The next day after the rain stopped, Ye Xing ordered Bao Mi and the others to pack up their supplies and prepare for migration.

Just in case, she would personally escort him for a distance.

Yingyu and the others wanted to follow Ye Xing to look for tiger cotton, but she refused.

She originally thought that they were slow and weak and might delay her journey, but when she saw their sincere eyes, she changed her words to: For safety's sake, the tribe needs to conserve its strength.

The expressions of the others were normal, except Hu Qing, who looked extremely gloomy and walked at the front of the team without saying a word.

Ye Xing understood that the disappearance of Fox Qiwawa was a big blow to him, but she had never been able to comfort others, so she just shook her head and let him go.

This kind of thing takes time to heal, and letting him figure it out himself is more effective than having others persuade him a hundred times.

She patted Hu Qing's shoulder, silently comforting him, and deliberately took a few steps behind, wanting to leave him alone.

The group of more than twenty people, two horses, and a small amount of supplies did not move fast and it took them a while to get out of the tribe.

Seeing that there were wounded soldiers in the team, Ye Xing immediately ordered them to rest temporarily.

Everyone sat together in groups of three or four. Some talked in low voices, while more kept their heads down in silence. The whole atmosphere was a little depressing.

Hu Qing sat directly on the ground, resting his elbows on his legs, staring blankly at the ground in front of him.

Suddenly, he saw something on the ground, and his eyes narrowed suddenly -

It had rained on the ground, and a few strands of black hair were soaked in the mud, with only half of them sticking out. If one had not sat down with a good view, they would have been quickly covered by the mud and no trace would have been visible.

Hu Qing's pupils constricted, he held his breath, pretended to accidentally brush off the dirt on his knees, and pulled out the few hairs.

No one could see that at this moment, Hu Qing's eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, and after flashing repeatedly several times, they barely returned to normal.

He had seen this black hair countless times and would definitely not make a mistake - it was the body of a black tiger.

This is the hair that fell off a black tiger.

Tiger Tribe!

Hu Qing's heart was shaken...

"Hu Qing, are you okay?"

Ye Xing's voice came from behind.

"...It's okay! I'm fine!" Hu Qing clenched his fists and answered without raising his head.

Ye Xing just noticed that there was something wrong with Hu Qing's aura, so he came over to ask because he was worried.

At this moment, he found that Hu Qing had returned to his original depressed mood. He thought that maybe he was overthinking it!

"We will separate after walking a little further. The rest of the journey depends on your own efforts. You and Bao Mi are the strongest fighting force, so you need to pay more attention." Ye Xing said.

"...Your Highness, do you really not need us to go with you?" Hu Qing stood up suddenly, looking down at Ye Xing, with an inexplicable hint of coercion in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Ye Xing was completely unmoved. He just shook his head and sighed: "Everything is unpredictable on this journey. You don't have to waste your time and energy."

"Just think of it as a retreat to practice! Strong force and sufficient wisdom are the foundation for survival in the world of beasts!"

After saying this, Ye Xing turned around and waved to signal everyone to get on the road, without noticing the gloom in Hu Qing's eyes.

Tiger Tribe

In the dim cave, the sound of dripping water hitting the stone nest with an echo sounded quiet and eerie.

The cave is not big and can be seen entirely at a glance. In the innermost and darkest corner, a person is lying down.

Naked body, gasping in pain.

He struggled to crawl towards the stone nest, stretched his neck forward, and finally drank a sip of water after using all his strength.

Unfortunately, he soon ran out of strength and fell to the ground again with a thump.

There were a few narrow holes on the top of the cave, through which a few rays of light passed, barely illuminating the area around the stone nest.

Through this little light, you can vaguely see the man's still young face and the blood clotted on both sides of his thin shoulders.

A slow sound of footsteps was heard, and the "patter patter" was more annoying than the sound of dripping water.

Someone is coming in!

The man walked up to him, put down the jar in his hand, and said in a pleading voice: "Humian, I'm sorry!"

Hu Mian lay down, raised his eyelids and looked at the person in front of him, with a look of complete indifference on his young face.

"Fox Qiwa, you make me feel sick."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Fox Qiwawa's fingers trembled violently and tears fell down.

She didn't wipe them with her hands, letting the tears fall on her hands like beads.

After a long while, she sniffed, pushed the can forward, and pleaded in a low voice: "Humian, here is some broth, please drink some!"

Hu Mian was unmoved and asked the same question he had repeated countless times: "Why did you hurt me?"

"...I, I didn't mean to hurt you!" Fox Qiwa said hurriedly.

"Then what is this?" Hu Mian suddenly straightened up and asked loudly, his body shaking violently due to the exertion.

Especially the wounds on both sides of the shoulders, which were bleeding a little because of excessive force.

There, two animal bones as thick as thumbs were nailed into the body. No one knew how deep they were penetrated. Blood gushed out at the slightest movement.

Hu Qiwa cried out, wanting to touch but not daring to. Finally, he sat down in vain, hugged his knees with his hands, and said in a hoarse and dull voice: "Hu Mian, I'm sorry! I didn't expect the tribe leader to pierce your scapula!"

"He clearly promised me to treat you well!"

"...Oh, is that so? Then tell me, how did he know that sealing my scapula would make me powerless to resist?"

When Hu Mian woke up, he found himself lying in a cave, with a bone nailed into each side of his scapula. The slightest movement caused him excruciating pain.

Ye Xing had specifically taught them the lethality of this position, and it was very useful when facing enemies and beasts. He didn't expect that he would taste the pain first.

Other orcs will never understand!

"Why? Tell me!" Hu Mian asked breathlessly.

Fox Qiwa cried enough, wiped away her tears, and then whispered: "I am originally a female from the Tiger Tribe. My father died in the hunting battle, leaving only my mother and I alone. My father is old and will be abandoned by the tribe during the winter. I couldn't watch my father freeze to death in the snow, so I desperately begged the tribe leader to save my father."

"The clan leader finally agreed. In exchange... he wanted me to escape into the forest and look for Ye Xing."

"...There are many people like me, including females and disabled orcs. No one can resist the chief. We just want to survive!"

"Everyone is forced to flee. Whoever can see Ye Xing alive will be halfway to success!"

"...What does he want you to do?" Hu Mian tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart.

He didn't know how many "Fox Seventh Child" there were in the tribe. Would Ye Xing be in danger?

"Chief, order us to record Ye Xing's words and deeds. Everything she says and does must be recorded without any mistakes!"

"Especially, what she taught you to learn!"

"...You passed your martial arts skills to Hu Changlei!" Hu Mian's face turned pale and his heart was cold.

"Yes! I wrote down all the internal skills, external martial arts techniques, including the use of weapons and traps, and even those words, and handed them over to the clan leader!" Fox Qiwawa was determined to go all out and face Hu Mian head-on.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

Hu Mian used all his strength to slap Hu Qiwa in the face.

Fox Qiwawa was beaten to the ground and half of his cheek swelled up in an instant.

But Hu Mian had also used up all his strength. He suddenly fell down, his chest heaving violently and a roar coming from his throat.

Hu Changlei wants to get Ye Xing's martial arts? Will he be able to master those skills?

Does Ye Xing know?

Will she know?

Ye Xing!

Ye Xing!
