"Leihe Tribe..."
Long Linger was a little confused, her watery eyes widened, and she quickly reacted.
She was still caught by the strange old man!
"Wait, that weird old man you said is Hu Lin. Is he your leader?" Long Linger asked in disbelief.
"Yes." The fox subordinate smiled kindly and nodded.
"Don't worry, the leader has already given instructions. From now on, you will be our little leader. Everyone in the tribe is yours. You don't have to be afraid."
There are very few fox orcs in the tribe, and they are all Hu Lin’s confidants. Seeing that Hu Lin has such a beloved cub, they all love her as if she were their own cub.
Long Linger still looked repulsed.
She finally understood that the strange old man was actually the leader of that group of bad orcs!
It was he who caused them to be captured, so she didn't want to live here and didn't want this kind of people.
"I don't want to be your little leader. Let me go out. Where is Yin Cang? I want to find Yin Cang." When Long Linger didn't see Yin Cang, she immediately jumped off the stone bed and wanted to go out to find him.
"Little leader, you can't go out."
The fox orcs immediately blocked the entrance to the cave, blocking her way.
"The Yincang you are talking about is the cub that was with you, right? Don't worry, he is fine and resting in the cave next to him."
"The leader said that you have to stay in the cave until you really want to stay. Just tell me what you want and I will bring it to you."
After hearing his words, Long Linger's brows were knitted so tightly that she could pinch an ant to death.
Long Linger touched the small knife hidden in her sleeve.
What did she want? She wanted to kill that nasty old man!
Soon, she lost her temper again and let go.
The strange old man was too strong, and she couldn't move her knife...
She glanced at her fox subordinates who looked peaceful. Since they had been captured, they could only think of a way to escape...
…
The other side.
Ying Yuan and others also followed the traces left by Long Linger and found the Leihe tribe.
In order not to alert the enemy, the group of orcs stopped three miles away from the tribe.
Hu Qingshan and Hu Qingyuan are both white foxes, which can easily hide their bodies in the snow. They went to the Leihe tribe to gather information.
The Leihe Tribe is located on the bank of the Lei River. It is one of the few flat lands among the surrounding mountains. It is almost sandwiched between high mountains. There is no wall built around the tribe, only a few turtle orcs guarding and patrolling.
Because it was winter, there were no orcs walking around in the tribe, but judging from the size of the tribe and the number of wooden houses inside, it was vaguely visible that there were quite a few people.
The brothers Hu Qingshan and Hu Qingyuan explored outside the tribe and had a rough idea of the situation.
"This tribe looks quite big. The total population is probably two or three times that of ours..." Hu Qingyuan sighed, hiding behind a huge rock covered with snow.
There are many huge rocks nearby and the ground is not flat at all. It looks like there are countless large protruding snowballs, which is very suitable for them to hide themselves.
Hu Qingshan's expression was somewhat solemn.
"Brother, you said that the tribe that Ying Yuan and his men were looking for was also here. If this tribe really captured the females and cubs, they would definitely not want to give them up..."
"My little sister is still missing. I don't know if she is safe. If they don't return her or help us, then our trip would be in vain."
Hu Qingyuan was a chatterbox. When he thought of their current situation, he frowned and couldn't help nagging in Hu Qingshan's ear.
"Since we are here, there is no reason to go back empty-handed."
Hu Qingshan looked at the tribe with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, word by word:
"First, make sure they are the ones who have captured the female and the cubs. You can choose not to help, but you must bring our orcs back!"
Hu Qingyuan's eyes sparkled, "Big brother is right."
He glanced at a group of patrolling orcs passing by the tribe in the distance. Among them, a giant lizard orc had fallen behind, apparently to defecate.
Hu Qingyuan suddenly had an idea and said alertly:
"Brother, I have a way to find out whether the female and the cubs are in the tribe!"
…
In the temporary camp where the beasts are stationed.
Hu Qingshan and other orcs gathered together and surrounded a trembling giant lizard orc.
"Who are you and why are you arresting me..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I caught you. Now it's your turn to ask me questions?" Hu Qingyuan stepped on the chest of the giant lizard orc with one foot. His tone was a little arrogant and he looked down at him condescendingly.
He finally had a place to vent the anger he had incurred along the way, but he would not be merciful or gentle to the giant lizard beastmen.
"Tell me quickly, did you capture a group of females and cubs, maybe dozens of them?"
When the giant lizard orcs saw this scene, they dared not hide it anymore and nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, a group of orcs did come to our tribe recently, but we didn't capture them. We saw that they had nowhere to go, so we asked them to join our tribe..."
He defended himself guiltily.
"It's really you!" Hu Qingyuan was furious when he heard this.
"Join your tribe? We were staying right next to the tribe, but you came and took away all the supplies. How can we join? You are robbing! Robbers!"
He kicked the man away with a look on his face, then turned back to look at the other orcs angrily.
"Brother, Ying Yuan, you all heard it, right? They kidnapped all the females and cubs from our tribe. They are not good people!"
The giant lizard orc was a little confused listening to his words.
After a closer look, I realized that the orc looked familiar, "You, you are the male who was left in the snow!"
He suddenly thought of something and remembered Hu Qingyuan's appearance.
"Yes, it's me, your grandpa!"
Hu Qingyuan snorted coldly.
He walked up to Hu Qingshan and said seriously:
"Brother, their tribe can say that they are doing it out of kindness by taking away the females. They are definitely not good people. If you want them to help you, there is no hope."
Hu Qingshan nodded, "It seems that we can only find a way to rescue the female and the cubs."
If we can rescue them, it will be considered an important mission accomplished.
They can go back and support Long Mo with peace of mind.
Ying Yuan's face was gloomy. When he learned that Lu Mian'er was in a nearby tribe, he could no longer hold back and said in a cold voice:
"I'll lead people directly to their tribe and rescue Mian'er and the others!"
Hu Qingyuan couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "The number of people in their tribe is several times that of ours. If you go, can you handle so many orcs?"
His parents always say that he doesn't use his brain when he speaks or does things, but he thinks Ying Yuan is the one who doesn't use his brain!
At least he can still use his brain sometimes...
"Then what do you say we should do?" Ying Yuan looked at Hu Qingyuan coldly, his icy voice revealing displeasure.
"How should I know? My brain isn't working well either..." Hu Qingyuan curled his lips. He and Ying Yuan were in the same boat.
Hu Qingshan rubbed his brows, interrupted the quarrel between the two, and suddenly asked the giant lizard orc: "What kind of person is your leader?"
The giant lizard orc answered without thinking:
"Our leader is a very nice person, he is kind and has a good heart, he never mistreats the orcs..."
