A special skill?! It should be a skill to suppress beast form. Why didn't you use it from the beginning? Was it to defeat him with sheer strength?

Carlos was stunned for a moment, and Ian pressed his advantage, his attack several times more ferocious than before.

Guo Xiaoxiao also sensed something was wrong. She jumped from the tree to the ground, blocking Ian. Upon close contact with the naked male, she awkwardly looked him straight in the eye, ignoring his masculine charm.

"Wait, no, that won't do."

"roll!"

Ian stopped, his claws hovering in mid-air, not falling.

I said no!

Guo Xiaoxiao stubbornly stopped Ian, forbidding him from continuing his attack.

Even the usually composed Carlos was taken aback by Guo Xiaoxiao. She jumped so high and landed perfectly still—what if she got injured? He'd really underestimated her.

Ian sneered from the side, saying disdainfully, "What right do you have to tell me what to do?"

The remaining leopards all drooled at Guo Xiaoxiao. They had never seen such a beautiful female before. They hadn't had time to admire her while they were in the tree, but upon closer inspection, she was stunning—a hundred times more beautiful than Salina from their tribe, with fair and tender skin.

"If you dare hurt her, I'll kill you!"

Carlos's tone was icy cold, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty crimson.

Ian was unmoved by Guo Xiaoxiao's beauty; weren't all females the same, just tools for reproduction?

Arthur thought the same thing back then…

"What if I want to hurt her?"

Ian was annoyed by Carlos's way of speaking, and he and his leopard beast quickly surrounded him, trying to persuade him.

"Ian, you've gone too far! We don't care if you kill the snake beast, but you even attack the females?"

"Exactly, females are weak. If you swat her with your claws, how could she possibly survive?"

"Stop! Don't hurt her!"

…

Being female has many advantages; she should have jumped down sooner rather than later. Guo Xiaoxiao was secretly pleased; escaping successfully would be no problem.

But the leopard beast was determined to take Guo Xiaoxiao back to the tribe. Ian was dissuaded by the others, thought for a moment, lowered his hand, and said, raising his chin.

"Are you his female?"

Guo Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, we are partners."

Carlos's strength was greatly reduced when he transformed into human form. He held Guo Xiaoxiao's waist for easier protection.

Ian raised an eyebrow and swiftly circled behind Carlos. His ability enhancement had worn off, and this time Carlos couldn't dodge, taking a sudden blow to the head and losing consciousness.

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. Carlos had actually been knocked unconscious? He'd fallen into a trap and been bullied by a leopard!

A leopard carried Carlos on its shoulder; their meaning was clear.

"Take the beautiful female back and let her choose a few more mates; lock up her males for now."

"OK!"

Ian turned and walked away, leaving Guo Xiaoxiao alone with several leopard beasts. They had all expected Ian to be attracted to the beautiful female, and restrained their impulses, letting Ian make the first move. However, Ian simply walked away.

The opportunity had arrived! Guo Xiaoxiao sensed the danger and glanced at the unconscious Carlos on the leopard beast's shoulder; he showed no signs of waking up.

"Don't mess around, I'm pretty good too!"

The leopard beasts looked rather lecherous, but they wouldn't pounce on him directly. Unless they were wandering beastmen, they were all focused on the outcome; such rudeness would lead to dire consequences.

They swarmed around Guo Xiaoxiao, each one beaming with smiles as they introduced themselves.

"My name is Ayao, the second-in-command of my tribe. Marry me, and I promise you'll never go hungry."

"I am Fred, the strongest warrior of the Leopard Clan, a two-star ring expert. Our offspring will surely be very strong."

"I am Parker, and my cave is huge."

"I am Vasily, female, look at me, stop staring at them."

They all rushed around Guo Xiaoxiao, eagerly introducing themselves. They're all undeniably handsome, but what's with all of them crowding around him? As for Carlos, let him carry the load.

Is there a problem with leaving it hanging like this?

"I don't like any of you! And you, put Carlos down right now!"

Guo Xiaoxiao refused without hesitation.

The orc carrying Kax shook his head. The snake beast was powerful; Ian had knocked it unconscious, so it needed to be locked up to prevent it from causing trouble again.

They looked at each other, and finally said, "Let's take it back first."

Whether Guo Xiaoxiao wanted it or not, they politely "invited" her back to the tribe.

Their tribe lived in a valley, not far from the fighting area, but hidden by trees and invisible to the naked eye.

In fact, Carlos knew that there were many orcs gathering not far from them. He sensed movement and was sure that they were not wandering orcs.

The places where wandering orcs gather usually reek of blood, but this place didn't. It was just an ordinary small tribe, and besides, they were only passing through. Generally, tribes wouldn't go looking for trouble.

As long as you don't attack them, there won't be any problems.

Who knew!

They encountered Ian, who had a very bad temper. He was furious to see Carlos carrying a female and brazenly trespassing into someone else's territory and wandering around the tribe's land.

Adding to the fact that Carlos is a serpent beast, and serpent beasts have the worst reputation in the beast world, it's as if the females were stolen by him, he looks like a stray beast who stole a female.

He rushed in and started fighting, getting more and more carried away. Then, he realized that Guo Xiaoxiao wasn't like a typical female; she seemed to possess skills like witchcraft.

That completely changed the nature of the situation. A female with witchcraft skills would be a tremendous asset to their tribe. Ian might not like females, but that didn't mean he didn't want the tribe to become stronger.

The mindset changed in the end.

From initially wanting to subdue Carlos, they eventually decided to kill him, take the female back to the tribe, and force him to mate with some strong males from the tribe.

However, with Guo Xiaoxiao's abilities and healing spells, while the group surrounded and attacked Carlos, they all sustained injuries to varying degrees, but Carlos remained unharmed.

Ian had a strong sense of pride and disliked using special skills to forcibly prevent his opponent from transforming into a beast, considering it cheating. However, he had no choice but to seal Carlos's abilities because he was truly outmatched.

The sneak attack succeeded...

The tribe's name is White Stone Tribe

Guo Xiaoxiao was assigned to the tribe's residential area.

Carlos was thrown into the dungeon and locked in a corner.

Guo Xiaoxiao was forced to listen to the orcs talk about her, and orcs would come to her from time to time.

"Female, these foods are for you."

"Female, this fur coat is for you."

I like you, let's be partners.

Guo Xiaoxiao had a long face

"It's always the same old stuff, nothing new. Can't you say something different?"

Which tribe does Linzhi belong to? We haven't even met them yet, and now we're trapped. What bad luck!

[System: Host, don't panic, they mean no harm.]

Guo Xiaoxiao heard the system's voice and said

"Regardless of their malice, I'm going to save Linzhi. They asked me to come and save their lives. And besides, they captured Carlos! Honestly!"

[System: It will take at least seven more days to get to Linzhi from here. The Northern Hemisphere is divided into several continents. The Wilderness Continent has several continents, including the South, East, West, and North. You are currently on the Southern Continent, while Linzhi is on the Eastern Continent. Be patient and wait for Arthur and the others to come and rescue you.]

"It's so far away," Guo Xiaoxiao said. "How are they doing now? What if I get there and they're already dead?"
