Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"We will definitely go find Jin Jue. Right now, we can't. The spy hasn't been caught yet, so it's always a hidden danger. Besides, our families are here, so how can we arrange to go together? It's snowy season now, so we males can still reach the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe safely, but what about the females and the little beasts?"

"Jin Qi, if an internal war breaks out, our family will still be affected. We are short of food and medicine, and we can't hold out for a few more days. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, we might as well fight to the death. Our safe arrival is the blessing of the Beast God. It is better to die on the road than to wait here to die."

"Yes, Jin Qi, I agree with A Le's approach. Let's fight."

"I agree too!" Several orcs said in unison.

Jin Qi fell into deep thought, torn between a rock and a hard place. If he didn't go, he'd be short of food and medicine and have to be wary of spies. If he went, the road would be covered in snow and wind, and people would die before they even got there. How could he have the best of both worlds? Jin Qi's brow furrowed so tightly that it could pinch a fly to death.

"Jin Qi, you and I have been brothers for many years. I understand your concerns. Why don't I take Aji to find the chief of the Myriad Beasts Tribe? With Jin Jue's help, I believe they will be able to rescue our family."

"Jin Qi, Ah Le is right. I am willing to go with him. Remember Lord Chi Yan at the city gate? He is a flying beast and can easily rescue our family."

After hearing what Aji said, everyone suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, if the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe is willing to help us rescue our families, we will be members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe from now on."

"Okay, let's do this. Ah Le, Ah Ji, pretend to go buy food and medicine, report to the city lord, and get at least some crystals. We need them as a gift when we go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe!"

"Hehehe! Jin Qi, you're quite sinister."

"Stop joking and go quickly. Don't show any signs of abnormality. The city lord is very suspicious right now."

"Okay, okay, let's go right away. You tell your family to get ready. Aji and I will go back home and tell them."

"This matter must not be leaked. There are many strange orcs in the city, and they might be spies, so the family members must keep it a secret." Jin Qi repeatedly reminded.

Ah Le and Ah Ji quickly reported the situation to the city lord and successfully obtained some crystals. They each returned home and told their families about their plan.

Late at night, Ale and Aji quietly left the main city and embarked on a journey to the Beast Tribe. Along the way, they carefully avoided other orcs to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

After several days of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. At the entrance of the valley, they were stopped by Heisha and Huida. "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe?"

"We are looking for Master Jin Jue. Please inform him."

"Who are you and what do you want from Jin Jue?"

"My lords, we are from Jin Jue's clan, the White Tiger Orcs, and we are from the main city. We have something important to discuss with him. Please inform him."

"From the main city, the ash is big, light the smoke, and see which clan leader is on duty today."

The curling smoke slowly rose, and it happened that Chi Yan and Jin Jue were on duty on the city wall. They led a team of orcs and quickly rushed to the valley entrance. The males on the city wall all drew their bows and prepared for battle.

"Heisha, Huida, what happened?" The voice came before the Chiyan people arrived.

"Fifth Patriarch, someone has come from the main city, saying they are looking for the Golden Secret."

"Who is looking for me?" Jin Jue jumped over and shook off the snowflakes on his body when he landed.

"Master Jin Jue." Ale Aji shouted happily.

"Ale, Aji, why are you here? Did something happen?"

"Lord Jin Jue, you have to save us!" The two men knelt down immediately.

"Hurry up, we have something to tell the tribe first. Chi Yan, please notify the patriarch and others, we have something to discuss." Jin Jue pulled one in each hand and went to the tribe's meeting hall, and Chi Yan spread his wings and went ahead.

When they arrived at the meeting room, Ale and Aji were dumbfounded. The house was so warm, and there were pots of charcoal fire, red and emitting heat.

"You've had a hard time traveling! First, drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up. Come, come, sit by the brazier. It's hotter."

The old orc, Uncle Gu, looked at the two white tiger beasts kindly and handed them hot water.

"Thank you, uncle!" Ale and Aji said in unison.

"No thanks, they are all good kids."

Ale and Aji felt like crying. Their own parents had never had such a good life. Jin Jue knew that Uncle Gu had hit their weak spot. He consoled them, saying, "We will be a family from now on. Don't be embarrassed. I told you that the people of the Myriad Beast Tribe are really nice."

"Of course! We in the Beast Tribe are simple-minded and everyone is very powerful!" Mona continued.

Ale and Aji had just sat down when they immediately stood up. They saw a beautiful and dignified young female being supported in by two orcs, one on each side, and several more orcs following behind her.

"Ale, Aji, this is the witch. These are the clan leaders behind them. You have seen them when we were trading in the main city." Jin Jue continued to introduce.

"Greetings, Lady Witch, hello, clan leaders." Ale Aji saluted.

After Mona sat down, she asked, "You two have come all the way to my Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. Is there something important?"

In fact, when Chi Yan brought Jin Jue back, he explained the situation in the main city. Mona also knew it well, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Lady witch, clan leaders, please save our family." Ale Aji knelt down in submission.

"Get up first and tell me what you want to say!"

"Yes, Lady Miko." After the two stood up, they looked at each other and Ale spoke.

"Mistress, this is what's happening..." After Ah Le sent Jin Jue away, the tribes were denied access to grain and medicine. After speaking with the city lord, Jin Qi learned that Hui Qiang was a spy and had already undermined Jin Yao's authority as city lord. Strange orcs were gradually infiltrating the main city. Anticipating unrest, Jin Qi requested the help of the Ten Thousand Beast Tribe to rescue his family.

"Hahaha! Jin Yao is so self-righteous. Jin Jue, do you think they should be saved?" Mona asked Jin Jue. She had two intentions: one was to test Jin Jue's loyalty, and the other was to see if Jin Jue knew which people could be saved and which could not.

Upon hearing this, Jin Jue immediately clenched his fist and swore, "Beast God, I, Jin Jue, guarantee with my life that you can be saved. If you dare to betray the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe and the Witch, you will be reduced to a beast for generations to come." Dots of light lit up, and the oath took effect.

"Okay, since you said to rescue them, then we should. You and Ale Aji should estimate how many people there are, including how many elderly orcs, how many females, and how many cubs. Then we can formulate a rescue plan."

"We counted them when we arrived. There are eight families. They were all the ones who used to hunt and defend the city with Master Jin Jue. There are ten old orcs, three females, and two cubs."

"Huh? So few?" Mona looked at Jin Jue. Jin Jue rubbed his head sheepishly. "Only Jin Qi is in a relationship. He has two cubs. None of us are in a relationship. One of the females is A Le's younger sister, A Ya, who's still underage. The other is A Ji's mother. The old beastmen are all our fathers. After our mother died, our father had no place to go. He's lucky he didn't become a stray beast. A few others were injured during the beast tide."
