Chapter 113: Liao Xu, the leader of the Gu Diao
Orc Ding: "Xiao Yu, are you too embarrassed to propose? You've used all your usual tricks to cling to me, how can I refuse you, little female?
Are you still not smart? Why don’t you ask your grandfather? He was very popular in the City of Beasts. Many young females liked him.”
Qingyu was speechless and blushed after hearing this.
Who do you look down on? These old orcs are just worrying about nothing.
Qianqian has already agreed to his courtship request, but this matter will be discussed later.
Now City Lord Jian still has a stern face. We can talk about other things only after he calms down.
"Uncles, I'm going to go to grandpa and ask for advice on courtship. We'll talk later."
slip away.
Qingyu slid away very quickly with the grease on his feet.
He did not go to look for his grandfather, but gathered several messengers and brought along those orcs who knew the inside story of the Gu Diao.
Qingyu led them to the young city lord's residence and took them directly into the hall.
The messenger saluted Qingyu.
When the other orcs saw Jianze, they knelt on the ground trembling with fear.
He Qianqian walked out and saw this scene.
The orcs kneeling on the ground had some missing arms, legs, and eyeballs, and some had hideous looks with disfigured faces and bodies.
Jianze waved his hand: "Hurry up and get up. Who are you trying to scare to death by kneeling here?"
He turned around and hugged He Qianqian to comfort her: "Don't be afraid. They are not useless animals, they are just disabled later in life."
Qingyu explained to her: "These disabled animals were captured by the Gu Diao as slaves and were tortured to this extent."
He Qianqian thought of the Gu Diao orcs' reputation for cruelty and bloodthirstiness, but she was still shocked when she actually saw these orcs.
She nodded silently and sat aside to listen to their stories.
"My Lords, let me first tell you what I know."
A young Snow Owl orc stepped forward, glanced at He Qianqian, and quickly lowered his head and continued:
“The territory of the Gu Diao tribe does not border ours, and there is the territory of the Spirit Fox in between.
But in the past hundred years, the Gu Diao and Linghu tribes have had countless fierce battles, and the Linghu tribe was completely defeated.
The Gu Diao occupied the Spirit Fox's territory, and now it borders us."
"The leader of the Gu Diao, Liao Xu, is a sixth-order intermediate orc. He is brutal and extremely ambitious.
He killed all the cubs and young orcs in the fox territory and took the fertile females for his own use.
Adult males who didn’t have time to escape were captured and made slaves.
They had to eat the least food and do the heaviest work, but that was not enough. If the slaves were a little lazy, they would be suppressed by brutal means.
"These six disabled beasts are the beastmen who successfully escaped to the tiger beast territory."
"They are now bordering us, and they often cross the border to hunt. Our warriors also hate them."
He Qianqian looked at the disabled beast and asked, "Are you all spirit fox beastmen?"
"Yes."
The six disabled beasts quickly saluted her.
An old man who had lost an eye and had hideous scars all over his face said respectfully:
“Little female, we are all poor spirit fox orcs.
The leader of the Gu Diao, Liao Xu, doesn't treat us as living creatures at all.
Not only was his whole body filled with poison, he was also obsessed with preparing various more torturous poisons and then having slaves test them.
My face was burned like this because he poured poisonous water on it. The piercing pain tortured me all night, and I wanted to die immediately. If I hadn't thought that I still had a female cub in their hands, I would have wanted to die long ago.
This is still considered lucky, as many of the tribesmen were tortured to death by his poison."
After saying this, he still shuddered, trembled all over, and kept crying.
Several fox orcs nearby also started to cry.
The young Snow Owl Messenger said, "The six of them were forced to hunt. They were surrounded by a group of polar bears in the ice and snow. We happened to encounter them and scooped them up into the air, thus rescuing them."
He Qianqian asked: "Old man, is your female cub still alive? Does Liao Xu have a female partner?"
"My female cub is still alive, but she is probably not far from death."
His voice was sad and desperate, and he continued, "Once he was close to me, and I smelled a complex scent on him, more than just a female scent.
It is said that he has no offspring to this day because he has poison in his body, and the females that mate with him are often poisoned to death within a month.
He Qianqian: "Among the Gu Diao beastmen, there are also females, right?"
“The Gu Diao tribe also has females, but they are generally ugly.
Moreover, Liao Xu himself liked to prepare poisons, and the poison he was contaminated with did not kill him.
But the females who had affairs with him didn’t live long.”
He Qianqian asked again: "Old man, have you ever seen a very beautiful female?
She has blue-purple eyes, long gray hair, and a very nice voice. When she sings, people around her stop to listen, attracted by her singing and never forget it for a long time. "
"I didn't hear any singing." He looked at the other five, and they all shook their heads.
The old man continued, “Female spirit foxes have red eyes and are known for their beauty.
The female Gu Diao has black eyes.
Little female, you are the first one we have seen with blue-purple eyes. You are more beautiful than my spirit fox female. "
Unexpectedly being praised, He Qianqian smiled at him kindly.
"Old man, does Liao Xu have any weaknesses?"
"It is said that the poison of their Gu Diao is not inexhaustible. Every time they fight, they smear the poison from their fangs all over their body and claws. The poison can only last for half a day before it is no longer effective.
But the poison in the fangs is so small that it takes several days for it to replenish after it has been used.
That’s why Liao Xu was obsessed with preparing a new poison.”
Jianze and Qingyu were both shocked.
There were some things that the Snowy Owl had never thought of, but she didn't expect the little female to ask them.
After talking for a while, Qingyu sent them all away.
He also called on his snowy owl brothers to take good care of these disabled animals and might even ask them some more questions.
Jianze and the other two came to the inner room and discussed in a low voice.
Jianze said: "My father and his people have insisted over the years not to provoke the Gu Diao and just to get by on the surface.
The main reason is that they cannot be completely exterminated. Even if there is only one cub left, given their vengeful and bloodthirsty nature, they will come back in the future.
This way, there will always be casualties among our Winged Tiger Clan."
He Qianqian understood that in tribal fights, they generally did not kill females and cubs, nor did they kill orcs below level two.
The larger the number of people in a large tribe, the more things they have to worry about. Large tribes care more about their reputation.
Moreover, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is an elder system. Although City Lord Jian has absolute say, he should not act arbitrarily and should always refer to the advice of the elders.
Qingyu said: “Why don’t we keep this a secret from the city lord.
Let the Snowy Owl secretly gather information. Snowy Owls have white feathers, which are best suited for hiding in the snowy mountains. When the time is right, I will go there myself. "
He Qianqian said: "This is not something that can happen in just one or two days. Qingyu, go back and see your family as soon as possible."
Qingyu held her hand, unwilling to leave, his eyes sticky: "Qianqian, do you want to see my grandpa?"
Qingyu was raised by his grandfather, and both his father and mother are no longer around.
However, when He Qianqian thought about meeting his parents, she was filled with frowns.
"Can we meet some other time?"
"Okay, I'll go first." Qingyu left.
He Qianqian lay down and prepared to take a nap.
"Ding——, the fertility-aiding herb reward points have arrived, a total of 1020 points."
"Not bad, not bad. This is my income after I sleep. Pi Dan, thank you for your hard work."
"Host, why don't you look at me? I'm different from before." Pi Dan hid behind the enter key, revealing only a pair of big, blinking eyes.
He Qianqian looked at him carefully and found that he was a little different. His body was transparent before, but now it was not visible at all.
"Pidan, have you gained weight?"
"Of course not."
Pi Dan rolled his eyes and said excitedly: "I was rewarded by the system, and now I have a physical body."
"What is the entity? Could you be a real little boy?"
"No, the system asked me to choose the entity myself, and I chose one—"
The preserved egg stood up, revealing its round body with yellow skin and white flour.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
"rhubarb?"
He Qianqian's eyes widened. Isn't this the big yellow dog next door that our ancestor Yanxuan chose?
