Chapter 240 Three Souls Lost, Seven Spirits
Chapter 240 Three Souls Lost, Seven Spirits
Xia Weier did not reveal his specific plans to Ruan Xiyue, but Ruan Xiyue had already guessed some of them from his words and actions.
She knew that Xia Weier was always meticulous and decisive, and that his seemingly altered personality at the time meant he must have something on his mind.
You can tell at a glance that he's up to something big.
Ruan Xiyue did not tell Xia Weier that she was pregnant with her cubs but still went to the Red Fox Tribe and wreaked havoc.
She knew that, based on Xia Weier's understanding of her, he would guess her actions sooner or later—after all, she was never the type to let her enemies off easily.
Xia Weier did indeed guess it.
He was worried that Ruan Xiyue would encounter misfortune in the Red Fox Tribe, so after dealing with the elders and chieftains in the Spirit Fox Tribe, he did not hesitate to make a harsh statement and then rushed to the Red Fox Tribe.
He felt a vague unease in his heart, fearing that Ruan Xiyue would only report good news and not bad. He had already realized several times that Ruan Xiyue was not staying in the tribe at all!
She's always outside!
However, he asked once, but Ruan Xiyue didn't tell him. So he didn't press her for an answer.
Just as Xia Weier arrived near the Red Fox Tribe, Ruan Xiyue and Long Ze's group had also reached the border between the Lion Tribe and the Cheetah Tribe.
From a distance, the outline of the tribe appeared exceptionally serene in the setting sun, as if the beast tide they had just experienced was merely a distant dream.
However, when Cong Wen and Luo Qizhao saw Ruan Xiyue, with her pregnant belly, walking out from the second echelon resisting the beast tide, their faces instantly turned pale.
Cong Wen froze, his eyes filled with shock and worry.
Luo Qizhao was so stunned that he stood there speechless for a long time.
Ruan Xiyue, however, appeared remarkably composed. She waved her hand gently, her tone calm yet undeniable:
"Chief Congwen, Chief Luo, and the captains of the guard, let's go back to the Lion Clan tribe first. Let's also call the other leaders who are temporarily staying in the tribe to the council hall for a meeting. We can talk about other things later."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried an irresistible force.
Cong Wen and Luo Qizhao exchanged a glance. Although they still had a thousand words in their hearts, they could only suppress them for the time being, nodded, and turned to arrange the meeting.
Meanwhile, the other orcs in the tribe were basking in the joy of victory.
They cheered as they welcomed their loved ones or partners back from the beast tide, their faces beaming with the relief of surviving a catastrophe.
Although this beast tide came with great force, the number of injured and killed orcs was less than last year, which was undoubtedly a huge surprise.
Laughter and cheers echoed over the tribe, making the air seem warmer.
However, this joy did not reach the higher-ups of either tribe.
Cong Wen, Luo Qizhao, and several guard captains remained heavy-hearted.
The captains of the guard team, especially those sent by the Beast King but not under Ruan Xiyue's command, felt a mixture of fear, anger, and emotions, along with Mu Qiang's.
Especially when they saw Ruan Xiyue with her pregnant belly and heard the other beastmen talk about how Ruan Xiyue had slaughtered everyone and that this time the beastmen had suffered very few losses, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed her in a golden glow.
Her figure appeared exceptionally tall and straight in the light and shadow, like an unshakeable mountain peak.
Long Ze silently walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"
Ruan Xiyue shook her head and replied softly, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry."
A hint of heartache flashed in Long Ze's eyes, and he said, "After the meeting, I'll cook you something delicious myself!"
Ruan Xiyue smiled and didn't say anything more.
"I've received information that the Red Fox Tribe has bribed nine wandering orc organizations. They originally planned to take advantage of this winter beast tide to launch a surprise attack on the Cheetah Tribe and the Lion Tribe."
All the beastmen present were shocked, for this was simply unbelievable! Where did Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue get this information?
Ruan Xiyue looked at the captains of the guard team: "You should know very well that Qiu Ran participated in the siege of two wandering orc tribes and more than a thousand wandering orcs in the canyon."
Ruan Xiyue then looked at the captain of the guard team who had already sworn allegiance to her: "In the mountains and streams outside the back of the Cheetah Tribe, there are still nearly a thousand corpses of wandering beastmen."
"And then there were the hundreds of wandering orcs we encountered after the guards expanded their patrols. All of this confirms the credibility of what I'm saying!"
The leaders of the fox clan, spirit fox clan, treasure-hunting rat clan, dog clan, and deer clan all began to whisper among themselves, their faces filled with anxiety.
Cong Wen and Luo Qizhao, on the other hand, seemed much more composed.
Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "Everyone, don't worry. We went to check the area where the beast tide was being guarded. We've already killed nearly two thousand wandering beastmen on the way."
The remaining thousand or so, nearly two thousand, wandering orcs, were all killed by Ruan Xiyue when she traveled to and from the Red Fox Tribe!
"So there's no need to worry about the safety of the females who are pregnant."
"However, the guards must not let their guard down! They still need to increase patrols!"
The guard captains all stood up and bowed to express their admiration for Ruan Xiyue.
Although some people were unhappy that she secretly went out!
But their admiration for her strength reached its peak when she delivered those chilling death numbers unscathed!
Ruan Xiyue spread her hands: "The reason I brought this up is firstly to tell everyone that we must not slack off in the upcoming guard patrol missions!"
"Secondly, I'm not the kind of orc who does good deeds quietly without leaving a name."
Ruan Xiyue looked at the leaders of the fox clan and other tribes and said, "After the spring, the lion clan and the cheetah clan will merge to become the cheetah lion clan."
"However, I will not be at ease until the Red Fox Tribe falls from the status of a large tribe."
"Therefore, I hope to use the old site left after the merger of the Cheetah Tribes to find a powerful ally!"
"To become my ally, the film crew needs to move here."
The deer clan member frowned slightly. Ruan Xiyue was really shrewd. She had called everyone here and explained the situation to flex her muscles and tell everyone that although the Cheetah Lion Tribe was a medium-sized tribe, their strength should not be underestimated!
The deer clan was tempted for a moment, but still sighed: "I'm sorry, Holy Mother Xiyue, our deer clan probably has no such plans."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "It's alright, I know about the situation of the Deer Clan! We can use other ways of cooperation to deepen the friendly relations between the two clans."
"Originally, I planned to take all the orcs from the Lion Clan and Cheetah Clan to the newly built Beast City!"
