As soon as Xuan Feng left the cave, he was spotted by the black snake outside.
He only appeared after the man had walked away, smiling as he asked, "Brother, where's the blue crystal?"
Xuan Feng took it out and tossed it to him, smiling slightly: "I'm not the kind of person who breaks his promises."
Seeing that he was so generous and gave it to her so easily, the black snake felt a little suspicious.
"Aren't you afraid I'll go and complain to that female?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Feng's smile grew even brighter.
"How could that be? Besides, I'll be by her side from now on, so you won't have a chance to complain."
"Hahaha!"
The black snake beastman laughed, but his eyes were full of mockery. Don't think he couldn't see that this little female already had a beast husband.
And there's more than one!
But her beast husbands do not include this lowly wandering beastman in front of her!
As long as I absorb this blue crystal quickly, I can take advantage of his weakness and finish him off!
Then this female is his!
Thinking of this, his eyes were full of calculation: "Then congratulations in advance."
He swallowed the blue crystal in his hand, but as soon as he swallowed it, he realized something was wrong.
An uncontrollable force is running rampant within my body.
A pair of scarlet eyes glared angrily at Xuan Feng, who was still laughing and joking in front of him.
"You, there's something wrong with this blue crystal!"
However, Xuan Feng smiled innocently: "How could that be? This is genuine blue crystal."
He knew, of course, that it was a real blue crystal. What he wanted to say was that the blue crystal had not been cleansed of its demonic energy by the priestess!
The pain in all the meridians throughout my body was unlike anything I'd ever experienced: "I, I, this isn't..."
However, he could no longer say those words. The next moment, the enormous beast body exploded and shattered into pieces!
Xuan Feng glanced at the filth all over the ground and disdainfully shook the dust off his clothes.
He originally thought that if the black snake knew what was good for it, it would have run away long ago, and he would have spared its life.
But he actually dared to come looking for me again, so don't blame me for being impolite!
He would not be lenient and let go of an orc who dared to insult You Ran in front of him!
He had too many concerns back in the Sunset Tribe, but he doesn't have any here.
Every wandering orc has a few lives on their hands; they don't care about taking a few more dirty lives!
They chopped some firewood and hunted two roe deer before packing up and heading back.
As soon as they reached the cave entrance, they saw You Ran huddled inside and exclaimed happily, "I'm back!"
Mu Youran had already heard the footsteps, and when she saw that it was indeed Xuan Feng, she quickly ran over to help him haul firewood.
"Is it safe on the road?"
Xuan Feng: "Yes, it's very safe."
——
"Look, there's blood!"
From the air, Ying Yao immediately spotted the large, conspicuous pool of blood on the snow, along with traces of water-based supernatural abilities.
The three of them could tell at a glance that Lei Yi was in danger. Luo Bai sniffed the air and said with certainty.
"This is Xuanfeng's blood!"
As he spoke, he followed the scent to the rotten animal hide next to the long-extinguished fire.
His pupils contracted slightly in an instant: "There's a sense of tranquility emanating from this!"
Huang Yu and Ying Yao, who were still inspecting the battle scene, immediately ran over, took the hard and poor-quality animal hide, and gently smelled it.
"As expected!"
Ying Yao: "Let's follow this trail of blood!"
Huang Yu clutched the animal hide tightly in her hand, feeling extremely distressed.
You Ran used to find this kind of animal hide uncomfortable even when used to make shoes, but she never expected to use it to keep warm.
It's easy to imagine how unhappy she was.
The bloodstains on the ground were almost completely covered by the snow; they had to get there quickly.
Soon, they found a large number of snake-like animal carcasses in the forest, their deaths extremely gruesome.
Even Luo Bai, who was used to being hunted, couldn't help but tremble.
"How could this orc have died so tragically?"
Ying Yao examined the body parts and found a snake head: "It belongs to a snake beast."
Only Huang Yu noticed something amiss: "He has demonic energy on him, and there are still remnants of unfused blue crystal power."
"It must have swallowed the unpurified blue crystal."
Luo Bai and Ying Yao couldn't understand how there could be such a stupid orc who would devour an unpurified blue crystal.
But this clue was what they found when they brought Xuanfeng and You Ran here, and they discovered this on the way. Doesn't that mean that You Ran and the others are in danger?
Thinking of this, the three of them felt a chill and quickly continued to follow the trail of blood.
Xuanfeng was roasting roe deer meat in the cave when he suddenly heard strange noises coming from the forest and immediately became alert.
one two three!
The footsteps of three orcs were neither fast nor slow!
He immediately turned to look at You Ran, who was waiting for food nearby: "It's dangerous here, we need to hurry..."
Before he could finish speaking, he swallowed his words and his gaze fell on You Ran's frostbitten toes.
Not only was it dirty, but it was also badly swollen. You Ran leaned against the fire, occasionally rubbing it with her other foot in discomfort.
Even her face was covered in smears, and her hair was a bit messy.
He felt that You Ran was only suffering by following him, and that he was being a little selfish by doing so.
Given Huang Yu, Luo Bai, and Ying Yao's personalities, they will definitely keep searching. So, is he just going to keep hiding with You Ran like this?
Is this how miserable my life will always be?
"Ah, then let's run!"
Upon hearing Xuan Feng's words, Mu Youran jumped up from the ground in fear.
"Then let's run!"
Xuan Feng was injured and was not fit to fight at all. She didn't dare to think about what might happen to him.
Anyway, we're not far from the tribe now. As long as they run fast, they should be able to reach the tribe soon.
However, Xuan Feng lowered his head: "No need."
Because he could already smell the familiar scent—it was from those three orcs.
"Why?"
But Mu Youran didn't know whether Xuan Feng had given up struggling or wanted to fight back.
Xuan Feng was struggling internally, and in his repeated hesitation, he quickly missed the opportunity to escape at the first moment.
Since he can't leave with her alone, perhaps going back is a better option.
At least they won't go hungry one day and full the next, and even washing their face won't be such a luxury.
Thinking of this, he stood up and looked intently at You Ran, who looked completely bewildered.
"You Ran, if you're going to find another partner, could you..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Bai who rushed in.
He shouted excitedly, "You Ran, we've finally found you!"
At this moment, Huang Yu and Ying Yao also came in. They saw that You Ran was covered in dirt, wearing only a thin animal skin skirt, and her hands and feet were frostbitten.
This suddenly reminded Huang Yu of the first time she saw her, and now You Ran seemed even more disheveled and dejected than she had been then.
Even the edges of the animal skin skirt that she made herself were tattered.
