After the Bloodworms were defeated once again, the orc tribesmen cheered with joy.
They thought the Bloodworm Clan wasn't so scary after all; look, they could easily rout these poor creatures.
In thinking this way, they forgot that if it weren't for Shen Miao, given their previous impulsiveness, who would have been left in disarray?
Shen Miao watched the retreating Bloodworm Clan with a thoughtful expression.
A hint of worry appeared between his brows.
The situation is not good. In this day and night, the Bloodworm Clan orcs launched three attacks. The first attack resulted in the deaths of most of them, while the second attack saw a decrease in casualties.
By the third and final time, they had learned to avoid the fire.
Moreover, she discovered that these bloodworms even followed their example and set fires in several places when they left, fearing that the fires would spread to the tribe. Shen Miao had people put out the fires.
These Bloodworm Clan are indeed as formidable as the legends say.
The sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.
It was getting light.
Shen Miao hadn't slept all night, feeling strangely excited yet exhausted. The discovery she had just made made her uneasy, and she wanted to discuss it with someone. But when she turned her head, she saw the orcs lying on the ground in a mess.
He couldn't help but rub his forehead. Oh well, there was no point in talking to these orcs.
Shen Miao leaned against the tree trunk, closed her eyes, and was about to rest when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Shen Miao opened her eyes and saw that the person approaching was Jiu Ying. She was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Why are you here? Where are the cubs?"
He subconsciously looked behind Jiuying.
Jiuying comforted him, "It's alright, Dabao and the others are resting at home. I locked the door, and when I saw you hadn't gone home all night, I came out to look for you."
"Are they alright?" Shen Miao asked, a little worried about the children.
Jiuying paused for a moment, then said, "I didn't sleep for the first half of the night, waiting for your message. I finally fell asleep because I couldn't stay awake any longer."
Shen Miao was silent for a moment, then said, "Go back and tell them I'm fine. Mother will definitely defeat the Bloodworm Clan. Tell them not to worry and to go about their business as usual."
"You should go back and tell them yourself." Jiu Ying sat down next to Shen Miao. "I'll do it for you."
Just as Shen Miao was about to refuse, Jiu Ying said, "If you don't get enough rest, it will affect your abilities, and you'll easily run into problems when facing the enemy."
Shen Miao understood this principle, so she didn't say anything more and nodded, saying, "Alright, then you stay here and guard. Listen to me, these Bloodworm Orcs are very cunning. I used fire attacks to deal with them before, but they have learned that method now, so it may not be very effective. Therefore, you must be very careful."
"Also, we must be wary of them setting fires in return."
Upon hearing this, Jiuying felt a headache coming on, and his face turned extremely ugly. "You mean, they'll actually put what they've learned into practice?"
Shen Miao smiled wryly and said, "That's right."
That's really troublesome, Jiu Ying thought to herself, but didn't show it on her face. She urged Shen Miao to go back quickly so that the children wouldn't wake up and not find anyone.
When they got home, the children had already woken up. When they saw Shen Miao, they all rushed over to check if she had any injuries.
Shen Miao felt very comforted and let her children check on her, reassuring them, "Mother is fine, don't worry."
The children pursed their lips and insisted on taking care of Shen Miao, bringing her a stool, pouring her water, and massaging her legs and shoulders. Shen Miao immediately felt all the fatigue from the night disappear.
After resting at home for a while, Shen Miao got up and went out again.
The children blocked her way, looking up and asking, "Mother, are the Bloodworm Clan very powerful?"
Shen Miao thought for a moment, not wanting to deceive her children, and said, "They are very powerful, but Mother is also very powerful. They can only suffer losses when facing Mother."
"Can we also go and kill the Bloodworm Clan?" Erbao asked expectantly.
Shen Miao resolutely said, "No, the children must stay at home. If they go outside, their mother will be distracted, and if she is distracted, she won't be able to kill the Bloodworm Clan, and something bad will happen."
Although Da Bao and Er Bao already possess abilities, these abilities are still in their early stages, and they are not yet capable of killing enemies. As for San Bao and Si Bao, they haven't even activated their abilities yet.
"Oh." The children were a little disappointed.
Shen Miao patted their heads and instructed them, "Stay at home and don't worry your mother, okay?"
Da Bao nodded, "Mommy, you must take good care of yourself too."
Once outside her home, Shen Miao patrolled the tribe. Given the cunning of the Bloodworm Clan, she had to be on high alert, fearing that they might have already secretly hidden themselves away.
While patrolling the pool where they had previously encountered the giant fish, Shen Miao, with her sharp ears, heard a sound.
She felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be another giant fish?
Ever since she was attacked by a giant fish here, Shen Miao has been traumatized and rarely dares to approach this pool.
But these are critical times. If we are to patrol, we must patrol thoroughly and not give the Bloodworm Clan any opportunity to take advantage!
Thinking of this, Shen Miao gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and slowly walked towards the pool.
She deliberately walked lightly so as not to disturb anything in the pool.
As she got closer, Shen Miao could see what was in the pool. It wasn't a giant fish at all; it was two beastmen. Shen Miao didn't recognize them and was certain they weren't from the tribe.
She suppressed her doubts for the time being and continued to observe from her hiding place.
The two orcs looked around, then looked down into the water and said, "There's no danger, come out."
With a splash, seven or eight more orcs emerged from the water.
One of the orcs, before emerging from the water, was a writhing, fat worm, its body congested with blood, looking quite terrifying.
However, after it came out, it transformed into human form.
Shen Miao was greatly shocked.
Fortunately, she made a last-minute decision to come to the pool; otherwise, the tribe would have been invaded by these bloodworms.
If they collude from within and without, the outcome will be disastrous.
Shen Miao wasn't surprised that these Bloodworm Orcs could get in, because this pool of water led to the river outside, and since their true form was insects, they could easily crawl in by following the waterway.
They really are the cunning Bloodworm Clan.
While Shen Miao was pondering, the orcs were already preparing to head into the tribe.
Shen Miao dared not delay and immediately activated her supernatural ability, Burning Flame. A fireball directly knocked down three Bloodworm Clan beastmen. These Bloodworm Clan beastmen were truly afraid of fire, and after being burned, they quickly turned to ashes.
The other orcs were taken aback, but Shen Miao didn't give them a chance to react before launching several more fireballs.
The Bloodworm Orcs were almost all killed instantly.
The remaining one turned and ran away.
Shen Miao pursued closely and successfully eliminated the enemy before they entered the tribe.
Her supernatural abilities were nearly exhausted, and she was panting heavily, but she dared not delay. She immediately turned back to the pool.
