Chapter 399 The Connection with the Golden Monkey Tribe
Wolf Cang looked up and saw that the old orc in front of him was wearing a slanted animal skin coat, revealing dark skin. He had a necklace made of wolf teeth around his neck and a long feathered crown on his head.
Upon seeing him, a strange light flickered in the old orc's dim, cloudy eyes. "You're not Wolf-Ku..."
"But you have the smell of wolfskin on you."
Wolf withered?
Lang Cang kept replaying the name in his mind, feeling that it sounded strangely familiar.
"Who are you to Wolf Ku? A cub?" The old sub-orc frowned and tried to open his eyes wide, trying to see the male orc in front of him clearly.
Upon hearing the name a second time, Lang Cang finally recalled the origin of the name Lang Ku from the deepest recesses of his memory.
Isn't that his grandfather?
In Lang Cang's few memories, Lang Ku seemed to be his grandfather. However, the chief of the Old Star Wolf tribe was already the highest leader, and everyone usually called him the leader instead of his name.
After Lang Ku shed his position as leader of the Star Wolf Clan and handed it over to Lang Ye, everyone referred to him as the old leader.
"Lang Ku is my grandfather, but how do you know his name?" His grandfather had already returned to the embrace of the Beast God when Lang Cang was very young, so Lang Cang did not have a deep impression of him.
He only vaguely remembered that he was a very kind male orc who would use his withered but powerful arms to lift the little wolf cub up into the air and then let it fall steadily into his arms.
That cheerful, blurry smile stayed with Xiao Lang Cang for a long time.
However, before he could grow up, Lang Ku had already left.
"Lang Ku is your grandfather..." The old orc's eyes glazed over for a moment, then he stared intently at Lang Cang in front of him, as if trying to find a trace of an old friend on his face.
She beckoned to Lang Cang, "Child, come sit here." After saying that, she turned around and sat down on a wooden stool.
Lang Cang had no choice but to follow her and sit down.
After settling down, the old orc looked at Lang Cang again, "Where is Lang Ku now? Is he alright?"
Lang Cang pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa has already passed away."
Hearing him say that, the old orc was stunned for a moment, and then remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that he remained silent, Lang Cang asked first, "May I ask who you are, sir...?"
Hearing his voice, the old orc finally came to his senses and sighed deeply, "I never thought that after so many years, that old fellow would actually pass away before me."
She met Lang Cang's questioning gaze, and forced a smile onto her slightly stiff face. "I am Hou Que, the sorceress of the Golden Monkey Tribe."
"He can also be considered an old friend of your grandfather."
"I never thought I'd see the descendants of Langku in the South," the monkey said meaningfully.
"Do you know my grandfather?" Lang Cang asked cautiously.
The monkey smiled, its eyes gradually blurring. "That was a long time ago."
"If it weren't for Lang Ku, the Golden Monkey tribe would probably have been wiped out by now."
"It was he and the Star Wolf tribe who saved the Golden Monkey tribe and found this maze for us so that the Golden Monkey tribe could continue to thrive."
Monkey Sparrow turned his gaze back to Wolf Cang. "I had foreseen that the Star Wolf Tribe would face a calamity. I told your grandfather not to get involved, but he insisted on doing so, risking the entire Star Wolf Tribe to stop them."
"The final result was that the Star Wolf tribe left the south in a sorry state and fled towards the Central Plains."
Wolf Cang listened silently to Monkey Sparrow's words, his expression gradually relaxing. Judging from her words, Monkey Sparrow must know something. He raised his eyes and asked, "What are you talking about?"
The monkey looked at him in surprise, "What? Wolf Ku didn't tell you anything at all?"
Lang Cang shook his head helplessly. As if remembering something, his eyes showed a slight bitterness. "I've known since I was born that the Star Wolf Tribe lives on the grasslands in the central region. My father and grandfather have never told me anything else."
"When I grew a little older, a group of people suddenly broke into the Star Wolf tribe's territory while the warriors were out hunting and burned and killed them. My father was also killed while protecting the tribe. At that time, the earth cracked, and the Star Wolf tribe was almost wiped out."
"We escaped along the way and found some other lost members of our tribe. We came all this way to find the tribe that wiped out the Star Wolf tribe and to avenge our dead people!"
After hearing his explanation of the causes and effects, the monkey sparrow looked at the wolf with complicated eyes, "I never thought that after the Star Wolf Tribe left, it would end up like this."
"I wonder if Lang Ku would regret his decision if he saw this from beside the Beast God?"
"Will you regret taking the Holy Crystal?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lang Cang suddenly looked up, "You know about Holy Crystals?!"
The monkey looked at him with a half-smile, "What, is this matter that surprises you?"
"Back then, I helped your grandfather get this Holy Crystal back from those people."
"Speaking of which, you little rascal, you didn't completely believe what I said, otherwise you wouldn't have been so secretive and wouldn't have been so evasive just now." Monkey Sparrow gave him a meaningful look.
She said casually, "Isn't it because the Star Wolf Tribe possesses the coveted Holy Crystal that those people searched for over a decade before finally joining forces to besiege them?"
Wolf Cang felt a little flustered when he saw her knowing look. His grandfather hadn't left any information, and the person in front of him was of unknown identity. He wasn't really a fool, so he couldn't just tell Monkey Sparrow all his intentions at once.
He just didn't expect that she knew about the existence of the Holy Crystal. Then his practice of only telling the monkey sparrow half of what he knew made him a laughing stock.
At this point, Lang Cang suddenly snapped back to reality, as if remembering something. He clenched his fist and looked at Hou Que with a deep gaze. "So, does that mean you know who those people are?"
The monkey met his gaze and slowly nodded.
A barely perceptible gleam of joy flickered in Lang Cang's eyes, but he suppressed it and continued, "Then do you also know about their territory?"
The monkey stared intently at him. "I know, but do you really still want to go?"
“Your grandfather and father’s examples are still there. The Star Wolf Tribe has already been weakened because of their decisions. Think carefully about whether you really want to follow in their footsteps. Those orcs are not to be trifled with.”
"If you ask me, what you should do now is lead the remaining people of your tribe to a secluded territory and live a good life, instead of gambling away the future of the entire tribe for a moment of anger."
After the monkey finished speaking, the wooden house remained silent for a long time. She stared at the person in front of her, as if looking at the male beastman from back then through him, with a strange light in her eyes.
Even she herself didn't know what kind of answer she wanted to get from Lang Cang.
