Chapter 117 The Truth
"Yes."Wen Zhao Ming did not beat around the bush, but gave a positive answer.And the other three of his kind were drenched to the bone. In addition, their roars had given out halfway through and they had died. Their mood was heavy, and they didn't know how to explain this to the chief.
They still don't know that warmth has returned, and they have given birth to their young.
"Roar!!!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When Chief Lin saw Xiao's body, he let out a wail and rushed towards it, but sadly, Xiao could no longer respond.
Lin looked at Xiao Jiao's charred body, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Yue Deng and the others, gritting his teeth and asking:
How did he die
He was intimidated by the chief's imposing presence and menacing glare, instinctively taking a step back before speaking:
"He was struck dead by lightning!"
A single word sent ripples through the crowd. Among the gathered kin, females gasped in surprise, while intelligent males already had their suspicions, though they frowned and remained silent. After all, this wasn't something to be proud of.
At this time, another ogre with a mouthful of growls opened his mouth:
"Chief, we were originally going to return to the tribe, but Xiao saw your people and they said there was warm news. It seems she's with the Peacock Clan. Xiao is very worried about Warmth, so he suggested that we go to the Peacock Clan as soon as possible to pick her up and temporarily not return to the tribe."
The three of us were just accompanying him to find some warmth, so we naturally had no objections. It's just that yesterday when we set out, the weather was overcast. According to our past experience, it should have been the first rain of the rainy season. We suggested waiting for the rain to stop before setting off.
"Xiao also agreed, at that time the four of us were walking together, but the next moment, without any warning, a bolt of lightning struck Xiao's head. Then the rain came down. At that time, Xiao still had a breath, so we raced back to the tribe all night, hoping the shaman could save him, unfortunately..."
After Ling's words, a terrifying silence descended upon the gathering. Everyone's gaze shifted to Chief Lin, their eyes now filled with a new intensity. In this hushed moment, a faint voice broke through:
He was struck by the beast god's punishment, it was his own doing! He hurt me, framed me and had me exiled from the tribe. He tried to kill me, leaving me for dead!
Unfortunately! I am blessed by the Beast God and saved by divine messengers. Today, the white tiger cub born to me is the best proof of this!
As the chieftain, Lin not only failed to help me seek justice but also shielded Xiao, aiding him in escaping punishment. Heaven-Beast above, I myself took action and punished Xiao!
All the orcs followed the sound and saw Qingtian supporting Wenwen, while the pale-faced Wenwen was accusing the chieftain of injustice, believing Xiao was deserving of his punishment.
Yue and several other barbarians who had rushed out, seeing the intact and warm dwelling, and after hearing her words, their faces changed instantly. They understood right away that the clansman who found the roar wasn't truly telling them where Warmth was, but rather wanted to keep Roar from returning to the tribe for a while.
But the selfish Howl didn't tell them the truth at all, and even wanted to take them away from the tribe, which made them feel cold. This was carrying their three on his back.
With their deeds exposed, they were already close to the one who walked away, and now they vanished with him. What would the clan think They'd assume they knew about it, perhaps even participated, which is why they retreated together. Afterward, would any females be willing to mate with them This would be a stain on their lives forever.
"Warmth, these things we are unaware of "
Lian said a few wooden words, after all, he had only gone out to find the missing female. He didn't expect that all this was part of Xiao's plan.
"We just wanted to find you, and it seems perhaps the Beast God has protected us, preventing us from making a greater mistake."
He lowered his eyes and spoke.
He had some doubts before, thinking that Xiao was too hasty, only because he knew about Xiao's warm intentions for a long time, so he didn't think deeply about it.
Now he understood why the other party was so eager to find warmth, and he was grateful that the Beast God had protected them from finding it. Otherwise, in order to cover up his mistakes, how might Xiao really have acted He knew Xiao's ambition well; becoming the leader of the tiger clan had always been his goal.
Lin at this moment held the body of Xiao Bing, icy cold as winter. He ignored the voices around him, tears flowing down his aged cheeks. He seemed to have lost all his vigor and spirit, ready to return to the embrace of the beast god at any moment.
At this time, the witch walked out. She glanced at Lin and then at Xiao who was already lifeless, letting out a sigh before speaking:
"The strong forced the females to warm him, and blamed Vi for it, causing her to be banished from the tribe. Now he has been punished by the Beast God, and that's the end of it."
Chief Lin, when dealing with his son's mistakes, cannot make fair and just decisions, even shielding Xiao. However, since Lin became chief, he has always been able to shoulder the responsibilities of the chief. This time...
Before the shaman could pronounce punishment for the chief, Lin interrupted him:
"I am no longer the leader of the Tiger Clan. I must pay the price for my mistakes."
After speaking, he didn't wait for the witch's response. He picked up the lifeless howl and left the tribe, entering the deep forest.
The clansmen watched the patriarch Lin's hunched back, their eyes filled with a mixture of pity and helplessness. But the mistake had been made, and Xiao had died so disgracefully, punished by the Beast God. For a male tigerman of the Tiger Clan, this was a shame.
"Leap, Edge, Think, you three go bring back Wei Xun. Things have been cleared up, he can't continue to wander outside."
Wu whispered softly.
"Yes!"
Yue, Ling, and Si knew this was a chance for Wu to atone for their past mistakes. They immediately agreed and returned to their cave to gather more supplies before leaving the tribe again.
Upon hearing Wu's order, Wen warmth burst into tears. She was terrified that she wouldn't be able to clear her beloved's name and that she would be controlled by Xiao for her entire life. Especially since Xiao had the support of the clan chief behind him, she had already prepared to run away with Wei.
Qian Tian helplessly patted her shoulder and softly comforted her.
"Warmth, don't cry! Everything will come to light, Wei Yi will be back, you need to take care of your health and wait for him to return."
"Mmm!"
Nuan, with tears welling up in her eyes, nodded softly and, supported by Qingshan, returned to Wu's residence.
And Wu went to look for Ripple. During the commotion of the Tiger Clan, Ripple had never appeared. But Wu knew there was definitely a hand from this deity in it.
"Ripple Mage, isn't the punishment for howling too harsh"
"Heavy But this isn't something that either of us can decide."
The ripples held a purple flower in her hand, this one was brought by Dú Xún to be used as dye.
""
"Don't tell me you haven't seen it, Lin is preparing to pass the chieftain position to Xiao. Given Xiao's jealous and vicious nature, do you think he can lead the Tiger Clan to prosperity"
"
This time, the witch fell silent.
In the Beast World continent, the tribe leader is the head of a tribe. It has always been a position based on merit, not inherited through lineage.
"I know, so I had already talked to Lin about this before. I don't agree with Xiao taking the chief position so hastily. But I didn't expect things would turn out like this before a decision was made, and then Xiao got into an accident."
"You don't disagree, which means you haven't completely refuted it. So Lin feels hopeful, and he wants to cover up Xiao's mistakes so that he has a chance to become the chief."n.Ripple also saw the expressions of the two people and simply said:“Father, Mother, it's not that your daughter is belittling herself. If it were you two, would you want your son to marry a woman fro...
