Chapter 603: The First Wave of Insects
Ye Luoxing and the orcs covered and hid the traps they had prepared. The male beasts carried the remaining bamboo and wood, and cleaned up all traces in the forest. The flying beasts carried the females into the sky.
Dong Mu asked the guard beasts: "How many are there? Where are they now?"
The guard beast said, "At the moment, it seems that there are not many of them, probably only about a thousand. They probably smelled the scent of the herd and are moving very fast. After dark, they should be able to enter the forest."
Dong Mu made a prompt decision: "The flying beasts will carry the females and retreat first, and the male beasts will get ready to fight!"
All the flying beasts carrying females flapped their wings and flew towards the mountain. Feng He also planned to evacuate with Ye Luoxing on his back. Ye Luoxing called him to stop and turned back to ask Dong Mu: "Aren't you going to evacuate?"
Dong Mu shook his head: "I am the leader of the chimpanzee tribe. I must stay and fight the enemy together with the tribe's animals."
Ye Luoxing saw Dongmu's responsibility and determination, so she was not in a hurry to retreat either. Instead, Dongmu looked at the male beasts around her and said, "Luoxing, you are not the leader of a tribe, so you don't have to stay here. You are a female, so you should evacuate with them. The herd needs females to survive, and we will need your help later. Thousands of Zergs are not a threat to us, so you should go first."
Dong Mu's gaze around was meaningful. She was probably worried that the high-level male beasts guarding Ye Luoxing would not be obedient.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Luoxing decided not to cause trouble at this moment and nodded: "Okay, then you guys be careful!"
The sky gradually darkened, and the retreating animals watched from the front of the mountain.
Suddenly, another group of flying beasts came over from a distance. Their voices could be heard from a long distance away: "There are more Zerg outside the forest, more than a thousand. It looks like there are at least several thousand. They are densely packed. They were probably attracted by the first group of Zerg that came. They should have entered the forest now. Leader Dongmu is leading the tribe to check the situation..."
"So sudden?" Chiyu raised his eyebrows. He hated these dirty bugs the most.
"It looks like the situation is not good." An elderly leader looked serious, and then she also issued an order in a straightforward manner: "If the insect tide is continuously attracted, there will be chaos here. In order to avoid hurting the females, we must evacuate the females to the sea before the insect tide arrives. Ye Luoxing female, you take them to the seaside!"
"Me?" Ye Luoxing didn't expect that she would give this task to him.
"Well, we believe you." The leader of the thrush tribe looked at the other female leaders before saying this.
"We have to stay with our tribe to fight against the Zerg, so we'll leave the female to you." The leader of the thrush tribe looked at her with trust. Although it was a brief contact, they still believed in their own judgment.
Bei Yan said, "Don't worry, we will send the females to the sea safely."
"In that case, that's great." The leaders smiled with satisfaction. They also trusted the northern beasts, and the north and south have always had friendly relations.
"But..." Ye Luoxing hesitated to speak. She wanted to recover her strength quickly and collect information. She didn't want to retreat to the beach.
Yue Huang actually advised: "Ye Luoxing, we will feel relieved if you retreat with them, otherwise there will be chaos again."
Ye Luoxing turned to him: "What do you mean? Aren't you leaving?"
Yue Huang had already heard the sound of the insect swarm in the distance. He did not hesitate: "I will stay and cover you as you leave."
Ye Luoxing pursed her lips this time, not knowing what to say. She looked at Bei Yan and saw that Bei Yan had already told Lu Lan, "You and Chi Yu will escort her. I will stay with some northern beasts to help them. If there is any situation on the way, send the beasts back to inform me."
"Yeah." Lu Lan nodded without any doubt.
Ye Luoxing was surprised. She glanced at them one by one. Before Liao Yuan could speak, Krolin said, "I'll go to the beach with you."
He obviously didn't plan to stay here. Because he interrupted, Liao Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll stay."
All three groups left orcs behind, while Xilanmon and Krolin accompanied Fenghe and the others to send the females to the beach.
The leaders were worried about the Yan Beast following them. Before they looked at Ye Luoxing, Krolin interrupted them and said, "I will leave most of the orcs behind and will not take all the Yan Beasts to the beach. You can rest assured and don't worry too much~"
When he said the last four words, Krollin raised his lips slightly, seeming to be indifferent to the orcs' worries.
Everything was arranged in this way, and Yuehuang and Beiyan asked them to evacuate the females as soon as possible.
Finally, Ye Luoxing also accepted it. Because of the authority given by several leaders, she raised her hand and shouted, "Retreat!"
The beast herd split into two groups again. Several leaders sent orcs to notify the leader Menqiu in the west, and also sent orcs to notify the flying beast herd in the east. Since the remaining orcs had already evacuated, they all turned back to the daytime forest.
In the first half of the night, the cold wind was howling, making Ye Luoxing's clothes rustle. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that there was a smell of blood in the air.
Lu Lan wrapped her fox tail around her considerately: "Are you cold? The temperature will drop a little closer to the sea."
Liao Yuan did not come along, so Lu Lan naturally took over Liao Yuan's job, being carried by Feng He and sitting next to her.
Ye Luoxing shook her head to indicate that she was fine, but she still couldn't help asking, "Do you smell blood?"
They froze for a long while before Xilan Meng answered, "It's probably that one of the male beasts was injured and hasn't recovered yet."
Crolin then said, "It's normal. You don't have to overthink it."
However, even if they said so, Ye Luoxing still couldn't help but worry. Even Chiyu sniffed carefully and felt that something was wrong.
Because we were on the way to evacuation and didn't see the insect swarm, the matter just passed.
At midnight, Ye Luoxing and the others had already evacuated to the sea. They didn't know what was happening on the other side of the mountain, and no orcs came to inform them. As for the sea, it was also very calm. No sea orcs came to cause trouble in the endless sea. It might be because the orcs did not go deep enough, or it might be because the sea beasts knew the situation on land, so they didn't bother with the land beasts.
At around two o'clock in the night, a team finally flew over from the direction of the mountain.
They were orcs from the White Pheasant Tribe. As soon as they approached, they informed all the beasts, "The attacking insect tide has been completely dealt with. The casualties of each tribe are not heavy. The females can go back. The leaders are handling the follow-up matters."
This sentence made all the orcs on the sea breathe a sigh of relief: "Great, let's go back!"
Ye Luoxing also smiled. She had just told the beastmen to set off, and Feng He had just flown a distance when she turned back to look at a corner of the beast group. She was puzzled and felt uneasy, but there was no suspicious beastmen except a male beast carrying a female beast...
