Chapter 228 The Eastern Tribe Hidden Behind the Cursed Land
Since Chong, as the leader of the Bear Beast Tribe, had already made his decision, Linni could no longer object.
She said to the group of bear-beastmen with great concern, "Then you should be careful."
He smiled and said, "Beast God Envoy, don't worry. This isn't the first time we've forced our way into the Cursed Land. We're experienced."
His words made Linni even more worried. She solemnly instructed, "Be careful not to get bitten by the ferocious beast. Orcs who have been bitten by the beast before should be placed in the middle."
Seeing her give such a solemn instruction, Chong didn't ask why, but nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand!" After saying that, Chong went to make arrangements for the bear beastmen.
When Linni went to question the bear-beastman again, she hugged Bai and Yan, and even kissed them on the lips in front of everyone, saying, "You two are not allowed to get hurt."
Bai and Yan knew what Lin Ni was worried about, so they hugged her tightly and said solemnly, "Nothing will happen."
Lin Ni gave Xuan and Ling another deep look: "You too!"
Xuan smiled and nodded at her. Ling said, "Lin, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on everyone."
Lin Ni glanced at Ling again: Snake-beastmen might be a bit less perceptive than other beastmen, like Ye, who often couldn't understand her meaning. I was clearly concerned about him, and Xuan understood, so why couldn't he? Therefore, although the two looked quite similar and met Lin Ni at the same time, Lin Ni preferred Xuan a little more, and there was a reason for that.
Ling thought to herself: Little Linni trusts my abilities so much; she's entrusting everyone's safety to me!
No one spoke again. Yao carried Lin Ni and Sheng and several other flying beastmen on his back and took off first. After the beastmen of the Bear Beast Tribe had all lined up and run into the Cursed Land, Yao led Da Wen and Xue to fly over first, while Yan and the others circled over the Cursed Land to provide support.
The land orcs would take an hour or two to run, but the flying orcs were much faster, covering the distance in half an hour. After crossing the small hills, they flew towards the small village by the lake. As soon as they landed outside the village, they saw six male orcs emerging from within.
Yao picked up Lin Ni and placed her on his arm, and everyone else surrounded her as if facing a formidable enemy. The main concern was that the people who had arrived were of high level, and if there were any other ambushes, the situation would become serious.
Emerging from the small tribe were two level-eight crocodile beastmen, one old and one strong, two level-seven beastmen, one a deer and the other a crane, and a level-six golden pheasant beastman. This was truly a mixed tribe. A small tribe dominated by cold-blooded beastmen—no one had ever seen anything like it before.
The orcs stopped about thirty meters away from Linni and her companions, a safe distance for everyone. The elderly level eight crocodile orc looked up and smiled kindly at them: "Powerful flying orcs and lovely little females, are you here to see the stone tablet or to visit our tribe?"
The crocodile beastman's attitude and words gave Linni a very friendly feeling, so she smiled and said, "Hello! I am the messenger of the Beast God. We are here to awaken the guardian stone tablet."
"The Beast God's messenger?" The beastmen of the small tribe exchanged surprised glances. The elderly crocodile beastman repeated, "The Beast God's messenger has come here to awaken the guardian stone tablet?"
Linni was used to telling these things to everyone whenever she went to a new place, and she didn't intend to waste time talking to them. Instead, she asked, "What is the name of your tribe? Can I speak with your chief or leader?"
The elderly crocodile-beastman nodded and said, "Our place is called the Eastern Tribe. Come with us to the tribe."
They knew nothing about this tribe; after all, it was a tribe of cold-blooded orcs, and they certainly couldn't just follow them into the tribe. So Yao said, "We still have sixty or seventy companions crossing the Cursed Land. Let's wait for them to arrive before we go in together."
Upon hearing that there were so many of them, the six orcs opposite them all changed their expressions. The old crocodile orc was no longer as friendly as before, and instead looked at Lin Ni with a solemn expression: "What kind of orcs came with you?"
Their sudden change in demeanor made Linni a little nervous. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "The people who have come are beastmen from the Bear Beast Tribe, not wandering beastmen. Don't worry."
The orcs from the Eastern Tribes looked slightly better upon hearing that they were from the Bear Beast Tribe. However, the elderly Crocodile Orc didn't mention inviting them into the tribe again, but instead said to the Level 7 Crane Orc beside him, "Zhu, go back to your tribe and fetch your chief."
Zhu, a level seven crane beastman, nodded and then turned and ran back to his tribe.
Their attitude made Linni feel even better about them. If they were bad people, they would definitely want her to go to their tribe. Since they didn't welcome outsiders, it proved that they didn't want to do anything to outsiders. However, given the reputation of the cold-blooded beastmen, she didn't say anything more. Everyone stood there and waited for a while. Then, the level seven crane beastman Zhu came out of the tribe with three other beastmen. The leader was a level nine crocodile beastman, and the other two were level eight beastmen. This Eastern tribe looked quite small, but its strength was really impressive.
The leading level nine crocodile beastman looked at Lin Ni and said, "I am the leader of the Eastern Tribe, my name is Yangzi. You say you are the messenger of the Beast God?"
Lin Ni nodded and said, "Yes, I am Lin, the messenger of the Beast God. This is my companion: the divine bird Phoenix Yao. We came to this far east with the people of the Bear Beast Tribe to awaken and activate the Azure Dragon Stele."
The beastmen of the Eastern Tribe exchanged glances, clearly not quite understanding the meaning behind Linni's words. Linni continued, "We have successfully awakened and activated the Vermilion Bird Stele in the far south. Tomorrow morning, I will also awaken the Azure Dragon Stele, the one next to your Eastern Tribe. Before that, I hope you can call out all the beastmen in your tribe to listen to me tell you everything about the Beast God. You are powerful, and I believe you are not afraid that we will do anything bad to your people."
The beastmen of the Eastern Tribe whispered among themselves for a while, then glanced at Tian Tian and Ye who were standing next to Lin Ni. Their wary gazes lingered on Ye for quite some time, it seemed that their distrust stemmed from Ye!
Yangzi asked, "Who is the leader from the Bear Beast Tribe?"
Upon hearing this, Linni realized he must know some of the orcs from the Bear Beast Tribe, which made things easier. She said, "The ones arriving are the leader of the Bear Beast Tribe: Chong, and the Black Bear Chieftain Zhuo. They are coming through the Cursed Land."
The orcs of the Crocodile Beast Tribe glanced in the direction of the Cursed Land and saw Sheng and several other flying orcs circling in the sky.
