Chapter 137 Big Tree
Chapter 137 Big Tree
By the time Su Ling and his group hid the supplies and carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers of the Fierce Lion Tribe, they arrived at the Fierce Lion Tribe. It was already the sixth day later.
Following the guidance left by Lang Ji and his men, they found a very hidden cave before dark, and everyone was finally reunited.
The cave is located on a mountain behind the Fierce Lion Tribe. From the cave, one can vaguely see the outline of the tribe below the mountain, but one can never see what's going on in the cave from the tribe. The orcs in the tribe can't hear any noise coming from here.
The entrance of the cave is covered with many vines. If Hu Di had not been extremely hungry and secretly ran to this mountain to find food, and accidentally saw a cuckoo beast crawling in, he would have followed it in and discovered that there was actually a cave here. Otherwise, no one would have discovered it.
Hu Di reported to Hu Yi what he had learned from the Fierce Lion Tribe and that he had successfully persuaded all the slaves to rebel.
"You don't know, when I secretly went to the Fierce Lion Tribe for the second time, I found out that everyone in the cave knew about my conversation with Hu Tan that night! I was really shocked at that time." Hu Di couldn't help showing a scared expression when he said this, "Fortunately, those slaves actually had the idea of rebelling against the Fierce Lion Tribe a long time ago, so they didn't report us, but were willing to cooperate with us."
After hearing Hu Di's story, everyone in the cave breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.
However, Hu Yi showed no expression, and just said calmly: "You are not vigilant enough. You need to strengthen your training after returning to Rising Sun City."
After hearing this, Hu Di immediately nodded, indicating that he understood. After all, he was in charge of this reconnaissance operation. If it were not for good luck, those slaves would have wanted to escape, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Su Ling said worriedly at this time: "Although they said they would join us to fight against the Fierce Lion Tribe, will they have any problems? Will they have any ulterior motives when taking action?"
Hu Di explained, "Don't worry, Hu Tan and the others will keep an eye on them. Besides, the Fierce Lion Tribe is very harsh on slaves right now. Slaves are beaten and killed every day, and they don't have enough food to eat. If they continue like this, they will die in the Fierce Lion Tribe sooner or later. Even if they have any other intentions, they will wait until they leave the Fierce Lion Tribe."
"No matter what, we still need to pay attention to their movements. We can't let them cause the operation to fail. We can't afford to lose now, and I don't want any casualties among my brothers." Hu Yi said.
He came to the trading market this time with the intention of gathering information alone, but he thought he had met Hu Di. In the end, everyone decided to come to the Fierce Lion Tribe with him earlier, so he had the responsibility to bring everyone back to the tribe safely.
"I understand. I will sneak into the tribe again tomorrow and remind Hu Tan. So what is our next plan? Can you tell me now? When I enter the Lieshi Tribe tomorrow, I will tell everyone so that they can cooperate together at that time." Hu Di asked.
"Yes, chief, what do you need us to do?" Hushan asked excitedly.
The others also looked at Hu Yi, with eager expressions on their faces.
Under everyone's inquiring eyes, Hu Yi lowered his serious expression and told Su Ling about the plan he and Su Ling had discussed during this period, "According to Hu Di's recent inquiries, in three days, the Lieshi tribe will hold its monthly gathering.
On that day, Hu Di, you will bring the anesthetic into the tribe and find a way to get the tribe members to take it, and then we will charge in."
Shi Ling, the chief of the Fierce Lion Tribe, is a very arrogant man. He gathers all the tribe members together every month just to get everyone to praise him.
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
Hu Yi nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Hu Di, "Hu Di, this mission is difficult, but I believe you can complete it. Remember, you must be careful and not be discovered."
Hu Di nodded, "Don't worry, Chief, I will definitely deliver the potion to the tribe."
"Okay, everyone take a good rest these two days. We will have a tough battle to fight in three days." Hu Yi said.
"Yes, chief."
After that, everyone found a place to rest in the cave.
At night, the bright moonlight poured in through the gaps in the vines. The sound of snoring could be heard in the cave. There was no sleepiness in Su Ling's eyes. She gently adjusted her body while lying in Hu Yi's arms.
As soon as Su Ling made a move, Hu Yi opened his eyes and asked softly, "Can't sleep?"
"I woke you up." Su Ling said apologetically.
Hu Yi pulled the person into his arms and said, "No, you are not asleep. How could I be asleep? What's wrong? Are you worried about the action in three days?"
Hearing this, Su Ling buried her face in his neck and said softly, "Yes, a little, but you don't have to worry about me, it will be fine slowly."
Hu Yi was silent for a while, then he sat up with the person in his arms, "Let's go out for a walk."
Su Ling was somewhat tempted, but thinking that she was not in Rising Sun City now, she said worriedly, "But won't we be discovered?"
"It's okay. It's so late now. Everyone in the Fierce Lion Tribe is sleeping. No one will come. It's okay to go out for a while. Let's go." After saying that, he put the animal skins draped over the two people aside, pulled them up and walked out of the cave.
Su Ling followed Hu Yi and walked out of the cave quietly. The moonlight outside the cave was brighter, and she could see the general situation around her without any lighting.
However, because this is in the mountains and forests, the moonlight is still mostly blocked, and if you are not careful, it is easy to trip over the messy plants on the ground.
After exiting the cave, Hu Yi squatted down and said, "You can't see clearly on the ground. Come up. I'll carry you on my back."
Su Ling also knew her situation and obediently lay on Hu Yi's broad back.
After everyone lay down, Hu Yi stood up and walked forward easily. His walking speed was not affected by the night.
About ten minutes later, Hu Yi carried Su Ling to a big tree and said, "Hold her tight, let's go up the tree."
Looking up, Su Ling saw a ten-meter-tall tree. It took at least three people to hug the trunk of the tree. It was lush and green with branches and leaves.
Su Ling hugged Hu Yi's neck tightly after hearing that, and Hu Yi transformed into a beast with claws, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Shaking her head, Su Ling realized that the tiger couldn't see her. "Don't be afraid. I'm ready. Let's go up."
"Okay." Hu Yi dug his claws into the tree and slowly climbed up with Su Ling on his back. When they were about five meters high, many branches grew on the tree.
Hu Yi found a large branch and climbed up, then put Su Ling down. The branch was about fifty to sixty centimeters in diameter, so he didn't have to worry about falling after sitting down.
