Chapter 209 Goat Tribe
"Ahem!" The rescued orc coughed awkwardly a few times, and looked up carefully at the two people standing in front of him, thinking to himself. It was really unusual that these two people could keep their bodies clean and tidy in such a harsh environment. Especially the female orc, although she looked a little tired, she was obviously well protected. From this, it can be inferred that these two people either came from a powerful tribe, or they were very strong and were not afraid of the current predicament at all!
Thinking of this, the orc was startled and quickly knelt down on the tree trunk, expressing his gratitude devoutly: "Thank you for saving my life! From now on, as long as you need anything, just tell me, I will never refuse!"
However, Banmu ignored the orcs kneeling on the ground, and only held Cheng Mo's hand, asking with concern: "Are you feeling cold? Do you want me to take you back?"
Cheng Mo couldn't ignore the orc lying in submission at his feet, so he said to him, "Get up first. It's just a piece of cake for us to save you."
The orc on the ground was still kneeling, and said sincerely: "My two benefactors, I am from the Goat Tribe. I accidentally fell into the water while hunting today, and was washed here by the current. If you two benefactors don't mind, can you come with me to our tribe to rest for a while?"
After hearing this, Banmu snorted coldly. At this moment, he finally understood the true intention of the orc in front of him. It turned out that the other party wanted him and Xiaomo to escort him back to his tribe under the banner of repaying a favor! However, Cheng Mo didn't seem to care about the orc's little trick. He just asked with concern: "Are you from the goat tribe? So, what is the situation of your tribe now?"
After hearing this, the orc from the Goat Tribe hesitated for a moment, but finally answered truthfully: "Ever since the Beast God got angry and sent down a torrential rain, our tribe has had to embark on a journey of migration..."
"Wait!" Cheng Mo suddenly interrupted the orc's words. His eyes revealed a trace of confusion and dissatisfaction. He asked: "What do you mean by the Beast God getting angry and sending down heavy rain? And who told you that this rain was caused by the Beast God?"
The orcs from the Goat Tribe looked up at Cheng Mo in bewilderment, and said hesitantly: "This... this is what our high priest said. He said that this rainstorm is a punishment from the Beast God for the overdevelopment of the orcs in Qiming City!" Cheng Mo almost laughed out loud when he heard this, but he was more angry.
Regardless of whether the so-called punishment from the Beast God is true, it is difficult to say whether the rapid development of the City of Enlightenment is a sin or the personal opinion of the High Priest of the Goat Tribe. Moreover, the City of Enlightenment was built by him and the Beast God together, so how could he punish the entire continent for such a thing?
Originally, Cheng Mo had not planned to go to the Goat Tribe, but now that he heard such remarks, he felt it necessary to go there in person. He really didn't want to see that while he was fighting the flood here, someone was using the name of Banmu to slander his Qiming City. Doing so not only damaged the reputation of their city, but also indirectly damaged the reputation of Banmu!

The orc who was teleported back to the Goat Tribe by Banmu felt a flash before his eyes, and then he came to his own tribe from a tree trunk. He was still in a trance for a while, and had no idea how he did it. At this time, the other orcs in the Goat Tribe saw Cheng Mo and others suddenly appear at the entrance of the tribe, and immediately gathered around. They were alert in their eyes, staring at Cheng Mo and others closely, and at the same time, they saw the orcs of the Goat Tribe beside Cheng Mo, who were in a trance and looked embarrassed, and they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
“You, who are you?!” One of the orcs asked loudly, with obvious hostility in his voice, “What did you do to Yangyang? How did he become like this?!”
The orc called "Yangyang" quickly came to his senses when he heard the questioning of his tribesmen. He looked at the tribesmen around him who were worried and vigilant, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong! These two are my benefactors! It was also them who brought me back here..."
When the goat tribe heard this, the vigilance on their faces disappeared immediately, replaced by gratitude. They apologized to Cheng Mo and the others: "I see! I'm so sorry! We didn't understand the situation just now. Thank you for saving Yangyang!"
Cheng Mo did not take these to heart, but held Yang Yang tightly and asked: "Can you take me to see the high priest of your tribe? I have something very important to ask him!" Although Cheng Mo's expression looked relatively gentle, Yang Yang keenly sensed a hint of gnashing of teeth in it. He couldn't help but hesitate and felt that he could not take them to see the high priest.
"How about... you guys take a short break first, and then go find the high priest later..." Yangyang had witnessed the powerful strength of Banmu with his own eyes, and because they saved his life, he was deeply grateful to them. Therefore, he really couldn't bear to directly reject Cheng Mo's request, so he could only tactfully decline.
"No, we are really anxious!" Cheng Mo's face suddenly became serious and he said in a firm tone.
"Ah..." Yangyang was startled by Cheng Mo's sudden change, and a fear rose in his heart. He looked at the tribesmen around him with some trepidation, but unexpectedly, the tribesmen misunderstood his meaning and said enthusiastically: "Yangyang may be worried that you are too tired! Don't take it to heart! Let me lead you to find the high priest! The high priest knows that you saved Yangyang, and he will definitely reward you well!"
Cheng Mo slowly let go of Yangyang's hand, turned to look at the orc who had just spoken, a cold smile appeared on his face, then nodded and said, "Then thank you for your help."
The orc happily led the way in front of Cheng Mo and the others. Although he had never witnessed Banmu's true strength, he could sense Banmu's awesome and powerful aura with his keen intuition. Because of this, he was unwilling to have any conflict or hostility with these two powerful people. Instead, he tried his best to show them the advantages of his tribe, hoping that he could impress them and make them stay in the goat tribe willingly.
