Chapter Seventy-Six: Desertion in the Face of Battle



After nearly half a month of progress, Yu Wanwan and her group had left the forest and were preparing to head to the plains.

Although they weren't traveling at a fast pace, Yu Wanwan had been sitting on the snake's tail, swaying back and forth. Coupled with the hot weather, she still felt unsteady when her feet touched the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Jing hugged Yu Wanwan in his arms and fed her water sip by sip.

Mo Zhou went ahead to scout out information. After a while, the black snake quickly swam back, its upper body transformed into a human form, and its lower body, the snake tail, was tucked into Yu Wanwan's arms to cool her down: "If we walk for another half day, we'll be out of the forest. There's no danger ahead, and we should reach the plains before sunset."

Seeing the little female's face flushed from the heat, Fei Han felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Let's rest for one night before we leave. Wanwan is almost exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhou and Bai Jing also turned their attention to Yu Wanwan.

After more than a month of travel, the female's originally milky white skin had darkened considerably, and she had lost a lot of weight.

Bai Jing glanced around and said, "How about this, I'll go look for a cave nearby where we can rest for a day and leave tomorrow."

Yu Wanwan also glanced around. Since they were almost at the plains, the surrounding area was flat and there were only trees. It didn't look like there was a cave at all.

She grabbed Bai Jing's hand and said, "Forget it, we'll just lay a piece of animal skin on the ground. Finding a cave is too much trouble."

Bai Jing didn't want the little female to be sitting in the open, but Yu Wanwan was determined not to let him run around anymore. She grabbed his hand and said she was hungry and wanted to eat the barbecue he made.

Bai Jing smiled helplessly and couldn't help teasing her: "Then I'll grill some meat for you and have Fei Han go find a cave."

"Ugh." Yu Wanwan pouted angrily, "I want to eat Fei Han's roasted meat too, none of you are allowed to leave."

Knowing that the little female felt sorry for him, Bai Jing let her be.

They found a clear, flat area, cleared away the weeds and stones, then laid out the animal hide and placed Yu Wanwan on it.

Fei Han piled the firewood together, and Bai Jing lit the fire with his fingers, starting to roast the meat.

The red moon rose again, and Yu Wanwan rested her chin on her hand as she watched them grill meat.

Seeing that Bai Jing's ancestral power was only used for burning, I suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

...

The Elephant Clan conquered the White Tiger Tribe in just three days. On the last day, the White Tiger Tribe's beastmen were still putting up a stubborn resistance.

Mitsuhashi now knew that the ferocious elephant-type beastman had awakened his ancestral power.

The moment he twitched his ear, a hurricane arose. Before the beastmen of the White Tiger tribe could even get close, they were blown up by the wind, carried into the sky, and then crashed down.

Since Mitsuhashi was injured in the previous battle, the elder has taken over the command.

He would come to Sanqiao every day and bring him herbs from the witch doctor's cave.

The elder applied the herbal medicine to Sanqiao, frowning as he looked at the herbs plastered on Sanqiao's chest.

"The witch doctor left in such a hurry that he didn't leave any herbs behind. This is what I found in his cave. I don't know if it will work."

Mitsuhashi had been in a coma for the past two days and only woke up today. Upon hearing that the witch doctor had left, a cryptic light flashed in his eyes: "When did the witch doctor leave?"

"On the day the elephant tribe attacked, he wanted to leave with the females and calves. I even said it was dangerous outside. Now that I think about it, I should have listened to him. Even if we had to drive them away, we should have driven all the females and calves in the tribe away."

At first, some females felt tired and didn't want to leave, but now they're constantly clamoring to leave, but the tribe is surrounded and they can't leave no matter what.

Mitsuhashi asked, "How's the situation outside now?"

After applying the medicine, the elder washed his hands and said, "It's not very good, it might be..."

He didn't continue, but when he saw Sanqiao, he smiled again: "But with you here, the people will definitely have the courage to continue fighting off the enemy."

The chieftain is the soul of a tribe. As long as the chieftain is still here, and the fire in his heart is not extinguished, the people will not back down.

After the elder finished speaking, he left.

After he left, Mitsuhashi summoned Luce.

Luce's strength in the tribe was only average. He couldn't win the battles these past few days. His face and body were covered in wounds, and he was unrecognizable.

Seeing Luce's expression, Mitsuhashi's look grew even more serious: "Luce, how is the situation in the tribe?"

Luce wiped away his tears, accidentally touching his wound and howling in pain: "Chieftain, the Elephant Clan has taken over most of our mountain strongholds, we might be..."

After hearing his words, Mitsuhashi remained silent.

Luce cried again, "Chief, I heard that the males in the defeated tribes were all enslaved, and those who refused to obey were eaten as prey. What should we do now?"

His cries sounded like a death knell, making Sanqiao even more agitated.

He certainly didn't want to die, but now the tribe was showing signs of defeat, and if they really lost, he would become a slave, or even food.

"Get out, I have my own way." Mitsuhashi interrupted Luce and kicked him out.

Luce stopped crying and asked, "Chief, what can you do?"

Mitsuhashi gave him an impatient look: "I said I have a way, and I have a way. You don't need to stay here anymore. Go out and support the elders."

Upon hearing that he was to support the elders, Luce hesitated, his lips trembling.

Seeing his appearance, Sanqiao knew that he was afraid to go out, but what he was about to do could not be seen by the orcs.

Therefore, he glared fiercely at Luce and adopted the authority of a clan leader: "Why aren't you getting out!"
