and the summer witch doctor. They cannot afford any accidents and must try to avoid conflict before being discovered by the other side.
Let's deal with it after things have calmed down...
Thinking of this, he looked ahead with sharp eyes, his brain racing as he considered countermeasures.
The two flying orcs who were reporting exchanged a knowing look of confusion, glanced at Mao Ning through their slightly long hair, then transformed into their beast forms, spread their wings, and flew into the sky to continue their patrol.
Shengxia listened intently for a while.
After listening for only a short while, she was still confused, which left her somewhat bewildered as she didn't fully understand the background. Without hesitation, she patted Yang Yun on the shoulder, her tone firm.
"Little lamb, let's go down and take a look."
A slight smile crept into Yang Yun's eyes, as if she had expected this all along.
"Okay." He agreed after a slight hesitation; he couldn't refuse any of Xiaxia's requests.
As soon as the summer sun set, Wolf King and his companions surrounded them, and then a group of males burst out of the forest.
It appeared suddenly and silently in front of us.
She gasped, gripped the lamb's soft white wool tightly, and held her breath as she looked over.
There were fifty or sixty orcs in total.
They were all emaciated, pale and thin, skin and bones, their heavy animal skin clothes hanging loosely on their bodies, constantly letting in the wind.
Suddenly, her hand felt a heat, and Shengxia trembled in surprise.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Wolf King hid the worry in his eyes well, and smiled gently at Sheng Xia.
Hearing the familiar voice, Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief, instantly relaxing her tense muscles. She snuggled closer to Wolf King and asked in a very soft voice,
What happened?
Judging from their hostile demeanor...
Could it be a robbery?
"It's a small tribe; we've stumbled into their territory by mistake." The wolf king gently wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her from the sheep's back into his embrace.
Her vision was suddenly blocked by a handsome face, and Sheng Xia's eyelashes trembled involuntarily.
The two beasts' auras intertwined, and she could clearly sense the wolf king's breathing and see the fine downy hairs on his smooth face.
"Xiaxia, don't be afraid, we're all here."
A gentle, melodious voice, tinged with tenderness, softly rang in her ears. A pair of deep brown eyes held a hint of gentleness as he tightened his arms around Shengxia.
"Yes, I'm not afraid." Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents as she looked ahead nervously.
That's what they say, but it's impossible not to be afraid.
Refugees have always been the most terrifying, let alone in a world of scarcity and cruelty.
When Mao Ning saw Sheng Xia, his worries grew even stronger. He wasn't afraid of the beastmen, but he was afraid of scaring the precious females.
Females are prone to illness when frightened, and illness during the snowy season can be fatal. She herself is a very skilled witch doctor, but witch doctors don't heal themselves...
It's best to be careful; she can't afford any accidents.
He turned his head and ordered in a deep voice: "Leave two on patrol, the rest of the warriors go and protect the Great Shaman."
"Good!" all the males said in unison.
She Han knew that Sheng Xia was afraid of snakes, so she immediately put away her beast form the moment she came down and looked at Mao Ning with a relieved smile.
Standing next to a leopard, he tugged at its ear and instructed, "Go quickly, protect Xiaxia, don't worry about me."
“But you…” Leopard Spring looked at Sheng Xia and then at Snake Han, hesitating.
On one side is the hope of all the fallen, and on the other is the old witch doctor who watched him grow up. He would be saddened if either of them were hurt.
Why didn't he have three arms?!
A strong wind howled past, carrying a faint, fishy stench. Summer reflexively furrowed her brow and turned her gaze forward.
The emaciated beastmen's greedy, lustful gazes clung to them like chewed gum, impossible to shake off.
Many of those gazes were filled with a malice that disgusted even beasts.
In the sweltering summer heat, she felt a chill run down her spine, shrank into the wolf king's arms to avoid his gaze, and looked up with worry.
"Wolf King, should we speed up?"
Normally, she might take in orcs who couldn't survive and bring them into Yafatu, but their eyes were too disgusting; they didn't look like good beasts.
She didn't want to save those beastmen...
The thought of that sticky, nauseating gaze made her want to vomit.
While everyone remained vigilant, their eyes were fixed on Sheng Xia. Jiao Su blinked when she saw that Sheng Xia looked uncomfortable.
He slowly turned his head, his calm and unwavering eyes gazing ahead, his aura fully unleashed as if a beast god had descended.
The herd of animals fell silent for a moment.
The emaciated beastmen were momentarily wary, but quickly surrounded her again, their eyes fixed on the only female.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Aoki, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly erupted in fury.
He punched the leading male flying, shouting, "What are you, daring to mess with us?"
In the height of summer, she couldn't help but clutch Wolf King's clothes tightly and hold her breath.
Aoki's initiative was like a drop of water falling into a still pan of oil; the orcs who had been observing just moments before suddenly rushed forward as if given a command, their eyes filled with longing.
They rushed towards the height of summer like madmen.
"Food, I smell it, it smells so good..."
"Food! I want to eat!"
The voice was rough and raspy, like a vengeful ghost.
