Chapter 218 Hidden Stone
Chapter 218 Hidden Stone
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "I know, but don't worry, I have some ways to make sure I'm safe!"
Qin Ye still objected to Ruan Xiyue going alone. Although it had only snowed for the first time and it wasn't yet the dead of winter, the nights were cold, and Ruan Xiyue, a female, alone in the wild...
Qin Ye felt his heart pound just imagining it.
Long Ze, however, suppressed his worries and said to Ruan Xiyue, "If you want to go, I won't stop you. I'll draw out the activity points of the wandering beastmen from our tribe to the Crocodile Tribe for you."
"If you have any problems, you can go to them. Just tell them your name is Long Xin. Then I will give you a hide scroll. You can show them the hide scroll and then make any requests to them."
“There may be no orcs left in some places. You can stay there temporarily.”
Jiu Chen took a deep breath and asked Ruan Xiyue, "Do we really have to go today?"
Ruan Xiyue nodded, then added, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days if things go smoothly. Maybe I can even go out with Long Ze when he changes shifts."
Jiu Chen sighed and took out a jade crystal from his storage bag. The jade crystal was covered with small red runes.
Long Ze lifted his eyelids and looked at Jiu Chen. He knew that this was a concealment stone specially carved with the high priest's heart's blood as an auxiliary material.
This is a secret technique. He had heard of it before, but this was the first time he had ever seen it.
Jiu Chen handed the jade crystal to Ruan Xiyue: "This is a concealment stone. Hold it in your hand and activate it with your superpower to conceal your aura and superpower rank."
Unless you're an orc whose ability level is two or three ranks higher than yours, no orc will be able to detect your presence when you're hidden and motionless.
Ruan Xiyue took the Concealment Stone, kissed Jiu Chen, and said, "I will heal you when I return."
No wonder Jiu Chen was so weak a few days ago. Ruan Xiyue thought it was because he was busy breaking the slave mark.
Now Duoduo has already told her in her mind that Jiuchen used his heart's blood to make this for her.
They knew they couldn't persuade Ruan Xiyue.
We can only hope that she has a better chance of winning.
In her previous life, Ruan Xiyue had also experienced the dangers of traveling at night in winter during national wars.
Now she also has wings, a map, and many other support abilities.
The Red Fox Tribe has already made two moves. The first was to ambush Xia Weier and his group; without the Hyena Tribe, Xia Weier would certainly be dead. The second was a few days ago, when they sent wandering orcs to scout out the Cheetah Tribe and the Lion Tribe.
There's one, there's two, but no three, right?
If they make their third move, won't she be on the defensive the whole time?
On this day, Long Ze, Qin Ye, and Jiu Chen were all silent. After finishing her dinner, Ruan Xiyue hugged them one by one, and then went up to the roof of the stone house under the cover of night.
She donned her empowered wings, used a red-tier beast core as an empowerment, and enhanced her wind-type abilities before soaring directly into the sky.
The night was as dark as ink, and she, dressed in a black linen outfit, blended into the darkness and flew directly towards the crocodile tribe.
With the map unfolding and Duo Duo directly broadcasting the information to Ruan Xiyue's mind, Ruan Xiyue arrived at the top of a group of wandering orcs who were plotting to attack the Cheetah Tribe.
"It's too cold! If they hadn't offered such a high salary this time, I really wouldn't have taken this job!"
The leader of the wandering orcs sat before the fire, roaring, "Brothers! We haven't tasted victory in ages! Now it's time for us to show our strength! After this heist, we can enjoy the rest of the winter to the fullest!"
His eyes gleamed with greed: "The females of the Cheetah Tribe are waiting for us there. We're going to snatch them and make them our spoils!"
He warmed his hands and continued, “We will create chaos, set fire to their tribes, and plunge them into panic! Then we can quickly burn, kill, and plunder, taking all their wealth back to our territory!”
One member shouted excitedly, "Leader, I'll listen to you! We'll definitely succeed! Those cheetah orcs never expected us to attack them when the beast tide arrives!"
Another member said slyly, "That's right, we'll catch them off guard and deliver a fatal blow! By the time they realize what's happening, we'll already be out there with the spoils!"
The leader continued, "We need to split into several groups. One group will be responsible for setting fires, one group for looting, and one group for protecting our retreat. Everyone must cooperate closely and there can be no mistakes!"
He unfolded a simple map drawn on an animal skin scroll, pointed to the location of the Cheetah Tribe, and continued, "We'll infiltrate from here, quietly approach their tribe, and then launch a surprise attack. The arson team will set fire to the center of the tribe, creating maximum chaos!"
The members nodded in agreement.
The leader continued, "The robbery team must act quickly and bring all the females back. We need to select the most beautiful females to bear our cubs!"
One member asked, "So where do we run to after we've looted everything?"
The leader sneered, "Of course we need to find a secluded place to hide and come back after things have calmed down. We can hide in the mountains, where there is plenty of food and water, and we can enjoy our spoils there!"
The orcs listened to their leader's plan, their faces lighting up with excitement. They imagined the impending victory, the screams of the cheetahs, and the cries of the females.
One of the orcs said, "Chief, I can't wait! I want to show those cheetahs what we're made of!"
Another member said, "That's right, we'll make the neighboring tribes fear us! We'll turn their tribes into ruins! That'll make our beastly wandering orc tribe famous!"
The leader, seeing the orcs' excited expressions, felt a surge of pride.
He knew that if they could successfully raid the Cheetah Tribe, they would receive a hefty reward and might even become leaders within the wandering orc organization.
He said, "Brothers, if we succeed, we will enjoy endless wealth and power. We can even defeat the Yama Beast and become true powerhouses!"
The members cheered, their voices echoing across the wilderness, filled with confidence and anticipation.
Ruan Xiyue coldly watched this group of idiots, who were openly plotting loudly in the wilderness... Did they really think it was too cold for any beastmen to pass by?
Ruan Xiyue took the concealment stone that Jiu Chen had given her and silently landed behind the group of orcs.
She took out the crossbow and arrows she had redeemed with 8,000 points in the system shop, intending to practice on these orcs.
