Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

At this moment, Long Yan also cast his gaze towards Lin Ziyu, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Lin Ziyu looked at him solemnly and said slowly, "Brother Yan, the Dream Beast just told me that the peaceful scene in the town ahead is an illusion, designed to deceive people."

Long Yan frowned slightly and looked again at the dilapidated house, with only one strangely intact one. He said in a deep voice, "Let's leave here first and come back to check on the situation tomorrow." After that, he pulled Lin Ziyu away.

At this moment, a handsome young man emerged from the town, his furry tail faintly visible. With a hint of allure in his voice, he said leisurely, "Guest, it's getting late. Why don't you come in and rest? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu looked at each other and said, "It's an orc from the fox tribe."

The young man came to Long Yan and the others in the blink of an eye and said, "Dear guests, please..."

Long Yan took a step back cautiously, his hand unconsciously resting on the sword at his waist, and said coldly: "No need, we still have things to do."

The young man chuckled, took a step forward, stared straight at Lin Ziyu, and said softly, "Sir, you look very tired. Will you really not consider my suggestion?"

Lin Ziyu's heart tightened as he felt a faint spiritual force probing him. He immediately used his spiritual power to resist it and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It is indeed inconvenient for us to stay."

Seeing this, the smile on the boy's face gradually disappeared, and his tail began to wag uneasily. He snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid of offending my fox clan?"

Long Yan sneered, "We have no intention of offending the Fox Tribe, but if we have ill intentions, even the Fox Tribe will have to think twice."

The boy's face changed, and he was about to explode when suddenly a melodious flute sound came. After hearing the flute, the boy trembled, gave the two of them a fierce look, turned around and ran back to the town.

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief. Long Yan whispered, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go." After that, the group quickened their pace and moved away from this strange town.

After walking for a while, they came to an open space near the forest. Long Yan saw that Lin Ziyu was very tired and decided to rest here. He said softly, "Ziyu, how about we rest here tonight?"

Lin Ziyu looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered to the Dream Beast, "Go, set up a defensive illusion here." Upon hearing this, the Dream Beast immediately ran happily to the center of the clearing, emitting rays of light from its body. As it moved, strange runes emerged in the air and gradually intertwined into a layer of transparent light shield, covering the entire clearing. However, if someone passed by here, they would see the same as before.

Long Yan arranged for the two to go to the forest to check the situation, and then he and Lin Ziyu walked to a big tree and sat down, and then leaned on Long Yan. Long Yan did not mind, but stretched out a hand and gently patted Lin Ziyu's shoulder, indicating that he could rest assured.

Meanwhile, Long Si and Long Jiu busied themselves, taking out various ingredients and cooking utensils from their storage bags and expertly lighting a fire, washing vegetables, and chopping meat. Soon, waves of enticing aroma wafted into the air.

Long Yi and Long Shen stood at the edge of the clearing, their faces wary, their eyes scanning the surrounding mountains and forests for any danger. Seeing this, the remaining few took out the Soul-Restoring Pills they had brought with them, swallowed them, found a place to sit, closed their eyes, and began practicing their techniques, fully recovering their depleted spiritual energy.

After the meal was ready, Long Si brought the dishes to the table one by one. He placed the dishes steadily in front of Long Yan and Lin Ziyu.

Long Yan nodded slightly, his eyes signaling that he should eat too. He gently reached out his hand, gently rocking the sleeping Lin Ziyu beside him, and whispered, "Ziyu, wake up! It's time to eat something." His tone was as gentle and warm as a spring breeze.

Lin Ziyu was drowsy after being awakened, but he quickly regained his spirits. He rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, looked at the food in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. "Brother Yan, let's eat together."

After dinner, Lin Ziyu suddenly remembered the mysterious flute sound he had heard before. He was filled with curiosity and confusion, and asked Long Yan, "What is the origin of the sudden melodious flute sound? It can actually make that fox boy so fearful!" After saying that, he looked at Long Yan expectantly, hoping to get an answer from him.

However, Long Yan shook his head and answered frankly, "I'm not sure either. The sound of the flute is indeed a little strange, as if it contains some powerful power. But the specific situation requires further investigation to know." Long Yan reached out and touched Lin Ziyu's hair, saying in a gentle tone, "Okay, Ziyu, rest now. We can talk tomorrow if there is anything."

Lin Ziyu smiled and nodded, "Okay..." He leaned in Long Yan's arms, closed his eyes and rested.

The night passed quietly, all in silence, until the eastern sky gradually began to turn pale, and the dawn light penetrated the layers of clouds and sprinkled on the earth. In this peaceful and tranquil moment, a melodious flute sound suddenly came, crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature, instantly shattering the morning tranquility.

Lin Ziyu was awakened by the sound of a flute, and he snapped his eyes open. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a blue robe, holding a jade flute and playing intently, beneath a tall, sturdy tree in the nearby forest. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling onto him, as if draping him in a golden veil. He looked otherworldly, like an immortal descending from the heavens.

At the feet of the man in blue, a fox with nine tails and white fur as white as snow lay quietly, its eyes darting with resentment and murderous intent.

Lin Ziyu slowly stood up and walked over to Long Yan. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yan, look over there...isn't that the fox orc we encountered last night?"

Long Yan nodded slightly. His deep eyes gazed at the fox in the distance, a subtle hint of thought in them. He replied softly, "Yes, that's true."

Before long, the melodious, plaintive flute music gradually faded, and the surroundings returned to a state of tranquility. Long Yan and Lin Ziyu exchanged a silent glance, each seeing a hint of doubt and wariness in the other's gaze. Meanwhile, Long Si and the others stood solemnly behind them, creating a tense atmosphere.

Lin Ziyu instructed the Dream Beast he was wearing to remove the hidden illusion. With a faint flash of light, the illusion vanished. The mysterious man beneath the tree flashed to a nearby location. With a haughty look on his face, he said leisurely, "Haha, you're here after all. The little fox is still quite useful."

Long Yan's expression shifted slightly. His once calm gaze now burned like a flame, fixed on the man in front of him. He took a deep breath, trying to maintain composure. Then, in a polite tone, he asked, "Excuse me, who are you, sir? Why are you here?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, his lips curled up slightly, a disdainful smile forming. He snorted softly and said in a condescending tone, "Haha, who am I? You lowly creatures don't deserve to know! You only need to understand that from today on, you will all become my slaves, at my mercy."

After hearing this, Lin Ziyu, Long Yan, and the others were all shocked. They looked at each other and saw the shock and anger in each other's eyes.

Long Yan narrowed his eyes, coldly looking at the arrogant man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Just because you speak so arrogantly, you still want to make us your slaves? It's simply a foolish dream!"

However, the mysterious man paid no heed to Long Yan's words. He sneered again, and with a ghostly flash, he charged towards Long Yan. Instantly, a powerful aura erupted from him, threatening to tear apart everything around him.

Facing the mysterious man's swift attack, Long Yan didn't dare to be careless. He stomped his feet on the ground, leaped back several steps, and swung his right hand, sending a fierce palm wind whistling out, meeting the oncoming enemy.
