Chapter 345 Rescue
At night, several figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Not far from Qingcheng, more than a dozen orcs gathered by the lake, and it was unknown what they were trying to salvage.
One of the orcs swam out of the lake and started cursing after getting ashore, "Damn it! A bunch of greedy foreign orcs! Why didn't we let them die of illness back then? We've almost caught all the adult Anlu turtles in this lake.
They really treat us like fools, don't they? There are only a dozen orcs, even if they want to treat the disease, do they need hundreds of Anlu turtles?"
"Stop talking. If you're bothered by us, we won't be. Now we can only wait for the River Witch to successfully poison us. Then we'll have a chance to rescue Shanshan and the others without having to be so restrained."
Another orc standing by the lake threw a piece of animal skin to the orc and said coldly, "When you catch them, you can curse them however you want."
"...I wonder how Xiaoxiao and the others are doing?"
The orc was silent for a moment. "Most of those dozen orcs were males. If Xiaoxiao and Ah He hadn't wanted to protect He Wu and Shan Shan from harm, they wouldn't have volunteered to be handed over to those foreign orcs."
When the two females were mentioned, the orcs who were originally standing had a slightly gloomy expression. Qingcheng had so many males, but in the end, they could only rely on two females to act as internal support.
And they might even be subjected to inhuman torture there.
"Just wait, those orcs won't even think about leaving here."
They will get back everything the cubs and the two females have suffered.
A dozen orcs were busy until the sky was almost bright, and they only managed to catch more than fifty Anlu turtles.
Even if they knew this, the Anlu turtles would definitely not satisfy them. However, there were really no adult Anlu turtles in the lake. Among the more than 50 Anlu turtles, more than half were still minors.
The orcs held the Anlu turtles in their hands and couldn't help cursing a few words.
In their haste to deliver the goods, they did not notice that there were several orcs hiding in the woods by the lake. After they walked away, two males holding the female in their arms, one jumped down from the tree, and the other came from behind the tree.
Hua Wu looked at the place where the orcs had left and sighed, "I never thought something like this would happen in Qingcheng. No wonder they were so wary of us."
If a tribe has no females and cubs, it will sooner or later decline.
This is a major event that concerns the development of the entire tribe, no wonder they kept it secret so tightly.
Yu He nodded slightly, then looked towards the lake. "From what the orcs said, the An Lu turtle is very effective in curing strange diseases. Otherwise, those foreign orcs wouldn't have designed to capture the cubs and females and force them to go down to the lake every day to fish for the An Lu turtles."
Hua Wu followed her gaze and said, "So what do you think? You also want to go down and catch the Anlu turtle, and use it when you go to Yunze."
Yu He shook his head. "Didn't you hear what they said? There aren't many Anlu turtles left here. Even if I caught a few and took them to Yunze, what would happen? Can I really rely on a few Anlu turtles to save those orcs with strange diseases?"
"Then you can catch a few and take them back to study them!"
As Hua Wu said this, she asked her beast husband to go down to the lake to catch it.
Yu He watched the actions of Hua Wu and her beast husband without saying a word, but just lowered her head and pondered how to gain the trust of the Qingcheng orcs.
"You want to start with those foreign orcs?"
Qing Fan is a smart orc. Even if Yu He didn't say it, he could immediately react when he saw her shining eyes looking at him after she thought about it, combined with what she had just said.
Yu He couldn't help laughing, "How did you guess so accurately? I want to know the Anlu turtle's daily diet and habitat, and whether the orcs in Qingcheng have not contracted the strange disease in Yunze because they have eaten Anlu turtle.
Maybe we can find a solution to Yunze's strange illness before we go there?"
Qing Fan smiled at her and nodded, "Then it seems we need to help them."
"Is it troublesome? Do you need me to provide you with some poison?"
Yu He really wanted to find an orc to try out her poison, but unfortunately, no orc along the way was stupid enough to fight a team with white tiger orcs.
Although Hei Yao liked to come over and try some poison when Yu He was researching it, his body was very resistant to poison. Unless Yu He was researching poisons that could paralyze the nerves, other poisons would be useless to him.
Thinking of this, Yu He felt sorry for the poisons that Hei Yao had eaten, and she couldn't help her test the effects. Why would he eat the poison she made for no reason? She felt so sorry for her.
Qing Fan wanted to say that as long as he didn't encounter purple-level orcs, saving a few cubs would be no waste of effort for him.
But when the words came to his lips, he nodded, "Maybe a little, so I still have to trouble Ah He to prepare some poison for us."
Yu He immediately rushed towards Qing Fan with joy, "I knew you were the best, Afan!"
Qing Fan smiled as he hugged the female and kissed her forehead. "Since Ah He said so, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Yu He looked up, seeing the gentle indulgence on the male's face. The throbbing in her heart seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer. She wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes and kissed him fiercely.
Two figures entangled under the tree, and the temperature in the air suddenly rose little by little.
.......
After Yu He returned to the yard, he began to wait casually for Qing Fan and others to bring good news, but until dark, Qing Fan and A Er and others had not returned yet.
Hei Yao, who stayed in the yard to look after her, saw her still waiting at the door and couldn't help but frowned, "What are you still sitting here waiting for? Didn't you ask them to help rescue people? Now you're worried?"
Yu He propped his chin up with both hands, and said unhappily, "I didn't know it would take them so long."
She thought that once Qingfan and A'er took action, the cubs and females in Qingcheng could be rescued quickly. But it was already dark and she still hadn't seen them come back.
"Qing Fan is a purple-rank orc. How could he be in trouble? If there is any trouble, it will be another orc."
Unable to bear seeing her care so much about the male peacock, Hei Yao not only spoke harshly, but also blatantly started to speak his mind in front of Yu He, "He didn't come back so late, maybe he was entangled by a female while rescuing someone.
And when you wake up tomorrow, you will see him bringing a female to see you."
Hearing this, Yu He couldn't help but glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, Afan is not that kind of orc."
But having said that, she couldn't help but feel worried when she thought of Qing Fan's very feminine face.
She just wanted to know the effect of the Anlu Turtle on curing strange diseases, and helping to save people was the most legitimate way she could think of to get all the information. But she hoped that it would be like what Hei Yao said, saving people would bring trouble.
However, it was not known whether it was because Hei Yao's snake mouth was blessed, or Qing Fan was really so unlucky, but the more Yu He didn't want something to happen, the more it happened the next day.
