Although they successfully recaptured Beast Mountain tonight, many orcs were injured.
Rather than staying in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain waiting for news, it's better to go out and find it yourself.
Niu Li looked shocked. "Ah? But Your Majesty, the situation at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is unstable right now. Aren't you going to stay and take charge?"
The mess left by those traitors, Lion Sky, hasn't been cleaned up yet, so why is the King leaving?
"Lion Sky won't be back for a while, and Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will be fine. I'll come back as soon as I find the cubs." This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision by Tiger God, but rather a well-thought-out one.
After tonight, Lion Sky's side must have suffered heavy casualties as well. They are probably rushing to escape, fearing that Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will wipe them out and they will never be able to return.
"But……"
Before Niu Li could say anything more, Hu Shen had already walked out of the cave and headed down the mountain.
"Your Majesty! Wait for me! Don't leave me behind!" Niu Li exclaimed in alarm and hurriedly followed.
The king's injuries haven't fully healed yet, and he's just gone through a major battle. It would be too dangerous for him to leave the Beast Mountain now without any beastmen by his side!
However, before Niu Li could even step out, he was stopped by the orc next to him.
"Niu Li, you can't leave. What will we do if you leave?"
Niu Li and Ying Jie were Wang's two most capable subordinates. When Wang was away, they listened to Niu Li and Ying Jie.
They dare not stop the king, but they can stop Niu Li.
Niu Li looked anxiously at Hu Shen's retreating figure.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. "You guys go find Yingjie. Isn't Yingjie still in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain? I'm going to find the cubs with the King. Don't follow me!"
The beastmen shook their heads. "Yingjie has been punished by the king and is not allowed to leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. We can only look for you; you cannot leave."
"Wang only said that Yingjie cannot leave Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, but he didn't restrict his freedom on the mountain. If you need anything, just ask Yingjie. That's settled!"
Niu Li shoved them aside, transformed into his beast form, and ran in the direction Hu Shen had left.
While running, I was also feeling lucky. I'm such a smart cow, haha!
Who says the Minotaur orcs are stupid? They're anything but!
Before the beastmen could react, the big ox had already disappeared.
...
in the forest.
A group of lions, covered in blood and as large as elephants, ran wildly in a sorry state.
After an unknown amount of time, the lead lion suddenly collapsed, and the other lions quickly stopped and surrounded it.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has fainted..."
Just as the lead lion was about to fall, it transformed into a middle-aged male covered in blood.
The nearest lion quickly transformed into human form and caught the middle-aged male.
"Cough cough..." The middle-aged man coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Two deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest and shoulder continued to ooze red liquid as his body trembled.
"My King!" The lion-man cried out in anguish as he held him, urgently pleading with the orc beside him, "The Divine Stone! Bring the Divine Stone quickly!"
The lion behind him quickly transformed into human form and hurriedly retrieved two crystal-clear, green, stone-like objects from the blood-stained animal skin bundle, handing them to the lion-man.
"Your Majesty, the divine stone has arrived! Quickly, consume the divine stone..."
In a panic, the lion-man put the divine stone into the middle-aged male's mouth. In no time, the originally hard divine stone melted in the middle-aged male's mouth, like an ice block thrown into a furnace.
The middle-aged man's cloudy eyes instantly regained their clarity, and his injuries began to heal at a visible speed.
A few minutes later, the bleeding stopped and the wound gradually healed and scabbed over.
Seeing this, the lion-man breathed a sigh of relief and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
The middle-aged male was none other than Lion Sky, who had escaped from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts. He had a full beard and a rugged appearance, looking like a wild man who had not yet successfully degenerated.
Upon hearing this, Lion Sky pushed aside the lion-clan beastman beside him and turned to ask, "I'm fine. How many of our divine stones are left?"
"Your Majesty, I just gave you two, and now there's only one left..." the lion-orc replied cautiously.
"What about the casualties among the other orcs?"
"Only half of our people escaped; the rest are all gone. The orcs who did escape are all severely wounded, and they won't be able to hold out much longer if they continue fleeing..."
The lion-clan orcs reported the general situation to Lion Sky.
Lion Sky's face was gloomy, and he was so angry that he almost bit his old yellow teeth to pieces.
"That damned Hu Shen, he got away last time. He was so badly injured, I thought he was going to die. I didn't expect that not only did he not die, but he also came back so quickly."
"How did he suddenly appear at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain? Why didn't I receive any prior notice?"
The lion-man shuddered and quickly bowed his head to reply, "Your Majesty, we have already sent men to guard the entrance to the mountain. They will notify us immediately if there is any situation, but there has been no movement today. I'm afraid they did not come up the mountain from the entrance."
"Not from the entrance to the mountain? When did Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain have other paths to the top? How come I didn't know?" Lion Sky looked bewildered.
This kid is practically his nemesis. With Hu Shen around, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will never truly belong to him.
Hu Shen's injuries were inflicted by his own hands; with such severe injuries, he would not have survived without the Divine Stone.
But he has always guarded the divine stone of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, so it's impossible for Hu Shen to obtain it. How did he recover in such a short time?
Lionhead racked his brains but couldn't figure out the reason.
The lion-like orcs all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
If they had known, they wouldn't have been beaten so badly and fled in disarray.
“Your Majesty, some beastmen in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain say that the Tiger Clan is the true king of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and any other beastmen who try to seize the king's position will be punished by the Beast God. Could this be the Beast God manifesting his power…” one of the lion-clan beastmen stammered.
Such rumors had actually circulated in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain for some time.
When they saw Hu Shen leading the orcs down from the sky, they were terrified. They had only one thought in their minds: the Beast God was also on Hu Shen's side!
Otherwise, how did they find an unprecedented way up the heavily guarded Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?
What else could this be but the manifestation of the Beast God!
"Bullshit!" Lion Sky roared, kicking the lion-clan beastman who had spoken away. "What beast god's manifestation? Tiger God must have used some underhanded methods. Why should only the tiger clan be king? I am the king of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!"
One day, he will take back Mount Ten Thousand Beasts!
He can only be the king of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!
"If you spread such rumors again, I'll kill you first." Lion Sky looked at the orc who spoke with murderous intent.
The other lion-clan orcs felt a wave of fear wash over them and silently retreated, not one of them pleading for him.
Just then, a lion cub ran back from the back of the group.
"Wang, Hu Shen and the others haven't caught up. We're safe for now!"
