Chapter 394 Trapped
Sure enough, just a few seconds after Lang Cang finished speaking, the voices of the male beastmen came from not far away, "Uncle Mo!"
The gray wolf transformed into human form, and Wolf Mo strode over. Wolf Cang stood up to greet him, "Uncle Mo, how are you?"
"Just as the young clan leader guessed, there should be a tribe ahead."
"No rush, Leopard Road, go and get a few more bowls of hot soup. Uncle Mo, you should eat something first." Lang Cang noticed that Lang Mo's hands were red from the cold, and there was a hint that they were about to develop sores.
Leopard Road nodded quickly, and the group went under the wooden planks. Wolf Mo took off his soaking wet animal skin clothes and put on dry, soft ones.
At this moment, Bao Lu also brought over a bowl of meat soup and shoved it into his hands, saying, "Uncle Mo, quickly drink some to warm yourself up."
Lang Mo smiled and took the bamboo tube, holding it in his hands. "Young clan leader, we should be able to rest here for now."
A few days ago, the wolves in the forest keenly sensed the orcs' movements. After finding a place to stay, it was their turn to go out and investigate.
Sure enough, there was a river about half a day's distance ahead, and several orcs were processing their prey by the river.
Having been in the South for so long, this was the first time they had encountered Southern beastmen.
It must be said that the current scene in the south is completely different from what they imagined. It is said in the orc continent that the south is very rich, with spring-like weather all year round and abundant resources in the tribes.
But when they actually arrived in the south, they found that prey was not as readily available as they had imagined, and they didn't even find many traces of orcs.
As they walked this far, the prey became increasingly scarce.
Lang Cang spent a long time examining the map he had drawn along the way, but he couldn't find anything unusual. However, he was certain that they had temporarily lost their way.
This forest looked quite strange, with rocks and trees coexisting in a seemingly chaotic yet orderly manner. They had been walking for quite some time without finding their way out.
Most of the beastmen who came with them were not used to the climate here and were showing signs of vomiting and diarrhea. Fortunately, Lin Baiyan had anticipated this situation and left them a lot of medicinal herbs.
After the beastmen finished eating, their condition improved considerably, but just to be on the safe side, Lang Cang decided to stop and rest for a few days.
The main purpose of Wolf Mo and his group's expedition was to find a nearby tribe where they could stay.
"The beastmen we saw were actually monkeys, but to avoid scaring them, Wolf Wang and I didn't go any closer."
"Great, it's good that there's a tribe here."
"If you hadn't come back soon, we would have had to set up camp right here." Leopard Road breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, although there were many rocks in the forest, the humidity was extremely high, so setting up a temporary camp here was not a very good choice.
Lang Mo looked at Lang Cang, whose expression was inscrutable, and asked, "Young Clan Leader, have you thought of something?"
Lang Cang shook his head slightly. "I just find it strange."
Strange, what's strange? Both male beastmen looked at Lang Cang with complete bewilderment.
“Logically speaking, we should have been in this dense forest for three days now. During this time, there has been no trace of orcs, and even prey has been scarce.”
"Why did those orcs show up today of all times? Don't you think that's illogical?" Lang Cang looked up at the two of them with a deep gaze.
"If we hadn't brought enough food and medicine, today would have been the day we reached the end of our road."
Wolfwood's heart skipped a beat. "Young clan leader, you mean..."
The two orcs exchanged a glance and both understood the other's unspoken meaning.
Wolf Mo immediately stood up. "No, we have to get out of here right now!"
If Lang Cang's guess is correct, those orcs definitely have ill intentions towards them, and no matter what their purpose is, they cannot be allowed to succeed!
Lang Cang shook his head. "Uncle Mo, it's no use. We have no way to get out of this dense forest right now."
"The only way now is to turn the tables on them." Lang Cang looked at Lang Mo with his deep blue eyes.
After listening for a while, Leopard finally caught up with the two's train of thought. He frowned and said, "Our current combat strength isn't very strong."
"The fact that they could come up with such a roundabout way suggests that this tribe's fighting strength is probably not much better than ours."
Hearing what Lang Cang said, Bao Lu thought about it for a moment and felt that it made some sense. Now it was certain that they had been targeted a long time ago.
What the city lord just said makes sense. If it were a tribe with far superior fighting power, they would have surrounded them long ago, instead of going to such great lengths.
The three male orcs exchanged glances, quietly huddled together, and whispered among themselves for a while. Then, a slightly cunning smile appeared on Leopard Road's face.
After a brief discussion, Wolf Mo took Leopard Road off to "fish".
Such a simple matter doesn't even require Lang Cang's intervention; the rest of them could handle it!
The raindrops had become a light drizzle and would probably stop in a little while.
Lang Cang stood up, looking at the rainbow in the forest with a somewhat dazed expression.
They've been out for three months now. If they weren't trapped in this dense forest, he would have made the little peregrine falcon try to fly back, at least to send a message to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts so that Lin Baiyan wouldn't worry too much.
Thinking of this, a rare hint of anger flashed in Lang Cang's eyes. It was all the fault of these messy orcs who disturbed his delivery of a message to his mate!
At this moment, Leopard Road and Wolf Mo had already discussed how to lure the group of monkey beastmen.
Beside a stream in the dense forest, a slightly young ape-like beastman looked at the stagnant woods not far away and scratched his head anxiously.
what happened?
The sorceress said that as long as they put on a show here, those foreign orcs will definitely come to them on their own initiative!
These orcs have been wandering around here for four days. After being trapped for so many days, and with no prey in the dense forest, they must have been starving for a long time. Perhaps many of them are about to die of illness. Shouldn't they be overjoyed to see living orcs now?
He had clearly sensed the approaching footsteps of those orcs just now!
Hou Yuan felt a vague unease in his heart; things seemed to have taken them by surprise.
