Chapter 354 Critical Situation
Chapter 354 Critical Situation
After all, even if Fang Lao were in power, he couldn't just stay with these thousand people. He would have to consider who would do all the work, the tribe's reproduction, development, and growth.
"Old Master Fang said he would never forgive those who betrayed him! These people betrayed him three months ago. Even if we give them a chance now, they will definitely betray us again when Fatty Orange returns. So the safest course of action is to kill them all!" The male voice remained calm as he continued.
"As for the tribe's future development, Elder Fang said that it's something only the weak need to worry about; the strong only need to know how to plunder."
"Robbing? Do you intend to keep killing people forever?" Xixi knew that there were many tribes in this area, and most of them were small tribes. If these people really intended to make a living by robbing, it would be a disaster for these tribes!
The male shook his head slightly. "I don't know, Old Fang didn't say."
Indeed, Old Fang naturally didn't need to tell his subordinates everything that happened afterward.
"By the way, you still haven't told me about Fang Lao's lair!" Xi Xi continued to ask.
The male shook his head again, "We have no home. For the past three months, we've been wandering around, never staying in one place for more than three days!"
Xixi: "..." That's ruthless. Is he hiding from someone? Or has this deep-seated vigilance become an instinct for Fang Lao?
"Tell me, where is the old man now?" This is the last question.
The male pointed to a mountain peak not far away, "There, just now, someone reported that Fatty Orange was spotted over there, and Elder Fang personally led his men to attack."
"Crack!"
Without any hesitation, Xixi snapped the other person's neck. She was never a kind person, especially towards those who were hunting down her family, she would not show any mercy.
"Let's go, let's go save Second Brother!" It was Yunxi who said this. The group hurried and finally gathered here.
Some heard more, some heard less, but everyone heard the last sentence: someone was hunting down their sworn brothers!
They've got some nerve, daring to chase after their sworn brother! They're utterly humiliated!
Xixi was incredibly grateful that when she left the lynx tribe, she had left such a trail under the guise of nursing the cubs, which allowed her to discover the situation in time.
But she was also annoyed. They had arrived in the Southern Continent ten days ago. If they had gone to the Lynx tribe first and then to the Hidden Abode to gather herbs, perhaps the Lynx tribe would not have suffered this calamity!
Alternatively, she could have split her people into two groups: she went to the secluded old residence, while the others didn't need to wait outside and could have gone to the lynx tribe first.
But there are no buts, and no going back.
At this moment, all she could do was find Fatty Orange as soon as possible and then do everything in her power to save them!
At the same moment, on the other side of the mountain, Nuannuan is facing the greatest test of her cat life—giving birth!
Nuannuan never imagined that she would give birth outside the lynx tribe, let alone that she would face the miserable situation of having no one to help her give birth during her first labor!
Her beloved and respected grandmother, the great shaman of the lynx tribe, passed away peacefully yesterday.
Of course, dying of old age is the official explanation. The truth is that, in order to give the lynx tribe a chance to survive, the chief shaman prayed fervently to the beast god, and her lifespan was a sacrifice she voluntarily offered to the beast god!
As a result, the young Nuannuan was forced to take up her post immediately, and her water broke less than half a day after she started.
The fleeing group was forced to stay in the mountain stream, and complaints arose everywhere.
"What is the chief doing? What is the guard doing? They've been attacked right at our doorstep, and they haven't even noticed!"
"A tribe of tens of thousands of people, in one night, some died, some fled, and now there are less than a thousand of us left. It's laughable that we don't even know where to escape to!"
"What's even more ridiculous is that even at this moment, the young chieftain is still desperately protecting his litter of cubs, unaware that at such a critical moment, organizing the fighting force to counterattack is the most important thing!"
"Ha! He's quite something, all twenty-eight cubs are alive and well, yet he insists on keeping my wife here to look after his children, which has led to the innocent deaths of my three poor children!"
"It's one thing to protect those kittens, but why protect those rats? Especially one of them, which is obviously defective and mutated. They're going to die sooner or later anyway. It's fine to keep them around normally, but now we're keeping them with us. Isn't this delaying everyone's escape?"
"Exactly! And there's the new shaman, who just took office and then went into labor. Judging from her howling, she probably won't be able to give birth! Our Lynx tribe's shamanic lineage is likely doomed. Once the shamanic lineage is gone, how can our Lynx tribe possibly revive? We'd better make plans as soon as possible!"
"What plans? In our current state, what plans can we possibly have?"
"The chief and the young chief are the ones who have a grudge against Fang Lao. What does it have to do with us? As long as we join other tribes, Fang Lao will naturally stop bothering us!"
"..."
Fat Orange and Warm Warm were fully aware of the various comments coming from within the team, and they were both anxious about it.
Normally, Fatty Orange would never allow these voices to appear, but right now Nuan Nuan is facing a life-or-death situation and can hardly protect herself.
As for him... just as these people said, in order to protect the cubs and everyone else, his loyal followers fought on the front lines during the escape, paying a heavy price!
There are only about ten people left alive around me. If we suppress them with an iron fist now, there's no guarantee they won't do something even more outrageous.
Everything happened so fast in just three days that they couldn't keep up at all.
He even hoped that his people could make a living on their own, so that they wouldn't follow him, relying on his protection while constantly complaining and mocking him, as if he had wronged them.
As for this cub, it is indeed a child of Xixi. It is very intelligent at such a young age. After learning about the changes in the family, it did not make a fuss and quietly followed the group. There was no need for extra manpower to take care of it.
In particular, the two older ones, Xi Wang and Xi Ban, consciously took on the task of taking care of their brothers and sisters. For example, they would take the initiative to cut up fresh meat and then distribute it to each of their brothers and sisters as needed, so that their father would not have to feed them one by one. Also, when they slept, they would curl up in a circle and put their other brothers and sisters inside. The whole family was warm and cozy, and their father did not have to coax them to sleep or stay with them.
The most amazing thing is that every time the group arrives at a place, several mice will quietly dig a hole, which can not only accommodate themselves, but also all their brothers and sisters, and even the fat orange cat's share, as if they are ready to dig a tunnel to escape at any time.
