Chapter 91: Weird Old Orc

After giving Nan her instructions, Wen Shu rushed to the gathering place. When she arrived, there were already five or six orcs waiting at the city gate.

After a brief negotiation, she learned that the mysterious orc who issued the bounty had not arrived yet.

After learning the ranks of several orcs, she couldn't help but frown.

These orcs who accepted the mission were not simple characters.

Among the six orcs present, there is a high-level female purification-type beast, and the males are all above level seven, and two of them are even level eight beasts!
It seems that high returns do indeed come with high risks. This mission is definitely not an easy one...

While she was thinking, Yali's eyes suddenly lit up and she stood up excitedly, "It's Bai Qiao and the Inspector! Hey, who's that person next to them?"

After hearing what she said, Wen Shu froze in place.

How could it be them!

There's no such part in the original book, right?

She turned her head slightly and saw Bai Qiao and Yining at a glance.

Probably considering that they were going into the dense forest, Bai Qiao changed into a neat light-colored animal skin coat and trousers, and tied his long dark brown hair high on top of his head.

Yining walked beside her, wearing clothes of the same color as her, with an amber pendant wrapped around her wrist.

From a distance, the two of them have outstanding looks, and with the perfect height difference, they look very well matched.

Seeing them coming side by side, Wen Shu thought Yining understood her hint and changed his target.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the male with a cold expression in Yu Guangzhong paused and walked towards her with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Female Wen Shu? You are here too!"

Noticing the change in his attitude, the orcs present all looked at him sideways.

In their eyes, the new inspector seemed aloof and distant, a look no one had ever seen on his face before.

Even the man behind Yining, who had been mysterious since his appearance and was wearing a black cloak, raised his wrinkled face.

"Is this the female you chose?"

His voice was hoarse and old, like a deep echo from a valley.

Those cloudy brown eyes lightly fell on Wen Shu's face. After a few seconds of pause, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he said softly, "Female, where are you from?"

When they first heard him speak, the orcs thought he was asking which tribe the female was from.

But Wen Shu, who was looking at him, had her pupils constricted and a chill suddenly ran down her back. She felt as if the old man in front of her could see through her soul!
Who is this old orc...?

The air stagnated for a few seconds.

To avoid being noticed, Wen Shu relaxed his stiff expression and smiled, "I'm from the Fox Beast Tribe."

She spoke in a natural tone, but the old orc kept staring at her, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp.

His dark lips were pursed, his expression unfriendly, "Really?"

Yining was standing among them. Seeing the old orc pressing the female step by step, he also noticed something was going on.

This old priest who works in the royal city has always been eccentric and stubborn. He never meddles in other people's affairs except those within his duties.

Why are they suddenly targeting females today?
He had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't bear to see the female being questioned, so he quickly broke the serious atmosphere, "It's getting late, let's get going!"

He took a step forward, blocking the old priest's sight, and took Wen Shu's arm. He bowed his head slightly and said, "Female Wen Shu, it will be windy later. Can I accompany you?"

Seeing that he was helping to rescue her, Wen Shu did not resist. She avoided the old priest's sight and followed him to the city gate.

Seeing them preparing to leave, the leading male, Nova, asked, "Inspector, where are we going? What is the mission objective?"

This time, the bounty mission only had crystal coins and a meeting point marked, and they knew almost nothing about it. However, they were all there for the crystal coins and didn't care much about the mission content.

Moreover, they are all high-level beasts. No matter how difficult the mission is, will they lose their lives?

"Yes, sir, what is the mission?"

Once one person spoke up, the other orcs began to raise questions.

Surrounded by them, Yining's originally gentle expression turned cold again. He raised his eyelids and looked around slowly, as if he didn't like others getting close to him.

The orcs were shocked by his cold eyes, and they swallowed their saliva and silently took a few steps back.

Yining also withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the old priest, "Lahan, which direction should we look?"

Priest Lahan was still dissatisfied with his interruption. He looked at him dimly for a moment before hunching over and stepping forward. "Follow me."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the males and his tone was quite arrogant, "Who is the flying beast?"

His rude attitude made the orcs feel uncomfortable, but the old orc was their employer, so they couldn't get angry directly.

Then the two seventh-level males looked at each other, and transformed into two flying beasts. The strong wind from the flapping of their wings suddenly blew off the hood of Priest Lahan.

The eccentric old priest simply pursed his lips, then jumped onto the back of the flying beast and pointed to the north, "Fly there."

Although the overwhelming snow has stopped, the snow season is not over yet.

The flying beasts flapped their wings and headed towards the dense forest. As the distance got closer, a biting cold wind blew in their faces, like an icy blade, cutting people's cheeks with stinging pain.

Wen Shu hugged the animal skin tightly, buried his face in the collar, and looked down. What he saw was a large area of ​​dazzling white. As they moved forward, they left shadows and retreated rapidly.

But after watching for a while, she found something wrong.

The snow seems to be melting too quickly.

Even though the peaks and treetops are covered with snow, there are occasional large areas of bare land or dark green areas that suddenly appear.

The original owner had never entered the dense forest during the snowy season, so naturally he had no memory of such a situation.

But if the snow melted so quickly, why did the orcs of the tribe have to live in the Beast City for a full five months?
Looking at the dense forest getting closer and closer, the familiar uneasiness surged in my heart again. In my sight, the crown of a tree suddenly collapsed, revealing its original dense forest.

She immediately looked down sharply, but the entire forest was covered with snow and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Wen Shu frowned and looked at Yining behind him, "Something is not right..."

Before Yining could answer, the excited voice of Priest Lahan rang out from the front, "Go down quickly! It's right here!"

After receiving the order, the flying beasts dived down suddenly. Wen Shu lost his balance and had to close his mouth and hold on to the feathers of the flying beasts tightly.

Soon, they landed in a dense forest.

The snow here has not melted yet, and the treetops above are covered with snow. If there is any loud noise, it will collapse.

Wen Shu hadn't forgotten what had just happened. He grabbed Yining's sleeve and said seriously, "There's something in this dense forest."

Yining had seen the strength of females and did not doubt her judgment, but she did not immediately publicize her warning.

Instead, he grabbed her wrist, walked to a tree, and said in a low voice, "Wen Shu female, time is running out, and what we are looking for is very important."

He lowered his long eyelashes, glanced at the orcs in the middle of the woods, and said, "I'll find time to remind them later. But you..."

Yining's light brown eyes flashed with seriousness, and he secretly exerted force on his palms. "If anything happens later, you must follow me closely."
