If Mo Bai's older brother is also good-looking, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring along another male.
“Okay.” Ying Tai agreed without hesitation. Now that they had found the way, it wouldn’t be a big deal to send the kid back.
Mo Bai was the sweetest, and he made all the Qingying beastmen happy. When they heard that he was going to be sent back to the tribe, none of them objected.
On the way, Ying Yiyi chatted with Mo Bai in a casual manner.
"Little Mo Bai, how many orcs are in your tribe?"
"Not many, less than a hundred orcs."
"How old is your brother? Does he have a partner?"
"My brother is twenty-seven and still doesn't have a partner..."
Having obtained the information she wanted, Ying Yiyi was quite satisfied. She didn't have high requirements for the male's strength. After all, once they arrived at the Beast Mountain, the Beast King wouldn't let her go hungry or thirsty. When she looked for a new mate in the future, she would still look for someone pleasing to the eye and obedient.
"How much longer until we arrive?" Ying Taifei flew for a while and sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around him.
"Almost there, it's just ahead." Mo Bai pointed ahead, and as far as the eye could see, there was a place completely obscured by dense vegetation, so that nothing could be seen in front of it.
He looked innocent and smiled happily, "My brother will be very happy to see you. In the past, very few orcs were willing to come back to the tribe with me!"
Upon hearing this, the beasts felt a pang of pity for him.
From the conversation, they learned that Mo Bai was a pitiful cub who had lost his parents and was living with his older brother. The orcs in the tribe also treated them badly.
Of course, they wouldn't normally be so overflowing with sympathy.
After all, the law of the jungle was a common occurrence in the ancient continent.
Mo Bai was just sweet-talking and had led them to the right path, so they were a bit more friendly towards him.
"Little Mo Bai, my tribe has a thousand people. If you're willing, you can follow me from now on. I... What is this? Is it raining?"
Just as Ying Yiyi was about to show off her tribe's strength to Mo Bai, a drop of water suddenly landed on her forehead.
She raised her hand and touched it; her fingertips felt sticky, and when she brought it close to her nose, there was a fishy, foul smell.
To help Mo Baihao find his way, they flew through the space between the trees and the ground.
Ying Yiyi subconsciously looked up and saw a dark object blocking her head.
It's a gaping, bloodthirsty maw!
Four sharp fangs, spread open at an eerie angle, like the teeth of a vampire. Thick liquid stretched between the fangs, and the "water droplets" just now were dripping from there.
Ying Yiyi's mind went blank for a moment, and before her body could react, a sharp, piercing scream instinctively burst from her mouth.
"Ahhh..."
"Brother! Up, up there!!"
Ying Yiyi wanted to call Ying Tai, but found that she couldn't say a complete sentence at all, and could only keep patting Ying Tai.
"Yiyi, what's wrong? What's up there?" Ying Tai, unaware of the impending danger, looked up in confusion upon hearing Ying Yiyi's voice.
With his mouth slightly open, by sheer coincidence, the saliva dripping from the giant snake landed in his mouth.
After a two-second silence...
Eagle's pupils dilated. "Run! Everyone, run!"
This is no ordinary snake. When its body stands upright, it can even be taller than a tree. Its enormous size means that a beastman wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth. To be precise, this snake is a python!
The other Azure Eagle Orcs also noticed the giant python's presence, their expressions filled with terror as they sped forward.
"How could there be such a huge python here!"
"Damn it, it's the biggest python I've ever seen, bigger than the wild beasts deep in the forest."
"It's so fast! Oh no, it's catching up..."
As the last sound faded, the giant python caught up with the group, opened its abyssal maw, and swallowed the last two Azure Eagle Beastmen whole.
The other Azure Eagle Beastmen turned pale instantly upon seeing this, and then flew with all their might.
"Brother, what should we do? It...it ate the beastmen!" Ying Yiyi's lips trembled with fear when she saw what was happening behind her.
Ying Tai also looked grim, and flew ahead with Ying Yiyi.
"Don't be afraid, Yiyi, your brother will not let anything happen to you."
He gritted his teeth, his wings practically sparking, completely ignoring the Azure Eagle Beastman behind him.
Those males' lives are not as important as his Yiyi's.
As it spoke, the giant python roared a few more times and swallowed several more Azure Eagle Beastmen.
Even as it swallowed, one could hear the terrified screams of the orcs inside the giant python's mouth and stomach, the sounds gradually descending down the python's esophagus.
Soon, the group of Azure Eagle Beastmen was reduced to only Ying Tai and Ying Yiyi, and the last two Azure Eagle Beastmen.
One of them, carrying Mo Bai, was also desperately trying to escape.
"Mo Bai, what's going on? How can there be such a huge python here!" Ying Tai roared angrily as he flew.
Mo Bai looked completely innocent, but also panicked. "I don't know either. It must have been an earthquake that caused wild beasts to come out from deep in the forest. Our tribe is right next to the forest..."
The giant python behind them had eaten several Azure Eagle Beastmen in one go, and seemed to be full, so it slowed down and stopped chasing them.
Yingtai, oblivious to this, asked with a dark expression, "So what do we do now! Which way do we go? Where exactly is your tribe?"
This giant python is going to eat orcs, and it will be full sooner or later. Let's hide in this kid's tribe for now and let the orcs there hold us off for a while.
As for whether the other party lives or dies, that's completely outside Ying Tai's consideration.
“My tribe… I’m afraid it has been destroyed by this python. I sensed my brother’s presence on it. My people have probably all been eaten by it…” Mo Bai turned back to look at the giant python, his eyes suddenly turning red.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here. You should have left..."
His face was full of guilt, and his eyes were red and swollen, making it hard to bear blaming him.
"Damn it! What do we do now?" Eagle Tai's teeth were clenched in fury; he didn't want to be eaten by the giant python.
Mo Bai hurriedly started thinking, and soon he had a flash of inspiration, "I've got it, let's go back, there was a big river just now, most snakes are afraid of water, maybe it won't chase us after we cross the river."
Upon hearing this, Ying Tai ordered the other two Azure Eagle Beastmen to turn around without hesitation.
The giant python, having eaten its fill, was somewhat sluggish, allowing them to fly over with ease.
Soon, Ying Tai returned to the river he had come from. He crossed the river without looking back, the rushing water making a loud noise behind him.
"Brother, it...it stopped! It didn't chase after us!" Ying Yiyi turned around and saw the giant python standing far away on the opposite bank of the river, its green eyes seemingly glowing, which sent chills down her spine.
The thought that several of her people were inside the python's belly made Ying Yiyi even more frightened.
When Ying Tai saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not relax and continued to flee forward.
Who knows if that python will suddenly chase after us?
