Chapter 82
Being touched by Foxbu is definitely one of the most terrifying events in Langze’s life. Its horror is no less than when he was a child and was almost captured by orcs from other tribes because he moved out of the tribal territory. After returning to the tribe, he was severely beaten by his brother. It is even more terrifying.
Langze covered his legs and cried to Langqi and Baitu, saying that the little wolves would go to their boss when they encountered problems they couldn’t handle, and as their boss, he would naturally go to his brother when they couldn’t handle the problem. In his mind, touching people randomly and biting people randomly are the same, both are crazy.
Langze originally wanted to transform into a beast and act coquettishly in his brother’s arms, but when he thought about the treatment he might get if he acted coquettishly now, he decisively changed his target to Baitu.
Bai Tu rubbed the little wolf who was taller than him and said, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’ll find a way.”
Lang Qi glanced at Lang Ze and said nothing.
Langze didn’t know that if an adult wolf was here, it would have been dead by now. However, his years of keenness told Langze that it was not advisable to stay here for long. After acting coquettishly with Bai Tu, he prepared to leave, but he did not forget to confirm with Bai Tu before leaving: “Tu, you must find a way!”
“Okay, okay,” Bai Tu nodded, comforting the frightened little wolf, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you send me off tomorrow.”
“What do you mean you are not allowed to send me off?” A familiar voice sounded outside the cave, and Langqi became alert instantly.
Bai Tu looked over and saw Hei Xiao getting off Hei Yan’s back. This time Hei Yan finally did not get lost. He flew to the front of the mountain in a flash and even landed at the entrance of Bai Tu’s cave.
This was something very worthy of showing off. Heiyan folded his wings, looked at Langze with great pride, and was shocked by his action: “What are you doing?”
“None of your business!” Having lost face in front of someone he didn’t like, Langze quickly withdrew his hand from his leg.
Heiyan laughed at him: “Are you being taken advantage of?”
“I hit you!” Langze was instantly furious.
Heiyan snorted: “Who’s afraid of you?” ”
Okay, stop arguing.” Bai Tu spoke to end the topic. Given their personalities, it is possible that they would end up fighting while arguing, so it is better to stop them early.
Langze and Heiyan snorted in unison and ignored each other.
Hei Xiao didn’t say anything. His originally happy expression became a little stiff after seeing the scene in the cave. His eyes shifted back and forth between Langze and Bai Tu, and between Bai Tu and Lang Qi. Finally, looking at Lang Qi’s unfriendly eyes, he vaguely guessed a possibility and said in a deep voice: “Tu, come here, I have something to tell you.”
The defensiveness in Lang Qi’s eyes was almost tangible. He stared at the other party, as if he would take action at any time.
Hei Yan sensed the fighting intention and protected Hei Xiao: “What are you doing?!”
Bai Tu raised his hand to hold down Lang Qi’s arm: “This is Hei Xiao and Hei Yan, remember these two people? We are partners, not bad people.”
Lang Qi has been communicating more with people from the two tribes recently, and with his reminders, he can match the orcs with some things in his memory. Although he still treats other people with a cold face as always, he is not as hostile as at the beginning. However, they were still very wary when seeing unfamiliar orcs, especially unfamiliar adult orcs. They were even more cautious.
Bai Tu explained and pointed to a stool on the other side for Hei Xiao to sit down and rest for a while, and called out to Lang Ze: “Ze, ask Mu to send some food over.” The heavier the food, the slower the flying speed. In order to arrive earlier, the Eagle Clan would not bring too much food on the road, usually only enough to fill half the stomach. They flew all the way half-hungry and half-full, and they would not be able to recover without a day’s rest each time.
“I’m not hungry.” Heixiao shook his head. “Tu, let’s eat after we finish talking about this.”
Bai Tu didn’t know why Heixiao was suddenly so difficult to talk to this time. Worried that it was an important secret, he comforted Langqi, whose attitude was still changing: “I’ll go and take a look and come over later, okay?” The influence of the drug had not yet dissipated, and Bai Tu couldn’t help but use a coaxing tone when talking to Langqi.
The same words seemed like coquetry to Lang Qi, who usually enjoyed this kind of coquetry that gave rise to a sense of trust. But today, these words were said for another person. Lang Qi looked at Hei Xiao again, and he had a hunch that this man would argue with him.
Bai Tu came close to Lang Qi and whispered in his ear, “Hei Xiao is Hei Yan’s partner.” He has a partner, so he can put aside his jealousy.
“Let’s talk about it here.” Lang Qi still didn’t want to let him go. He would feel at ease only when he made sure Bai Tu was in front of him.
Bai Tu was helpless. He looked at Hei Xiao and pointed to a table not far away: “Let’s talk over there?”
Hei Xiao glanced at Lang Qi, nodded in agreement, and said considerately: “I’m fine with anything, as long as it’s convenient for you.”
“Look at them.” Bai Tu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Hei Xiao was understanding.
Lang Qi suddenly looked at Hei Xiao. If looks could kill, Hei Xiao would have died eighteen times by now.
Hei Xiao returned a polite smile, but put it away the moment Bai Tu looked up, and became the usual weak young man again, releasing a piece of news that caught everyone else off guard: “Tu, I won’t go back this time. I’ll go to the market with you.”
“What???” Two voices, one from Hei Yan who was staring in disbelief, and the other from Lang Ze who had just handed over matters to the wolf clan.
Hei Yan had no intention of arguing with Lang Ze this time. He looked at Hei Xiao, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. As the leader of the tribe, he must take his people to the market. If Hei Xiao didn’t leave, wouldn’t that mean the two of them were separating?
Langze didn’t know that Heiyan would go back, and looked incredulous. He was going to live and eat with the Eagle Tribe all the way? This kind of thing is absolutely impossible! !
For the first time, Lang Qi found Lang Ze so pleasing to the eye. As expected, communication between people requires comparison. If you don’t know more people, you will never imagine how displeasing someone is.
But no matter what the three people thought, the two people at the center of the topic had no intention of listening to their ideas. Bai Tu was only happy to hear what Hei Xiao said. Although he got along well with the tribesmen in the tribe, the feeling was always different every time he was with Hei Xiao.
The two men left the others and walked to the other side. Hei Xiao raised his hand and pointed at Bai Tu’s ear: “What is this?”
Bai Tu was puzzled. He raised his hand and touched it, and felt a little itchy. Thinking of what happened last night, his ears turned red instantly.
Hei Xiao guessed the reason almost immediately after seeing his reaction, but still didn’t want to believe it: “You and Lang Qi are partners???” Until before coming in, he was glad that he had always emphasized to Bai Tu not to find a partner casually, especially a young one. Until he saw Lang Qi clearly in the cave, and especially when Lang Qi and Bai Tu were so close, he had a bad feeling. Now Hei Xiao wished he could go back to a few months ago. Whether Bai Tu was willing or not, he would tie him back to the Black Hawk tribe!
But it was too late to say anything now. Hei Xiao looked at the marks on Bai Tu’s neck and thought about the possibility of taking Bai Tu back to find a new partner. Although orcs are very loyal to their partners and will not easily change once they have chosen one, according to what he had found out, Bai Tu had only been in the Snow Rabbit Tribe for a few months and had not been very close to Lang Qi before, which proved that their feelings were not deep.
Lang Qi is a scheming person. Hei Xiao doesn’t want Bai Tu to find someone young and immature, because he knows how clingy immature partners can be. At the same time, he also doesn’t want Bai Tu to find someone like Lang Qi. The fact that he never lets Bai Tu go out with him shows that Lang Qi is too possessive. Hei Xiao frowned.
Bai Tu understood that Hei Xiao had misunderstood. After all, Hei Xiao was not the only orc who had misunderstood during this period. He explained, “They are not partners, there was an accident.” Although Lang Qi had been very clingy recently, Bai Tu was sober and understood that it was only due to the effect of the drug. When the effect of the drug wore off, their relationship would at most return to that of friends. If the other party was uncomfortable with what had happened recently, they might not even be friends anymore.
A gleam of light flashed in Hei Xiao’s eyes. He suppressed the urge to tell the other party something else and said with concern: “What is it?” The experience of witnessing countless events told Hei Xiao that at this time, using the identity of an elder to suppress others would easily backfire. Instead, the identity of a friend would make it easier for the other party to let down their guard. Even though he was extremely excited, Hei Xiao still restrained himself and solved the problem in front of him before talking about another one. After all, his problem was very complicated to explain.
Hei Xiao couldn’t bear to see Bai Tu so worried, and said considerately: “Come and see, can we help?”
This is a long story, and even if Hei Xiao didn’t ask Bai Tu, he would have to tell it. After all, he wanted to inquire about the situation of the orc from the Iron Elephant Tribe. He talked about what happened that day: “I suspect there is something wrong with the knife, but I dare not check it again.” The lion tribe who used the knife died, and Lang Yang, who held the knife, would occasionally change into beast form uncontrollably. Lang Qi and he changed into beast form on time at midnight every day and recovered in the morning. Bai Tu didn’t know how long the effect of the medicine would last, and he didn’t dare to gamble.
“What happened to the fallen beast from the Iron Elephant Tribe?” Bai Tu asked. This was very important to him. If it was due to the same reason, he could estimate the duration of the drug’s effectiveness based on the other party’s situation.
After hearing that Lang Qi almost turned into a fallen beast after being injured, Hei Xiao became more certain of his plan. However, although he didn’t want Bai Tu and Lang Qi to become partners, Hei Xiao didn’t intend to use this incident to do anything. He informed
Bai Tu of the situation of the Iron Elephant Tribe truthfully: “It hasn’t recovered, but the previous fallen beasts of the Iron Elephant Tribe recovered in about half a year.” “There were also fallen beasts before?” Bai Tu was a little surprised. After all, the destructive power of the fallen beast was amazing. One was scary enough, and it wasn’t the first one.
“Yes,” Hei Xiao was not surprised by his shock. After all, he had the same reaction when he heard about it. “This is the sixth fallen orc from the Iron Elephant Tribe. Starting three years ago, the orcs of the Iron Elephant Tribe began to uncontrollably transform into beasts. The first fallen beast appeared two years ago. The patriarch of the Iron Elephant Tribe put the man in an iron cage and only fed him a little food every day. It took until the seventh month for him to recover. Last year, two orcs degenerated and also recovered after six or seven months. This year, three became fallen beasts and the other two were caught. One ran away due to lack of manpower.”
The one who ran away was the one who entered the Black Eagle Tribe. Later, the Iron Elephant Tribe sent a lot of supplies to thank the Black Eagle Tribe. Now those items are still in the tribe, especially the knives. Because the Iron Elephant Tribe does not exchange them with outsiders, they are becoming more and more precious. If Bai Tu had not lacked them, Hei Xiao would have sent them over.
“Has the Iron Elephant Tribe communicated with the orcs of the Red Eagle Tribe?” Bai Tu asked. Due to the terrain, it takes a long time for the orcs to go from here to the southern continent, and they need to pass through the territories of different tribes, which is very dangerous. The Feathered Tribe is not restricted by the terrain, as long as they have a place to rest when they are tired of flying, it will be fine. If the Fallen Beasts of the Iron Elephant Tribe are related to Fox Step, then he must go through the orcs of the Red Eagle Tribe to implement the plan.
Hearing this, Hei Xiao was very surprised: “Are you looking for orcs from the Red Eagle tribe?”
“Yes, I want to check what happened before.” Bai Tu nodded, but was a little worried, “I don’t know if I can find out what happened sixteen years ago.” Bai Tu felt that it was necessary to check what happened from the time Fox Bu left the Red Fox Tribe to the present, but he didn’t know if he could find out, after all, so much time had passed. But he would feel uneasy if he didn’t get to the bottom of it. After all, he didn’t want to solve one thing only to have another one pop up. It would be best if he could get rid of the people behind Foxstep all at once.
Hearing the number sixteen, Hei Xiao looked at him in surprise: “You knew???”
“Huh?” Bai Tu looked at him in confusion. Didn’t he just suspect that Foxbu had something to do with the trouble caused by the Red Eagle Tribe? Why was he so shocked?
Hei Xiao didn’t notice his doubts. His mind was in a mess and the usually calm little man in his head was muttering to himself.
What to do, what to do, what to do now…
