Chapter 335 Why Did You Help Me?
Before the beastmen on the mountainside could finish running out, the mountainside slid down rapidly, burying the beastmen who didn't have time to escape.

Fox Ji turned around and his expression changed drastically. "Run! Everyone run!"

It was raining heavily, and the mountain path was difficult to traverse. Even in their beast form, escaping was extremely difficult for them.

"Chief, let's head outside that big tribe and wait out this rain."

Approaching another tribe without permission would result in expulsion, but there's no better way to do it now.

"Okay, let's go."

The fastest male leads the way, and the females and cubs fall down countless times only to be pulled up by the males.

The females and cubs are the tribe's last hope; they cannot allow them to suffer any further loss.

"Almost there, just ahead. It will be safe once we get there."

Ma Qing had originally set up a patrol team to patrol the mountains, but the rain hadn't stopped, and it would be dangerous to go up the mountain at this time, so he had them patrol outside the tribe first.

"This is the heaviest rain we've had since we got here."

"Yes, judging from this smell, it probably won't stop anytime soon. Fortunately, the hunting team stockpiled some food beforehand, which should be enough to last for a few days."

As the patrol team moved forward, they heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar.

The patrol team stopped.

"You two go over there and take a look."

Two males stepped forward and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

They hadn't run far when they saw Hu Ji and his group coming this way.

This road leads in only one direction: to the Black Panther tribe.

These people are heading to their tribe.

"Go tell the squad leader that orcs are coming to the tribe and tell them to come immediately."

"Ah."

Fox Season and his companions spotted the male orc blocking their path from afar.

"Where are you going?" the male patrolman asked first.

Fox Ji stepped forward and said, "We were originally staying on the mountain temporarily, but today's heavy rain washed away the mountain, so we had no choice but to come down the mountain and find a place to take shelter from the rain."

The male patrolman frowned and said, "This is the territory of the Black Panther Tribe. You can't go there. If you want to take shelter from the rain, go somewhere else."

It wasn't that he was heartless; no one could guarantee that these orcs wouldn't have malicious intentions. If they were allowed to get too close to the tribe, and something happened, the tribe would also be affected.

Fox River emerged, supported by the other beastmen.

"We absolutely did not mean to disturb the tribe; we just wanted to avoid this heavy rain. Please let us pass."

The males of the patrol team did not move aside, and just as the standoff was about to begin, the males of the other patrol teams arrived.

The males that Hu Ji and his companions saw were all quite imposing, and their expressions turned grim. If they tried to drive them away, they would be no match for them.

“We really can’t let you go towards the tribe, but if you want to take shelter from the rain, go around from here. There’s a cave there where you can take shelter.”

Fox Ji wanted to say something more, but Fox Chuan stopped him. "Okay, thank you, we'll go now."

At Fox River's command, all the beastmen headed in another direction.

Only after they had walked a distance did Hu Ji speak, "Grandfather, why don't we beg them? Maybe they'll let us into the tribe."

Fox River shook his head. "Let's go find shelter from the rain first."

The patrol leader looked in the direction they left and said, "You guys follow them and keep an eye on them, don't let them get close to the tribe."

"Yes."

Upon reaching the open space, there was indeed a cave there. It wasn't large, but it could barely accommodate some orcs.

"Grandfather, you should go inside and take shelter from the rain, lest you catch a cold."

"I'm fine. Let the females and cubs go in first."

After settling the females and cubs, the males gathered some leaves to provide shelter, hoping the rain would end soon. But the beast world seemed oblivious to their prayers; as dawn approached, a fox spirit's startled cry echoed from the cave.

"Grandfather, what's wrong, Grandfather?"

Fox Ji, who was about to fall asleep, was startled when he heard this and stood up to go into the cave.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Brother, grandfather, grandfather has a fever."

Hu Ji was startled and stepped forward to touch Hu Chuan's body; his palm was burning hot.

"The witch doctor is gone again, what are we going to do, brother?"

"Don't be afraid. There must be medicine in this big mountain. I'll go find it now. You take good care of Grandfather."

"Brother, be careful, it's raining heavily outside."

Fox Ji walked out without looking back.

The rain outside the cave almost blurred his vision, and the rain also greatly reduced the orc's sense of smell.

Fox Ji was running and searching on the mountain. When he jumped down from a big tree, he accidentally stepped on a stone below and fell hard.

"what!"

Fox Ji was in so much pain that his face turned pale. When he tried to get up, he found that he couldn't move at all.

But his grandfather and sister were still waiting for him to come back...

Fox Ji helplessly pounded the ground, trying countless times to get up, but always falling back down.

From a tree not far away, Huang Ying watched Hu Ji's helpless appearance with a blank expression.

Feng Lin frowned.

"Let's go, it's about time."

As Fox Season fell back into the mud, Phoenix Firefly and Phoenix Forest descended from the sky and came to Fox Season's side.

Fox Ji struggled to lift her head and looked at the two of them, a wary expression on her thin face.

But in his current state, it would be easy for Huang Ying and the others to kill him.

"Are you alright? Did you get lost in the mountains?" Huang Ying squatted down, her face showing just the right amount of concern.

Fox Season was surprised; she hadn't expected her to take the initiative to show concern for her.

Feng Lin stepped forward and helped him from the mud to the tree. His large wings spread out to shield him from the rain.

Fox Ji was surprised and grateful. "Thank you. I didn't get lost in the mountains. I was looking for medicine to treat my grandfather. He has a fever."

"Doesn't the Black Panther tribe even have medicine to treat fever?"

Fox Ji lowered his eyes. "We are not beastmen from the Black Panther tribe."

Huang Ying suddenly realized.

“You are orcs from another tribe, and the Black Panther tribe cannot enter freely right now. However, your grandfather’s condition must be very dangerous, and he needs to take medicine immediately. How about this, I have a packet of dried flowers here. You can take it and exchange it with the Black Panther tribe so they can take you in.”

Fox Ji looked utterly astonished. "You, why are you helping us?"

Huang Ying smiled gently and reached out to wipe the mud off his face.

“It’s not that I want to help you, but you remind me of my younger brother. If he had met someone like me back then, perhaps he wouldn’t have died.”

The doubts in Fox Season's eyes gradually dissipated.

Huang Ying took out a leather bag and handed it to him, saying, "Many of these dried flowers can be used as medicine. Take them to the Black Panther tribe in exchange, and they will definitely agree to let you in."

Fox Ji stared blankly at the animal skin bag in front of him, and slowly reached out his hand.

"How can I thank you?"

"I will come to you when I need help."

Watching Hu Ji stagger away, Huang Ying revealed a triumphant sneer.
