Ziyue gently pinched her petals and smiled warmly: "Thank you, I'm much better now."
Xingtu brought over the herbs and unwrapped the bandages from Ziyue's body: "The medical skills of the vegetative state people are superb. Zewu said that after using these medicines, she will recover almost completely."
“By then, we should also leave,” Ziyue said.
Yu Wanwan blinked: "Where are you going?"
Didn't they say their hometown had been destroyed? If they leave here, how will the two of them, with no relatives or friends, survive?
"We're going to Beast City to fight against Dark Breath alongside the Beast King."
Zi Yue clenched her fists, a resolute look on her face: "My homeland has been destroyed, I cannot allow Dark Breath to continue occupying other tribes."
She also wanted to fight to the death, but she was not strong enough to deal with Dark Breath. She could only try a different approach to do something for the Beastman Continent and the Beastmen.
They left almost immediately after Ziyue recovered from her injuries.
Yu Wanwan sat on Ze Wu's shoulders and watched them leave, her eyes filled with sadness.
Zewu nudged her and said, "Don't make that face. They're just doing what they want to do."
It was dusk, the sky was a deep purplish-red, but in the distance, the edges were tinged with a hazy black.
Yu Wanwan keenly sensed that it wasn't a shadow or a distant mountain, but the dark aura of the God of Darkness, who was slowly encroaching on this once peaceful continent.
"I have a feeling something's going to happen," Yu Wanwan murmured.
After that day, Yu Wanwan danced even more frequently. She was in pain almost every day, and before she could recover, she had to start a new round of torment.
Several more orcs from the tribe came seeking help.
They wept bitterly at the entrance to their tribe, saying that their tribe had been invaded by the Dark Breath and that they had escaped with their lives.
Chief Qiu Chen looked at them in confusion: "Why aren't you going to Beast City? What are you doing here?"
Beast City is the main base of the beastmen; even if they need a place to stay, they should go there.
An orc stepped forward and said, “Beast City is too far away. We can’t find any food on the road, and some of us are injured. A female from the Golden Lion Clan sent us here. She said you would heal us.”
The female of the Golden Lion Clan is Purple Moon.
On their way to the Beast City, they encountered this group of fleeing orcs. Fearing that they might die from their injuries, they suggested that they come here for treatment.
After discussion, the vegetative state community decided to accept them all.
These past few days, Ze Wu has been leaving early and returning late. Only then did Yu Wanwan realize that Chief Qiu Chen had gradually begun to assign him the chief's duties, so recently, Ze Wu had been arranging accommodations for the beastmen.
After finishing her dance that day, Yu Wanwan dragged her tired body and limped home.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded above her head, and the next second, her body was lifted into the air.
Before me were two unfamiliar faces, one with short hair and the other short and stocky, both wearing malicious smiles.
Upon seeing the animal skin skirts around their waists, Yu Wanwan immediately realized that these two people were beastmen recently accepted by the plant tribe.
“Look, this is the spirit flower that dances the prayer dance.” The short-haired orc nudged his companion with his elbow.
The short, stocky orc tugged at Yu Wanwan's petals, and seeing her wince in pain, a sadistic pleasure surged within him. He laughed, "They looked quite beautiful when they were dancing, but they look so ugly up close."
They had long been curious about the spirit flower that transmitted the power of the Beast God, but the flowers would hide after their dance and usually run away at the sight of people. They never expected that they would actually catch one today.
"These flowers look just like people."
"You said they transmit the power of the Beast God, so could they also possess the power of the Beast God?"
"Do you want to...?"
They smiled at each other and instantly understood what the other meant.
"Pick a petal first and taste it to make sure it's not poisonous before eating it."
Yu Wanwan trembled, her eyes widening in fear.
These two orcs actually wanted to eat me!
The two of them were like giants, with eerie smiles on their faces, their thick fingers grabbing and pulling at a petal of Yu Wanwan's flower.
Yu Wanwan screamed in pain as she tried to grab the orc's fingers with her leaf-like hands. The sharp edges of the leaves immediately cut their skin, and blood oozed from the wounds.
"Hiss—the leaves of this little thing are so sharp." The short-haired orc, whose hand had been cut, put his finger in his mouth.
The short, stocky man cursed him for being useless, then grabbed Yu Wanwan's two petals with both hands. She felt as if she was being torn apart, and intense pain shot through her body.
She struggled fiercely, opening her mouth and biting down on his short, stocky finger with all her might, almost tearing off a piece of his flesh.
The short, stocky orc quickly swung his hand forcefully, throwing Yu Wanwan to the ground, where she saw stars.
"How can such a small flower have so much strength?" He looked at it with disdain and hatred, clutching his fingers and wailing.
The short-haired orc snorted and said gloatingly, "See? He said I was useless. It must be because she has the power of the Beast God that she's so troublesome."
The short, stocky orc gritted his teeth, then lifted Yu Wanwan up from the ground and said viciously, "Your teeth are hard, but do you think they're harder than mine? I'll chew you up right now!"
He tilted his head back and opened his mouth wide.
Yu Wanwan was directly above him, with his large mouth below her. She could even see his wet, hot tongue and food residue between his teeth.
