With a burst of mental strength, Shen Miao arrived!
This orc, judging by his figure alone, was not tall, and was even somewhat thin. Perhaps that was why he wanted to use the beast soul to quickly increase his experience.
Shen Miao wanted to see the other person's face clearly, but it was too dark, and she could only see an outline, so she didn't know who it was.
But whoever did this deserves to die!
Shen Miao's expression was cold. While he was focused on digging the grave, she quietly circled behind him, raised the stick high, and smashed it down hard.
She wasn't sure if she could beat the other person, so she could only knock them unconscious when they weren't paying attention.
However, the orc was very agile and sensed the wind in advance. He rolled on the spot, and the heavy wooden stick missed, only hitting a bit of the animal hide.
At this moment, the moon peeked out from behind the clouds and shone on the earth, and Shen Miao finally saw that face clearly.
It's the werewolf beastman Leng Han!
Leng Han knew he had been exposed, and his fierce eyes flashed as he sneered, "You think you can catch me all by yourself? Shen Miao, you overestimate yourself. I'll kill you here today, and tomorrow I'll spread the word throughout the tribe that you're the murderer who poisoned the beastmen and stole their souls!"
“Despicable!” Shen Miao uttered two words.
Leng Han was inherently ferocious, and with his secret exposed, he no longer cared about Shen Miao's identity as a female beast. He used almost all his strength in an attempt to kill Shen Miao with one blow.
Shen Miao was strong, but she was, after all, just a female beastman and no match for a battle-hardened beastman.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and narrowly avoided Leng Han's deadly attacks several times, which thoroughly enraged Leng Han, who roared, "You're asking for death!"
Leng Han's attacks grew increasingly powerful, and Shen Miao gradually found herself unable to cope.
Her wooden stick was kicked away, and unarmed, she was powerless against the cold. The orc was fast, and a pair of withered claws went straight for her chest.
He chuckled coldly, "Trying to capture me? I'll send you to your death today!"
"You bastard, let go of my mother!"
At that very moment, a childish voice suddenly rang out.
The baby's here?
Leng Han was also taken aback. Now was the time. Shen Miao used all her strength to dodge, and then her huge body crashed heavily into the wolf-beastman.
The wolf-orc was knocked away.
But he quickly got up again, staring at Shen Miao and several small figures flying away with a sinister look.
"Fine, your whole family's come here to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Da Bao roared, "You're the one who's courting death! None of us will die!"
Erbao spat and said, "You bad guy!"
Sanbao picked up a stone and threw it over.
Little Four Treasures stuck out their tongues at Leng Han: "Hehehe!"
Shen Miao looked at the children, but she couldn't put her mind at ease at all; she simply couldn't protect them!
Enraged, Leng Han charged forward like a madman.
Da Bao shouted, "Scatter!"
The children worked in perfect unison, standing at the four corners and surrounding Leng Han in the middle. Leng Han grinned maliciously, his five fingers forming a wolf's claw as he reached out to grab the weakest of the four children.
"Sibao, watch out!" Shen Miao exclaimed and rushed over quickly.
Little Sibao remained completely calm. The chubby little finger pointed at Leng Han and shouted, "Plop!"
The next second, Leng Han collapsed.
Shen Miao's panicked expression froze on her face.
Xiao Sibao smiled sweetly at Chen Miao: "Mommy, it's okay, we've caught the bad guy!"
It turns out these kids really came to help. When they spread out, they had already set up a line so that no matter who Leng Han rushed towards, she would be tripped up.
The cubs seized the opportunity to rush forward and tightly bound the wolf-orc into a dumpling.
Shen Miao was very surprised; she really hadn't expected that her children had this special skill.
"It was Father who taught us this. We're too small to beat those adult beastmen, so Father told us to cooperate," Xiao Sibao explained.
Shen Miao truly admired Qing Chen. He had taught those little kids to be so skilled; if he hadn't been injured, how strong would he have been?
With the wolf-orc captured, he could no longer cause any trouble. His cubs, like victorious generals, followed Shen Miao gleefully, dragging Leng Han back to the tribe.
It was already quite late, and most of the orcs were already asleep.
But the news that Shen Miao had caught the murderer still spread throughout the entire tribe, and everyone got up and ran to the chief's house to watch.
They hated Leng Han to the core and rushed up to give him a brutal beating, leaving Leng Han curled up in a ball.
At this moment, he was no longer the ruthless man who dug up graves and took away beast souls; he was only utterly disheveled.
Shen Miao didn't linger and took the babies home.
Now that the murderer has been caught, she can finally get a good night's sleep.
When they got home, Qingchen was still awake. Shen Miao carried the four babies to his bed, then cruelly ignored his eager gaze, which seemed to want to know what had happened, and went back to her own room, where she fell asleep immediately.
They were exhausted after a long night, and Shen Miao and the kids didn't get up until very late.
Upon waking up, Shen Miao heard that Leng Han had been executed by the clan. She was not surprised by this outcome. This world, though seemingly simple, still has certain rules.
For example, people who endanger the lives of orcs will not have a good end.
After the wolf-beastman died, he left behind a lot of beast souls that he hadn't had time to absorb, as well as some beast crystals of decent quality. The clan leader didn't make a decision on his own, but instead invited Shen Miao over.
The capture of the wolf-orc was entirely thanks to Shen Miao; she saved the entire tribe.
The clan chief meant that all the beast crystals should be given to Shen Miao, since she almost lost her life and it was only right to give her some compensation. The other beastmen had no objections.
Shen Miao did not refuse and happily accepted everything.
The clan chief, unusually kind to her, praised her a few times; in the past, the clan chief had always ignored her.
"It's always better to be a good person," Shen Miao sighed.
Before leaving, Shen Miao remembered another question and asked the clan leader, "What should we do with the beastmen's souls?"
They're already dead, and yet their souls still have to be extracted. That's just too tragic.
The clan chief hadn't expected her to care about this, and although surprised, he still explained to her: "After the beast souls are extracted, it's impossible to tell which belongs to which, so they can only be reburied together."
It's good that he's buried; Shen Miao doesn't have any better solution.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Chieftain, please announce that the pond in the tribe is the cause of everyone's poisoning."
The clan chief exclaimed, "How could this be?"
Shen Miao waved her hand: "Let me finish. The water has been poisoned, but the veterinarian has already prepared the antidote. As long as the antidote is put in, the poison will be neutralized."
"No wonder, that beast Leng Han deserved to die." The clan chief said fiercely, clearly hating him to the extreme.
Shen Miao added, "I didn't tell the clan leader before because I was afraid that too many people would know and alert the enemy. I hope the clan leader won't blame me."
The clan chief, of course, wouldn't allow it. He urged Shen Miao to quickly find the antidote, and Shen Miao agreed, going to the veterinarian to get the antidote and placing it in the pond.
