Guo Xiaoxiao secretly thought things were going badly; if this man really wanted to grab her, she wouldn't even have the strength to resist.
She thought of the skills the system had given him; the healing spell was probably useless, but the Lionheart skill sounded incredibly powerful and might be able to suppress some of the enemy's attacks.
Before Cang Jue could even touch Guo Xiaoxiao, a delicate fragrance filled his nostrils, instantly invigorating him. He had only intended to have some fun, but his luck had been incredibly good; this female's hair had cleared...
Taking advantage of Cang Jue's brief moment of distraction, Guo Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to stand up and run towards the cave entrance.
"Hmph! Little female, why are you running?"
Cang Jue snorted coldly and quickly gave chase. He was much faster than Guo Xiaoxiao and caught up with her in the blink of an eye.
Guo Xiaoxiao glared at Cang Jue, suppressing her fear.
"I'm not going with you, give up."
"Oh"
Cang Jue chuckled lightly.
"As if you could escape."
As he spoke, Cang Jue reached out and stroked Guo Xiaoxiao's face, feeling the soft, smooth skin beneath his hand. He couldn't resist lowering his head and kissing her on the corner of her lips before looking up at Guo Xiaoxiao and saying...
"Come with me. You don't have the mark of a mating bond. It would be better to have a stronger male by your side."
"What?"
Guo Xiaoxiao stood there, stunned, staring at Cang Jue.
"Once I bring you back to my tribe, we will become mates."
"..." Guo Xiaoxiao was completely baffled by the situation. Why were the orcs thinking about nothing but forming mates with females?
"Little one, come with me, and I promise I'll make you happy."
Cang Jue was about to lean down and kiss her again, his face frivolous, as if he were making fun of her.
Guo Xiaoxiao avoided
No, I don't want to.
Cang Jue shrugged, unconcerned. He figured they could build a relationship later; he needed to bring her back first and couldn't waste any more time.
Cang Jue was about to transform into his original beast form and take Guo Xiaoxiao directly back to the tribe.
It happened in the blink of an eye
Who are you?
Another voice rang out, and Guo Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, thinking that Mickson had returned.
Cang Jue frowned, clearly displeased. He turned his head and saw a male orc, but not Mikeson.
Through the crack, Guo Xiaoxiao could clearly see who had come.
Sam?!
Why is this child here too?
Cang Jue sized up the orc who had suddenly barged in. Although still young, he had already displayed a powerful presence. Judging from his height and build, the boy was not yet an adult, and his handsome features were already filled with anger.
Why are you bullying her?
Sam questioned Cang Jue, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. However, due to poor visibility in the dark, he failed to realize that Cang Jue was not from their tribe.
"Her? She's my prey. And who are you?"
Cang asked disdainfully, "This little brat isn't even qualified to be my food, how dare he question me?"
"I'm warning you, get out of here right now, or I won't be so polite!"
Sam, without further ado, extended his sharp claws and attacked Cang Jue.
Cang Jue dodged, then struck Sam's chest with a full-force palm strike, enough to repel Sam.
Sam was sent flying and crashed into a large tree. He lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Surprised, Guo Xiaoxiao became concerned about Sam's condition; she didn't want the boy to die trying to save her.
"Samo, are you alright? Don't worry about me, run and find Mickson!"
Cang Jue said
"We made quite a commotion just now, we need to leave, otherwise we'll be in trouble when those orcs get here."
As he spoke, Cang Jue grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao with one hand and prepared to leave.
"Don't run!"
Sam struggled to his feet. Protecting the females was the duty of every male, even at the cost of his life.
"Let her go!"
"Hmph, you think you can take me!"
Ignoring his injuries, Sam forcibly transformed into his lion form, which was quite large, though smaller than Miksen and the other adult orcs.
"Awoo~"
The lion's roar shook the surrounding vegetation; the many people in the pineapple had already noticed something was wrong.
Cang Jue released Guo Xiaoxiao, and his gaze towards Sam became much more serious.
He also underwent bestial transformation, but the two are different.
He transformed into a gigantic eagle-beast, circling in the air, a dark mass looming overhead as if an impending storm was brewing. Moreover, he flapped his wings in mid-air, creating a terrifying howling wind around him.
Sam made a deep sound in his throat.
"You are from the Sishui tribe."
The commotion of preparing for battle was so great that it alerted many orcs who gathered there. Miksen, who was taking a shower, also heard the noise, but because he had his head submerged in the water, he hadn't noticed anything.
Cang Jue was extremely displeased and considered whether to take Guo Xiaoxiao with him, as it would be troublesome once the beastmen arrived.
Before he could even think, his keen eyes spotted Mikexon in his beast form charging towards him.
Guo Xiaoxiao decided to retreat to a corner of the cave to hide, as his enormous eagle-beast form made it impossible for him to enter the cave.
Cang Jue stopped wavering and said a sentence
"This female will be mine sooner or later."
Then it flapped its wings and flew into the distance. The eagle flew over the head of the approaching male. Mickson looked up at the flying figure; he sensed Guo Xiaoxiao's presence but not her. He impatiently increased his speed.
He ran wildly to the cave and rushed inside, ignoring the trembling Sam beside him.
Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao sitting disheveled on the ground, he was enraged. He had been careless and even forgot to wear his animal skin before charging forward.
Xiaoxiao
Mickelson called to her and pulled her into his arms.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you? Are you hurt? Where does it hurt?"
Xiaoxiao
Mickelson anxiously examined her entire body, looking her over carefully to see if she was injured. Thankfully, there were no wounds, just a bit cold.
"I'm fine, thank you."
Guo Xiaoxiao nestled in Mickson's arms; his familiar scent brought her peace of mind.
Mickelson quickly laid her down and covered her with a fur blanket. He turned to look at Sam, who was still lying on the ground coughing, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Sam?"
Sam clutched his chest and nodded with difficulty.
"Mickelson"
Sam's voice sounded pained. Miksen noticed something was wrong and knelt down to examine him. When he discovered that Sam's internal organs were ruptured, his expression turned grave. In the beast world, at this stage, it would be very difficult to cure.
"Sam, what's wrong?"
Guo Xiaoxiao, also worried, ran over to Sam's side. The boy had been slapped by the bad man while protecting her.
"It's alright, you'll be fine after a rest."
Sam struggled to lift his head, looking very badly injured. Guo Xiaoxiao didn't believe it at all; he was vomiting blood, clearly suffering from internal injuries. She said...
"You're lying to me. How could I be alright? Are you okay?"
Mickelson frowned upon seeing Sam's injuries.
"I'll take him for treatment. Xiaoxiao, you rest first. I'll have Mikel come over."
"No," Guo Xiaoxiao grabbed Mikeson's arm, not even noticing that Mikeson was still naked, and said with great concern.
I'll go with you.
"Xiaoxiao..."
Mickelson wanted her to obey, but Guo Xiaoxiao firmly said...
"I don't want to stay."
