Wow... I never thought Chi Zhuoyan was so patient that he could even endure until his coming-of-age ceremony! Yan Qiling thought to himself.

Anyway, it's pouring rain outside right now, so it's not suitable for escaping. It's okay to gossip a little. Yan Qiling propped up her chin and looked at Yan Po and said, "Endure until he's eighteen? That's not like him..."

"Yes, he was very thin back then, and not as tall as he is now." Grandma Yan looked outside the cave, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light gray mist, and her thoughts were carried away by the wind and rain outside the cave.

"Chi Zhuoyan, your father is back. This time we caught a snow leopard. It's right at the entrance of the tribe. Let's go and take a look..." The speaker was the orc who went hunting with them this time - Gru.

Chi Zhuoyan was a little surprised. The orcs in the tribe disliked their family's low talent and were unwilling to say a word to them. Why did they come to deliver a message today?

Could it be that because his father had helped catch the snow leopard, people no longer looked down on them? Chi Zhuoyan was delighted: "Thank you very much, I'll go now."

The entrance of the tribe was surrounded by orcs, it seemed that the harvest this time was not small.

Chi Zhuoyan excitedly pushed through the crowd and quickly scanned the triumphantly returning orcs, searching for his father among them.

"This time we caught quite a lot! Over thirty blue sheep, twelve bighorn cattle, seven short-tailed martens, and even a snow leopard!"

"Yes, it's a Hades-level snow leopard!" The orcs talked and laughed excitedly.

Chi Zhuoyan glanced at the crowd several times but didn't see his father. He wanted to ask about the orcs who were going with him, but everyone looked away with disgust when they saw him.

Chi Zhuoyan looked at Gru, whose talent was similar to his father's, grabbed him and said, "Uncle Gru, have you seen my father?"

Gru couldn't bear to see his anxious and helpless look, so he pointed towards the pile of prey and said, "Over there..."

Chi Zhuoyan thanked him and ran excitedly in the direction Gru pointed.

Pushing through the crowd, Chi Zhuoyan's smile suddenly froze and he stood there in a daze.

My father did not feel as proud as he had imagined after the comeback. He just curled up in the mud and looked miserable.

The surrounding mud was stained reddish-brown by the blood.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of prey feces violently hit Chi Zhuoyan's nostrils.

"Father... what's going on?!" Chi Zhuoyan rushed over and supported his father. The moment he touched his father's body, he felt his palm go soft and rotten...

The man wanted to turn his head, but his neck was stuck in the mud and he couldn't move at all. He slowly looked at the snow leopard, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he tried to force a smile.

"Snow leopard?" Chi Zhuoyan remembered his father's words before they set out: "Ayan, this time, Dad will definitely catch a snow leopard and bring it back. Let's see who still looks down on us!"

Chi Zhuoyan fought back his tears, wanting to say something to comfort his father, but his throat was tight, and waves of burning pain and astringency in his nose blocked his lips, making him unable to utter a single word...

"His back was broken, but he's not dead yet..."

"Yeah, it's bad luck that we lost a sheep and had to get him back!"

Several orcs nearby cast dissatisfaction and disgusted looks at him.

"You...what did you say!!" Chi Zhuoyan clenched his fists, his eyes were red and burning with anger.

"I say, if your father hadn't held us back, we could have carried back a few more sheep." The orc raised his eyebrows, his tone of understatement filled with undisguised contempt.

Chi Zhuoyan suddenly stood up and swung his fist at the orc.

Before the fist touched his face, his wrist was tightly gripped, and then the orc twisted his hand back, causing the thin boy to hunch over and be unable to move.

"You think you can beat me? You're just a waste with only Sun-level talent, just like your father..." The orc kicked Chi Zhuoyan hard in the back.

Chi Zhuoyan completely lost his balance and staggered to his knees in front of his father, looking extremely embarrassed.

His eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, and he stood up and wanted to go up again.

"A Yan..." A weak call brought Chi Zhuoyan back, and then Chi Zhuoyan only heard a "wow" sound, the man spat out a mouthful of blood, and opened his mouth silently.

"Father, hold on, let's go to the witch doctor's cave..."

"So, he rushed to the witch doctor's cave with his father who was smashed into a pulp, and begged me to heal his father..." The old witch sighed.

"His father couldn't be rescued, so he turned evil?" Yan Qiling also sighed.

"Darkening?"

"I mean, that's why his temperament changed so drastically?" Yan Qiling quickly changed the subject.

"If they didn't do things so drastically next, perhaps Zhuo Yan wouldn't have become like this..." Pity appeared on Yan Po's wrinkled face.

"What did those orcs do?" Yan Qiling wanted to hear the bloody and tearful history of the violent orc.

The tribal warriors go out hunting together. As long as there is a harvest, the orcs who participate in the battle can get food according to their contribution.

"Zhuoyan, your father was worried about you and insisted on leaving for so long just to tell you not to be impulsive because of him. You must live well. You can't make his beast spirit uneasy..." Grandma Yan caught up with the thin boy and said.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will live well." He paused, his tone returned to normal, he thanked her, and left.

If you want to survive, you must fill your stomach first.

Tribal mouth.

: "Why is he here again?"

"Look at his miserable face..."

Several orcs chirped loudly at Chi Zhuoyan without any hesitation.

"My father also contributed to this hunt, so our family should have a share of the spoils."

When he mentioned the three words "our family", Chi Zhuoyan's heart suddenly ached. Now he was the only one left in this family.

"Exerting effort? When you say exerting effort, do you mean that the sneak attack on the snow leopard failed and the neck was broken instead?" Zawassi smiled contemptuously.

"You're talking nonsense! My father clearly contributed to catching the snow leopard!" Chi Zhuoyan tried hard to suppress the anger in his chest.

There were still a few black feathers with red on the snow leopard's sharp claws. Those feathers were the unique color of his father.

Chi Zhuoyan gritted his teeth and looked at Gru: "Uncle Gru, you also participated in the hunt, you saw it, right?"

Gru's natural talents are not high, and his status in the tribe is not much better than that of Chi Zhuoyan's father.

If he were to tell the truth at this moment, he would undoubtedly be an enemy of the orcs in the tribe who hated Chi Zhuoyan's family. His eyes flickered as he said, "I wasn't there at the time, so I didn't see it..."

"Did you hear that? People didn't expose you to your face just to save face for your good-for-nothing father. So you should stop begging here shamelessly..." Zawasi was even more proud when he saw that Gru didn't dare to cause trouble.

"Get out of here! You don't have any chance of getting any of the prey here!"

"His father is such a loser, yet he dares to say he helped..."

"How shameless..." Several orcs followed Zawasi and cheered.
