"Let's go!"

The lead orc said with difficulty, then turned and left.

A group of exhausted orcs breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind. They had come in a large group, but returned with only a pitiful hundred or so.

The warriors were extremely heavy-hearted!

Having failed to secure food and lost so many warriors, many beasts are likely to starve to death this snowy season...

A cold wind howled past, making Mao Ning's hair a mess.

Mao Ning appeared tall and aloof on the surface, but in reality, he was extremely grief-stricken.

"Are you really not going to chase them anymore? They killed so many of our warriors!" Xiong Huo roared angrily at Mao Ning.

They just let the beast escape like that!

"Don't chase! Let's rest and clean up the battlefield." Mao Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, making it impossible for the beast to discern her emotions.

The best approach is to intimidate the other side and force them to leave.

If they continue the pursuit, although they might win, they cannot afford to lose any more warriors; every warrior is a treasure to the tribe.

Wolf King patted his shoulder with a complicated expression and comforted him gently: "Your decision is right. We can't afford to go through any more trouble."

Aoki looked at them with a pained expression, then said angrily, "You just let the beasts get away like that? They killed our brothers! If you won't chase them, I will!"

Anger made his voice low and hoarse.

He turned and left after saying that, ignoring all the beasts.

It transformed into a beast and leaped into the air.

Soon, the golden figure disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Then another orc transformed into an orc and gave chase.

Wolf King's eyes turned slightly cold. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the air, transforming into a silver wolf as he gave chase.

"I'll go take a look."

He was fast, and in just a few breaths he caught up with the angry group of males.

Wolf King frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to release a curtain of fire to block the way.

They had to stop, turn around, and transform back into human form.

The Wolf King walked slowly, a hint of weariness on his face, his powerful aura pressing down on everything around him.

His usually gentle features now held a solemn air, and his clear, gentle voice was unusually cold.

"Should we chase after them, corner them, and force them to fight to the death, so that we lose a few more warriors?"

Aoki was taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to say that.

He subconsciously looked at Wolf King and said seriously, "Isn't there you? You're a fourth-tier..."

Meeting Wolf King's deep eyes, he unconsciously fell silent.

"I have no strength left to fight." The Wolf King's expression was calm, but his voice was icy.

"What? I...I don't know." Aoki's eyes widened as he looked at Wolf King in astonishment.

Only then did I notice that his lips were pale and his face was exhausted.

The flame emblem on his chest was a very light color, almost fading away.

His heart trembled, and he stepped forward, saying worriedly, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't expect... Are you alright?"

He deserves to die. I was just complaining in my heart about him having superpowers but not using them.

If it weren't for his special ability, they would have suffered heavy losses; they wouldn't have won so easily.

He should have thought of that sooner.

"Hit me then!" Aoki said, his face full of guilt.

The males nearby, as if doused with a bucket of cold water, sobered up and now looked guilty.

"Wolf King, I'm sorry, but please hit me too!"

"Me too, hit me!"

"..."

The wolf king revealed a relieved smile, like an iceberg melting, which made the world pale in comparison.

He chuckled and said, "It's alright, go back."

———

The battle ended much faster than expected.

The males, their faces filled with grief, cleaned up the battlefield and, without prior arrangement, went to the shaman's house to visit the warriors who had died in battle.

They fought while simultaneously carrying away the wounded and the corpses; they are all currently at the witch doctor's house.

The warriors were dumbfounded when they entered.

In the shaman's house, a bunch of males lay on the floor of the small living room.

Upon closer inspection, isn't that the guy who just died?

"Hey, isn't that so-and-so over there who got his guts ripped out and is beyond saving?"

"Good heavens, this isn't..."

"Waaaaah, you're not dead!"

The witch doctor, his face full of kindness and his cloudy eyes gleaming with wisdom, looked at the group of simple-minded males and made some lighthearted jokes.

"Let go! Let go! You'll kill me even if I'm not already dead!"

A group of males were caught off guard by the huge surprise and kept asking the witch doctor questions for a long time.

After hearing the explanation, I realized that it was thanks to the hemostatic medicine that Shengxia made that the witch doctor had time to treat the patient.

In the end, not a single animal died!

Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground during the battle, I thought my teammates had died on the spot, but it turned out they were all enemy orcs.

That's great!

"Are you relieved? Let's go home." Wolf King said gently to Aoki.

I wonder how my baby is doing, and if he's scared.

"Yes! Let's go home!"

Aoki nodded emphatically, his smile so wide it was almost impossible to see his eyes.

I wonder if my little one misses him...

Summer, who was being eyed by the two beasts, was staring blankly at Yang Yun in the space.

"You've leveled up?" Sheng Xia came to her senses and looked at the small, ice-blue wings on his chest with great surprise.

Having a badge on your chest means you've definitely been promoted.

Yang Yun looked down at her; her eyebrows were curved, and her smile was like the warm sunshine of the snowy season, illuminating a dark corner in his heart, making him feel soft and warm.

"I've leveled up, and I feel full of power."

Her almond-shaped eyes widened in excitement. She had leveled up! Now she had two level four ability users in her family!

What kind of superpower do you have?
