Chapter 51: Mountain God Zhu Jiuyin

Pei Xiaoxing and Raven concluded that they had defended all four sides and had not missed any direction.

How could someone suddenly appear out of nowhere right under their noses and rush straight towards Sheng Ran?

Without time to think about these things, the two beastly husbands looked at each other, confirmed that protecting their wives was the first priority, and launched attacks from different angles.

A threatening growl rolled out of Pei Xiaoxing's throat, and his sharp claws in half-beast form scratched three deep marks on the ground. He pulled Sheng Ran behind him and dodged the man.

The muscles on the raven's shoulder blades suddenly tensed, and the dark wings instantly pierced the skin. Countless feathers gathered strength and turned into sharp arrows that shot towards the strange figure.

The arrows were so dense that even if the opponent had a strong ability, it would be impossible to dodge them all. Unexpectedly, the man turned into a red fireball and disappeared into the air again, unharmed.

"Space-related supernatural powers!" Raven frowned, and immediately thought of the mysterious orc who secretly attacked them when they were assassinated for the first time in the mountains. Could it be this uninvited guest?

But he helped them last time, why is he attacking Sheng Ran now?

Sheng Ran was also caught off guard by this sudden incident, and only then realized that this person was not Tu Shanyi.

When I saw the red ball of fire just now, my first reaction was that the fox had finally found its way home.

Wasn't it him?

"The opponent is quite powerful. A fight will only result in losses for both sides." Pei Xiaoxing looked at Raven, "You take my wife back first. I'll cover your rear..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange aura from before came to his face again, and the two beastmen's eyes were fixed on the male beast that reappeared ten steps away.

He just paused there, as if thinking about his next move.

The situation came to a brief stagnation. Pei Xiaoxing and Raven took this opportunity to observe each other and were able to see the man's true appearance.

This was a stranger, very tall, with dark red scales covering his bare arms. He had a thick tail dragging from his caudal vertebrae, which was now slightly stretched, and he was clearly on alert.

His eyes swept over Pei Xiaoxing and Raven, but in the next moment they fixed on Sheng Ran.

The light that flashed in those vertical pupils made Pei Xiaoxing and Raven's hearts sink suddenly - it was not hostility, but a kind of burning heat that was almost greedy, like staring at prey, or like staring at some kind of treasure that was eagerly desired.

"Ah--" Pei Xiaoxing didn't give the other party a chance to react. He kicked the ground with his hind legs and pounced forward with a strong wind.

He knew best what this look meant. In this world of animals where there were more males than females, any male animal that showed any desire for Sheng Ran was a threat that must be torn apart.

The red-scaled orc was obviously not a good person either. Seeing Pei Xiaoxing rushing towards him, he did not retreat but advanced instead. He swung his tail vertebrae, and the strong wind made the surrounding ferns rustle, avoiding Pei Xiaoxing's sharp claws.

The entire long tail whipped towards Pei Xiaoxing's waist with a sound of breaking through the air, but it deviated slightly at the moment of touching him, only brushing past his ribs and hitting the ancient tree behind him, shaking the dead leaves on the tree to fall.

The raven watched for an opportunity in the air, and while the two were fighting, it flapped its wings, spun around and landed, its claws cutting a bloody wound on the red-scaled orc's arm.

But just as he was about to launch a second attack, he suddenly stopped - the red-scaled orc had the opportunity to pounce on Sheng Ran while he was landing unsteadily, but he just raised his hand to wipe the blood off his arm, and his gaze passed over his shoulder and fell back on Sheng Ran.

The look in his eyes was strange. It didn't have murderous intent, but instead carried a bit of clumsy eagerness, like a male beast showing off his strength to the female beast he liked, but was afraid of scaring the other party.

"You..." Pei Xiaoxing's growl became a little weaker, but his mane was still standing upright.

The red-scaled orc finally withdrew his gaze, and when he looked at the two beast husbands, the ferocity in his vertical pupils faded a little, but was filled with an undisguised hostility.

He pointed at Sheng Ran, then at himself, and uttered a low, hoarse sound from his throat, as if he had learned to speak for the first time: "She... mine."

Sheng Ran blinked in confusion behind Pei Xiaoxing, only then realizing that this strange orc had deliberately avoided her direction with every attack during the fight.

Pei Xiaoxing's pupils suddenly constricted, and the silver hairs on his eyes stood up.

He was no longer on guard against the enemy, but protected Sheng Ran even tighter. There was something new in the growl in his throat - it was a masculine anger that declared his sovereignty.

It turns out he wasn't here to hurt anyone.

He is here to rob people.

Having inexplicably become the object of competition, Sheng Ran hid behind Pei Xiaoxing, feeling frightened by the advances of this strange male beast.

The red-scaled orc's arm was still bleeding. When he noticed Sheng Ran's fear, his golden pupils dimmed a little and his expression was hurt.

Sheng Ran didn't expect that such an orc with powerful superpowers would be as mentally fragile as a piece of paper.

Sheng Ran couldn't help but feel guilty and asked the system helplessly, "Who is he?"

[I don’t know his specific identity, but…]

The system was still querying when suddenly a thunderstorm struck the sky. The entire chapter was covered with dark clouds and the light was so dim that I almost thought the world would end in the next second.

The red-scaled orc leaned against the tree in frustration, his condition gradually getting worse.

An absurd guess suddenly came to her mind. Sheng Ran swallowed nervously and suddenly stepped closer to him.

The raven was worried that its master would be injured, and was about to step forward to grab him, but was stopped by Pei Xiaoxing, who shook his head silently.

The situation was clear. That person would not harm Sheng Ran, so they had no right to stop their wife from approaching any male beast.

Sheng Ran walked cautiously towards the orc, whose form was unknown.

She could feel that his strength was formidable, but after being sealed for a long time, it had been exhausted to the limit just now.

The blood on his forearm was still flowing, and his body gradually changed from a half-orc to a complete beast form.

"A bug beast?" Pei Xiaoxing murmured uncertainly.

Raven shook his head. It didn't look like that, but he couldn't tell what it was either.

Sheng Ran skillfully used the surrounding plants to heal the wounds of the strange male beast, wanting to confirm one thing.

Her special physique also worked on him, and soon the wound on his hand began to heal.

His consciousness cleared, and he returned to his human form. He stared at Sheng Ran straightly, stunned for a while, his golden pupils shining brightly.

Then, the dark clouds seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible giant hand, and golden sunlight rushed out. A faint rainbow hung over the mountain stream. It was the best weather ever at the end of the chapter.

Sheng Ran looked up in astonishment and then looked at the male beast in front of her.

Can his mood control the weather? Is he a mountain god?

Pei Xiaoxing and Raven looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

——This insect beast has such ability?

"I'm not a bug." Zhu Jiuyin had just heard the two people's slander and finally had the energy to refute, "I am Zhulong, also known as Zhu Jiuyin, and I live in the end of the chapter all year round."

The second time he spoke, his voice was much clearer, and his eyes were fixed on Sheng Ran, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.

As if he felt that his previous words were not good enough to make her angry, he reorganized his words and changed the order of priority.

"You...wake me up."

"I am, yours."
