Chapter 250 Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for months...
"Although the third brother is cunning, he is meticulous in his actions! He would never lie about something like this, it's very likely true." The eldest brother, Hou Ji, stroked the golden monkey hair on his chin and said with certainty.
"Regarding matters concerning humans, let's first report to Her Majesty the Queen and see what she has to say."
With that, Hou Ji waved his hand to disperse the orc warriors and hurried off to see the Queen.
At this moment, throughout the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, beastmen with bull's heads, dog's heads, or beast ears were all busy with their own tasks, either going out to hunt or gathering wild fruits and vegetables in the wilderness.
However, most orcs involuntarily look towards the center when they go out.
If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be trembling with fear.
This is because... at the heart of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, there are two towering mountains.
Do not!
To be precise, that wasn't a mountain!
Instead, they were two enormous monsters!
A giant lizard, entirely black and covered with sharp barbs, standing tens of meters tall and hundreds of meters long;
Another mountain is a mad bull with two jet-black horns on its head. It is over 200 meters tall and 400 to 500 meters long. Its body is covered with gray-brown scales, making it look majestic and domineering.
These two monsters were actually eighth-tier ferocious beasts!
Once they go berserk, they can easily destroy the entire City of Beasts!
However, the orcs felt no fear or dread when they saw the two giant beasts.
Or rather, all the orcs completely ignored the two terrifying behemoths and looked reverently at the center of the behemoths.
Every orc who passed the mountain where the two giant beasts resided bowed deeply, their attitude one of utmost piety, gratitude, and a hint of worry...
Because there stands a majestic mountain peak hundreds of meters high.
The two giant beasts remained motionless, lying quietly on either side of the mountain peak.
Like two loyal dogs, they silently guarded the mountain.
This is the Holy Temple of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the residence of Her Majesty the Queen.
"Your Majesty, there is important news from the salt mines, and we wish to see you!"
Hou Ji and Zhu Gang moved swiftly and arrived directly at the cave entrance.
Both were second-generation orcs with powerful talents, far surpassing other mutants of the same level.
Sensing that the two were approaching the temple, the giant lizard, which had been lying there with its eyes closed as if dozing, slowly opened its huge beastly eyes. The mere aura it exuded instantly intimidated the two, preventing them from getting too close.
"Come in." A faint voice sounded in their ears.
The monitor lizard closed its eyes again, and the stone gate, more than ten meters high, slowly rose, revealing a dark cave.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two city lords bowed and nodded, then slowly walked into the dark cave.
However, it differs from the majestic and grand mansions of human cities.
Inside the temple where the Queen of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts resided, it was pitch black, and even had a sinister feel to it.
The two eighth-level city lords, who were originally able to see in the dark, could only vaguely make out that at the deepest part of this wide cave was a stone throne, upon which lay a blurry figure.
Specifically, however, it was completely unclear.
Because the distance from the cave entrance to the throne is several hundred meters, and there are layers of curtains blocking the way.
Even when the three city lords, including Hou Ji, arrived, they could only talk through layers of curtains.
"Your Majesty...are you alright?" City Lord Hou Ji bowed deeply, his face filled with concern.
"I am fine, there is no need to worry!" The ethereal voice rang out again.
“But Your Majesty, you haven’t eaten for months…” Pig Gang also spoke up.
Both of them had anxious and worried expressions in their eyes.
Ten years ago, the Queen moved into the temple and has never come out since.
The only way people could tell how well the queen was doing was by how she ate.
Five years ago, the Queen began eating less and less.
Until this year, it stopped eating altogether, and only regularly had people send some energy stones into the cave.
"Speak, what do you want with me?" The Queen's voice was completely calm and indifferent.
Seeing that the Queen remained silent, the two city lords exchanged a glance, could only manage a wry smile, and decided to let it go for the time being.
"My Queen!"
Hou Ji rolled his eyes and briefly reported everything that the Third City Lord Gou Dao had said: "The matter of the salt mine has been resolved. A human force destroyed Black Soil City and helped us. They said they wanted to trade with our Beast City."
It's estimated that those humans will arrive at Beast City in two days at most, and then...
"Do human forces want to make a deal with us?"
The Queen's voice rang out, as if she were deep in thought.
"Your Majesty! Big Brother!"
Seeing that Hou Ji and the Queen seemed to have softened their attitude towards the human, the Second City Lord, Zhu Gang, frowned and roared, "In my opinion, that human has a grudge against Black Soil City, which is why he attacked us. He may not be genuinely helping us! Don't forget how treacherous and cunning humans can be!"
"It would be best if we waited until the humans arrived, then struck first, killing them and robbing them!"
The thought of the harm that humans had inflicted on him and his companions filled Pig Gang with hatred.
I have a feeling... that the humans who came to the City of Beasts probably didn't have good intentions?
"Pig Gang, have you forgotten? We orcs never repay kindness with enmity!"
The Queen's voice seemed to have a hint of sternness and a warning, "Remember, not all humans are bad. Humans helped us in the creation of our City of Ten Thousand Beasts."
If the other party truly harbors ulterior motives, then my City of Ten Thousand Beasts will surely have the means to deal with them!
But if what Gou Dao said is true, then Dragon City has done a great favor for my Ten Thousand Beasts City.
"When friends arrive, our City of Beasts will naturally treat them with the utmost courtesy."
"Yes! The Queen is right!" Upon hearing this, Pig Gang trembled with fear, immediately kneeling down on the ground, his pig head hitting the ground, his buttocks raised high, his face full of shame.
"In that case, you may leave."
……
Dragon City, the inner city.
"Have you finished the statistics? Among all the warriors in Dragon City, who hasn't completed their first tattoo yet?" Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Yu asked Hong Lian.
"Brother, all the first-tier warriors have completed their first tattoo; among the second-tier warriors, 8 are not yet physically fit enough to get tattoos; among the third-tier warriors, 19 are not yet physically fit enough..." Honglian flipped through the notebook, reporting one by one.
After a night of fighting, most of the soldiers were physically exhausted.
So, the next day, Xiao Yu did as agreed and tattooed them with totem magic.
It has to be said, this totem magic is truly powerful.
Each warrior who got a tattoo experienced a roughly doubling of their strength.
Even ordinary enhanced individuals possess strength approaching that of mutants.
Some of them were already mutants, and with the power of their tattoos, they were already comparable to awakened beings.
As a result, the overall strength of the Longcheng city defense forces increased by one or two times.
Moreover... although this totem technique only creates a one-time, inanimate object, it can actually be used to tattoo various parts of the body, such as the arms, thighs, and abdomen...
However... because it was made using a special secret method with the blood of a ferocious beast, it contains the will of that beast.
Normally, most people can only get one or two tattoos because they will be corrupted by the will of the ferocious beast.
However, people with strong physical strength and mental fortitude may have more tattoos.
Therefore, in the future, Longcheng will not only train the body, but also the spirit.
