"Lu Li's family is here too."
The chief's eyes widened, "Why are they here? Didn't I ask you to take all the females away?"
The orc said with a look of self-blame:
"I'm sorry, Chief. We didn't notice that Lu Li's parents might have secretly left the team and ran back..."
This is indeed something that weird family can do.
The patriarch rubbed his brows, did not blame him, and asked:
"It's fine as long as we find them. Where are they?"
The orc looked embarrassed and said hesitantly:
"Lu Li's parents were killed by wolf orcs. Lu Li is still alive, but he seems to have some problems. He won't let us get close to him. If we touch him, he will go crazy and scream..."
As a result, they were unable to bring Lu Li out.
The patriarch's face darkened, and after a moment, he sighed.
"They both brought this upon themselves!" He felt a little disappointed. "Knock Lu Li out and take him away."
"Also, take a few orcs with you to deal with the bodies."
After the chief gave his orders, the orcs quickly went in to make arrangements.
Not long after, the bodies of the deer father and mother and the gray wolf orc were carried out.
Hu Jiaojiao also saw how they died. Thinking that the orc who was full of energy not long ago had now become a corpse, leaving behind a crazy cub, she sighed in her heart, but had no sympathy.
All of this is their own choice. If they were not greedy for material things and had evil intentions, these things would not have happened.
Less than two seconds after Hu Jiaojiao looked over, a big hand covered her eyes.
"What are you doing?"
She wanted to pull Long Mo's hand down, but found that she couldn't pull it down at all.
"It's too ugly, don't look at it, you will have nightmares." Long Mo said in a low voice.
Females don't like to see bloody scenes, especially the corpses of orcs. In the past, many females became sick because they were frightened by the corpses.
Fragile females like Jiaojiao need to be protected with extra care.
"What's there to have nightmares about?" Hu Jiaojiao muttered, thinking to herself, the ghost and zombie movies she had watched before were many times more bloody and terrifying than this.
Although she is much weaker than the male, she is not a greenhouse flower.
Since coming here, her mentality has changed a lot. From being afraid of death at first, she can now face danger and death head-on, and naturally she will not be scared by corpses.
Having said this, Hu Jiaojiao stopped struggling.
After all, she didn't have the habit of looking at corpses, so she just didn't want to look at them.
Long Mo took her hand and put it in his pocket.
His pockets had been warmed up in advance and were warm, very warm.
After the bodies in the cave were removed, the orcs carried the stunned deer out.
There was a foul smell coming from his body, and the orcs around him stayed away from him, somewhat disgusted.
The chief was worried that there were other wolf orcs in the tribe, so he divided the remaining orcs into two teams and asked Hu Qingshan to lead one of the teams to patrol the forest. If they encountered wolf orcs, they would strangle them to death and clear out the tribe.
Hu Qingshan and the orcs left quickly.
The remaining orcs continued to go with the chief to pick up the females.
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao's nose turned red by the cold wind, Long Mo felt distressed. "Shall I take you back to the stone house first? I'll go pick up the cubs and come back."
I also asked Hu Qinggao to accompany Jiaojiao and wait in the stone house, so that Jiaojiao would not have to suffer from being exposed to the wind.
"No need, I'll go with you." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head.
The kids must be very worried, so she wants to go and pick them up herself.
Long Mo frowned and said nothing.
He turned and entered the cave, found a large, clean animal skin, covered Fox Jiaojiao completely, then held her up horizontally to ensure that the wind would not blow on her body before leaving the cave.
Hu Jiaojiao suddenly had the feeling of when she was a child and was taken to school by her grandfather on a bicycle. It was raining and she sat on the front bar of the bicycle, her whole body covered by a raincoat.
Did Long Mo think of her as a weak and fragile cub
The winter in the beast world is indeed cold. Even with a scarf on, the little bit of skin exposed on her face felt like it was about to be frozen into ice.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't act pretentiously and was protected obediently.
Through the animal skin, she could clearly hear the whistling of the wind outside. Long Mo was moving very fast, but he didn't know the address of the cave, so he could only follow the tribe leader.
Under the leadership of the patriarch, the animals finally arrived near the cave.
Feeling that the wind had stopped, Hu Jiaojiao lifted the animal skin and saw that Long Mo had landed. She quickly jumped off the dragon scales.
The orcs were all in large form, and the trees in the forest were densely packed, so soon a large area of snow was covered with them.
Long Mo's beast form is worth ten beasts. Just standing there makes other orcs afraid to approach him. They feel inferior and silently stay away from him.
Some orcs were even depressed. How could they have the nerve to call Long Mo a waste in the past
Just this beast form alone is far ahead of them!
The beasts thought about it depressedly and suddenly realized that they didn't even know when or from whom the word "waste" came out.
It’s as if its “source” has disappeared from the face of the earth.
"Patriarch, why don't you leave?"
Hu Jiaojiao came behind the patriarch. Because Long Mo was huge and it was difficult for it to walk in the forest, it changed into a human form when it got close to the cave and walked with Hu Jiaojiao.
"Orcs have been here." The chieftain looked a little ugly, with all the deep and shallow wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
There is a dense forest in front of the cave.
They were in the dense forest at the moment. Because it was hidden and there were no ferocious predators or other orcs living nearby, the chief had never thought that any strange orcs would come here.
Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo followed the tribe leader's gaze and looked into the distance, only to see a bunch of very messy footprints in front of the dense forest, extending forward.
It's the direction of the cave.
There were many overlapping footprints, and they were covered by traces of dragging, so it was impossible to tell what kind of animal they belonged to.
"Did something happen?" Hu Jiaojiao's face changed slightly.
Long Mo's eyes darkened, and he held Hu Jiaojiao down, "I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he strode towards the cave.
Sure enough, he followed the footprints all the way to the entrance of the cave and saw that the entrance had been pushed open and the stones blocking the entrance were scattered all over the ground.
The marks at the cave entrance were heavier, and there was no one inside.
After a while, Hu Jiaojiao saw Long Mo coming back and asked him hurriedly:
"How are the kids? How are the kids..."
Long Mo shook his head, his face solemn, "There are no orcs in the cave..."
Hu Jiaojiao suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning. Her cub, her parents, and her third and fourth brothers were all gone!
"Don't worry, I will find them." Long Mo frowned and walked over to support Hu Jiaojiao, worried that she would fall in the snow if she lost her balance.
Hu Jiaojiao quickly calmed down and grabbed Long Mo's arm with her white hands. "There should be clues left in the cave. Let's go check it out now."
