Da Bao glared at him fiercely, turned her face away, and ignored him.

However, this matter could not be hidden no matter how hard it was tried. Later, when Da Bao was eating, he showed his toothless gums, which surprised the children. So Shen Miao explained it to them again.

Erbao and the others couldn't stop laughing, and whenever they had a chance, they would start teasing Dabao. Dabao would then pin them to the ground and beat them up before they would behave.

Shen Miao hadn't been up the mountain for a long time. When she heard the kids talking about eating venison, and since there wasn't any at home, she took her hunting tools and went into the mountains. However, she wasn't very lucky. After being in the mountains for most of the day, she didn't see a single animal hair, let alone a wild deer.

Hunting is like this, and it's no wonder that many orcs in the tribe who have no other skills live in poverty.

For her to make this trip today is like a wasted trip to the mountains.

Shen Miao leaned against the tree to rest for a while, then prepared to go and take another look at the other side.

Just then, she suddenly felt something quietly binding her. Looking down, she saw a vine extending from her waist. The vine seemed to have a mind of its own, tightening its grip on her body little by little.

Shen Miao's scalp tingled. What the hell?

The vine realized she had spotted it and quickened its pace. Shen Miao jumped up, grabbed her sword, and slashed at the vine, severing it and spurting out a thick sap.

Shen Miao reached out to block it, but only managed to block part of it; the majority of it still landed on her face and body.

She wiped it off with her sleeve, not paying any attention, and just stared intently at the strange tree.

I remember now, this kind of tree was described in the original book. It's called the Beast-Eating Tree, which, as the name suggests, is a tree specifically designed to target orcs and has a very strong attack power.

Shen Miao hadn't noticed at first, but now, looking around, she realized that she had unknowingly entered the encirclement of the Beast-Eating Trees.

The veins on the back of her hand bulged as she gripped the knife tightly.

A rustling sound came from all around. Shen Miao glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that all the trees began to move, their vines weaving a net that covered her head.

Shen Miao brandished her knife, chopping down one vine after another, and her body sap increased.

Suddenly, several vines fell from above, about to pull Shen Miao up. She used all her strength to slash at the air, and the vines quickly retracted, no longer daring to approach Shen Miao rashly.

However, Shen Miao's strength had been almost completely exhausted.

The vines were cunning; they were observing Shen Miao, and once she could no longer stand up, they would swarm her and devour her.

"Huff, huff." Shen Miao was breathing heavily.

After a brief standoff, the vines launched another attack. Shen Miao's arm was accidentally entangled by the vines, and she felt that the vines were incredibly strong, pulling her upwards.

Shen Miao struggled desperately against that force, her feet firmly planted on the ground, but her body was still being pulled up little by little.

Just as Shen Miao's figure was about to disappear into the dense shade of the trees, a figure suddenly appeared. Shen Miao's consciousness was already blurred, and she vaguely knew that she seemed to have been saved.

The man carried her on his back and ran wildly out of the mountains.

"Put me down, Jiuying." Shen Miao gently pushed Jiuying.

Jiuying put her down as instructed, and Shen Miao immediately took a few steps back. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were glazed, and she was in a very strange state.

Jiuying stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Chenmiao, what's wrong?"

Shen Miao shook her head. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Suddenly, her consciousness seemed to be out of her control. Her body was burning hot, and she really wanted to... stick to Jiu Ying.

Just now, it was because she realized this that she got off Jiuying.

"Subtle and profound..."

"Jiuying, what are you doing here?" Shen Miao pinched herself hard, trying to stay awake.

Jiuying pursed her lips. "I wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game. When I heard a noise, I went to check it out. I didn't expect to see you."

He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about that dangerous situation.

"Shen Miao, are you alright?" Jiu Ying stepped forward.

Shen Miao stumbled backward: "Don't come any closer, I'm fine."

Jiuying was completely confused, not understanding why Shen Miao was suddenly so resistant to him. He suddenly remembered something. Could it be that Shen Miao was injured?

Thinking of this, Jiuying became anxious and, disregarding everything else, immediately stepped in front of Chen Miao and said in a deep voice, "Where do you feel unwell? Let me see."

Shen Miao didn't know why this was happening. After thinking about it, she felt it must be because of the juice. Seeing Jiu Ying so close, she was initially very resistant, but her body subconsciously moved closer to Jiu Ying.

"Jiuying, Jiuying..." Shen Miao lifted herself up to Jiuying and subconsciously rubbed against him.

It feels so good. This person is so cool and refreshing. I want to hold them forever.

The moment Jiuying's body touched her, she froze, afraid to move her hands or feet. Only her mouth managed to utter a difficult question: "Chen Miao, what are you doing?"

Shen Miao could no longer hear his words clearly; her consciousness had completely blurred.

Jiuying finally noticed something was wrong. Shen Miao's body was so hot, as if she were hugging a furnace. He pushed Shen Miao away slightly and called out, "Shen Miao?"

Shen Miao instinctively threw herself at him again.

With a solemn expression, Jiuying knocked the person unconscious, then put him on her back and hurried home.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter many orcs along the way. Jiuying was anxious, fearing that something might happen to Shenmiao, so she walked very fast and soon they were close to the tribe.

Green Pearl appeared at this time.

"Heavens! What are you two doing? Shen Miao, you're a female beastman with a beastman's body, don't you know the meaning of 'respect'?" Green Pearl shouted.

Jiuying said coldly, "Shut up."

Green Pearl was taken aback, then shrieked, "You tell me to shut up, but don't do such shameless things yourself! Shenmiao has orcs, and you're going to corrupt the spirit of our tribe."

"I told you to shut up!" Jiuying's face was extremely ugly.

In the past, because Green Pearl always picked on Shen Miao, Jiu Ying had a very bad impression of this female beast. Now that she was taking the initiative to provoke him, Jiu Ying felt his hands were itching.

Green Pearl, oblivious to the danger, continued to yell, "Who do you think you are? You're just a stray beast! If our tribe hadn't taken you in, you would have died long ago. You wouldn't even have a chance to... Ah, what are you doing? What are you doing, you beastman? Help! The beastman is attacking the female beast! Help me!"

Green Pearl covered her head and ran around frantically. She never expected that Nine-Headed Serpent would actually hit her.

That wretched stray beast.

"Listen up, shut your mouth. If I hear you babbling around again, things won't be so simple." Jiuying kicked Green away, picked up Chen Miao again, and went straight home.
