Outside the house, it was so quiet that one could hear the rustling of snowflakes hitting the roof. Chen Shuyi gently tugged at the corner of Bai Ze's clothes with his fingertips. His voice was low, but with a firmness that could not be ignored: "The wolf tribe is coming."
Bai Ze held her slightly cool fingertips with his backhand, the temperature of his palm was surprisingly hot, his ice-blue eyes shone in the dim light like cold stars, "Tutu, you stay here, I'll be back soon."
"You must come back safely." Shen Shuyi looked up at him, her eyelashes seemed to be covered with fine snow. "I told you a long time ago that the hungry wolves of the wolf tribe have been eyeing the salt field for a long time."
"Su Yingying instigated the Canglang to launch a surprise attack because she thought the Dongtian tribe was weak. But they were wrong. The orcs of our Tiger Tribe are very tough."
So long before Su Yingying instigated Canglang to attack the Tiger Tribe, she and Bai Ze had arranged the offensive and defensive forces.
After all, the fact that the Tiger Tribe has a salt field and a messenger from the Beast God has spread. As time goes by, there will definitely be tribes that covet it and want to invade the Tiger Tribe's territory, seize the messenger, and seize the salt field.
Especially in this severe winter, the beast tribe that lacks food will fight to the death, not to mention the ambitious wolf tribe.
Bai Ze left, but Shen Shuyi didn't sleep. Instead, he changed back into his original form as a little rabbit and chased after him from a distance.
She and System 66 watched the battle in secret. Although she believed in Bai Ze's strength, she couldn't help but secretly check out the situation.
The wolf orcs are particularly brave and ferocious. They are good at group attacks and have very rich combat experience.
Because the orcs of their tribe had already conquered many small tribes. They first refused to trade salt, which weakened the tribes after a winter, and then attacked in early spring, and were always successful.
The cold wind blew snow foam in our faces, and the wolf beastmen rushed over like a black tide, stepping on the snow and howling.
The gray wolf was running in the front. It was a circle larger than ordinary wolves, and its fangs flashed with cold light.
He shouted to boost morale, "Everyone charge!"
"Conquer the Tiger Tribe, and all their territory will be ours!"
"Their saltworks and the beautiful females of their tribe will all belong to us!"
"kill!"
The howling of wolves made the snow rustle, but as soon as they rushed to the entrance of the tribe, they were caught off guard by a tiger that pounced on them.
Bai Ze transformed into a white tiger with a body as agile as lightning. He slapped the wolf in front of him away with one claw, and his ice-blue eyes were full of fierceness.
"You dare to trespass into my tiger tribe's territory and seek death!"
The roars of tigers made the valley buzz, and one tiger after another jumped out from behind the village gate, making the snow crackle under their feet.
The wolves were good at group attacks? But the tigers were already stronger than them, and since Shen Shuyi had already let them conserve their energy, they were all frighteningly brave at this moment.
One tiger after another leaped out of the tribe, the ground shook, dust flew, and the howling and howling of wolves continued.
In just half an hour, the battle was decided.
The wolf beastmen lay in the snow groaning, their fur stained with blood and mud, and they no longer had the arrogance they had just had.
Bai Ze pressed the wolf's neck with one claw, and with a click, the arrogant wolf leader fell silent.
The sound of the tiger's roar resounded throughout the valley. In less than half an hour, the agile beasts pressed the wolves to the ground and rubbed them fiercely.
"roar--"
The tiger's roar was deafening, a signal of victory. Shen Shuyi saw Bai Ze kill Canglang on the spot, and her heart was completely at peace.
She turned around and tried to escape, but was enveloped by a familiar aura. Bai Ze had transformed back into human form at some point and was standing in front of her with a tightly furrowed brow.
"Bunny, why are you here?" He frowned and looked nervous, but when he picked up the little rabbit, his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of breaking it.
In the wind and snow, the door of the tiger tribe slowly opened. The female orcs went out to help clean up the situation. After everything was done, they closed the door and returned to the house to reunite with their family.
Back in the house, Shen Shuyi changed back to human form, threw herself into his arms, and put her cheek on his blood-stained clothes: “Aze, are you hurt?”
She carefully examined it, and when her eyes fell on the dark bloodstain on his waist, her eyes instantly turned red, "There's bleeding here!"
Shen Shuyi took out the medicine box and asked him to take off his shirt and apply the medicine.
Bai Ze let her pull him to sit down, and his ice-blue eyes became more gentle as he watched her carefully clean his wound.
"Don't worry, the injury isn't serious."
Shen Shuyi opened the medicine box and looked at the hideous wound. He glared at him angrily, "It's such a big cut!" There was a lot of blood.
She bit her lip and cleaned his wound. When she sprinkled the powder on him, Bai Ze groaned and her hands trembled. "It hurts, right?"
"A little." Bai Ze held her wrist, his icy blue eyes as soft as melted snow, "Give it a kiss, and it won't hurt."
Shen Shuyi ignored him and concentrated on applying medicine to stop the bleeding, "Aze, I gave the medicine to the witch doctor. The witch doctor will treat and bandage the wounds of the injured."
"If you're worried, we'll go check it out later."
She knew that Bai Ze was a patriarch who cared deeply about his people. His people had been through thick and thin with him, and if he didn't go and see them, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
"Okay." Bai Ze nodded. He straightened his back and looked down at his partner's serious expression. His heart softened.
"Rabbit, we've captured a group of wolves. What are you going to do with them?"
"Keep them for work." Her eyes rolled. "We need to build a high wall in front of the mountain gate. Let them move stones. Giving them food is better than killing them. After all, living labor is much more useful than dead wolves."
"We might be attacked again in the future, and our male orcs will have to go into the mountains to hunt. It would be too unsafe for the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children left behind. It would be better to build a high wall in front of the mountain gate so that it is easier to defend."
Bai Ze also agreed, "Cang Lang is dead, they have lost their backbone, so it's okay to keep them."
Shen Shuyi bandaged it and touched the gauze lightly with his fingers, "Does it still hurt?"
"Yeah, it hurts."
Shen Shuyi smiled, “Didn’t you just say that the injury was not serious?”
Bai Ze gently held her in his arms and looked at her lips. "I really need a kiss so it doesn't hurt."
Shen Shuyi's cheeks flushed, and she glared at him angrily, but still pecked the corner of his lips quickly.
Just as she was about to move away, he grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her deeply.
Snowflakes hit the window frame, and the firelight in the house was warm, reflecting the figures of the two people snuggling together.
…
The snow season in Cangyuan Continent lasts for more than three months, and only two months have passed. During these two months, a lot of things have happened in the Tiger Tribe.
First, many wandering orcs joined the Tiger Tribe, settled down here and prepared to open up wasteland and cultivate land next spring.
Secondly, the invading wolf tribe was defeated and sent back a large number of strong laborers.
Although the captured wolf orcs had to dig soil and move stones in the tiger tribe in the heavy snow, they had good food and accommodation, and now they were unwilling to return to the wolf tribe.
They all lamented that the tiger orcs lived a heavenly life, living in warm houses, burning charcoal for warmth, eating delicious food, and having bonfire parties from time to time. Who would want to go back to a cold cave and gnaw on cold, hard frozen meat?
