The orcish caravan marched westward across the vast wilderness.
The route from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to the Great Wilderness Plain involves traversing a forest.
The depths of the forest hold countless unknown risks. When Lin Shanyue and his companions came from the west, they took a long detour that lasted for more than half a month.
Even humans know that the depths of the forest are off-limits.
Su Tang, Hu Shen, and the others naturally had to take a detour, walking along the edge of the deep forest, which added several days to the journey compared to the straight-line distance.
night.
The orcish group set up camp and rested in the forest.
It's the warm season now, the temperature is pleasant, there's no wind, and it rains little, so the males are too lazy to bring tents. When they rest, they just gather some dry grass and lie down haphazardly on the ground.
Among the group of males, only two females, Su Tang and Lin Shanyue, had tents.
Su Tang wanted to suggest bringing a tent for Su Shiwei as well, but he refused.
Now, seeing him going in and out of Lin Shanyue's tent from time to time, I immediately understood what was going on.
Inside the tent.
Lin Shanyue sat on the animal skin, took off her outer clothes and trousers, and only dared to show her pained expression under the cover of the tent.
Her once fair and tender thighs were now covered in red marks, and in some places, blood was even seeping out.
Lin Shanyue quickly washed the wound with water. She had to travel during the day, so she only had time at night to allow the wound to heal.
But once the scab forms at night, the wound will bleed again the next day. Just thinking about having to go through this cycle again and again makes her gasp.
Who would have thought that traveling with the beastmen would be such an easy task?
She could barely bear it a few days ago, but as time went on, her thighs chafed more and more as she rode on the leopard's back.
"No, if this continues, I'll have to tie my legs up. I can't be a burden to everyone." Lin Shanyue looked at her legs and gritted her teeth.
Just as she was about to tear the animal hide into strips to prepare, Su Tang's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Shanyue, may I come in?"
Lin Shanyue was startled and quickly pulled her blood-stained clothes together, using animal hide to cover her lower body along with the clothes.
"Yes, you can come in."
After doing all that, she nervously called out to the outside of the tent.
Su Tang bent down and walked into the tent, where she saw Lin Shanyue sitting on the ground, covered in sweat and pale-faced.
Thinking about what Su Shiwei had just said, she immediately understood what was going on.
"A-Tang, why are you here so late? Did something happen on the way?" Lin Shanyue forced a smile and asked.
Seeing her forced expression, Su Tang felt helpless and stepped forward to take out the medicine jar.
"Everything's fine outside. I've come to bring you your medicine."
"Medicine? What medicine?" Lin Shanyue feigned ignorance and asked in confusion, "Are any orcs in the group injured?"
Su Tang glanced at her covered legs. "We're both females. You're still trying to hide it from me?"
"A-Tang, I..."
Seeing that Su Tang had already figured it out, Lin Shanyue lowered her head in shame.
"We're all females. Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well on the way? How are you going to make it to the Great Wilderness Plains like this? We still need you to guide us through the human race!"
As Su Tang spoke, she sat down next to her and handed her the medicine bottle.
"This is pain reliever. Apply it in a bit and you'll be able to sleep well tonight. Don't try to tough it out if you feel unwell in the future."
"I... I didn't push myself. I walked all the way to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain before, so this little injury is nothing. I can still make my way tomorrow," Lin Shanyue explained, blushing.
Even though Atang is younger than her, she feels more childish than Atang in front of her.
In Ah Tang's eyes, her thoughts seemed like a child's game.
Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Su Tang reached out and lifted a corner of the animal skin.
A small patch of blood-red skin was exposed, and the wound on it had been rubbed open several times after it had scabbed over, making it look shocking.
"You call this a minor injury? Don't you want your leg anymore?" Su Tang said helplessly.
If her brother hadn't told her today that he smelled blood on Lin Shanyue, she wouldn't have noticed that Lin Shanyue hadn't shown any unusual behavior during the day.
My brother was worried, so he asked her to come and check on me.
She immediately thought it might be the chafing on her thigh.
Humans are naturally fair-skinned and delicate, while orcs' fur may appear soft, but they are actually tough and thick-skinned. After several days of riding, Lin Shanyue, who had never ridden before, would be surprised if she didn't get any scratches.
His own body had probably been riding on the back of beasts since childhood, and his long journeys were not as severe as Lin Shanyue's.
That's why she overlooked this point.
"Then tomorrow..." Lin Shanyue tentatively began.
"Apply the medicine and get some rest so you can continue your journey tomorrow," Su Tang said.
So... you won't delay everyone's journey because of me?
Lin Shanyue nodded gratefully, "Yes! I'll definitely be fully recovered by tomorrow, Don't worry, Atang."
Holding the medicine jar, she said, "Thank you, Tang, for bringing me medicine all the way here."
If it weren't for A-Tang's help when she was in the Beast Mountain, she might have been imprisoned by the other beastmen, and she might not even be alive.
"You hid it so well during the day, I couldn't tell you were injured."
Su Tang smiled meaningfully and left the tent.
Lin Shanyue was stunned as she watched Su Tang's retreating figure.
It wasn't Atang who discovered it? Then who was it?
Thinking back on these past few days, he realized that he had spent the most time with Su Shiwei, who had been leading the way for him.
The other orcs ran even more bumpily than Su Shiwei, and she simply couldn't stand it.
