The bean sprouts in the beastly world are trying to steal the beastly husband again!

The next morning.

Nan Yue woke up to the smell of meat. When she realized that it was already dawn, she sat up abruptly.

"Hook, aren't you going hunting today?"

At this moment, Hu Ke was cooking meat paste in a clay pot. Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled.

"Since you've been discovered, there's no need to get up so early. Besides, you were pretty tired last night."

That's it!

Nan Yue relaxed immediately. They really had no time to rest now. They had to hunt as much as possible. The large amount of food and animal skins needed for the rainy and cold seasons had to be stored up early.

She felt it was a sin to take one more day off.

After stretching, she changed her clothes and climbed up from the animal skin mat.

Today, Hu Ke actually ground the rice and cooked it together with the mashed meat, and added some green plants on top for garnish.

“Isn’t this a waste of time?”

Nan Yue looked at the rice that was almost the same size as in her previous life after being crushed, and couldn't help swallowing.

"The food that females eat is very delicate. We didn't have the time or conditions before, but we will be more delicate in the future."

Hu Ke took out a wooden bowl and spoon, scooped a full bowl and handed it to Nan Yue, then transformed into a beast and went to the corner to eat the prey he had caught yesterday.

After eating and drinking, the two men left the tribe.

The outskirts of the mountain range are a little different today, and Nanyue can’t tell what’s different.

It just feels... a little too quiet?

As they walked along, they did not encounter any wild animals except for a few mountain rabbits that were half a man's height and extremely fast.

"Huke, do you feel anything is wrong?" Nan Yue lowered her body and asked in Hu Ke's ear.

Most of the time, they communicate in this way to avoid scaring away less courageous prey or attracting more powerful beasts.

Fox paused, his leaden eyes staring around vigilantly, "Hmm, I smell the scent of strange orcs."

Strange orc...

Nan Yue's heart skipped a beat. When there were no conflicts between the tribes in the Beast World, they would each guard their own territory.

In the hunting area of ​​the Fox Tribe, the scent of strange orcs was smelled. They were either wandering orcs, or females from other tribes who were traveling with their orc husbands and temporarily settled there.

According to experience, the first possibility is more likely.

"Don't be afraid. If you encounter danger, go first."

Hu Ke naturally knew what Nan Yue was thinking, and comforted her: "It may not be a stray orc. Remember what I told you before about how to quickly hide and return to the tribe?"

Nan Yue bit her lower lip and said, "Remember."

They had anticipated this situation a long time ago and had made some plans.

When taking the little female out of the tribe to hunt, Hu Ke had already been prepared for unexpected events.

At this moment, the outskirts of the mountain were unusually quiet. Nan Yue held a bow and arrow in his hand, preparing to attack, while Hu Ke's footsteps continued to move slowly backwards.

At the same time, on an ancient tree, a python as thick as a well and covered with black scales was spitting out its tongue and looking at the two people in the distance in a playful manner as if they were afraid of everything.

"Females...shouldn't they all be in the tribe?"

"Such a skinny female, can she lay snake eggs? Forget it, she's too skinny to keep alive."

The black python's vertical pupils stared at Nan Yue for a long while before slowly looking away.

He is the stray beastman Xuanwei, but he has always believed that he is a good stray beast and would never do something like stealing females.

Besides, he came here this time to find out what kind of ferocious beast this time with the remaining beast could attract. His target was female beast crystals, female beast crystals with green or even blue rings.

Only such beast crystals could make the most beautiful female sea creatures willing to accept his identity.

He crawled on the ground, waiting for the return of the hunting party.

......

Hu Ke and Nan Yue waited for a long time, but they didn't see any stray orcs appearing or attacking, so they couldn't help but feel relieved.

"It should be harmless." Fox explained.

Nan Yue: "Then let's go back. No hunting today!"

Fox nodded. Regardless of whether the strange orcs had malicious intent or not, there was no guarantee of safety unless they showed up to negotiate.

I can feel more at ease if I return to the tribe earlier.

Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, the ancient tree in the distance moved, and a giant python with shiny scales suddenly rushed into the depths of the mountains.

Nan Yue was shocked!

Snake, no! It's a python! A wandering orc! It's really a wandering orc!

Hu Ke's eyes widened in an instant and he quickly ran towards the tribe.

Nan Yue grabbed Hu Ke's hair tightly, her heart was shocked.

Is that python going to become a spirit? Why is it so big?!

As she ran wildly, her hair was flying wildly. Fox's speed was faster than usual. As she was bumpy, she could faintly hear the screams that were unique to orcs.

It was heart-wrenching and scared away countless birds.

"Hook, it's the voice of the orcs."

Hu Ke was silent for a while, then stopped, climbed up an old tree, and placed Nan Yue on the trunk: “Well, I heard it.

That wandering orc must be after the beast that the hunting team hunted this time."

The hunting team has been heading to the Misty Forest for several days. There is a Misty Forest deep in the mountains, and it is not far away.

Judging from the time, the hunting team should be back!

For a moment, Fox didn't know whether he should be glad that the wandering orcs didn't target his little female, or sad that it would be difficult for anyone in this hunting team to survive.

"Aren't we going to tell the tribe?"

The shrill screams continued, and Nan Yue clenched her fists even harder.

This group of wandering orcs were just like bandits! They burned, killed, and looted! The hunting team had fought so hard for their lives, but they just swallowed up the fruits of their labor!

Fox shook his head: "It's too late. Even if the tribe came, they would not be a match for that stray orc."

As Hu Ke spoke, he took out some stinky grass from a hide bag, squeezed out the juice and smeared it on Nan Yue's body.

Nan Yue couldn't help but shrink back at the touch of her skin.

"Nanyue, don't move. Hide your scent. Wait until the stray beasts leave. We need to see if there are any surviving orcs."

Hu Ke had a serious look on his face, but his ears had already turned red.

When Nan Yue heard this, she realized that time was precious, so she quickly picked up a piece of stinky grass and smeared it on her body.

He didn't stop until the only smell of grass leaves was left on his body.

At this time, the rapid "trampling" sound and the rustling sound of grass and trees being scratched by something were getting closer and closer.

Nan Yue suddenly became tense, and Hu Ke was ready to transform into a beast to support the hunting team at any time.

"Don't go, Hu Ke." Nan Yue grabbed Hu Ke's arm.

She only has Fox. Although saving people is important, she knows that Fox is no match for the giant python. She can't let him die in exchange for the survival of another orc.

Hu Ke pursed his lips, his eyes dark and unclear, and said "hmm" softly.

Little female, are you worried about him?

Soon, an elk covered in blood ran out from the depths of the mountains, with a weak bear hanging on his body.

"Knox..."

Nan Yue was stunned. He didn't expect that when the hunting team was attacked by the giant python, only he rushed out, and he brought the little crippled beast with him...

Before she could react, the next second, a bloody mouth bit towards Knox.

"Take out all the female beast crystals! I can let you go."

The python made a sharp turn and blocked Knox's way.
