Elyle took a few steps forward and then spoke in a low voice, "Today, the patrolling Orcs reported that so strangers from the Land BeastmOrcen ca to our territory’s beach and collected a lot of Shell Beasts."
The tone was very grave.
"Collecting Shell Beasts?" The old Priest waved his hand indifferently, "Let them collect, it’s not like they are stealing our food."
Elyle frowned, stepped forward, and his voice now carried a hint of urgency, "Priest, our tribespeople said that he is an evolved Orc, and his imposing presence is even greater than mine."
The old Priest rose from the waterhole, his expression still calm and serene, "Did he attack any of our tribespeople?"
Elyle was taken aback by the question and then shook his head, "No, he did discover the patrolling tribespeople but only exerted his presence to stop them from approaching. After collecting the Shell Beasts, he left."
The old Priest shook his head, "Elyle, you are too deeply influenced by those beasts. We occasionally go hunting in the forest; why can’t the Land BeastmOrcen co and collect so Shell Beasts, catch so Sea Beasts?"
A hint of disdain flashed across Elyle, "How can those dirty Land BeastmOrcen compare with us of the Aquatic Clan?"
The old Priest sighed, "Such thoughts are truly horrifying. Since they didn’t harm the Tribe, let it be. Maybe he is an Orc from so big tribe on the land."
Then, he glanced at Elyle, "Go now, I am tired."
Elyle, seeing the Priest now with his eyes closed, bowed and left.
It was not until his figure disappeared into the cave that the old Priest opened his eyes and gazed at the entrance of the cave, heaving a deep sigh filled with helplessness.
The next morning, the Watson Tribe’s Orcs were up early.
So were packing up tents, while others were busily preparing food in an orderly manner.
Ji Nuan was gathering the herbs she had collected over the past few days, storing them in her backpack.
Kaka and a few Orcs tied up the Beast Skins that had been washed and dried yesterday, which were to be traded with the Tortoise Orcs.
Suddenly, a roar from a wild beast thundered through the forest, so loud that Ji Nuan felt her eardrums throbbing.
The Guard Orcs had already picked up their weapons and were running towards the forest.
Ya Li ca up to Ji Nuan, his face filled with solemnity, "It’s a lting Beast!"
A lting Beast is among the most ferocious beasts in the entire Beast World Continent, with a body size two to three tis larger than ordinary fierce beasts, agile limbs, and thick, tough fur that even the characteristically sharp claws of Orcs couldn’t penetrate.
An adult lting Beast could severely injure several Orcs with just one swipe of its paw.
Sotis, a single adult lting Beast could annihilate a small Orc Tribe.
Ji Nuan had heard of this beast from the mouths of other Orcs but had never seen one.
Xiu Yan had taken the tribespeople out hunting, leaving only Ya Li and two guard teams in the Tribe.
Ji Nuan looked at the Orc beside her, "Ya Li, can you kill this lting Beast?"
Ya Li, with a serious look, turned his gaze toward the mountain-like beast, "Although I am an evolved Orc, our Black Rock Python evolution enhanced our body’s defense and muscular constrictive power, but against a lting Beast..."
He paused, then with a bitter smile, shook his head, "I can only try to restrain it as best as I can."
