Qin Ya's eyes flashed with pain as he said, "Xiao Ruo... The leader had no choice but to take us to help... He tried to persuade them and stop them from going deeper. This delay caused the beasts that had been lured away to gather together..."
“…” Everyone’s hearts seemed to have experienced a cold winter and became cold.
Qin Ya choked up and said, "In order for us to return successfully, the leader held off the beast alone, buying us time to escape."
"!" Everyone was shocked. Xiao Ruo was not even an adult yet he had such courage.
Deng Ming and the other two had tears in their eyes: "Xiao Ruo..."
Their orcs are not yet adults...
"Where is that bastard A Zhang?" Deng Ming asked with hatred.
When Qi Ge'er heard this, his body trembled, and he looked at Qin Ya with red eyes with a glimmer of hope.
Qin Ya gnashed his teeth and said, "He... he insisted on doing what he wanted and was dragged into the depths of the jungle by the beast."
"..." Qi Ge'er seemed to have lost his support, and his body swayed unsteadily. His eyes, which were full of hope just now, became dim and dull, like a stone that had been buried underground for many years...
Mu Ge'er and Wang Jin hurried forward to support him and looked after him carefully.
"He brought it upon himself! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been injured so badly, and Xiao Ruo... the leader wouldn't have..." Qin Ya's nose was sour.
Xiao Ruo's father, Yong Ge'er, choked up and said, "Even if he is dragged into the jungle, he can't bring back my Xiao Ruo... He really deserves to die! My Xiao Ruo..."
Qi Ge'er was heartbroken when he heard this. With the help of Wang Jin and Mu Ge'er, he walked to Yong Ge'er. Suddenly, he bent his knees and knelt in front of the three men.
Wang Jin and Mu Ge'er were both startled and wanted to help him, but he refused.
"Brother Yong...boy Deng, Da Nuo...my son is sorry for you."
As he spoke, Qi Ge'er could no longer hold back and burst into tears. He looked at everyone with red eyes. Everyone had a sad expression on their face, including the pharmacist. The old pharmacist's face was full of sorrow. His wrinkled lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word because of the sadness.
Qi Ge'er turned around while kneeling and said to the orcs who had returned: "My son is also sorry to the Danmu tribe..."
After saying this, he bowed solemnly to everyone.
Wang Jin couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stepped forward to help him up and said, "This is none of Uncle Qi's business. Uncle Qi, get up quickly."
"Brother Jin, I know you and Heng are kindhearted, but... my son made a big mistake, and I, as his father, have the responsibility. It's a pity that it's too late now. If I had disciplined him and advised him well, maybe this wouldn't have happened..."
Qi Ge'er cried sadly, his face full of guilt. Everyone knew that he was not only suffering because he lost his son, but also because he felt guilty because his son had brought trouble to the tribe and an excellent leader...
He was originally a middle-aged man, not yet old enough to look old, but at this moment he seemed to have aged ten years, even his hair was slightly reflecting white light in the sun...
“…” Wang Jin didn’t know how to persuade him for a moment, so he could only stay by his side.
Seeing this, Mu Ge'er squatted down and advised: "Uncle Qi, don't be like this. Leader Xiao Ruo may not be in trouble. Didn't A Jin come back safely after falling into the beast tide? Xiao Ruo was taught by Brother Heng, and he is the leader of the Danmu tribe. He will definitely be able to turn danger into safety, right?"
