Abil: "We took it upon ourselves to recruit wolf beasts on someone else's territory. Although those three are useless now, they allowed Ye Ling into the Yushan tribe when we were in danger. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Randy had given it full consideration. They were still short-handed, and the other kings over there hadn't yet come together. The best approach was to take them down one by one under their pressure.
If they intend to emulate Beast City and establish a new Beast City on the northern continent, then the Yushan forces will be in grave danger.
Randy: "We've been playing defensively by hiding and dodging. It's time to change our strategy. Once word gets out that Arthur and Mickson's rings have dropped, they'll have no choice but to fight. Let's strike first while the outside world doesn't know about this yet."
Abil: "You're the chieftain. If you've really made up your mind, then do it this way. I need to go and inform Monet and Alo first."
Randy: "Okay, tell me my plan. I'll take Simon and Aze, along with the orcs from their Feather Mountain tribe, and we'll make our move tonight."
Abil nodded and quickly left, relaying the message to Monet and Alo, who were currently in charge of the tribe.
…
Randy was on his way back to Yeling's territory to gather his men when he happened to run into the newly arrived female, Linzhi.
I saw her in the park last time. She's a brave and pretty woman, though not as beautiful as Guo Xiaoxiao. She's gentle and demure, the kind of girl who doesn't belong to a wealthy family. She's quite short, like a minor.
Randy wasn't interested in her and was about to walk past her when Linzhi called him back.
"Randy"
She knew his name; she'd spent several days in the tribe figuring out who he was. Randy, the youngest chieftain of the wolf clan, a five-star ringed orc—young and formidable.
"What's up"
Randy's words were cold and devoid of warmth; he didn't even glance at her, answering with his back turned.
Lin Zhi didn't care; he didn't like Randy anyway. He was just here to talk about something serious.
"Arthur and the others are finished, there's no one left. Are you planning to go rescue Guo Xiaoxiao?"
The descent of the star ring was kept a secret from everyone; only those they trusted knew. How did the females find out?
Randy turned his head to the side and glanced at Linzhi out of the corner of his eye.
Who are you?
Lin Zhi: "You don't need to know who I am. I just want to know when you're going to rescue her."
Randy: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. I know you like her, and I'm even more worried about her safety than you are, so I just came to ask."
Randy: "You've only been here a few days. Do you know her, or did you hear about her from someone?"
Linzhi thought for a moment and said, "She and I come from the same place; we're from the same tribe. As members of the same tribe, it's only right that we care about each other."
Randy narrowed his eyes, stared at Lin Zhi for a moment, and, not quite trusting her, turned and left.
"It's none of your business. A female should stay in the cave and not come out; it's too dangerous for her these days."
Lin Zhi watched Randy's departing figure, unable to fathom the depth of Randy's love for Guo Xiaoxiao.
Just to be on the safe side, we'll have to spend a lot of money. The reward for successfully rescuing Guo Xiaoxiao is generous enough, so spending a little more money is no big deal.
A male cloud shadow from Linzhi ran over from afar.
A handsome man, with exquisitely shaped eyebrows and lips, his features so refined they seemed sculpted, his eyes filled with love and concern.
"Xiaozhi, where did you go? I looked everywhere for you, I was so scared!"
Linzhi: "No, I spoke a few words to Randy, but he didn't really pay attention to me. What about you? You went on patrol with them. How's the situation outside now?"
Yunying shook her head: "It's not good. The two of us can't get out of here alone. Besides the Beast King, there are countless fleeing orcs. Their living conditions are harsh, and they are all very irritable, stealing other people's things and seizing territory. They're quickly turning into ferocious wandering orcs."
Lin Zhi sighed, "We can only place our hopes on Randy and the others."
Yun Ying was filled with remorse. He hadn't been able to break through from a three-star ring to a four-star ring; otherwise, he could have taken her away from here.
"It's all my fault for being useless."
Lin Zhi nudged him with her elbow.
"You're here again. I've never looked down on you. Let's work hard together and catch up with those people eventually."
Yunying's eyes dimmed
"Xiao Zhi, you're so good to me. Finding you in this life is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."
Linzhi: "Stop talking. The most urgent thing is to find a way to rescue Guo Xiaoxiao and return to the Southern Hemisphere."
Yunying: "Yes, many days have passed. Ji Xing must be looking for us too."
Thinking about all the mess that had happened recently, Lin Zhi was furious. It was all that dead fish's fault for leading her into the sea, and then a tsunami swept them all away.
Not only were they separated, but they were also swept to the Northern Hemisphere. As soon as they reached the shore, they discovered that the Northern Hemisphere was experiencing a war, and everyone was fleeing famine.
They had been hiding and fleeing with the main group until they reached the Yushan tribe in the north for refuge. Now they are trapped and unable to leave. Unless the dangerous people outside are eliminated, it is not safe for them to stay in the Yushan tribe; they could be attacked at any time.
This planet is isolated by a sea, with no way to reach it.
Lin Zhi and the others were on another continent in the Southern Hemisphere, the Wilderness Continent, while Guo Xiaoxiao was on the Ancient Continent.
Lin Zhi: "Alright, let's go back to the cave first. I'll get some things to defend myself with."
...
Arthur and his companions, already dejected and exhausted, were suffering greatly. Their lack of strength brought not only physical pain but also mental torment.
I can't believe I'm crippled now, and my companions won't be able to return to their previous levels.
It's not a question of whether Guo Xiaoxiao looks down on them or not; it's that she already feels unworthy of them.
With her current star ring and physical condition, even self-preservation is a problem, let alone finding a partner.
Even if they never regretted it, the bloody reality before them was devastating.
Arthur was the most agitated. He lay in the corner and occasionally banged his head against the wall to relieve the pain. His Star Ring was the highest level, and its effect was the strongest when the Beast Mark backlash occurred!
The fact that Arthur didn't break down under double pressure shows how well he held on.
When the pain becomes unbearable, they drink some "Nine-Nine Rejuvenating Water" to feel a little better.
"Arthur, stop whining. The three of us are all the same; none of us are any better off. We're all useless now. Accept reality."
Mikson huddled in another corner, holding the resurrection potion prepared by Guo Xiaoxiao.
Cang Jue sat at the cave entrance, his hands resting on the rock wall, gazing at the distant scenery.
"Leave the rest to Randy. Don't worry about it. Pairing up involves risks. It's the male's incompetence to let the female be taken away. After this is over, go back to what you were doing."
Cang Jue was the only one who could let go of the past. He hadn't expected things to end this way, but he had Guo Xiaoxiao, beautiful memories, and a sense of belonging. That was enough.
He stopped thinking about becoming Guo Xiaoxiao's partner; how could someone with such a physique be worthy of a beautiful woman?
Blood trickled from the corner of Arthur's mouth again, his throat felt like it was on fire, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body.
It started again. The pain intensified, and Arthur, unable to endure it any longer, casually grabbed a small gourd from the corner and drank it all in one gulp.
The pain vanished instantly after drinking it. The Rejuvenating Water could only alleviate the pain, not eliminate it completely. The strange sensation made him feel very comfortable.
