Toad Orc with Eight-Star Pattern
The next morning, just as Fu Ying propped herself up and sat up from the bamboo bed, she heard Bai Cang's hoarse and lingering voice: "Are you planning to sneak away, A Ying?"
Fu Ying looked back at Bai Cang. His silver hair was like a waterfall, and the morning light gave his handsome features a golden edge.
She blinked her long eyelashes slightly, and the corners of her lips curved up cunningly: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Bai Cang frowned, a hint of sharpness on her lazy and beautiful face: "You are pregnant now. Even if you don't let us go, Danyue has to come with you. If anything happens along the way, you can ask him to handle it."
Fu Ying gathered her scattered black hair and chuckled, "Alright, I know my limits. Remember what I told you."
This time she went not only to find medicine for Wu, but also to find a place for retirement with beautiful mountains and rivers. With advance planning, half of the task was already completed, and it wouldn't be long before she could retire completely.
Once everything is settled, she will be able to enjoy her retirement life, planting flowers and tending grass, and watching the clouds roll by.
Bai Cang was silent for a long time, then suddenly reached out and pulled her back into his arms, his slender fingers gently clasping her waist, and said seriously: "Promise me that you will go and come back early, and don't let me worry."
"Okay." Fu Ying put her arm around his waist and chuckled, "I'll leave the house to you."
Bai Cang said nothing, but tightened his arms, rested his chin on her hair, and breathed heavily. Sensing his uneasiness, she helped Ying raise his head and kissed him on the chin.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly, with a slight coolness.
When they left, the Black Crocodile Swamp was still shrouded in mist. Fu Ying tiptoed away without disturbing anyone.
Behind her, only a slender figure remained standing by the swamp, until her back completely disappeared in the mist.

Fu Ying tied up her long hair neatly, and a light sportswear outlined her slender waist. She raised her hand and touched her slightly bulging belly, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and then jumped up, and then shuttled through the dense forest like a jumping fox.
The wasteland of the Orc Continent is like an unopened treasure box, rich in resources and full of rare treasures, but few people can recognize the treasures.
This time, I came to the right place.
Fuying headed eastward. When he felt tired, he would find a sheltered place, take out a soft bed, do some magic, and have a comfortable sleep. When he woke up, he would eat and drink well and continue on his journey. He passed through deep mountain ravines, jungle streams, and cliffs, and did not miss a single place.
What's strange is that in the wilderness that should have been full of dangers, there were no powerful wild beasts encountered along the way.
Fu Ying stopped and looked back at the deep jungle. The shadows of the trees were swaying, as if countless eyes were staring at her.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, turned around and continued walking without thinking too much.
The journey was fruitful, and there were already a lot of various precious elixirs in Fuying's space, but there were still two kinds of medicines needed to reshape the star pattern of Wu. These two kinds of elixirs liked dampness and were mostly grown beside clear springs in secluded streams.
Fu Ying thought to himself that he would have to live near water for the next period of time.
The morning dew rolled among the grass leaves, and the water vapor from the mountain stream wet her shoes and socks.
Sometimes she bent down to push aside the dense ferns, and sometimes she walked barefoot into the stream, unwilling to miss any corner.
Half a month passed in a flash.
One day, Fu Ying was walking upstream along a stream when he suddenly saw a gap between the cliffs in front of him. Hidden in the moss-covered stone wall was a natural doorway as high as a person. Vines hung down like curtains, swaying gently in the wind.
She raised her eyebrows and a hint of eagerness appeared at the corners of her lips.
If this place were placed in the world of immortals and heroes, it would definitely be a place where opportunities are hidden.
However, before she could enter, she heard a hoarse, sinister laugh: "Female?"
Fu Ying looked in the direction of the sound.
A huge toad's head emerged from the deep pool of the stream. Its blue-gray skin was covered with pimples and rashes, and it shone wetly and greasy in the sunlight, looking a bit disgusting.
But there is an eight-star pattern on the center of its forehead, with light flowing and shining brightly.
“Crash—”
Water splashed everywhere and the toad jumped out of the stream!
When the mist dissipated, a slender young male orc was standing on the shore, with long wet dark green hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyebrows and eyes were surprisingly handsome.
Fu Ying was slightly surprised. The males in the Orc Continent were indeed blessed with natural talents. Even a toad looked so good when it transformed into a human.
Moreover, he was able to achieve the Eight Star Mark at this age, which shows that he has excellent talent.
The Toad Orc tilted his head to look at her, his pupils slightly constricted, revealing an ambiguous smile: "Pregnant female, why are you alone?"
Fu Ying glanced at him and then looked away, ignoring his attempt to talk and continued walking towards the doorway.
"Stop!" The toad orc's face darkened.
He suddenly opened his mouth, and a long, soft, scarlet tongue shot out, carrying a sticky liquid and wrapping around Fu Ying's waist!
Fu Ying half-closed his eyes, and just as a sharp light condensed at his fingertips, a fierce gust of wind came whistling!
A golden light with a sharp aura slashed straight at the toad orc's long tongue!
The toad orc's pupils suddenly locked, and he leaned back abruptly, leaving a bloody mark on the tip of his tongue from the golden blade.
He felt pain, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted angrily: "Who! Get out here—"
The next moment, a tall figure stood in front of Fu Ying.
The man who came was tall and straight, with golden hair like the scorching sun. His half-naked upper body had distinct muscles and smooth lines, and the feathered animal skin wrapped around his waist was dazzling.
"Yu Li?" Fu Ying raised the corner of his eye and called out, but he didn't look too surprised.
She knew that there was someone following her secretly, always helping her solve the troubles hidden in the dark.
At first, she thought that the male in the house was dishonest and tried to shake off this "tail", but she found that this man was like a dog-skin plaster. No matter how she turned and turned, he could always stay behind her and she couldn't shake him off.
The only person who could chase him so closely was Wu, a Golden Eagle orc. However, Wu's star pattern was broken and he could not transform into a beast. So it was clear who was following him but not daring to show up.
Yu Li had his back to her, his shoulder blades sharp under his golden hair, and his gilded eyes full of vigilance.
It was not difficult to drive away the wild beasts along the way, but the toad orc who suddenly appeared in front of him was a genuine eight-star pattern orc. He only had a seven-star pattern now, so his chances of winning against this orc were not high.
Yu Li's back and waist were extremely tense, and a breath rolled out of his throat. He said in a deep voice: "You go first."
Fu Ying raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could say anything, the toad beastman had already started laughing sinisterly.
"Leave? You have only seven star patterns, and you dare to occupy females? Are you provoking me on my territory?"
Before he finished speaking, the toad orc's bones crackled and his skin suddenly swelled up, transforming into a beast.
The giant toad was nearly two meters tall, with rough gray-green skin covered with warts, and one could even smell fishy mucus. Its bulging eyeballs moved strangely, staring at the two people intently.
Yu Li blocked Fu Ying behind him, spread his gilded wings, and shouted, "Go!"
The next moment, golden feathers flew all over the sky, and he had transformed into a huge and majestic golden eagle. With his wings spread out, he covered the sky and the sun. With a sharp cry, he pounced towards the toad orc with his claws as sharp as knives!
