Mo Zhou's expression was indifferent. He pushed off with his heel and suddenly stopped.
The warthog's fissure caught up with him and was about to swallow him whole, but Mo Zhou reached out and pulled the troublesome earth spikes out by the roots.
The earth spikes, influenced by the warthog's atavistic power, look like flexible tentacles, but are actually hard enough to pierce a person.
Mo Zhou braced himself against the ground, his body landing back on the ground. His flowing robe resembled a blooming black lotus, deadly yet flamboyant.
He gripped the earth spikes in his hand and, while they were still hard due to the effects of the atavism, charged toward the warthog.
Mo Zhou was incredibly fast, and the warthog that controlled the land couldn't react at all. Its heavy body barely moved a meter away from its original position when a thorn came straight at it, piercing its mouth, penetrating its thick skin, and piercing through its body.
Without the control of the ancestral power, the cracks in the ground stopped, and the soil spikes softened and became a pile of mud stuck inside the warthog's body.
The next second, Mo Zhou grabbed the warthog's mouth with both hands and used great force to break it off, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Fei Han quickly covered Yu Wanwan's eyes and whispered in her ear, "Don't look."
Yu Wanwan's vision went completely black. Just moments ago, she was shocked by Mo Zhou's terrifying strength, but now all she could hear were gasps of surprise echoing in her ears.
She didn't know what had happened; the referee had already struck the wooden stick again, announcing the end of the match.
Fei Han only released Yu Wanwan after the warthog's carcass was carried away.
At this moment, all that remained on the ground was a large pool of blood, Mo Zhou casually tidying his clothes, and a group of orcs with their mouths agape.
Seeing the pool of blood, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "Was that orc seriously injured? He lost a lot of blood."
The little female's eyes were clear and bright, untouched by any worldly dust. Fei Han pulled her into his arms, preventing her from continuing to watch what was happening offstage, and said gently, "Don't worry, everything's alright."
That warthog orc was not just badly injured, he was gone for good.
Mo Zhou is really something. He clearly knows that the little female is watching from the side, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself and makes the scene so bloody.
Before anyone could react, the referee had to strike the gong again to get everyone's attention.
As expected, the White Tiger Tribe advanced to the next round of the competition.
After all the tribes had finished their first matches, Wangye stepped forward, gave a brief speech, and then arranged for the winning tribes to attend a banquet at the Beast King's Palace three days later.
"Mo Zhou!" Yu Wanwan ran over, excitedly wanting to jump into his arms, but Mo Zhou stopped her.
"Wait, I'm dirty."
When dealing with the warthogs, he was the closest person to them and got splattered with a lot of blood. He had wiped the blood off his face, but he couldn't wash his clothes off on the spot.
Although his clothes were black and couldn't be seen, he didn't want the little female to come into contact with these dirty things.
When the group returned home, Shunfeng greeted them as they parted ways. When facing Mozhou, Yu Wanwan noticed that his expression became more cautious and careful, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief as he turned away.
Her eyes were covered by Fei Han, so she didn't know what was happening, but Shun Feng saw the whole thing.
Although he had fought against the Elephant Clan alongside Mo Zhou before, he had never actually fought alongside him. Now, having witnessed Mo Zhou's strength firsthand, coupled with his gloomy aura unique to cold-blooded beastmen, he became even more fearful of him.
For Yu Wanwan and her friends, the current tasks are to have a meal at the Beast King's Palace in three days and prepare for the upcoming competition. However, for others, there are many more things they can do.
For example, at this moment, one of Nana's partners, Zhu Wen, is searching for something in the outer city.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the hotel he was looking for, and after finding the right room, he knocked on the door.
This was his first time receiving an order, and he had to make sure it was done perfectly.
After a while, the person inside opened the door and looked puzzled when they saw them: "Who are you?"
Zhu Wen smiled slightly and said instead of answering, "You don't need to know who I am. I'm here today to help you."
"help me?"
Zhu Wen nodded: "You were badly beaten by that orc from the White Tiger Tribe today, weren't you? It seems one of your tribesmen even lost his life because of it?"
The room was inhabited by the warthog orcs of today.
Upon hearing Zhu Wen's words, the warthog beastman's face showed sadness: "Yes."
For a tribe like theirs, having a single orc who has reverted to their ancestral form is extremely rare.
The orc who was killed today was already the designated next chieftain. He was just waiting to return from the Beast City to take over the chieftainship. But no one expected that he would lose his life on this trip and never be able to return.
They couldn't just leave their kin here, but the blessing ceremony competition wasn't over yet, so they couldn't leave. Besides, the weather was hot, and the bodies would soon start to rot. They had no choice but to burn their kin's bodies and put the ashes in animal skin bags to take back to the tribe after the competition was over.
Zhu Wen was somewhat agitated, seemingly also indignant on their behalf: "That orc went too far. He didn't kill anyone outright in the previous matches. He was clearly breaking the rules and deliberately targeting you."
Influenced by him, the warthog orc grew increasingly angry, his initial helplessness and sorrow transforming into deep hatred.
