Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"Everyone, have you heard what the witch said? Hurry up and return to the tribe as soon as possible." Yu announced loudly.

"Uncle Wu, Yu, I have an idea. We're not far from the main city. Let's go check it out!"

"Why are you investigating? Hurry up and go back with them. Yu and I will go investigate. Huiji said that there are about 500 strange orcs entering the main city. It's impossible to know all of them. We can sneak in."

"Uncle Wu! I want to go see it too!"

"Don't make things worse. Yu and I will be back soon. You guys go back to the tribe and wait for news!"

"Okay! Yu, take good care of Uncle Wu." Wu and Yu quickly flew towards the main city. With their familiarity with the terrain, they successfully infiltrated the main city.

The main city was even more lively than they had imagined, with orcs coming and going everywhere. Wu and Yu carefully asked around, trying to get information about the 500 strange orcs.

In a corner, they heard a conversation between two orcs.

"I heard that some powerful characters came this time, and it seems they came from other places."

"Really? What are they doing here?"

"It's unclear, but it's said they brought something precious."

Wu and Yu exchanged a glance, secretly delighted. It seemed they had uncovered some useful clues. They decided to continue searching the main city for more intelligence, hoping to uncover the purpose of these strange orcs.

Meanwhile, Mona, while obediently agreeing, actually ordered and tricked the orcs into visiting various smaller tribes. Their first destination was the Golden Lion Tribe, which wasn't as prosperous as it once was. The vanguard of the previous attack on the Myriad Beasts Tribe consisted entirely of Golden Lions, and they had lost many adult males. Some were also dragged into the main city by the Gray Wolf Tribe, leaving only the elderly, the weak, and the sick. In this cold, snowy season, the desolation was even more apparent!

"Chief, there are orcs visiting. I heard they are from the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe." said a blind golden lion beast.

"What, the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe? It's over, it's over, our tribe is going to be wiped out." The tribe leader turned around anxiously.

"It seems that the patriarch is very self-aware and a wise man. Then tell me everything you know and I won't kill you!" Mona walked into the room with graceful steps.

"Are you a female from the Teng Snake Tribe and a witch from the Wanshou Tribe?" Chief Golden Lion looked Mona up and down carefully.

Mona sat down gracefully and elegantly, letting him examine her without any sign of stage fright. "Hmph, if you know, why don't you just tell me!" Mona's eyes were sharp, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

The Golden Lion Clan leader was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"I'm telling you, it's Gray Qiang, the leader of the Gray Wolf Tribe, who has united with several other tribes to destroy the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. They've invited outside help, and those strange orcs are the outsiders. I heard that the strange orcs also brought beast-attracting powder, which can attract ferocious beasts. They also took away all the females in our tribe, and the rest are the old, weak, and sick. Lady Witch, please save us! I beg you!"

Mona was shocked. She immediately ordered her people to rush back to the tribe and tell the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe the news.

At the same time, Wu and Yu gathered more intelligence in the main city. They discovered that these strange orcs were indeed helpers invited by the Grey Wolf Tribe, and their target was not only the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe, but also other surrounding tribes.

Mona led her people back to the tribe without stopping, and happened to meet the people who had returned from the advancement.

"Brother Ying, are you guys all right? I hope they have no problem advancing!"

"Everything is fine, don't worry! There is abundant spiritual energy there, I will take you there to practice healing techniques tomorrow."

"There's no time left. Let's go to the meeting hall and invite the elders and the two priests."

Mona hurriedly pulled Longying and Wushuang forward, and a group of orcs followed behind, and soon they arrived at the meeting hall.

"Little one, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Let's talk later. I'll drink some water first." Mona picked up the cup on the table and drank it down. After she finished the cup of water, the elders and priests also arrived.

"Everyone, Uncle Wu and Yu were on patrol today and discovered a group of unfamiliar orcs. They were the vanguard sent by the main city to our Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. They committed all kinds of atrocities, killing all the small tribes they passed by. All the females were taken to the main city, and the young and brave males were killed. Some of the less ambitious ones surrendered. The rest were all the old, weak, and sick. The Golden Lion Tribe, once their ally, was also killed."

"The priests calculated that there are still four days left, so they should have set off. Traveling long distances during the snowy season is a major military taboo. We all know that. The one in the main city wouldn't be so stupid."

"I heard from a survivor that around five hundred orcs have entered the main city, and that the city is now under the control of the Gray Strong. They've also sent a dozen or so teams to attack, kill, and rob tribes near the main city. This situation is serious!"

"Of course it's serious. We also discovered that some high-level orcs have entered the city and brought many precious things. We walked around the city several times and didn't find any orcs gathering. Could it be that attacking my tribe is a lie?" Yu and Uncle Wu had already walked into the hall.

"No, I believe the priest. He will definitely attack. Then why aren't the orcs gathering? Are they all flying beasts? That's impossible. No signs of flying beast activities were found in the city." Yu began to doubt himself.

"I see. The Golden Lion Clan leader told me that they have beast-attracting powder, and it can attract ferocious beasts. If that's the case, then it makes sense."

Mona's expression grew grave. "If they use the beast-attracting powder to attract ferocious beasts and then attack us when we're off guard, we'll definitely suffer heavy losses. Remember, we faced ferocious beasts twice, and neither of us gained the upper hand."

Long Ying pondered for a moment, "We must prepare for defense as soon as possible. Notify everyone in the tribe to be on high alert and be ready to respond to enemy attacks at any time."

At this time, an elder stood up and said, "But how can we know which direction they will attack from?"

A sly glint flashed in Mona's eyes. "Hey, that's going to depend on my little trick. I'll have some of my tribesmen pretend to surrender, infiltrate the enemy camp, and learn their plans."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Wu Heyu also volunteered, "We can also use our flying advantage to scout the enemy from the air. For example, the small groups participating in the battle today will be assigned to us. We can quickly eliminate their vanguards and prevent them from getting close to the tribe and taking the opportunity to lure the beast powder. If the group is large, we will report back to everyone."

Long Ying patted their shoulders and said, "Alright, let's do it. Everyone, split up and act accordingly. Those who advanced today, consolidate your skills in the training ground later and improve your strength. We must protect our home!"
