Chapter 448 Finally here
Those involved knew just how important the items they brought back were. If only the Kuma tribe knew about the crystal core, their or the Teng tribe's future situation would be extremely dangerous.

His bloodshot eyes stared at the approaching group from the Kuma tribe. Even if he could only hold them off for a moment, he hoped it would help the captain and the others increase their distance.

The pain from his broken leg contorted his face, making him appear even more ferocious in the eyes of the Kuma tribe's orc warriors.

"You want to rebel against the powerful orc warriors of the Kuma tribe?"

The orc messenger sneered, his voice filled with contempt.

The tips of his fingers gleamed with a cold light—the light of the orc's claws. With a single swipe of his claws, the weak orc warrior from the Vine tribe would be utterly annihilated, just like his predecessors.

The orcish messenger felt a surge of excitement, his blood boiling: "Leave this orc to me."

The orc warriors of the Kuma tribe narrowed their eyes and nodded silently.

Their own captain has been provoked to kill.

It took the group only a few breaths to reach the wounded orc warrior from the Vine Tribe.

When the orc warriors of the Orvine Tribe saw several orc warriors of the Kuma Tribe with ferocious expressions grinning as they rushed towards them, they did not flinch. Instead, they drew their claws, their muscles tense, and prepared to charge forward to buy even just a breath of time for their people.

"Ah! Damn it!"

Just as he was about to rush forward, the animal skin around his waist seemed to be pulled, and he thrashed about in place but could not move an inch.

In contrast to his own complete escape, several Kuma tribe orc warriors who had just been displaying ferocious expressions were screaming as they fell to the ground not far ahead.

Especially the orc messenger who had just swung his claws to deliver a fatal blow; his claws were now covered in blood, and the intense pain contorted his face.

What happened?

"Are you okay?"

A familiar voice rang out behind him. The wounded orc shuddered at the sound and turned around in disbelief. He saw that all his tribesmen, who had run away earlier, were now standing behind him, looking at him with concern.

The orc's eyes widened in fury: "Captain, how can my life compare to the important matters of the tribe? How could you come back!"

He felt a mix of gratitude, self-reproach, and utter bewilderment.

If saving him leads to all the crystal cores they obtained falling into the hands of the Kuma tribe, he would be a sinner against the entire tribe.

The burly orc Aman glanced at him slowly, and seeing that he had only injured one leg and had no other injuries, he felt relieved. But when he thought of the orc warriors killed by the Kuma tribe, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"We can't escape. With so many golden orc warriors, it's only a matter of time before we get caught."

As she spoke, she stretched out an arm and lifted the orc warrior to sit on the ground beside her: "This is a strange witchcraft that the little female shaman from the Snow Tiger tribe gave to Rou Rou back in the Arctic Forest."

As he spoke, he looked up and glanced around.

Upon hearing this, the wounded orc warrior looked around and noticed something different: a hazy halo of light surrounded them, protecting them.

So, was that the aura that injured the Kuma tribe orc warrior just now?

Rou Rou pouted and squatted on the ground, drawing circles: "Yue said that although this barrier can protect us from harm, we also cannot move. Once the barrier dissipates, we will still be in danger."

At this point, they could only huddle inside and do nothing.

The orc warriors were taken aback upon hearing this, and their expressions turned serious. The confrontation with the Kuma tribe had finally arrived.

"Let's rest first, eat some mushrooms, and then set up some things around the area to make it safer."

The burly orc quickly composed himself and gave the order.

With something to do, everyone stopped thinking about the despair they were facing and started eating mushrooms that had sprouted from their heads.

Meanwhile, the orcish messengers, who were not far from the barrier, looked at the familiar barrier and were all in a bad mood.

Although they had never personally come into contact with the transparent object, they had seen it many times and were extremely familiar with it.

This is the thing that the Chinese shaman used to release around the animal skin tent every time he rested.

Once, when they returned from a hunt, they found a ferocious beast that had been dead for a long time behind the tent.

I used to think it was handled personally by the Chinese shaman, but now...
The excruciating pain in his claws and body told him that this thing possessed such immense power, and he couldn't help but feel even more fearful of the Chinese shaman he had met a few times.

The Kuma tribe orc warriors around them clearly recognized the barrier: "Captain, isn't this the great shaman from the Arctic Forest?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was silenced by a fierce glare from the orc messenger.

After a moment, he stood up and looked at an orc warrior beside him: "Go and tell the wizards what happened here, and ask them to come over and see if they can break this barrier."

That being said, I didn't have much hope. The barrier that allowed that great shaman to sleep peacefully in the polar forest where ferocious beasts could appear at any time was definitely not a simple thing.

His deep gaze swept over the orchid tribe within the barrier. How could these people possess a barrier erected by a great shaman of the Chinese civilization?
His gaze shifted slightly and landed on the little female who was squatting on the ground, pouting and drawing circles. He had just seen clearly that it was this little female who threw something out, which created the barrier.

"Where did you get this barrier from?"

The orc messenger looked at the little female crouching on the ground, his tone deep.

Rou Rou wasn't afraid of him at all. She just lazily raised her eyelids, snorted loudly, turned around and faced them with her little bottom, continuing to draw circles.

The burly orc walked to the edge of the barrier, looked at the orc's still bleeding hand, and his eyes trembled for a moment, but quickly returned to calm.

"You know about barriers too?"

"Stop talking nonsense. The captain is asking you a question, just answer directly. Did you steal the Great Witch? Uh!"

A Kuma tribe orc warrior stepped forward angrily, uttering harsh words, but the next second his own captain punched him in the stomach. After groaning in pain, he shut his mouth.

When his questioning gaze met his captain's fierce eyes, he swallowed hard several times before retreating to the back, sweat beading on his forehead.

What they didn't see was that the burly orc's pupils constricted sharply upon hearing the name of the Great Shaman, and his fists clenched instantly at his sides. But the next second, he regained his composure; only he himself knew the shock he had felt at that moment.

The orc messenger looked at the burly orc with a sinister gaze: "It was your tribe that was following us first. Even if you die here in a few days, you deserve it. Even with this barrier, it can't protect you forever."

"Hand over the crystal cores quickly, or I'll make your deaths easier."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin He not far away and said, "You all saw what happened to that orc from your tribe before, right? The water beasts in the river are really hoping to eat something different."

The threatening tone in his words couldn't be clearer.

The burly orc chuckled: "Even if it's only for a little while, we'll hold out. If you're so capable, then break through the barrier and capture us."

As he spoke, he patted the bulge on his chest: "The crystal core is right here."

Having said that, seemingly unwilling to waste any more words with the orc warriors of the Kuma tribe, he turned and sat down next to the female shaman, stretching out his long arms to embrace her before closing his eyes.

In order to get back to their tribe before winter, they barely rested along the way. Now that they finally have the protection of the barrier, they naturally want to make the most of their time to rest.

Burying his head in the little female's neck, the burly orc suddenly opened his eyes: "Just now, the orc warriors of the Kuma tribe mentioned the Great Shaman when they saw this barrier."

The warm breath brushed against the skin of her neck, causing the female to shrink back slightly, but she was drawn in by the orc's words the next second.

Her round eyes shone with an astonishing brightness: "You mean to say that the barrier Yue gave me was a gift from that great Chinese shaman?"

The high shaman's magic! Although a disciple of the shaman like her is highly regarded in the tribe because of her great talent, it is still very difficult to meet the high shaman.

Besides
She had never seen her own shaman store witchcraft on a strange animal skin, nor had she seen it with the shaman of their old rival tribe, the Kuma tribe.

Thinking of this, the little female shaman's eyes shone brightly. If that's the case, then that great shaman of the Huaxia tribe must be more powerful than the great shaman of their tribe and the great shaman of the Kuma tribe.

Taking a few deep breaths, the little female witch tried to calm her wildly beating heart.

The burly orc grunted, "So we have no doubt about the barrier's sturdiness; now we just need to wait."

He didn't finish his sentence, but looked in the direction they had fled, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

After resting for a long time, footsteps came from the direction from which the group had run. The orc warriors from the two tribes looked over at the sound. The Kuma tribe members had smug smiles on their faces, while the Huoteng tribe members did not look so good.

The newcomers were several shamans from the Kuma tribe and the orc warriors who stayed behind to protect them.

Looking at the orc warriors of the Vine Tribe protected within the barrier, the four wizards all had very solemn expressions.

After leaving some orc warriors to guard them, they retreated a short distance: "Want to find out where that barrier came from?"

As the orc messenger reached out to heal his healer, he shook his head with a gloomy expression: "No, not to mention the guys from the Vine Tribe, they went to the Arctic Forest to hunt ferocious beasts after us, and it's very likely that they also encountered that great shaman from the Huaxia Tribe."

Such a protective barrier has only ever been seen with that great shaman.

Hearing this, the four wizards felt even heavier. The methods and powerful magic of that Chinese wizard were unlike anything they had ever seen from their own wizards, which was why they chose to curry favor after witnessing his abilities.

But now, the Huoteng tribe, which they were chasing, has acquired the abilities of that great shaman. Could it be that they have some connection with that great shaman?
This series of speculations made them feel terrible.

"Why think so much? It's just providing them with a barrier. As long as we kill them all, the great shaman won't know."

Just then, the healing wizard withdrew his magical power and suddenly spoke up.

Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at him.

But he remained calm: "Our Kuma tribe does not want to offend that Huaxia tribe's great shaman, but there is no need to be so afraid. We are also a super tribe, and we also have the protection of a great shaman."

The healing wizard's voice was calm and solemn, instantly dispelling much of the anxiety in everyone's hearts.

Even the orc messenger breathed a sigh of relief.

The main reason was that the great Chinese shaman had left such a powerful impression on them in the polar forest.

The healing wizard glanced at them, then strode forward towards the Orvine Tribe members, standing outside the barrier with several Gold-rank orc warriors guarding him.

"Hand over the crystal core. Although this barrier is a spell of the Great Shaman, it will slowly disappear as the power of the spell diminishes. How long can you hold on?"

and"

He then sneered, "Do you think you can escape?"

Trapped here, they face certain death.

Seeing the healing wizard's state, the little female wizard was instantly furious: "So what if it's a waste of time? Winter is coming soon, so you can stay here with us and welcome the first snowstorm."

Although there was fear in her eyes, her expression still carried a hint of stubbornness.

But her words made the healing wizard's face turn completely dark.

The first snowstorm of winter can suddenly turn the weather, which was just bearable, into freezing cold, and the cold wind mixed with heavy snow seems to blow straight into people's bones.

Although they were protected by witchcraft, they had no way to withstand such weather. Even the physically strong orc warriors, protected by the power of the Beast God, could not endure it, let alone the pure humans.

When the first snow of winter arrives, everyone stays in their caves, prepares food, and absolutely does not go out. Even the fiercest wild animals stay in their burrows.

Orc warriors from two tribes faced off on the banks of the Linhe River. Many tribes on the opposite bank also witnessed the situation. One of the tribes' leaders gave a subtle look to several orc warriors behind him, then calmly watched their figures disappear into the mountains.

"Chief, what's wrong?"

An older orc warrior beside the young orc frowned as he looked at him.

The orc's lips curled slightly: "We're barely surviving. If we can get some food by helping the Vine Tribe this time, a few of our people might survive this winter."

After he finished speaking, the many tribesmen around him fell silent. Looking at the barren mountain range behind them, and then turning to look at the lush forest on the opposite bank, their desire for life instantly overwhelmed them.
