Chapter 150 Tiger Tribe
Lin Yuxi was thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, but she looked calm as she squatted down, crushed the herbs skillfully, applied them on Jiang Qingqing's ankle, and then bandaged it with a cloth.
"Okay, try to stand up and walk around." Lin Yuxi said.
Jiang Qingqing stood up carefully, took a few steps, and said in surprise: "It really doesn't hurt anymore. Wow, Lin Yuxi, you are so amazing! Did your grandfather's ancestors have an imperial physician?"
Lin Yuxi smiled. She didn't know whether her grandfather's family had ever had an imperial physician, but her family had had more than one imperial physician. "Then let's keep going and try to find a populated place as soon as possible."
Jiang Qingqing nodded, and the two continued to move forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two continued to move forward in the forest with difficulty.
Looking at the seemingly endless forest, Jiang Qingqing was filled with panic. She kept complaining along the way. Lin Yuxi only responded occasionally, but in her heart she was thinking about what would happen next.
Should we change the route? But if we change the route, what if we miss the orcs who come to hunt?
"Lin Yuxi, do you think we won't be trapped here forever? Why does this forest seem to have no end? Can we still get out?" Jiang Qingqing asked.
Lin Yuxi glanced at her and said, "No, as long as we don't give up, we will definitely be able to get out."
"But I'm so hungry." Jiang Qingqing touched her stomach, feeling a little aggrieved.
Lin Yuxi said: "Hold on a little longer, maybe we can find food ahead."
At this moment, Lin Yuxi suddenly heard a low roar. Her heart tightened, and she pulled Jiang Qingqing to hide behind a big tree.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qingqing asked nervously.
Lin Yuxi signaled her not to make a sound. Through the gaps between the leaves, she indeed saw a huge beast walking towards them.
The beast was huge, with jet-black fur, and its sharp claws left deep marks on the ground.
Jiang Qingqing was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she tightly grasped Lin Yuxi's arm. Lin Yuxi was also a little nervous, but she knew that the orcs of the Tiger Tribe were hunting nearby, so they were just safe this time, giving the heroine a chance to get close to the tribe.
Lin Yuxi calmly observed the beast's movements, looking for a chance to escape. She whispered to Jiang Qingqing, "When I count to one, two, three, we'll run in the other direction."
Jiang Qingqing nodded tremblingly. After Lin Yuxi counted to three, the two of them rushed out. Seeing this, the beast immediately chased after them.
They ran desperately, and Lin Yuxi used the terrain to create obstacles for the beasts from time to time. Just when they were about to be exhausted, Lin Yuxi finally saw a group of figures not far ahead.
Lin Yuxi and Jiang Qingqing ran towards the group of figures. When they got closer, they found that they were a group of orcs wearing animal skins. When one of the leading orcs saw them, he immediately raised his spear and looked at them vigilantly.
Lin Yuxi hurriedly stopped and said with a gasp: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, we just got lost in the forest..." Before she finished her words.
Jiang Qingqing seemed to be unable to stop and crashed into the leading orc, then fell into the orc's arms. She reflexively hugged his neck with both hands and shouted, "Ahhh, help! There is a wild beast!"
The orc was obviously frightened by this sudden action. He looked at Jiang Qingqing in astonishment, his body completely stiff.
The other orcs also widened their eyes with an expression of disbelief. Seeing this scene, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. She thought that this heroine really knew how to add drama to herself. This was too exaggerated!
She quickly stepped forward and explained, "I'm sorry, she was frightened by a wild animal, please don't mind it."
At this time, Jiang Qingqing also realized that her behavior was inappropriate. She blushed and stepped out of the orc's arms, smiling awkwardly.
The leading orc frowned, still holding the spear tightly, and looked back and forth between Lin Yuxi and Jiang Qingqing, and asked in a serious tone: "Which tribe are you females from? Why are you alone in the Sunset Forest? Don't you know that it is very dangerous here? Where is your guardian?"
Lin Yuxi took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and replied: "We are from a tribe far away, and we accidentally lost our way in the forest."
Jiang Qingqing nodded in agreement, but her eyes kept glancing at the orcs' weapons. She bit her lips nervously and twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands.
The orc snorted coldly, "Speak clearly! This is not something that can be easily glossed over!" As he spoke, he poked the ground with his spear.
Lin Yuxi calmed down and said in detail: "Our tribe encountered a disaster and had to migrate. We got separated from our tribesmen on the way and ended up here by accident."
At this moment, the ferocious beast suddenly chased over from the bushes nearby, and pounced on the crowd with its fangs and claws bared. The leading orc reacted very quickly, leaning sideways, swinging the spear in his hand fiercely, and accurately stabbed the beast's vital point. The beast howled and fell to the ground without any movement.
Jiang Qingqing screamed in fear and hid behind Lin Yuxi. Although Lin Yuxi was also frightened, she still pretended to be calm.
The leading orc glanced at Jiang Qingqing who was hiding behind Lin Yuxi, his expression softened a little, and said, "Don't be afraid, female, with us here, this beast can't hurt you."
Lin Yuxi looked at the orc gratefully and said, "Thank you."
The leading orc waved his hand and said, "Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you follow us back to the Tiger Tribe? I am Hu Lie from the Tiger Tribe, and I am the leader of the hunting team. Our Tiger Tribe is one of the largest tribes around here, and we can definitely protect your safety!"
The other members of the hunting team knew what the captain meant, and they quickly stepped forward to introduce themselves.
"Hello, little female, I'm Yong! Although I can't compare to our captain in our tribe, I'm not bad either. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me!"
"I'm Wei. The fruits I find are the sweetest. Many females love them!"
They have never seen such a fair and tender female before? Since they haven't seen their guardians, then we can assume that they don't have any. In this way, everyone has a chance, right?
Lin Yuxi and Jiang Qingqing looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and nodded. This forest is indeed not a place to stay for a long time. It would be great to find a tribe to settle down!
Along the way, Lin Yuxi and Jiang Qingqing followed behind the orcs. They saw that these orcs were alert to their surroundings from time to time and took good care of them.
After a while, we finally arrived at the orc tribe. The buildings in the tribe were simple and rough, and there were many orcs busy around.
Seeing that the hunting team brought back two fair and tender females, many orcs gathered around and looked at Lin Yuxi and Jiang Qingqing curiously.
An older orc came over and asked the leader Hu Lie, "What's going on?"
Hu Lie briefly recounted what had happened. The older orc nodded, looked at Lin Yuxi and Jiang Qingqing, and said with a smile: "Females, since you are here, just stay in the tribe with peace of mind."
