Ji Nuan struggled to get up, but sat down on the grass powerlessly. Blood kept oozing from her legs and arms, making every movement she made extremely difficult.

The sound of sharp-toothed beasts could be heard faintly from the distant woods. A large number of sharp-toothed beasts were gathering here. Songyu the tiger circled around Ji Nuan anxiously, but Ji Nuan was so weak that she couldn't stand up.

I am really useless.

The feeling of powerlessness made Ji Nuan's eyes misty. She bit her lips tightly and tried hard to mobilize her body's strength, but her hands on the ground felt like they were pressing on a sponge and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

"Awooo!" Xiu Yan let out a high-pitched and fierce wolf howl, and changed back into beast form. He inserted one of his beastly wolf claws into the chest of the sharp-toothed beast in front of him, letting the blood stain his arm red.

He took advantage of the moment when the sharp-toothed beast was repelled by the wolf's roar to rush out of the beast group. His slender legs were running no slower than his beastman form. The fur on his beastly arms faded away, and his strong and powerful hands lifted up Ji Nuan, who was still struggling on the ground, and threw her on his shoulders.

"Go!" The voice was cold and low.

The pain in her stomach and the shame of being a hindrance finally brought tears to Ji Nuan's eyes. She was hung upside down on Xiu Yan's shoulders, and her tears fell into the retreating bushes as the orc ran.

Ji Nuan didn’t know how long they had been running. The surrounding scenery was unfamiliar, but the three beastmen seemed to be very familiar with this place. Until they could no longer hear the roar of the sharp-toothed beast behind them, the beasts finally stopped by a river.

Ji Nuan was put down by Xiu Yan, feeling dizzy. When she touched the ground, she realized that her arms and legs were completely numb. She thought she was weak because of fear, but now she found that things were not that simple.

She was instantly panicked. The thumping of her heartbeat hit her eardrums, making her head dizzy. She wondered if she would become paralyzed after falling down.

"Brother Xiu Yan! You are injured!" Ge Ye's scream woke Ji Nuan from her panic. She looked up at the tall orc beside her.

Xiu Yan was leaning against a big tree, his beautiful lips tightly pursed together, his wolf eyes calm and deep, his forehead hidden by his silver hair covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

There was a bloody wound near his elbow, with the skin and flesh turned inside out. Blood dripped down his left arm onto the grass beside Ji Nuan.

Looking at the man's calm face, she was shocked. This male actually carried her for such a long time with an injured arm. Didn't he feel any pain?

Ji Nuan looked at Ge Ye and her two companions.

"Xiao Yezi, please ask Song Yu to take care of me. I can't feel my arms and legs. Brother Xiu Yan is seriously injured. We need to go back to the tribe to find the witch doctor!"

Ge Ye wiped away his tears, bit his lip and climbed onto Di Feng's back: "Shanzi, come sit on Di Feng's back with me, and let Song Yu take care of Brother Xiu Yan!"

"No, I can do it myself." Xiu Yan raised his eyes to glance at Ji Nuan, then turned and walked forward.

Song Yu looked at Ge Ye, and then at the urging of his partner, he transformed into a beastman and carried Ji Nuan on his shoulders.

The beastmen ran very fast, and the injured Xiu Yan was not at all behind.

When the beasts returned to the tribe, the tribesmen were processing their prey. Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan's injuries caused an uproar in the tribe.
