Chapter 486 Burn it
Lizard Beng walked up to the group of orcs in a few steps. Looking at those familiar faces, he could hardly control his emotions. "Why aren't you staying in your tribe? What are you doing here in the Dark Forest? Don't you know this is where the adults live?!"
Xi Beng's ominous premonition grew stronger, and his voice trembled slightly, "What exactly happened?"
Lizard An, Lizard Beng's confidant, saw him as if he were a savior, "Great Shaman, you've finally returned!"
Xi'an explained the reason for their presence in just a few words, and then Xi Beng's wrinkled face turned ashen.
Lizard's Shore finally snapped out of his excitement at seeing his pillar of support. He felt uneasy and realized that something was wrong.
Weren't the high priest and his companions ordered to go north? How did they suddenly appear in the Dark Forest?
Lizard Shore glanced cautiously at Lizard Collapse. "Great Shaman, should I not have led the tribe this way..." After all, the Great Shaman had warned them to stay far away from this Black Forest, but he had no other choice.
Lizard Beng waved his hand dismissively. Who cared about that now?!
The most troublesome thing right now is this inexplicable City of Ten Thousand Beasts!
"We underestimated this City of Ten Thousand Beasts from the very beginning!" Lizard Beng slammed his fist into a large tree at the entrance to the Dark Forest, his face grave.
"Did you see the orc leading the group clearly?!" Lizard Beng turned to look at Lizard Shore.
Lizard Shore remained silent for a moment, racking his brains to recall the situation at the time. Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Great Shaman, it was the Star Wolf Clan!"
As soon as Lizard Shore finished speaking, Lizard Beng and Pig Suo's expressions changed drastically. "What did you say?!"
Lizard Beng strode up to him, his gaze fixed on Lizard Shore's face. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Lizard Shore nodded vigorously. "Great Shaman, I remember it clearly. Besides the tiger-beastman, there was also a gray-white giant wolf leading the way!"
The giant wolf was light gray all over, but there was a particularly conspicuous dark gray stripe on its forehead. The feature was exactly the same as the orcs of the Star Wolf tribe that they had killed more than two years ago!
He only felt that it looked familiar at the time, but he was too busy escaping to think about it carefully. Now, after being reminded by Xi Beng, Xi An almost instantly thought of the Star Wolf Tribe from back then!
After all, the features are just too similar!
“Repeat everything that happened after you met him to me in great detail.” Lizard Beng spun around twice and grabbed Lizard Shore’s arm.
After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. The sounds from Lizard Shore had long since ceased, and the two orcs, Lizard Collapse and Pig So, stood in place, seemingly lost in thought.
At this moment, Lizard Beng, his face dark, suddenly spoke up, "It seems that this so-called City of Ten Thousand Beasts has a close relationship with the Star Wolf Tribe."
"We shouldn't have let those fleeing orcs go. We should have chased after them and killed them all!"
Pigs' eyes were filled with regret. If they hadn't been in such a hurry to return to the south, but instead stayed on the grassland to kill all the remaining Star Wolf tribe orcs who had escaped, would Pig Tyrant have survived in the north?
Lizard's expression wasn't much better. "Who knew they'd be so lucky? They were beaten to a pulp, yet they could still get back up!"
"They've even joined forces with the City of Ten Thousand Beasts!"
"No, since they are orcs from the Star Wolf Tribe, we must tell Lord Shadow God about this!"
The orcs of the Star Wolf tribe know all their secrets!
Now that they've joined forces with the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, if they continue to sit idly by and wait for their doom, they'll be finished sooner or later!
"But the master is currently in a deep sleep, and none of us have been able to wake him." Pigsy glared at Lizard Beng, clearly unaware of the gravity of the situation!
But what could he do if Lord Shadow God didn't wake up?!
He stopped abruptly as soon as he finished speaking, then looked up sharply and met the gaze of the enigmatic Xi Beng.
No, there's one last way!
Dark Forest!
This dark forest wasn't always like this; it wasn't a gloomy and terrifying place, just an ordinary pine forest. But one day, for some unknown reason, the interior of this pine forest suddenly became covered with black thorns. The thorns grew higher and higher, twisting and turning to form the thorn forest we see today.
There was a rumor that this forest was rich in food, which attracted countless beastmen who wanted to go into the forest, but without exception, they all died here.
This pine forest has thus become the Dark Forest we know today.
The other ignorant orcs considered this place an ominous place, but only the leaders of the three tribes and Chief David of the Golden Scorpion Guard knew that it was merely a scheme by the Shadow God to prevent other orcs from approaching this place.
In other words, the dark thorns inside the pine forest are a manifestation of a portion of the Shadow God's power.
If they want to awaken the Shadow God now, they can only do so from this angle, but after they do so, the Shadow God's power will also be damaged.
Zhu Suo hesitated for a moment, "If we do that, won't the master blame us?" They couldn't bear the master's wrath.
Lizard Beng snorted coldly, "Now that our lives are in danger, why bother with all that? At worst, we'll just have to ask the adults for punishment later."
"You'd better think this through. The fragment of the Holy Crystal that Pig Tyrant didn't get back is now in the hands of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. The Star Wolf Tribe knows how to use the power of the Holy Crystal!"
"Besides, even if the adults really blame us, if we can snatch that Holy Crystal fragment from the Beast City, wouldn't that be considered a meritorious deed?" Lizard Beng's words struck hard against Pig Suo's psychological defenses.
Then he delivered the fatal blow, "Wasn't your heir killed by the City of Ten Thousand Beasts? Now that you have such a good opportunity for revenge, what are you still hesitating for!"
Piglet's hesitant expression gradually subsided, and he calmly looked at Lizard Beng, "You're right, we have no other choice."
Having received his affirmative reply, Xi Beng smiled with satisfaction. It was good that he had agreed; since he had agreed, he hadn't acted on his own initiative.
Lizard Shore looked on, completely bewildered, at the two elderly orcs speaking in tacit agreement. "Great Shaman, what should we do now?"
Lizard Beng glanced at him dismissively and uttered a single word, "Burn!"
"Huh?!" Xi'an asked, somewhat bewildered. "Where should we burn it?"
Lizard Beng turned around and looked at the towering pine forest. "Burn this entire forest, starting from the outer edge!"
"Why?! We might not even be able to escape from such a huge fire!" Xi'an was a little scared. Had their high priest gone mad?
Lizard Beng glared at him. "Why are you asking so many questions? I'll burn it when you tell me to. Don't worry, I'm not a stupid beast! I'm alive and well!"
Seeing Lizard's expression, Lizard An, despite having a hundred questions in his heart, dared not show them and could only obediently reply, "Yes, Great Shaman!"
He turned around and went down to instruct the beastmen of the lizard tribe to start a fire.
