Chapter 186 Ruthless Rescue of Females
Chapter 186 Ruthless Rescue of Females
The half-beast crocodile orc burst from the cave, immediately grabbing the female and leaping down the mountain. A flying orc tried to catch him, but was whipped away by his tail, sending the crocodile orc and the female plummeting dozens of meters down the slope. He then rolled over, still carrying the female, and continued running downhill. Meanwhile, the wandering orcs below recklessly charged down to block the advancing orcs of the Bloodthirsty Tribe, resulting in a fierce and bloody battle. Linni watched from high above as the crocodile orc ran, then leaped into a stream below, disappearing from sight.
This is a reckless, mad rush to snatch females!
Linni asked worriedly, "Yao, that female, is she still alive?"
Yao said, "I'm still alive, but I don't know how long I'll live." While the crocodile beastman successfully broke through, the battle on the stone mountain continued, and two more females were rescued from one of the stone mountains where fighting was still taking place.
By this time, Bai and his group had split into three teams and run over to help.
Yao landed on the top of the rocky mountain with Linni, who had already driven away the wandering orcs, but still carried her on his back, watching the fighting. The battle lasted for more than half an hour before it ended. Most of the wandering orcs were dead, and those who retreated were all injured. The two females who had been kidnapped by the wandering orcs were eventually rescued with the help of Sheng and the others, but the one who was kidnapped at the beginning could not be found.
Undeterred, the beastmen of the Blood Tribe sent out over a hundred males to search for the captured female, while the remaining beastmen cleaned up the mess at the scene.
Yan, Ye and Bai, Xuan and Ling, Azhi and Dawen returned to Linni's side, while Chang led Luo, Wei, Huan, Xin, Ou and Xue in negotiations with the Hot-Blooded Alliance.
Ah-Zhi said to Lin-Ni, "Lin, were you scared?"
Linni was indeed a little frightened, and her expression was very unpleasant. However, she shook her head, looked everyone over, and seeing that everyone had bloodstains on them, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you injured?"
Ye wiped the blood off his hands: "No, it's the blood of other orcs."
Bai shook his head: "I'm very powerful, these stray beasts can't hurt me!"
Xuan and Ling were not covered in blood. They did not rush to the front. As soon as Lin Ni and Yao landed, they came over immediately.
Lin Ni then looked at A-Zhi and the others: "Are you all alright?"
Azhi laughed and said, "I got scratched by a scorpion beastman, but it's nothing, it'll be fine soon."
Linni looked at the wound on his thigh, which was more than ten centimeters long, but it had already scabbed over. Still, she asked with concern, "Aren't scorpion beastmen poisonous?"
Azhi shook his head: "I'm not poisoned."
Linni was relieved to see that everyone was alright, but then asked, "Isn't spring supposed to be the mating season for females? It's already midsummer, and females can't give birth, so why are the wandering orcs still coming to the tribe to snatch females?"
At this moment, Sheng and two middle-aged beastmen walked over to Lin Ni, answering her question: "They are all reckless stray beasts. They don't rob females to breed offspring, but just for a moment of pleasure. If they get one, they are happy for a while; if they don't, they die. They are all tired of living anyway."
Under Linni's astonished gaze, his expression was filled with helplessness and sorrow as he said, "For these wandering orcs, this attack can be considered a success, because they successfully kidnapped a female."
Lin Ni looked down at the stray animal carcasses being processed at the foot of the mountain. There must have been more than a hundred dead. More than a hundred people died, and they only took one female. What were they after?
Sheng also spoke up, "Actually, this situation is quite common in the Rainforest Swamp Kingdom, which is why we still sent you to that Azure Dragon Stele even though you have so many powerful people protecting you."
Linni looked heartbroken. She didn't know what to say. Nothing she'd heard about it before could compare to witnessing it firsthand. This violent, bloody, and cruel rainforest filled her with sorrow for the lives living there. What could possibly cause such misery for everyone? In comparison, the Tiger Beast Tribe seemed like paradise on the beastman continent!
Sheng introduced Lin Ni to the beastmen from the Hot-Blooded Tribe who had come with him: "This is Qi, the leader of the Hot-Blooded Tribe, and this is Da Yuan, the mountain chief of this mountain." Sheng then introduced Lin Ni and her group to Qi and Da Yuan, and told them about the Beast God's messenger going to the Azure Dragon Stele to awaken the guardian stele.
After Sheng finished explaining, Qi said expectantly, "Good, thank you for your hard work, Beast God's Messenger! It turns out it wasn't that the Beast God abandoned us, but that we weren't devout enough, which caused the Beast God to fall into a deep sleep!" He almost cried as he spoke, "Our Hot-Blooded Tribe is suffering! Our entire Rainforest Kingdom is suffering! Those cold-blooded beastmen are like madmen, always attacking our tribe! If the Eagle Beast Tribe could agree to take us in, all the beastmen in our tribe would want to move to the Ten Thousand Ren Cliff! This place is simply not suitable for good beastmen to live in! We're being driven crazy by them! If this continues, even we hot-blooded beastmen won't be able to hold on! In the end, even hot-blooded beastmen will be forced to become wandering beastmen..."
Da Yuan, who was standing next to him, patted the incessantly chattering Qi on the shoulder: "Alright, Qi! As long as the Beast God awakens again, he will surely protect us and drive away those evil beastmen!"
Qi nodded: "Yes, may the Beast God protect us! May the Beast God protect us!"
Qi, still excited, said to Lin Ni, "Beautiful and kind Beast God messenger, Lin, could you please stay at the Hot Blood Tribe for one night? Tonight, I'm organizing a grand bonfire party for the tribe to welcome you and to thank you for helping the Hot Blood Tribe protect our people today. I hope everyone in the tribe can come and listen to the story of the Beast God and the Guardian Stone, to give everyone faith and hope for life."
Since things had come to this point, Lin Ni couldn't refuse and could only nod in agreement.
