Chapter 278: Seeing the Problem at a Glance
He Jiaojiao walked out holding Yinchuan, and when she saw the scene, she realized that she seemed to have underestimated the Silver Wolf clan's desire for her cub.
Outside, there were densely packed orcs, each of them looking eagerly at the cub in her arms.
If I didn't know their purpose, I would have thought they were looking at some prey! The look in their eyes was simply intoxicating, as if they couldn't wait to snatch Yinchuan away immediately.
"Holy He Jiaojiao, I heard from Lin Feng that the cub has awakened his supernatural powers, is that correct?"
A strong man walked up to He Jiaojiao. Why was he called a strong man? Because he was really tall and strong. If it were Mo Ran, Zi Yi and the others, they would weigh only about 160 to 170 kilograms at most, but this man in front of him weighed at least 200 kilograms.
Not only that, he also had a scar on his face that stretched from his eyebrow to the corner of his eye. Perhaps because of his good looks, the scar didn't seem so hideous.
"Jiaojiao, this is the leader of the tribe."
It turned out to be the Wolf King! No wonder besides his burly figure, he also had such a captivating aura.
"Well, Yinchuan has indeed awakened his superpowers." He Jiaojiao said, gently stroking Yinchuan's little head, and then put him on the ground after comforting him.
Although Yinchuan could still speak, he understood that his mother wanted him to show off.
Yinchuan shook his fur, took two steps forward, and sat down. Then, in full view of everyone, a huge fireball appeared on his raised front paw. From the leader's eyes and the astonished gasps of the crowd, it was easy to tell that Yinchuan was indeed a talented kid.
"Besides the fire type, is there anything else?"
After all, Lin Feng has more than one superpower, the leader asked impatiently.
Yinchuan threw the fireball out slowly, then raised his other front paw, activated his supernatural power, and quickly condensed an ice cone.
"It's actually a dual-element ability of ice and fire!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Yinchuan was obviously very pleased with the praise. He walked up to the leader proudly, jumped up, bit off the animal skin bag on the leader's waist, and put it on the ground.
Everyone looked at Yinchuan in confusion, thinking that the boy had only taken a fancy to the leader's animal hide bag and wanted to ask the leader for it. But in the next moment, the animal hide bag disappeared.
"There's actually a rare spatial ability!"
Even the leader couldn't calm down. He had thought Yinchuan was very talented, but he had never expected that he would awaken such a rare ability. This was a huge surprise for the Silver Wolf Tribe.
All of a sudden, everyone in the tribe was excited.
"He Jiaojiao, the Holy Lady, that..."
Before the leader could finish his words, He Jiaojiao raised her hand to stop him from saying the next thing, "Leader, I know what you mean, but Yinchuan is still young. Besides, the purpose of our visit this time has already been told to you by Yuan and Linfeng."
The leader was not very angry after being rejected. After all, Yinchuan was indeed too small.
"That's right!" the leader nodded.
"In that case, shouldn't we solve the current dilemma first and deal with the rest later?"
The leader smiled. He originally thought that He Jiaojiao was just a female with beautiful looks, but after hearing what she said, he knew he was wrong.
The female in front of me is highly intelligent.
"The Saint is right!"
The leader seemed quite happy, which surprised He Jiaojiao. After all, he was the leader of a clan, and she had expected him to be the serious type. Unexpectedly, he was so easy to talk to.
"You're too polite, Chief!" He Jiaojiao nodded slightly. "Chief, you don't have to keep calling me the Holy Female. Just call me He Jiaojiao!"
"Okay, He Jiaojiao female!"
Um... well, males in the animal world do habitually call females that.
It was just a name after all, and He Jiaojiao didn't care.
"Chief, why don't you come in and sit down first? I just happen to have something to tell you!"
Fortunately, the house made of ice bricks is very large, and there is a wall between the ice bed and the reception area. Otherwise, He Jiaojiao would not dare to invite people in to sit. After all, who would be willing to expose their sleeping place to others!
The leader was a little hesitant. After all, in their tradition, females would generally only invite males they were interested in into their houses.
"Chief, come in and sit down!"
Yuan knew what the leader was hesitating about, so he waved at him.
"Yuan, I..." The leader quickly came to Yuan's side. There were some things he had to ask clearly, otherwise he would not dare to enter this room!
"Don't worry!" Yuan smiled and patted the leader's arm. "Jiaojiao's ideas are different from those of other females. She just thinks that some things shouldn't be said in front of too many people, so she invited you in to sit down."
The leader was relieved and followed Yuan into the ice house.
Inside the house, because there was no fire, He Jiaojiao couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Jiaojiao, Zhutian and I will go out and find some sand and dry firewood. It will be much more comfortable when we light a fire later!" Ziyi knew what He Jiaojiao was thinking by looking at her expression, so he quickly gave Zhutian a look.
Zhutian naturally didn't say anything and followed Ziyi out.
"Chief, what do you think of the disaster that will happen in a few days?"
If you want to avoid it, you must at least know where the danger may come from so that you can better avoid it.
The leader shook his head and said, "To be honest, He Jiaojiao, we have no idea about the disaster that Yuan predicted."
The Silver Wolf Tribe has always been on good terms with the surrounding tribes and there have never been any conflicts. Therefore, the leader was very surprised when he learned that there would be a disaster.
"But a disaster couldn't have come suddenly, right?" He Jiaojiao thought the leader must have overlooked something. "Could it be that an orc in the tribe had a conflict with an outsider, but didn't report it?"
The leader shook his head without even thinking, "Impossible!"
"Jiaojiao, you may not know much about our tribe. The orcs in the tribe are very united. For thousands of years, everyone has lived in peace and harmony. We haven't even had any quarrels."
After hearing what the leader said, He Jiaojiao thought she might be wrong, but when she heard what Lin Feng said next, she suddenly felt that there was a problem.
No matter how well orcs get along with each other, it is impossible for there to be no basic friction.
He Jiaojiao didn't know how to say it directly, so she looked at Yuan. It was obvious that Yuan also heard something wrong.
"Perhaps, we should send someone to conduct a secret investigation!"
After hearing Yuan's words, the chief was obviously unhappy, because Yuan's words implied that he also suspected the tribesmen.
"Chief, I understand what you mean. I also believe that the tribesmen wouldn't do that." He Jiaojiao knew what her proposal meant to the chief, so she first affirmed the chief's words. "Since we all trust the tribesmen, why don't we investigate? This will prevent us from finding the cause later and causing rifts with the tribesmen."
