"You little glutton," Su Tang said helplessly.

For the five big eaters, dried fruit and meat were simply not enough to fill them up.

"Wait a minute, you'll have plenty to eat in no time."

After ruffling Wu Bao's head, Su Tang got up and went to call the insectoid beastmen outside.

“We’re all hungry. Do you have any food? Bring us more food. We won’t have the strength to take care of the parasite if we’re not full.”

Following their leader's orders, the Zerg orcs have become much more accommodating to Su Tang, granting her every request as long as it relates to the parasite.

Upon hearing this, the Zerg orcs quickly brought food.

Fruits and meat wrapped in large leaves, as well as leaves and roots of various plants.

A wide variety of things.

These are all foods from the Zerg orc diet.

Su Tang accepted it without hesitation, and said to the female stone moth in the corner:

"You guys come and eat too." You need to be full to have the energy to run.

Free food is free, so why not take it?

The female stone moths were starving; the insectoid orcs hadn't fed them for a long time because of their battle with the insectoid orcs.

"Thank you."

The females thanked them gratefully, carefully took the fruit, and went to a corner to eat it.

Su Tang also took a little as a token gesture.

Wu Bao sniffed the fruit in her hand, looking disgusted, and showed no intention of opening his mouth.

Su Tang poked Wu Bao's forehead, then turned her back to the female stone moth and took out some fruit from the farm for Wu Bao.

In the darkness, the female stone moth could not see her private actions.

"Slippery!"

The five treasures smelled the sweet aroma, affectionately licked their mother's cheek, and happily began to eat.

A few hours later, Shi Ying and the others returned.

It was probably night outside, and the Zerg orcs told them to come back and rest.

Upon seeing the cubs, Quartz and the other females had mixed feelings, and their eyes were all red.

Su Tang wasn't good at comforting people; she just told them to eat together.

Quartz gnawed on the fruit, chewing each bite with great force, as if he were biting an insectoid orc into pieces.

After filling her stomach and calming down, Shi Ying sincerely thanked Su Tang.

"A-Tang, thank you for letting us see the cubs again."

She thought she would never see the cubs again in her life.

Even in her final moments, she was happy to be able to spend time with her cubs.

"If we can get out, we will definitely do our best to repay your kindness."

Su Tang smiled; those were exactly the words she wanted to hear.

"No need to thank me, we have the same goal, which is to leave this place."

Although Su Tang hoped to abduct these females, she did not resort to moral blackmail.

She hoped that the other party would go back with her willingly, not out of gratitude. They lived for themselves, not for her.

"But how can we leave now?" Shi Ying asked worriedly.

Although they were able to see the cubs, they were constantly guarded by insectoid orcs.

The other females also spoke up with concern, "The Zerg orc's lair is very complex, with many passages. Without a Zerg orc to lead the way, we simply won't be able to get out."

"Yes, even if we get out, our numbers will be too conspicuous, and we'll be caught and brought back."

Su Tang raised an eyebrow, her face calm. "It's alright. I'll find a way to deal with the Zerg orcs. You just need to try your best to find a way out."

Quartz and the females nodded in agreement. "Okay, we will try our best to find a way out."

Despite the slim chances, they still chose to believe in Atang.

"Oh, right." Su Tang remembered something else, "From now on, when you eat fruit, don't drink the water here. After you leave tomorrow, remember to tell the other captured orcs about this as well."

Quartz agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll talk to them tomorrow."

Since I can't figure it out anyway, I'll just do as Atang says.

...

"Your Majesty! We've found out. This tribe has two major orc groups: a locust orc and a bee orc. The tribe's leader is the bee orc."

In the forest, Niu Li told Hu Shen the information he had just gathered.

Not far ahead of them was a huge, protruding beehive.

Only one-third of the hive is above ground, as tall as a small mountain, while the other two-thirds are underground.

This demonstrates the sheer scale of the operation.

Of course, Niu Li obtained all this information by interrogating the bee-clan beastmen he had captured.

"Atang and the cubs are locked up here. There are also many female cubs captured inside. The bee-fox beastmen parasitize their eggs on them. As soon as the bee-fox cubs are born, they will die."

Hearing Niu Li's words, Hu Shen's brows furrowed even more.

So, Atang's condition is very dangerous.

"How many Zerg orcs are there in total?" Hu Shen asked in a cold voice.

“There are over a thousand adult Zerg orcs alone,” Niu Li replied, somewhat troubled.

There were fewer than a hundred orcs with them this time, so you can imagine how difficult it would be to rescue Ah Tang and the cub safely.

Hu Shen's face was grim as he quickly racked his brains for a solution.

"Your Majesty, why don't we break in tonight?" Niu Li suggested.

Every second of delay increases the danger to Atang.

If it's too late, Atang and the cubs will likely be parasitized by the Zerg cubs.

"No." Hu Shen rejected the method without hesitation. "That would put A Tang and the cub in danger even faster."

"So what do we do now?"

"Is the bee-clan orc you just captured dead?"

Hu Shen didn't answer but asked a question instead.

Niu Li quickly shook his head, "He's not dead yet."
