Orcs possess great explosive power. Seeing that Bru harbored resentment, Guo Zhen feared that if he jumped up and punched her, she wouldn't be able to dodge due to the close distance. Therefore, Guo Zhen stopped attacking; after all, she had already stabbed him once, rendering him incapable of resistance.
Besides, all the males have arrived, so she shouldn't be responsible for what happens next. The mission can be considered successfully completed.
She ran to Lingzhi and Guo Xiaoxiao's side.
"Are you all alright? The males have all arrived; it's safe now."
Guo Xiaoxiao, with Carlos in her arms, turned her head and said, "Thank you, Ah Zhen. The same last time. I really don't know how to repay you."
Guo Zhen: "No need for repayment. The system has already given me the reward. From now on, I should strengthen my training and learn some self-defense techniques so I don't keep getting captured by others. What if I'm caught and there's no way to save you?"
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Okay, I'll run every day from now on."
Do they have skills? It's understandable to think about it, but they're not really that useful. Even with the ability to upgrade and the Lionheart, they still can't withstand the power of the orcs.
Give me a skill, but the storm is a bit of a trap. What if I encounter hardship and get hit by hail or lightning, and I can't outrun it?
This kind of group attack can easily result in friendly fire. I'll talk to the system about it when I have some free time and hope to get some useful information.
"Who are you…"
Carlos sized up Guo Zhen's attire. He recognized her from the cave; she had ridden a strange beast and taken Guo Xiaoxiao away.
He held Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, tightening his grip unintentionally. Was he male or female? Probably female; those legs were so thin, her speech was strange, and what was that thing on her face?
"I remember we met in a cave. Are you a female living in the Southern Hemisphere?"
Guo Zhen: "I guess so. Wherever you think I live, that's where I'm from."
Arthur and the others rushed over, walking right past Blue without giving him a second thought. Blue was ignored and couldn't escape; several leopard beasts stood at the doorway specifically to watch him.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm here, you've suffered so much."
Cang Jue lamented, "It's all my fault for being too weak and failing to protect you. If I could have reached five stars, this wouldn't have happened."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "How can I blame you? You don't have any skills to nullify too many tree spirits. He deliberately wanted to capture us, so it was unavoidable. Cang Jue, don't take it to heart."
Mickelson was annoyed. He was right to blame; before leaving, he confidently said he could protect them, that he was going alone and everything would be fine, but look what happened—they just disappeared! They searched for a whole day and night.
The entire orc tribe of Ian mobilized; thankfully there was a loud bang, otherwise they would still be clueless in the jungle.
"Xiaoxiao, you should scold him. If you're incompetent, don't just stir up trouble. If you want to go out and play later, I'll take you. Don't let Cang Jue come along; he'll only cause trouble."
Cang Jue suddenly lost his temper. Guo Xiaoxiao hadn't even scolded him, yet a male dared to sow discord.
"Hey, you damn lion, don't bring up things you don't want to talk about. You broke through to the next level by dueling with me, so in other words, I'm your benefactor. I'll break through to five stars, no, even if I'm only four stars, I can still beat you."
Mickelson: "You lost someone and you still think you're right? Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake? What's with all the smugness?"
Cang Jue: "Xiao Xiao likes me, so what if she's biased?"
Guo Zhen saw that the two were arguing as if it would never end.
"Hey, um, can we take care of the important business first? What are you going to do about the orcs?"
Miksen and Cangjue ignored Guo Zhen's continued bickering.
Before things calmed down here, they started happening over there too. Ji Xing shoved Qian Ye away.
"You've already taken over Linzhi right away; be careful you don't get thrown back into the water and never come up again."
Mikel: "All she does all day is cling to Linzhi. Do you think she's yours alone?"
Will was the most annoyed. He was the third male in Linzhi, yet his presence seemed to be fading. He was even less noticeable than Mikel, who came from the Northern Hemisphere. It seemed he needed to reverse this trend.
"It doesn't belong to Qianye alone, nor to you, Mikel. I've noticed you've recently risen to four stars, and you're being particularly arrogant."
Mikel retorted, "It's alright, he's young after all. He rose too quickly. In another two years, he'll be just like you and even more arrogant."
Will is 62 this year, almost a full cycle older than Mikel. It's also worth mentioning that in the Beast World, this age is generally considered the age to find a female.
"What did you say? You think you can surpass me? Even in 30 years, it'll be impossible. Forget about it."
Mikel: "That's not necessarily true. I'm still young. In thirty years, I'll have already broken through to the Inverse Star realm."
Ji Xing scoffed, "You must have been dreaming last night and didn't wake up properly. If you can break through to become a Reverse Star, I, Ji Xing, will write my name backwards."
Yunying: "Don't forget about me, I'm about to break through to four stars too."
Ji Xing: "Heh, even if you have another thirty years, you still won't catch up to me. Do you think the Reverse Star Ring can be upgraded whenever it wants?"
Hey, this is never going to end. What about that Blue?
Guo Zhen: "Let's finish this business before showing off our love. There's still that orc standing there who wasn't stabbed to death. Aren't you going to deal with him?"
Lin Zhi urged, "Go and kill him quickly! Look, he's torn my clothes. He wants to mate with both of us!"
These words shocked everyone. Carlos had told Arthur and the others about it first, but they had forgotten about meeting Guo Xiaoxiao.
Both males on either side focused their hatred on Blue, their eyes filled with malice as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.
"Hahaha, come on, you bunch of trash, you'll never kill me!"
Blue laughed wildly, as if he could read everyone's expressions, his eyes revealing contempt.
He must be insane. So many powerful orcs surrounded him, how could they not kill him? Killing him a thousand times wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Arthur: "Stop wasting your breath on him, just cut his head off."
Randy has already used his skill, and Blue's special skill is no longer usable.
Blue points directly to Ji Xing
"Ji Xing, do you still remember me? The orc you abused?"
During those dark days, every morning when he opened his eyes, he was subjected to torture. Eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping were never peaceful; he spent every day being beaten, treated like trash, and no one respected him.
Ji Xing looked blank; he couldn't remember this person. Could it be that he had offended him before?
"We've never met before, and I don't know any orcs who can control plants."
Blue revealed a maniacal laugh.
"Hahaha... You ravaged my tribe, you stole our tribe's females, and now you don't remember anything at all? Have you forgotten?"
Ji Xing was embarrassed. He had committed too many sins in the past to remember them all. Before meeting Lin Zhi, he had a heart that wanted to unify the world, but after finding a place to belong, he felt that fighting and killing every day was not very meaningful, so he stopped.
He said guiltily
