Chapter 146 Fighting for Life
Ruan Xiyue did this for two reasons: firstly, she was extremely anxious and eager to reach her destination; secondly, she also intended to keep a certain distance from the orcs in the tribe.
Because she still retained some rationality and was not blinded by anxiety.
Ruan Xiyue knew very well that she absolutely could not let the other orcs in the tribe know that Long Ze was currently with the wandering orcs!
Ruan Xiyue quickly tapped her earring and calmly ordered Cong Xian, "You must lead their team well. After we arrive at our destination, we will enter the mountain stream first. You must immediately arrange for everyone to be on alert."
Those orcs who harmed Longze and his men could return at any time! We will be responsible for treating the wounded, while you will focus on defense.
The opponent's strength far surpasses Long Ze's; we are very likely to face an extremely fierce battle, so we must not let our guard down!
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Xiyue tapped her earring again and asked Long Ze with concern, "What level are their abilities? How many of them are there in total? We need to find out beforehand so we can better deal with them."
The corners of Long Ze's smiling lips unconsciously curved upwards.
Although he understood that the current situation was somewhat inappropriate, the thought of Ruan Xiyue displaying such a decisive and ruthless demeanor for his sake made his heart pound uncontrollably for her.
He quickly said gently, "Honey, don't be nervous. There are more than thirty of them, all of whom are at least orange-ranked. Nine of them are red-ranked, three are brown-ranked, and the rest are all orange-ranked."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyue frowned deeply, secretly calculating in her mind. She knew that even with the guards left behind by Xia Weier, their strength above the Red Rank was still far from sufficient, and the situation was extremely dire.
Just then, Duo Duo's voice rang in Ruan Xiyue's mind: [Host, don't worry! The beastmen of the Spirit Fox Tribe are right behind you!]
Fearing that their host might encounter an accident, they quickly gathered and caught up after a period of emergency!
Dodo had been closely monitoring the surrounding area, and so far, no large groups of wandering orcs had appeared nearby. Occasionally, a few scattered orcs would appear, but upon seeing the tribe's entire orc caravan traveling together, they would flee in terror!
【Duoduo, you're amazing! I love you so much! All the energy you used up today will be deducted from my points! I'll reimburse you for it all!】
Duoduo's originally mechanical electronic voice instantly turned cheerful, and then she immediately reported to Ruan Xiyue: "[Dragon Ze's beast husband's prediction was wrong. The other side actually has thirty-two beastmen.]"
At this moment, they are engaged in a fierce conflict with the orcs of the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe, less than two hundred kilometers from Longze Beastman.
It turned out that after Limiao left the tribe, his uncle sent people from the tribe to secretly follow him.
Meanwhile, the young, talented, and unmarried males sent by the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe to discuss sea salt matters with Ruan Xiyue also set off quickly.
However, they never expected that shortly after passing through Lut Beast City, they would encounter the orcs who had been following Limium fleeing back in panic.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the Great Bamboo Lemur Clan, who controlled the bamboo forest in Lute Beast City, had already caught up with them.
The Great Bamboo Lemur tribe mistakenly believed that the other party was also a beastman investigating the truth behind the extermination of the Iron-Eating Beast tribe, while the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe, having already learned part of the truth, thought that the other party wanted to kill them to silence them.
This led to a fierce conflict between the two sides.
Ruan Xiyue and Jiu Chen had already arrived. She left behind two guards that Xia Weier had given her: "You wait here for the males of the Cheetah Tribe and the males of the Lion Tribe! They are not far from us."
Once the orcs from both tribes arrive, let them rest where they are. Their main focus should be on monitoring the area around Fierce Ear Beast City. If any large bamboo lemurs come from that direction, kill them without mercy!
After making the arrangements, Ruan Xiyue ignored the astonished looks of the crowd and had Qin Ye lead her to run along the valley path between the two mountains.
"How could the Holy Mother know..." one of the red-rank guards couldn't help but voice his doubts.
"Don't ask. It's not something we should know, and you won't get the answer even if you ask. Just focus on the tasks assigned to us by the Holy Mother Xiyue!" Another guard looked warily toward the direction of the Fierce Ear Beast City.
This jungle seemed to be shrouded in a dense, impenetrable curtain of wild grass.
Not long ago, the aftershocks of that thrilling battle were still lingering, and a tragic atmosphere spread like a surging tide, frightening the birds, beasts, insects and ants that were originally active all around to flee in terror. The whole world seemed to have been instantly drained of its vitality, leaving only a suffocating silence.
"Long Ze?" Ruan Xiyue was extremely anxious. Guided by Duo Duo, she hurried along, her eyes sharp, and quickly and accurately locked onto the location of Long Ze and his nine subordinates.
The sight before her eyes made Ruan Xiyue's heart sink, as if she had fallen into an endless ice cellar.
Orcs lay scattered on the ground, two of them already having closed their eyes forever, their life extinguished in this brutal battle. Of the remaining seven, five were unconscious from their severe injuries, their fate unknown.
When Ruan Xiyue's gaze fell upon Long Ze's body, which was covered in cuts and lacerations, her lips involuntarily tightened.
It was as if she was using all her strength to suppress the heartache and anger in her heart. But the surging tears flowed like a burst dam, unstoppable.
"Didn't I bring you medicine? How did you get injured like this!" Ruan Xiyue's voice trembled with tears as she spoke, her words filled with heartache.
Long Ze forced a smile, trying to comfort Ruan Xiyue. But he accidentally aggravated the deep, bone-revealing wound that ran from the corner of his eye all the way to his jaw.
Blood seeped out again instantly, the shockingly hot blood looking particularly gruesome on his slightly pale face.
It turned out that after Long Ze regained consciousness from his serious injuries and was able to move again, he gave half of the healing pills that Ruan Xiyue had prepared for him to the eagle beastman beside him.
If he hadn't been given that half-pill of healing pill back then, there might have been another corpse beside Long Ze.
Long Ze didn't say anything about it. He just stared at Ruan Xiyue with eyes full of endless heartache and joy, as if he wanted to etch her image deep into his heart.
Without hesitation, Ruan Xiyue quickly fed each of the seven surviving orcs a healing pill.
Without hesitation, she popped a mid-grade energy pill into her mouth, her hands trembling slightly as she activated her healing abilities, doing her utmost to treat the most seriously injured orcs.
Ruan Xiyue's eyes were filled with determination, as if at this moment she would use her own strength to fight against death and snatch these orcs back from the other party's control!
