Hu Qinggao had already prepared for it and pulled Hu Jiaojiao to avoid Xiong Hua's attack.
Xiong Hua fell flat on his face.
The tribe leader at the side had an unhappy expression on his face, and he scolded in a slightly old voice, "That's enough, Xionghua, it is not allowed to harm females in the tribe."
Minor fights are fine, but endangering lives is absolutely not allowed.
"Chief, Hu Jiaojiao burned down my house and ordered Long Yao to bully my mother and me. You have to stand up for me!" Xiong Hua cried to the chief with tears and snot.
But the smell of shit all over his body made it hard to feel any sympathy for him.
Hu Jiaojiao pouted and immediately retorted, "Chief, everyone knows that I am not good to my cubs. How could they listen to me and do such a thing?"
"My cub is so young, what can he know? He is just bullied by Xionghua's family every day and he just wants revenge."
These words were spoken with confidence.
It is normal for orcs to take revenge for every slight. Even the little cubs have a good memory for their enemies.
When the animals heard this, they all nodded.
"Yes, Hu Jiaojiao either beats or scolds the cubs every day, how could they possibly listen to Hu Jiaojiao..."
"I think Xiong Hua has done so many evil things and is getting her retribution. She even wants to throw dirty water on Hu Jiaojiao."
"Neither of them is a good person, what's there to argue about..."
Hu Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and continued in a serious tone, "In my opinion, you have done too many evil things in your daily life, so the Beast God punished you by burning your house. You actually want to slander me. You are really a dog that can't change its nature."
"You! Hu Jiaojiao, don't talk nonsense!" Upon hearing the name of the Beast God, Xiong Hua was so scared that his face turned pale.
Hu Jiaojiao spread her hands, "Then tell me, why can't anyone put out this fire? Isn't it because the Beast God doesn't want the fire to be extinguished?"
The beastmen in the novel all believe in beast gods, just like Buddhists worship Bodhisattvas.
The punishment imposed by the orcs is no ordinary punishment!
The eyes of the animals when they looked at Xionghua changed instantly, as if she was some dirty thing. Even the male who wanted to find her as a mate immediately gave up the idea.
"Impossible! Hu Jiaojiao, stop talking nonsense!" Xiong Hua panicked and looked at the tribe leader. "Tribal leader, she is quibbling. She stole the method of making fire and must be trying to get away with it with this excuse!"
The clan leader turned around and his eyes fell on Hu Jiaojiao.
"Hu Jiaojiao, is what Xiong Hua said true?"
He was getting older and weaker than the younger orcs, so he needed to use fire to consolidate his position, otherwise these orcs would not obey him so much.
Therefore, he could only keep the method of making fire firmly in his own hands, and only make a fire and distribute the fire once every three months.
If a second orc learned how to make fire, his position as the chieftain would be lost.
Thinking of this, the patriarch's expression became solemn.
Hu Jiaojiao had read the novel, so she knew what the clan leader was thinking at the moment. She stepped forward and said, "I have a way to make a fire."
"Little sister..." Hu Qinggao looked at her nervously.
If I really stole the method of making fire, the clan leader would probably not let me go!
Hu Qinggao's heart was lifted up, and he thought to himself: If the clan leader really wants to hurt my little sister, he will protect her safety even at the cost of his own life!
"Second brother, I'm fine, believe me." Hu Jiaojiao raised her eyes, gave a pretty smile back, then turned to look at the patriarch.
"Chief, I do have a way to make fire, but I didn't steal it. I discovered it by accident."
"Chief, don't believe her. If the method of making fire is so easy to discover, why didn't anyone else find it? She is the only one who discovered it!" As soon as Xiong Hua opened her mouth, she was spitting shit.
Hu Jiaojiao looked calm, "Chief, if you don't believe me, you can take a look at the way I make fire and see if it's the same as yours, and then you'll know if I stole it."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the animals looked at Hu Jiaojiao with shining eyes.
Does she actually know how to make a fire
If they knew, they wouldn't have to receive Fire only once every three months!
Hu Jiaojiao added, "But I can only tell the clan leader."
After hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, the clan leader's expression softened a little, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes as he looked at her.
After a long pause, he nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
"I use two stones to make fire. May I ask if you use stones to make fire?"
When the patriarch heard this, his expression immediately changed subtly.
Hu Jiaojiao saw the expression of the tribe leader.
The book says that the chief learned the method of making fire by drilling wood from other tribes and kept it hidden. He only gave out fire once every three months because he was not skilled enough and often could not make a fire.
Later, the tribe was attacked by other tribes, the chief died, there was no fire in the tribe, and no orcs knew how to make fire. The tribe declined and fell apart. Ying Yuan and Lu Mian'er, as the male and female protagonists, also went to the new map.
The orcs in this tribe were either dying or running away.
The original body's mother, Hu Min, missed her daughter so much that she stayed in the tribe and refused to leave. When the orcs from other tribes attacked for the second time, they took pleasure in torturing the orcs and tied Hu Min to the back of a wild beast and dragged her to death.
Now that she's here, she can't let this happen.
"Your method of making fire was not stolen from me." The patriarch frowned and shook his head solemnly.
Although he didn't want to reveal the method of making fire, he would not accuse Hu Jiaojiao for it.
"How is that possible! Chief, you are not trying to protect Hu Jiaojiao as well!"
Xiong Hua's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
"Xiong Hua, are you the clan leader, or is the clan leader the clan leader? You don't even believe the clan leader's words. You don't take the clan leader seriously..."
Hu Jiaojiao deliberately shouted at the top of her voice.
As expected, the clan leader's face turned cold.
As the clan leader, what he hated most was orcs challenging his authority. If an orc disobeyed him, his words in the future would no longer have any authority.
With a dark face, he ordered, "Take Xionghua to the cave and lock her up for two days. No one is allowed to visit her."
Soon, Xionghua was dragged away.
Xiong Qiu was terrified. He didn't expect that his own mother had been captured. He looked at Hu Jiaojiao in fear, then ran out of the group of orcs in shame.
After the farce was over, the orcs were reluctant to leave. They all wanted to know how Fox Jiaojiao made fire with stones.
Hu Jiaojiao naturally knew what everyone was planning and continued to speak.
"I've tried it. Not all stones can make fire. Only these two stones I picked up can make fire."
As soon as he finished speaking, the beasts all showed regretful expressions.
"Chief, I am willing to give you the flint, but I would like you to agree to one request of mine."
This is to make a deal with him.
The clan leader looked at Hu Jiaojiao, he felt that Hu Jiaojiao seemed to have changed a lot, this smiling and docile expression was something that Hu Jiaojiao had never had before.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
