Chapter 177 Bad News
Seeing Huhua hesitating and crying, Hu Feifei's heart skipped a beat.
He held her arm, his voice trembling, "Tiger Flower, tell me what happened in the tribe?"
"Where are Hu Feng and the others?"
"And my grandpa and uncle, are they okay?"
"I..." Huhua's lower lip trembled. It felt like a ball of cotton was blocking her throat and she couldn't even utter a complete sound.
But she also knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, and Feifei would know it one day.
After taking a few deep breaths, she looked away, not even daring to look into her sisters' eyes, and said with great difficulty: "The tribe encountered... stray beasts during the winter season. A few tribesmen escaped except me. The old chief and his men all sacrificed their lives to protect the tribe!"
She would never forget the horrific scene in the sea of blood and corpses where the old patriarch faced dozens of stray beasts alone with his own body in order to protect the escape of several females and cubs.
The old patriarch is a fearless hero who sacrificed his life and dedicated his life to the Jiyue tribe.
what? !
Hu Feifei's heart suddenly tightened, her face turned extremely pale, and tears kept welling up in her eyes.
Whenever she thought about the old man who loved her was gone, she felt so sad that she couldn't breathe.
How could this be?
She was so sad that she bit her lips tightly. Even though blood was seeping out, she was unaware of it. The unspeakable sorrow had overwhelmed her heart.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Makino couldn't help but shudder and his eyes welled up with redness.
Although he hated the orcs in the tribe, the chief, Grandpa, was his benefactor and the only elder he admired.
It was hard for him to accept the news of his sudden death, especially when he saw the fragile look of his beloved female crying in sorrow, which made his heart ache.
He stretched out his arms and held her in his arms, comforting her in a hoarse voice, "Madam, you still have me."
"Don't worry, I won't let any of those who killed your grandpa go!"
His cold green eyes turned to Tiger Flower, and he clenched his fingers into fists, "Do you still remember the characteristics of those stray beasts?"
Huhua was shocked by his ferocious aura and the murderous intent that surrounded him. She swallowed and hesitantly told them everything she knew.
The tribe had already lost a lot of supplies due to a wave of stray beasts, and it was very difficult to endure the long winter. Tyson was deprived of his title as the first warrior, so he left with Xia Yinyin in anger, which further reduced the safety of the tribe.
But with the coming of the cold season, food was in short supply, and the old chief had no choice but to ask everyone to save food and get through it together. At this critical juncture, the tribe was invaded by stray animals again, who ruthlessly drove in and snatched the females.
The chief led the remaining orc warriors to fight, but they were starving and exhausted, and were no match for the stray beasts. In the end, they risked their lives to protect several young females and cubs and let them escape.
The Jiyue tribe was destroyed, and they had nowhere to go, so they finally came to the Beast King City.
As for the group of stray beasts, she only vaguely remembered that the leader was a bear beastman with a scar on his face.
When the bloody scar was opened again, Huhua burst into tears. Fortunately, Feifei was still alive, and if the old patriarch knew about it, he would be a little comforted.
Hu Feifei closed her eyes tightly, and her eyelashes were trembling as if they had been soaked in water.
After hearing the whole story, she seemed to see the white-haired old man, holding up his aged body, resolutely guarding the tribe, ready to die.
Sadness surged into her heart like a raging tide, making her feel as if she were on a frozen lake, her whole body cold.
It turns out that some endings cannot be changed, and her butterfly effect even accelerates their destruction.
According to the original trajectory, the Jiyue tribe would be destroyed at the hands of the evil Muye, but because of her appearance, Muye would no longer seek revenge on the Jiyue tribe, but still could not escape the fate of destruction.
But Grandpa is such a good old man, he shouldn't have such a tragic ending...
The destruction of the tribe even made her unable to face Lan Xiu, who was the indirect cause of all this.
If it weren't for him, the tribe would not have been short of supplies, causing the tribe's combat effectiveness to decline, and Grandpa would not have died.
She tried hard to suppress the sob in her throat, and her joints turned white.
Makino was afraid that she would be too sad, so he wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips and coaxed her with great pity, "Madam, Grandpa sacrificed his life for the tribe, we must live well with his share."
"I will bring the heads of those stray beasts to you to pay tribute to the souls of Grandpa and those tribesmen!"
The seeds of revenge were planted in his heart. One day, he would slaughter all those unforgivable stray beasts that he hated so much!
And Tyson, who abandoned the tribe, is the real ungrateful person. It's not that he is selfish and fails to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the tribe, the female leader would not fall into the hands of stray beasts. And he left at such a critical moment in the winter season. It's obvious that he was deliberately taking revenge.
Such a shameless orc doesn't deserve to live!
His cold face revealed an undisguised murderous aura that was intimidating.
Huhua cried until her voice was hoarse, but after letting out her tears, she no longer felt so heavy in her heart.
With the comfort of her partner, she slowly stopped crying.
After wiping away her tears, she seemed to suddenly remember something. Her red and swollen eyes suddenly widened and she grabbed Hu Feifei's hand, "Feifei, I'll take you to see Ali!"
"He'll be very happy to see you."
When Hu Feifei heard that Ali was still alive, she no longer cared about her sadness and hurriedly followed Hu Hua to the residence where they stayed in Beast King City.
The house where Huhua lived was on the edge of the area and was much smaller than their stone house, with only one story.
After a quick look around, she realized that Huhua's life was probably a bit difficult.
As they entered the yard, an orc who was walking with a limp came out to greet them.
"Madam, are there any guests at home?"
When he looked up and saw Hu Feifei and Makino, he immediately froze where he was, thinking he was dazzled.
Seeing that he was even more foolish than herself, Hu Hua joked, "You are not mistaken, it is indeed Feifei and the others."
"She's still alive."
After confirming it, Hu Feng's eyes turned red with excitement, and he said incoherently: "I didn't expect you guys are still alive, this... is really great!"
He already felt extremely guilty when Hu Feifei was captured by a stray beast in order to save Huhua. Later, he failed to protect the tribe and watched the old chief rush towards the stray beast with a fearless attitude of death. This became his eternal regret and he could never let it go.
How can I not be excited when I see Hu Feifei again?
Seeing that a grown man was about to cry, Hu Feifei was also filled with emotion. She lowered her eyes to see his legs clearly and couldn't help but frowned.
"Hufeng, your legs..."
"It's okay, it's just a broken leg, it's nothing." He said nonchalantly.
