"What? What happened to them?!"
The clan leader attached great importance to the matter of salt flowers. When he heard this, his old face wrinkled into a ball, like a pancake that had seeped in water.
Hu Jiaojiao did not hesitate and immediately told the clan leader what she had dreamed of.
"The Beast God appeared in my dream last night and told me that they were robbed of their salt flowers and killed by a group of strange beastmen on their way back..."
“What! What should we do? No, I have to send orcs to rescue them…” The chieftain’s face turned blue with anxiety.
Those eight orcs are all strong orcs in the tribe, and the salt flower is so important that nothing can happen to it.
"Chief, don't worry." Hu Jiaojiao quickly spoke to comfort him and told him a good news.
"The Beast God also told me that they encountered the group of orcs because they took a shortcut. If we send a fast orc to inform them, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing this, the patriarch nodded repeatedly.
"A fast orc. Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The matter was of great importance, so the chief did not dare to delay. He simply waved to the orcs who were watching and called a young male over.
The young male has a strong build and well-developed leg muscles. He is obviously an orc with strong explosive power and fast running speed.
Whether you are hurrying on the road or escaping, it’s no problem.
"Leopard Wind, I want you to deliver a message to Hu Qiang and the others, and escort Yan Hua back to the tribe safely. Can you do it?"
The clan leader looked solemn and dignified as he looked at the young male in front of him.
"Yes!" Bao Feng immediately focused, straightened his back, and answered in a loud voice.
With his chin held high, he looked like a radical young man, full of energy, as if contributing to the tribe was a very sacred and glorious thing.
All the animals looked at him with envy.
They want to help too!
Share the worries of the tribe!
If possible, they would like to grow seven or eight legs and a dozen wings so that they can replace Leopard Wind.
"Okay." The clan leader nodded with satisfaction, "As for what to do, it's all up to Hu Jiaojiao."
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Bao Feng with a heavy face and warned, "Remember, you must stop them from taking a shortcut. Once they take a shortcut, they will run into the group of orcs who are trying to steal the salt flowers. Remember!"
"I remember!" Baofeng nodded vigorously.
"Go quickly." The clan leader patted Bao Feng's shoulder, entrusting him with an important task, his voice low and vicissitudes.
Baofeng immediately turned into a leopard, quickly left the tribe with the "important" news, and ran westward.
No one noticed that not long after Leopard Wind left, a figure quietly left the group of orcs...
"Everyone, please disperse. Winter is approaching. Hurry up and store up food. Don't waste time here." The chief was afraid of causing panic, so he drove the beasts away in a deep voice.
Even if something really happens, storing food is an important matter and cannot be taken lightly.
After hearing the chief's words, all the beasts left.
The tribesmen are fighting hard outside, and they in the tribe cannot slack off!
Not long after, all the beastmen around had left. The chief turned around and found that Hu Jiaojiao was still there.
"Jiaojiao, why didn't you leave? Is there any other important news?" The clan leader was now afraid of Hu Jiaojiao, and asked nervously.
He was afraid that she would reveal some news that would make him explode in the next second.
Fox Jiaojiao shook her head.
"Huh..." The clan leader heaved a sigh of relief, and just as he felt relieved, he heard Hu Jiaojiao continue:
"Everything you just said is false."
Patriarch: “!!”
The patriarch almost rolled his eyes and walked away.
He covered his chest where his heartbeat was accelerating, his breathing was intermittent as if he was angry, and asked in shock, "W-what do you mean?"
There were no other orcs around, so Hu Jiaojiao spoke slowly, word by word:
"Chief, I suspect there is a traitor in our tribe, secretly passing on tribal news to other tribes..."
She thought about it and could only think of this possibility, otherwise those ferocious orcs in her dream would not have been able to find her brother and the others so accurately and repeatedly.
The clan leader looked shocked.
"How is this possible... The orcs in our tribe can't possibly collude with other tribes. Besides, there are no other tribes near our tribe..."
He subconsciously didn't want to believe that any orcs would betray the tribe.
Obviously their tribe has always been very united...
"Chief, the orcs in the tribe may not do that, but they are not the orcs in our tribe." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head and reminded in a low voice.
"You mean... the new female?" The clan leader was stunned. "But she is just a female, how can she have such a great ability to pass on information..."
"We'll know if it's her in a moment."
The reason why Hu Jiaojiao made such a big fuss about this matter was that she wanted the "traitor" to hear it. As long as the other party heard it, he would definitely find ways to spread the news.
Information in the orc world can only be passed on by word of mouth. As long as the other party makes any move, they will be exposed.
She didn't want to speculate on people's minds with malice, but it was always better to be cautious.
…
Not long after, a fast-moving black shadow appeared on the horizon, coming closer and closer.
With a loud bang, a heavy object fell down.
A black dragon then appeared above the two of them, and transformed itself into a human form, with one foot stepping on the heavy object.
The tribe leader looked closely and saw that the one falling down was actually an orc. He was immediately shocked and said, "What, what's going on? Long Mo, what are you doing?"
Long Mo kicked the orc away, first stole a glance at Yanhu Jiaojiao, and then spoke expressionlessly:
"I am guarding the west side of the tribe. He is the only one in the tribe who went west today."
The west of the tribe is almost a wasteland, with many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and basically no prey, so it is impossible for the orcs to go west to hunt.
Upon hearing Long Mo's words, the clan leader's face turned pale and he looked at the orc on the ground in disbelief.
"Hu Zhong, were you the one delivering the message to other tribes!?"
Hu Jiaojiao also looked at the orc, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect it wasn't Huang Yue... It seemed that she had really made a malicious guess...
Hu Zhong was kicked away by Long Mo, rolled on the ground for a few rounds, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow.
He glanced at the clan leader and Hu Jiaojiao, grinned, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth, and a weird smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, hey hey..."
"I didn't expect you to find out..."
Hu Zhong looks honest and simple, but his weird smile immediately made Hu Jiaojiao feel creepy.
That cold and strange smile, like a ghost, not only did he not show any fear of being caught, but... she also saw a hint of teasing in it!
Is this really him
The clan leader covered his chest with his hands, took two steps back in grief, and suddenly remembered something. He pointed at Hu Zhong with a trembling hand.
"The day before the salt melted, you were among the orcs who went to the cave to get salt..."
"Could it be that... you were also responsible for melting the salt in the cave?"
