Chapter 138 Subtle Negotiation



The sound was so loud that it seemed to shake the earth.

"What's going on? What's that sound?"

The beastmen looked at each other, their eyes filled with terror.

One Bloodworm Clan member had already driven them to the brink of despair, so what other incredible thing had arrived? If so, there would truly be no way out for them.

Amidst the panicked expressions of all the orcs, only Shen Miao remained relatively calm. She had a vague idea, but she wasn't quite sure.

She wanted to go out and see for herself... but Jiu Ying stopped her, shaking his head anxiously: "Don't go out."

Shen Miao smiled and said, "It's alright. I think what's coming is our helper."

As she spoke, she shook the bone whistle in her hand, and before Jiuying could react, she had already rushed towards the horde of charging beasts.

The beasts rushed up to Shen Miao and stopped in their tracks.

The leading beast had a pair of extremely beautiful white horns; it was the same one that Shen Miao had helped deliver the baby last time.

"You really came." Shen Miao was overjoyed.

The white-horned beast roared at the sky, and its companions behind it followed suit with their own roars, the sounds merging into a continuous wave of sound that chilled the hearts of listeners.

The Bloodworm Clan also noticed the unusual situation and became somewhat agitated.

Orcs have a more acute intuition about things stronger than themselves. For example, the Bloodworm Clan can directly bully Shenmiao's tribe, but they have an inexplicable fear of suddenly appearing alien beasts.

After their leader's long roar, the beasts charged into the Bloodworm Clan like ferocious beasts descending a mountain.

A bloody massacre began.

The Bloodworm Orcs screamed incessantly, their warm blood spurting out. Wherever the beastmen's iron hooves passed, the Bloodworm Orcs were forced into retreat.

Finally, they became afraid and began to retreat incessantly.

Seeing that the Bloodworm Clan was preparing to escape, Shen Miao was not about to let them go so easily. She whispered a few words to the White Horned Beast, and the White Horned Beast lowered its body and invited Shen Miao to sit on its back.

Shen Miao was taken aback when she saw it.

She only wanted the alien beast to capture the leader of the Bloodworm Clan, but she never expected that the beast would let her ride on it and willingly become her mount.

But she didn't hesitate for long. She leaped onto the broad back of the white-horned beast.

The white-horned beast carried her, galloping wildly across the battlefield littered with the corpses of the Bloodworm Clan.

From her high vantage point, Shen Miao could easily spot the Bloodworm Clan leader, who was trying to escape under the cover of the other Bloodworm Clan orcs.

Trying to run? Not so easy!

Shen Miao snorted coldly and commanded the white-horned beast to charge left and right across the battlefield crisscrossed with blood and severed limbs, advancing relentlessly.

Any Bloodworm Clan beastmen who tried to stop them were bitten to death by the White Horned Beast. For a time, the Bloodworm Clan beastmen dared not approach any further. The White Horned Beast then carried Shen Miao to the Bloodworm Clan beastmen leader.

Before the exceptionally tall and strong Bloodworm Orc leader could react, Shen Miao swept him across with her stone spear, sending him sprawling to the ground in a sorry state.

Immediately afterward, the white-horned beast stepped forward with its forepaws, stopping the bloodworm leader from putting up any resistance.

Shen Miao jumped off the back of the alien beast and tied up the Bloodworm Clan leader tightly.

The human and the beast worked together in perfect harmony, a truly seamless partnership.

Having done all this, Shen Miao raised the Bloodworm Clan leader's scepter and loudly addressed the surrounding Bloodworm Clan members: "Your leader has been captured alive. Lay down your weapons immediately, or you will be killed without mercy!"

She then ordered Jiuying to take the scepter and go to Qingchen and the others, repeating the same words.

In the orc world, people are absolutely obedient to their leaders. Upon seeing the scepter belonging to their leader, the Bloodworm Clan's formidable fighting power crumbled instantly.

This is why Shen Miao insisted that the white-horned beast must capture its leader.

The Bloodworm Clan leader was dragged to Shen Miao by several orcs. He was over two meters tall, with large bones, and exuded a very rugged and primitive aura.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the leader of the Bloodworm Clan was filled with resentment and anger.

Especially towards Shen Miao, who had captured him with her own hands, his eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit.

"Chief, you have failed." Shen Miao smiled.

The Bloodworm leader growled in dissatisfaction, "You used underhanded tactics. In a fair fight, you would be no match for me."

Shen Miao raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Why should I fight you? I am a female beast. Isn't it a disgrace for you, a male beast, to fight with a female beast?"

"..."

The leader of the Bloodworm Clan was furious. He couldn't win a fight, and he couldn't win an argument either.

"Moreover, when it comes to methods, your Bloodworm Clan is no less ruthless. Sending people to infiltrate tribes, is that a respectable method?" Shen Miao continued to smile, but there was no trace of amusement in her eyes.

The Bloodworm Clan leader's expression changed slightly.

He sent orcs to infiltrate the Shenmiao tribe through the river, doing so very discreetly. He believed the tribe's orcs wouldn't discover it, because most of them were outside defending against them and would never have imagined that the Bloodworm Clan had secretly infiltrated.

This was also a plan devised by the leader of the Bloodworm Clan and his subordinates.

However, Shen Miao now claims that she discovered the infiltrated Bloodworm Clan orcs, which is horrifying to him.

However, the Bloodworm Clan leader was, after all, a leader, and quickly regained control of his emotions. Shen Miao couldn't help but admire the orc's mental fortitude.

She believed that without the help of the white-horned beast and her unexpected advantage, it would have been quite difficult to take down the orc leader.

In fact, even at this moment, the leader of the Bloodworm Clan still had a look of resentment on his face.

Shen Miao was too lazy to waste words with him and said directly, "Let's get straight to the point. I won't kill you today, but I don't want to let you go just like that either. You just have to sign a contract with me."

"I will not sign. The Bloodworm Clan never admits defeat," the Bloodworm Clan leader said proudly.

Shen Miao sneered, "Is that so? Then let me tell you something: a wise man submits to circumstances. If you don't sign, I will kill you and all your orc subordinates."

This is the rule of the orc world: if one side is defeated, they either become the other's slaves or are all killed.

Shen Miao didn't want the Bloodworm Clan beastmen to be slaves; she only wanted to ensure the safety of the tribe's beastmen.

Upon hearing her words, the Bloodworm leader was filled with shock and anger, "You can't do this..."

"I can!"

Neither side would back down, and they remained locked in a standoff.

The leader of the Bloodworm Clan attempted to use his physical advantages to force Shen Miao to submit, but Shen Miao did not give in at all. Despite being a female beast, her aura was in no way inferior to that of any male beast.

What's more, behind her stood a frosty-faced male beast, its hands resting on the stone knife, ready to obey its master's command and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

The leader of the Bloodworm Clan was starting to back down.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Shen Miao instructed Jiu Ying, "Go out and, within the time it takes to drink a bowl of water, kill a Bloodworm Clan beastman."
