Chapter 339 Another Encounter with the Ape-Beastman
The powerful airflow instantly alerted the three orc tribe members, who quickly stood up and assumed a defensive stance.
Sen slowly revealed his form, and his tall stature and huge wings startled the three beastmen.
One of the seemingly leader, ape-like beastmen, mustered his courage and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Sen calmly replied, "This is near my tribe. You've come here suspiciously. I should ask you what your purpose is."
The three orcs exchanged glances, took out the gifts they had brought, and explained, "We mean no harm. We have heard that a powerful being has been born here, and our chieftain only wishes to make friends and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings that could lead to disaster."
"Make friends? Ha..." Sen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He glared at the three ape-like beastmen and flapped his huge, hard wings at them.
With a whoosh, an incredibly strong gust of wind suddenly swept up, instantly sending the three ape-men flying like falling leaves, crashing straight into the shimmering lake not far away.
"Our Eastern tribes have always been known throughout the beast world for their unity and mutual assistance. We support each other and live in harmony. But you despicable fellows, relying on the number of your tribes and your strength, dared to attack us! What's worse, you even tried to forcibly kidnap our leader! It's simply outrageous!" Sen became more and more indignant as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.
Before he finished speaking, Sen waved his hands and muttered incantations. A chilling aura shot out from his hands and swept straight towards the three ape-like beastmen in the lake.
In the blink of an eye, the three people were frozen solid in the middle of the lake by a thick layer of ice, unable to move.
"Hmph! As for when this ice will melt, that depends on your own abilities! Remember this: hurry back to your tribe and honestly tell your arrogant chieftain: our Eastern tribe never provokes trouble, but we are definitely not pushovers! If anyone wants to die, come at us! We will fight to the bitter end!" Sen shouted loudly, head held high and chest puffed out.
After saying this, Sen ignored the few ape-like beastmen trapped in the ice, turned around and took Ruan Mianmian with him, flapping their wings and flying high into the sky. They disappeared into the horizon like lightning and sped towards their tribe.
After all, traces of the ape-like orcs have already been discovered here, and no one can guarantee that they won't suddenly reappear.
It seems that the tribe's patrols will have to increase their efforts in the coming period to prevent these uninvited guests from attacking again.
Of the three trapped orcs, one happened to be a fire-type orc. He tried to use his powers to melt the ice, and then quickly helped his companions get rid of the huge block of ice.
"Huff...huff...finally out, I almost suffocated." One of the gorilla beastmen was of the strength type. He dragged his two companions back to the lake shore, then lay on the ground panting heavily.
"Did you see that orc's abilities just now? He has both wind and fire elemental powers! And that powerful aura definitely belongs to the high-level orc the wizard was talking about."
The strength-type orc sat up and said, "So what if they're high-ranking orcs? Let's go back and tell the chief to gather more brothers and teach the Eastern tribes a lesson."
The fire-type orc shook his head. "No, we came here today to seek peace. Besides, the strength of those high-level orcs far exceeds our expectations. If we really start a war, we may not be able to win."
Another orc chimed in, "Yes, why don't we go back and report the truth first, and then discuss it further?"
The strength-type orc snorted, though unwilling, he knew the two had a point.
After tidying up, the three headed back to their tribe.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern tribe, Sen and Ruan Mianmian immediately organized a tribal meeting after returning to their tribe.
Standing on the stone platform, Ruan Mianmian said solemnly, "Although we have temporarily repelled the spying of the gorilla tribe today, the crisis is not over. We need to improve the overall strength of the tribe as soon as possible. The young beastmen need to intensify their training in supernatural abilities, while the females and young beastmen will be responsible for logistical support."
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
In the days that followed, the Eastern tribe worked diligently to prepare for the event, with patrols remaining vigilant at all times. The entire tribe was filled with a tense yet positive atmosphere, ready to face any potential challenges.
