Chapter 322: Building the Orc Tribe
"Boy, you are the strongest leader of our orc tribe. Why are you so cowardly in front of your partner?"
Long Xiaoyu sighed helplessly and whispered, "Elder Chun, please stop making fun of me. She has a few... um, companions around her."
Elder Chun's eyes widened when he heard this: "What? You have a partner? You're not the only one?"
Long Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and rubbed his brows: "Yes, she is so outstanding that she attracts many people. However, I will definitely let her know that I am the most suitable for her."
Elder Chun stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully:
"Well, that's a difficult question. However, we orcs have always won with strength and loyalty. As long as you show your responsibility and courage, she will definitely like you more."
Another elder interrupted, "Xiao Yu, you are the pride of our orc tribe. Don't let those companions steal the limelight. Do you want us to help you with some advice?"
Long Xiaoyu shook his head and smiled confidently, "No need, elders. I will win her heart in my own way. However, the most important thing now is to deal with the affairs of the orcs and respond to the threat of the monsters."
Elder Chun nodded and patted him on the shoulder. "Well, now you're like a leader of our orc tribe! Go ahead, we support you. Try to bring her back as soon as possible so we can see what your partner really looks like!"
Long Xiaoyu nodded, said goodbye to the elders, turned into a dragon beast and flew away.
When we returned to where Xia Yueke was, it was already completely dark.
He slowly landed and walked into the room where all five of them were gathered.
His gaze lingered on Lang Ce for a moment, and then he said to Xia Yueke:
"Coco, it's settled. The orcs will move to the river valley, but we need to strengthen our defenses to prevent the monsters from returning."
Xia Yueke nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "I will help. No matter what happens, we will face it together."
Long Xiaoyu smiled slightly, reached out and patted her shoulder gently: "With your words, I feel relieved."
Lang Ce's tail froze instantly, and he glared at Long Xiaoyu fiercely, as if he was about to pounce on him in the next second. Xia Yueke quickly grabbed Lang Ce's arm and said helplessly, "Can you two stop being so confrontational?"
Long Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and showed a provocative smile: "Lang Ce, if you are really capable, protect Keke and don't always make her worry."
Lang Ce bared his teeth and growled, "None of your business!"
Long Xiaoyu looked at Lang Ce's grinning face, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile: "Lang Ce, you are still so irritable. No wonder Keke is always worried about you."
Lang Ce's tail suddenly stood up, and he stared at Long Xiaoyu fiercely: "Stop pretending to be a good guy here! Who do you think you are? You are just a flying lizard!"
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but the smile on his face deepened. "A flying lizard? Haha, at least I can take Coco soaring into the sky, while you... can only chase your tail on the ground, right?"
Lang Ce was so excited that his hair stood on end. He growled, "You're looking for death!" After he said that, he took a sudden step forward, his claws exposed, flashing with a cold light.
Seeing this, Xia Yue immediately stood between the two men, placing her hands on their chests. "That's enough! Can you two just be quiet for a moment? The threat of the monsters hasn't been resolved yet, and you're fighting among yourselves?"
Long Xiaoyu looked down at Xia Yueke, the coldness in his eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a touch of tenderness: "Keke, I'm just worried about you. Some people... may not be able to protect you."
Lang Ce snorted coldly and slammed his tail on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. "Stop pretending! You don't need to worry about Keke's safety. I will protect her with my life!"
Xia Yueke sighed helplessly and turned to look at Lang Ce: "Lang Ce, I know you care about me, but Long Xiaoyu is also our partner. Can you please stop arguing as soon as you meet?"
Lang Ce turned his head away, his ears twitching slightly. Although his tone was still tough, it was obviously softened a little: "Humph, for Keke's sake, I won't bother with you."
Long Xiaoyu chuckled and raised his hand to ruffle Xia Yueke's hair. "Okay, I won't argue with him. Keke, I'll go arrange fortifications first and come back to you later."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lang Ce meaningfully, turned around, transformed into a dragon, flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
Lang Ce stared at Long Xiaoyu's departing back, his tail twitching irritably as he muttered in a low voice, "What a pretentious fellow..."
Xia Yueke reached out and pinched Lang Ce's ear, saying helplessly, "You, you clearly care about me, but you always say it stubbornly."
Lang Ce's ears twitched instantly, and his face turned slightly red, but he still refused to give in: "Who cares about him? I just can't stand his self-righteous look!"
Xia Yueke couldn't help but laugh and patted his shoulder gently: "Okay, I know you're doing this for me. However, the most important thing now is that we all deal with the threat of Warcraft together. You can't let personal grudges interfere with the important work."
Lang Ce was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I understand. However, if he dares to get close to you again, I will not be polite."
Xia Yueke shook her head helplessly, but with a hint of doting in her eyes: "You, I really can't do anything about you."
At the same time, in the river valley on the edge of the Misty Forest, the orcs were busy building a new tribe.
The Tiger King Orc stood on a huge rock, directing his people to build houses and fortifications. He swung his tail vigorously and said in a loud voice:
"Quick! Get the lumber over there! We have to finish building the first batch of houses before dark!"
A young orc, carrying a thick log, asked breathlessly:
"Tiger King, do we really want to settle here? It's too close to the Misty Forest. Will it be dangerous?"
The Tiger King Orc narrowed his eyes, looked towards the misty forest in the distance, and said in a deep voice:
"Danger is everywhere, but this is our only choice. The river valley has abundant water and fertile land. As long as we strengthen our defenses, we can gain a foothold here."
Another orc came up, holding a stone axe:
"King Tiger, we are running out of materials for the defensive wall. We need more stones."
The Tiger King nodded and pointed to a small hill not far away:
"Go over there and mine the stones. Be careful. Also, send a few people to the river to fish. We are going to celebrate the establishment of the new tribe tonight!"
The orcs responded in unison and threw themselves into the construction with great enthusiasm.
Soon, simple but sturdy houses rose from the ground and the defensive wall gradually took shape.
When night fell, the orcs sat around the campfire, roasting fresh fish and prey. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
The Tiger King held up a piece of golden roasted meat and said loudly:
"Today marks the beginning of a new life for us orcs! From now on, we will use our own hands to create our own future on this land!"
The orcs cheered in unison, the bonfire reflected on their faces, full of hope and fighting spirit.
