Wu Liu only wanted to catch Fox Jiaojiao, and didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement.
He wanted to get rid of Langmie, this troublesome guy.
He was secretly happy: it seems that the thing I fed Lang Shuo last time has worked, and it is getting easier and easier to control.
Night fell quickly, Wu Liu went down the tunnel alone without the Canglang orcs, and headed for the tribe.
His method of controlling orcs must not be seen by other orcs.
The tunnel was a hundred meters long, and it took the rat beast slaves, who were good at digging holes, to dig out a small tunnel after two days of sleepless digging.
Because the rat beast slaves were small, the tunnel was even smaller.
After Wu Liu went in, he couldn't even turn around. The surroundings were full of the smell of mud, dead earthworms, and various insects.
His brows wrinkled again and again, but he still endured and continued to crawl forward.
After about ten minutes, a little light appeared in front. Wu Liu sped up and stopped below the light.
This is a slope, and the exit is up.
Wu Liu just popped his head out and was about to go out to look for the "orc with a connection" when he heard footsteps coming from outside.
He quickly retracted his head into the ground.
Because the space was too small, his face was rubbing against the mud. Wu Liu felt that he had eaten a lot of mud, and his wrinkled face was uglier than shit.
He held his breath and concentrated. After a while, the footsteps approached, and along with them came the whispers of the orcs.
"I ate so much today. Those wolves are probably still hungry outside, haha..."
"They don't know that our tribe has stored at least one month's worth of supplies, and we will have crops to harvest soon. Let alone a few days, we can stay at home for a month or two."
"Recently, we only need to take care of food and drink, and apply fertilizer to the rice fields. We can also stay at home with the couple and the cubs, and help the females with ramie. It's so comfortable."
Hearing the conversation, about four or five beastmen passed by.
Wu Liu, who was hiding in the tunnel, couldn't help but frown.
Crops? Rice? Ramie?
What are these? Why has he never heard of them?
They have stockpiled supplies for a month. How is this possible? Spring is only halfway through. Didn't they say that many beastmen died in the winter? How could they be able to stockpile supplies so quickly?
Wu Liu was full of doubts, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
It seemed that there were still many things he didn't know about this tribe.
If he could conquer this tribe and bring her here to live in the future, it would be a good choice. She would definitely like this tribe.
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Wu Liu's dark face, which looked a bit creepy in the dim environment.
Wu Liu was groping for an opportunity to go out, when he suddenly heard the beastmen outside whispering.
"I didn't expect this group of Canglang beastmen to specifically ask for Fox Jiaojiao. Fox Jiaojiao is the lucky star of our tribe. How can we hand her over to them? We are not stupid!"
"That's right. I'm afraid they can't imagine that Fox Jiaojiao is not in the tribe at all!"
"I heard that the Canglang tribe has something harder than stone, called iron. Fox Jiaojiao went there for iron ore. They should be almost at the Canglang tribe by now..."
After hearing the conversation, Wu Liu froze, his face uglier than charcoal.
Fox Jiaojiao is not here? She
even went to the Canglang tribe!!
Why didn't he know anything and waited here for two days in vain.
"Iron ore... Could they be talking about the Black Stone Mine?" Wu Liu suddenly realized what the purpose of Hu Jiaojiao's visit was, and his teeth were gnashing in an instant.
"Damn Hu Jiaojiao!"
No one can touch his Black Stone Mine!
Wu Liu was furious, but he made a commotion when he was excited.
"Who? What's that sound!" "Who's
there? Get out!"
The fierce voices of the beastmen came from far away and seemed to be about to find this place soon.
Wu Liu was startled and thought to himself that it was bad.
It was too late to go out and turn back now. If he was caught by them, he would not be able to escape.
Looking at the narrow passage, Wu Liu bit his back teeth, closed his eyes, and moved backwards like a caterpillar.
Soon, the beastman found the cave entrance.
"No beastman found, there is only one cave entrance here."
"When did a cave appear here? Why didn't I know about it?"
"I don't remember there was a cave here..."
Several beastmen were puzzled for a moment, and one of them suggested:
"Let's block it up. What if it was dug by the wolf beastmen outside? We can't let them get in from here."
The beasts nodded.
Soon, several beastmen worked together to move a huge stone over and blocked the cave entrance. It was tight and airtight.
Not even a fly could fly out.
The orcs were still worried, "Let's go tell the chief and check the tribe to prevent any Canglang orcs from sneaking in. We will take turns to guard here."
Several orcs agreed and asked one of them to inform the chief while the others stayed where they were.
When the chief learned of this, he searched the entire tribe.
Fortunately, no suspicious Canglang orcs were found, so they raised the alarm and only ordered people to guard the cave entrance and strengthen defense.
On the other side.
Lang Shuo led Langmie and some orcs to hunt. They were lucky and encountered two small flocks of sheep. They caught more than a dozen fat sheep.
The Canglang orcs were starving.
They waited anxiously for Lang Shuo to distribute food.
Lang Shuo was not stingy either. He ordered his men to kill the big fat sheep and distribute the meat evenly. Although it was not enough for every orc, it was a rare feast for the hungry Canglang orcs.
Lang Mie directly took half a sheep and roasted it happily with Lang Shuo.
No one cared about Wu Liu.
No matter what kind of friendship or ingratitude, it is not as important as having a full stomach.
When Wu Liu came back from the tunnel covered in dust, the beasts had finished eating. There was a bonfire in the camp, and the ground was covered with bone residues that had been gnawed clean. Even the marrow had been sucked out without a trace left.
"Old Wu!" The wolf, who had just eaten and drunk enough, was frightened when he saw Wu Liu suddenly appear like a ghost.
Langmie heard the sound and looked in the direction of Wu Liu.
Wu Liu's hide had been worn to pieces, and his cloak had long since fallen into the tunnel. His thin and skinny body appeared in front of the beasts.
His face was covered with dirt, and he looked like a wolf.
Most importantly, there was no one behind him.
"Didn't you promise to bring back Fox Jiaojiao? Wu Liu, how come you came back empty-handed and got yourself into this mess?"
Langmie laughed loudly, not trying to hide his ridicule.
Wu Liu's face was livid. He was starving after the struggle.
Seeing the mess left by the meal everywhere in the camp, his expression softened a little. He ignored Langmie and walked towards Lang Shuo.
As he walked, he ordered the beastman next to him:
"Did you catch the prey? Bring some food."
