The orcs looked down on them.

Good grief, he's gotten bolder after being saved by the boss once; he actually dared to ask the boss for weapons directly.

The young orc looked at Shen Miao with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Shen Miao didn't ask any questions and simply handed him the stone knife. The orc took it and slashed his hands and body several times with great force.

A gasp went up from the crowd.

Good heavens, did this person fall into a swamp and go crazy? Otherwise, why would he cut himself with a knife?

The young orc not only rowed himself, but after he finished, he wanted to row for his companions. The other orcs quickly stopped him, scolding, "Are you crazy? Our leader went through so much trouble to rescue you, and this is how you repay her?"

The young orc ignored all attempts to stop him and slashed his three companions several more times, completely enraging the other orcs, who pounced on him to subdue him.

This guy has gone mad. They need to find a way to control him, lest the boss loses his temper and kill him.

"Wait, let him go!" Shen Miao suddenly exclaimed.

The beastmen were stunned, looking at Shen Miao nervously. Was she angry? Was she going to deal with this guy herself?

Ignoring the terrified looks in the beastmen's eyes, Shen Miao stood up and walked up to the young beastman, staring at him from head to toe with a strange light in her eyes. Not satisfied with just looking, she reached out and touched him.

The beastmen looked at each other in bewilderment.

Could it be that the boss has taken a fancy to this boiled chicken?

The beastmen were indignant. Why this poor, scrawny chicken? Just because he was young? They could do it too. They were ready to sacrifice themselves at any time, just by saying the word to their leader!

"When did you discover that you possess this ability?" Shen Miao suddenly asked.

The young orc exclaimed excitedly, "Just now, I stepped on a sharp rock, but my foot is perfectly fine. I even tried scratching myself with the rock, and I'm still okay. Boss, have I become an impenetrable fortress?"

Well, it's not that exaggerated.

However, Shen Miao was quite curious about their changes. Was it because of the swamp? Otherwise, why did they all have the same ability?

Shen Miao scrutinized the young orc for a moment, making the belatedly aware orc feel embarrassed. "Boss, what are you looking for?"

"Is there anything unusual about you?" Shen Miao asked.

The young orc sensed it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Nothing's wrong, it's the same as before."

Shen Miao's gaze fell on a wound on his leg. "How did you get this?"

"Oh, this wasn't there before. I don't know where it came from. Hmm, how come I didn't even know about it myself?" The young orc seemed to have discovered a new continent.

Shen Miao's eyes flickered, and she suddenly lifted her foot and walked towards the swamp.

The surrounding orcs were completely confused and didn't understand what was happening; they just followed Shen Miao.

Shen Miao circled the swamp once, then caught a worm that looked like a praying mantis but had a pair of horns on its head. She pinched the worm, put her hand under its mouth, and the worm bit her.

"Boss!"

A chorus of gasps rose and fell around them.

Shen Miao released the insect, which leaped high into the air as if fleeing for its life, and soon disappeared into the swamp.

Shen Miao tried jumping in place, and it did seem easier than before. She then hurdled forward a bit and finally confirmed that she had indeed improved a lot in jumping.

She was never an expert in this area before, so this ability came from that insect.

Shen Miao told Xuan Ranjun about her discovery, and then pointed to the young orc, saying, "The insects in this swamp each have different functions, just like beast crystals. For example, this young man and I were bitten by insects, and he gained the ability to be invulnerable to swords and blades. I was bitten by insects and gained the ability to jump. Perhaps you can try it too."

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise, "This is incredible! It has such a good effect without using beast crystals! We have to try it!"

So, a strange sight suddenly appeared at the edge of the swamp where no one dared to approach: Xuanran's army members stared wide-eyed, desperately searching for insects.

Some people who caught the insects tried it on themselves on the spot and found that their superpowers had been enhanced.

This strategy worked every time. Xuanran's army either gained new abilities or their existing abilities were strengthened. Everyone was overjoyed to have gained an extra skill for no reason.

Realizing that this was also brought by Shen Miao, they all rushed over to thank her.

Shen Miao remained calm and waved her hand, saying, "It's good that it works. Pack your things and let's go."

Everyone agreed, quickly packed their things, and set off again.

The journey was filled with laughter and cheerful songs; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were on a spring outing.

Of course, the journey will not be so smooth.

Two or three days later, Shen Miao and his companions encountered the Beast Mercenary Army. Yes, the Beast Mercenary Army, a group of tall orcs dressed and armed in uniform.

When Shen Miao saw it, she was startled. She thought all the orcs were like her previous tribe, loose and disorganized, and that if someone came, they would just get beaten up.

Unexpectedly, there was already such a regular army outside.

This is not as good as her Xuanran Army... of course, it is still slightly inferior, but it is still very good.

We still need to get out and about more, otherwise we'll really become like the frog in the well, with its limited perspective.

While she was lost in thought, the leader of the mercenary army had already spoken up: "Who goes there? Leave your things behind and you may pass. Otherwise, you and your things will both be left behind."

Wow, this is highway robbery! And it's pretty advanced.

Indeed, throughout history, no matter how advanced human development has become, there has never been a shortage of people who harbor the idea of ​​getting something for nothing.

"Damn it, they actually dare to rob us! They don't know how powerful I am. Let them come and see what I'm capable of!" The orc named Shanzi brandished his weapon, looking fierce.

The other Xuanran troops were also eager to try.

Orcs are warlike, not to mention these specially trained soldiers.

Seeing that Shen Miao's team was not responding for a long time, the leader of the opposing beastmen army got angry and cursed, "Damn it, what are you dawdling for? You don't want to hand it over, do you? Take it from me!"

At his command, the mercenaries rushed forward in a swarm, full of momentum.

In the past, their sheer presence and sheer numbers were enough to terrify anyone, but today, they were facing Xuan Ran's army.

Xuan Ran's army was no less numerous than theirs, and their morale was even higher.

As soon as the two sides clashed, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The leader of the mercenary army headed straight for Shen Miao. He believed in capturing the leader first; he had long recognized Shen Miao's high status, and with this female beast captured, the others were no threat!
