The scene the orcs witnessed from the city walls was almost entirely silent; the carnage was indescribable. The larvae not only burrowed into people's bodies but were even gnawing at their organs.
Guo Xiaoxiao's skill caused the orcs to push and shove each other, trying to escape, resulting in a stampede. Amidst the raging winds, rain, hail, and lightning, a series of deafening roars ensued.
Some orcs pushed and shoved each other, several of them piled on top of each other on the ground, unable to get up, while those behind them wanted to get out quickly, they were almost crushed to death.
Although there were only a few hundred orcs, and not many of them, retreating to the forest behind them wouldn't be difficult. However, in the dim light, no one could see the way. Some reverted to their beast forms, desperately darting forward in their weasel forms.
Irina was alright; after a few shoves, a few stubborn ones still wouldn't budge. Enraged, Irina pulled out her bone knife and slashed one of the orcs' necks. Blood splattered onto her face, fueling her fury.
Irina's actions silenced the remaining orcs, who obediently followed her directions and squeezed their way out.
Irina snorted coldly and led the rest of the people, following the orcs as they surged outwards.
People kept falling along the way, and many more who didn't leave in time died after the larvae burrowed into their bodies...
"Cang Jue, don't block my way, I want to see."
Cang Jue's enormous wings kept Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes hidden, not wanting her to see the hellish scene below the city.
But Guo Xiaoxiao refused to cooperate, and all that could be heard were heart-wrenching screams and countless mixed cries of agony. What on earth was happening?
Cang Jue insisted: "No, you must obey."
"I don't care, I'll peek."
Guo Xiaoxiao wasn't just simply curious about where they were on the trail, or whether they needed to use other skills to boost everyone's abilities.
"you…"
Arthur was firm: "You're not allowed to look."
Pregnant women are not well-suited to watching gory or disturbing scenes.
Flying parasites flew up onto the city wall, and some of the orcs became alert, quickly warning the others to be careful.
"Get away quickly! They're coming! Don't get close to them, or they'll parasitize you!"
The beastmen scattered in all directions, fearing they might unfortunately contract the parasites.
"Hurry up!"
The orcs standing on the city wall also began to panic.
Guo Xiaoxiao grew anxious, but Cang Jue still wouldn't loosen his grip, so she could only urge him impatiently.
Seeing the parasites gathering in ever-growing numbers, Carlos gave the order.
"Cang Jue took Xiao Xiao and flew away."
The system is now open…
[System: Host, you'll still have to rely on me, your cheat code, when it matters most.]
Guo Xiaoxiao: ? ? Then: "A bug flew up, can you help me?"
[System: Don't rush, wait a moment, you will be released from Cang Jue's body.]
…
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't explain to Cang Jue and directly broke free from his embrace.
The enormous eagle, its throat sore, let out a squeak. The other centers all thought Guo Xiaoxiao was just being silly; at this crucial moment, how could she let herself act out?
The orcs on the city wall were pushing and shoving each other. Guo Xiaoxiao hurriedly tried to calm them down, shouting loudly...
"Don't worry, everyone stay calm. I'm here. The Great Shaman will always be with you."
"You've all seen my abilities. These tiny parasites are no match for me. Everyone calm down, stop running! You'll be trampled to death if you're not killed by the parasites."
Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, the orcs all stopped and turned around to look at her.
"Do you have a way to deal with this? What should we do?"
The orcs saw hope.
"Of course, you all step back and leave it to me."
Guo Xiaoxiao gestured for the beastmen to step back. She stood on the city wall. The parasites were still flying slowly towards the wall, their wings wet from the rain, hindering their speed.
Guo Xiaoxiao's skill effect is almost over, lasting only 5 minutes, and the raindrops, hail, and lightning are gradually decreasing in size.
The orcs below, except for those who hadn't escaped, were lying on the ground being eaten by sniper bugs. Guo Xiaoxiao looked down and felt disgusted, but she held back from vomiting.
It was all bloody flesh, gnawed to pieces. The stench of blood wafted up to the city wall, mixed with the smell of rotting flesh, making Guo Xiaoxiao's stomach churn and almost causing her to gag.
Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Xiaoxiao, be careful, don't be reckless."
Arthur was somewhat worried
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
After Guo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the system had prepared the skills and was ready to bestow them upon her.
Suddenly, her body began to glow, and all eyes were fixed on her, hoping to trigger a miracle. The light grew stronger and stronger, and a layer of pale yellow light rose from around Guo Xiaoxiao, enveloping her.
Immediately, Guo Xiaoxiao's field of vision began to change. Suddenly, it was as bright as day, with so much light that Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't open her eyes. She covered her eyes with her hands and slowly opened them after her eyes adjusted to the light.
Guo Xiaoxiao's vision turned white, and dots of light circled around her body.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have acquired the skill "Blessing of Light"]
【Blessing of Light: Summons a holy light to protect all friendly units within its aura, healing them and granting them immunity to all external attacks】
Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't wait any longer and immediately recited the skill name.
A huge, white, transparent light shield enveloped the entire beast city.
Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't see exactly how much it could expand, but she knew that the insects outside hadn't broken through the light shield at all.
The orcs present cheered with joy. Their previous fear and panic vanished instantly. Guo Xiaoxiao's skills instilled trust in them, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope for survival.
"We've saved me!"
"Look, the bugs can't get in! Quickly, burn these flying bugs to death, before they get inside our bodies!"
"Thank you, Beast God, for bestowing upon us the Great Shaman's compassionate heart."
"Thank goodness I entered Beast City yesterday, sob sob sob..."
Cang Jue exclaimed in admiration, "Truly amazing! If he had such abilities, how could the tribe not prosper? But where did she learn that? It's incredible!"
Seeing Cang Jue's stunned expression, Guo Xiaoxiao found it somewhat amusing. The system hadn't tricked her; this was a truly good skill!
Mickelson: "It's so great that Xiaoxiao can be your partner."
While Arthur was surprised, he also wanted to study the underlying principles.
"Could you teach me when you have some free time?"
"I can't do that," Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Hmm...we'll talk about it later."
Randy stood on high up and touched the white barrier with his hand; it felt like a layer of insulating glass.
He tried to strike it hard, but the white protective film didn't budge. The painful rebound made Randy frown and withdraw his hand.
In short, the orcs outside can't get in, and the people inside can forget about getting out.
Randy: "If we can't get out of here, how are we supposed to hunt? We'll run out of food eventually."
Arthur: "Also, keep the food supplies. Don't go out for the next few days. Not a single orc is allowed to leave the city."
