"Grandpa Tiger hasn't answered me yet, why did you come to this island in the first place? Why didn't Grandpa Tiger go back?" Long Ao asked his question again.
Hu Xiao sighed, "It's a long story, but it's not that I don't want to go back. I've tried many methods and I simply can't leave this island."
"Why?" Long Ao was puzzled.
"This is the curse placed on me by the previous leader of the mermaid tribe. He used his own life to place a curse, making the island surrounded by fog and danger. No orc on the island can leave."
"He cursed you?" Long Ao was even more puzzled.
"Yes, I originally planned to help him, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this."
So Hu Xiao told Long Ao what happened that year.
then.
Langlu colluded with the wandering orcs and drugged Huxiao and the others halfway through their march.
Hu Xiao has been the clan leader for so many years and has always boasted that he has a good vision.
Unexpectedly, Lang Ru, whom he valued, would no longer be willing to work only under him. Lang Ru wanted to be the leader of the clan, so that he could possess more of the clan's supplies.
Langlu chose to strike just after they had replaced their supplies.
He put a poison in the dinner that day, which knocked out Hu Xiao and his party.
Just when Langru was about to kill Huxiao, Huxiao, who had fainted, suddenly opened his eyes. Langru felt guilty, fearing that Huxiao would report his condition to the beast god after he died, so he joined the wandering orcs.
Throw Huxiao and all the tribesmen into the sea.
It is said that orcs will remember to kill their own beasts after they die.
But if they were drowned, they wouldn't be to blame, the wolf thought ruthlessly.
Huxiao woke up one day later.
When I woke up, there was a circle of mermaids surrounding me.
It turned out that when they sank to the bottom of the sea, they happened to encounter the mermaids from Pearl Island coming to the shore to exchange supplies. Seeing these orcs who couldn't swim struggling under the water, the mermaids helped them by the way.
"After being rescued, why didn't you come back?" Long Ao asked.
In that case, it should be easy to imagine that Langlu would deal with the orcs of the Hu family after returning to the tribe.
So Huxiao should go back immediately.
"I originally planned to go back. However, two clan members have been unconscious. Yu Song, the leader of the mermaid clan, said that their souls were sucked away by the sea god. They need to pray to the sea god to release their souls before they can be saved.
So we waited another night."
"Are you waiting for something to happen tonight?"
"Nothing happened at night, but something happened the next day." Hu Xiao's face was filled with regret.
“The next morning, the tide came in very high.
The place where we originally slept was flooded.
After I woke up, several clan members had been washed away, so I had to look for them everywhere.
I know that after Langlu returns to the tribe, it will bring some danger to the Hu family, but I also know that Zhenzhen can definitely handle it, and Langlu is definitely no match for her.
But these tribesmen who followed me out cannot do that. After I brought them out, I have to take them back. There are still their cubs and females waiting for them in the tribe."
"Then have you found them?" Long Ao asked.
When they first arrived on the island, except for Hu Xiao, the rest seemed to be from the mermaid tribe, so Long Ao suspected that Hu Xiao had not rescued any of his tribe members.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xiao said: "I found them. I found them."
"And not only did I save them, I also helped all the other orcs who were washed into the sea by the tide." Hu Xiao said.
"Since you were rescued, why didn't you go back?" Long Ao asked again.'
As a former member of the Hu family, Long Ao still has fresh memories of the brutal oppression of the Hu family.
He felt that even if Hu Ling'er was here, he would definitely want to know the answer to this question.
"After I gathered all my clansmen together, I wanted to go to the mermaid clan leader to say goodbye, but suddenly I saw a group of orcs trying to steal the mermaid clan's things. The mermaid clan had no fighting power, and seven or eight orcs were killed.
Kill. The leader of the mermaid tribe was also injured. He begged me to send him back to Pearl Island before he died." Hu Xiao said.
"So, you came to the island?" Long Ao said in a bad tone.
"Yes, I sent him back. After all, he saved me and my people. Without them, we would have died long ago." Hu Xiao explained.
"Since you are here to help them, why does the leader of the mermaid tribe curse you?" Long Ao temporarily put aside the problem of Hu Xiao coming to the island.
When encountering an emergency, no matter who you are, you have to make a choice. The original choice may not necessarily be the most correct, but at the time, it should be what you feel is the best.
"This is another story." Hu Xiao said to Long Ao with a smile.
"You are a guy who always presses me step by step. If it weren't for the fact that you are a dragon, I would even think that you are my grandson."
"I'm not!" Long Ao denied.
For some reason, he was willing to admit that he was Mrs. Hu's grandson, but he was unwilling to admit that he was Hu Xiao's grandson.
If you want to admit it, you must at least get forgiveness from Grandma Tiger, Long Ao thought.
"Now let's go out to eat first." Hu Xiao said, "I just heard someone calling us outside."
"Okay!" Long Ao rubbed his belly and said.
They had been floating in the mist for so long and hadn't eaten anything. They were really hungry.
Outside, there is a very large stone platform, and in the middle of the stone platform is a huge monster.
The monster has a big head and many tentacles on its naked body.
Long Ao looked over and saw that the monster's tentacles were still moving.
"You're going to eat this?" Long Ao asked in disgust.
"Yeah, you're not used to it, aren't you?" Hu Xiao asked with a smile, "We were not used to it at first, but after all, this is the territory of the mermaid tribe, and there is nothing else to eat on the island. This eight-clawed monster fish is
I prefer food, it tastes very good.”
"But it's still alive." After getting closer, Long Ao became even more disgusted.
A female has already stepped forward and cut off the tentacles of the strange fish piece by piece with a knife.
They put these tentacles in stone trays and served them to the new guests one by one.
Soon, Long Ao had such a plate in his hand.
Long Ao looked at the tentacles that were still twisting on the plate and felt his scalp numb.
But Hu Xiao smiled at him, grabbed the tentacles on his plate, raised his head, and ate it.
"Young man, would you like to try it? It tastes very good."
Long Ao felt disgusted when he looked at the tentacles, but when he saw Hu Xiao's somewhat provocative eyes, he was heartbroken, grabbed the tentacles on the plate, closed his eyes, and swallowed it.
