Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 212 Questioning
Cheng Mo looked at the uneasy sheep in front of him, frowned slightly and said: "The high priest of your tribe wanted to sacrifice the females and cubs alive before, but when everyone opposed it, he wanted to starve them to death. So I decided to take them away so that they would no longer be persecuted by your high priest."
After hearing this, Yangyang blushed. After all, no tribe wants others to know about such an ugly thing. However, when Yangyang learned that Cheng Mo was going to take these poor people away, he couldn't help but hesitate. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Benefactor! Where do you want to take them? They are all poor, don't hurt them!"
Cheng Mo looked at Yangyang and asked, "Of course I won't let them starve to death when I take them back. But why did your tribe allow the high priest to do this?"
Yangyang was stunned for a while, then he stumbled to explain: "That, that's the high priest! He is the one who can communicate with the beast god, why can't we listen?"
Cheng Mo then remembered that, except for the City of Qiming, other tribes blindly believed in the high priests and clan leaders in the tribe. Even Banmu was expelled from the tribe because the clan leader and the high priest angered the Beast God. But no one knew how they angered the Beast God or how they knew that the Beast God was angry about it. The clan leader and the high priest could decide the lives of the orcs in a tribe with just a word. This was the power of the clan leader and the high priest. The orcs had no systematic education, and all their life knowledge was learned from the previous generation of orcs. Blindly believing in the guidance of the tribal leaders was one of them.
Before, Cheng Mo was annoyed by the condition of the females and cubs here, and only wanted to blame the orcs in their tribe for over-trusting the high priest of the goat tribe and allowing those females and cubs to be tortured like this! Now that I think about it, it was already good that these people could oppose the high priest's living sacrifice, and don't expect anything else.
"We are here!" At this moment, the orc who had left before ran over with two dying cubs in his hands. Behind him was a group of female orcs supporting each other.
"Are they all here?" Cheng Mo asked with a frown as he looked at the few people standing sparsely not far away.
"Ah..." The orc nodded embarrassedly, looked at Cheng Mo cautiously and said, "They are all willing to leave. The others... they said they don't want to trouble you, so..."
Cheng Mo nodded, and did not force those who did not want to leave. His eyes fell on the two pitiful little guys in his arms, and his brows were furrowed. He gently stroked the bodies of the two cubs, feeling their weak breathing and cold skin. The two little guys were obviously very weak, and the fire of life seemed to be extinguished at any time. Cheng Mo was distressed and whispered: "Good children, you will have food to eat every day in the future."
The two cubs opened their eyes weakly, looked at Cheng Mo with difficulty, and then slowly closed their eyes. Crystal tears hung in the corners of their eyes, as if they were telling of endless pain and grievances. Cheng Mo felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that these children had experienced too much suffering, and they would definitely be fine in the future!
"You should choose someone who can take charge of the situation as soon as possible." Cheng Mo turned his head and looked at Yang Yang and others and said.
"Ah?" Yangyang and others looked at Cheng Mo in confusion.
"Your high priest is dead. He was bewitched by evil forces and eventually suffered backlash." Cheng Mo didn't want to explain too much and simply used the backlash of evil forces to explain the death of the high priest.
"What?!" The orcs around who heard it were horrified.
"Impossible! Our high priest was fine before you came! How could he suddenly die?!" Some orcs glared at Cheng Mo in disbelief.
"Yes! Did you kill our high priest?" The orcs looked at Cheng Mo and the others with gritted teeth.
"Hey! Stop arguing! They are the masters of Qiming City! There is no way they would kill the high priest!" The orcs who knew Cheng Mo's identity quickly stood up and shouted to the angry orcs.
"What?! They are the masters of Qiming City?!" The angry orc looked at Cheng Mo and the others in disbelief.
"I said that this rainfall was caused by the City of Enlightenment?! Maybe they came here to kill our high priest after hearing the revelation from the God of Beasts that our high priest received! Saving the sheep was also your plan, right?! Did you take away the females and cubs of our tribe in order to sacrifice them alive?!" an orc said uneasily.
"Ha! Ignorant!" Cheng Mo looked coldly at the orc who said this. The orc couldn't help but hide behind others when he was looked at. He didn't know why, even though Cheng Mo was just a female orc, he always felt that Cheng Mo's aura was more frightening than that of the high priest.
"No, no! You can't leave! You must give us an explanation!" An orc with red eyes looked at Cheng Mo and Ban Mu greedily.
"The explanation is what I just said!" Cheng Mo didn't even look at the orcs with red eyes. He turned back to Yangyang and said, "Whether you believe it or not, those guys with red eyes in your tribe have also been bewitched by evil forces. I advise you to take care of yourself."
"Ah?" Yangyang turned his head and looked at the group of tribesmen with red eyes in confusion. They were clearly familiar faces, but when he saw the greedy expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"I, I, I..." Yangyang couldn't help but look for help at the orc who knew Cheng Mo's identity.
"Alas..." The orc sighed, looked at the tribesmen around him and cursed: "They are such a big city of Enlightenment, are they really going to plot against our tribe for a high priest? All of us combined cannot beat them, are they really going to deliberately plan for a sheep to fall into the water and then rescue the sheep and send it back? What are they trying to do? Are they trying to get our tribe to be small? Are they trying to get our tribe to not have enough food?!"
Looking at the tribesmen around him who lowered their heads guiltily, the orc sighed deeply, bent down to Cheng Mo and said, "I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, my people have been deceived. They just said those words because they were dizzy. Please don't mind it."
"Then...did the high priest really die from the backlash of evil forces?" one of the orcs asked cautiously.
"Of course, we saw it with our own eyes." Cheng Mo nodded.
"But... why is this happening?" an orc muttered to himself.
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Cheng Mo said, "But no matter what, the most important thing now is to elect a new leader as soon as possible to lead you out of the predicament."
