Chapter 52 The Great Changes in the Cangshan Tribe
As soon as Fuying stood firm on the thorny cliff, she saw the white fox leap out and disappear from sight in an instant.

She lowered her eyes and touched her flat stomach, murmuring, "Baby, I'm a single mother now."

Fu Ying didn't stop her. She knew that to Bai Cang, "Fu Ying" was a poisonous thorn stuck in his bones and blood. If he didn't have to gouge out the rotten flesh himself, the wound would fester and fester forever.

He must witness the destruction of the oasis tribe and then kill "Fuying" with his own hands before he can live a good life.

Furthermore, for a fallen orc, leaving Stranglethorn Cliff is not necessarily a good thing.

He didn't want to involve her.

However, this fox even said goodbye silently.

Looking at the thick fog still shrouding the Thorn Cliff, Fu Ying felt as if the past half month had been a dream.

Without further hesitation, she clutched the lightning-type beast crystal in her hand and turned to leave Thorn Cliff.

Not long after Fu Ying left, a huge white fox emerged from the forest. Its bushy tail drooped low to the ground, and its amber eyes stared at the direction she had left for a long, long time.

As the mountain wind carried away her last breath, the white fox finally turned and disappeared into the forest.

When Fuying returned to the Cangshan tribe, it was already dark.

But as soon as she got close, she frowned and noticed the stench of blood in the air.

Something happened to the Cangshan tribe?
With a light touch of his toes, Fuying entered the village, where the once-strict sentry posts were unusually quiet.

As soon as she stepped into the tribe, the smell of blood became increasingly strong, almost solidifying and sticking to her throat. She suppressed the urge to vomit when suddenly, a gust of wind swept towards her, the fierce force as if it had snapped her in half at the waist.

Fuying gracefully retreated several meters, dodging the attack.

Where she had stood, the ground was now cracked and split like a spiderweb.

She frowned and looked into the shadows, where a hissing sound came from, accompanied by the swaying of a giant creature. The moonlight flickered, illuminating a section of a yellow, scaly tail that gleamed coldly.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of ferocious beastly eyes appeared in the shadows, and Fu Ying watched as the thick, giant python slid out.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at the giant python's forehead, where a triangular star pattern was visible.

They are orcs from the Cangshan tribe.

However, this orc has now transformed into a beast, and his eyes are devoid of any clarity, filled only with chaotic bloodlust and ferocity. He has even lost his intelligence, resembling a wild beast with only the most primal hunting instincts.

With a flick of his wrist, Fu Ying unhesitatingly lashed the frost whip at the giant python.

As the whip swept across, tiny ice crystals exploded in the air, and the jet of water spewing from the giant python's mouth froze instantly.

With a "sizzle," the long whip struck the giant python, sending scales flying.

The giant python let out a shrill hiss, its massive body rolling wildly on the ground, leaving trails of blood. Driven by its instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, it dragged its mangled body into the darkness in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few blood-stained scales behind.

After all, it was an orc from the Cangshan tribe. Although it was unknown why it had turned into an orc, Fuying had not harmed it.

She put away her whip and darted toward Teng's cave.

As soon as Fuying stepped into Teng's residence, he was filled with a chilling hissing sound.

The sounds were layered upon each other, and in the air, countless slippery giants were moving on the ground, their scales rubbing together like dull knives, repeatedly grinding against one's nerves.

Fu Ying frowned and walked deeper into the cave.

The cave walls were covered with winding, sticky trails, and the glistening liquid was stained with blood and snake scales.

A moment later, the scene before her eyes made Fu Ying's pupils shrink, and she took a step back with her lips tightened.

It's not fear, it's disgust.

Inside the cave, countless brightly colored giant pythons intertwined, forming a nauseating mountain of flesh. Several undigested orc skeletons lay coiled around the perimeter, blood still seeping from their white bones.

As Fuying watched, her stomach suddenly spasmed, and the bitter taste of bile welled up in her throat.

She turned and left the cave. The fresh air outside made her feel much more comfortable. However, the changes in the Cangshan tribe made her look heavy-hearted. The giant, colorful pythons that were entangled in the cave were all beastmen.

However, she was certain that Teng was not dead; otherwise, the mission would have been a failure.

Fu Ying searched around the Cangshan tribe again, but didn't see a single orc.

She pursed her lips, hesitated, and then took out the antidote for the "Disguise Pill".

Perhaps only by restoring it to its original form can it find Teng by recognizing the patterns on the surface.

However, the "Disguise Pill" is full of uncertainties in changing one's appearance. If one swallows the antidote, there will be no more "Hua Hua" on the Beastman Continent. How can one regain Teng's trust and wait for Bai Cang to return?
Fuying paused, suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps coming from outside the tribe.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant she put away the medicine bottle. Her figure darted towards the source of the sound like a swallow. Turning the corner of the village, she saw several unfamiliar figures holding bone knives.

Fu Ying squinted, didn't dodge, and went straight to meet him!

Upon hearing the commotion, the group's expressions immediately changed. When they saw that it was a female, one of them asked in confusion, "How come there are still females in this Cangshan tribe? Weren't they all taken back?"

Fu Ying stared at the group expressionlessly: "Who are you? What happened to the Cangshan tribe?"

Her unexpected reversal of the natural order left the orcs bewildered, then they suddenly burst into laughter: "She asked us what happened to the Cangshan tribe? Hahaha—"

"I don't have time to waste with you!" A sharp glint flashed in Fu Ying's eyes as her long whip shot out through the air.

The orc who had spoken was sent flying backward by the blow, his face frozen in astonishment.

The next instant, he was sent flying, crashing into a large tree outside the tribe and snapping it in half!

Before the other orcs could react, the whip was raised again, and the air condensed into tiny ice crystals wherever the whip swept.

Several orcs collapsed to the ground with groans. Fu Ying stepped forward and said coldly, "Answer if you don't want to die."

The orcs coughed up blood, their faces filled with terror at Fu Ying's ruthless methods, and they dared not resist any longer.

What happened to the Cangshan tribe?

"...The Cangshan tribe annexed the Banshan tribe. The Banshan tribe's leader, Zhongjia, feigned submission, but in reality... he actually joined forces with our Giant Lizard tribe and poisoned the water source of the Cangshan tribe's snake-beastmen with viper saliva!"

The beastman who spoke coughed up blood, and his arm went out of control and transformed into a lizard-scaled claw.

"Viper saliva?" Fu Ying's eyes suddenly narrowed, the light in them colder than a sharp sword.

The orc swallowed hard: "It's... it's the thing that can strip snake orcs of their intelligence."

Fu Ying gripped his long whip tightly: "The Teng of the Cangshan tribe, are you in your hands too?"

The orc paused for a moment: "...Teng? You mean the Teng whose beast crystal was removed?"

The orc struggled to sit up: "Teng didn't drink from the tribe's water source. The pterosaurs who were with him escaped with him. Several other members of the Cangshan tribe also escaped. The chief ordered us to patrol day and night to see if they would return to the tribe."

Fu Ying squinted, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Viper saliva, is there a way to deal with it?"

The orcs looked distressed: "That was made by our tribe's shaman, infused with the venom glands of our giant lizards, specifically to counter the snake-orcs. How could we, the patrolling orcs, possibly know a solution?"

Lizards prey on snakes, making them natural enemies.

"Who were the people who escaped from the Cangshan tribe? Was their female leader, Lan, among them?"

The tail scales of the pale moon are still in Lan's hands.
