The days of being forced to abuse scum

Li Chen has always been an activist, since he has decided to save the Qingyuan tribe.He publicly selected [-] strong adult orcs to go back and get ready, and set off with him early tomorrow morning to find people.

Jiejie, as the strongman of the jungle tribe, is also in the team.Originally, Li Chen wanted to leave him to guard the tribe, but after thinking about it, he decided to let Jie go with him.

Since he is looking for someone, Li Chen will definitely leave the team and act alone, because he is the only one in the jungle tribe who can fly.

And when he was away, Jiejie was needed to lead the team as the vice captain.Jie's combat effectiveness is strong, he has leadership skills, and his brain is more flexible to deal with unexpected situations.

As for the important task of guarding the tribe, Li Chen handed it over to Xi.

As the companion of the patriarch, Xi is also an orc.When Li Chen is not around, Xi is the most suitable acting patriarch, and Li Chen also intends to cultivate his ability.

After everyone dispersed, Li Chen took Xi's hand and went home.

Xi kept his head down and kept silent. Li Chen shook his hand, "Why didn't you speak? I blamed me for not discussing with you, so I decided to hand over the tribe to you on my own initiative?"

"Ah?" Xi came back to his senses, recalled what Li Chen said just now, and knew that he had misunderstood, "No, you are usually so busy, and I always want to help you. Besides, you have made arrangements. Besides, I have to pay more attention to the tribe's affairs. It's safe, and you don't have to worry about anything, how can I blame you for such a trivial matter..."

Li Chen suddenly realized, "Then...are you worried about my safety?"

Xi 'hmm' said, "I know you will definitely leave the team and go out to find someone alone, but looking for someone is looking for someone, and you have to pay attention to your own safety. The snow outside is already half a person high, so don't rely on it." I can fly and stay outside, if the wings freeze and fall off, it will be bad..."

Now is the most severe winter season in the Orc Continent, and thick ice and snow cover the entire continent.In some places you can't even see anything but snow.The weather is fine, but if it is snowing, people will freeze into lumps of ice if they stay outside for more than ten minutes.What Xi is most afraid of is that his wings are frozen, unable to fly, and getting lost in the wild.

"Don't worry, I won't risk my life."

"It's good that you have your senses."

Xi's worries were written all over his face, and Li Chen didn't want to be perfunctory.In the evening, he listened carefully to everything Xi explained, and he promised again and again that he would protect himself.

When we set off the next day, the sky was overcast, but fortunately there was no snow.

Li Chen took the big package prepared by Xi and left the tribe with the search team.

After leaving the valley, Li Chen discussed with Jie and the others the time and place to meet up, and then changed into his original form and flew away alone.It took him more than an hour to find the ruins of the Qingyuan tribe.

Li is right, the Qingyuan tribe has been completely destroyed.The leftover remains of the dire beast were taken away by rodents, and the blood was covered by the wind and snow.The huge Qingyuan tribe is quiet and desolate, and there is no trace of living people.

Li Chen went to look at the big cave deep in the tribe, and the things inside were scattered all over the ground in a mess, and there were footprints left by dire beasts on the ground.Li Chen was also not sure whether these people packed up their things hastily and left, or they were eaten by horror beasts.

However, the Qingyuan tribe has a large number of people, so it is unlikely that the entire army will be wiped out.What Li Chen is most worried about now is that the people who escaped brought too little supplies, and they might starve to death or freeze to death in the wild.

His worries were not unreasonable. Judging from the snow outside, at least three to four days had passed since the Qingyuan tribe was attacked.

Li Chen circled around a few times, but found nothing, so he found a clean cave near the Qingyuan Tribe and settled down.

The branches under the heavy snow were all wet, and Li Chen heaved a bundle of dry firewood stored in the cave by the Qingyuan Tribe before he heaved a sigh of relief.

After flying outside for more than three hours, Li Chen was almost numb from the cold.He stretched his wings at the entrance of the cave, and the ice layer on his body fell down with a crisp sound of "click, click".

Li Chen stretched his neck to look, and saw that the edges of some tiny scales on the wings were white with cold, and after shaking off the ice layer, a lot of scales were torn off.

Li Chen licked the place where the scales were bald, and remembering Xi's advice, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He still underestimated the winter in the beastman world.

He usually leaves the tribe to hunt on sunny days, and it doesn't take much time to fly around, so he has never encountered a situation where his wings are frozen.

But now he was cold and hungry, and he didn't care about the scales on his wings.Li Chen turned into a human form, took out his big package and opened it, and saw that except for animal skin and flint, it was wrapped in large pieces of bacon.

Li Chen wrapped the animal skin around his body, lit the fire, and took another piece of bacon to roast and eat.

After eating a full stomach and roasting the fire again, I felt my frozen body warm up a little bit.

Li Chen guessed that Jie and the others would arrive soon, so he added a few thick logs to the fire to ensure that it would not go out, and then he spread his wings and went out to meet Jie and the others.

Jie and the others came here in animal form, and after trekking in the snow for four or five hours, their animal form was frozen.Jay shook his nose and couldn't help but sneezed loudly.

His nose was about to freeze, but he didn't dare stick out his tongue to lick it as usual, lest his nose really freeze off!

Li, who was leading the way, let out a long whistle, and Jie, hearing the excitement in his voice, also let out a low growl, calling for everyone to follow quickly.

It's finally here!

Sure enough, the orcs climbed up a gentle slope, and the ruins of the Qingyuan tribe came into view instantly.

They stared at the messy and desolate tribe under the heavy snow, and they were all silent.Although this is not their home, it is conceivable how many people died in this attack.

A group of twenty orcs stood side by side on a low hillside, and the target was not small.

Seeing their figures, Li Chen hovered down and led them to the cave just now.

Entering the warm cave, everyone seemed to be alive again.

Qi wiped off the ice layer on their bodies, turned into a human form and huddled by the fire and gasped, "Hiss!~ It's so fucking cold! I almost thought I was going to freeze to death in the snow!"

Another orc rubbed his cold feet, "I feel the same way! Ouch, I can't feel my foot anymore, it doesn't seem to be mine anymore!"

"It's so comfortable, I don't even want to go out."

"Me too……"

Li glanced at them, "I think you have hunted too little since winter, so you should go out and practice more!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi and the others all showed shame expressions and dared not say anything more.

Jie smiled and shook his head, then turned to Li Chen and asked, "Li, have you discovered anything? Is there anyone alive in the Qingyuan Tribe?"

"No, the snow is too heavy, and all traces are covered. Hurry up and eat something, and we will go out and look for it before it is dark."

While speaking, Li Chen poked the fire with a branch, and the burning dry wood suddenly came into contact with the fresh air, and there was a crisp "crackling" sound.

There was a reason for Li Chen's urgency. The food everyone brought was limited, and they had to go back after staying for at most three days.

Everyone knew the purpose of coming out this time, but no one really complained.Jie and the others filled their stomachs as promised, and followed Li Chen out to find someone.The ground was completely covered by heavy snow, Li Chen did not fly too high, and kept searching close to the ground.

But they found no useful clues in Tianhe, so they could only rest for a night after eating.

Fearing that the monsters would come back again, they sprinkled a kind of plant juice at the entrance of the cave where they lived, which smelled foul and disgusting.

Qi sniffled, with disgust on his face, "I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere today..."

Li's eyes lit up, "Really? Where is it!"

Jie didn't understand, so, "What's wrong?"

Li explained, "I have a friend who is from the Qingyuan tribe. He told me that the Horror Beast hates the smell of this plant. Since Qi smells this smell, they must be nearby!"

Qi scratched his head, "If I remember correctly, it seems...it's on the cliff."

Li Chen agreed, "Then let's go to the cliff tomorrow to have a look."

"How about I go now..." Li looked anxious, as if he was very worried about his friend.

"No! It's dark now, not to mention the limited vision, and the snow is heavy at night, it's too dangerous!"

Li also understood what Li Chen said made sense, sighed, and stopped insisting on going out.

Before dawn the next day, Li Chen and the others got up, grilled bacon and ate it, and the group went straight to the cliff.

The stench near the cliff hadn't dissipated yet, and the weather was too cold, so the orcs' proud noses didn't work at all.It was Li Chen who flew to the bottom of the cliff and found the cave on the cliff!

Li Chen suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, startling the people of the Qingyuan tribe, thinking that some wild beast had come to attack them.

Li Chen turned into a human form, and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, I'm Li, the patriarch of the Jungle Tribe, are you from the Qingyuan Tribe?"

A tall young orc stood out from the crowd, "Yes, we are survivors of the Qingyuan tribe. My name is Lin, and I am the son of the chief of the Qingyuan tribe."

"Where's your patriarch?"

Lin Hong rolled her eyes and said, "He's dead."

"...I heard that your tribe was attacked by a terrifying beast, so I came here to help you. You..."

Li Chen looked around and found that there were more than 300 people here, [-]% of them were adult orcs, and the rest were women with children.

"Are you willing to go with me to the jungle tribe?"

Lin looked at Li Chen in surprise, and said in disbelief, "You saw it too, we still have more than 300 people. We went to your tribe, and there is not enough food, and your people will starve to death."

No tribe has any surplus food this season.People in their own tribe have to save food, how can they feed outsiders with food?

Li Chen said, "You don't have to worry about this, our tribe still has a lot of food, enough for everyone to eat, otherwise I wouldn't have the confidence to invite you to our tribe."

Hearing this, the people of the Qingyuan tribe became excited.

"Anything like this?"

"Little patriarch, let's go to the jungle tribe and forget it."

"Yu is right, we are almost out of food, if we don't go, we will starve to death!"

"How can the jungle tribe be so good? Is there some conspiracy?"

"No matter what they want, we will die if we don't go!"

"..."

Lin thought for a while and asked Li Chen directly, "Why? What conditions do you have?"

Li Chen smiled gently, "I hope you can join our jungle tribe."

"Just like that? After joining, we will all be your slaves?"

Li Chen hurriedly said, "You have misunderstood. The dense forest tribe is the same as the Qingyuan tribe. Everyone is equal, and they don't engage in slavery and nobles. If you don't believe me, you can go back with me and have a look before you decide whether you want it or not. join us."

Hearing this, the people of the Qingyuan Tribe put down their guard, apparently moved by Li Chen's persuasion.

Lin turned his head to look at everyone and saw that everyone was expecting, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, we will go to the jungle tribe with you."

Li Chen laughed secretly, the orcs are simple and straightforward, why would he deceive them back by beating around the bush, and then lure them to join the tribe with various benefits from the tribe.Although the results are the same, they are not fools, and sooner or later they will figure out the twists and turns.It's better to open up everything and let them choose for themselves.

So he temporarily overturned his original plan, and now it seems that he has succeeded for the most part.
