Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 277 Slapping the Selfish Orc in the Face 6

The astonishment on Leng Yuexing's face was too obvious, and her attacking figure paused for a moment.

"You know my mother?" Xuan asked urgently. "Do you know where he is?"

While dodging Xuan's attacks, Leng Yuexing frantically tried to think of the right words, and finally decided to tell Xuan what he knew.

Rather than letting Xuan learn it from the tribal chief, it's better for him to tell Xuan himself.

“Your mother loves you very much…” Leng Yuexing said softly, her expression somewhat sad.

“Yes, Amu raised me all by himself; he never sought out any other male orcs,” Xuan replied gently.

In this world, very few female orcs would stop seeking male orcs for the sake of having children.

If a male orc dies, he will usually hand his child over to the tribe and then find another male, rather than choosing to raise the child alone.

“He was captured by the leader,” Leng Yuexing continued.

"I know." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xuan's eyes as he thought of the leader.

Leng Yuexing bit her lip, then leaned close to Xuan from behind and whispered in his ear, "After he was captured, he committed suicide in the cave."

Xuan stopped abruptly, turning back to look at Leng Yuexing in disbelief. "What did you say?"

Leng Yuexing lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, not wanting to repeat what she had just said.

In that instant, Xuan's mind went blank.

He suddenly realized that the wind had been acting strangely lately, and perhaps he had known about it all along.

Seeing that Xuan had stopped attacking Leng Yuexing, the tribal chief roared angrily, "Xuan, what are you doing!"

However, to everyone's surprise, just as the tribal chief finished speaking, Xuan suddenly turned around and moved with lightning speed, instantly rushing to the tribal chief's side like a ghost.

Before anyone could react, Xuan had already stretched out a powerful, iron-like hand and tightly gripped the tribal chief's thick neck.

At this moment, Xuan's originally handsome face was now tightly furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with a chillingly deep and malevolent aura, as if he wanted to completely devour the person in front of him.

His eyes were fixed on the tribal chief, and he roared, "Speak! Where is my mother?"

Each word exploded in the air like a thunderclap, carrying endless pressure and killing intent, sending chills down one's spine.

The tribal chief had never seen Xuan look so terrifying. He was so frightened that he turned pale, couldn't speak, and his teeth were chattering.

"Xuan, how dare you! Release the leader at once!" Several male beastmen on the high platform roared from the side.

Feng remained silent, his expression conflicted, as if he were being torn apart.

The beastmen below the platform had never seen anything like it before, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"Feng! You and Xuan are the closest, you have to stop him! Otherwise, we'll all attack him together!" Feng's third brother roared.

Upon hearing this, Feng shouted, "Xuan!"

Xuan held the tribal chief's hand firmly, then turned to Feng, "Feng, did you know that my mother committed suicide after he captured her?"

Upon hearing this, Feng's face turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled for a long time before he finally replied in a low voice, "I know."

Xuan gave a sarcastic smile, then turned to look at the tribal chief with the gaze of someone staring at a dead man, sending a chill down the chief's spine.

"Why did you capture my mother? Let me think... Is it because you're afraid I'll take your chieftainship?" A devilish whisper echoed in the tribal chief's ears.

"I...I'm sorry...I shouldn't have captured him, please spare me," the tribal chief said, trembling.

Xuan smiled coldly upon hearing this, his eyes hardening. Then, he exerted force on his hand, and with a cracking sound, the tribal chief closed his eyes completely.

Xuan released his grip, and the tribal chief's body fell onto the high platform.

The scene was completely silent as everyone stared in shock at Xuan on the high platform.

"Father!" roared several male orcs on the platform. They ran to the body of their tribal chief and checked his breath, only to find that he was indeed no longer breathing.

"We'll kill you!" After confirming that the tribal chief was completely dead, they charged towards Xuan.

Xuan was in a state of extreme anger and grief. When he saw them attacking him, he immediately engaged them in combat without saying a word.

Seeing this, Leng Yuexing immediately joined the battle, and he and Xuan stood back to back to defend against their attacks.

Feng watched silently from the side. Seeing all his brothers attacking Xuan, he closed his eyes and roared, "Stop it, all of you!"

His brothers ignored him and continued their attack on Xuan.

He continued to roar, "The annual sacrificial ceremony is a time to challenge the tribal chief, and now Xuan is the new tribal chief of the Rock Tribe!"

As soon as Feng finished speaking, his brothers stopped instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

“Feng! That’s our father! Do you know what you’re saying?” Feng’s third brother said.

“I know, but this is also the rule of our tribe: challenging the tribal chief is a matter of life and death,” Feng replied loudly.

Everyone was shocked by Xuan's actions, but he was not shocked at all.

As Xuan's childhood friend, he knew all too well what would happen if Xuan found out the truth.

He had tried to persuade his father to release Xuan's mother, but he wouldn't listen, simply because he didn't want to lose his position as leader.

He wanted to save Xuan's mother, but he didn't expect her to be so resolute, committing suicide directly in the cave.

He was too ashamed to face Xuan, and had no way to tell him the truth.

He had already wronged Xuan, and this time he couldn't just stand by and watch his brothers hurt him, even though he knew Xuan might not need his help.

However, from now on, the two of them will probably never be able to be friends again.

As soon as Feng finished speaking, the orcs in the tribal square stirred up instantly. They snapped out of their shock at the death of their tribal chief and realized that there was indeed such a rule in the tribe.

However, over the years, few orcs have challenged the tribal chiefs, and they have gradually forgotten this rule.

Now that the tribal chief is dead, Xuan should be the new tribal chief.

The orcs, having figured it out, cheered loudly, "Chief Xuan! Chief Xuan!"

Hearing the cheers from the crowd in the square, Xuan's expression remained calm, even somewhat cold.

He was originally there to accept Leng Yuexing's challenge on behalf of the tribal chief, and he had already lost after he gave up attacking Leng Yuexing.

The position of tribal chief belongs to Leng Yuexing.

He walked to the very front of the platform, raised his hands, and gestured for everyone to stop shouting.

He declared loudly, "I originally accepted Leng Yuexing's challenge in place of the former tribal chief. Now I concede defeat, and Leng Yuexing is the new tribal chief!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the orcs in the tribal square looked at each other, completely bewildered by the current situation.

Thor shouted excitedly, "Leader Leng Yuexing! Leader Leng Yuexing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the female orcs screamed at the top of their lungs, "Leader Leng Yuexing! Leader Leng Yuexing!"
