Yin Cang clenched his fists uncontrollably, held his breath, and stared at Yin Xue without blinking.
Long Linger stopped looking around and turned around, subconsciously pricked up her ears and looked at Yin Xue intently, waiting for her next words.
Just when the two were about to hear the truth.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance, as if a house was collapsing.
Yin Xue was already trembling with fear, and when she heard the voice, she screamed violently, holding her head and hiding behind her partner, instantly forgetting what she was about to say.
"You..." Yin Cang frowned and was about to continue questioning.
In the distance, a red light instantly covered half the sky. It was a fire rising into the sky, and the direction of burning was exactly where the tribal orcs lived.
The two of them suddenly felt a tightness in their hearts.
Their stone house is in that direction too!
Could something have happened at home
"Witch doctor! Witch doctor..."
Just then, an anxious-looking orc ran up behind the two of them.
"Uncle, what happened over there?" Long Linger asked worriedly.
She recognized this orc; he was a subordinate of Grandpa Hu Lin.
"There was a fire in the tribe. The fire was so big that several orcs went to put it out and got burned. Please ask the witch doctor to save them..."
While the orcs were talking, Long Linger discovered that the fire in the distance had gradually become smaller. She thought that some orcs were trying hard to put out the fire.
She nodded and asked again, "Are my mother and father injured?"
"No." The orc shook his head quickly.
Only then did Long Linger breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'll go with you to rescue people."
She originally wanted to leave with the orc first to buy time for Yin Cang, but the orc saw the three people huddled together and looked puzzled.
"Witch doctor, who are these three orcs...?"
It doesn't seem normal.
"They are sick, uncle, let's go and save them. The burns must be treated quickly, otherwise the orcs will be in great pain." Long Linger cleverly grabbed the orc's sleeve and pulled him away.
It must be more than just a burn if he came to me for treatment in such a hurry.
The burn must have been very severe.
Hearing this, the orc also remembered the several males who were burned to death, and nodded quickly, changed into beast form, and rushed towards the direction of the fire with Long Linger.
How could Yin Cang not know that Long Linger was deliberately luring the orcs away to give himself a chance.
He took two steps towards Yin Xue and was about to continue questioning.
Yin Xue seemed to have been stimulated by something. She held her head and screamed continuously, unable to speak normally.
The other two partners wanted to bury their heads in the ground, and their shrill screams continued one after another.
Yin Cang frowned as he watched this scene, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of him now.
His heart sank to the bottom.
He turned his head to look in the direction where Long Ling'er and the orcs left, then looked back at Yin Xue who had gone crazy.
His eyes darkened, but he finally followed the direction Long Linger left.
…
The fire was not far from Hu Jiaojiao's home. Hu Jiaojiao was worried that something might have happened to the cubs, so she went out with Long Mo to check.
As soon as I arrived nearby, I saw several orcs being carried out with burns all over their bodies.
There was a group of orcs watching from all sides. Seeing an orc being burned so badly, they sighed and did not dare to get too close.
Many enthusiastic orcs also came forward to help.
The fire was almost out at this moment, with only some small flames still fighting stubbornly.
What was burned was a wooden house, and the houses built around it were also mostly burned. In this weather, the orcs would pile up a lot of wood at home, which caused the fire to burn so fiercely.
There was still a lot of flying ash in the air, blowing around with the wind.
Long Mo raised his hand and fanned Hu Jiaojiao on the head twice. Seeing that he couldn't fan her away, he simply took a piece of animal skin and covered her head, and stood in front of her to block most of the flying ashes.
"Ahem... What's going on? Why did you suddenly catch fire?"
"Hiss... Look, it seems that some orcs were burned to death in there!"
"It's so scary, whose cub is this?"
"It was burned to death. This cub is so miserable. How painful it must have been when it died..."
Many orcs were choked by the flying ashes and started coughing. While they were sighing, they suddenly saw several burnt-black figures being carried out from inside.
He was so frightened that he gasped.
Hearing that a cub was burned to death, Hu Jiaojiao was shocked and hurriedly squeezed inside.
Seeing this, Long Mo directly supported her waist, lifted her up and put her into the circle of the orcs.
Only then did Hu Jiaojiao see clearly the corpses that were being carried out.
Those burned to death were five cubs about four or five years old. It was impossible to tell whether they were female or male, but they were all smaller than her cubs.
These cubs had been burned all over their bodies, and were emitting a strong burnt smell, which looked a bit creepy.
While Hu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little heavy in her heart.
It would be hard for any mother to accept that a healthy cub was burned like this.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly, several females rushed out from the crowd, fell beside the bodies of the cubs, and cried loudly.
"My dear, what happened to you? How did you become like this..."
"I was only away for a short while, how could this happen?"
"My son, don't die, get up and look at your mother. Wake up..."
Several females were holding their cubs, wailing continuously, their faces already covered in tears.
Seeing them like this, the orcs around them unconsciously quieted down their discussions.
Following the females, there were several males squeezing in, who seemed to be their partners.
Seeing their partners come in, the females immediately changed their targets, crying and slapping their partners with their hands.
"My cub was burned to death. Where were you? Why weren't you looking after the cub? My cub... "
The female who cried the loudest had a female cub that died.
“Woo woo… My cub is the most obedient and never runs around. How could he go to a strange place with these cubs today and get burned to death!”
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao staring at the corpses motionlessly, Long Mo thought she was frightened, so he stepped forward and held her hand to block her view.
"If you're scared, go back. I'll go find Chief Hu Lin to handle it." The deep and steady voice revealed a hint of tenderness.
Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, but her eyes never left the corpses.
"I'm not afraid."
She was not afraid, but she felt that the cub's body was a little strange.
Hu Jiaojiao took two steps closer and her eyes fell on the head of the corpse. The cub's entire face was burnt, and the skin and fat had turned black and hot, tightly attached to the skull, looking like a black skeleton.
When she was reading a medical book in space, she had seen a diagram of the human bone structure.
The skull of this corpse seemed different from a normal skull, as if... it had been pried open.
