Chapter 175: The patriarch of the Ender tribe
The patriarch did not approach them, but just stood not far away. He looked at the two of them coldly, "You are from the beast city, what are you doing in our tribe?" His words didn't seem to have a trace of emotion, not even a trace of excitement.
None of the orcs spoke, and they all waited silently for the patriarch's orders.
Seeing that Li Shenghui didn't answer, the patriarch raised his eyebrows and continued, "Who asked you to come here, and what is the purpose of your coming here? If you don't answer, then don't blame us for being rude!"
As if to verify the authenticity of this last sentence, the patriarch waved his hand, and the two orcs behind him nodded. pushed Li Shenghui away and grabbed Xiao Suli beside him, and at this time, Xiao Suli, who had gone mad, had already begun to attack everywhere. If he hadn't had a little sense just now, knowing that Li Shenghui was by his side and he couldn't hurt him, he would have started to attack indiscriminately.
However, his attack was blocked by the patriarch, and the patriarch asked his orcs to catch Li Shenghui. Because the cave path is too narrow, it is impossible to turn into a beast, and it is impossible to use its hands and feet. In the end, he was caught by other orcs and threatened Xiao Suli to stop. Xiao Suli tried hard to control himself and no longer took the initiative to attack. This caused Xiao Suli to suffer a lot of injuries, and in order to try to control himself, he had to hurt himself. Taking advantage of his weakness, the patriarch threw him into a corner of the cave with a slap.
The orcs brought Li Shenghui to the patriarch, and the patriarch carefully began to look up and down. He stretched out a hand and lifted Li Shenghui's chin so that Li Shenghui could look directly into his eyes.
"I just asked you a question and you haven't answered me yet. The patriarch patted Li Shenghui's face lightly, waiting for Li Shenghui's answer.
"Before I answer your question, can you tell me why you suspect that we are from Beast City?" The patriarch's attitude towards them is also too strange, and it seems to be very hostile to the beast city.
"Of course the beast god told me, and I've heard from the tribe's patrol orcs that you can turn into an orc. And this orc beside you is very powerful, I always thought you were an emissary sent by the beast god. But when I communicated with the beast god, I found out that you are not the messenger of the beast god, since you are not the messenger of the beast god, but you have such a powerful power. You must be from Beast City, that terrible place. ”
The patriarch's cold words, Li Shenghui felt a little frightened. The patriarch grabbed Li Shenghui's hand and broke one of his fingers with a slight force.
Li Shenghui's screams came from far away from the cave, and the orcs standing near him couldn't help but feel their bodies tremble. The patriarch did not let him go because of his screams, and reached out again to break his other finger.
Li Shenghui has experienced such cruel torture since he was born, even if he went out hunting, he was not hurt by his prey to such an extent. Now the pain of a severed finger makes him regret it, regret coming here. If it weren't for the path he pointed, they wouldn't have come to this tribe, is this what is called a causal cycle?
"We just came out to train, and we didn't mean to hurt your tribe. Even after experiencing such torture, Li Shenghui was unwilling to tell the patriarch his true situation. As long as he doesn't say it, the patriarch shouldn't kill him for no reason.
"Experience, heh, do you have anything to prove it?" The patriarch's hand was already on Li Shenghui's neck, and as long as he pushed a little harder, Li Shenghui would be strangled to death by him. The patriarch's hand only used a little force, and Li Shenghui felt a little difficult to breathe.
"We just came out of the tribe to train, and we really didn't lie to you. Li Shenghui's face was red, and he was almost out of breath. After barely squeezing these words out of his mouth, he felt even more pain.
The patriarch's hand did not come down, but relaxed a little, and Li Shenghui began to cough desperately. Thanks to the orc's great resilience, he didn't feel bad now.
"Coming out to experience with a sub-orc and a cub?" The patriarch didn't fully believe Li Shenghui's words, if Li Shenghui hadn't given him a satisfactory answer, he estimated that he would really strangle him.
"The sub-orc is mine, and the cub was born to him and me, otherwise he would not be exactly like my beast form. Li Shenghui's answer was firm, and he remembered that his father had instructed him when he first came out of the tribe. If you go to other tribes, you must not say that you are from the beast city, otherwise your life will be in danger.
He always remembered what his father said, and his heart kept rejoicing. If his father hadn't said this to him, he would have died in this tribe.
"Oh, do you dare to come out with your own orcs and cubs?" the patriarch asked with some doubts, his hands tightened Li Shenghui's neck again, and Li Shenghui's hands kept struggling, but to no avail.
"Who said that orcs can't bring their own orcs and cubs out to practice? Orcs actually have attack power! As long as we are careful, we will definitely not encounter any danger!" Uncle Li began to cough again, and he felt that his lungs were about to cough out.
Do cowardly people deserve to be bullied? He has always known that he is cowardly, and he has always been bullied by others. Now his life is in the hands of others, and he will die here at any time if he exerts a little force.
"You didn't come to our tribe in the dust, so that means that your orcs will come out to experience after giving birth to cubs. And you came to our tribe unscathed, and killed the most hated beast of our tribe, how did you do that?" the patriarch's eyes stared at Li Shenghui.
"My orcs are very powerful, and my father has also found a route for me that is not dangerous, so we are not worried that any beast will harm us. As for what you said about how we killed your tribe's most hated beast, it was because I found its weakness. With the experience of his previous life and his ability to react, Li Shenghui answered this question without hesitation.
He shook off the sweat from pain on his head, and the sweat fell on the patriarch's face, who let go of the hand that was gripping his neck.
"Then I'll trust you this time and let him go. The patriarch waved his hand and said to the orcs beside him.
The orcs let go of Li Shenghui's hand, and Li Shenghui quickly ran to Xiao Suli's side. He shook Xiao Suli, but Xiao Suli did not react, still unconscious. The injuries on Xiao Suli's body looked shocking, and Li Shenghui's hands trembled. He desperately controlled his trembling hands, and then hugged Xiao Suli.
"I repent that I hurt your orcs, and we have witch doctors in our tribe. As a token of my apologies for hurting your orcs, we will take you to the Witch Doctor in person. ”
"Get out of the way. After the patriarch told the other orcs to get out of the way, the orcs in front stepped back, and the orcs in the back also retreated. In an instant, there were only three of them left on the road full of people, Li Shenghui walked in front with Xiao Suli in his arms, and the patriarch followed closely behind.
Coming out of the cave, Li Shenghui didn't dare to pause for a moment, he asked the patriarch about the witch doctor's cave and rushed over.
The orcs and cubs along the way all looked at him in unison, and his pace was fast. Because he lived in caves all year round when he was a child, he knew these caves very well and knew the unique signs of these caves.
It didn't take long for him to find the cave, and as soon as he entered the cave, he saw an orc in the cave tinkering with these things. He stepped forward, and the Naya orc turned his head when he heard the footsteps. When he saw the person in Li Shenghui's arms, he put down the black medicinal herbs in his hand, walked to Li Shenghui, snatched Xiao Suli in his arms and put him on the bed.
"Master Witch Doctor, how is he?" Li Shenghui was not angry, he was most concerned about Xiao Suli's situation now.
The old witch doctor looked up at him, "He's injured and I need to medicate him." The witch doctor was obviously not surprised by the injury of the orcs, he just rolled his eyes at Li Shenghui and walked towards the cave.
"Alas~" Li Shenghui waved his hand, he still had questions to ask the witch doctor. He didn't believe that Xiao Suli was just injured, Xiao Suli was so strong, how could he be in a coma for no reason?
After a while, the witch doctor turned back with the herbs. The witch doctor walked up to Li Shenghui and said, "Are you his orc?"
"Yes. Li Shenghui replied firmly, even if it is not now, he silently added this sentence in his heart.
"Then lift off his clothes, and I'll see if he has any other wounds, so that I can give him medicine." ”
Before Li Shenghui's hand could touch Xiao Suli's animal skin coat, someone broke into the cave. Li Shenghui took a closer look, he was the patriarch of the Ande tribe.
The patriarch was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in the cave, and then retreated as if he had reacted.
"I'll keep watch over you outside the cave, and no one will come in. The patriarch's words came from outside the cave.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Don't take off your sub-orc clothes yet!" the witch doctor patted Li Shenghui's head a little angrily. While drugged Xiao Suli, he began to nag, "Don't you orcs know to take good care of your sub-orcs, although sub-orcs have claws and tails, it is difficult for them to beat the beasts outside!"
"They are not you orcs, they have rough skin and thick flesh, and they can easily recover from their injuries. As an orc, you should learn to protect your sub-orc well, and don't let him rush ahead of everything. The witch doctor carefully educated the orc in front of him, and Xiao Suli, who was lying on the stone bed, frowned painfully.
Li Shenghui didn't refute the witch doctor, he just clenched Xiao Suli's hand with some distress.
The witch doctor quickly dressed Xiao Suli with medicine, and he packed up his things and exited the cave. However, as soon as he took two steps, he couldn't help but glance back at Li Shenghui, and instructed, "Your sub-orc needs to rest now, you have to take good care of him." ”
Li Shenghui nodded, he didn't need the witch doctor to say that he would take care of him. Li Shenghui looked at the man lying on the bed in front of him and recalled the various things they had experienced since they met.
When he and Xiao Suli met, they were in a small forest. If he hadn't agreed to take Xiao Suli with him, wouldn't he have been involved in this conspiracy?
When he came out of the tribe, his father told him to be careful. If he hadn't apprenticed and hadn't left the beast city, wouldn't he have found out that he had fallen in love with the person in front of him?
Li Yuan, who was standing on Li Shenghui's shoulder, was silent, and the situation in front of him nakedly told him that the person he liked had already moved away.
