At first, no one noticed, but after a few tries, some orcs gradually realized the problem and quickly said, "Stop, I feel something is wrong."
The beastmen wiped their sweat and asked weakly, "What's wrong?"
"Haven't you noticed? This place is so strange. It's only a few dozen steps away, but it just doesn't seem to end."
"Maybe it's because it's dark, and you're seeing things."
The cat-beastman also said, "No, no, it's one thing if one person is wrong, but it's impossible for everyone to be wrong."
"So what do you think the problem is?"
Unable to reach a conclusion, some orcs began looking for other routes.
At the same time, Shen Miao also noticed the commotion outside. She quickly told Si Bao to shut up, then quietly walked to the window and peeked out.
At first glance, Shen Miao couldn't see clearly; she only saw a group of people trapped in the formation, wandering around like headless flies.
A thought flashed through my mind: Could it be that the orc tribesmen have discovered us and found us so quickly?
She left the children inside and quietly went to find Jiuying and Qingchen. The three of them, armed, went outside. The group was still wandering around inside and hadn't seen Shen Miao and the others come out at all.
As they got closer, Shen Miao stared at one of the figures and asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like I'm seeing a cat-beastman? Am I seeing things?"
"Your eyes aren't deceiving you, it really is them."
Besides the cat-beastman, Qingchen also saw several other beastmen with whom he had a good relationship.
Jiuying said, "They shouldn't be here to hunt. I see they're carrying a lot of things, so it seems they've been driven out as well."
At the same time, the orcs who were trying to find another way were about to step into the trap when Shen Miao suddenly appeared and stopped them.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see Shen Miao. Shen Miao led them inside, and they discovered that the place they couldn't get out of before was easily traversed by following Shen Miao.
They were all immediately surprised.
The cat-beastman asked directly, "What's going on?"
At this moment, Jiuying also came over and said irritably, "Isn't it all because of that bullshit hunting competition you guys organized? If we don't come up with something, we'll become your prey."
The cat-beastman waved his hand with a wry smile, "It's not us, it's them."
Jiuying looked at the cat-beastmen and the others, seeing that they were all exhausted and carrying bundles, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Were you kicked out too?"
"Why should we kick you out?" Qingchen asked in a deep voice.
Mentioning this, the cat-beastmen were filled with anger. "Don't even mention it. It's all because of that wretched female beast Frostflower. I don't know what she was thinking, but she made the whole tribe of beastmen go crazy and only listen to her. She said that we were on good terms with your family, so we were no good either, and she kicked us all out."
Shen Miao said coldly, "Shuanghua is trying to eliminate all dissidents. I want to see what she can do next."
"So what are your plans now?" Qingchen asked.
The cat-beastman smiled bitterly, "What other plans do we have? We can only take it one step at a time. We don't know where to go, so we came to seek refuge with you."
Shen Miao said, "Welcome. Please feel free to stay here. It's getting late today, so we can discuss everything tomorrow."
Everyone brought animal skins and food with them. They ate a little, and the cubs slept inside at night, while the adult females slept on the floor outside.
After a night like this, the next morning, Shen Miao first told the cat-beastmen about the traps and formations outside, telling them to be careful and not to get hurt.
Everyone agreed, and they were extra careful when they went out.
However, even so, they were still found by the tribal beastmen.
An orc discovered Shen Miao and the others' residence and quietly followed them. Upon seeing the children playing outside, he was overjoyed and, without any explanation, unleashed a spiritual attack.
At that time, the four children and Fulu were playing outside when they were almost injured by the spiritual power emitted by the tribal beastmen. Dabao even said something profound: If you encounter an adult beastman, don't say anything, just run away.
Da Bao immediately shouted, "Run!"
The children followed him and ran home in a flash. Once they reached the safe area, they would be safe.
The four cubs were regularly trained by Shen Miao and Qing Chen, and their abilities far surpassed those of ordinary cubs, so they quickly ran into the safe area.
"Oh no, Fulu didn't come in."
When Da Bao was counting heads, he realized that Fu Lu had been forgotten sometime during the day.
They quickly turned back to look for him, only to find that Fulu had been captured by a tall leopard-man. Fulu was so small that he could only struggle helplessly in the leopard-man's hands, with no ability to resist at all.
Da Bao's eyes reddened, and he shouted, "Fulu, don't be afraid, we're coming to save you!"
"Da Bao, don't be impulsive. You can't save him, and we can't beat him!" Er Bao and the other kids came over and stopped Da Bao.
"How will I know if I don't try? I can't let him take my friend away." Da Bao gritted his teeth in hatred.
The children all said, "Da Bao, let's wait for the adults to come back. If you go, you'll just be throwing your life away. Don't do anything foolish."
The children worked together to stop Da Bao.
The leopard beastman took Fulu away. Dabao and the others ran out to find Shenmiao. On the way, they encountered Shenmiao and a group of beastmen, and the children immediately burst into tears.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" Shen Miao asked anxiously, throwing down the piece of wood and rushing over.
Da Bao burst into tears, crying, "Mommy, Fu Lu has been captured by the evil beastmen!"
The cat-beastman, who was standing nearby, felt a wave of dizziness upon hearing this. He strode forward and asked Da Bao, "Da Bao, what did you just say? Who was captured?"
"Fulu has been captured, Uncle Cat, boohoo, we can't beat the leopard beastmen, we don't know how to save Fulu, please hurry and save him."
The cat-beastman went completely mad.
With red eyes, he said to Shen Miao, "I'm going to find Fu Lu."
“I’ll go with you,” Shen Miao decided immediately.
Shen Miao first sent the cubs home, repeatedly telling them not to come out, and then quickly chased after the leopard beastman in the direction he had left. She prayed in her heart again and again that Fu Lu was alright.
When she reached a riverbank, Shen Miao saw the cat-beastman who had gotten there before her. The cat-beastman was crouching there, looking like a statue, and in front of him lay Fu Lu, covered in blood.
The little cub's body was almost entirely covered in wounds, a testament to the immense suffering he endured before his death.
Shen Miao could barely bear to look at him, let alone her cat-beastman father.
