SFS Chapter 309 Save Them
Chapter 309 Save Them
Outside a heavily guarded camp, Lang Cang wore a grass ring on his head, and his face was covered with a three-color camouflage pattern of grass juice, yellow soil, and charcoal ash.
They finally found the main camp of the Chaoxiong tribe.
"Luckily, the boss was careful back then, otherwise that bastard would have fooled us!" Huqiu said with a resentful look.
At first, they left three people alive, but two of them, after waking up, secretly committed suicide when they weren't looking and couldn't be saved, leaving only one alive in the end.
The remaining one was a coward, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be dishonest and tried to lead them into the swamp in the opposite direction.
As Lang Cang walked further, he felt something was amiss. Just then, the person stepped forward and said they were going the wrong way. Only then did they realize they had almost been tricked.
Xi Zhao glanced furtively at the slightly thin figure huddled in the corner. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and handed him a fur coat.
"Do you want to put something on?" Xi Zhao frowned as he looked at the sub-orc on the ground, who was hugging his knees. His hair was a little long and covered his eyes, and he was only wearing a fur skirt that he had transformed into.
Although it was only the beginning of summer, the night air was still quite cool.
The sub-beastman looked up and revealed his face, which was none other than the spirit dog tribesman that Lin Baiyan had brought back to the tribe before!
At first, Quan Guo didn't hear Xi Zhao's words clearly and looked at him blankly. It wasn't until Xi Zhao repeated them that he hurriedly waved his hands vigorously, "Sir, I don't need it!"
Such fine animal hide clothing must have been kept by Xi Zhao for himself; how could he wear someone else's clothes!
Since being brought back to the Cangyan tribe, Quan Guo was utterly despondent. He thought he had only escaped from the wolf's den to the tiger's mouth. Unexpectedly, Lin Baiyan arranged a place for him to live, allowing him to live with the cubs.
Quan Guo felt a faint hope for life rekindle in his heart, and he obediently joined the work of the Cangyan tribe. However, strictly speaking, he was not a member of the Cangyan tribe, but Lin Baiyan hesitated for a moment and still added work points for him.
He usually worked with the older orcs to knead animal hides, and most of the time he just worked in silence.
The Azure Flame Tribe provided food and lodging, and the orcs in the tribe were very friendly. He saved up a lot of work points and exchanged them for several animal hides, but he cherished them and kept them safe.
On many occasions, he would think of his people thousands of miles away, whether he was eating delicious food, seeing beautiful scenery, or even sunbathing with the orcs of the Azure Flame Tribe.
He once had a wild thought: how wonderful it would be if they were members of the Azure Flame Tribe.
His distant clansmen were like a thorn in his heart, constantly causing him pain.
When he secretly saw the injured members of the Giant Bear tribe, Dog Fruit knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
He saw that the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was recruiting warriors, so late at night, he stopped Lin Baiyan on his way home.
That night.
"High Priest, I want to go to the Giant Bear Tribe with you." Quan Guo nervously twisted his fingers.
Lin Baiyan looked at him in surprise, "You are... Quan Guo?"
The orc nodded timidly, "Yes."
Lin Baiyan looked at him silently without saying a word.
Dog Fruit stammered, trying to buy himself a chance, "I... our Spirit Dog clan has an extremely keen sense of smell, perhaps I can help you find the whereabouts of the Giant Bear Tribe."
Lin Baiyan sighed, "Isn't Beast City good enough?" He saw Quan Guo mingling among the beastmen and thought he had gotten used to his current life.
"No, no! Beast City is great, it's the best place I've ever been in all my years as a beast."
However, the better the place was, the stronger his sense of guilt became.
He eats and drinks well here, but his people are still struggling to survive under the oppression of the Superb Tribe, and Dog Fruit can't bear to watch them suffer.
Lin Baiyan looked at him with a complicated expression, her words carrying a deeper meaning, "Even if our trip is only to find the Giant Bear Tribe?"
Hearing him say that, Inugo panicked a little.
Lin Baiyan actually figured it out.
He admitted that he had selfish motives. He hoped that when the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was rescuing the Giant Bear Tribe, it might also be able to rescue the beastmen of the Spirit Dog Tribe.
He hadn't expected that the High Priest of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts would be so perceptive, seeing through his little scheme at a glance.
Quan Guo knelt down abruptly, looking at him pleadingly, "High Priest, it's my fault, I shouldn't have tried to do something like this, but could you please save my people as well?"
"I swear in the name of the Beast God that our Spirit Dog Clan will repay the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. We can work, we can do a lot of work!"
Lin Baiyan was stunned by Quan Guo's sudden kneeling. He hurriedly tried to help Quan Guo up, but Quan Guo shook his head, his eyes full of pain. "The Chaoxiong Tribe is no good beast at all. If this continues, the Spirit Dog Clan will perish sooner or later."
As Quan Guo spoke, he was about to kowtow to Lin Baiyan, "High Priest, please, please!"
Lin Baiyan stopped him with a slightly forceful gesture, "If you keep doing this, you're not going!"
Inu-go suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming with immense joy. "You agreed?"
Lin Baiyan sighed, "We happen to need a guide."
When traveling to unfamiliar places thousands of miles away, it's always safer to have a guide who is familiar with the terrain.
"Aren't you going to stand up?" He looked down at the pitiful sub-beastman. He had given the same work points as the dog, so why had he grown into this state, so thin and bony, as if a gust of wind could blow him over?
Inu-go jumped to his feet. "I'll go back and get ready right away!"
As it turned out, bringing Quan Guo along was the best decision Lin Baiyan ever made. With his guidance on the terrain, their team avoided many detours.
This time, it was because he sensed the boar-beastman's scent fading and, combined with Lang Cang's keen sixth sense, that they escaped the male beastman's trap.
Then, relying on Quan Guo's keen sense of smell, they gradually found the Chao Xiong tribe's hidden base camp deep in the forest.
At this moment, Quan Guo looked at the male beastman in front of him, at a loss, and then refused the clothes offered to him once again, "Sir, I really don't need them."
Xi Zhao frowned, looking at the orc's neck and slender wrists that seemed like they could be snapped with a single pinch. He simply draped the animal skin coat he was holding over Quan Guo's shoulders and then said, "If you don't want it, just throw it away!"
Upon hearing this, Quan Guo looked at him with disapproval, "How can you throw away such a fine animal skin garment!"
He felt the slow warmth emanating from the animal skin coat and murmured, "Thank you, Lord Xizhao."
Xi Zhao coughed lightly. "Just call me Xi Zhao."
There seemed to be something strange between the two orcs.
Just as Xi Zhao was about to say something, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Wow~"
"How domineering!"
"Wonderful!"
Xi Zhao turned his head and saw two people hiding behind a tree, only their heads showing. They were Hu Qiu and Xiong Fei.
For some reason, Xi Zhao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
