Chapter 367 It’s bad luck for you
The eldest prince forced a stiff smile and quickly nodded, "I will have them investigate."
Xia Weier threw the Beast King's corpse at the First Prince's feet: "You two are a loving father and son, so I'll leave it to you to deal with!"
Xia Weier looked coldly at the Second Prince who had rushed over, then turned to Long Ze: "Give him the token!"
On his way there, the Second Prince overheard the orcs around him discussing the arrival of the Beast God. He now knew that Xia Weier had not lied to him.
However, when he saw Long Ze return the token to him, his eyes instantly turned red.
Xia Weier frowned: "What? I returned the token to you because I used it up and didn't need it anymore. Your cub is fine and still alive."
Xia Weier curled his lips into a wicked smile and chuckled softly, his voice loud enough for the remaining beastmen to hear clearly:
"I thought you would be like the eldest, willing to sacrifice a cub and reap the benefits while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! But it turns out you came all alone for your cub?"
"What if I'm lying to you? Tsk tsk tsk... What an idiot! Your way of protecting your family is to become a lackey of the person who wants you dead. I can't even imagine what a dumber orc you could come up with!"
Xia Weier glanced at the second brother and left.
The eldest prince's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
The other orcs looked at the eldest prince, then at the second prince, and finally at the third prince, whose back was now the only thing visible, and seemed to be deep in thought.
Long Ze caught up with Xia Weier: "You have designs on the position of Beast King?"
Xia Weier frowned, looking at Long Ze as if he were an idiot: "Am I crazy? Is that kind of life where I get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs, calculating everything, and if I don't do well, I'll be blamed and targeted by the Witch Doctor's Hospital, the Priest's Hospital, and even other beast cities and tribes? Does that look like the life I want?"
Long Ze frowned slightly, looked at Xia Weier in thought for a moment, and then chuckled softly: "I hope you can dodge it!"
Long Ze then said to Xia Weier, "I have some things to take care of. Once I'm done, I'll head back."
Xia Weier nodded: "Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait until they finish this joint conference before we can leave."
Long Ze nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned and left with some orcs.
Xia Weier chuckled. He knew that exposing the First Prince like that by the side of the sacrificial prayer square would definitely lower the impression of the First Prince among the orcs from the Witch Doctor's Hospital, the Priest's Court, the Beast City, and the various tribes.
The second child is genuinely not very smart.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers are still stationed in the beast city during the beast tide season...
The one with the best chance of winning is Xia Weier.
Given that both he and the Beast God are the Beast Husbands of the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue, Xia Weier will most likely receive the most votes when choosing the next Beast King.
Xia Weier didn't want to be the Beast King, but if the position of Beast King could bring him a lot of benefits, he would be willing to do it reluctantly.
The eldest prince checked the Beast King's pulse and confirmed that he was completely dead. He gritted his teeth and whispered to his seriously injured uncle, "Uncle, let's go."
However, when they returned to the Crown Prince's residence, the great shaman of the Mingguang Crane Clan examined their injuries and frowned deeply.
"What's wrong, Great Witch Doctor?" The eldest prince looked at the Great Witch Doctor in confusion.
After pondering for a long time, the great shaman said, "The Crown Prince and the elders' injuries are mixed with fire poison. These injuries are very difficult to heal. With my abilities, I'm afraid I can't do it. We need to find the Iron Cup Great Shaman, or better yet, the Silver Cup Great Shaman to treat them."
The Crown Prince's gentle expression changed slightly, and then he heard the Great Healer say, "This still needs to be treated as soon as possible. I feel that the fire poison is constantly damaging the Crown Prince and the Elder's bodies."
The eldest prince's expression changed drastically, and he ordered his guards to accompany the great shaman to invite the Silver Cup Great Shaman.
After all the orcs in the room were cleared out, the eldest prince activated the isolation array, his face grim:
"Bitch! They are all bitches!"
"The second son is disobedient, the third son is a bastard's daughter, and even his partner is a bastard! And then there's the Beast King, that useless beast king!"
The elder sighed and remained silent.
The victor is king, the loser is villain. They knew the Beast King's whereabouts were somewhat strange, and they had noticed it.
Although they didn't know exactly as Xia Weier had said that the Beast King was going to attack the cubs, they had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Today's unexpected turn of events has occurred, but in the end, Xia Weier still pointed out in front of everyone that the eldest prince wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
All the beastmen looked at the eldest prince, but the elders could see clearly that the beastmen from the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Hospital did not look unaware of the situation when they looked at the eldest prince.
Before leaving, the Beast God told them not to make a fuss, but what the Beast God touched between the eyebrows of the orcs in the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Court was perhaps the same thing that Xia Weier and Long Ze had foresee.
The elder thought for a moment, then sighed, "Forget it, Your Highness, what are your plans next?"
The eldest prince's handsome face twisted into a ferocious grimace: "So close! So close! I would have been willing to sacrifice my cub! So close!"
Seeing this, the elder couldn't help but tear up, and patted the eldest prince on the shoulder: "Never mind, never mind..."
The eldest prince slammed his fist on the exquisitely carved stone table in anger, roaring in frustration, "I still have a chance! The alliance conference hasn't even started yet! We can still promise benefits to the tribes! We can also promise benefits to the beast cities..."
The elder felt that the eldest prince was going mad, so he grabbed his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "It's no use! The third prince can offer them more benefits! They want that more!"
"Almost all the tribes and beast cities know that the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue is developing herbs to increase the birth rate of female offspring! Unless our Mingguanghe tribe's great shaman can cultivate such herbs, we have no chance of winning!"
"These tribes and beast cities will definitely support making the Third Prince the next Beast King!"
"The Witch Doctor Hospital will definitely side with Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue! They will vote for the Third Prince to get closer to Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue! Once the academy in Hope Beast City is established, they will definitely arrange for the children of the Witch Doctor Hospital who are not good at witch medicine to study under Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue's planting academy!"
"Not to mention the Priestess's side! The Priestess's side reveres the Beast God more than any other force!"
"We...have no chance of winning!"
The eldest prince clutched his head and roared, "Ah!"
He swept everything off the table like a madman, screaming in despair, "I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this! I've planned this for so long! I've endured this for so long! Why! Why! What does all my years of endurance mean!"
He had only shouted twice when he was overcome with rage and, under the influence of the fire poison, vomited a mouthful of blood.
The eldest prince's uncle was so frightened that he quickly helped the eldest prince up.
"My nephew! Are you alright?!"
The eldest prince had just opened his mouth when another mouthful of blood gushed out, and he fainted.
