Chapter 83: The Night is Too Beautiful, Shouldn’t We Do Something?

Watching the two people leave the tribe, Qian Shi stepped out from the shadows with a look of smug satisfaction on his face.

Since Yin Lang’s death, he had become the only non-native orc in the Tiger Tribe, and had faced much exclusion.

He had learned a lot about the Wolf Tribe’s situation from Yin Lang.

With Fei Li and Luo Sang gone, the tribe was left defenseless.

For him, this was a perfect opportunity to invade.

If he succeeded in invading the Wolf Tribe on his own, he would become a hero of the Tiger Tribe and would no longer be looked down upon. With this thought in mind, he swaggered towards the Wolf Tribe’s territory.

As he reached the edge of the tribe, a white light repelled him, causing him to stumble and fall.

“What is this?”

He got up and tried again, only to be repelled once more.

Standing in front of the barrier, he reached out to touch it and was pushed back again.

After several failed attempts, he finally gave up on the idea of invading the Wolf Tribe.

Feeling frustrated, he glanced at the Wolf Tribe’s territory and then thought of Luo Sang and Fei Li, quickly heading back to the Tiger Tribe.

Under the guidance of the Spirit Spring, Luo Sang and Fei Li traveled all day.

Before nightfall, they found a cave and decided to spend the night there.

Fei Li made a bed of dry grass inside the cave and built a fire, waiting for Luo Sang to return.

Not long after, Luo Sang came back with a wild rabbit.

“I went to get the wild rabbit. You wait here.”

As soon as he took a step, Luo Sang turned back and threw him a wild fruit. “This is a wild fruit I picked in the mountains. See if it’s edible.” Fei Li took the fist-sized fruit and examined it closely.

“This looks like a wild apple.”

After saying that, he took a bite of the crisp, sweet apple.

Seeing him enjoy the apple, Luo Sang left the cave to process the wild rabbit.

After preparing the rabbit, Luo Sang brought it back to Fei Li to roast.

The two sat around the fire, each eating an apple while waiting for the rabbit to cook.

After a while, the smell of roasting rabbit filled the air, and Fei Li tore off a hind leg and handed it to Luo Sang.

They happily ate the roasted rabbit meat.

After dinner, the two sat side by side at the cave entrance, gazing at the star-filled sky.

Early summer skies are beautiful. Fei Li pointed to the ^[1]“Big Dipper” is a group of seven bright stars that form part of the constellation Ursa Major, resembling a ladle or dipper shape.

Legend has it that every few years, the stars in the Big Dipper align in a row. This is the fabled Seven Stars Alignment Day, when many strange phenomena occur.”

Luo Sang remained silent, merely turning his head to watch him.

“It looks like a shooting star just passed by. Make a wish.”

Fei Li clenched his fists and closed his eyes tightly, sincerely making a wish.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Luo Sang was still staring at him in the same position.

“What are you looking at me for? Aren’t you curious about what I wished for?”

Luo Sang gently rubbed the top of his head and held him close. “Did you wish to stay by my side forever?”

“You’re really self-absorbed. That’s not it.”

After spending so much time with Fei Li, Luo Sang had grown accustomed to the occasional incomprehensible words that slipped from his mouth.

“Then maybe you wished to stay by my side in the next life.”

Fei Li turned to look at Luo Sang with a smiling gaze, focusing on his handsome face illuminated by the firelight in the cave.

Suddenly, Luo Sang rolled over and pinned Fei Li beneath him. “Shouldn’t we do something?”

“Aren’t you tired?”

After a whole day of traveling, Luo Sang was still thinking about those things?

Luo Sang leaned closer and said in a magnetic voice, “I’m never tired of being with you.”

With those words, Luo Sang demonstrated to Fei Li what it meant to never be tired.

Meanwhile, not far from the cave, Qian Shi, along with Hu Yin and some orcs from the Tiger Tribe, wandered back and forth in the forest.

They had been spinning in circles all afternoon, unable to find their way out.

Hu Yin appeared frustrated and grabbed Qian Shi by the arm. “You said we would catch up to Luo Sang and the others soon. Why are we still here? Tell me, what’s going on?”

Qian Shi looked slightly innocent. Their group had clearly entered the forest following Luo Sang and Fei Li.

Who would have thought they’d lose track of them once they reached this area? Not only had they lost them, but they were also now trapped.

“I-I don’t know either. This is my first time here.”

Hu Yin pushed Qian Shi aside and refused to waste any more effort standing around.

The tiger tribe orcs examined their surroundings and approached Hu Yin. “Lord Hu Yin, it’s too dark in the forest. How about we rest here for the night and set off again at dawn?”

“Alright!”

The tiger tribe members endured hunger and spent the night in the mosquito-infested forest.

The next morning, with the first light of dawn, Hu Yin impatiently woke everyone up.

“Wake up, everyone, it’s time to get up.”

After being bitten by mosquitoes all night, Hu Yin could no longer tolerate it.

The orcs opened their eyes and stood up one by one.

“It’s already bright. Let’s continue our journey and find Luo Sang and Fei Li as soon as possible.”

The thought of Fei Li being with Luo Sang again made Hu Yin grit his teeth in hatred.

Three years ago, if Fei Li hadn’t taken Luo Sang away from the tiger tribe, Luo Sang would have been his partner by now.

He hadn’t expected Luo Sang to break the tiger tribe’s ancient bloodline secret and reunite with Fei Li.

He snorted coldly, realizing he had underestimated Fei Li and Luo Sang.

As daylight arrived, the footprints in the forest became visible.

They followed the tracks left in the forest towards Luo Sang and Fei Li.

Before long, they came upon a cave, and Hu Yin caught the familiar scent of Luo Sang.

“Stop.”

The orcs halted their steps.

“Luo Sang and the others are in the cave. Let’s not disturb them just yet.”

Qian Shi glanced at the cave. “What should we do then?”

Hu Yin thought for a moment and a calculating smile appeared on his face.

Fei Li woke up, stretched lazily, and said, “It’s finally dawn. We can continue our journey.”

He then looked at the still-sleeping Luo Sang and decided to play around.

Picking up a piece of dry grass from the ground, he poked it into Luo Sang’s ears and nose.

Luo Sang furrowed his brow and opened his eyes in annoyance.

Seeing Fei Li’s smile, Luo Sang’s irritation quickly faded away.

Realizing that Fei Li was intentionally causing trouble, Luo Sang wrapped his arms around his waist. “It seems I wasn’t vigorous enough last night, you’re not satisfied.”

“No, no,” Fei Li quickly pleaded.

Noticing the change in Luo Sang’s demeanor, Fei Li begged for mercy.

After a brief scuffle, they left the cave and planned to continue their journey.

As they left the cave, Fei Li took cheerful steps.

Just as he was about to step onto a pile of dry grass, Luo Sang pulled him back. “Be careful.”

Startled by Luo Sang, Fei Li pressed closely against him.

He looked around but saw no signs of anything unusual.

“Why did you scare me? If you want to hold me, just say so. Why play this jump-scare game?” He patted Luo Sang’s chest and acted coquettishly.

He wondered if Luo Sang was becoming increasingly childish after spending so much time together.

Luo Sang’s face was serious. “No, someone has been here.”

“Where?” Seeing that Luo Sang wasn’t joking, Fei Li began to take it seriously.

Without answering, Luo Sang stared at a pile of dry grass.

Last night, Fei Li had complained about the dry grass being too sparse, if it had been here, Fei Li would have seen it.

According to the explanation, the dry grass had been deliberately placed there.

Luo Sang left Fei Li in place and cautiously approached the grass.

When he moved the grass aside, a hidden trap was revealed underneath.

“What is this…” Fei Li shivered as he looked at the sharpened stakes in the trap.

If he had stepped into the trap earlier, he might have been full of holes by now.

He turned to Luo Sang. “Why is there suddenly a trap here?”

It certainly hadn’t been there when they passed by last night.

“It seems someone has indeed been around here. We need to be even more cautious.”

Fei Li nodded and obediently followed behind Luo Sang.

In the distance, the tiger tribe members, observing that Luo Sang and Fei Li had avoided the trap and continued forward. Hu Yi’s face darkened again.

“Damn it, Luo Sang discovered it.”

“Lord, what should we do now?” asked the tiger tribe orcs.

“It’s fine. As long as we find them, we will find another chance. Let’s hurry and catch up.”

The group continued to follow Luo Sang and Fei Li.

Luo Sang’s expression was serious as he periodically scanned the surroundings.

All the way, Luo Sang protected Fei Li well, guiding him with each step.

After walking for a long time without seeing any sign of other people, Fei Li began to relax.

“I don’t see anyone around, that trap must have been left by orcs hunting animals.”

Luo Sang shook his head. “No, orcs don’t need traps for hunting. They always use direct attacks.”

“Then it must be used by humans for hunting. Many humans can’t compete with animals directly, so they rely on traps. Am I right?” Luo Sang glanced at him, not intending to continue the argument, still maintaining a cautious demeanor.

They continued forward, with Luo Sang eager to get out of the forest as soon as possible, not stopping for a moment.

After being on edge all morning, Fei Li was exhausted and reluctant to keep going.

“I’m tired. Can we rest here for a bit?” he pouted again.

Luo Sang sighed in resignation and agreed.

Fei Li found a rock and began to clear some grass to sit down.

“Wait!”

Hearing Luo Sang’s voice, he froze in place, still half-crouched. “What’s wrong now?”

Since leaving the cave, Fei Li had noticed Luo Sang becoming increasingly nervous.

He looked around, apart from grass and trees, there was no sign of anyone.

He chuckled at Luo Sang. “Why are you so jumpy? You’re going to make me paranoid too.”

As he tried to sit down again, Luo Sang’s expression grew even more serious, his eyes fixed on something behind Fei Li. He finally realized that something was wrong. Luo Sang wouldn’t act this way without reason.

Was there someone behind him?

With a sense of unease, he slowly turned his head.
