Qingchen regained some consciousness, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Shen Miao's eyes, and weakly comforted her, "It's nothing, just a minor scratch, don't cry."
"The injury is so serious, how can it be called a superficial injury?" Shen Miao sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
It's fortunate that Qingchen has a strong will; otherwise, it's uncertain whether someone else would have been able to return here safely.
Qingchen forced a smile. "It's good that I was able to rescue you safely."
Shen Miao was stunned, and then tears fell again. She made Qingchen lie down and silently began to treat his wounds, first cleaning them, then sprinkling hemostatic powder, and then bandaging them.
Of course, healing abilities were also poured into Qingchen's body for free. Once Qingchen felt a little better, they started heading back.
Because nobody knows whether the skeleton soldiers will come after us.
Given their current state of injury and disability, they are hardly suited to face an army of skeleton soldiers.
Upon returning to the tribe, Jiuying informed the orcs to prepare themselves, as the skeleton soldiers were likely to launch a counterattack. After witnessing the skeleton soldiers fleeing in disarray, the orcs were no longer as afraid of them.
Let them come, we'll just drive them away again.
Jiuying was right. The next day, the skeleton soldiers came back with a vengeance. These guys seemed to have forgotten how badly they had been beaten before, and they were still just as arrogant as before.
The tribal beastmen put on sunglasses and obeyed Qingchen's orders, refusing to go out, which infuriated them.
The skeleton soldiers were indeed enraged and started cursing, but the orc tribe remained calm. No matter how much they cursed, no one got angry. After all, cursing wouldn't hurt them, so they could curse all they wanted.
The skeleton soldiers cursed and cursed, but they got bored and couldn't break through, so they could only hop around in place.
The skeleton leader stared at the high city wall with a sinister expression. He pushed aside his subordinates and walked out, shouting to the orcs on the wall, "You female beast named Shen Miao, how have you been enjoying yourself these past few days being played with by my people?"
The beastmen were stunned by these words. What did they mean?
The skeleton chieftain grinned triumphantly and continued, "If the orcs in your tribe can't satisfy you, you can join our tribe. Everyone will be happy to help you. Oh, by the way, I heard you have a male beast. Your male beast probably doesn't know that my tribesmen have been playing with you for a few days, right? Should I personally tell him for you?"
These words, laced with deep insult, essentially ruined the reputation of this female beast.
The beastmen were puzzled and looked at each other in confusion.
Some of the orcs began to whisper among themselves, "My God, was Shen Miao really insulted by them? They're so ugly, so scary."
"Who knows? Shen Miao didn't just come back yesterday. She hadn't been back for several days before. I heard she was captured by the skeleton soldiers. Think about it, given how brutal the skeleton soldiers are, once they capture a female beast, they certainly won't be kind enough to do nothing."
"Enough! Shen Miao is one of our people. Which side are you on?"
The discussion gradually subsided only after some orcs, unable to bear the silence, rebuked them.
"Shen Miao, have you turned into a coward? Too scared to come out? Haha, these are all your old flames. Come out, we won't hurt you, after all, you are a precious female beast." The skeleton leader continued to stir things up.
Shen Miao's leg injury hadn't healed yet, and she wasn't supposed to come out today, but she was worried about it and decided to come anyway. As soon as she arrived, she heard what the Skeleton Leader said.
Instantly, Shen Miao exploded.
He immediately forgot about his leg injury, rushed to the wall in a few strides, pointed at the skeleton leader, and shouted fiercely, "You dog, I will take your life!"
The sound was projected using spiritual power, and could be heard far and wide, instantly silencing everyone in the surrounding area.
Ignoring the shock of her appearance, Shen Miao magically produced a heavy crossbow from her spatial storage and aimed it directly at the skull leader's head.
No one here recognized the heavy crossbow, not even the skeleton leader, so even with crossbow bolts pointed at him, he remained indifferent and didn't think Shen Miao had the ability to harm him.
Shen Miao sneered, "The villains not only died from talking too much, but also from underestimating their enemies!"
The crossbow bolt was fired, carrying with it a deep and overwhelming rage, heading straight for the skull leader's head.
The skeleton leader may not know what a heavy crossbow is, but as the leader of a tribe, he has an innate keen intuition for danger. The moment the heavy crossbow flew over, he dodged to the side, managing to avoid the most critical part of his head, and the arrow only pierced his back.
Even so, the skeleton leader was thrown off his mount by the powerful impact.
Shen Miao was slightly disappointed that her first arrow missed, and she was about to shoot a second arrow, but the skeleton soldiers had already swarmed forward and snatched their leader back.
Shen Miao smiled coldly, first summoned Jiu Ying and gave him a few instructions. After he left, she waved her hand at the orcs and said, "Now is the perfect opportunity for revenge. If you have the guts, come with me and kill these dogs who covet our tribe!"
The orcs were filled with excitement and responded enthusiastically. Soon after, the city gates were opened, and a group of orcs rushed out.
With their leader wounded, the skeleton soldiers were demoralized and had no will to fight. They were quickly routed and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, the tribe's orcs became even more confident, their battle cries shaking the heavens and terrifying the skeleton soldiers, who only wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
The skeleton leader hastily bandaged his wounds, and seeing the situation, knew he wouldn't get away with it today. He immediately ordered a retreat.
But the orcs were now in a killing frenzy and wouldn't let them leave so easily. They followed closely behind and wouldn't let go, causing the skeleton soldiers to suffer greatly.
"Retreat westward!"
The skeleton leader surveyed the entire situation and discovered that there was a gap to the west. If they could break through, they could escape this calamity. He immediately ordered his men to retreat westward with all their might.
He's too flustered right now and his mind isn't clear; otherwise, he would have figured it out after a little thought.
Shen Miao could completely surround the other three sides, so how could he leave an opening?
Sure enough, as soon as the skeleton leader led his men to the west, they were caught red-handed by the Nine-Headed Serpent, who had been waiting there. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the skeleton leader simply threw down his weapon, raised his hands, and shouted, "I surrender!"
Seeing this scene from above, Shen Miao couldn't help but sneer. Surrender? What a joke! They were shouting so loudly at first. She wouldn't accept it.
Since Jiuying couldn't make the decision herself, she sent a message to Shen Miao, who then went down herself.
The skeleton leader knelt on the ground, showing absolute obedience to Shen Miao. He touched his forehead to the ground and said devoutly, "I am willing to surrender and become your loyal subordinate from now on."
Seeing that their leader was doing this, the other skeleton soldiers followed suit.
"Tch." Shen Miao let out a sneer.
