Shen Miao softened her tone and said, "I'm leaving the babies in your care. Take good care of them and wait for me to come back."
“I’ll go with you,” Qingchen suddenly said.
Shen Miao looked at him in surprise, then smiled: "If you come with me, what will happen to the children? Besides, your condition is a bit more serious than mine, so it's not suitable for you to travel long distances. Just stay home and wait for me to come back."
Qingchen felt slighted and couldn't help but say, "I am the male beast."
"This has nothing to do with whether it's a male or female beast. First of all, my body is indeed better than yours, and secondly, I'm faster than you."
Just as Qingchen was about to retort, Shen Miao took out the bone whistle and blew it.
After a short while, the white-horned beast appeared in front of Shen Miao.
Only one white-horned beast came this time. Shen Miao asked curiously why, and learned that the other beasts had moved to other places.
"Then why didn't you go with them?"
The white-horned beast simply stared at her with its beastly eyes, without saying a word.
Shen Miao suddenly realized that the strange beast was still here because it was keeping its promise.
For a moment, she felt very conflicted.
She wanted to say, "Then you'll be the only ones left here? How lonely that would be."
However, she didn't say it, because that would seem like she was being hypocritical after getting the benefit.
Shen Miao patted the thick fur of the white-horned beast and said, "Sorry, old friend, I'm troubling you again. After this, you can go wherever you want. You won't be trapped in this mountain anymore, okay?"
The white-horned beast squatted down in front of Shen Miao and gently nuzzled her with its large head.
Shen Miao smiled gently and turned to look at Qing Chen beside her. Qing Chen was staring straight at her with a complicated expression on his face.
"See? I told you I'd be faster than you. Now you believe me, right? This is my cheat code," Shen Miao said with a hint of smugness.
Qingchen didn't understand what a cheat code was. He was shocked to see the strange beast, which was different from ordinary beasts, so close to Shen Miao.
How did this female beast manage to do that?
Could she be a beast tamer?
However, Qingchen spent every day with her and did not discover that she possessed this ability.
Qingchen didn't realize that his furrowed brows and deep thought made Shen Miao almost afraid to disturb him, but time was of the essence, so she had to interrupt him.
"Qingchen, I'm going. Don't worry, wait for my good news."
After saying that, Shen Miao climbed onto the back of the white-horned beast and said softly, "Let's go."
The white-horned beast straightened its body, raised its head, and rushed swiftly in one direction. Its four claws were very powerful, so even though it was moving very fast, Shen Miao could not feel any bumps.
Qingchen wanted to stop them, but it was too late. He could only watch as the figures of the man and the beast gradually disappeared into the distance until they became a small black dot.
He stood there, stunned, unusually dazed.
"Daddy, where's Mommy?" The children rushed out of the house, but there was no sign of her.
Qingchen said in a deep voice, "Your mother has gone to do something important."
Ah, the little ones don't quite understand, so Qingchen carried them back into the house one by one and checked their condition.
For some reason, these Gu worms don't cause as much harm to cubs as they do to adult beastmen.
For example, in their family, both he and Shen Miao had had their episodes several times, but the children were doing relatively well, which made Qingchen breathe a slight sigh of relief.
However, sooner or later, the Gu worm will always be a hidden danger.
I only hope that Shen Miao can safely bring back the antidote on her journey.
On the other side, because the white-horned beast was running too fast, Shen Miao had to lower her body and lie on the beast's back. Even so, the wind blowing in her face made her cheeks sting.
Shen Miao had no choice but to bury her face in the beast's fur as well.
Hmm, it's soft and quite comfortable.
I wonder which is more pleasant to touch: the fur of this mythical beast or the fur of the main villain.
It seemed that the big fox's fur was superior. She still remembered touching Qingchen's fur once when she first transmigrated here, and after that, the big fox refused to transform into its true form again.
Shen Miao was slightly disappointed.
"How are you?" A rough voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Upon hearing this, Shen Miao nearly collapsed.
This is terrifying! Who would talk to her when she's traveling at such a high speed?
Summoning her courage, Shen Miao looked around and saw only trees and mountains rushing by, but not a single talking creature.
What's going on? Could it be that the Gu worm has controlled her brain, causing her to hallucinate?
Why don't you answer?
The voice rang out again, and this time Shen Miao heard it even more clearly. It was still a rough voice, like the kind of smoky voice that makes a great singer.
However, the sound seemed to be coming from below.
Shen Miao couldn't help but lower her head. She tentatively asked, "Were you talking to me?"
"Otherwise, there are only the two of us here."
Shen Miao pinpointed the source of the voice, but instead of feeling relieved, she became even more terrified. She stammered, "You, aren't you a beast? How can you speak?"
The white-horned beast said speechlessly, "I've always been able to talk; I just didn't say so before because I didn't want to."
Well, wild beasts are indeed capricious.
Shen Miao was at a loss for words.
She paused for a moment before replying with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable, I was really scared by you just now."
In fact, this is not the first time.
It seems that all the ferocious beasts associated with her eventually speak, like the snow wolf, and this strange beast.
The white-horned beast said indifferently, "It's alright. Ordinary beastmen wouldn't know I can talk. You seem to be in a bad state. You can tell me about it."
Shen Miao then told the white-horned beast about being poisoned by the Gu.
"Those Bloodworm Clan are indeed cunning." The white-horned beast's voice was unreadable. "So you're going to find the Bloodworm Clan now to ask them for the antidote?"
"Yes, the entire tribe, young and old, have all been infected by the curse. If I don't go, everyone will die."
Shen Miao paused for a moment, then said, "They said they were going to find the Bloodworm Clan, but I don't actually know where they are exactly. I only know that they used to live in the Great Water Marsh."
The Bloodworms love water, so they live near water.
The white-horned beast said, "Then let's go check out the Great Water Marsh first."
They went to the Great Water Marsh, but found nothing. There were still some wooden houses scattered around the marsh, but not a single orc was to be seen.
It is clear that the Bloodworms have migrated away.
Without any clues, searching for someone like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
For the first time since she came into this world, Shen Miao felt helpless.
After dismounting from the beast's back, Shen Miao went to investigate the former habitat of the Bloodworm Clan, trying to find any trace of them. However, it seemed they had moved away some time ago, as even their footprints were no longer visible.
