Chapter 231 The Great Mystery
Chapter 231 The Great Mystery
The kids' fights successfully dispelled A Ling's gloomy mood.
Just as she turned to go to the kitchen to get some fruit, a sharp whistle rang out over the entire tribe, breaking the original peace.
The playing kids stopped what they were doing in a daze, and Langqi subconsciously stood beside Yuer.
The fruit that A Ling was holding rolled all over the floor. After a few seconds of hesitation, she quickly pulled the cubs out of the house, and just in time ran into Xiong Mo and a few orcs.
Xiong Mo's face was solemn. Before they could speak, Lang Qi asked first, "Uncle Mo, what happened?"
Xiong Mo picked up the little tiger cub on the ground and said hurriedly, "Someone is coming from Shimai, let's go."
Then, he picked up Yu'er, hugged A Ling and Lang Qi, and walked towards the underground passage.
At this time, tribesmen from all directions also headed towards the underground passage.
The expressions on their faces were all confusion and fear.
A Ling's heart beat faster with nervousness. In the past, when the outside tribes attacked, they rarely had to go to the underground passage. While she was worried, she did not forget to think of her other two brothers.
"Where are A-Lin and A-Yan?"
Xiong Mo has a strong voice.
"Don't worry, they are with Lang Yi."
A Ling felt a little relieved.
Just as they reached the entrance and were about to go down the stairs, a loud bang suddenly came from the front.
The raised smoke and dust were quickly inhaled into A Ling's nose, followed by the painful groans of the females in front and the crying and screaming of the cubs.
Ah Ling was stunned and stood there, "What's that sound?"
An orc standing behind Xiong Mo transformed into a cheetah on the spot and ran forward quickly, his figure gradually disappearing in the smoke and dust.
After a while, he appeared in front of them from the smoke and dust, holding a crying baby in his mouth.
He gently put the cub on the ground and spoke to Xiong Mo solemnly.
"The entrance to the cave has been blown up. We have to find another place to leave!"
The orc's words made the nearly collapsed female stand there in a daze.
"How did they know about this place?"
"What exactly do the people of the Stone Vein Tribe want to do?"
"Why let us leave? Why don't you allow us to fight them!"
Xiong Mo's eyes swept across the group of females, and his deep voice echoed in this not-so-big entrance.
He said: "Because the Stone Veins are more powerful than you think, because it is the duty of the orcs to protect the female cubs! The Stone Veins came well prepared this time. We don't know their details, but their power is definitely more terrifying than we think. I know you are not ordinary females. Your character and ability are obvious to everyone. However, if you go to fight against the unknown force, what will happen to the cubs?"
The females were stunned and subconsciously looked at the cubs in their arms.
Some of them have not yet reached the age of animalization. They just stare with a pair of innocent big eyes wide open and remain silent.
Mother told them to keep quiet.
They are so well-behaved and obedient that it makes the female's heart soften.
After saying that, Xiong Mo took A Ling and the others and left the entrance of the passage first. The remaining few orcs stayed behind to help the females in the passage evacuate.
Ever since the violent explosion in the passage, the Fuxi tribe has undergone earth-shaking changes.
There were loud rumbling noises everywhere. Some orcs were fleeing, but suddenly a huge rock fell from the sky and smashed them into a pool of meat paste.
The hot blood splashed on the faces of the surrounding female orcs. They looked up in disbelief and found that countless huge rocks were flying in from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, sharp arrows fell straight down from above their heads like heavy rain, piercing through the bodies of the tribesmen and into the ground.
Looking up, they saw the members of the Stone Vein tribe sitting on eagles, holding bows and arrows with proud and determined expressions.
Some members of the Shimai tribe had burning wood tied to their bodies. The huge wood fell on the shed and the wooden house. The blazing flames were so fierce that they were eye-scorching even in the daytime.
It's all a mess...
The tribesmen could no longer suppress their inner fear and collapsed screaming.
When the long polar night came, they thought they would die, but they didn't.
When the mysterious dark beasts from the East attacked, they thought they were going to die, but they didn't.
But this time, the word death hovered in the minds of all the tribesmen.
They could no longer convince themselves unless a miracle happened, unless the Beast Master appeared!
"Where is the beast master? The beast master!"
The female cries out mournfully while holding her tragically dead partner.
The orc fell to the ground with his head covered, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
At this moment, Gao Yang hung up, and his air was icy cold as it fell on the tribesmen.
……
"Qingqing, I brought you something again, it's what you like..."
The words stopped abruptly, and Mo Xiao looked at the empty house in confusion, then turned around and went out to look for Mu Qingqing.
Just after he left, Mu Qingqing slowly pushed the door of the cabinet and walked out with an expressionless face.
It has been almost a week. Ever since that fake Mo Xiao came to see her that day, he has come to see her every day since then.
But Mu Qingqing no longer had the patience to continue acting with him.
During this period of time, she had almost figured out this position.
This cave is near Beifang Yashan and is the only place in the north that is not covered by ice crystals.
I learned from them that the Black Snake Clan has lived here for a long time.
It is more like being under house arrest than living. They cannot leave this place, and if they leave, they will surely die.
The priest asked the beast god why he imprisoned them here.
The Beast God said that the Black Snake Clan was very powerful and could destroy almost everything on the Orc Continent. Moreover, the rumors that they were cold-blooded and ruthless were also true. Such a race should not exist, but since it existed, their actions could only be restricted.
These words sounded like a fairy tale, and Mu Qingqing didn't believe a word of it.
Then why was Mo Xiao able to leave the north, and why did she see other members of the Mo Snake clan in the Fuxi tribe.
Later they told Mu Qingqing that Mo Xiao was an exception because the bloodline of those orcs was not pure.
Mu Qingqing almost laughed out loud when she heard this, until later she saw with her own eyes an orc in the cave sneak away and then die under the ice crystals.
The orc moved very carefully, but he only moved lightly and accidentally touched the ice crystal, and immediately fell to the ground. Then thick black smoke rose from his body, and his corpse turned to ashes.
Mu Qingqing stared at the scene with dazed eyes.
She murmured and asked, "Then why were the few black snakes I saw the first time able to move freely in the forest and even climb up the mountain?"
But they spoke hesitantly.
"Those people were chosen by the Beast God, so they can move."
She continued to ask: "What did you choose to do?"
"Sacrifice."
After that, no matter how Mu Qingqing tried to get the question, just like when she mentioned Mo Xiao, he refused to speak.
Until today, Mu Qingqing was ready to take action.
She calmly took out a few guns from the space and put them on her waist with skillful movements, very openly, as if she was afraid that others would not see!
Then, she took out a gleaming samurai sword, which was extremely sharp just by looking at its light, and then she rushed out of the door.
Everyone who was busy in the cave took the time to look at her, then lowered their heads and continued to work.
Instead, it was Mu Qingqing who was stunned.
She looked down at the long knife in her hand that was shining brightly, and then shifted her gaze to the two females who had been guarding her.
When the females saw her dressed like this from afar, they even dodged and avoided her!
what's the situation?
Without caring about so much, Mu Qingqing glanced at Lan's position, then immediately changed direction and walked towards the place where the orcs were guarding.
I thought that the orcs would definitely try to stop us, but strangely, everything went unexpectedly smoothly, and these orcs acted as if they couldn't see Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing concealed the doubts in her heart and walked towards this place she had never set foot on.
It was a long staircase made of yellow mud, and it seemed as if there was no end.
There are about a hundred steps, and the walls on both sides are uneven, with many densely packed runes painted on them, which look ancient and mysterious.
Small pearls were hung on the wall, emitting a faint light. There was also a bat-like mummy fixed to the wall of an unknown species. Its belly was bulging high, and the embryonic form of a creature inside could be vaguely seen.
Mu Qingqing walked down by feeling the wall, taking every step extremely cautiously. The further she went down, the more she smelled a fresh breath mixed with a strong smell of blood.
Then, Mu Qingqing went down the last step and saw Mo Xiao at the corner.
It looked like Mo Xiao, but it wasn't Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao stood alone on the edge of the cliff, his face covered with many strange and mysterious runes. A black animal skin like a cloak was draped over his shoulders. The expression on his face was serious and indifferent that Mu Qingqing had never seen before.
Like a leader, giving orders to the tribesmen below.
At this moment, Mu Qingqing felt that Mo Xiao was very strange.
She thought Mo Xiao grew up alone and went through a lot of hardships, but it seemed that was not the case.
The black snake tribe treated him with great respect, and everyone below acted according to his mood.
"Master Beast, when do we start the sacrificial ceremony?"
Mu Qingqing heard an orc ask this.
Then came Mo Xiao's calm and emotionless voice.
"It will be done soon. We can do it once the baby in her belly is formed."
Is this her? Mu Qingqing's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"But her behavior has been unusual recently, and I'm afraid she won't cooperate when the time comes."
Mo Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the tribesman who was speaking.
"It's okay, I have Lan here."
Mu Qingqing swallowed nervously and subconsciously took a step back.
Perhaps being with the fake Mo Xiao for so many days had clouded her judgment, and she couldn't even tell whether the Mo Xiao in front of her was real or fake.
But her heart, which was beating faster and faster, told her.
The person in front of her was Mo Xiao, her beloved partner.
Then her partner said.
Once the baby in her belly is formed, she can offer sacrifices...
Mu Qingqing's brain was buzzing.
Was it her that was being spoken of? She could understand every word, but she just couldn't seem to get it.
Mu Qingqing returned to her room numbly. The two females guarding her at the door looked at her for a few seconds, then lowered their heads and whispered.
Little did they know that after Mu Qingqing left, Lan slowly walked out from the shadows.
She just waved her hand, and the sight of Mo Xiao standing on the edge of the cliff disappeared.
She bit her finger and pressed the bloody finger against the wall. Then she pushed lightly and the wall began to rotate.
Below, there is still a long staircase with no end in sight.
Mo Xiao was pierced all over his body by tiny and sharp thorns, his nose and eyes leaned weakly against the wall, and the ground was covered with bloody red stains.
Some had already dried and solidified, while others were dripping from the wounds.
Lan was still hunched over, but he looked condescending when standing in front of Mo Xiao.
Not long after the figure loomed over Mo Xiao's head, Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were enchanting and captivating, extremely red, with a layer of sheen on the pupils, as if they were about to drip tears of blood.
The two looked at each other quietly without saying a word.
Finally, Lan spoke.
"When are you going to agree? She's running out of patience."
Mo Xiao coughed twice, his throat tasted fishy and sweet, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Lan's face looked even colder.
"When you left, I expected this day to come. I didn't expect it to be true."
Mo Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Lan. His movements tore the wound. He couldn't help but groan, and then spoke hoarsely.
"Since you knew this would be the outcome, why did you let me go find her?"
Lan couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and became hysterical in just a few seconds.
"Beast God, this is the will of the Beast God! Only by finding her can we help our Black Snake Clan!"
Mo Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, "You know, I never believe in any beast god."
Lan smiled, with a mad look in his eyes.
"Whether you believe in the Beast God or not, our Black Snake Clan will be liberated!"
Mo Xiao raised his head suddenly, his red eyes were fierce.
"What did you do to her?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Lan muttered to himself, not sure whether he was talking to himself or Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao struggled frantically, and the sharp thorns of the vines pierced into the wound more violently under his movements, and the blood flowed more violently.
Gradually, they gathered together under him.
Lan returned to his room and saw that Mu Qingqing's two females had been waiting there for a long time.
Lan slowly sat down cross-legged, picked up a wooden stick and began to carve and grind it carefully.
"How did she react?"
The females looked at each other and said, "He is distracted and has been staying in the room without coming out."
Lan nodded in satisfaction, "Next, tell the tribe members that they can tell him about Mo Xiao."
"Yes, priest."
Mu Qingqing felt like she was in a huge lie.
She lay in bed and kept recalling the time she and Mo Xiao met until now.
Mo Xiao had vaguely answered her questions countless times, even when he brought her to the north for the first time, there was something wrong that she couldn't explain.
Various mysteries wrapped Mu Qingqing like a huge woven net.
It made it impossible for her to have peace of mind.
The next day, she got up from bed early and did the same things as the previous few days.
She chatted with the females around her to get information, and this time she heard a different version of the story.
"He is our beast master. You should pretend you don't know about this, Aqing."
The word "beast master" made Mu Qingqing stunned for a moment.
It seemed that these two words connected all her questions and confusions.
No wonder those orcs looked at Mo Xiao with awe.
