After listening to Wen Nuan's words, Lianyi said that although this female was a bit delicate, she still had some brains and knew how to protect herself. She also ran away very fast when she found something was wrong.
Just when Wen Nuan was about to continue speaking, Du, Meng and Wei all made a gesture of silence, and Ripple's thick eyebrows raised in heroic spirit, obviously they had discovered new news.
On the cliff are Xiao and other orcs, and the scent they are tracking is interrupted here.
"Xiao, the smell disappeared here!"
"They shouldn't disappear out of thin air."
"Follow these vines and take a look. If my guess is correct, there is a cave in the middle of the cliff."
This is the sound of howling.
He had heard Wei mention it once. Although he had never been here before, he remembered it when he got here.
"Okay, let's go down, and you can help us pay attention to what's going on below."
The two tiger orcs immediately pulled the thick vine (wan) and slowly slid down. The other three people listened carefully with their ears perked up.
Everyone heard the ripples of movement on the edge of the cliff, but what they didn't hear was warmth. She shrank into Wei's arms, and then asked in a low voice:
"Did Xiao chase after me?"
Wei just nodded and did not speak.
Meng and Du looked at each other. They obviously wanted to go out, but were stopped by Ripple. She didn't want to confront the people of the tiger tribe now, so she communicated with plants this time.
The vines that were originally hanging at the entrance of the cave seemed to have received instructions and began to grow rapidly. In a moment, the entrance was completely blocked, and they continued to grow inward, until they stopped completely where they were. Come down.
After the two orcs came down the vines, they found a cave, but unfortunately the entrance was blocked by wildly growing vines. They used their claws to tear off some vines, but unfortunately there were more vines waiting for them inside.
The two looked at each other and felt that the intruder who took away the warmth would not be hiding here. After all, the place was filled with vines. Except for the vines they destroyed, there were no traces of orcs entering anywhere else. .
"Let's take a look further?"
"Okay!"
The two orcs continued downward, but unfortunately they were almost at the bottom and still found nothing.
"Why did they disappear for no reason? Could it be that they couldn't fly?"
One of the orcs complained in a low voice, because the smell had completely disappeared.
"Yue, you are right! Maybe the intruders are bird orcs. If they are them, it will be difficult for us to track them."
"Then let's go up first and tell Howl.”
“Go!”
The two orcs quickly climbed up the vines, and then told Xiao their guesses.
"Are you sure there is no hiding place down there? What about that cave?"
"That cave is filled with vines like this, and there is no gap. If someone goes in, they will definitely tear open the vines. , we found no damaged vines! There is no smell of strange orcs as we continue down."
Leap said directly.
After hearing Yue's words, Xiao's brows furrowed tightly. He always had a bad feeling, and then he said:
"Let's search again along the way we came. Maybe they brought us here on purpose."
Xiao had another guess, and then waved his hand, leading his companions to follow the original path. Go back and maybe find something else before the smell dissipates. After Xiao left, Ripple did not remove the vines, but only made room for the three orcs to rest. This comfortable and warm small cave was naturally used by Ripple and Wenwen.
"We have found a lot of new food. We don't need to hunt for three to five days. The orcs outside have not found warmth and will turn back. You should not go out for the time being."< br>
Lianyi said directly to the three of them.
"Yes!"
The three of them responded in unison.
As expected by Lianyi, after Xiao followed the original path, he still found nothing. He led people back to the cliff without giving up. This time he went down to take a look in person. , there is indeed no trace left by the orcs.
Xiao still refused to give up. He stayed on the cliff for seven days. If Wenwen was really taken away by the orcs, she would need a witch to heal her when she was pregnant with the cub and bleeding so much. He definitely couldn't hide it for long, unless he wanted to kill Nuan Nuan.
Unfortunately, after seven days, they still found nothing. Xiaocai left with Yue and the others, but he looked very bad. They followed the path they followed and continued to look for clues left by Wenwen, hoping to find Wenwen. .
After Xiao and the others left completely, Lianyi removed the vines blocking the cave, and then said to Wen Nuan:
"Originally, I wanted to see the witch from the Tiger Clan right now, but unfortunately your body doesn't allow it. We You have to stay out for at least two months and return to the clan in the last month of the harvest season. At that time, you are eleven months pregnant and about to give birth. As long as we are here, Xiao will not dare to take action against you. "< br>
“Unripe Divine Envoy, please forgive my selfishness. I just want to prove Wei’s innocence, but I don’t want to raise this cub.
After all, I was forced to have him by Xiao. I can't face this cub. He reminds me of the accusations and injustices I suffered.
The cub has been born and grown with these things on his back.
Speaking of which, Nuan Nuan covered her face. She really didn't want to face the birth of this cub.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Lianyi's eyes narrowed and he asked lightly.
"If possible, I would like to give birth to this cub in advance, as long as it proves that he was not conceived by Wei when the accident happened."
Nuan Nuan did not dare to look at Wei's His expression directly expressed his thoughts.
"Your idea is too naive. If Xiao insists that he has confessed to you long ago and is already a partner, the early birth of the child is the best proof."
"But the witch helped me read it. This cub was indeed conceived after I was forced to do so.”
“Don’t forget, Xiao’s father is the clan leader, and the premature child just gives people an excuse to make excuses. If you want to prove Wei's innocence, then don't give the other party any chance to refute.
If you don't want the child, I will take it away and leave the Tiger tribe completely. After all, the affairs between the three of you will be affected. to the growth of the cubs.”
“I didn’t think well. Thank you for the reminder. In order to make up for the mistakes I made, I will do what you said.”
Wen Nuan wiped away the tears on his face, then silently lay back on the animal skin mattress, staring at the top of the cave in a daze, stroking his belly with his hand, and whispered:
"It's the mother beast's fault, I hope you don’t blame the mother beast.”
And Wei looked at Nuan with a complicated face. He didn’t know whether he should persuade the other party not to do this, or persuade himself to put down his prejudices and accept the cub.
Neither Du nor Meng intervened. After all, this was Wei's matter. They were not Wei and it was not convenient for them to give him opinions.
But when Ripple said he would take away the unwanted cub, Meng’s eyes lit up.
After reaching a consensus with Wen Nuan, Lianyi and his party left the territory of the tiger clan and found a secluded place to live after Wen Wen's fetus was stable.
