Chapter 137: Good and Bad Cannot Be Distinguished by Appearance or Type
Cang Xiao's white hair contrasted with the bright color of the flames. He soared into the air, and the vines supporting him covered them. With the blessing of his strength and the evil spirit of the mutant beast, the vines would not burn when encountering fire. If it were normal times, these vines would have burned.
Cang Xiao walked out of the firelight with the cubs. The firelight was reflected on the vines, and the vines behind him looked like spread wings. At this moment, he was like a phoenix reborn from the fire.
When everyone saw Cang Xiao, they excitedly said, "It's that mutant beast!"
As the other orcs put out the fire, they looked at Cang Xiao nervously, on guard against him. Cang Xiao was used to being feared by the orcs. He put the cub down safely and saw everyone's fear: "I have rescued the cub."
"Thank you...thank you." The female hugged the beast cubs and checked them one by one. Seeing that the beast cubs had fainted and there were no major wounds on their bodies, she quickly asked the beast husband to send the fainted beast cubs to the beast witch.
The female looked at Cang Xiao's figure, ripples appeared in her heart, and she was attracted by him.
Cang Xiao turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, the rescued white tiger cub grabbed him and said, "Big brother..."
One of the fathers quickly grabbed the white tiger cub and said, "Little cub, don't get close to him. He is a mutant beast, a bad beast..."
"Even if Big Brother is a mutant beast, so what? He saved me and my siblings." The white tiger cub shook off the male's hand and continued, "Big Brother is not a bad beast. He saved me and my siblings. He didn't hurt us and even risked his life to save us. He is a good beast."
The cub's father was stunned and looked at Cang Xiao in a daze. Was their prejudice too great?
But when they thought of their tribesmen who had been attacked and eaten by mutant beasts, they trembled all over.
The white tiger cub held Cang Xiao in his arms and said, "Big brother, no matter what others say, I believe you are a good beast. There are good beastmen among mutant beasts, just like there are bad beasts in every tribe. No matter which race, there are good beasts and bad beasts."
The cub turned around and looked at the male: "Father, we can't distinguish good from bad based on appearance or species. You taught me that."
The male was speechless. Even so, facing the unknown danger, they were still afraid and unwilling to accept it.
Seeing that the male didn't say anything, the cub turned around and looked at Cang Xiao: "Thank you, big brother."
Cang Xiao was stunned and looked down at the white tiger cub. He was moved. What the cub said was the same as what Susu said. The corners of his eyes turned red and fire was reflected in his eyes. He didn't dare to look back, for fear that he would cry with excitement because of the cub's recognition.
He looked away and warned, "Stay close to your father and mother, and don't go near the fire."
Cang Xiao left without looking back, and continued to rescue the trapped orcs from the White Tiger and Mermaid tribes in the form of a mutant beast. However, his form scared many orcs, and the orcs who were putting out the fire along the way avoided him when they saw him.
But when everyone saw that he controlled the vines to save his people and did not harm them, and even suffered burns on his body, they became less hostile towards him.
Even some kind-hearted orcs began to put aside their prejudices and join Cang Xiao in rescuing their fellow tribesmen.
The fire affected two tribes, and there were screams and wails everywhere.
Along the way, Wuji and A Yao were also rescuing trapped orcs. Wuji's snake skin was burned and cracked because he rushed into the fire to rescue the orcs.
A-Yao caressed his wound tenderly. They hadn't given up on rescuing the orcs. A-Yao saw Cang Xiao and pulled Wuji aside: "Isn't that Sister Bai's new orc husband?"
Wuji turned around and saw Cangxiao using vines to save people. Ayao pointed at him and said, "Wuji, maybe he can save us."
Wuji understood what Ayao meant, rushed to Cangxiao's side, and called out, "Cangxiao."
Cang Xiao used vines to place the orcs he had just rescued. He turned around when he heard Wuji's voice. Wuji said seriously, "We need your help. Many orcs are trapped in the Mermaid Tribe's warehouse while trying to save the stored grain. The White Tiger King can't rescue them all. We need your help."
The warehouse was built when the tribe was established. It was used to store grain for the two tribes. Every few days, each orc household would put their own homemade grain into it in case of emergency.
Warehouse is one of the most important things for every tribe.
"Take me there." After knowing this, Cang Xiao handed this place over to Wuji and other orcs, and A Yao took Cang Xiao to the mermaid tribe. When the two tribes were first established, they were very close to each other and could be reached by just climbing over the wall.
When he arrived outside the warehouse, Cang Xiao found that Bai Mang and many white tigers and mermaid orcs were trapped in the warehouse. They were injured while trying to rescue food, and some of the orcs were choked to death by the smoke.
Bai Mang was trapped by a wooden stick, and his two front paws were injured. Bai Mang had one of his hands broken by a mutant beast. Later, Su Su gave him some medicine, and the broken arm grew back.
This broken arm has just recovered, and if it continues like this it will be ruined again.
He glanced and saw Bai Po walking towards him with his head down. Bai Po's body was covered with burns from saving the orcs. Seeing Cang Xiao coming, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Cang Xiao, do you have any way to save everyone?"
Although he was the White Tiger King, he still seemed insignificant in front of the fire. Moreover, he had rescued many orcs and saved food before, and was exhausted.
"Yeah." Cang Xiao nodded, and then used the special power of the wood element to control the vines to rescue the trapped Bai Mang and other orcs.
After that, no one dared to stop and rushed to find water to put out the fire.
After being rescued, Bai Mang was shocked to see Cang Xiao's transformed beast form. However, when he saw Cang Xiao was injured, he said, "Stinky wolf, you are injured and you need to get treatment immediately."
The animal hide on Cang Xiao's body was burnt, and his arms and legs were scalded by the fire. Some of the flesh had turned white. He had tied his white hair with vines, but some of it was still burned off. The ends of his hair were yellow and sticky, and there was a burnt smell when you got closer.
Cang Xiao glanced at the wound calmly and shook his head, saying, "It's okay, as long as you're all okay. There are still orcs trapped, and I need to rescue them. If they die, their relatives will be sad."
Cang Xiao had experienced the separation of life and death with his orc relatives, and didn't want other orcs to suffer the same fate as him, so he turned around and left quickly.
Bai Mang was a little surprised: "This guy is a mutant beast, but he can control his behavior and really won't hurt us. Not only that, he even saved us."
He stared at the resolute figure, his mind wandering. Then he looked at Bai Po, who was exhausted and had injured his leg saving everyone. "Brother, was I too critical of this guy before?"
Bai Po stood up and limped over, sighing, "This guy turned into a mutant beast without his will. He's quite pitiful. I was worried that he would harm the tribe, but now it seems that worry was unnecessary."
Bai Po looked at Cang Xiao's back, a smile appeared in his eyes, and his expression became much gentler. This look was the same as when he looked at Mei Wuzhi and Lan You. At this moment, he had completely accepted Cang Xiao.
Bai Po turned around and said, "Amang, take the injured tribesmen to the beast witch for treatment."
Bai Mang pulled him and asked, "Brother, where are you going when you're injured?"
Bai Po turned back, his eyes determined: "This disaster is not over yet. As the White Tiger King, I should stand with everyone. I must protect the tribe. Only in this way can I protect Susu and bring her peace."
Bai Po endured the pain and rushed towards Mei Wuzhi. The tribesmen had been rescued, and the next step was to put out the fire. The stinky fox and the stinky wolf were working hard to save the tribe, and he couldn't fall behind!
Bai Mang looked at his injured leg. He was in so much pain that he could no longer walk and could only rely on the support of his tribesmen. He could not fight alongside his brother. He angrily beat his leg, thinking he was really useless.
At this time, a male looked at Bai Mang and suggested, "A Mang, Cang Xiao is a mutant beast. If he continues to stay, it may bring disaster to the tribe. Now he is injured and very weak. For the safety of the tribe, why not take this opportunity to kill him?"
