Chapter 72
As Langze walked up the mountain step by step with a very sad and angry mood, Bai Tu was trying to calm down the increasingly irritable Langqi.
The louder the noise and the more people there were at the foot of the mountain, the more obvious Lang Qi’s reaction became. He became more irritable and restless, and wanted to go down. Fortunately, although the other orcs were worried about Bai Tu, they listened to his advice and did not move.
Bai Tu asked tentatively: “Is it okay not to go down the mountain?” His voice was the same as when he usually coaxed the cubs. He remembered that after he said this, Lang Qi had given up coming out. It was only after he heard Lang Ze’s voice coming out first that he heard the rest of the words. Otherwise, it would have been safer to take Lang Qi directly into the cave.
Hearing the voice, Lang Qi turned to look at him, and several similar voices emerged in his mind. Each sentence was very gentle, but the people speaking were not himself, but the cubs, the two cubs that did not belong to him.
When did you hear it? Lang Qi’s eyes changed again and again as he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that he had calmed down a little, Bai Tu continued to coax him, “Let’s go back to the cave, okay?” Bai Tu’s heart was in his throat, fearing that the other party would not cooperate. He didn’t know what had happened last night, but it was obviously too late to ask now. The most important thing was to control Lang Qi.
Go back to the cave… Lang Qi didn’t know what he was thinking of. His eyes deepened. He followed Bai Tu towards the cave, his eyes always on him.
Bai Tu didn’t dare to relax until Lang Qi returned to the place where he had applied the medicine. However, his nervous mood had not yet subsided. The cub who woke up in the bed and didn’t see anyone crawled to the bedside and called him with a hum. Bai Tu’s heart, which had just calmed down, was immediately lifted up. Lang Qi’s look now was almost the same as when he woke up!
He suddenly understood that the way Lang Qi stared at the cub in the middle of the night was not because he wanted to get close to his nephew, but because he wanted to destroy all the living things around him. It was exactly the same as Hei Xiao said, and even more violent than usual. It’s just that there had been no fallen beasts nearby, so he didn’t think about it in that direction.
Bai Tu felt a chill on the back of his neck. Outside were the returning wolves, rabbits, leopards and cats, and in the cave were two cubs. No matter where he took Lang Qi, it would be very dangerous.
Lang Qi glanced in the direction of the bed. The two cubs posed no threat at all and could be made to disappear with just a bite.
Bai Tu saw that his gaze was becoming more and more dangerous, so he couldn’t help but move to block his sight. Lang Qi, sensing his nervousness and defensiveness, stopped looking at the bedside and leaned close to him, sniffing him gently.
Bai Tu thought that it was fortunate that he was in human form now, otherwise he would have to perform a show of standing still with anger. However, he also knew that he could not dodge, as dodging at this time would make it easier to anger the other party.
Lang Qi seemed to be assessing the dessert in front of him to see if it suited his taste. The result was obvious: it was delicious. An indescribable emotion welled up in his heart. Lang Qi was puzzled, but inexplicably wanted to get closer to the other person, closer. The wolf used his nose to rub Bai Tu’s face, but the movement was too big and he almost knocked him down. A trace of annoyance flashed in the wolf’s eyes, and he immediately slowed down his movement and rubbed the other person gently as if to comfort him.
Bai Tu: “…” How to put it, now he could understand that the other party didn’t want to hurt him, but with the largest canine he had ever seen in his life snuggling up to him, even if he wasn’t bitten, it was impossible for him to not feel any pressure.
This won’t work. Bai Tu thinks about how to send the cub out. He is safe here, but the cub is not. Both times Lang Qi looks at the cub, his eyes are not friendly enough.
Just when Bai Tu didn’t know what to do, Langze’s voice came from the cave entrance.
Bai Tu was almost furious. Lang Ze was really furious when he saw there were no wolves or people at the entrance of the cave. With Lang Qi’s size, he only needed one bite to kill Bai Tu. Lang Ze, who almost cried, crawled into the cave and saw Bai Tu appear in front of him intact.
Langze then realized something very serious. Just because Baitu was intact didn’t mean he would be intact. Sensing the murderous intent, Langze rolled over to avoid Langqi’s attack. Facing Langqi’s murderous gaze, he felt for the first time how close he was to death. At the same time, he realized the gap between himself and his brother. The wolves who had truly experienced fighting were in completely different states when they were angry than when they were usually. At least this was the first time that Lang Qi looked at him like this.
Even though he knew he couldn’t beat the brother in front of him, Langze remained fearless. He leaned forward slightly and bent backward slightly, ready to attack at any time.
There was a sound coming from the cave entrance. It was other wolves following Langze’s footsteps. The wolf tribe is never afraid of fighting. But this time they were facing their own leader. The wolves looked at the two people at the center of the battle, hesitating. Everyone understands that once you take action, there will be no room for regret.
Bai Tu did not expect the wolf tribe to arrive so quickly. It is understandable that the first thing Langze did when he returned to the tribe was to tell everyone that Langqi had turned into a fallen beast, which means that the wolf tribe had no intention of hiding Langqi’s situation.
If Lang Qi was still outside, the wolf clan’s decision could save many people. A large part of the number of people injured by fallen beasts was caused by the deliberate concealment after the fallen beasts were discovered. After all, even if they saw an orc in beast form, others would confirm it again. During this hesitation, the fallen beast had already started to attack. If Lang Qi’s situation was truthfully reported, other orcs would actively stay away from him if they encountered him to avoid casualties.
As for now, the wolf clan plans to capture Lang Qi. Everyone knows that Lang Qi’s current combat power is amazing and he is not afraid of pain, but someone has to solve this problem.
Whether Lang Qi was besieged and killed by the wolves, or Lang Qi killed the wolves that attacked him, it was not the scene that Bai Tu wanted to see. He chose to try first. If Lang Qi did not hurt anyone but was just unconscious, does that mean he can still be saved?
Bai Tu couldn’t accept the death of someone who had been by his side all day, and in such a miserable way.
“Lang Qi!” Bai Tu called out to Lang Qi who was about to attack Lang Ze again. Lang Qi started attacking Lang Ze as soon as he appeared, and he didn’t even have time to react.
Hearing Bai Tu’s voice, the wolf that was about to attack paused, stared at the creatures in front of it, turned around and walked to Bai Tu, gently rubbed his cheek to comfort him, and its mouth accidentally rubbed the corner of his mouth, and its whole body shook instantly.
The wolves who witnessed the whole process were filled with grief and anger, and their expressions gradually became petrified. Langze, who was closest to the two, saw his brother’s actions and thought he was going to bite someone. He let out a howl and tried to pounce to save Bai Tu, but was grabbed by the neck by an older orc next to him.
“Awooo?” Langze’s howl got stuck in his throat.
The older wolf pushed Langze: “Awooo~~” to remind him to retreat.
The way the Wolf King faced them just now was just like the fallen beasts in the legend, even more cold-blooded and ruthless. He barely concealed his intention to kill them, but his current actions were clearly an attempt to court them! ! !
If the fighting power of the fallen beasts is twice as strong as usual, then the orcs who are courting will have to double their fighting spirit against other orcs. The older wolves know that it is impossible to capture Lang Qi today without killing several wolves.
As for the matter of death, the first one to be dealt with must be the older orcs like them. The tribe cannot be without the Wolf King, and Langze is a young orc and cannot face Langqi directly at this time.
The order of the wolves began to change, with the older wolves closest, the young wolves in the middle, and finally the younger generation of wolves.
The older wolves stared at their former leader in front of them. Once Wolf Qi went crazy, they would fight back and stop Wolf Qi in the cave.
The two cubs called out a few times but Bai Tu still didn’t come. They grabbed the edge of the bed and saw Bai Tu was there. They tried to roll off the bed, but Bai Tu designed the bed to prevent them, so of course they couldn’t get down.
Lang Qi didn’t even look at anyone else, his eyes locked on Bai Tu’s mouth, wanting to do it again.
Bai Tu was worried that Lang Qi would hurt the wolf clan, and at the same time worried that the wolf clan would hurt Lang Qi. He didn’t take the kiss from Lang Qi seriously at all. Now Lang Qi is just a big dog who can’t remember anything. Who would care about being kissed by a dog? He was judging Lang Qi’s current condition. He could understand his cries and had not hurt anyone for no reason so far. This made him different from the fallen beast in the rumors that would kill anyone without any regard for their relatives. In this case, he wanted to give it a try.
Bai Tu raised his hand and placed it on Lang Qi’s ear, stroking it gently a few times. It’s like this usually, the cub feels very comfortable when you touch it.
Lang Qi looked at him without stopping him. After thinking for a moment, he lay down beside him so that Bai Tu wouldn’t have to raise his hand.
The wolves paused in their tense defense. Was the wolf king planning to attack them? Although going up the mountain to actively seek a fight sounded wrong, if they didn’t go up, the Wolf King would go down sooner or later, and the casualties would be even greater. They just didn’t expect to see this scene now.
Bai Tu massaged Lang Qi’s ears and head, and seeing that he relaxed, he winked at the wolf clan, asking them to take the two cubs away.
The older wolf who had pushed Langze to the back just now understood what he meant and walked over there. However, as soon as this side moved, Langqi, who had closed his eyes and enjoyed Bai Tu’s caress, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with murderous intent in his eyes. Even if it’s not his cub, no one else can touch it.
Bai Tu immediately raised his hand to ask the other party to stop, and while gently comforting Lang Qi, he waved his hand to let others go.
The older orc looked at Lang Qi and then at Bai Tu, and realized that the current situation was that Bai Tu could suppress Lang Qi. The wolf tribe, who didn’t want to attack their leader, hesitated for a moment and looked to the other side.
Several wolves exchanged glances and decided to retreat first and guard the entrance of the cave. As long as the wolf king doesn’t go crazy, they don’t have to take action.
After the wolves withdrew, Bai Tu stood up and wanted to give them a few instructions. There was not much food in the cave, so at least send some food to them.
Lang Qi glanced at the cub on the bed, then looked at Bai Tu, and did not stop him.
