The chief was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this was Fox Jiaojiao's cub.
He moved his eyes and found that there were five pairs of bright eyes staring at him behind Long Yao, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
strangeness…
The clan leader muttered to himself, they were clearly just a few cubs, why did he feel so creepy and terrified
It must be his illusion.
Fox Jiaojiao is such a smart and kind female, her cubs must be well-behaved and sensible.
Well, it’s an illusion!
When the cubs heard Hu Min's words, they didn't even bother to keep warm and hurried over, fearing that their mother would be locked outside and would not be able to come back.
Although the cubs don’t say sweet words on a daily basis, they care about Hu Jiaojiao’s safety more than anyone else.
"Grandpa clan leader, I can help you with the work as long as you can wait for mother to come back!" Long Yu clenched his fists and negotiated seriously.
"I can work too. I'm very strong and can do anything!" Long Zhong stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves and showed his little arms with few muscles to the patriarch.
This was the first time he tried so hard to please someone.
In the past, I felt inferior because of the scars on my face and never took the initiative to stand in a conspicuous place.
"Grandpa Chief, my mother and second uncle went to lure away the orcs in order to save everyone. If you don't wait for her, we will go out and wait."
Long Xiu's voice was gentle, but very loud in the cave.
As soon as these words were spoken, the females who were sitting by the fire to keep warm turned their heads and looked over.
They all remembered the kindness of Hu Jiaojiao in leading the orcs away, and they all pleaded for Long Xiu:
"Yes, Chief, Hu Jiaojiao didn't come back because she wanted to save us. We have to wait for her!"
"Without her, we might not be able to come back now!"
The patriarch's temple was throbbing.
He hadn't said anything yet, but these little brats had already caused such a big fuss.
If he said "no", he suspected that these bastards could unite and overthrow him as the patriarch.
Seeing that the patriarch did not answer, Long Linger also stepped forward and pulled his other trouser leg.
"Grandpa, please wait for my mother to come back..."
Long Linger clasped her hands together, tears welled up in her lively eyes, and her face was full of pleading.
Looking at the tender faces of the cubs, the chief's heart softened. He had never had cubs of his own in his life. These cubs were good-looking and sensible, and he loved them very much.
"Don't worry, I..."
The clan leader was about to speak when he saw Yin Cang suddenly walk up to him, pursed his lips, with a serious face, and took something out of his pocket seriously.
He was a little confused and looked over carefully.
A few seconds later, Yin Cang took out a few big, white and tender eggs from his pocket, held them in both hands, and handed them to the patriarch.
Patriarch: “???” What does this mean
Seeing that he didn't take it, Yin Cang stubbornly stretched the egg forward.
This is what he usually doesn't want to eat and leaves behind.
Yin Cang remembered that every time Long Yao disobeyed, he would save an egg for him. Over time, he understood the truth.
Food can "bribe" orcs.
Long Yao can make him obedient with just one egg. The tribe leader is a big beast, and he doesn’t know if a few eggs are enough. If not, he doesn’t have any more...
Yin Cang's brows were furrowed like a caterpillar. If he had known earlier, he would have eaten less and saved more eggs.
"Ahem." The clan leader realized Yin Cang's thoughts, his old face turned red, and he pushed the "bribe" back.
"I didn't say I wouldn't wait for Hu Jiaojiao to come back, so don't worry."
He quickly explained, fearing that they would misunderstand him.
It’s hard to be a patriarch these days!
Is he such an unreasonable beast
"Grandpa clan leader, you're not going to seal the cave entrance? Can you really wait for mother to come back?" Long Yao's pair of red eyes suddenly sparkled with bright light.
"Yes, really."
The clan leader had a kind look on his face and rubbed Long Yao's hair.
He turned to look at the other kids and said kindly:
"You are all good cubs. Don't worry. I will bring the males with me to find your mother."
Hearing this, the kids had no objections and nodded quickly.
They knew they couldn't help much and weren't stupid enough to go along and cause trouble.
A hint of gratitude appeared on Long Yu's young face. "Thank you, Grandpa Patriarch."
Hu Min and Hu Qiang came to their senses and looked at the patriarch with gratitude.
Although the animals were afraid, no one opposed the chief's decision. Some females even asked their partners to go with the chief to find Fox Jiaojiao, determined to bring Fox Jiaojiao back safely.
The chief comforted several cubs, and immediately gathered a few orcs, ready to lead a team to look for Fox Jiaojiao.
Leopard Wind followed behind and shouted: "Chief..."
When he saw the female and the cubs come in, he was a fool and understood.
The patriarch had nothing to assign to him.
This is where the females hide, he should go to the front to fight the enemy.
"Baofeng, is there something wrong?" The patriarch turned around and saw Baofeng standing behind him with a complicated expression.
Only then did he remember that he had ignored Leopard Wind.
I even forgot to find an excuse to fool him.
The clan leader was a little embarrassed and was just about to find a reason to keep him when he heard Bao Feng say:
"Chief, please send me to the front to meet the enemy! I want to fight. I don't want to stay here."
He thought the patriarch just asked him to come back to guard the females.
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly started to feel something was wrong.
"Chief, where is Huang Yue? You called me here, where is she?"
Seeing his stubborn look, the patriarch sighed.
"Huang Yue is a traitor! She is an undercover sent by the orcs who attacked us!" The orc next to him couldn't help but speak excitedly.
They hate Huang Yue in their hearts.
But they knew that Baofeng was innocent and had no idea about the incident, so they did not vent their anger on him.
Hearing the orc's words, Leopard Feng was struck by lightning.
"How is this possible! Huang Yue can't be an undercover agent. She is my partner, and she even said she wants to give birth to a litter of cubs with me this winter!"
Bao Feng opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and staggered two steps.
"Impossible, you must be lying to me..."
"Chief, where is Huang Yue now? I want to go find her. She is just a female and it is very dangerous for her to be outside!"
Baofeng suddenly grabbed the chief's arm and looked at him pleadingly, trying to get the answer he wanted from him.
"Bao Feng, what he said is true. I can't let you see Huang Yue. You just stay here."
The chief sighed, knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, and he hardened his heart and pushed Bao Feng's hand away.
He also watched Leopard Wind grow up. He treated every orc in the tribe as his own cub. He didn't want any of the orcs to get into trouble.
Leopard Wind found it hard to accept the affirmative answer from the clan leader.
"No, I won't..."
Long Linger and Yin Cang were lying at the entrance of the cave waiting for Hu Jiaojiao. When they heard their conversation, they suddenly thought of something.
"Uncle Baofeng, she is really an undercover agent."
