Chapter 105 Chapter 105
Beast City Power
This time the beast tide was turbulent, and the high-level orc warriors of the Wood Tribe Army Guard deliberately lured away the giant beasts during the battle in order to allow the lower-level orcs to escape, and as a result they were all seriously injured.
Among them, Hu Xiao was the most seriously injured. Shen Nong and Ze each used their abilities to heal him and managed to save his life.
Perhaps the orc's body function activated a protective mechanism, and Hu Xiao was unconscious for two days before waking up. But in order to get the organs that had gone on strike working again, he still needed a good rest.
The other seriously injured orcs of the military guard were all in the medical team's hospitalization department. After enduring the pain of the first two days, they began to feel that they had enough of lying down and wanted to get up and move around. In the end, they were all pressed down on the bed by the medical team and strictly prohibited from getting out of bed and walking around.
Compared to them who wanted to move but couldn't, the other orcs of the Wood Tribe were very busy because of the Autumn Trade Fair.
The most traded items among tribes are pickled meat and animal skins. Salt, which used to be the most popular, is now traded at the bottom. This is because if you eat pickled meat, you don't need to eat salt separately. More importantly, pickled meat can be preserved for a long time and has a good taste. It tastes delicious whether it is stewed or fried.
None of the tribes knew how to pickle meat, so they all brought processed giant beast meat to the market of the Mu tribe to trade for pickled meat, pickled fish and other seafood.
The Mountain Tribe and the Wind Tribe had more meat, and they even traded in condiments like oyster sauce and chili powder.
This time, the orcs from the marginal tribe did not come from far away. Instead, the orcs from the Feather tribe transported the goods between the two parties.
The Stone Tribe brought out several high-quality jadeite and jades, and Shen Nong's infrastructure points, which were already at the bottom, became much richer. Now he could buy more marrow cleansing pills, so that more orcs could cleanse their essence and marrow. This time, the beast tide was restless, and it also exposed the current shortcomings of the Wood Tribe.
There is a serious level gap among the orc warriors. Although the number of orc warriors above level five is the largest among the surrounding tribes, there are also many orc warriors below level five, especially level three.
When the beast tide was turbulent, only orcs above level 6 were truly capable of escaping. Even if the level 4 and 5 orcs had learned fighting skills well, they had no chance of fighting in the face of absolute power.
Even if they had, they didn't have the strength to deliver a fatal blow to the beast. If they didn't seize the hard-won attack opportunity, it would be difficult to wait for the next one.
Moreover, Shen Nong had previously asked Fox Mountain, Langmu and others who came from the Beast City how many orc warriors above level six there were in the Beast City.
Shen Nong felt a little uneasy at the answer from Fox Mountain and the others. The strength of Beast City was even greater than he had imagined.
A level six orc can only be considered an average orc in the Beast City.
The Beast City divides the orcs into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The orc warriors are upper class. The orc warriors are further divided into four levels: level 4 to 5 orc warriors are lower class warriors, level 6 to 7 orc warriors are middle class, level 8 to 9 orc warriors are high class, and level 10 orc warriors are special class.
There are ten hunting teams in the Beast City. The hunting captains of teams one to three are level ten orc warriors, the hunting captains of teams four to eight are level nine orc warriors, and the hunting captains of teams nine to ten are level eight orc warriors.
A hunting team has at least 20 orcs, and all members of the hunting team are level 7 orc warriors. Level 6 orc warriors can only be in the guard team, and they are not qualified to join the hunting team.
There is no patriarch in the Beast City, only the high priest and the high priest's twelve children, whom they call young masters.
And their eldest young master is a divine beast warrior.
Shen Nong knew that Ze was a divine beast warrior and understood how strong divine beast warriors were. Hu Xiao was an eighth-level orc warrior, and he also knew how powerful an eighth-level orc warrior meant. Not to mention the ninth and tenth levels.
It would be fine if Beast City didn't notice them, but the problem now is that Beast City noticed them.
When they first caught the orcs from Beast City, they said that an orc named She Lin brought them here. Shen Nong knew that She Lin had escaped, but he didn't expect that he ran to Beast City. He didn't know how to make the Ninth Young Master of Beast City believe him and trick him into coming to the Mu Tribe to enter Beast City.
He caused the destruction of the Salt Department, and Shelin would not say anything good about him in front of the Ninth Young Master. If he really went, he didn't know if he would come back alive.
In any case, improving the military strength of the Wood Tribe is the top priority. If a conflict occurs, even if we cannot win, it would be good to be able to escape with our lives.
——
The autumn trading market was open for three days and then closed, and the priests and patriarchs of the Vine Tribe were also locked up for many days.
The orcs of the Vine Tribe did not dare to get too close to the Wood Tribe, and they were wandering around the Wood Tribe all day long.
It just so happens that Shen Nong has just finished the busy autumn market trading period, and he also wants to solve this matter quickly. Otherwise, he will be locked up like this forever, and he will have to eat, live and drink at his Mu tribe's expense.
Although what he gave was of poor quality, this man wanted the orcs of the Mu tribe to die. Shen Nong felt it was not worth it even if he gave them an extra sip of water.
Because Mao Teng was a level 5 orc warrior and ordinary orc guards could not keep an eye on him, the two were directly locked up in the empty dormitory of the military guard.
When Shen Nong entered, he saw that there were people sitting in two corners, one on the left and one on the right, in the empty room.
The noise of the door opening naturally attracted the attention of the two men. They thought that it was the orcs from the Mu tribe who came to bring them food. When they looked up, they found that it was the young priest from the Mu tribe.
The beastman who came with Shen Nong put the chair on the ground. Shen Nong leaned back on the chair, resting his elbows on the side armrests and supporting his head with his hands. He looked directly at Teng Mu who was sitting on the ground with his body hunched over on his left, "The beast tide suddenly became agitated. Was it you who caused it?"
Fujiki did not argue, although he had thought about denying it directly when he was first arrested, and he had thought of countless excuses in his mind. However, he had not seen anyone come to question him for several days, and he could not go out. No matter how many excuses he had in his mind, they were completely forgotten by his anxiety and were useless.
What's more, the Wood Tribe priest obviously knew that he was the one who did it. If he didn't admit it, the other party would definitely find a way to make him admit it. It would be better to just accept it and save himself from suffering later.
"So what if I did it?" Fujimu stared at Shen Nong with a look of deep resentment in his eyes. "I just didn't expect that the giant beasts were no match for you."
"Although my people have no casualties, you really want to harm us." Shen Nong didn't want to waste his breath and said bluntly: "I won't let this matter go so lightly, but I'm not an unreasonable person. I have a word for the old priest, give him a taste of his own medicine.
The meaning of this is very simple, I will use your method to control you. The beast tide has passed, so I can't throw the orcs from your vine tribe into it, but the beast tide happens every year. Everyone has their own responsibility for their own actions. I won't implicate your entire vine tribe, so when the next autumn beast tide comes, I want you, the old priest, to stay in the beast tide for a while.
I also hope that you, old priest, will not forget to repay the debt to my Mu tribe."
He actually wanted to throw me into the beast tide! ! Teng Mu stared at Shen Nong with bloodshot eyes, and his numb expression became distorted. He stood up excitedly and wanted to pounce on Shen Nong, but he couldn't get up because he had been sitting for too long.
The orcs from the Wood Tribe who were standing by rushed forward and pushed the man back to the ground.
"You! You are more terrifying than the cannibals! You actually want to throw me into the beast tide! Those stupid tribes actually worship a terrifying person like you as the high priest!" Fujiki muttered to himself. He struggled to stand up, but the hand on his shoulder was like a thousand-pound boulder, preventing him from moving.
Fujiki looked up at the beastman controlling him angrily. When he saw who it was, he froze and forgot to struggle. Fujiki couldn't believe it. His voice was so low and hoarse that it seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "Fox Five?"
Fox Five did not respond, and his movements did not slow down at all. Instead, he increased them a little more for fear that Fujiki would suddenly explode.
Fujiki came back to his senses after feeling the sharp pain in his shoulder. He completely gave up the idea of getting up. He panted heavily and said viciously: "You are a member of my Vine Tribe, how dare you attack the priest!"
Fox Five, who had been silent the whole time, responded after hearing Fujiki's words: "I am Fox Five, the ninth orc warrior of the third team of the Wood Tribe Army Guard."
After announcing his name, Fox Five didn't say another word. Fujiki, however, seemed to be crazy, holding Fox Five by his hand and saying over and over again: "You are an orc warrior from my vine tribe!"
However, Fox Five didn't even look at Fujiki again.
"Priest, he is not an orc from the Vine Tribe. He does not have the totem of our Vine Tribe." Mao Teng, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. He said to Shen Nong tiredly, "Priest of the Wood Tribe, I agree with what you said about letting the orcs of the Vine Tribe join the beast tide next autumn."
Fujiki stopped talking instantly. He glared at Mao Teng and questioned him, "How dare you let me enter the beast tide! I am a priest. If I didn't agree, who would dare to listen to you!"
Mao Teng sneered, "Oh? Then I want to ask the priest, what can you do if you disagree? Didn't you use the enchanting leaf powder to make the beast crazy? Can you move the tribe away right under the nose of the Wood Tribe? Even if you can move, where can you go? Or do you want the entire Vine Tribe to be exterminated because of you?"
Fujiki was speechless. He just lowered his head and muttered to himself, "I did nothing wrong. I was doing it for the good of the tribe."
For the good of the tribe... Mao Teng smiled bitterly. He really didn't know how to do good for the tribe.
But what can they do? This man is the priest of their vine tribe.
Mao Teng rubbed his face and pleaded sincerely to Shen Nong, "Priest of the Wood Tribe, during the beast tide, it was the orcs of the Wood Tribe who were caught in the beast tide and agitated. So I want to lead the orcs of the Vine Tribe Hunting Team into the beast tide during the next beast tide. This is also in line with what you said about giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Don't worry, I will also use the enchanting leaf powder to make the giant beast agitated.
Old priest, forget it, he will die if he enters the beast tide..."
"He will die if he enters the beast tide, but won't my Mu tribe members die too? If it weren't for you, the good priest, how could all the orc warriors of my Mu tribe's military guards be so seriously injured? How could the chief of my Mu tribe be in a coma for two days and almost die?" Shen Nong was so angry that he laughed. He said in a cold voice: "Now that you can talk to me here in one piece, you should be thankful that the orcs of the Mu tribe did not really die. What gives you the right to negotiate with me?"
Mao Teng opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He didn't know what else he could say, and how things could turn out like this.
Fujiki, who was huddled in the corner, seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two. Ever since Mao Teng asked him those questions, he had been immersed in his own world, repeating one sentence over and over again, "I'm doing this for the good of the tribe."
Shen Nong took a deep breath, not wanting to stay here any longer. When he stood up and prepared to leave, he heard a muffled sound behind him. Shen Nong turned around and saw Mao Teng kneeling on the ground, swearing an oath to the Beast God, "Beast God, witness, the priest of the Wood Tribe, I am willing to take the blame on your behalf. I will exchange my life for his."
Mao Teng took two steps on his knees and prayed to Shen Nong: "The tribe...cannot be without a priest."
Just as Shen Nong was about to speak, he was interrupted by someone outside the door saying, "Priest, all the orcs from the Vine Tribe are here."
"How did they get in?" Shen Nong asked curiously.
The orc replied: "It was brought in by Wolf Leaf."
Shen Nong observed that the orc who responded was from the Mu tribe. He did not feel angry at all at this moment, but instead felt excited.
The reason why Lang Ye brought people here was definitely not because he had done anything to betray the Mu tribe.
When Mao Teng heard that the orcs from the vine tribe were coming, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and listened attentively. Teng Mu also shut up and stopped mumbling, waiting to hear the rest of the words.
Shen Nong knew that the two people in the room were anxious to hear the follow-up, so he followed up the topic and asked, "Are you coming here at this time because you can't wait and want to save people?"
The orc glanced at Tengmu and Maoteng in the room, scratched his head, and lowered his voice intentionally, "They came here to join the Mu tribe."
