The night was as dark as ink.
The chirping of insects echoed from countless corners.
Lion Feather and Lion Da fled until late at night before finding a cave to hide in.
Shida deliberately erased the traces left on the road.
"Why? Father was perfectly fine just a few days ago, how could he suddenly become like this..."
Lion Feather's eyes were bloodshot. The thought of his father dying in front of him made him feel so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
"It's all my fault. If I had gone back to the tribe sooner, Father wouldn't have been injured!"
His face was filled with self-reproach; he covered his face and couldn't stop crying.
“Young chief, this is not your fault. It was all because Hu Shen relentlessly pursued you, seized your tribe, and took the sacred stone. That's why you…”
Shida comforted him from the side.
Upon hearing Shida's words, Shiling suddenly paused.
He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Shida.
"Who did you just say? Hu Shen, who is he?"
It was only then that he realized the name sounded very familiar.
He never got involved in his father's affairs, and even rejected them, so he didn't know or care who the new Beast King of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain was.
He seemed to have heard that name from Atang.
"Hu Shen is the current Beast King of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the culprit who killed the leader. If he hadn't driven the leader off Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain back then, we should be on Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain right now!"
Shida recounted Hu Shen's "crimes" with righteous indignation.
Lion Feather suddenly remembered that Tiger God was the male who was often by A Tang's side.
A Tang's cub also likes him very much. He seems to like A Tang. Several times when he went to find A Tang, he saw that A Tang and he were very intimate.
He was actually the Beast King of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!
“Little chief, the chief originally told me not to tell you, but now that things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore.”
Shida's heavy voice came one after another in my ears.
"If it weren't for the old Beast King and Hu Shen, the leader wouldn't have raised you outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Everything the leader did was for the little leader."
"They see their leader as a thorn in their side, and the leader can only avoid being wiped out by resisting."
"I just didn't expect him to be so ruthless..."
As Shida spoke, his eyes also reddened.
Lion Feather looked at him, feeling her mind go blank, and said in disbelief:
Why didn't Father tell me?
He had always thought that his father only wanted to become the Beast King, but he never expected that his father did it to protect him.
Yet he never understood his father and even caused his death.
“The leader wants to protect you.” Shida lowered his head, offering no further explanation.
From an angle that Lion Feather couldn't see, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Lion Feather staggered two steps, gritted his teeth, and slowly clenched his fists. "Why, why did you have to kill Father!"
His people, the tribe he grew up in, are all gone now.
Even his only relative, Hu Shen, was to be taken away from him.
He's already the Beast King, why are you still forcing them like this!
“Little leader, there’s one more thing. Ah Tang’s five cubs aren’t actually hers; they belong to the old beast king. She’s been lying to you all along.”
Shida added fuel to the fire in his ear.
"A-Tang is helping Hu Shen raise the old beast king's cubs."
"Those orcs went there to protect the five cubs."
"She didn't come back with us willingly. The chief threatened her with the cubs. The chief didn't want the young chief to be sad for the female, so he did this. I didn't expect her to escape."
Lion Feather stared blankly, "How could this be..."
He collapsed to the ground, a sinister glint gradually appearing in his dazed eyes.
"I have nothing left. I have nothing left."
"It's all because of Hu Shen. He's the one who made me like this. I want to avenge my father!"
"Such a ferocious and bloodthirsty orc is not qualified to be the Beast King!"
...
After watching Lion Sky's corpse being devoured by the wolves, Tiger God returned to the canyon and led the captured lion clan beastmen back to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
These orcs were once stained with the blood of the orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
The old beast king had never mistreated them during his lifetime.
The old Beast King never indiscriminately killed orcs. Even if an orc made a mistake, he would only punish them as a warning.
Hu Shen was different. He handed these lion-kin beastmen over to the beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, allowing those beastmen whose fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters had been killed to take revenge themselves.
An orc only has one chance to strike, but when those lion-orcs died, their bodies were already covered in wounds and riddled with holes.
Hu Shen made all the newly joined beastmen witness this "punishment" firsthand.
From then on, the beastmen on Mount Wanshou who had harbored ill intentions because of the Beast King's kindness never dared to have such thoughts again.
The Beast King is indeed kind-hearted, but only to the orcs who are loyal to him.
In just a few days since Hu Shen returned, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has undergone a complete transformation.
The orcs have fully recovered their former vitality and are no longer plagued by nightmares every night. They have taken revenge for their loved ones with their own hands.
The entire Wanshou Mountain is teeming with life.
Seeing this, Yingjie was the most excited.
"Now that we've dealt with the great threat of Lion Sky, we can finally bring the old Beast King's cubs back to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!"
"That stupid bull should be back with the calf by now, might as well bring him back with us..."
Yingjie couldn't help but smile as he excitedly arrived at Hushen's cave.
He was about to discuss with Wang about bringing the cubs back.
If Wang is willing, he can bring the whole family of that female named A-Tang over.
