Chapter 397 Entering the Depths of the Dense Forest
Chapter 397 Entering the Depths of the Dense Forest
As soon as the bone whistle sounded, Wolf Mo Baolu had already cautiously drawn his bone knife and was on guard when he heard what Monkey Yuan said.
The warriors of Beast City silently stepped forward and, with perfect coordination, surrounded the Golden Monkey Beastmen, glaring at them with hostility.
Seeing that the beastmen who had just been polite to them had suddenly turned into such ferocious creatures, Hou Yuan quickly explained, "Wait!"
Lang Cang stared intently at his face with his deep eyes. After a long while, Lang Cang gently raised his hand and made a gesture. Upon seeing this, the soldiers stepped back to make room for him.
Lang Cang walked a few steps to the empty space, his deep, dark blue eyes fixed on his prey. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Seeing his fierce appearance, Hou Yuan was afraid that the beastmen would kill him and his companions at any moment, so he blurted out in one breath, "It's not that we're going to capture you, nor that we're not going to stop you from leaving, it's just that the sorceress wants to see you!"
"Besides, how could a few of us orcs possibly defeat you? I just received news that the sorceress sensed a familiar aura, which might be an old friend visiting, so that's why I said what I did!"
"Don't worry, the sorceress will definitely let you go after she sees us!"
After Hou Yuan finished speaking, fearing that Lang Cang wouldn't believe them, he raised a hand and said, "If you don't believe me, I can swear to the Beast God!"
When Lang Cang heard him say that, he silently considered his words. This half-grown beastman didn't seem to be lying.
But he just said that the sorceress said an old friend had come to see them? None of the orcs in their group have ever been here before, so what kind of old friend is this?
Lang Cang racked his brains but still couldn't figure out the origin of this sorceress.
Since that's the case, and they can't get out on their own, we might as well go with them and make plans after we see them in person.
Thinking this to himself, he took a step back and gestured for them to follow, "Then lead the way."
After Lang Cang finished speaking, the warriors of Ten Thousand Beasts City instantly inserted their ancient swords into the hilts beside them and resumed their expressionless demeanor.
Hou Yuan was utterly dumbfounded by their two decisive and straightforward expressions. Just a moment ago they looked like they wanted to devour them, but now they've changed completely. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
However, he dared not provoke them again. With his limited intelligence, Monkey Plains vaguely knew that he could not afford to offend these orcs.
Even though their Golden Monkey Clan had a large number of beastmen, these dozens of male beastmen were disciplined, tall, and strong. Their muscles looked like they could kill ten of their clansmen with one punch!
Monkey Yuan muttered to himself, "I wonder why the sorceress wants to see this group of evil spirits."
They were all incredibly fierce. Although the one in the lead didn't look it, the fact that he could lead so many powerful orcs meant he was no pushover.
Regardless of what Hou Yuan was thinking, he obediently led them to the territory of the Golden Monkey Tribe.
The Golden Monkey Tribe is located deep in the dense forest. To prevent these golden monkey beastmen from causing trouble, they travel on foot, which takes them half a day.
Upon truly entering the core area of the Golden Monkey Tribe, one is greeted by towering ancient trees all around. Each tree is as thick as three or four orcs could encircle, with massive root systems that extend deep into the ground.
The tree trunks were covered with moss and vines, with thick, long vines hanging down, and many monkeys used the vines to leap between the ancient trees.
Houses stand tall above and beneath the canopy of the ancient tree. Lang Cang looked at the ancient tree in front of him with some surprise. The trunk of the ancient tree had been hollowed out and the original material of the tree had been used to make separate rooms. They had actually hollowed out the trunk to make tree houses.
Lang Cang looked at the exquisite treehouse in front of him with great interest. These golden monkey beastmen were quite clever.
The appearance of the Beastmen of the Ten Thousand Beasts immediately attracted the attention of some Golden Monkey Beastmen, who curiously peered over from behind the treehouse.
"Hey, Shuang, look over there!" A golden monkey orc nudged her companion. "There are actually outside orcs in our tribe!"
As soon as Hou Shuang turned his head, he saw the group of beastmen behind Hou Yuan. The leader, Lang Cang, was tall and handsome with a straight posture and deep blue eyes like the sea.
A majestic eagle perched on his left shoulder, making him look even more imposing and powerful!
However, he just felt cold and aloof, his handsome face was expressionless, and he seemed unapproachable.
Monkey Double blinked, thinking the beastman was incredibly handsome. She pursed her lips slightly, "It must be the group of beastmen that the sorceress had Monkey Yuan and the others bring back..."
As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously drifted towards Lang Cang.
Seeing Hou Shuang's dazed look, Hou Xi waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Hey, wake up, snap out of it!"
"What are you looking at? You seem so fascinated." Monkey turned his head to look more closely and immediately spotted the exceptionally handsome male orc.
Recalling Hou Shuang's stunned expression just now, he turned around and looked at Hou Shuang with a slightly teasing look, "What? Has the daughter of our Golden Monkey tribe's chief finally taken a fancy to a male beastman?"
Hearing him say that, Hou Shuang quickly covered Hou Xi's mouth and glared at him fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about? We only met once! How could I have fallen for him?"
Houxi smiled and agreed with her, "Oh yes, you're right."
Hou Shuang was the most beautiful sub-beastman in their Golden Monkey tribe. She was petite and plump, with a fair and delicate face that was exceptionally cute, but she was a little spoiled.
She is the daughter of the chieftain of the Golden Monkey tribe, and is highly sought after by many male beastmen in the tribe, so it's perfectly normal for her to be a little spoiled.
Despite having so many suitors, Hou Shuang didn't fancy any of them. Yet this time, she actually developed feelings for the orc she met for the first time!
Monkey couldn't help but sigh, "It's all over now." He had a feeling that the hopes of the male beastmen in the tribe were about to be dashed.
Wolf Cang here has exceptionally sharp senses and had already noticed that there were beastmen watching him not far away, but he didn't care. "Where is your sorceress? After you've seen her, you can send us out."
"Hey, Yuan!" Taking advantage of Hou Shuang's inattention, Hou Xi broke free from Hou Shuang's hand and jumped up to greet Hou Yuan and the others, "Hey, here!"
When Hou Yuan saw Hou Shuang, he couldn't relax at all. "Wait for me for a moment."
Lang Cang frowned, but still stood still and waited as instructed.
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Hou Xi with a smile, "Sister, what are you and Xi doing here?"
"I have several pretty little flowers growing here. Just a couple of days ago, Shuang told me she wanted a flower wreath, so we came over," Houxi explained.
His gaze unconsciously drifted behind Hou Yuan. "Yuan, what's the background of those beastmen? The sorceress actually let them in."
The Golden Monkey Clan had been living in seclusion for a long time, and this place was basically deserted, with only their tribe living here. He had never seen any outside beastmen enter the tribe's territory in his entire life.
How could these beastmen get the sorceress to specifically request a meeting with them?
Upon hearing Hou Xi's question, Hou Shuang tilted his head slightly, his ears unconsciously twitching up gently.
Monkey noticed her cautious demeanor and chuckled inwardly, "Serves you right for being so stubborn!"
