Chapter 386 What is a temple?
All the children excitedly surrounded and attacked the two fallen leopard-headed soldiers.
Every move they made was aimed at the vital points. Once they were sure they had killed everyone, they swaggered off with Huangfu Zique to gather the next wave of enemies.
They were truly like they were on steroids, wanting nothing more than to keep killing until all their enemies were wiped out.
On the enemy's side, a leopard-headed man with the most ferocious-looking face had his eyes half-closed and his expression solemn.
His gaze swept over the few newly joined white-skinned orcs on the enemy side. He couldn't understand how a situation that was sure to be won had suddenly turned into this.
Even if the fight continues, he is still confident of victory, because his tribe has brought more than just these two thousand troops.
Besides, there's also the bear clan next door, eager to reap the benefits.
The Beast Tribe's fate is sealed; it's useless for anyone to join unless people from other forests want to conquer Taihe Forest.
The sacred tree can only belong to their leopard clan!
The Taihe Forest was previously ruled by the Leopard Clan and the Bear Clan. If it weren't for the arrival of the Divine Tree a thousand years ago, the other clans wouldn't have gathered together to oppose them.
A whole thousand years! We were about to take it down, so why are there a few new faces appearing again?
The leopard clan leader didn't want his people to continue to be worn down. A Pyrrhic victory was not what he wanted to see, because there was also a bear clan whose strength was no less than theirs watching from the sidelines.
Today's preparations were too inadequate; we can only fight again tomorrow. I decisively shouted, "Retreat!"
His most capable general was killed by that long-haired white man. If the fighting continues, who knows how many more generals will be lost.
Upon hearing the order, the Leopard Head Army began to fight and retreat.
Having finally won a brilliant victory, the people of the Beast Tribe were not about to allow them to escape.
They all put in their best effort to catch up.
Even the leader of the Tiger Head tribe shared this opinion: they shouldn't be allowed to go back.
The leopard clan leader must be killed.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Tianhuang immediately stopped them, his voice authoritative and resounding: "Do not pursue a desperate enemy!"
Who knows if there are more people lying in ambush behind them?
"Go back, stop chasing!" Long Yuan blocked the tiger-headed leader with his wooden spear, looking at him sharply: "Too many wounded soldiers, they need immediate treatment."
“Yes, Chief, everyone is hungry. If we continue fighting, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold out for long.” A wolf-headed man placed his right hand on his chest, bowed respectfully, and offered his advice.
The tiger-headed leader scanned the area and saw that many people had indeed lost their fighting ability due to severe injuries. He patted his belly and realized he was indeed a little hungry!
Nodding in agreement, he said, "Alright, let's call it a day and return to the tribe immediately!"
Then he walked up to Long Yuan, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your righteous assistance, brave warriors."
May I ask where you all come from?
Why should we help them?
“We have never seen anything like this in the Taihe Forest…” The wolf-headed man standing beside the leader had a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Pointing his finger at the other's face, he said, "You beastmen with such appearances, may I ask what race you belong to?"
This person is... so ugly. Their skin is deathly pale all over, like they haven't seen the light in years.
How did they develop such formidable combat power?
And that face shape, it looks like it was flattened by something. Whose face doesn't grow outwards?
Why are their faces shrank inwards?
To put it bluntly, if these people weren't truly formidable in combat, the wolf-headed man would have been disgusted to the point of vomiting by their ugly appearance.
Therefore, aesthetic sense is something that follows ability.
The wolf-headed man, upon thinking of this fiend's overwhelming aura, not only didn't feel disgusted, but actually grew to like him after a while.
Long Yuan had no idea that his face, which was hailed by the people as the 'most handsome military king,' almost disgusted the other party.
Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.
Besides, since even a leader had given him such a high-level salute, he followed suit and returned the salute with a grand gesture.
Just as he was about to speak, the wolf-headed man had a sudden inspiration and, thinking himself clever, snapped his fingers: "You are the Golden Monkey Clan, aren't you?"
There are no golden monkey tribes in the village, but I have occasionally heard people mention the facial features of golden monkeys, such as their noses.
Longyuan: ...
Mu Zhen, Huangfu Zique, and others who gathered later: ...
What's wrong with that black wolf's eyes? How do they look like golden monkeys?
Emperor Tianhuang coughed lightly, stepped forward, placed his right hand on his heart, bowed slightly, and greeted the leader politely: "Hello, we are from the Ape Clan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Apes? You're apes?" Three men with ape-like heads stepped forward, looking the group up and down. "Upon closer inspection..."
They really do have a lot in common with us, haha! We're also apes, so we're of the same kind, right?
"Pretty much, we should share the same ancestor." Mu Zhen laughed awkwardly. Where are you similar? Your mouths protrude so much, and your noses are still sunken.
No matter how you look at it, you can't find anything in common, right?
"Where did you come from?" The tiger-headed boy stood straight beside the leader, his eyes pure and innocent, his little tiger head held high was quite cute.
Their eyes held nothing but friendliness, devoid of any impurities.
He liked and admired them very much.
Emperor Tianhuang smiled politely and answered fluently: "We come from a very distant great forest."
As expected, the leader felt a pang of unease, but kept it to himself. He tentatively asked, "Where are we going?"
Could they also be after the sacred tree?
Has the secret of the sacred tree in the distant forest been revealed so far?
This is not a good thing!
"We don't know where we're going either. We've come out to search for the legendary temples and shrines."
Does anyone know where there are any temples around here?
Emperor Tianhuang maintained a consistent expression throughout, and his demeanor was poised and composed, neither arrogant nor impatient.
His gaze was clear and his expression natural.
It was so well done that no one could tell there was any sign of disguise.
So he wasn't lying; he really wasn't after the sacred tree.
"A temple?" The leader searched his memories of over a hundred years, certain he had never heard of the word before. "What kind of place is that?"
“It’s a place where there are many monks chanting sutras,” Mu Zhen interjected.
"What is a monk?" The wolf-headed man scratched his head. "What does chanting scriptures mean?"
The six of them looked at each other and decided to figure out where they were first. They had never seen anyone like this before, let alone monks.
After a brief exchange, the leader had lowered all his guard against them.
Perhaps the orcs' mindset is just that 'simple'.
Not only did they stop being on guard, they even asked if they could stay in the Hundred Beasts Tribe forever instead of looking for any temple.
They will give them the highest treatment, and if all else fails, the leader can even relinquish his position to Emperor Tianhuang.
Why not give it to the strongest, Long Yuan? Even the Tiger Head leader couldn't figure it out. He just felt that this orc named Di Tianhuang gave him the most reassuring feeling.
