Namiel was lucky; after being separated for so long, he lay unharmed on the ground, as if the wild animals in this area had been completely wiped out by human intervention.
The first thing Mikel did after opening his eyes was to get up from the ground. He touched his chest and abdomen and found that his injuries were gone. Overjoyed, he was also puzzled as to where he was.
I remember being ambushed by an orc and running for my life to get here.
Suddenly, Mikel heard a sound ahead and became alert. Listening carefully, his excellent sense of smell told him that a mammoth had been driven this way.
Had they encountered a male hunting in the wild? Mikel held his breath and waited to see what would happen.
The mammoth kicked a tree, snapping the thick trunk in half with a loud bang.
"Ooh~"
"Bang"
With that roar, several enormous tigers burst forth from the shadows, ramming into the mammoth, knocking it to the ground, and biting down on its neck. In that brief moment, the mammoth could not withstand the attack; blood spurted out, splattering onto the tigers, a horrifying sight on the ground.
Mikel was dumbfounded, not because they were tigers, but because they weren't ordinary tigers; each one possessed the strength of a two-star ring.
He didn't return to the tribe, but wandered and explored the forest, eventually arriving in the territory of the lion beast.
Mikel didn't want any trouble, so he took advantage of the opportunity before they noticed him and left on his own.
He felt something unusual about him; he was full of energy and could walk with incredible speed. Despite not having eaten for two days, he was still in this physical condition—a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
It doesn't matter. I'll go back to the tribe first, say goodbye to my brother, and then go out on my own to gain experience.
One day he'll earn the respect of females!
"You haven't left yet?"
The voice came from behind Mikel, who was utterly shocked that an orc had silently appeared behind him without his noticing.
He turned around and looked at the orc in front of him.
With blond hair and blue eyes, he was handsome and charming, and every move he made exuded nobility and elegance.
"You stole my things, and I kindly let you go. You're still on my territory? Don't you want to die?"
Mikel hadn't forgotten the previous grudge; this orc was the one who had injured him, and he would never forget that hideous face.
He had to admit, they were very strong, stronger than any orc he had ever encountered before.
The oppressive aura emanating from the orc before me was unprecedented, even stronger than that of Mikesen and Cangjue. I felt as if my internal organs were boiling, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
As a proud lion, Mikel will not back down.
"What, you want to fight?"
Two orcs confront each other
"Boom~~~"
A thunderous roar erupted from the orc, who barked and assumed an attack stance. Mikel recoiled, sweat beading on his face. Even from this distance, he could feel the oppressive aura; this was no ordinary tiger.
"Haha, you're scared now? You were so arrogant just a moment ago."
The orc mocked Mikel. He had never intended to kill Mikel; the orc's unwavering resolve and refusal to beg for mercy in front of him was somewhat admirable.
Mikel snorted coldly. He was afraid, but that didn't mean he was afraid to run away.
Seeing Mikel's expression, the orc burst out laughing.
"You're so funny, tell me your name."
Mikel looked at him without saying a word.
The orc continued.
"My name is Arthur, and I am the chieftain of the Blacktooth Tribe."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Mikel remains stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.
"You're a two-star ring orc. Our tribe welcomes capable orcs to join us. Are you interested?"
Arthur said meaningfully, and Mikel frowned.
"Not interested"
Mikel turned to leave, but several tiger-like beasts rushed over and blocked his way, growling wildly.
"I gave you a chance to escape, but you didn't cherish it. The lowest rank of orcs in our tribe is two-star ring. If you were a one-star ring orc, I would have killed you without hesitation. You can't escape. Choose for yourself: join us or be killed."
Mikel surveyed the ferocious tigers and powerful orcs; he would rather die fighting than be threatened.
He wondered, were the Tiger Clan really that powerful? He'd never heard of them before.
…
On the other side, Cang Jue had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He was currently in A Luo's wooden house, looking sullenly in the direction of the Yu Shan tribe.
"Cang Jue, why don't you go find some females? What's the point of you staying here with me all day? Hurry up and figure out a way to bring some females back to the Sishui tribe."
Tomorrow marks their agreed-upon three-day deadline. If they haven't become partners, he won't care anymore; he'll just take them away. He'll come first.
Cangjue Dao
"Enough with the nonsense. I don't need your reminder. I'll marry her in a few days and bring her back to the Sishui tribe sooner or later."
As Alo crushed the herbs in his hands, he spoke.
"Still being stubborn. The lion in the female's heart is her favorite. If you don't keep an eye on him every day, you might not even have a place left."
"I don't need your lecture; I can make her willingly come back to the tribe with me."
Hopefully.
After A Luo finished speaking, he started fiddling with the medicinal herbs again.
Cang Jue watched from the side, feeling extremely displeased. How dare he compare himself to the ugly lion? He was the male that the females loved the most!
"I'm leaving the tribe to go find her."
Upon hearing this, A Luo looked up, surprised.
Who are you looking for?
"Guo Xiaoxiao"
As Cang Jue spoke, even mentioning Guo Xiaoxiao's name stirred his emotions.
Alo curled his lip.
"Whatever, that's too slow a reaction."
Having said that, Cang Jue transformed into an eagle and flew towards the Yushan tribe.
Guo Xiaoxiao used a healing technique, and her physical pain was greatly reduced.
To my delight, I completed the mission and obtained the resurrection skill.
The leaves were selected from exactly 50 different plant leaves, which were then used to obtain an energy potion.
Great news! Double happiness!
Miksen gave a few instructions and hurriedly left. Sam had come by earlier that day, saying he hadn't seen Mikel for several days and didn't know where he was. Miksen led a few orcs into the forest to search for him.
Alright, all that's left is to plant corn and improve healing skills.
Next to the cave is a well-dug plot of land. Everything is ready except for one crucial element: obtaining corn seeds. Once planted, it will produce a 5-piece kitchen set.
The wedding ceremony is complete. Although I have a new tattoo on my arm, it's not a big deal; I still look beautiful, and life is getting more and more comfortable.
Guo Xiaoxiao held the prepared medicine in her hand, playing with it, overjoyed.
A fierce wind blew, a hurricane swept over Guo Xiaoxiao, messing up her hair. She nearly dropped the energy potion in her hand, but luckily she held it firmly; otherwise, it would have been a loud thud before she could even use it.
"Female, I'm here."
Cang Jue transformed into human form and stood steadily in front of Guo Xiaoxiao. Upon landing, he noticed the circle of beast marks on Guo Xiaoxiao's arm—the marks left by Miken.
It seems they've already become a couple.
Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned. Oh no! She was supposed to become Cang Jue's partner? How could she have forgotten? She was truly exasperated.
