"Go!"
Long Yao raised one hand high, clenched it into a fist, and also wanted to follow Hu Lin.
Hu Jiaojiao grabbed his collar.
The struggling short legs suddenly turned into walking in place.
"Why are you rushing? Go home. This is an adult matter."
Hu Jiaojiao originally wanted to carry Long Yao back like Long Mo did, but she overestimated her own strength and underestimated Long Yao's recent rapid growth.
He exerted force on his arms.
“…” I can’t lift it.
She awkwardly let go of his hand, held his hand instead, and walked back with the cubs.
"Xiao Wu also wants to help teach the bad guys a lesson." Long Yao did not resist. He followed him while muttering softly.
He has been working really hard recently!
Just to be able to help fight the bad guys when they appear!
"Tsk... With your tiny arms and legs, they're not even enough to fill the teeth of those orcs, and you still want to teach them a lesson..." Long Zhong laughed mercilessly at the side.
“I heard that when the orcs outside are extremely hungry, they will eat other orcs. Xiaowu, you are so delicate and tender, tsk…” Long Xiu glanced at Long Yao seriously.
After hearing this, Long Yao unconsciously hugged his arms.
His voice was stumbling. "Really? It's so horrible. Do they even eat orcs?"
“If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself. People like you will probably be robbed as soon as you leave the tribe…” Long Zhong threatened him and made a gesture of eating meat with big mouthfuls.
Long Yao's previous passion disappeared, and he suddenly rushed behind Hu Jiaojiao and hugged her thighs tightly.
"Xiaowu won't go. Xiaowu needs to stay at home and protect mother. Mother is more important..."
The little guy's tail was scared out and was tucked between his legs, like a kitten with its tail tucked between its legs.
Long Zhong was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that tears were almost coming out.
This stupid dragon is so easy to deceive.
Long Yu shook his head helplessly.
Long Yao's appearance made everyone laugh. Long Linger and Yin Cang were no longer so depressed and they all raised the corners of their lips.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't expose them. She followed up the conversation and asked:
"Yao'er is really sensible. Then mother will rely on Yao'er for protection. Now, can Yao'er escort mother home?"
She can't walk because of the pendant on her leg.
"able!"
Looking at Hu Jiaojiao's encouraging expression, Long Yao immediately regained his confidence, wagging his tail and walking in front.
A few kids were laughing softly in the background.
They were not worried about Long Mo. In their eyes, Long Mo was the most powerful orc. He could even come out of the Wild Soul Forest intact. No matter who got into trouble, Long Mo would be fine.
The ones who should be worried are the beastmen causing trouble outside.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, several shadows, one big and six small, were cast.
At this time, the orcs who went out hunting had already returned and were processing their prey at their doorsteps.
The smell on the road was not very pleasant, with the stench of blood and flesh everywhere, but it made the orcs feel very safe, because only with meat could they fill their stomachs.
Hu Jiaojiao and a few others walked along the road, attracting many envious glances from orcs.
Several of them were wearing clean clothes and had fair skin. The smallest cub was chubby and it was obvious that they had good food.
But they just looked and didn't dare to hope for anything.
If others can eat their fill, it’s their ability.
Instead of daydreaming and pursuing unrealistic things, it would be better to do more work and eat more meat.
Those who can enter the Yuehu tribe all have some idea of what's going on.
While being watched, Hu Jiaojiao was also wary of them.
The other orcs were starving, but she and her cubs had rosy and shiny faces. If they were outside the tribe, they would definitely be targets of robbery and fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Hu Jiaojiao was extremely grateful that the security in Yuehu Tribe was relatively good.
Not long after walking with the cub, we met a female carrying a dead fish on the road.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when they passed by each other, she smelled a spoiled odor, which was not like the ordinary fishy smell.
Long Linger also pinched her nose and said in a buzzing voice:
"Auntie, your fish is smelly, isn't it?"
The female subconsciously hid the fish behind her and looked at them warily.
"What are you doing? This is my fish. I caught it from the lake, not picked it up..."
Hearing her words, Hu Jiaojiao knew that she thought they wanted to steal her fish.
While explaining, kindly remind:
"Sister, you misunderstood. I just want to tell you that this fish is bad. You can't eat it. You will get sick if you eat it."
The fish had gone bad and was smelly. There were even long white worms wriggling in its white eyes. The fish scales were also an abnormal black color, indicating that it had become diseased.
If you eat this kind of food in the summer, even a strong man may not be able to bear it.
Not to mention the weak and sickly females.
"What do you mean sick or not? I'm starving to death. I finally caught a fish in the lake, but you won't let me eat it."
The female seemed unconvinced and looked Fox Jiaojiao up and down.
"Are you planning to pick up the fish and eat it after I throw it away?"
She heard that the orcs outside were making trouble again, and it was very fierce.
If that group of ferocious orcs came in, she might not even be able to eat a bite of rotten fish.
"Aunt, we don't want your fish. Our dad can catch prey. He won't let us starve."
The dragon and the flower protector Yao stood beside Fox Jiaojiao's legs, explaining with gestures.
“Just because you can eat your fill doesn’t mean you won’t steal other people’s food.” The female still looked distrustful, but when she saw Long Yao’s well-behaved appearance, her voice softened unconsciously.
She had just joined the tribe not long ago and was not very familiar with the orcs in the tribe.
What impressed her most was the group of hungry orcs outside.
Even if they have a lot of food, they will still steal food from other orcs.
At a time like this, who would complain that they have too much food
Fox Jiaojiao had already anticipated the female's defensiveness and was about to continue explaining to her.
A light voice suddenly interrupted from the side.
"The leader has already said that spoiled and smelly food cannot be eaten. It is easy to cause epidemics. Orcs who are infected with epidemics will die painfully, but it is not as painful as being eaten by wild beasts."
"If you insist on eating it, if something goes wrong, even if you are a female, the leader will expel you from the tribe to protect everyone's safety."
"You won't die from starvation if you go hungry, but do you think it's worth it to lose your life for a fish? If it's worth it, then eat it!"
The female hadn't even imagined how painful it would be to get the disease, and when she heard that she would be driven out later, she immediately threw the fish away.
That wasn’t enough, she wiped her hands vigorously on the animal hide.
"I don't want to eat anymore. I don't want to eat anymore, okay?"
The female said this before turning around and walking away quickly.
It was as if the fish really had a plague.
The voice was obviously a female's, and was speaking for her. Hu Jiaojiao turned around with gratitude.
