Chapter 210 No need to guess, the dark beast
The tribesmen had already adapted to the three seconds of bright light, and they could clearly see what Mo Xiao was dragging in his hand.
No, that's not a thing, it's a person, an orc!
"Is that...A Xiang?" an orc in the crowd said tremblingly.
Ah Xiang, the orc on patrol today.
Mu Qingqing also realized something at this time and asked hurriedly.
"Are all the orcs patrolling today here?"
The crowd was silent.
Mu Qingqing's heart sank suddenly.
There were five orcs on patrol. Could it be that they all met with an accident?
Mu Qingqing groped forward two steps and then turned on the flashlight again.
At this time, Mo Xiao had already arrived in front of her, which scared Mu Qingqing so much that he felt like a ghost.
She pounded his shoulder in a reproachful manner and asked, "Is it Ah Xiang?"
Mo Xiao's deep voice came from the darkness.
"I don't know. I found it when I was at the entrance of the tribe."
Mu Qingqing hesitated and asked, "You've already walked to the entrance of the tribe? Can you see it?"
"I can't see it, I can only feel it."
Well, Moshe is gifted.
Mu Qingqing changed the flashlight and turned it towards Mo Xiao.
Seeing the situation in front of her, Mu Qingqing gasped in horror and almost fell down. Fortunately, Bao Sel behind her supported her.
Ah Xiang was dead. He looked extremely miserable, with only half of his body left, his intestines exposed, as if he had been torn apart by a wild beast...
Ah Xiang's death is chilling.
The flashlight went out and Mu Qingqing turned to her tribesmen.
"When was the last time you saw Ah Xiang today? Was there anything unusual?"
Someone responded.
"At noon, Ah Xiang and I had barbecue together. Ah Xiang told me that after the patrols over the past two days, he saved up some silver coins and planned to go to the beast master to exchange them for some wine..."
Unexpectedly, the person disappeared at night.
"Then what sound did you hear..."
Before Mu Qingqing could finish her words, Mo Xiao gently interrupted her.
"Qingqing, he died not long ago."
Mu Qingqing's eyelids twitched.
It has only been half an hour since darkness began, which means Ah Xiang died not far from them. Then why was there no sound at all?
As for the rest of the orcs...
Someone asked Mu Qingqing for a flashlight and wanted to go out to find other orcs, but was stopped by Mu Qingqing.
"I know you are good brothers, but the current situation is not optimistic. If nothing unexpected happens..."
Mu Qingqing's eyes dimmed.
"The other four orcs also met with misfortune..."
The tribesmen clenched their fists and asked hoarsely, "Have wild beasts entered the tribe? Or have the dark beasts really come?"
At this moment, several heart-wrenching cries were heard not far away. They were the cries of females and cubs.
It is the natural duty of the orcs to protect females and cubs. When they heard the crying, their faces changed.
The crowd began to stir again.
Mu Qingqing was also anxious, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't panic.
"Do you know which female was crying just now?"
"It seems to be the voice of Ah Hui and her cub."
Ah Hui is Lu Xi's partner, and Lu Xi is also one of the orcs patrolling today.
Mu Qingqing took out hundreds of flashlights from the space and gave them to Bao Sel, asking him to distribute them. Then she took a few orcs who knew the way and Mo Xiao to go to Ahui's house to check the situation.
The closer we got to Ah Hui's home, the louder the crying of Ah Hui and her baby became.
The neighbor next door groped in the dark to see how Ah Hui was doing.
But when they touched the bloody corpse on the ground, they couldn't help but be horrified.
When they were about a hundred meters away, Mu Qingqing turned on a high-intensity flashlight.
The neighbors then saw the scene clearly and collapsed to the ground in fear.
"Beast Master!"
They called out helplessly.
Mu Qingqing heard the voice and responded quickly.
"I'll be there soon, don't be afraid."
The group stumbled and knocked over several flower jars on the roadside, and finally, they arrived at the door of Ahui's house.
With three seconds of light, everyone saw Ah Hui and her cub sitting on the ground with grief and fear on their faces, with Ah Hui still holding Lu Xi's upper body in her hands.
The upper body is only half of the body.
A large amount of blood flowed from the body, some of which had already dried up.
Both mother and son were sitting in a pool of blood, with Lu Xi's half-broken body lying dead with his eyes open next to them. The scene was somewhat horrifying.
Mu Qingqing felt very upset when she saw Lu Xi, who was only two years old, sitting in a pool of blood.
"Ahui, Mingming is scared."
Mingming, Lu Xi’s little cub.
Ah Hui recovered from her grief, perhaps because the arrival of Mu Qingqing and the others made her feel less helpless.
Ah Hui sobbed, groped the little cub's body, then slowly picked him up, whimpering in pain.
A few minutes later, several people entered Ahui's room.
"Ahui, I know you are sad, but you have to cheer up now. You can see that there is no moon outside, and even my flashlight can't last for a few seconds, so can you tell me how you found Lu Xi?"
Ah Hui closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The fishy smell lingered in her nose. She couldn't help but shed tears from her red and swollen eyes.
She said in a trembling voice.
"My eyes suddenly went dark, but I was holding Mingming, so I didn't feel scared. I was just worried about Xi. He was on patrol today, and I was worried that he wouldn't be able to find his way home. So I lit a candle and went out..."
"The candle went out very quickly. It went out before I could see clearly. But later I got used to the light of the candle and went to the place where Ah Xi often patrolled..."
Mu Qingqing nodded, remembering the dirt on A Ling's body she had just seen, and she probably fell a few times.
"But I didn't see him until I was stumbling homewards and fumbling for a candle, and then I saw, I saw ..."
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about what comes next.
Everyone began to become silent.
"Beast Master, why did Axi become like this?" A Hui said hoarsely.
The family was just living a good life and the cold winter was about to pass, but Ah Xi died.
No one could answer Ah Hui's question.
"Just like Xiong Xiang, he died not long ago." Mo Xiao concluded.
His deep voice had a reassuring quality.
"Why didn't Xi call for help? If he had made a sound, maybe we could..."
The beastmen who were on good terms with Lu Xi said in pain, holding their heads.
They also found it difficult to accept the news that Lu Xi had died in such a miserable way.
Lu Xi's death once again verified the possibility that the other three orcs were killed.
Even Mu Qingqing didn't know what to do at this time.
"Gather everyone together first." Lang Yi's voice suddenly appeared at the door.
Mu Qingqing picked up the flashlight and shone it.
There was a little monkey hanging on Lang Yi's body, and the two of them didn't seem to be affected much.
"No need to guess, it's the Eastern dark beast that hasn't appeared in decades."
