Chapter 341: Abnormality in Qingcheng
Chapter 341: Abnormality in Qingcheng
Perhaps it was because Hei Yao's gaze was too obvious that Qing Fan quickly noticed his jealousy.
He raised his eyes and smiled at Hei Yao, and for a moment Hei Yao's urge to bite became even stronger.
"Have you discussed it?"
Ying Yu and the others quickly decided who would transform into a beast to carry the two old witches and the flower witch, and then they watched Qing Fan and the others discuss everything and quickly continued their journey.
After all, they had traveled for so long, and everyone wanted to have a good rest in Qingcheng.
Qing Fan put his arm around Yu He's waist and nodded to Ying Jing, "Okay, let's continue on our journey."
Upon hearing this, Hua Wu and her beast husband sat on the back of the black bear, the two old witches sat on the back of a black tiger and a white wolf respectively, and Ying Jun turned back into a white tiger - but his size was much smaller than that of an ordinary white tiger.
Yu He was also surprised when she saw Ying Yu's beast body. Fortunately, she also knew that she couldn't stare at him all the time, otherwise it would be annoying.
But when Qing Fan carried her onto the giant eagle's back and flew low, she asked about Ying Yu, "Do you know why Ying Yu's body is so much smaller than those of other white tiger beastmen?"
Even her three cubs, who were over a year old, were bigger than him.
Qing Fan didn't like to talk about other beastmen's private affairs, so after a moment's hesitation, he said, "It might have something to do with Ying Jing's parents. Some beastmen don't necessarily inherit the stronger of their parents; they might also inherit the weaker one."
"So Ying Qi inherited the strengths and weaknesses of both his parents' beastly bodies?"
Yu He immediately understood what he meant, which was similar to her guess.
"I wonder if other cubs I give birth to in the future will also inherit my beast body?"
She was a little curious.
However, thinking about the obvious disadvantage of her own beast body compared to those larger beast bodies, Yu He felt that it would be better to inherit her father's more powerful beast body, so that her cubs could live better in this world.
"It would be nice to inherit your calico cat's body."
Hearing the female talking about her cub in front of him, Qing Fan couldn't help but hold the female in his arms tightly, "The strength of the beast body is only part of the strength of an orc. You must trust that your beast husband will teach the cub how to protect itself."
How could Yu He not recognize who this beast husband he was talking about? She couldn't help laughing, turned around and put her arms around the male's lean waist, "Do you like cubs very much? But my body won't allow me to get pregnant again so soon."
Hearing this, Qing Fan gently stroked the female's back and suddenly chuckled, "Ah He, don't you think that instead of thinking about the cub, I should be thinking about how to make my female happy and let her give me a name as soon as possible?"
Before Yu He could blush, she heard a sharp sonic boom in her ears.
Qing Fan quickly used his mental power to cover the female completely, preventing the cold wind from blowing her skin red.
"Ah Er!"
His tone suddenly became serious.
Seeing that the patriarch was angry, the giant eagle quickly flapped its wings and flew back into the sky.
Wasn't he too shocked that the clan leader could be so anxious? After all, they had been in White Tiger City for a year, just like the Goddess of He. Ah Er had thought their clan leader would continue to be so indifferent.
It turns out...the patriarch was just pretending before?
Ah Er felt that he had instantly understood the truth.
When Hei Yao saw this scene below, he didn't even need to guess, he knew that the male and female sitting above must have said some sweet words that made their ears blush, which made the single Ah Er so panic that the clan leader and his wife almost fell off.
The relationship between this male and female is getting better and better!
Hei Yao suddenly wanted to fight Qing Fan.
.......
Qingcheng is more like a gathering place for scattered tribes than a city.
After Yu He and the other orcs arrived here, they soon found a place to stay with the crystal core.
It was unknown what material the yard was made of. After Yu He entered, he didn't see any flowers or plants, but he could smell a faint fragrance.
Seeing her curiosity, Qing Fan told her, "The houses here are made of mud from the nearby swamps that has been dried in the sun. Although I don't know why, the houses are very sturdy."
Yu He nodded slightly, reached out and pushed the courtyard wall hard, and found that the closer he got to the wall, the more obvious the faint fragrance became.
"There's a scent that's very refreshing, Flower Witch. Do you think it's similar to the scent of some herbs?"
Facing Yu He's sudden question, Flower Witch, who had just entered the observation yard, sniffed the faint fragrance in the air. Then she nodded, "It's very similar to the scent of Xinghe, but not as pungent."
"I heard that the orcs living in Qingcheng were not affected by the strange disease. You know, Yunze is not far from Qingcheng."
But just as Yu He finished speaking, Hei Yao's voice came from outside, "That's not necessarily true. We just took a look around the tribe, and the orcs who left here are all young orcs. Guess where those old orcs and cubs whose physical fitness is not as good as that of the young orcs have gone?"
They split up into several groups to look for food, but it was obvious that they didn't find much. It seemed that they would have to share the dried meat they brought with them tonight, or let Ah Er take the other orcs to a farther place to hunt some exotic beasts for dinner.
"Where did you go?"
Flower Witch was the first to lose her patience and asked, "Are there any beastmen here who have contracted strange diseases?"
Hei Yao glanced at her and said in a lazy and leisurely tone, "Hasn't your male also visited the tribe? Why don't you ask him what he saw first?"
Hua Wu immediately looked at her beastly husband, "Ah Shang?"
"Or, let me tell you."
Ying Jing, who was following Hei Yao and the others, suddenly stood up and said, "I don't think it's necessarily a strange disease. They must have heard the news from Yun Ze and want to prevent the orcs at home from getting sick. That's why they kept the old orcs and the cubs indoors."
Hei Yao snorted and said, "It's okay for the old orcs. They're old and have seen a lot, so not going out for a while won't have much of an impact on them. But the cubs are always full of energy. How can every household keep their cubs so well-controlled that there's not even a hint of mischief?"
Ah Shang nodded in agreement, then shared his findings, "I think they seem to be frightened by something and dare not go out. The orc family I visited only had two old orcs. They didn't look sick, and when I asked for food, they refused to sell it to me.
They said they hadn't been out for over a month and wouldn't be going out in the near future. They were very stern when they kicked me out. When I went out, the door inside was not only bolted, but also blocked with stones.
"How do you know so well that they blocked the door with stones?"
Yu He was surprised that Ah Shang, who was outside the door, could see that the orcs inside were blocking the door with stones?
Along the way, she remembered that the courtyard gates here were all seamed seamlessly.
Ah Shang was silent and looked at Qing Fan.
Qing Fan smiled helplessly and explained, "He climbed over the wall and saw it, or maybe the two orcs spoke when they were blocking the door with stones."
