Shu Er pushed the three cubs towards Hu Qinglu without saying a word.
Another team of turtle orcs was arranged to come over to guard, "Keep an eye on them, don't let them fall behind, and don't let them cause any more trouble."
Rat and Rat Er are both sons of the rat clan leader. They have some status in the tribe and can order the most honest turtle clan orcs around.
The number of guards was obviously increased this time, so even if the beasts wanted to help Hu Qingyuan, they couldn't get through.
"Lackey!" Long Zhong glared at Shu Er's back, his eyes almost emitting fire.
Long Yu looked at Shu Er's back with a gloomy face, his eyes were somewhat complicated, "He was helping us just now. If it weren't for him, we might have been beaten to death by that Lizard Sand."
The cubs are the most useless of the captives.
Adult orcs can be used as slaves to do hard labor, but the cubs not only cannot work, but also need to be fed, and they will hold grudges when they grow up. Generally, the tribe will capture the cubs and let them fend for themselves.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Long Yu would be beaten to death.
"Brother, it was he who called these orcs and captured us. Now Ling'er and the others are missing." Long Zhong's face was gloomy, and his fingers, cracked from cold, were clenched white.
"What's the point of pretending to be a nice guy now! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here."
Long Yu lowered his eyes in silence.
He didn't pay attention to Long Zhong's words, his mind was full of the missing Long Linger and the other two.
…
Soon, Liza ordered the team to set off.
Hu Qingyuan stubbornly stayed where he was and continued to look for the tiger crystal, while the other orcs were kept under strict supervision. The group of orcs continued on their journey, dragging their exhausted bodies.
With previous experience, they were much more cautious this time and nothing went wrong.
After walking for a while, Long Zhong suddenly tugged at Long Yu's clothes:
"Brother, I need to poop, you guys go first, I'll follow you in a bit."
Long Xiu and Long Yu walked side by side. His eyes had not fully recovered and his vision became even weaker in the snow, so he needed Long Yu to lead him.
Hearing Long Zhong's words, he turned to look at Long Zhong. His delicate eyes seemed to see through his thoughts, and he said in a clear voice:
"Then tell these orcs to wait for you, in case you get lost and fall behind the team."
"No, I..."
Before Long Zhong could refuse, Long Xiu had already raised his hand and shouted to the turtle beastman beside him:
"My brother needs to poop, can you stop and wait for him?"
The turtle orc on guard looked over and immediately went to ask for instructions from the leading orc in front. After getting the approval, he quickly ran back.
He waved to Long Xiu and urged him, "Go quickly and come back quickly, don't waste time."
Long Xiu turned to look at Long Yao, "Go ahead, we'll wait for you."
Long Zhong: "..."
There's no need to make such a big fuss about taking a shit, or all the orcs will know about it.
"Hurry up, are you still going?" Seeing that he didn't move, the turtle orc urged him with a stern face.
Long Yuye looked at Long Zhong with a deep gaze. Long Zhong looked unhappy and reluctantly agreed, "I'll go right away."
Under the gaze of the orcs, Long Zhong ran to a small hill of snow not far away. The beasts waited for a long time, but did not see Long Zhong come out, and they became a little impatient.
"Why has the third brother been gone for so long?" Long Yu also felt that something was wrong.
As soon as he finished speaking, a turtle orc went over to check, covered his nose and walked behind the snow hill, but did not see a single figure.
"Where are the people?"
The turtle orc was stunned. He put down his hand that was covering his nose, looked down, and found a series of footprints on the ground extending into the distance.
"The pooping cub, no, it's gone! He ran away..." The turtle orc hurried back to report.
When Long Yu and Long Xiu heard this, their faces turned pale, "Why is this Third Brother so impulsive?"
He runs back alone, what if he encounters danger!
Liza was already unhappy with this group of orcs, and when he heard this, he became angry again and ordered the orcs to set off immediately without waiting for Long Zhong.
"Can you wait a little longer? My brother will come back, and you can let me go and find him." Long Yu grabbed the turtle orc who was delivering the message and asked pleadingly.
He had already lost Long Linger, Xiao Wu and Yin Cang, and he couldn't lose the third one as well.
The turtle orc shook off his hand and said mercilessly:
"You were asked to go find him? And then you ran away with him? No, leave now."
Long Yu was carried back to the team. He glanced at Long Xiu who was unable to walk alone in the snow. His eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
…
Long Zhong tiptoed along the blind corner and waited until he was sure that the orcs could no longer see him before he began to run away.
He ran until he was out of breath, then he stopped, holding his knees, and looked back in the direction of the team, gasping for breath.
A long trail of footprints was the only sign on the snow.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, I must find Ling'er and Xiaowu. If I don't find them, it's enough for you to be alive..."
Long Zhong gazed into the distance at the horizon. The cold wind blew his hair up, and half of his scarred face was exposed to the dim sunlight for the first time. There was no trace of warmth, only biting cold.
But he didn't care, didn't cover up, turned around and continued walking step by step in the opposite direction.
In the snow.
Hu Qingyuan called out Hu Jing and the cubs' names over and over again, his hands digging the snow without stopping for a moment. Fearing another avalanche, he could only shout in a low voice.
Even so, after shouting so many times, his voice became hoarse.
There was no movement in the silent snow.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound behind him. A light flashed in Hu Qingyuan's eyes. He thought it was Hu Jing's response to him, so he turned around quickly to look for the source of the sound.
"Hu Jing, is it you..."
But when he turned around, he saw a skinny cub standing behind him.
It was Long Zhong who sneaked out from the team.
Hu Qingyuan's voice suddenly stopped, and the joy in his eyes suddenly turned into shock. He looked at him in surprise:
"Long Zhong? Why are you here? Didn't you go with them?!"
After saying that, he hurriedly stood up from the snow. His legs were frozen from kneeling and digging snow for too long, and he lost his balance and fell.
When he stood up, he hurriedly looked behind Long Zhong and found that only Long Zhong came back. His face suddenly turned dark.
"You! Why did you come back alone? Do you know how dangerous this is? You are really risking your life..."
Hu Qingyuan pointed at Long Zhong angrily.
Long Zhong put his hands in his pockets and looked at Hu Qingyuan nagging expressionlessly. After he finished speaking, he spoke nonchalantly:
"I came back to find my brothers and sisters, oh, and my mother's new cheap cub."
"You little brat, you really think you are so capable. Look at you! If anything happens to you, I will be worried to death..." Hu Qinggao was so angry that he wanted to knock Long Zhong's head open to see what happened.
The question is!
With so many orcs guarding him, he actually managed to escape!
Are those orcs all blind
Long Zhong curled his lips and retorted: "Won't grandma be worried if you stay? Then why do you want to stay?"
Hu Qingyuan was choked for a moment: "..."
Little bastard!
How can this be the same!
