Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Yingjie, who had been waiting for Wang's return in vain, began to doubt his own existence.
"Didn't you say that sending out the female king would guarantee her return? Why hasn't the king returned after so long?"
Yingjie rubbed his temples and asked his subordinates, looking exhausted.
Several months have passed since the king left the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
If the king doesn't return soon, the other beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will start to complain.
What kind of beast king is always away from his own territory, running off to other tribes?
Mount Ten Thousand Beasts is a gathering place for all beasts. Each beast race chooses to submit because of the powerful Beast King. If the Beast King is not present, it is inevitable that some beastmen will harbor rebellious thoughts over time.
Lion Sky is a good example.
Yingjie was extremely worried.
“This…this shouldn’t be the case. We sent out the females who are best at raising cubs. With them there, they will definitely be able to bring the cubs back.”
His subordinates were also completely baffled.
"Eagle Swift, there's movement in the canyon where Lion Sky is located."
An eagle-clan orc folded his wings and hurriedly ran in.
"There have been more lion-kin beastmen coming and going in the canyon these past few days than before. Several groups of beastmen are frequently going in and out, supposedly because they have found the beastmen they are looking for."
Ying Jie's already worried expression became even more serious.
They finally managed to reclaim Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain; if Lion Sky finds help first, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
"No, even if I'm severely punished by the king, I will personally go and invite him back this time!"
Ying Jie gritted his teeth and ordered his men, "You all stay in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and do not let any beastmen know that I have left."
"yes!"
In the small courtyard outside the wooden house.
Su Guodong was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night. He even neglected his crops, which he was most worried about, and stayed at the gate of the yard from morning to night, running out to check at the slightest sign of trouble.
In comparison, Lin Xia was much calmer and was even able to sit in the yard spinning thread.
The four kittens stopped going out to play and sat with Xiao Fu outside the courtyard gate, lined up in a row, eagerly waiting.
"Hey, can you sit down? You're making me dizzy. With Xiao Shen here, Tangtang will definitely come back safely." Lin Xia couldn't stand it anymore, so she put down the thread in her hand and glared at Su Guodong at the door.
Su Guodong glanced at the thread in her hand and muttered to himself:
"And you're one to talk! Your thread is practically twisted into a rope..."
What are you muttering about?
Su Guodong dared not say such a thing in front of Lin Xia, and quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."
Just then, Daqing flew back from the direction of the forest.
"A-Tang is back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xia, who had been calm just moments before, immediately dropped the rope-thick line and rushed out like a gust of wind.
"Where are they? Are Tangtang and Hushen injured?"
Su Guodong: "..."
The four listless kittens jumped up instantly and ran out after them.
"Sister is back! I'll go tell my eldest brother!" Xiao Fu immediately went to tell Su Shiwei, who was still working with the orcs.
Su Tang sat on the tiger's back, her upper body leaning forward, and she had to stretch out her arms to grab the tiger's fur to barely keep herself from falling off.
At first, I wasn't used to it. My body was stiff, and I always felt like I was going to fall down at any moment.
After all, not every human being has the opportunity to ride a tiger.
In order not to slow down the team, I could only hold on tightly to Tiger Hair and not let go. After getting used to it, I actually found the feeling of running wildly in the forest quite exciting.
Eventually, they were even able to sit up and enjoy the forest scenery rushing past them.
A group of orcs ran swiftly through the jungle, appearing as tiny as a line of ants.
Soon, Su Tang saw a large, oval-shaped rock standing in a clearing on a grassy field.
Those were stones that my eldest brother, Su Shiwei, moved over.
Originally, I intended to carve words on it, but the kittens used lime powder to imprint their paw prints on it, which became the marker of their territory.
"Meow!" Upon seeing the familiar place, Wubao, who had been struggling to keep up with the group, let out an excited meow.
"Tangtang!" Upon seeing Su Tang return, Lin Xia and her family, who were the first to arrive, came out to greet her with joyful faces.
"Mother, my son!"
Hu Shen stopped on the grass, and before he could bend down, Su Tang jumped off his back.
Four fluffy white figures pounced on her in an instant. Su Tang, who was crouching down, was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.
"Meow~"
The four kittens excitedly rubbed their noses against their mother's face.
The soft, fluffy texture made Su Tang feel as if she wasn't lying on the grass, but rather falling into a large, open space.
"Alright, alright, Mother is back. I'm sorry to have worried you children. It's all my fault."
Su Tang gently rubbed each of their big heads, comforting them repeatedly.
"Ah Tang, it's so good to see you're alright. Your uncle and aunt were so worried." Da Qing and Lin Xia and her husband caught up.
Seeing that their daughter was alright, the two elders looked at Hu Shen, who had transformed into human form.
Even Su Guodong took a few more careful glances, and only felt relieved when he saw that Hu Shen was not injured.
The orcs in the group were only a little tired, but all were unharmed.
Quartz and the other females also curiously looked over, wanting to see what their future home would look like.
They didn't have high hopes, only thinking that the orcs here shouldn't be as ferocious and terrifying as the insectoid orcs.
But to everyone's surprise, the females were stunned when they looked up.
Behind the open space stood rows of neat, uniform white houses. As the group returned, strong males and voluptuous females came out to greet them.
The orcs here have ruddy complexions and strong physiques; even the females are taller than the males of their former tribes.
They look like they never lack food or drink.
Beyond that was an endless green plain, where what seemed to grow were not grass, but all sorts of fruits they had never seen before!
Wow! This tribe has such abundant resources!
They had never seen such a large area of fruit growing together, each fruit large and plump. No wonder the beastmen here were so strong.
The females were filled with shock.
Such a tribe is simply a paradise.
Lin Xia also noticed a group of unfamiliar females at the back of the group. "Tangtang, who are they?"
Su Tang stood up from among the cubs, wiped her face which the cubs had secretly licked, and explained, "Mother, they are all females who were captured and have nowhere to go, so I brought them back."
"So many?" Lin Xia looked at the dense group of females in front of her.
Although they were all skin and bones, and looked pale and thin, she glanced at them and realized there must be at least several dozen females!
She's never seen so many females since she arrived on the ancient continent!
"They're all pitiful bastards. Did you deal with the orcs you captured? Will they come back again?" Lin Xia said, reaching for her weapon.
She saw it clearly; there wasn't a single male among these females.
They all had blank stares and empty, lifeless eyes; they looked utterly pitiful.
Their entire clan was either wiped out or they were captured and tortured for a long time. If it weren't for Hu Shen, her daughter would probably have suffered as well.
