Chapter 457 Sneak Attack
It was late at night when Quan Guo left. Almost as soon as he stepped out of the tent, the energy he had been holding onto immediately dissipated from his body.
He was actually lying to Lin Baiyan. Using his bloodline power this time would come at a great cost, and the energy he consumed might take several months to recover.
But it's worth it.
His life was saved by the high priest, so anything he did for him was worthwhile.
only……
Thinking of his wife at home, Inugo felt a slight headache. If Saizo found out, it would cause a huge uproar.
With that in mind, Inugo had made up his mind to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Unfortunately, it couldn't be kept secret.
Xi Zhao's eyes were like radar; almost instantly, he shoved the orc into his arms and pressed his hand against the orc's chest, where the heart was beating extremely violently.
Xi Zhao's face immediately turned cold. "What did I tell you?"
Looking at his expression, Quan Guo felt a pang of guilt; he hadn't expected this.
Seeing the orc's state, Xi Zhao couldn't bear to scold him anymore. He bent down and picked the orc up in his arms, letting out a deep sigh. "You'd better stay in the tent and rest for the next few days. If you dare to go out again, watch out!"
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good way to threaten him, so he could only stare at him fiercely, but his eyes were actually red, as if tears could fall from his eyelids at any moment.
Quan Guo quickly agreed, confidently promising, "Don't worry, I'll definitely obey this time!"
Xi Zhao snorted coldly, turned around and left the tent, but returned a moment later and shoved a hot roasted sweet potato into Quan Guo's hand. "Eat!"
Holding a roasted sweet potato, Quan Guo looked gently at the male beastman in front of him, his heart filled with calm. "Xi Zhao, I want them dead."
Xi Zhao didn't quite understand, and frowned. "Who?"
"Anyone who threatens the City of Beasts." And those disgusting perpetrators.
Xi Zhao looked at the coldness in the eyes of the sub-beastman with some curiosity. He leaned forward slightly and placed his arms on either side of Quan Guo. The two were so close that their breathing could be clearly heard. "Quan Guo."
He slowly approached the orc, placed a kiss on his forehead, and sighed with heartache, "You will have everything you want."
The next morning.
Lin Baiyan couldn't wait to find Lang Luo almost at the moment of dawn.
"How did you know?" When he heard the exact location of the Boar Tribe orcs, Wolf Luo couldn't hide his surprise.
He was thinking about speeding up the search yesterday, but today he has the answer.
Lin Baiyan shook his head mysteriously, "You don't need to worry about that."
His tone gradually calmed down, "Now that we know, things will be much easier to discuss."
"Should we send a message to the young clan leader first and wait for them to come together?"
Lin Baiyan shook his head. "By the time they get here, they'll probably all be gone. This operation is going to be a blitzkrieg."
"Let's give them a small gift first."
Hearing this, a dark light flashed in Lang Luo's eyes, and he slightly curled the corners of his lips, "The High Priest is right, they should be given something in return."
As a small gift he gave to the Star Wolf Clan orcs who had already sacrificed themselves.
……
Outside a relatively secluded bamboo grove.
Wolf Luo lay prone on a low-lying grassy area, using the bushes in front of him for cover. He crouched down, staring intently at the movement in front of him.
Not long after, a group of tall, burly male orcs carried buckets of water back to the temporary camp.
"Honestly, we're not slaves of the Boar Tribe, so why does the High Priest listen to that Pig Hui so much?" a short male orc complained in a low voice.
His companion sighed deeply, "What can we do? This operation is ultimately led by the Boar Tribe."
"I've clearly stated that our Mad Lizard tribe is no less capable, so why should we prioritize them?"
"Alright, alright, stop complaining. It's just fetching water. It's better to avoid making trouble."
The footsteps of the male orcs gradually faded into the distance, and the forest returned to peace.
Not far away, Lang Luo, who had witnessed the whole thing, tilted his head slightly. "What do you mean?"
Beside him was Xiong Fei.
Xiong Fei carefully observed the surrounding environment. "Now is not the time. Let's wait until night."
When the night is deep and quiet, that's when they truly shine.
Wolf Luo nodded almost imperceptibly, and the group slowly withdrew from the observation point. A gentle breeze blew through the forest, but left no trace.
"How is it? How many of them are there?" Lin Baiyan, who was waiting at the temporary camp, asked hurriedly after seeing the two return.
Xiong Fei said in a deep voice, "I estimate there are at least four hundred people."
A thoughtful look flashed across Lin Baiyan's eyes. Four hundred people was not a small number, and it was also possible that they might have hidden strengths or other tricks up their sleeves.
Four hundred able-bodied male orcs—that's almost the size of a large tribe in the north.
It seems that the gap in strength between the North and the South is indeed very large.
Fortunately, word got out beforehand and they found out in advance.
"Come here." Lin Baiyan beckoned to the orcs beside him, and then the heads huddled together, whispering and discussing something.
At midnight, a thick darkness enveloped the forest, the moon was hidden behind dark clouds, and the sound of a sharp wind could be heard from time to time.
The orcs from several tribes had just finished their dinner, and now they were all lounging lazily with their bellies bulging, joking and chatting.
"Why do you think we should go to that godforsaken north?"
A male orc beckoned to them mysteriously, "You don't know, do you? We're supposedly going to find something this time."
His words immediately piqued the curiosity of the other orcs, and they all crowded around, asking, "What is it?"
"A fragment of the Holy Crystal!"
His words shocked the surrounding male beastmen. It wasn't the first time they had heard of such a thing, but it had always existed only in legends.
"How can it be?!"
"Why is it impossible? Our tribes are among the top tribes in the south. Besides this thing, what else could possibly warrant our simultaneous participation in the battle!"
"I've heard that these Holy Crystal fragments are incredibly powerful, and that obtaining them will allow one to unify the Orcish continent!"
"Wow! Really?!"
"Of course, then this orc continent will belong to our few tribes. We'll have as many sub-orcs and resources as we want!" The male orc proudly swayed his large belly, his eyes filled with undisguised greed.
They exchanged glances and burst into laughter, completely unaware that danger was lurking nearby.
