Chapter 187 The Morning Sunshine
Xuanmo led a group of Black Serpent Beastmen in a fierce attack against the Black Bear Clan. Their movements were swift and agile, making their moves impossible to discern.
The Black Bear Clan orcs, who were fighting the Wolf Clan orcs, had the upper hand, but no one expected the Black Serpent Clan to suddenly join the battle.
Wherever the black snake went, almost all the Black Bear Clan beastmen were entangled by its body. Already exhausted, they eventually succumbed to their injuries as the snake's fangs tightly gripped their necks.
The wolves watching from the sidelines saw the black bears who were fighting with them just a second ago suddenly become tightly coiled around by the black snake, its body wrapping around them again and again.
They ended up having nowhere to start.
The young wolf-orc stood panting to the side, watching the black snake tribe fiercely deal with one black bear after another.
Seeing the massive force of the Black Serpent Clan pressing in, and the Black Bear Clan showing signs of weakness and on the verge of defeat, the two people on the mountaintop began to panic.
"What do we do now? How did the Black Serpent Clan suddenly appear?" Lie Shi asked anxiously.
"How could I have predicted they would come!" You Liao said, full of frustration. "We had planned everything perfectly, and we were sure we could take down the wolf clan this time, but who knew that such powerful reinforcements would arrive at the last minute..."
Seeing Shu Ning below, a calculating glint flashed in Lie Shi's eyes, and a smirk appeared on his lips: "That black snake leader is her beast husband. If we capture her..."
"Didn't you see her fighting prowess last night? Want to capture her? First, you need to be stronger than her," You Liao said sternly, his brows furrowed. "Otherwise, you're just courting death."
"This..." Lie Shi was speechless after being rebuked. "Then what do you suggest we do? Just watch us get defeated?"
You Liao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Hasn't Crimson Flame Mountain been captured yet?"
"Still no news..." Lie Shi said, a bad feeling rising in his heart. "Yeah, why hasn't there been any news for so long?"
"Logically, with three tribes united, they should have already taken it down by now..."
At this moment, a wounded black bear orc crawled up, panting, and said, "Boss, we can't hold on much longer! They... they're just too strong..."
The orcs in charge of other areas also came up, "Boss, let's retreat quickly, or we'll all be wiped out here!"
Upon hearing this, You Liao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then gave the order: "Retreat!"
"yes!"
Then a bear roar echoed from the mountaintop.
Upon hearing this, the black bear beastmen who were fighting all ran towards the wolf clan's exit.
"Save me..." The severely wounded black bears cried out in despair as they watched their companions flee one by one.
The Black Serpent Clan, caught up in the heat of battle, were stunned when their opponents suddenly fled in unison.
Seeing the black bears about to flee, Xuan Mo exuded a dangerous aura, his eyes flashing with anger as he shouted furiously, "Don't let a single one escape!"
"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the Black Serpent Clan quickly swayed their snake bodies and chased after the Black Bear Clan who were fleeing in panic.
Upon hearing this, the exhausted black bear beastmen ran desperately toward the wolf clan's exit, while the energetic black snake beastmen easily caught up with them.
"Ah—" One scream after another echoed over the wolf clan.
Then another group of orcs fell.
"Awoo~"
As the black bear beastmen fell one by one, the wolf beastmen cheered and let out celebratory howls.
"That was awesome!" Jin Tong exclaimed as he watched the Black Serpent Clan chasing the Black Bear Clan from the treetop.
Shu Ning listened to the cheers of the wolf clan and looked at the fallen beastmen around her, their blood mixing with the river water and flowing into a stream.
The ground was littered with the corpses of both races, some piled on top of each other, some with severed arms and legs, some with open mouths and eyes, all of them dying tragically in this war.
Having personally experienced the cruelty of war and seen their corpses, she felt only desolation. In the end, there were no winners in this war.
"Haha, that was great!" Jin Tong exclaimed excitedly as he jumped down.
They walked up to Xuan Mo and looked at his cold face, his expression completely different from the last time they saw him.
"Xuanmo, you're amazing!" Jintong put his arm around his shoulder and laughed loudly.
"Thanks to you this time." Xuan Lin patted his arm, his expression serious.
“Hmm.” Xuanmo looked at him and replied calmly.
"Not bad, it seems you're already a respectable leader," Han She said, arms crossed.
Xuan Mo walked up to Shu Ning and looked at her, her body covered in blood. Her once fair and clean face was now stained with blood and mud.
His eyes flickered, a complex emotion welling up inside him. He looked at her with heartache, then hugged her tightly, burying his head in her neck. After a moment, he spoke.
"I'm sorry..." he said in a low, hoarse voice, filled with guilt, "I'm late..."
Shu Ning wanted to hug him, but when she reached out, she found that her hands were also dirty, so she just hung there in the air.
He comforted her, saying, "Xuanmo, it's alright. It's already very kind of you to come."
Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 5 points, bringing the total favorability to 97.
"Host, keep going! You have 3 favorability points left. When you complete the first beast husband conquest mission, you will be rewarded with a mysterious gift pack." 007's voice suddenly rang out.
“Yes, Xuanmo, thank goodness you came, otherwise we don’t know how long we would have fought,” Jintong said.
At this moment, the bright red sun slowly rose from the eastern mountains, and the whole earth began to light up.
The light shone on them, half bright and half dark, and the shadows of the tall, aloof, and handsome men were stretched long by the newly risen sun.
The morning was cool, but the river water on the ground made it feel a little chilly.
“It’s dawn…” Han She said meaningfully, looking at the sun that hadn’t yet become too bright.
Xuanmo placed his hand on her shoulder. "Wait for me."
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
Then he turned around and gave some instructions to the black snake beastmen.
Then the Black Serpent Beastmen began to clean up the battlefield.
"We have won!" As the sun rose, all the surviving werewolves cheered and celebrated.
"Are you alright?" Shu Ning looked at them and saw that they were all covered in blood, their clothes torn from the fight, making it impossible to see if they had any wounds.
“It’s alright!” Jin Tong replied.
"And you?" Han She asked.
"I'm fine too." Then, remembering something, Shu Ning asked anxiously, "007, how's Nightmare doing?"
"Host, with the participation of Yi Yuan and their tribe, Yan and his people have already won."
"Were they injured?" Shu Ning asked.
"Yan suffered minor injuries, but Yiyuan is fine."
Hearing the system's reply, Shu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After explaining everything, Xuanmo came over and picked up Shu Ning.
"Let's go take a shower!" Jin Tong said, looking at them.
"You all go first, I need to go see the clan leader," Xuan Lin said.
“Alright, then we’ll head over there first,” Jin Tong said.
Then Xuanmo carried Shu Ning, Han She, and Jin Tong, walking beside him and heading upstream along the river.
"I feel all wet and smelly now, it's really uncomfortable," Jin Tong said, picking up her clothes and sniffing them with disgust.
"Xuanmo, how did you know that the Wolf Clan was under attack by the Black Bear Clan?" Shu Ning asked in confusion.
“Yes, Xuanmo, it happened so suddenly, even we didn’t notice,” Jintong said, remembering.
“Hmm…” Xuanmo’s eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled what happened the night before last.
"Do you still remember what happened the day the Nightmare Returned to the Wolf Clan?"
