Orc Horde Upgrade System

Just as he was listening to the notification that the system swiped the screen, footsteps came from outside the room, stopping at the door of his room, and then Xuan's voice came through the animal skin curtain.

"Meng Yuqing, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, come in."

The animal skin was lifted, and Xuan walked in, holding some clean animal skins in his hand.

"It's cold at night, Yafu asked me to bring you some animal skins."

"Thank you." After receiving the animal skin, Meng Yuqing turned around and began to spread it on the stone bed.

After the pavement was finished, I found that Xuan hadn't left, standing by the stone platform by the wall and looking at the things on the platform.

Meng Yuqing remembered that there were some small wooden toys and some beautiful stones on the stone platform.Probably Xuan played it when he was a child. This room should be his room, but it is temporarily occupied by him.

Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing walked to Xuan's side, and Xuan was looking at the little toys on the stage in a daze.

"Is this your childhood toy?"

"No, it's not." Xuan recovered and denied.

"Then why put it in your room?" Meng Yuqing asked suspiciously.

"This is not my room." Xuan's voice was rare and deep. "This is my brother, An An's room, he is a little sub-beast."

Meng Yuqing was even more puzzled, Xuancai had just come of age, his younger brother should be younger than him, how could the room be vacated for him?And today, I didn't see the little Asian beast at the patriarch's house.

"By the way, Meng Yuqing." Xuan's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Actually, I came to you because I have something to tell you." Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing with a very serious expression.

"Tell me." Seeing him like this, Meng Yu immediately became serious.

"Although Yafu has said it just now, I think I should personally apologize to you."

"Ah?" Meng Yuqing was even more confused, why are you sorry?

"As for the cave where I insisted on hunting shadow beasts and left you alone in the wild, without taking your safety into consideration, I think I should apologize to you personally, and hope you can forgive me."

When Xuan was talking, he kept looking at him very sincerely. It could be seen that even though Qiu Ye and Xia had expressed their apologies for this matter, he still couldn't let it go and wanted to tell him face to face.

"No, no, I really didn't care about this matter, and I never blamed you for anything. You don't have to worry about it. I heard this afternoon that the shadow beasts have brought such great harm to your tribe. Pain, you finally found it, you must not let it go, I can understand, after you killed it, I saw the people of your tribe, although they were sad because of the past, but they were also very happy and carefree , you are the hero of your tribe."

Meng Yuqing hurriedly explained that he didn't expect such a thing, Xuan actually remembered it all the time, obviously they didn't know each other for long, Xuan's sincerity made him unable to resist every time.

Hearing what Meng Yuqing said, Xuan's eyes were a little complicated. He knew that Meng Yuqing had never cared about this matter, but he thought it was his mistake and he had to apologize.

What he didn't even expect was that in Meng Yuqing's mind, his act of hunting shadow beasts could be called a hero.

He stared at Meng Yuqing for a while, then spoke slowly.

"Actually... I must kill it, not just because of the Horde..."

Speaking of this, he stopped, hesitant to speak several times, but Meng Yuqing could feel that he was suppressing something, he wanted to confide in it, but he didn't want to say it to Xia and Qiuye.

"Then would you like to talk to me?"

Meng Yuqing spoke cautiously.

Xuan's eyes drifted away, as if caught in memories.

Next, Meng Yuqing heard what Xuan saw from Xuan's perspective during the attack ten years ago, which was more cruel and heartbreaking than Xia's brief explanation.

It was autumn ten years ago. Every year at this time, the orcs would send most of the orcs to take turns to hunt in autumn. The tribe would only leave one-third of the orcs to guard in turn. The sub-beasts would also take advantage of this harvest season to actively Gather various edible plants to prepare for winter.

At this time, both wild animals and plants are the fattest and most abundant, and the carnivorous beasts can casually hunt fat prey without much fighting power.

They will not list tribes as their attack targets at all. After all, orcs are not easy to mess with, and the easy-to-get sub-beasts and cubs under the age of 10 have little meat and fat, and cannot provide them with enough energy to survive the winter. It is possible to encounter a difficult orc and die.

However, the attack still happened. It happened half a month before winter, when the tribe was preparing for the last autumn hunt. Xia Heyang led two-thirds of the orcs in the tribe to hunt.

Each hunt will take 7 days as a cycle. On the third day of their departure, Xuan and Lie, as usual, followed the adult orcs who taught the little orcs hunting skills on the back mountain plain to learn.

All the little orcs who study here are 4-14 years old. After 14 years old, they basically have a certain self-protection ability, so they leave here to become backup fighters and start learning actual combat with the hunting team.

At noon, Qiu Ye brought food to the back mountain to deliver food to Xuan Helie, but An An stayed at home and asked Chi Ye to take care of her because she was not feeling well.

It was at this time that the vigilant roar of the patrolling orcs came. Xuan, who had been trained for several years, easily understood the meaning of the roar.

There are wild beasts attacking the tribe, there are a lot of them, it is dangerous!

The face of the teaching orcs changed, and they immediately arranged for three orcs to take refuge in a special cave with the little orcs who were training and the sub-beasts who came to deliver food.

The other orcs all transformed and rushed towards the place where the roar of the beasts was loudest.

Qiu Ye took Xuan Helie and followed the orcs to the refuge cave. While waiting, other cubs and sub-beasts were escorted here by the orcs, and then the orcs left immediately and continued to fight.

It's hidden here, and it's hard for beasts to find it, but this time, for some unknown reason, wild beasts came here frequently, but luckily they were solved by the three remaining orcs.

"Ping, are you okay?" one orc called to another.

"I'm more worried about the front. Is there something wrong? Why are there so many wild beasts coming here?" Ping replied while avoiding the wild beast's attack.

"Ping, Tao, be careful! There are too many beasts." The third orc shouted.

As more and more wild beasts came here, there would always be one or two fish that escaped through their defenses and ran towards the cave.

Seeing this situation, the older little orcs in the cave turned into animal shapes one after another, and gathered together to fight with the beasts that broke through the defense, which relieved the pressure on the three adult orcs.

Seeing this, the three adult orcs concentrated on stopping those powerful beasts.

Gradually, the number of beasts rushing here decreased, and just when they thought the attack was about to pass, an orc came running from a distance.

His body was covered with wounds, and his hair was stained with blood, bringing the news ahead.

"Ping, Tao, Shu, there are too many beasts. Greed said to call all the little orcs who have reached the age of 12 to join the battle. He has already sent a plane to find Xia Heyang. We must persist until Xia Heyang leads the orcs back. Only The next two orcs, and other orcs who meet the requirements, follow me."

This is not good news. When the tribe encounters an attack or a catastrophe of genocide, the first to participate in the battle are adult orcs in their prime. The orcs will also be on top, and finally, all the little orcs over the age of 14 will join the battle.

If it is really impossible to survive, some adult orcs, seriously injured orcs who have difficulty moving, and all old orcs will fight each other with their lives, and give the orcs, sub-beasts and cubs who are not seriously injured a chance to escape.

The little orcs who heard the news, as long as they reached the age of 12, they would immediately transform into beast shapes. Their beast shapes vary from big to small. The big ones are only two-thirds the size of adult orcs, and the small ones are less than half their size. .

They are all ready to fight.

Many sub-beasts in the cave watched their children turn into beasts and leave with the adult orcs, and their eyes were red. Even the adult orcs were struggling to resist. How many of these little orcs could survive safely?

Xuan took advantage of Qiu Ye's inattention to change into a beast shape, trying to sneak into the team. He was going to find An An and Uncle Chi Ye. They waited here for so long, and many sub-beasts and little orcs were escorted in on the way, but They didn't wait for An An and Chi Ye for a long time.

Yafu was so anxious that he dug his fingernails into his flesh before he found it. Lie was only 6 years old, and he was the only one who could go out to find them.

But he forgot that he was only 8 years old himself.Although he was bigger than the little orcs of the same age, he was found out by the leader orcs when he was mixed with a group of 12-year-old little orcs.

He was thrown back into the cave.

"8-year-old brat, stay here, it's not your turn to join the battle yet."

After speaking, the leading orc left with Tao and a group of little orcs over 12 years old.

They waited in the cave for a long time, and several sub-beasts and cubs were sent over on the way.

But there was still no sign of An'an and Chiye, especially since several little orcs who participated in the battle were unconscious or were sent back with serious injuries, he was even more worried.

The unconscious little orc's father hugged them and wept silently. They didn't know if their child would wake up one day.

The other little orcs who were injured and sent back licked their wounds while curling up in their Yafu's arms, comforting each other.

As for the little orcs who didn't come back, they may be alive, or they may never have a chance to be sent back.

Xuan still took the opportunity to run out, when 5 more beasts came here.

The little orcs who had reached the age of 10 also turned into beasts, followed by Heping Shu, bared their immature fangs, and confronted the beasts.

Xuan's beast shape is about the same size as a 10-year-old little orc, and it's inconspicuous when mixed in.

Everyone watched the battle nervously. Compared with the huge beast, the 10-year-old little orc was really too small. Ping Heshu fought desperately with the beast.

The little beastmen took advantage of their small size and nimbleness to harass the beasts when the beasts focused on attacking Ping Hejun, and they left with one blow. When the beasts chased them back, they ran away without looking back.The peace beam will take this opportunity to give the beast a fatal attack.

When the third beast was dealt with, Xuan then withdrew from the combat range and took the opportunity to run out.

When the battle was over, all five beasts were killed, and when the little orcs returned to their human form and returned to the cave, Akiba realized that Xuan hadn't come back.

When he found out that Xuan was gone, he almost went crazy. He ran to the entrance of the cave, pulled Shu and cried.

"Xuan didn't come back, he must have gone out to find An An and Chi Ye, please, bring him back, he is only 8 years old."

"Sorry...I can't get out of here."

Shu refused Qiuye's request with great difficulty. He is the only one who is guarding this place peacefully. He cannot let any accident happen here. He has to wait for news here. If necessary, he will be the first to lead the people in the cave to escape here. people.

Qiu Ye understood Shu's meaning, he let go of Shu, and retreated to the cave.As the patriarch's partner, he had already acted disregarding the overall situation by running out to beg Shu to find Xuan just now, and he couldn't do anything embarrassing Shu now.
