"ng Tai, have we been tricked by that beast? We’ve been running the whole day and we still haven’t co across any Orcs from the Dashi Tribe."
ng Tai didn’t speak, he just waved his hand to signal the Orcs behind him to stop: "We’ll camp here for today. Second team, go out hunting."
After speaking, he went and sat under a tree.
"What are you thinking, ng Tai? We can’t keep running like this. What if that cunning Orc deceived us?"
"Why do you see everyone as cunning? I think you’re the cunning one!"
"I was talking about the Orcs from other tribes. Why are you so agitated? Are you a spy or sothing!"
The Orc accused of being a spy jumped up instantly: "Bullshit! I just can’t stand your suspicious nature. If you dare say again that I am a spy, let’s have a fight!"
"Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you!"
ng Tai, who was deep in thought, was bothered by the two arguing Orcs. He stood up, delivered a kick to each of their butts sending them flying onto a tree branch: "Shut up, you two. We need so peace."
The two orcs sat quietly on the tree swing, looking quite subdued and not daring to utter another word.
"ng Tai, are we leaving?" An Orc asked this from behind a tree, carefully keeping his distance, fearing being kicked onto a tree by ng Tai.
ng Tai only glanced at him and then said: "Of course we are leaving. Have we seen any other tribes in this area during our journey, besides the one we t yesterday?"
The orcs shook their heads.
"So we have no choice but to trust them unless we encounter a new tribe."
The others could only nod, ng Tai was right. This godforsaken place was already getting unbearably hot as the burning season was upon them and it was showing no signs of life.
What’s more, the vast forest was devoid of many tribes, which was utterly inconceivable.
The hunting Orcs returned and everyone sat down to eat the fresh and juicy food.
"Youlin, they’ve stopped ahead."
A Mouse Beast poked its head from the ground. A line of Orcs hid behind a dense bush, keeping a distance from ng Tai and his team.
Youlin nodded and signaled the Mouse Beast: "Get back here. Don’t get too close to them. We’re just following their tracks. It’ll be a problem if we’re spotted."
The Mouse Beast nodded and jumped out of the ground, transforming into an Orc.
"Should we take this opportunity to go hunting for food? We’ll lose our strength to journey further if we remain hungry."
Youlin stood up and signaled a few Orcs: "A few of us will go hunting, the rest stay here and wait for us."
The Orcs nodded uniformly. Apart from one Orc tasked with guarding, the others sat down to rest against the tree trunk. They’d been running all day and were really tired.
Youlin thought hunting here would be as difficult as before, but surprisingly, the jungle was rich with prey. In no ti, several Orcs ca back carrying three Elks.
They slit the Elks’ veins with their fingernails and everyone began to drink the blood. Afterwards, they carefully removed the Beast Skins and started eating the at.
anwhile, the Orcs from the Monte Tribe had finished lunch. ng Tai stood up: "No more resting, we shall continue while there’s still daylight. With a bit of luck, we will be able to sleep inside tents tonight."
The Orcs got up and started following ng Tai.
