Chapter 235 Guardian
When the sun sets again, the hunting team returns to the remote mountain tribe with the last ray of sunset.
Together with several orcs, the team leader sent today's prey to the tribe's leader, and then took their share of the prey and walked toward the city wall tiredly but feigning energy.
However, before they got close to their residence, they heard a dispute in the distance.
The orcs who were traveling with them looked at each other, and without further ado, they ran towards their residence in unison.
The closer they get, the more uneasy everyone feels.
The male's dissatisfied protests, the female's sad sobs, and even the scared whimpering of the cubs.
Finally, when they arrived at their residence, they saw everything in front of them clearly.
Their residence has been surrounded by the orcs who were supposed to be their new companions.
The companions who had returned from an outing with them were protecting the old beast, the female and the cubs behind them, bearing injuries all over their bodies.
The leader took a few orcs around him and took advantage of the attention of the surrounding orcs to be inside the wooden fence. He crossed over in a few steps and returned to his companions.
Handing the meager prey in his hands to an older female, he gently asked her to make some dinner for the cubs. The leader turned around and looked at the orcs outside with a stern face.
“I don’t know what mistake the old beast and the females have made. Everyone wants to surround our residence?!”
The leader didn’t know it at this time, which made him dizzy. Yes, still behind.
The orc who was being questioned sneered when he heard this.
"What mistake did you make? Of course it was your kid who scared Zhi Ya!"
Seeing that the leader was puzzled, the orc did not explain, but continued: "Scared You Zhiya bastard still doesn’t know his fault, but he still wants to ‘ask for justice’. What kind of justice does a group of weak people want?”
“Since you males are back, take good care of your females and old beasts. , just stay where you are, and don’t come out and collide with other orcs!”
After that, regardless of the faces of the leader and other males, the orc greeted the other orcs and left.
Without the outsiders who were supposed to be companions, the leader and the other orcs who had just returned finally had the opportunity to ask what happened.
Just by asking this question, the leader and the other orcs' eyes were filled with tears!
Those orcs actually dared to attack the bastard!
Still cruel!
Just because the two cubs accidentally collided with Zhiya cub!
The leader did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly rushed into the wooden house where the two cubs were now.
The moment the leader entered the wooden house, a female who was lying on the edge of the wooden bed crying finally raised her head and looked at the leader with blood-red eyes.
"Amo, is our cub leaving us?"
The hoarse voice proved that the female must have been crying for a long time.
But the leader, known as "Amo", was paying more attention to the wooden bed at this time.
There is a male cub lying on the wooden bed. That is his little stone!
His feet seemed to be filled with lead, and Qiu Mo moved with difficulty.
Finally reaching the edge of the wooden bed, Qiu Mo hugged his partner Qiu Hua tightly into his arms, but his eyes were always on the little boy on the bed.
Flowerboy's father also came in, and was also silently comforting his partner.
Unlike Qiu Mo’s repression and forbearance, the teeth of Hua Hua Zai’s father beast Saito creaked.
After looking at the lifeless cub and listening to his partner's sad cries, Saito finally could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
Gently letting go of his partner, Saito rushed out of the wooden house without looking back, and then rushed out of the wooden fence area. When the old beasts outside the wooden house reacted, Saito's figure had disappeared.
"Qiu Mo!" Uncle Li An's voice sounded outside the house, "Saito is out!"
What to do when you go out, there is no need to say more. !
Which father can still hold back his anger when seeing his cub injured like this?
Qiu Mo had actually been patient.
He was the leader elected by everyone after the three tribes joined the distant mountain tribe. Together with the leader of the picking team and Grandpa Li An, he managed their group of people.
Reason told him that for the sake of everyone, he should not only suppress his anger, but also chase Saito back immediately.
But in fact, he can't do it!
Not only did he not want to chase Saito back, he even had the urge to rush out regardless.
I want to give those so-called companions who are inferior to the original beasts a good beating!
Li An outside the house saw Qiu Mo silent and wanted to say something else.
But before the words were spoken, the male standing nearby, who had returned with Saito and Qiu Mo, also rushed out of the wooden fence range!
"You guys, come back!"
The old and muddy voice was blown away by the evening wind, and finally disappeared within the wooden fence.
Li An seemed to have aged several years instantly, and his back was bent a lot unconsciously.
Seeing this, the old guy on the side stepped forward and patted Li An on the shoulder.
"Brother, we are getting old and we will not live long, but the boys still have a long time. If they are too depressed all the time, how long can they last?"
One sentence The words that Lian quickly spoke were swallowed back in his stomach.
Yes, he has lived for more than two hundred years, how many more years is left?
As I get older, I unconsciously seek stability in everything.
For the sake of stability, these old guys are willing to endure all kinds of hardships. As long as they can survive, there seems to be nothing wrong with them.
But what about the boys?
They have only lived for a few decades, or even a few years. What right does he have to let them live the same miserable life as himself?
They still have a long life, they should be aggressive and bloody, and dare to fight for their families and companions!
After thinking about it, Li An felt that the thick breath stuck in his chest had dissipated.
Looking at the remaining male, he gave the order calmly.
"All the young and strong males gathered in the yard, guard the wooden house, and be vigilant at all times!"
After that, he called a few old beasts of the same age as him, and headed towards him together. He walked towards the wooden house, stumbling, but walking very firmly step by step!
After a while, Qiu Mo came out.
After a while, followed by a dozen young orcs, he left the wooden fence and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Surrounded by the wooden fence are thin bodies.
But at this moment, these thin bodies no longer have the fatigue and haggardness of the past.
The eyes of all the orcs are shining with the light of hope!
No matter what the outcome is today, they at least fought for their children and themselves!
They are orcs of flesh and blood!
The big deal is that they leave this cage and are unwilling to truly accept them!
Even if they return to their former station, they will live a very difficult life and encounter many dangers. At least, they are free and feel comfortable.
No one needed to say anything, but everyone thought of one thing.
Behind a long row of young and strong males, smoke has risen, making the protection at this moment more meaningful.
