A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Chapter 144 The Eve of the Decisive Battle

Hu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly picked up a stone at his feet and threw it towards the bushes not far away.

The stone hit the grass with a crisp sound, which attracted the attention of the tall orc guarding the warehouse. He stared at the grass nervously, transformed a pair of sharp claws, and approached cautiously to guard against possible danger.

When he approached the grass, he pushed aside the half-man-high grass and looked inside. However, he frowned. Apart from some messy grass leaves, he did not find anything unusual. He thought that perhaps the wind had knocked something down, and laughed at himself for making a fuss out of nothing.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he was about to turn around and return to the warehouse to continue guarding, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the head, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

Hu Yi retracted his fist, squatted down and poured some of the anesthetic solution into the beast's mouth, making sure that the orc would not wake up for the whole day. He turned to look at Hu Di who came over and ordered: "You drag this man to the side and hide him. I will go to the warehouse to look for him first."

Hu Di nodded and said, "Okay!"

So the two of them took action separately.

Hu Yi walked into the cave and was surprised to find that the internal space was so large, even two or three times larger than the cave that they used as a warehouse in Rising Sun City. Moreover, this cave was divided into two layers, inner and outer.

The outer layer was filled with food and other items that were difficult to preserve for a long time, while the inner layer was filled with animal skins, cloth, pottery and other durable goods. However, they were not sorted and just piled up randomly, making them look particularly messy.

Hu Yi quickly checked the outer cave, but the large pottery jars were empty and he did not find any wine. He frowned and felt a little doubtful. Could it be that they guessed wrong?

Hu Yi walked into the inner cave unwillingly, looking around sharply.

Suddenly, his attention was attracted by several large pottery jars sealed with animal skins in the corner. He immediately walked forward and carefully peeled off the animal skin on one of the pottery jars. A strong smell of alcohol wafted into his nose.

The jar was full of wine, but it looked a little turbid. Hu Yi was delighted, he had finally found it. He hurriedly picked up the small bottle next to it and poured the anesthetic into the wine. Then he opened another wine jar and poured the medicine into it as well.

After doing all this, Hu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but when he realized that the wine in the two wine jars was not milk wine, his mood became heavy again. It seemed that the beast milk wine they were looking for was not here.

At this moment, Hu Di walked in quickly and asked anxiously, "Hu Yi, the other orc will be back soon, and the patrol team will also come here for inspection. Is the potion ready?"

Hu Yi quickly resealed the wine jar and replied, "It's ready, but there's no beast milk wine here. We have to leave as soon as possible."

The two looked at each other and decided to give up the search for animal milk wine for the time being and leave this place first, knowing that time was running out and the consequences would be disastrous if they were discovered.

The two men quickly left the cave and hid in a secluded place. Just as they hid, the fat orc returned to the cave entrance, but he didn't see the tall orc who should be guarding the warehouse, and he felt very confused.

Just then, another patrol team came over. He didn't have time to think about it and could only deal with the situation at hand.

The patrol leader asked seriously, "Aren't there two of you guarding the warehouse together? Where is the other one?"

The fat orc quickly showed a flattering smile, nodded and explained: "Oh, he had a stomachache and ran away to solve the problem. Don't worry, we will take good care of the warehouse."

The patrol leader frowned after hearing this, looking at the fat orc in front of him, wondering if they had embezzled money while guarding the warehouse, which was why they were so fat. So he looked even more unfavorable to the fat orc, snorted coldly and said: "Humph! If I find you not guarding the warehouse seriously next time, I will report to the tribe leader and replace you two." After that, he ignored the fat orc and led the patrol team to leave.

The fat orc dared not speak out, and could only snort in his heart: Humph, why are you so arrogant? Isn't it just that you are a little stronger? Be careful or you will be eaten by wild beasts tomorrow.

No one expected that other people had entered their warehouse just before they arrived. After all, they all thought that the current Fierce Lion Tribe was the most powerful tribe in the East Wasteland Plain. Everyone was arrogant and thought that no one would dare to go against them. Only those who didn't want to live would dare to provoke the Fierce Lion Tribe.

After a while, the tall orc still hadn't come back, so the fat orc couldn't help cursing, "That damn guy must have gone out to slack off again! This bastard is always like this, always leaving me alone to guard the warehouse until dawn. I will never guard the warehouse with him again."

Seeing that the fat orc had not shown any suspicion and had already found a place to sit down and take a nap, Hu Yi lowered his voice and said, "Let's go back first. The tribe is so big, and we don't know where they put the beast milk wine. If we continue looking for it, we might be discovered. We'll see what happens tomorrow."

Hu Di nodded, and the two of them quietly withdrew from the Fierce Lion Tribe.

When they returned to the cave where they were hiding, everyone was waiting for them. Hu Yi saw Su Ling walking towards him and asked with concern, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't sleep. Is everything done?" Su Ling asked nervously.

After pulling everyone aside to sit down, Hu Yi told them about their actions today.

"That means it's impossible for all the people in the Fierce Lion Tribe to be infected tomorrow." Lang Ji said with a frown.

"Hey, what's the big deal? When the time comes, I will let them see the strength of our Rising Sun City. Before, I thought that if they were all knocked down, then we would be useless and that would be too boring. I didn't expect that there would be a battle between us. I will knock them all down." Hushan waved his fist and made bold statements.

Hu Yi nodded and said, "Well, so tomorrow's battle may not be as easy as we thought before."

"Yes, but it's good this way. It's a good opportunity for us to test the results of our training during this period." Lang Ji said with a smile.

"That's right, as long as we unite as one, we will be able to defeat the Fierce Lion Tribe!" Hushan echoed.

"Okay, then let's cheer together!" Hu Yi clapped his hands and said to encourage morale, "Okay, it's late, everyone should rest and get enough energy to face tomorrow's battle. Let me see if you have made any progress."

"Yes, chief."

No one stayed any longer and everyone went to find a place to rest.
