Chapter 193 Conflict
Xiong Zhi shook her aching hand, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "I'm hitting you because you're asking for it. You're just asking for it by coming up to me like that."
Lioness's once pretty face twisted in rage as she pointed at the orc in front of her, "I will never let you get away with this!"
"What are you waiting for? Go and grab him!" Lioness screamed at the two male orcs beside her. "I'm injured today, believe me or not, I'll have my father take your food!"
Lionmin's father was one of the captains of the Mad Lion Clan's hunting team, and he usually held a certain status, managing more than a hundred male beastmen.
The two male orcs were under the command of Lion Min's father. They exchanged a glance and then rushed forward to grab Xiong Zhi.
The male orcs from the opposing Giant Bear tribe couldn't stand by and watch Xiong Zhi be captured, so they all rushed forward.
While the two male orcs were locked in combat, Lioness seized an opportunity and walked towards Bear.
Having lost face in front of so many people today, she suddenly lost her temper, pulled out a bone knife, and lunged at Xiong Zhi to slash her face, her eyes filled with malice.
She's going to ruin this face and see if Lionheart still likes this disfigured sub-beastman!
Xiong Zhi watched with concern as her tribesmen were fighting.
For a moment, they didn't even notice Lionmin's footsteps.
Lin Baiyan frowned slightly and took out a slingshot from his small book bag. It was made of cow tendon and had a good amount of toughness.
He randomly picked up a pebble from the ground, then hid behind Lang Cang and aimed it at Shi Min's leg. The pebble flew out with a whoosh and hit Shi Min's ankle precisely.
He had heard the gist of the matter. The sub-beastman named Xiong Zhi was indeed the one, but it was just a case of a sub-beastman's jealousy. However, the sub-beastman named Shi Min was too vicious. With that one stab, Xiong Zhi was basically disfigured.
At this moment, Shi Min had lost all reason. She was hit by a stone and cried out in pain. Her ankle twisted strangely, and she fell straight down, kneeling in front of Xiong Zhi.
Looking at the figure kneeling at his feet, Xiong Zhi, who had just come to his senses, sneered, "What, you've already gotten your comeuppance so quickly?"
Lioness was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, but she still gripped the bone knife tightly in her hand.
Xiong Zhi, with his sharp eyes, noticed the sharp weapon clutched in her hand. His expression immediately changed, and he stepped forward, stomping on Shi Min's wrist. "What do you want to do?"
Lioness was caught off guard when her wrist was stepped on. She screamed and the bone knife slipped from her hand.
When the two male orcs from the Lion Tribe saw this, they tried to stop them, but were blocked by the orcs from the Bear Tribe.
Xiong Zhi clearly understood Shi Min's intentions at this moment, and a flash of disgust appeared in her eyes. "Disgusting. You should be thinking about how to please your Ming-ge instead of wasting your time."
Lioness screamed, provoked by his gaze, "What do you have to be so proud of? Let me tell you, you won't be able to get a single grain of salt at our trading market this year!"
"What do you mean?" Xiong Zhi's expression changed instantly.
After yelling, Shi Min realized what she had said. A hint of regret flashed in her eyes, which quickly turned into malice as she stabbed Xiong Zhi, "You'll find out later..."
After she finished speaking, she held her ankle and looked at it. Her ankle was twisted to one side, and it looked red and swollen. She screamed, "Aren't you going to come back and help me to find the priest! Do you want me to die from the pain?!"
The two male orcs exchanged glances, a hint of impatience flashing across their eyes. Lionmin usually bullied them because his father was the captain of the hunting team.
He's just a sub-orc, and he doesn't know what's good for him. The Mad Lion Tribe has always respected male orcs, but now they're being bossed around by this sub-orc.
However, since Lioness's father controlled the distribution of food to their team, they couldn't afford to offend him. So they had no choice but to step forward, lift Lioness up, and the group slunk away.
Xiong Zhi stood there, feeling inexplicably uneasy. What exactly did Shi Min mean by what she just said?
The reason why the Mad Lion Tribe was able to squeeze into the top five tribes is because they accidentally acquired a salt mountain. By possessing that small salt mountain, they continuously absorbed various small tribes in the vicinity, and their numbers continued to grow, which is how they successfully became one of the top five tribes.
Before Xiong Zhi's father died, the relationship between the Mad Lion Tribe and their Giant Bear Tribe was quite good.
The old-established Silver Fox and Silver Tiger tribes in the north had long ago joined forces. In order to win over allies, the Mad Lion tribe approached the Giant Bear tribe.
The Lion Tribe owns an entire salt mountain, so the Bear Tribe naturally has no reason to antagonize them, which is why they have occasional exchanges.
However, after the decline of the Giant Bear Tribe, the Mad Lion Tribe never came to their territory again.
It was only when the trade season resumed this year that the Giant Bear Tribe learned that the Mad Lion Tribe and the Fierce Pig Tribe had merged into a Super Hero Tribe.
When Xiong Zhi heard this news, he found it absurd. He had met the chief of the Mad Lion tribe before. The middle-aged male beastman's eyes were full of ambition. Why would he take the initiative to merge with other tribes?
Thinking back to what Shi Min had just said, Xiong Zhi felt uneasy.
"Zhi, what did they mean just now?" The two male beastmen had obviously heard Lionmin's words, and there was some worry in their eyes.
Their tribe had always been on good terms with the Mad Lion tribe, exchanging salt from them for their annual supply. But what Lionmin just said implied…
Xiong Zhi shook his head. He had some bad thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't say them out loud and disturb the peace of his clansmen.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to the clan leader when I get back."
If what he thinks is true, then they probably need to make plans sooner rather than later.
Seeing that there was nothing more to see, Lin Baiyan pulled Lang Cang to leave, but a voice called out to him, "Gentlemen, please wait a moment."
Hearing the voice, Lin Baiyan turned around, blinked innocently, and looked at Xiong Zhi in front of her. "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Thank you for what you did earlier." Xiong Zhi slowly walked up to them, looking at the two beastmen in front of her. The male beastman was tall and imposing, exuding a chilling aura.
The orc had striking features, fair skin, and a slender figure. His originally aloof and striking appearance was softened by his round, cat-like eyes, which softened his cold demeanor and gave him a gentler aura.
Lang Cang remained silent. It was Lin Baiyan who had just made the move. He was cold and aloof, and if it were him, he would never have taken action.
