Chapter 443 The Pig Tribe
Chapter 443 The Pig Tribe
Meanwhile, after a brief rest, the legion of the Beast City set off again, continuing towards its predetermined goal. Leopard Nan and Lin Baiyan kept a close eye on the legion's direction of travel to ensure they did not go astray.
As the distance between them and Lang Cang continued to shrink, and after Quan Guo had rested and recovered, he was able to use some of his sensory abilities to detect their vague location. Therefore, the legion's progress had been relatively smooth until now.
Just as the legion was marching, a group of orcs appeared in the desert three days' journey from Lang Cang's temporary camp.
At a cave covered in hay, two thin, withered male orcs stood guard outside, holding pitchforks. Further inside, after entering the cave and passing through winding tunnels, darkness continued to gather, seemingly taking on a tangible form.
Visible grains of sand floated in the air, and on the uneven sand and stones at the cave entrance, traces of insect growth could be faintly seen. Although it was dark and gloomy here, the beastmen living in it were completely unaffected.
Squads of expressionless Boar-Beastmen patrolled through the tunnels. At that moment, in the deepest lair of the cave, a faint firelight flickered, illuminating an old, withered face sitting quietly on a sand bed.
At that moment, a beam of red light pierced through the thick wall and suddenly entered his hand. The old orc opened his eyes abruptly, clenching his palms tightly in disbelief, his withered and thin hands trembling slightly.
This, this is a pig-like light-attracting worm!
He could clearly sense the traces of the pig's violence from the light-attracting worm.
What the hell does this happen? !
Didn't he send Pig Tyrant north to get the Holy Crystal?! How could such a simple task force him to resort to using Lightbringer Bugs?!
For a moment, the old orc seemed unable to accept it, his eyes turning bloodshot. That's right, he was the grandfather of the current Great Elder of the Wild Boar Tribe, Pig So.
Pig Suo tightly gripped the Light-Attracting Worm in his hand. This was a unique technique bestowed upon their Wild Pig tribe by that great man. Since the Light-Attracting Worm was here, then Pig Bao was probably already dead in the north.
He muttered through gritted teeth, "What on earth happened? How could there be orcs in that barren north that even Pig Tyrant couldn't handle?!"
You must know that Pig Violent is the only offspring of his cub. Their Pig Violent Tribe discovered the whereabouts of the Holy Crystal in the north a long time ago, and they have been waiting until now to have Pig Violent personally retrieve the Holy Crystal and hand it over to that person. In this way, Pig Violent will surely gain that person's favor.
He had made ample preparations; for Zhu Bao's trip, he had even asked that person to use the Golden Scorpion Tribe's guard.
Not to mention the northern tribes, he had already investigated them thoroughly, and the Holy Crystal was in that fierce boar tribe!
But now that Zhu Bao is dead, the guard team has probably been wiped out as well.
For a moment, Pig Suo simply couldn't accept the news of Pig Bao's departure.
What exactly happened...?
After a while, Zhu Suo's heaving chest gradually calmed down. He let out a long breath and finally slowly opened his palm. The red light, no longer restrained, suddenly pierced into his heart.
After receiving the memories of the Light-Attracting Worm, Pig-Sorry slowly opened his eyes with a grim face, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. The information brought back by the Light-Attracting Worm was brief: Something has changed in the north, in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Pig-like monster's eyes flashed slightly. The City of Ten Thousand Beasts—where did this tribe come from? He'd never heard of it before!
This unknown, lowly, and impoverished tribe actually dared to kill Pig Tyrant!
He will make them pay the price for their ignorant and foolish behavior!
Piglet suddenly stood up from the sandbed, shouting, "Someone come here!"
The air was unusually quiet, and it seemed that no one was there, but Zhu Suo was giving orders to himself, "Help me inform that sir that Zhu Suo has something to ask to see him."
At this moment, illuminated by the firelight, the shadow beneath Zhu Suo's feet tore apart in an extremely eerie way, separating a small section that, like thick black ink, slowly extended outwards along the sand and stone wall until it finally disappeared.
When this happened, Piglet was not surprised at all. After the shadowy figure left the dark room, he opened the door and said sharply, "Guards!" His voice slowly spread along the sand and stone walls and could be heard throughout the entire cave.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the warriors of the Wild Boar tribe, who were patrolling as usual, all gathered in one direction.
In a short time, all the warriors of the Wild Boar Tribe inside the cave had gathered in front of Pig Suo. "Elder!"
"Go and investigate a tribe called Beast City, which is in the north, towards the Fierce Boar Tribe!" He wanted to see what kind of place this Beast City was.
At the very front of the warriors, a haughty orc, shaped like a small hill, boomed, "Patrol obeys! Rest assured, Elder." He was Pig-Force, the most trusted lieutenant of Pig-Sorceress and the current captain of the hunting party of the Wild Pig Tribe.
Just as Pigsor mobilized the patrol team, in another den within the Boar Tribe's underground burrow, a fat, swollen male orc lay on a bed, holding a thick pig leg in his hand. The pig leg had probably just been torn from its prey, and it was still dripping with blood, making his meal a bloody mess.
Upon hearing this news, Pig-Human suddenly raised his head, his small, almost invisible green eyes gleaming with a sharp light. "Are you telling the truth? Pig-Berserk is really dead?!"
"Of course, young clan leader, I heard that even Pig Violent's Light-Attracting Bugs have returned. With the Light-Attracting Bugs out, he's definitely dead." The little follower looked at Pig Violent with an exceptionally fawning expression.
Zhu Hua threw the pig leg in his hand aside, stood up, walked around in circles twice, and suddenly burst into laughter. "That damned grandfather of Zhu Bao went to great lengths to get him this good job, but it ended up sending him on his way. Even the Beast God doesn't protect him!"
"Yes, yes, congratulations, young patriarch! This is truly a wonderful thing. From now on, no one will be able to compete with you anymore!"
Pig-Human squealed twice, then suddenly changed his tone and coldly rebuked him, "What did you say! He doesn't even deserve to fight me for this! This Wild Pig Tribe should have belonged to my father, and it should be mine in the future! What is he? How dare he oppose me!"
If it weren't for the fact that Pig Suo had some influence with that important person, he wouldn't have a say in the entire Pig Tribe!
He actually dared to dream of letting his bastard offspring inherit the Wild Pig Tribe!
Seeing the displeasure on his face, the lackey quickly slapped his mouth, "I misspoke, I was being mean, I was being mean! This Wild Pig Tribe originally belonged to our chieftain!"
Seeing his submissive and humble demeanor, Zhu Hua finally calmed down and excitedly headed outside, saying, "I must hurry and tell Father this good news!"
