Chapter 255 The calm before the storm
Mu Qingqing had heard of Lang Xun's photographic memory.
However, she really didn't expect that in such a short time, Lang Xun had actually understood the instructions for using the tank.
But remembering that Lang Xun only took one afternoon to learn how to drive, Mu Qingqing nodded.
"Then be careful."
Lang Feng said yes and looked at Tank with a strange light in his eyes.
He likes driving and the feeling of speeding through the forest, which gives him a thrill.
He opened the tilt-driver's window and climbed in carefully.
Everyone stood aside and waited with bated breath. After almost ten minutes, there was still no movement from the tank.
Several orcs sighed.
In their eyes, Lang Feng is still a kid. How could he learn to drive a tank so quickly? After all, this is not an ordinary car. How could it be so easy?
Just when everyone looked relaxed, the gears of the large tank in front of them slowly started to move.
However, the gear stopped after only two turns.
You can see that I'm still unfamiliar with it.
This time it stopped for less than a minute and then the gears started moving again.
The tank's gears rolled across flat ground, crushing gravel, and could even climb steep slopes.
Lang Yi's eyes sparkled with excitement. To be honest, he felt a little itchy.
After coming out of the tank, Lang Feng was extremely excited.
Mu Qingqing curled her lips and chuckled. Although she looked like an orc, she was actually still a little kid at heart.
The appearance of the tank completely inspired the several orcs present.
They became more confident in their revenge on Shimai, and their enthusiasm for learning grew day by day. They even pestered Lang Xun late at night to ask about the internal structure of the tank.
Mu Qingqing yawned and left the team.
The next day, news came from the Poseidon Tribe saying that they were all ready.
Mu Qingqing was surprised at their speed, but then she thought, since Shi Mai had killed so many of the Sea God's sons, his desire for revenge might be even stronger than theirs.
Although Mu Qingqing was also prepared, she knew that things would be resolved if she took it slow, and it was not the time for revenge yet. However, she could not say exactly when she would take revenge.
They still eat, drink and work on construction, just like the calm before the storm.
After several days of clear skies, the sky began to change.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, making it hard to breathe. On the calm sea, layer upon layer of waves were surging like ghosts wandering in the sea, grim and murderous.
A loud rumble of thunder resounded through the sky and throughout the valley, with echoes lingering.
Mu Qingqing suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, so she asked her clansmen to pack up and stay at home.
Her premonitions were always accurate.
All the Fuxi people stayed quietly at home. They observed the grove intently, with weapons at hand ready to be picked up at any time.
But at noon it was already as dark as day and night.
Mu Qingqing stood on the second floor with a telescope and looked out. She saw figures peeking out from the woods and the leaves shaking constantly.
Everything is under her control.
until……
She saw several tribesmen who were supposed to hide in the valley to attract lightning appear in Mu Qingqing's sight as if they had lost their souls.
She was stunned and immediately put down the telescope.
Then hurried downstairs.
She went out the door, and Mo Xiao followed closely beside her.
She came up to the two tribesmen and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
The tribesmen had dull expressions on their faces, and one of them muttered.
"Master Beast, there are so many of them, so many people..."
Another member of the tribe collapsed and fell to his knees.
"Beast Master, the stone veins have discovered us. They know everything. They know where we buried the mines. They also know..."
Mu Qingqing raised her eyes calmly and looked towards the forest behind the orcs. She could vaguely see orcs starting to walk towards this side.
"So? Why didn't you blow the horn when you noticed something was wrong?"
This is what Mu Qingqing is concerned about.
"We have no chance of winning."
"Is this the conclusion you have come to?"
Without waiting for the orc to respond, Mu Qingqing continued, "You have lived in Fuxi for so long and have only been captured once. After seeing how powerful the enemy is, are you planning to surrender?"
Mu Qingqing couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or something else.
She lowered her voice, and there was endless coldness in her half-closed eyes.
"Since you feel there is no hope, why not commit suicide now?"
After saying that, she took a step back, and then, arrows with scorching flames suddenly stretched out from the windows of every household.
The two orcs finally came to their senses and hurriedly explained.
"No, no, we are not this..."
With a "puff", the chests of two orcs were pierced from behind by sharp blades.
And what killed them were the stone vein people behind them.
"Long time no see, Mu Qingqing."
The Stone Vein Chief looked at the female in front of him with cloudy eyes and spoke hoarsely. He had a hunched back and looked like an ordinary old man.
"I've heard your name everywhere in the City of Beasts, but this is the first time I've seen you."
There was a smile on Mu Qingqing's bright face, but the temperature in her eyes was icy cold - terrifying.
"Same here, same here. I've always heard about your deeds, too."
"I didn't see you in Fuxi last time, and I thought you had escaped." There was a hint of carelessness in the words of the Shimai tribe leader.
"Is it too late to leave this time?"
"Not really. I'm waiting for you."
As the two talked, Stone Vein People appeared from all over the forest.
Boats were floating in the jungle, on the trees, in the streams, in the valleys, and even on the sea.
The mountains and plains were all filled with Stone Vein People. They held suitable weapons in their hands and wrapped the little Fuxi in them, making a huge scene.
Even from a distance, it is shocking.
There was another rumble of thunder. Mu Qingqing raised her head and spoke slowly.
"You came when the first thunder sounded, didn't you?"
The Stone Vein Clan leader smiled and readily admitted it.
He looked at Mu Qingqing's calm face, then looked at the buildings and tools around him that did not belong to this era at all. A hint of plunder and madness flashed in his eyes.
"If you admit defeat, we won't have to go to the end. You can still live here and still be free."
Mu Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Hearing the seriousness in the words of the Stone Vein Clan leader, she slowly smiled.
"Have you forgotten your son's death so quickly?"
These words came like thunder out of nowhere.
The explosion caused the surrounding stone vein people to riot.
"what are you saying!"
"Chief, let's not waste time talking to her, let's just do it!"
"That's right, Chief!"
It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.
The chief of the Shimai tribe looked at Mu Qingqing coldly, waved his hand, and several orcs came over dragging something made of animal skins.
For some reason, Mu Qingqing's heart beat rapidly.
This is not a good sign.
