The next morning.
As the sky brightened, the beasts woke up, packed their luggage, woke up other orcs in the team, and prepared to continue on their journey.
Just before setting off, the giant lizard orcs discovered that their boss Lizard Sand was missing.
"Has anyone seen Boss Lizard?" The giant lizard orc asked around anxiously.
"I didn't see Boss Lizard when I woke up today."
"I didn't see it either..."
The animals all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Liza was the leader of the team. The team could not move forward without him, so the beasts had to look for him everywhere.
The females were just about to set off when they suddenly saw the orcs in front of them stop again and didn't move forward, which made them a little confused.
"What's going on? Are we going to leave or not?" Hou Xiang asked with a frown while holding two sleepy little monkeys in his arms.
A female nearby glanced over there and said in a low voice:
"I just heard them say that the orc named Lisha is missing. He is the one who bullied Lu Mian'er yesterday..."
Hearing this, the females all showed expressions of gloating.
Hu Min snorted coldly, and said with hatred for evil:
"He deserves to be gone. It's better for him to die. He is worse than an animal. He attacked females and cubs. Maybe the Beast God wants to take his life back."
Thinking about how Long Yu was kicked by Lisha yesterday, she still feels heartbroken.
The cub is so tiny, thin and pitiful. What if it gets hurt
After hearing what Hu Min said, the females nodded in agreement, looking as if they wished that Lizard Sha would never come back.
Long Xiu and Long Yu were standing behind Hu Min. When they heard the conversation, a meaningful light flashed in their eyes.
Long Yu fiddled with the little monkey's tail on his shoulder with his fingers. Xiao Wu used to like playing with the little monkey named Hou Xiang the most. I wonder how he is doing now.
But fortunately Xiaowu was not there, otherwise he would have been scared.
As the two looked at each other, there was a commotion in front of the team.
"Oh no! Boss Lizard... he's dead!" A rat orc ran back from a distance in panic, his face pale, as if he was frightened.
"What's going on?"
"How could Boss Liza die? What nonsense are you talking about!"
The giant lizard orc reacted the most violently, rushing forward to grab him by the collar and yelling.
The rat orc trembled, pointed his finger in the direction he just came from, and replied with chattering teeth:
"Really, really, I just saw the body of Boss Lizard over there, and... his internal organs were eaten away by wild beasts, and there were pieces of meat and bones on the ground..."
As soon as the giant lizard orc let go, his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.
Upon hearing this, the animals hurried over to check.
At first glance, the description given by the rat orcs was still relatively vague. Lizard Sha's limbs had been dragged to several places, his stomach and internal organs had been hollowed out, and his face had been bitten off, leaving a bright red patch on the snow.
When the animals thought about the lizard that was full of life yesterday, but was eaten into this state by wild beasts today, especially in the wilderness, they were suddenly horrified and filled with fear.
"how so… "
"Boss Liza is so powerful, how could he be bitten to death by a wild beast? This is impossible!"
"That's right. Even if there are wild beasts, they won't be a match for Boss Lizard. Could it be that someone is plotting against Boss Lizard and deliberately trying to kill him?"
The animals looked at each other, none of them believed that Lizard Sha was killed by a wild beast.
Just at this moment.
Long Xiu stood behind the females and suddenly said:
"I saw an elf at midnight yesterday. Boss Lizard went to defecate, and the elf followed Boss Lizard..."
In the eyes of orcs, elves are like wandering ghosts and are symbols of evil and death.
As soon as these words were spoken, the beasts' faces turned pale instantly.
"Did you really see an elf?" The giant lizard orc was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.
This desolate place is exactly where elves like to hang out. Before Long Xiu even answered, they already believed it about 50% of the time.
When they thought about Lizard Sha's strength, they couldn't think of anyone else who could kill him except the elves.
"Really." Long Xiu nodded without thinking, half of his body hiding behind Hu Min. He seemed to be frightened by the scene he "saw" yesterday, and his thin face turned pale.
"Then why didn't you tell us earlier!" The giant lizard orc looked angry.
"I... I dare not..." Long Xiu shrank behind Hu Min. Hu Min was so angry that his eyes widened. He stretched out his hand to block Long Xiu and prevent the giant lizard orc from getting close.
Long Yu's eyelids twitched as he looked at Long Xiu's "frightened" face. He had never seen such a rich expression on this kid's face since he was a child.
I didn't expect he was such an actor.
Long Yu swallowed his saliva and turned his head away to look elsewhere. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and reveal his flaws.
The giant lizard orc glanced at Fox Min, and remembered that she had even beaten up the lizard boss yesterday, so he knew that this female was not easy to mess with.
"He has a point. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to say anything even if I saw an elf..."
Shu Er muttered quietly beside him.
Shu Da hugged his arms tightly, shivered, and urged:
"Let's get out of here quickly. Who knows when the elves will come out again? If that happens, we won't be able to leave..."
Lizard Sha will die if he wants to. He doesn’t want to die!
When the animals heard this, they felt a chill down their spines and no one wanted to stay in this damn place anymore.
No one even dared to take Liza's body, so they quickly packed their luggage, organized the team, and set off in a hurry.
Soon, only a pile of messy footprints remained at the campsite.
No one noticed that several small white shadows appeared next to the body of Lizard Sand, jumping on the snow, and chirping sounds were heard in the silent snow.
"It's meat, edible meat~"
"This meat is so smelly, I can't eat it at all!"
"That's right, it's stinky, and it can't compare to the fragrant and sweet meat. I won't eat this kind of stinky meat..."
"It stinks, it doesn't taste good!"
Several small white shadows twisted around Lizard Sha's body, stretched out a phantom limb in disgust, and pinched the nose.
He was hopping around like a little kangaroo while making complaints out loud.
Their bodies almost blended into the snow, and their noisy chatter sounded like the language of the wind to the wild beasts, not at all noticeable.
…
Long Xiu had no idea what appeared on the snow after they left.
Hu Min learned that he was "scared" and comforted him all the way:
"Xiu Xiu, don't be afraid. Grandma is here. Even if there are elves, grandma won't let them hurt you. If the elves want to kill, they will kill the evil orcs first..."
In order to avoid being exposed, Long Xiu had to be led by Hu Min all the way. Even when he wanted to pee, she had to follow him from a distance for fear that he would be scared.
His lowered eyes were full of helplessness.
If I had known this would happen, I would have let my brother deceive them.
After a day's journey, they arrived at the next campsite. Hu Min felt relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual about him, and she left the two cubs behind to get food.
Long Xiu rubbed his warm hands and glanced at Long Yu who was gloating over his misfortune.
"Brother, how did you do that?"
