Chapter 319 Unwilling
At this moment, a small fox-like orc stood out from the crowd and said in a clear voice:
"Boss, I think they have a point. The hatred between us and the orcs won't be resolved in a day or two, but if we continue to be exploited by the monsters, we will never have a good life. Why not listen to their advice and see if there is a better way out?"
The fox orc's words were echoed by some young orcs, who had always been skeptical about the monsters but had never dared to speak out.
As the tiger half-orc listened to everyone's persuasion, the balance in his heart gradually began to tilt.
It looked at its hesitant companions, then looked at Lang Ce and the others who looked sincere, and finally sighed:
"Well, since you all say so, then we will suspend our cooperation with the Warcraft for now. However, you'd better keep your word. If you dare to lie to us, we orcs will never let you go!"
Hearing the tiger orc's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A conflict that was about to break out was finally resolved.
However, they were too happy too soon. Just as they were about to disperse and leave, a high-level magical beast stood out.
He looked at the people in front of him with a gloomy look, and used his animal sense to transmit his voice:
"You orcs are simply going too far. We will not let this go. Not only have you teased us, but you are also so arrogant. We will never get away with this!"
Its voice was filled with demonic energy and was so powerful that all the orcs and half-orcs were stunned.
"You...you can speak?"
Xia Yue's voice of disbelief was heard, expressing the thoughts of everyone.
They obviously didn't know that the ninth-level monsters had already reached the point where they could speak.
The Warcraft was indeed powerful this time, otherwise it would not have been possible for the orcs to wipe out so many tribes.
The ninth-level demon beast was completely black, with two horns standing on its head. Red flames were burning around it, and its body was shaking continuously.
Facing everyone's incredulous gazes, it raised its head proudly, "You never thought we monsters could speak, and possess the same intelligence as you? Do you know how painful it is to watch one of your people die? You damned orcs, you're using our crystal cores as the key to improving your abilities! How despicable!"
"Today, none of you can leave! But you are quite clever, having discovered our plan. Otherwise, if it were just a few days later, we monsters would have taken over the tribe!"
After it finished speaking, the group of monsters behind it shouted, "Let the monsters that were hiding in those tribes start to move. Kill all those beasts, leaving no one alive!"
At the command of the ninth-level magic beast, the magic beasts behind it immediately flew up and headed towards the tribes that had been attacked before.
"What? Are you deliberately using us?"
The half-orc tiger king was obviously shocked by this scene.
The answer was obvious. The orcs were so angry that they were speechless. Their original purpose was only to rescue their suffering fellow orcs. They did not want to hurt those orcs at all. Even if they hurt them, they would not kill them!
They regretted deeply that they had easily believed the Warcraft and their alliance. Now, if those Warcraft were hiding in the defeated tribes, the orcs in those tribes would definitely be doomed.
Xia Yueke fell into deep thought after hearing what the monster said before. She didn't know that these monsters had intelligence before. Now she knew that they could think and feel pain just like her, and were sad because of the death of their own kind. So what big mistake did they make before?
Long Xiaoyu looked at Xia Yueke who had been keeping her head down and silent, with a look of disbelief in his eyes. He seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and explained:
"Keke, don't overthink it. Although this magical beast has thoughts and feels pain, this is limited to high-level magical beasts, such as those at level seven, eight, and nine. The higher the level, the more human-like they are and the more they can think. That's why only this group of magical beasts knows about it. Moreover, they hide deep in the misty forest and won't show up easily. Few people can hurt them, so you don't have to worry."
Xia Yuke finally felt relieved after hearing this, but still asked:
"Does that mean those low-level magical beasts are just like unintelligent races?"
Long Xiaoyu nodded, "That's right, and most of us orcs are low-level monsters."
Just as they were talking, a raging fire was burning in the tribe in the distance. The roar of the ninth-level monster shattered the night sky, and scarlet flames poured down like a waterfall.
Xia Yueke formed seals with her hands, and an ice-blue light flowed through her fingertips. An ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the flames out.
"Qian Jingyao!" she shouted.
A silvery figure passed by her. Qian Jingyao transformed into his true form, a snow fox, his tail gleaming white in the moonlight. He leaped lightly onto the ice wall, exhaling an extremely cold air from his mouth, freezing the flames into ice crystals.
"Qian'an, cover!" Long Xiaoyu's voice came from the sky. He revealed his true form, a giant silver-scaled dragon circling in the sky, and the dragon's roar shook the monsters into a commotion.
Qi'an spread his white wings, and countless feathers turned into sharp arrows, shooting accurately at the vital points of the monster.
However, the ninth-level monster simply waved its claws contemptuously and shattered all the feathers.
"Foolish!" it roared. "You think you can stop me?"
Xia Yueke gritted his teeth and formed seals with his hands once again. This time, the icy blue light condensed into countless ice blades, pouring down like a rainstorm.
The orcs coordinated with her attack and began to move, restraining the monster, while the other monsters also rushed towards the crowd in anger.
Long Xiaoyu seized the opportunity, swooped down, and used his dragon claws to grab the head of the ninth-level monster. However, at this critical moment, the ninth-level monster suddenly opened its bloody mouth and a pillar of blazing fire shot straight into the sky.
"Be careful!" Qi'an exclaimed and quickly flew towards Long Xiaoyu, using his wings to block the attack for him.
Long Xiaoyu's pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't expect Qi An to come to help him.
"Luo Cihe!" Xia Yueke condensed ice flowers at her fingertips, clearing a path for him who suddenly appeared.
The young man tapped his toes on the ice flowers, and the green spiritual power transformed into thousands of bamboo leaf knives, accurately piercing the ninth-level monster's blasted third eye.
The monster let out an earth-shattering roar, and black blood like lava flowed from its forehead.
The Tiger King took the opportunity to swing his claws to split the fire curtain, but was blown away by the recoil force.
The surrounding trees were affected, and the ground turned black in an instant, and was even spreading outward.
Xia Yueke looked very anxious, "We can't fight any more, or there will be no grass left here."
Long Xiaoyu looked at this area and fell silent.
