Chapter 131 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

After a whole night and half a day of migration, the group arrived at the mouth of the border river in the afternoon of the second day.

At this time, all the mermaids dived to the bottom of the river and swam.

Jianze took He Qianqian and others and flew to the highest cloud layer to avoid the eyes and ears of the Gu Diao.

Finally they arrived at their destination.

At that time, Ming Gong Yao used the secret technique of mermaid transfer to transfer everyone thousands of miles away.

He did all this without consulting anyone beforehand. But now that he thinks about it, it was indeed necessary, because if he didn't leave, there would definitely be casualties.

Now, although they are back, they also have a lot of initiative.

The patch of grass that He Qianqian had once nurtured with her wood-based abilities is now covered with lush vegetation, and the plants are as tall as calves.

The males burned the grass, built camps, set up bamboo houses, and settled the females as quickly as possible.

Hu Ling covered them under the dark shield again.

The camp will be a safe fortress, housing all the rescued old orcs and the weak.

Jianze had been hovering at the highest altitude, keeping watch over the camp.

Fortunately, the Gu Diao orc was not alarmed.

Although not far away, you can see the Gu Diao patrolling and searching.

~

It was time again for Gu Diao to execute slaves every day.

This time, we have to rescue those people in time.

The camp was left to the mermaid warriors to guard, while the other males prepared to join in the action.

"Qianqian, we can just go, you stay."

Jianze felt sorry for her. She hadn't had a good rest along the way. Her pregnant belly was already bulging, and he could hear the fetal heartbeat. Although Jianze could tell how many cubs there were by listening to the heartbeat, he was timid and didn't want to listen. He didn't even want to know in advance how many cubs there were. It turned out that being pregnant with someone else's cubs was different from being pregnant with your own cubs. Seeing He Qianqian's belly getting bigger every day, he would be frightened and uneasy. He hadn't slept well for a long time. He just wanted to get rid of the Gu Diao as soon as possible so that his female could have a good rest.

“I’m not tired, I’ve been sleeping in heaven.

We should try to rescue more people this time, so that Gu Diao won’t use the hostages to hold us hostage.”

"Okay, then you follow me closely." Jianze held her hand tightly. He knew his female. She was a woman with her own ideas, not a willful one. He chose to believe her and trust her every time, and he was never disappointed.

Finally they approached the big intersection.

This road is the only way for orcs from various tribes to rush to the City of Beasts from all over the north.

Those coming and going are orcs on the road.

The Gu Diao orc chose a huge tree at the intersection.

The bodies of the slaves who were executed a few days ago were still hanging on the big tree.

The corpse was rotting and being pecked at, which was a horrible sight. The white bones were exposed, attracting flies and mosquitoes everywhere. There were also swarms of birds eating carrion circling in the sky.

The five slaves who were about to be executed had been hung on a high platform.

The orcs passing by were angry but dared not say anything. They just glanced at each other for a few seconds and then hurried on their way.

The Gu Diao is really too difficult to deal with and is notorious. None of the tribes have the ability to compete with it and cannot afford to provoke it.

But every orc was angry in his heart.

Because the orcs believe in the beast god, accept death, and have their own simple beliefs and principles of life. Orcs do not eat the meat of orcs. Even if there are casualties in the fight, "kill and bury" is a simple principle. Killing orcs like Gu Diao, leaving the bodies outside without burying them, letting them rot and be eaten by various animals is really shocking and cruel. There are also orcs with cubs and females passing by the road, which can easily be frightened and scream and cry.

After Hu Ling explored the area, he whispered to everyone:

"Liao Zhen is not here. He should be in the territory and not come here in person."

Jianze said: "Not necessarily. We must be careful of traps. However, the execution is imminent and we cannot delay any longer.

Let's go, let's move."

Others wore invisibility cloaks and lurked on the periphery.

The two young beast forms of Hu Ling and Jian Ze flew out like a shadow.

At the fastest speed, the two of them used their special skills to kill more than a dozen Gu Diao orcs.

They died before they could even make a sound.

Then, the slaves disappeared in a flash.

Obviously, they had been rescued and were being protected by Hu Ling's cloak.

Ye Qianmu took He Qianqian with him and quickly returned.

When they were halfway there, they saw Liao Zhen and his men chasing after them.

Although Gu Diao could not see Hu Ling and others, it could get clues from the traces they left on the ground.

He Qianqian immediately used her wood-related abilities to make the grass that had been trampled along the way grow again.

Cover up all traces.

Until Jianze carried everyone to a high altitude and successfully reached the camp.

Liao Zhen was still circling nearby.

He became even more annoyed and on the verge of rage, but he didn't expect to lose track again.

"Come here, bring all the fox slaves to me."

Liao Zhen was so furious that he was almost losing his mind, and his cruel and bloodthirsty nature was revealed.

An older orc beside him advised:

“Chief, the fox slaves are our important labor force, we cannot kill them all.

Where else can we find orcs to enslave?"

"Shut up! Once we get rid of this evil remnant Hu Ling, our power will be greatly enhanced.

If there are no slaves, we will go and rob them.”

Liao Zhen was getting more and more irritated. He couldn't wait to find Ah Li. He had a feeling that Ah Li was nearby. But he didn't know that his irritability and his perception of Ah Li were all controlled by Ah Li.

The orc shook his head slightly and quickly shut up, not daring to persuade him anymore, otherwise his life would be in danger.

Liao Zhen was already overwhelmed by anger, and no further persuasion was of any use.

~

Liao Zhen thought he was smart and had set a trap in advance, which would lure out Hu Ling and others and catch them all in one fell swoop.

But he didn't expect that Hu Ling and others were also using the strategy of cutting off the source of the problem.

Seeing Liao Zhen circling around near the main road, Jianze and Qingyu sent the slaves back to the camp, and immediately took their companions to the residential area of ​​the Gu Diao territory.

Without Liao Zhen personally leading the charge, the Gu Diao territory was left unguarded.

They bypassed the Gu Diao's guard and rescued all the imprisoned slaves and the remaining female foxes.

As soon as the orcs of the Spirit Fox clan saw Hu Ling, the nine-tailed red fox, they immediately knew that they were going to be saved.

They all evolved into their smallest forms and cooperated very well to get into the big sack.

Just like that, He Qianqian put more than a dozen large sacks into her own space and successfully transferred them.

Then return to the safe fortress, protected by the dark shield.

This operation was carried out quietly, and the few Gu Diao orcs that were occasionally alarmed were also dealt with as quickly as possible.

A total of more than 300 fox tribe members were rescued.

~

When the Gu Diao arrived and wanted to pick up the slaves, he found that all the fox beastmen were nowhere to be found.

Liao Zhen was so furious that he whipped his men severely with a whip.

He ordered all the Gu Diao to go out and search for the whereabouts of Hu Ling and others.

~

Looking at his fellow tribesmen who were experiencing mixed feelings of sadness and joy, Hu Ling was filled with emotion.

At its peak, the Spirit Fox clan had a population of nearly 20,000.

Now, there are less than 400 left.

All the powerful orcs above level four were killed.

Only females, young orcs, young men and old orcs were left, and they were of low rank and had little ability to resist.

Everyone hugged each other and cried, unable to control themselves.

They have been waiting for the Fox Chief for many years.

Hu Ling was deeply aware that the spirit fox would not be able to have complete defensive capabilities within a hundred years.

He said to Jianze carefully: "The Spirit Fox Clan is willing to cede part of the territory bordering you in exchange for the protection of the Winged Tiger Clan for the next hundred years.

Female foxes are willing to marry people from all tribes in the City of Beasts.

This is a chance to breathe and recover.”

Jianze had already expected that Hu Ling and his tribesmen would make this decision.

Why not? This is a great thing. Being neighbors with anyone is better than being a Gu Diao.

Jianze said: “On behalf of my father, I agree with your proposal.

In addition, please send your people in charge to attend the elders meeting."

Hu Ling nodded with satisfaction: "Jian Ze, thank you. For the next ten years, the female foxes will live in your territory first."

"Okay. I will allocate a place in the core residential area for you to temporarily live in."

At this time, the mermaid beastman hurried in to report:

"Liao Zhen and Gu Diao have come out in full force and are already near us."

The scene was completely quiet, and there was no fear on the faces of the fox orcs.

Jianze said: "It's good that you're here, let's bury them all here!"
