mtl008 Chapter 218: Hidden Orcs
Chapter 218: Hidden Orcs
That day, the tribesmen all saw clearly the fate of the betrayers.
They stood by indifferently and watched how they moved towards death step by step. They were thrown out of the tribe and eaten by birds, without even anyone to collect their bodies.
And within a few months, no one even remembers them, they are like a wandering ghost.
At this time, all the tribesmen secretly warned themselves to never betray the tribe, otherwise there would be no one to collect the bodies, and no one would remember or commemorate a traitor.
Then they suddenly realized that what they feared more than death was being forgotten.
How terrible it is to be forgotten, as if you have never been in this world and there is no trace of your existence.
Mo Xiao's injury took twenty days to heal. No matter how he healed, there was always a black mark of poison on his chest. A Ling came several times, but no one knew the reason.
She knows medicine, but doesn't know much about poisons.
Then Mu Qingqing asked: "Do you want to go to Wanshou City to look for Hu Ze? I don't know when Lang Yi will come back. He got on the giant eagle and left without saying a word, and didn't even say hello to me."
Mu Qingqing had gone to take care of Mo Xiao, and only later realized that Lang Yi and the little monkey were missing.
I'm afraid he has gone to Wanshou City a long time ago.
Mo Xiao didn't mind exposing his chest.
After daybreak, the tribesmen rested well for two days, and then began to deal with the burial of the deceased and the erection of a tombstone. From then on, the tribesmen had no rest.
No matter old or young, orc or female, they are all busy shuttling around the tribe all day long.
Sometimes Mu Qingqing asked Mo Lin to deliver some supplies, but he couldn't find them.
The first thing the tribesmen repaired was the electric grid on the outer wall of the tribe. Before the orcs started repairing it, it was the females who were cleaning the environment.
After experiencing this encounter with the dark beast, the wandering orcs who were able to survive outside the tribe had some skills, otherwise it would be impossible for them to survive in such a harsh environment.
They came from afar and set their sights on this tribe shortly after daybreak. They were also smart and did not rush in rashly, but lurked in the ruins of the house that Leopard Sel and his men had built not far away.
In less than a day or two, they waited for the female orc to come out, so they followed quietly.
The reason why Shiyou and his companions were able to come back was because of Shiyou's skills. He risked his life to bite and fight, and saved the two females who were being insulted from humiliation.
Sadly, everyone died.
How could the wandering orcs, who had already tasted the sweetness, be willing to do this? So this time they targeted several females who were cleaning the environment.
They were all excited, their eyes were red, and their bodies were trembling, like a captive wild beast, or a hungry beast staring at its prey.
So they couldn't hold back any longer and started to act.
However, before they reached them, a few gunshots stopped them in their tracks.
They all had their eyes wide open, with lewd expressions on their faces that they had not had time to retract.
Some people fell to the ground with their bodies stiffened, while others looked down at their chests where blood was spurting out.
Some people fell to the ground, spitting out blood.
The females stood on the other side of the river, watching them die in silence with indifference and sarcasm, then retracted their guns, turned around and continued with their work, as if nothing had happened.
However, the females did not notice that there was also an orc lurking in another direction.
If Leopard Sel were here, he would definitely recognize that this orc escaped from the tribe with him, but disappeared along the way.
The further the orcs followed Leopard Sel, the longer they walked and the more uncertain they became.
He regretted and wanted to go back, but was afraid of death. However, if he followed Leopard Sel, his future would be uncertain. So when everyone came to their senses, he was shocked to realize that he had been following Leopard Sel the whole time!
He looked at the few pills he had stolen and made up his mind to return to the Shimai Tribe first.
However, just as he turned to leave, night fell.
He was unconscious for many days before he woke up by chance. As soon as he woke up, he saw several powerful orcs being killed by females with guns. He rubbed his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong.
The tribe where Leopard Sel stayed actually had guns, and so many of them!
He had seen something like this once from the chief of the Stone Vein Clan. The chief regarded that thing as a gift from the Beast God and it was a sacred object!
The Fuxi tribe has so many guns, does that mean they have even more powerful things?
If he ran back quickly and told the clan leader, the clan leader would definitely send someone over. Then could he exchange some pills for his life?
When the orc thought of this possibility, his breathing became rapid and he stared at the edge of the wall which was now empty.
Then he suddenly turned around, transformed into a beast and ran towards the Stone Vein Tribe.
Mu Qingqing heard gunshots outside upstairs, so she went downstairs to ask what happened.
After learning what had happened, she nodded calmly and asked the tribesmen to record the amount of bullets used in the guns.
She is extremely strict in this regard.
Bullets can only hit outsiders and must never hurt our own people.
After Mu Qingqing finished talking about Lang Yi in the morning, Lang Yi airdropped to the center of the tribe in the afternoon.
As soon as he entered the door, he sighed, then sat down on the sofa, picked up the fruit on the table and handed it to the little monkey in his arms, then he took one and took a bite, as if he had returned home.
Mu Qingqing glanced at him sideways.
"How do you find time to come to our house?"
Choked by Mu Qingqing's words, Lang Yi sat up straight and put down the fruit in his hand.
Seeing his honest look, Mo Xiao sneered while lying on Mu Qingqing.
"Alas, I was actually a little anxious at the time, so I forgot to tell you..."
Mu Qingqing didn’t really blame Lang Yi. She waved her hand and asked, “What’s the situation in Wanshou City?”
When talking about this, Lang Yi's face became much darker.
"The city gate is still good, but it was attacked by wild beasts. The orc nobles used beast energy to hire all the beast warriors and guards in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, so the most casualties were..."
Lang Yi didn’t say the rest, but Mu Qingqing already understood.
It seems that no matter where you are, money can solve many problems.
"Hu Ze almost died, but was saved by a beast warrior. He only injured half of his arm and is already receiving treatment."
Mu Qingqing hummed, "I also plan to take Mo Xiao to see Hu Ze to check on his health."
Lang Yi looked at Mo Xiao, who could eat and drink, with confusion.
"What's up with him?"
Mu Qingqing subconsciously lifted up Mo Xiao's clothes, but was glared at by Mo Xiao and then covered them again.
Those enchanting pupils were full of dissatisfaction.
"Why did you lift up my clothes to show others?"
Mu Qingqing: "..."
Lang Yi's face was full of black lines.
"I'm not an outsider..."
Chapter 219
In the end, Lang Yi still didn't see Mo Xiao's chest, but only heard Mu Qingqing say that there were black toxin residues on Mo Xiao's chest.
He picked up the apple with a few bites taken from it, looking extremely disdainful.
"What's there to be afraid of if he has poison? He himself is a poison. Who else can poison him?"
As he was speaking, Mo Xiao started to cough slightly, looking like an icy beauty. Lang Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The topic shifted back to the main topic, and Lang Yi recalled the scene he saw when he was sitting on the giant vulture.
"Migration?" Mu Qingqing picked up a plump orange and peeled it carefully.
The white fingers pinching the orange look very beautiful.
After the tribe was trampled into ruins, the tribesmen did not think about rebuilding their own places to live first, but instead built two greenhouses to grow fruit.
They have deeply experienced what delicious food is. If they haven't eaten it for a day, they will miss it every day.
Therefore, this first batch of ripe fruits was immediately sent to Mu Qingqing.
She peeled the orange and put the first piece into Mo Xiao's mouth.
I wondered, “Winter is over now, where else can we migrate to?”
Lang Yi crossed his legs and shook his head, "And judging from their clothes, they look like they came from the east."
Mu Qingqing smiled and joked, "Can you understand clothes?"
Lang Yi snorted softly, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"So where do you think my clothes come from?"
Mu Qingqing raised her chin and asked with a smile. She looked very fashionable today, wearing a long down jacket.
Lang Yi didn't respond. It would do him no good to speak out.
"I don't know where you come from, but I know..."
Under Mu Qingqing's nervous gaze, he said the following words.
"...You've definitely gained weight. Even such loose clothes can't hide your body shape. Look at your face..."
Mu Qingqing's face turned pale.
Lang Yi smiled happily.
It’s still interesting to talk to Mu Qingqing.
Under Mo Xiao's cold gaze, Lang Yi said awkwardly and immediately changed the subject.
Looking at the crystal clear grapes on the table, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand, but was violently flicked away by Mo Xiao with an orange peel!
The little monkey looked at the flying orange peel in confusion, then looked at the slightly red back of his father's hand.
A trace of struggle flashed in his only eye. Despite his fear of Mo Xiao, he reached out his hand tremblingly, grabbed a bunch of grapes, and then put them in Lang Yi's hand with sparkling eyes.
"Eat, Father."
Ever since Lang Yi adopted the little monkey, Mu Qingqing has never heard him speak.
This stuttering baby voice makes people feel soft-hearted.
Lang Yi was slightly stunned. Adopting the little monkey was just a pastime for him. He did not have the consciousness of being a father. But at this moment, something in his heart began to loosen.
He ate a grape with a smile, then continued talking to Mu Qingqing.
"Didn't you take in those orcs before? They also came from the east."
A certain thought flashed through Mu Qingqing's mind.
"You think Leopard Sel and the others might know each other?"
Lang Yi nodded. That was what he meant.
"I guess they are from the Stone Vein Tribe."
Mu Qingqing didn't quite believe it.
According to what she learned from Leopard Sel.
The Stone Vein Tribe has a typical authoritarian system. In order to control the main orcs in the tribe, the Stone Vein Chief even uses pills to restrain them. Although such a tribal system is deformed, it is powerful.
Such a large tribe would undoubtedly even become a hegemon in the East, so there was no reason for them to migrate here.
What's more, the situation on their side is not optimistic.
As Fu Xin predicted, winter is coming and the wild beasts will return to their lairs.
It was only in the past few days that Mu Qingqing understood the meaning of this sentence.
That day, the shaking of leaves on the mountains, in the forests, and among the trees was earth-shaking.
No one knew where the wild animals had gone, and there was no movement in the forest.
The tribesmen were puzzled and went out to check. They patrolled for a whole day and spoke to Mu Qingqing with a serious expression in the evening.
"We didn't see any wild animals. We even went to the deepest part of the forest, but the wild animal's lair was empty."
The tribesmen were no longer as ignorant as they were before, and they quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.
No beasts, no meat.
It may sound a bit cruel to say this, but this is the food chain in the Orc Continent.
Orc, carnivore, female, meat eater.
Fruits and vegetables alone, even the rice and frozen meat provided by Mu Qingqing, cannot solve the orcs' food problem.
They want to eat fresh food and feel the hot blood of wild beasts splashing on their faces. They have to resist the attacks of wild beasts all their lives and become the strongest warriors step by step.
So, to them, wild beasts are more than just food.
Without wild beasts, even if the orcs can enjoy a threat-free life for a short period of time, over time, their innate bloodiness and bellicosity will be aroused.
But what should they fight against at this time?
Without a doubt, one of our own.
Therefore, the wild beasts returned to their lairs and killed each other. In the end, the orcs gradually degenerated and even developed to the point of cannibalism.
That was the time when the strong preyed on the weak, and cannibalism was a big taboo. There was no rationality at that time, so the females and cubs were the first to suffer.
The only ones left are orcs, so reproduction is impossible.
Mu Qingqing shuddered. No wonder Fu Xin kept saying when she died, "Everyone will die, everyone will die!"
According to this calculation, everyone will indeed die.
Mu Qingqing's words made Lang Yi unable to eat grapes anymore.
He is very smart, but he usually worries too much about Wanshou City, so he doesn't use his brain when possible.
Now, after using his brain and thinking carefully, he knew that Mu Qingqing's calculations were correct.
All the members of the Fuxi tribe have learned knowledge. They will definitely not engage in cannibalism in the short term. However, over time, they can also use knowledge to suppress themselves.
It’s just that there are mostly wandering orcs outside, and their temperaments are closer to those of wild beasts. They will probably be the first to do such a thing.
In fact, regardless of the context, without beasts and meat, the consequences of this matter are very serious.
Lang Yi remembered something, "I remember you raised some baa milk beasts or something? How many do you still have now?"
When talking about this, Mu Qingqing's face darkened.
"No, all dead."
Lang Yi was surprised and asked, "They are all dead? How is that possible?"
When he first arrived at the Fuxi tribe, Lang Yi also visited the place where bae beasts and other wild animals were raised in captivity.
Lang Yi, who watched it at that time, was amazed by it.
He said that these livestock and poultry lived better than when he was a child.
There is no rain or wind leakage on the top, and there is a clean and fresh haystack below.
There is food and drink, and someone cleans up the poop. The pregnant bleating beast has a special place to live. People are afraid that it will catch a cold, so they give it firewood and feed it food.
Lang Yi was extremely envious of this wonderful life.
