The difficulty lies in convincing Inukaze.
The best person to tell Quanfeng about this would be Yingxi, who saw it with his own eyes. However, Yingxi's beast form was too large, so even the priest of the Wushan tribe could not sense it.
But such a large beast-like shape is easily recognizable to anyone with eyes.
Yu Ji and Ying Xi discussed sending a low-level clansman. A low-level clansman would have a smaller beast form. Going at night would make their size less visible, greatly reducing the chances of being exposed.
Shen Nong raised her hand and gently patted Yu Ji's shoulder, interrupting their conversation, "Stop thinking about it, just go to Yingxi."
He then pointed to himself and said, "I'll go too."
Seeing that Shen Nong didn't continue, Ze called out, "Priest..."
Shen Nong then pointed to Ze, "And him, that makes a total of three."
Yu Ji was a little confused and tried to explain to Shen Nong, "Eagle Creek's beast form is too big and easy to spot."
Shen Nong nodded, "Yes, I know."
"Then what..."
"Don't worry." Shen Nong knew Yu Ji's concerns, and he smiled, "I have a way to make him shrink from his beast form."
Wushan Tribe.
Inufu's wounds are slowly healing. Although he is still very weak, as long as he stops bleeding, recovery is only a matter of time.
Yang Wu entered the cave with a handful of wild vegetables in one hand and a piece of dry, hard meat in the other.
He placed the food in front of Quanfeng and asked, "Is the wound on your back bleeding today?"
Quanfeng sat up and grabbed a few still-dripping wild vegetables, stuffing them into his mouth.
Yang Wu tapped the piece of meat with his chin, "Eat meat."
Quanfeng wiped the water from his mouth, chewed on some wild vegetables, and mumbled, "I don't want to eat."
Yang Wu didn't try to persuade him any further. He sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the fire not far away. Inside the cave, the only sounds were the crackling of burning branches, the sound of Quan Feng eating wild vegetables, and the two of them breathing.
Do you think things will get better for our tribe in the future?
Yang Wu suddenly spoke, breaking the previous false silence. Quan Feng stopped chewing on the wild vegetables, unsure how to respond.
Will things get better?
At first, Quanfeng thought the tribe would get better. But now, he's really not sure.
Sometimes, Quanfeng would wonder if the tribe would be destroyed by their current priest.
After a moment of silence, Yangwu sighed.
"Chieftain, I miss the priest." Yangwu's voice was very soft, and he seemed a little dazed. "Our Wuqing priest."
Quan Feng was slightly taken aback, then looked at the dark-skinned priest...
Who in the entire Wushan tribe doesn't miss him?
Before his emotions could settle, Quanfeng sensed something unusual outside the cave.
Who is it?
Inu-kaze put down the wild vegetables in his hand, turned around sharply, and assumed an attack stance.
He sensed a powerful orc aura, though he couldn't pinpoint its exact level. The immense power made it difficult for him to breathe.
Yang Wu also sensed something was wrong, stood up warily, and slowly moved towards the shadows, preparing to pounce from the dark.
There was no one guarding the cave outside Quanfeng's cave, which allowed Shen Nong to communicate with Quanfeng without alerting anyone.
As Shen Nong helped the three of them return to their normal size, Yingxi felt herself suddenly grow taller. Although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already in turmoil.
As I walked forward, I wasn't paying attention to my footing and tripped and fell hard.
Then, a wary male voice came from inside the cave.
Who is it?
They have been discovered.
Yingxi quickly got up from the ground, his expression still serious, but his face was a shade redder than before. He said to Shen Nong, "I didn't see that stone..."
Although there were no guards in front of the Dogwind Cave, the Wushan Tribe did have orcs patrolling at night. Shen Nong looked at the firelight not far away, afraid that if they delayed any longer, they would be discovered. "It's alright, let's go in quickly."
Just as she was about to take a step out, Shen Nong realized that her left hand was being held.
He turned his head to look at him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Ze bent down slightly, lowered his head to Shen Nong's ear, and whispered back, "I'm afraid the priest will fall."
Shen Nong chuckled softly, "Am I really that careless?"
That's what he said, but in the end he didn't pull his hand away, letting Ze lead him away.
Yingxi walked at the front to make sure Quanfeng saw him first.
Quanfeng, who had already prepared to attack, withdrew his fist upon seeing Yingxi.
He asked in surprise, "Eagle Creek, what brings you here?"
Shen Nong and Ze followed closely behind into the cave, Quan Feng's gaze sweeping over the two of them. When he looked at the fair-skinned youth, the powerful orcish force that had been suppressing him suddenly intensified.
Cold sweat broke out on Quanfeng's forehead. He gritted his teeth and endured the discomfort, fixing his gaze on the tall orc on the other side.
Quanfeng felt like a lamb being stared at by the fiercest beast, its piercing gaze a warning not to look at his partner with such eyes.
Seeing that Quanfeng was acting strangely, Yingxi stepped forward, grabbed him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Quanfeng looked at Yingxi with some confusion, gritting his teeth and enduring the oppressive pressure that was making it hard for him to breathe. He asked Yingxi in a heavy breath, "Didn't you feel it?"
Yingxi looked bewildered. "What did you feel?"
Quanfeng glanced at Ze, finding it hard to believe.
This orc was able to use his powerful orc strength to precisely suppress a specific person.
Seeing this, Shen Nong didn't know what was going on. But the Wushan tribe chief's condition was definitely related to the people around him. He glanced at Ze without saying a word, and squeezed Ze's palm, "Don't hurt anyone."
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, tracing a sensual arc, and he replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
The pressure that had been weighing on his heart vanished in an instant, and Inuka took deep breaths to calm himself down.
Seeing him like this, Yingxi was very worried. "What's wrong with you? Say something!"
Quanfeng had fully recovered and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."
Being suppressed to the point of being unable to even breathe by an orc warrior of a higher level is too humiliating.
Dog Wind won't say it.
However, he was curious as to why Yingxi would appear here with such a powerful person at this time.
"How did you get here?" Quanfeng looked out of the cave to make sure no one had noticed, but he was still a little worried. "Hurry up and leave. If the priest sees you sneaking into the tribe, who knows what he might do."
Upon hearing this, Yingxi not only did not respond, but also took a few more steps into the cave.
He stood not far from the fire, the flickering flames casting shimmering shadows on Yingxi. His expression was grave, his voice low and somber as he asked Quanfeng, each word deliberate, "Quanfeng, if Priest Wuqing was murdered, what would you do?"
Upon hearing Yingxi's question, Quanfeng felt his head buzz.
He didn't even have time to think it through. As soon as he understood the meaning, his mind reacted instinctively. He almost blurted out, "I will kill that person."
Eagle Creek's gaze was fixed on Inu no Kaze. "No matter who that person is? No matter what the price you pay? You'll still kill that person, won't you?"
Yingxi's serious expression made Quanfeng vaguely feel that something was wrong. He felt for no reason that his answer was very important.
This time, Inukaze didn't say it immediately.
He shut his mouth just as the word "yes" was about to escape his lips, giving himself time to think.
During this time, the cave was eerily silent, and everyone was waiting for Quanfeng's answer.
No one knew what Quanfeng was thinking, but after a moment of deathly silence, they heard a firm and resolute voice: "Yes, I will."
Yingxi took a deep breath. "Quanfeng, every word I'm about to say is true. Listen carefully."
Yingxi speaks quite fast, in fact, she does.
But Quanfeng felt that a very long time had passed.
It was so long that his ears seemed to be malfunctioning, otherwise why would he hear that Wu Qing was killed by the current priest of their tribe?
Seeing that Quanfeng remained silent, Yingxi feared he might not believe her. "I can take you to that cave. Priest Wuqing lived there for a while, and he left some patterns on the cave walls."
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Inu-feng's unfinished sentence startled Yingxi. "What?"
"It must hurt a lot..." Quanfeng murmured to himself, his voice choked with emotion.
Yingxi was also in a heavy mood. Wuqing held too much weight in the hearts of the Wushan tribe members, and he didn't know what to say to Quanfeng.
Just as Yingxi was racking her brains trying to think of something to tell Quanfeng not to be too upset, Quanfeng had already calmed down.
"You came here with Yingxi and told me all this. What do you want me to do?" Quanfeng looked directly at Shen Nong, his voice slightly nasal, but he made a very serious promise, "I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Shen Nong quietly loosened his grip, withdrawing his supernatural power. Ever since Ying Xi started speaking, he had been worried that the orc might lose control of his emotions and rush out to fight. So he was always prepared to keep the orc under control at any time.
In retrospect, he was quite composed; he not only didn't rush out but also knew how to analyze the situation.
In fact, Shen Nong was not much afraid of the priests of the Wushan tribe. His only concern was for the people of the Wushan tribe.
When Yu Ji was telling me about the past, he mentioned that orcs who were awakened and promoted by priests would be very loyal to the priests.
Next, they will have to deal with the priest of the Wushan tribe, so the orcs who were awakened and promoted by him will have to be abandoned.
Shen Nong thought carefully about what the Wushan tribe could do for him, and his expression became quite serious. "I want you to take your people as far as you can."
Inufu, who had already prepared for a night raid on the priest's cave, couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?"
Shen Nong affirmed, "You heard me right. Otherwise, would an orc who has been awakened and advanced by your priest go against his instincts and help him fight against him?"
Shen Nong didn't ask for much; as long as he didn't cause her trouble, everything was fine.
To everyone's surprise, after hearing this, Inukaze immediately said, "I can help you deal with it."
Quanfeng explained somewhat dejectedly, "Since he came to the tribe, he hasn't helped any of the orcs awaken or advance in rank. He says it's our punishment for being disobedient."
Shen Nong frowned slightly. Instead of having orc warriors who were absolutely loyal to her, she used the so-called "punishment" as an excuse to prevent them from awakening or advancing to the rank of Wushan tribe orcs.
