The low, cold voice, authoritative without being angry, made the two beasts' hearts tighten.

"Thump!"

Yingjie and Niuli knelt down together, bowing their heads in fear, and repeatedly agreed.

Even when the king was injured, his aura remained so powerful that no one dared to disobey him.

“I don’t want to repeat myself.” Hu Shen’s deep eyes swept over the two beasts.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know my mistake! I will definitely find the cub safe and sound!"

The two beasts bowed their heads respectfully in response.

"Your Majesty, your injuries..." Ying Jie said, looking at Hu Shen's injuries with concern.

The deep, bone-exposing wound showed no signs of improvement; in fact, it became even more severe.

Wang Ke is their hope for reclaiming Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and the leader of all the orcs. There must be absolutely no mishaps!

"It's alright." Hu Shen's eyebrows drooped wearily, his thin lips pale and colorless, making the two beasts dare not relax at all.

Niu Li clenched his fist and said in a rough voice:

"I'll go hunting and catch some nourishing game for the king so he can recover soon!"

As he spoke, he walked out of the cave.

“Niu Li, come back.” Hu Shen called to him in a low voice, “No need to hunt anymore, give me the fruit.”

These are extraordinary times. He is seriously injured and unable to fight off the enemy. He does not want Niu Li and Ying Jie to risk their lives for food.

"Your Majesty! You should eat meat. Eating meat will help your injuries heal faster!" Niu Li said, frowning.

"Am I injured? Is it because I can't speak anymore?"

Hu Shen glanced at Niu Li.

Niu Li quickly lowered his head, "This subordinate dares not, this subordinate is only worried about Your Majesty's health. Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is still waiting for Your Majesty to rescue it, Your Majesty cannot afford any mistakes..."

"I'll be fine. Bring me the fruit." Hu Shen's tone was calm and cold, exuding an unquestionable authority.

Yingjie quickly handed over the fruit, and Niu Li could only shut his mouth when he saw this.

He thought to himself that once the king tasted the fruit and found it unpalatable, he would definitely send him out hunting again.

Fruit can't compare to meat! Only meat is the best food to make orcs stronger!

The bright red fruit was cut into four pieces, and its sweet fragrance immediately spread out and reached the beasts.

Niu Li, who was confident of success, was stunned and dumbfounded. Why did this fruit smell so good?

It smells delicious, completely different from the sour and astringent fruits I've eaten before.

Yingjie was also astonished, staring incredulously at the fruit in Hu Shen's hand.

The aroma whetted Hu Shen's appetite. He took a bite, and the sweet juice immediately flowed down his tongue, as if carrying a surge of energy.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Hu Shen felt that the pain in his body seemed to have lessened a little.

Under the astonished gazes of Yingjie and Niuli, Hushen ate one large fruit after another, and before he knew it, the two large fruits were completely devoured, leaving only the bare pits.

Niu Li couldn't help but lick his lips. "Your Majesty, is this fruit... delicious?"

He really wanted to try it too.

"Hmm, not bad." Hu Shen said calmly, placing the apple core on the ground.

Two beasts: Why do they think it's so great?

Yingjie stared in disbelief. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the king's complexion seemed slightly better than before.

Could this fruit be a divine fruit?

Does it also have the ability to heal injuries?

Hu Shen looked at the fruit pit a few more times. He had never eaten such a fruit before. Not only was it big and tasted good, but after eating it, he felt full of energy. If he had a few more, his injuries would definitely heal faster.

Niu Li swallowed hard, and seeing Hu Shen's gaze, he asked Ying Jie impatiently:

"Yingjie, where did you find these fruits? Do you have any more? Go find some more!"

"I saw them on the way to the hunt. There are only these two. I don't know if there are any more nearby..." Yingjie said honestly.

"Then hurry up and look again," Niu Li urged.

He was a herbivorous beastman, but he had lived with a group of carnivorous beastmen in the Beast Mountain since childhood, and had also developed a habit of eating meat. In addition, the fruits he had eaten before were either sour and astringent or numb in his mouth and not tasty at all, so he did not like to eat fruits.

But the aroma he smelled today immediately awakened his vegetarian instincts!

Yingjie looked at Hushen.

Hu Shen had his eyes half-closed, seemingly resting, and paid no attention to their conversation.

This is tacit approval.

“Alright, then you stay here and guard the king. I’ll be right back.” Yingjie nodded and walked to the entrance of the stone cave, took off his animal skin, transformed into an eagle, and flew away.

Before long, Yingjie returned empty-handed.

"There are no more of these fruits around here. It's like these fruits appeared out of thin air and were deliberately placed there. It's really a ghost!"

Yingjie looked regretful.

"The fruit can appear out of thin air? Could it be that the Beast God has manifested and bestowed this divine fruit upon the King?" Niu Li suddenly widened his eyes and asked incredulously.

They simply couldn't think of any other possibility.

After all, they had never seen such a fruit before.

Hearing the two beasts' words, a hint of regret flashed across Hu Shen's eyes.

Well, it's already lucky to have encountered two of these miraculous fruits. He already feels his injuries are improving, and full recovery is only a matter of time.

Now he just hopes his injuries will heal quickly; he must find those cubs as soon as possible.

The young children of their lineage are the most vulnerable, especially those who haven't been weaned yet. If they are separated from the protection of their fathers and mothers, they have almost no chance of survival.

Even if it is lucky enough to survive, without enough nutrients, it will become a useless, weak beast in the future.

He absolutely will not allow either of these to happen!
