Chapter 382 Playing in Mud Puddles

Until the messenger's figure completely disappeared from sight.

Wu Li's face instantly darkened, and he kicked over a wooden bucket next to him: "What utter bullshit! When did I collude with the Pig Dog Tribe?"

He suddenly remembered something and abruptly looked at the orc beside him: "Where are the Wuhuan? Still no news?"

The orc shook his head tremblingly: "Chieftain, Lord Wuhuan is probably... not coming back."

Wu Li's face turned deathly pale instantly; there was nothing he didn't understand.

Beast King City is avenging the Wolf Tribe.

More precisely, it was the new Beast King Bai Qi who vented Su Xiyue's anger.

……

The Pig Dog tribe was even more confused. They did often rob and plunder, but they really hadn't done anything recently, let alone provoked the Beast King City.

How did they suddenly get accused of colluding with the Winged Tiger Tribe and having ulterior motives?

Dog Sheng, the chieftain of the Pig Dog tribe, received the edict from the Beast King City envoy with a bewildered look on his face. Looking at the large amount of supplies required as tribute, he almost couldn't help but curse.

Are they trying to take advantage of their Pig Dog tribe?
Although their tribe often raided other tribes, those were all small tribes, and they didn't have anything good to offer.

The Beast King City demands so much tribute from them, including beast crystals. Isn't that tantamount to taking their lives?
What's most infuriating is that the order specifically warned against stealing, otherwise the punishment would be doubled.

Dog Sheng was almost dizzy with anger, but he could only swallow his pride and bear it, because the other party was the Beast King City.

If he dares to refuse, the army of Beast King City will probably crush their Pig Dog tribe on the spot.

It's because they're inherently dishonest.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, our Pig Dog Tribe will strictly obey the Beast King's decree and pay tribute on time every year without the slightest delay."

Gou Sheng forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and respectfully accepted the imperial edict with both hands.

The messenger gave him a cold glance, then turned and strode away.

Only after the envoys disappeared did Gou Sheng's face change, turning as black as ink: "Damn it, which bastard framed our Pig Dog tribe?"

Although their Zhigou tribe has a bad reputation, they have always been openly robbing and never resort to underhanded tricks.

This time, being suddenly accused of such a serious crime by Beast King City and being asked to pay so much tribute is practically pushing them to the brink of death.

If we find out which bastard is behind this, we'll make sure he gets his hands on them.

Meanwhile, in the back mountains of the wolf tribe.

"Rumble--"

Another loud bang was heard, and a small mushroom cloud rose again from somewhere on the back mountain.

Xuanming withdrew his hand, looking at the ground in front of him where a large crater had been blasted open, a hint of smugness appearing on his wild and unrestrained handsome face.

He has now mastered several fire spells. Due to the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within his body, the fire spells he casts are extremely powerful, far surpassing ordinary fire spells.

"Haha, I succeeded."

Xuanming turned his head and looked at Feng Su, who was also practicing magic not far away. He raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Show-off, want to have a competition and see who is more powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Su raised her peach blossom eyes slightly and quickly pinched her fingers.

In an instant, a cluster of flames flew out and transformed into a fire phoenix in mid-air. The phoenix's cry swept across the sky and rushed straight at Xuanming's face.

Clearly, they wanted to test the other party's strength.

"Good thing you came. I'm not afraid of you."

Xuanming, on the contrary, laughed heartily, and the red lotus karmic fire in his palm instantly transformed into a ferocious Nine Nether Demon Wolf, which crashed head-on into the oncoming fire phoenix.

"boom--"

The Fire Phoenix and the Nine Netherworld Demon Wolf, transformed from the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, fiercely tore and collided in mid-air. The dazzling flames illuminated the entire back mountain, the temperature was extremely high, and the air waves rolled.

While both of them remembered that this was a competition, they controlled themselves very well, practicing and competing only in an open area behind the mountain, and would not actually burn down the forest behind the mountain.

If they really burn down the forest behind the mountain, then those two will have to be punished.

Before the dust had settled, a dark figure silently appeared at the edge of the battle.

Mo Lin's figure appeared and disappeared in the swirling dust; he didn't even glance at the two men locked in a fierce fight.

He simply raised his hand expressionlessly.

A dense darkness flowed from his palm as if it were alive.

It instantly swallowed the dazzling firelight and light, shrouding that area in a desolate darkness, as if the entire sky had suddenly darkened, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Day turns into night in a second.

"Tsk, that black worm, it's ruining my mood again."

Xuanming's voice sounded particularly irritable in the darkness, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire hissed and flared up again in his palm.

Like a solitary lamp, it illuminated his wild and unruly face, which was filled with displeasure.

"Yeah, Mo Lin, you're such a spoilsport."

Feng Su brushed off non-existent dust from his fiery red feather robe with displeasure. Phoenix fire emanated from his palm, making his peach blossom eyes sparkle. "I was just getting into the exciting part of my duel with that brute, why did you have to cause trouble?"

Mo Lin withdrew his hand, and the surrounding darkness receded like a tide, instantly restoring light.

He glanced at the two of them coldly and uttered a single word: "Noisy."

The words were concise and to the point, yet they sent a shiver down my spine. "Ha."

A cold, mocking laugh rang out.

Qingzhu was leaning against a surviving ancient tree not far away, her emerald eyes sweeping over the messy scene.

"You two think the back mountain is too intact, so you came here specifically to practice 'enemy attack' for the tribe's orcs? If you make any more noise, Yue'er might have to whip you with her vines."

His tone was indifferent, but his sharp tongue remained undiminished.

"Qingzhu is right."

A gentle voice, tinged with laughter, rang out.

Bai Qi's figure strolled over from further back, the phantom of the ten-tailed celestial fox flashing past behind him, making his androgynous handsome face appear even more unfathomable.

His gaze swept over the ravaged woods behind the mountain, its surface riddled with holes, as if it had been through a major battle, and the corners of his mouth deepened in a smile.

“Exchanging magical techniques is a good thing, but the noise... is indeed disturbing the people. Just now, Ye Ling transmitted a message to me saying that the patrol team has sent people to inquire for the fifth time whether other tribes have launched a sneak attack.”

Xuanming and Feng Su immediately felt embarrassed.

Xuanming, his face dark, cursed, "Stop pretending, you old fox. It's not like you haven't been practicing your magic here yourself."

“Of course I practiced too, but I knew my limits, unlike you guys who made such a big commotion.”

Bai Qi casually tossed out this sentence, successfully making Xuan Ming and Feng Su's faces even darker.

Feng Su tossed her hair, trying to regain her composure: "How will we know if we've mastered it or not if we don't make a scene?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, as if it had turned into a frozen wasteland in an instant.

Several people looked at the same spot at the same time.

Suddenly, Ye Ling appeared under an ancient tree. Her silver eyes swept over the mess around her, and her lips twitched.

"Whoever blew the hole is responsible for filling it in. There are many young children in the tribe. It would be funny if one of them accidentally fell in and couldn't climb out, or was buried in the dirt."

He wasn't joking. Tribal cubs love to run around everywhere and often come to the back mountain to play in the mud and sand, crawl through dog holes, jump in mud puddles, and so on. It's perfectly normal for them.

Ye Ling had barely finished speaking.

In the distance, Silver Blade, Black Fiend, Frost Flame, and Mo Lin's eight snake cubs all rushed over.

Behind them followed Xuanba, Xuanyan, Zhuohua, three little phoenixes, and two young dragons, one golden and one blue.

Silver Blade, who was running at the front, suddenly ran to Ye Ling's feet, and with a flash of white light, he turned into a chubby pink dumpling.

He hugged Ye Ling's leg, pointed with his little finger at the big craters blasted out by the magic, and said in a childish voice, "Father, we want to play hopscotch."

The largest Silver Blade, Black Fiend, Frostflame, and eight snake cubs can freely switch between their original forms and the small orcs.

He is already able to speak, but he doesn't speak very fluently yet. He utters words one by one, and his pronunciation is not very standard.

Black Fiend, Frostflame, and the eight snake cubs also transformed into beastman cubs, tugging at Night Feather and Ink Lin's trouser legs, and saying in childish voices that they wanted to jump into the pit.

Xuanba, Xuanyan, and Zhuohua, the three little phoenixes and two young dragons, are still too young to speak or transform.

But that doesn't mean they don't understand anything. In fact, their true forms are much more convenient to move around in than their orc cub forms, and they've already slipped away to play in those pits.

Ye Ling and Mo Lin both turned pale. What could they say if their own kid wanted to jump into the pit?
Can we really say no?
Obviously not.

The two looked at Xuanming and Feng Su at the same time, their meaning quite clear.

You've created this mess, so you'd better deal with it yourselves.

Xuanming and Feng Su: "..."

What a disappointing kid.

The two looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads away.

They rarely get to fight so hard, so who remembers to control their strength?

Anyway, they don't remember.

Now look what's happened! The pit has been dug too deep, and now my own kid wants to jump into it.

Bai Qi picked up the little fox Zhuohua from the pit, patted the dust off his daughter, and then walked away leisurely.

Young ladies, why are you jumping in mud puddles? You'll just get all dirty.

I had only taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a "thump-thump" sound behind me.

Unable to resist turning around, I saw that the two little wolf cubs, Xuanba and Xuanyan, had already rolled into the largest pit.

Excitedly digging in the dirt, covered in dust, they howled and barked at Silverblade and the others on the bank, seemingly showing off that they had claimed the best and biggest pit first.

Xuanming not only ignored it, but squatted down by the pit and chuckled: "Good lad, you know how to pick a spot better than your father did back then."

Qingzhu's lips twitched, and she uttered two words indifferently: "Naive."

Then she walked away gracefully, not caring who would clean up the mess.

With a dark expression, Feng Su pulled his daughter Feng Ling out of the pit, leaving the other two boys to their own devices.

Xuanyuan Ming practiced his magic near a stream, ignoring the commotion as if it were none of his business.

As for the two kids playing in the mud puddles, he didn't care at all.

It doesn't matter how they play; it's good that they're tough and don't get sick easily.

Anyway, there's a brute watching over things.
