Chapter 288: Chapter 287, Deceitful Xiu Yan_1 After a few busy days, the rush to move into the Watson Tribe finally began to dwindle bit by bit. "Father, Xiu Yan and his crew mentioned yesterday that the Beast Wave has finally passed. Should we go hunting now?" Ge Tai excitedly questioned. Tu Yaoyao, standing behind Ge Tai, also eagerly looked at Ge Xing. Ge Xing patted the table and laughed, "You young ones, if you want to go out, just say so. Why have Ge Tai probe my intentions? All of you, come in!" As soon as Ge Xing finished, the entrance instantly flooded with orcs, all of them sheepishly grinning. Ge Xing shot them a stern look, "You can go, but you need to split into three groups and take turns going hunting. The two groups staying in the tribe have other tasks. Don’t think just because the houses are built there’s nothing much to do." Upon hearing they could go hunting, the orcs couldn’t care less about taking turns. As long as they could go, they were content. Forming three groups, each with Ge Tai, Xiu Yan, and Lei Er as captains, they started to negotiate orders. Xiu Yan was laid-back. During the Beast Wave, while the others couldn’t leave, he was out hunting every day, so he wasn’t particularly eager to go out. He nonchalantly said, "Our team can go anytime. If we don’t go today, I just happen to have plans to accompany Ji Nuan for herb collection." Despite his cool demeanor, the tribal orcs knew him all too well. Astoundingly, they could sense a touch of smugness in him. In line with their secret resolve to not let him have his way, Ge Tai and Lei Er exchanged looks, "We both decide to stay. Xiu Yan, your team should go." Planning to spend some alone time with Ji Nuan out in the Beast World? No way we’re allowing that! You think single orcs are easy to bully? Flaunting your relationship is unethical and deserves punishment. Xiu Yan had no choice but to lead his orc subordinates, looking disgruntled, to the tribe’s entrance. Just as he was about to leave the gate, Xiu Yan suddenly turned around, a sly grin spreading across his face. He looked at the orcs who’d been reveling in his situation, "Oh, I just remembered, Nuannuan should be out with a few of the young females catching some Gaga Beast Cubs!" Then he transformed into his beast form and took off at a gallop. The orcs of Xiu Yan’s team cast sympathetic glances at the two groups who were just laughing at their misfortune. It’s not your fault, it’s just that Xiu Yan is far too cunning! One after another they howled and bolted out of the tribe, following Xiu Yan. Ge Tai and Lei Er looked at each other in confusion, "So we were tricked by that sly fox Xiu Yan again?" Lei Er gritted his teeth in frustration, "And we willingly gave him the first hunting expedition." Both of them thought to themselves; "Xiu Yan is utterly shameless." The orcs behind them hung their heads and looked at each other, resigning themselves to return to the tribe. Having to deal with such a seemingly detached but inherently crafty comrade made their lives hard, but they kept their complaints to themselves. With a petty quirk of their mouths, they went off to work! The Beast Wave leaving behind a ravaged Eneru Forest, scattered with broken branches and fallen leaves. Every now and then, some prey would venture out of the woods, only to be swiftly caught by the ravenous orcs. Xiu Yan led the orcs to track down the stragglers of the Beast Wave, hunting several of the slower beasts. They had a fair amount of success.
