The Beast World's Pet: The Gorgeous Beast Husband is Too Tempting
Chapter 2 Parting and Death
Most orcs have night vision. In the dim cave, two male orcs guarding the cave shouted, "Luming, why did you sneak into the cave and lie on top of a female?"
Since all the females in the tribe who met the requirements for sacrifice had completed mating overnight, the tribe leader ordered that the only adult unmated female Yan Qiling be strictly guarded without any mistakes, otherwise there would be no sacrifice, the beast spirit god would be angered, and the entire tribe would perish due to lack of water.
Seeing that Lu Ming had no intention of leaving, the guarding orc stepped forward to capture him.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming transformed into a wild beast, the size of an adult gray wolf on Earth, and somewhat similar in appearance to a fox, but with longer ears and a tuft of long hair growing on the tip of the ears. The mouth was not as pointed as a fox's, but slightly rounded and short.
It has the cleverness and cunningness of a fox, and the cuteness of a rabbit. No wonder it is called Fox Rabbit...
This was the first time Yan Qiling had seen a human transform into an animal. He was just marveling at the wonders of the orc world when he heard Lu Ming calling out, "Come up quickly!"
Yan Qiling quickly turned over and jumped onto the back of the gray fox rabbit. Although she was born with a weak constitution, her movements were much more agile than those of humans on Earth.
Lu Ming said softly: "Sit tight!" With an accelerated collision, the two guarding orcs were knocked to the ground before they could change into beast form.
"Stop!" The two orcs quickly turned into a fox and a rabbit, one gray and one black.
"Hurry up and report to the tribe," the black one said and then sped up to chase after Luming, while the gray one ran in another direction.
Yan Qiling grabbed the fluffy and soft fur. The hair needles were flexible and smooth, and the feel was first-class. Compared with Yan Qiling's thin and petite body, Lu Ming's beast form seemed very tall. Lying on his warm and broad back, Yan Qiling had a familiar sense of security.
The trees on both sides quickly passed by and entered the jungle, and the chirping of insects echoed among the trunks and leaves.
The dense forest at night was filled with silver moonlight, and the tranquility was broken by the sound of chasing. The claws of two foxes and rabbits rustled on the dead branches and leaves.
"You can't run away!" shouted the black fox-rabbit orc.
Although Yan Qiling is small in stature, no matter how small he is, if he carries the weight for a long time, Lu Ming will soon run out of energy.
The breath of the orcs chasing behind also became noticeably heavier.
The black fox-rabbit orc and Luming both slowed down, and finally could not run anymore, and stopped in front of a puddle, one after the other.
It hasn't rained for six months, and all the rivers within a radius of hundreds of miles have dried up. Only this pool still has water. Perhaps because the pool is deep and the vegetation is lush around it, the water evaporates more slowly.
Lu Ming whispered, "Ling'er, run, I'll hold them back..." Then he lowered his body and got into a fighting stance.
Yan Qiling jumped off Lu Ming's back and heard the rustling sound of claws stepping on leaves not far away.
Yan Qiling knew that she didn't have much time left.
Because they do not participate in hunting, females have lower aggressiveness, which is equivalent to zero compared to males.
Rather than dying here together, it would be better to seize the time to escape. Without this burden, perhaps Lu Ming could find a chance to escape.
But Lu Ming was doing this entirely for himself. If he couldn't escape and was caught, the anger of the entire tribe would be vented on him.
The two forces among the orcs were confronting each other silently and could erupt at any time.
"Do you think you can run away? Do you hear me? They are already here!" the black fox rabbit warned.
He could tell from Lu Ming's eyes that he was ready for a life-and-death battle, but he did not want to fight a bloody battle with Lu Ming. After all, the support from the tribe was about to arrive, and with the medical conditions in the beast world, the mortality rate was very high once injured in battle.
Yan Qiling's eyes were hesitant, Lu Ming's ears were slightly pressed back, and he growled in a warning tone: "Run, I will find you! Trust me!"
In an instant, Lu Ming pounced fiercely at the black fox-rabbit orc, and the battle broke out in an instant.
Fierce growls mixed with the sound of flesh being torn, and the smell of blood filled the air, drilling into Yan Qiling's nostrils.
"Ouch..." A painful howl was heard, and the two foxes and rabbits rolled into a ball, their figures intertwined in the flying dust...
The crisp and piercing sound of bones breaking pierced Yan Qiling's heart.
"Luming... I'm sorry!" Guilt welled up in his eyes, and Yan Qiling felt his entire nasal cavity burning.
Yan Qiling didn't know which orc the biting and shattering sounds came from. She couldn't bear to look, and she didn't have time to look back. She couldn't waste the time that Lu Ming bought for her.
As Yan Qiling took a step forward, he suddenly felt a surge of power extending to his limbs. In an instant, he had turned into a fox-rabbit covered in white fur.
She ran forward with all her might. Although she was thin and small, she was light and agile. Although she was not as fast as the male orcs, she disappeared into the jungle in a short while.
"Woo..." The black fox rabbit wailed and fell to the ground. Its hind legs twitched unnaturally twice. Blood was gushing out of the two tooth holes on its legs. Lu Ming's canine teeth loosened slightly, and the black hairy neck slipped out of Lu Ming's mouth. Only the skin on the neck was broken. Lu Ming only wanted to hold him back and did not want the lives of his own people.
Smelling Yan Qiling's scent gradually fading away, Lu Ming felt that his skin and flesh were torn in several places and turned inside out in several places. The red and white layers were clearly visible, and he could almost see the muscle fibers. In the most serious place, the bone was visible.
The belated pain tore at him. Lu Ming's front legs staggered several times and he almost fell down in pain. He clenched his canine teeth, silently fighting the pain.
The orcs arrived for support.
"Chase her quickly, the little female is escaping over there!" The orc lying on the ground gestured in the direction Yan Qiling fled.
The supporting orcs ran towards the pool, and a gray figure stood up shakily, blocking their way...
Somewhere in the jungle, a white shadow stopped.
Yan Qiling had not eaten or drunk anything for two days. Food and water were scarce. The tribal guards thought that they would have to sacrifice her in two days anyway, and she would not die from not eating or drinking for two days, so they embezzled the food allocated to her daily.
Her body was trembling and her mouth was extremely dry.
Looking back at the figure that had shrunk to a gray dot, my heart ached.
She looked at her snow-white hair, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
With her speed, even if Lu Ming could hold them back for a while, they would be caught up sooner or later.
Yan Qiling looked around. The trees here were tall and strong, more than ten times taller than the trees on Earth. Even the lemongrass and sage were twice as big as those on Earth.
Yan Qiling ran towards a small path on the side, but turned back after a while.
She looked at the somewhat dry lemongrass at her feet, picked a handful and put it in her mouth to chew it. As she chewed, her mouth was filled with the fresh lemon flavor.
She walked to an exceptionally tall broad-leaved tree and transformed into human form in a breath. She was already able to switch between human and animal forms with ease.
Yan Qiling smeared the lemon-scented powder on her limbs and body. She brushed her hands over the rough bark, took a deep breath, and tightly grasped the protrusions of the bark. She clamped her feet around the trunk and pushed upward with force. She quickly climbed nearly thirty meters.
Broad-leaved trees easily form natural tree holes. Yan Qiling saw a tree hole of suitable size, bent his body, and hid in it.
There was a faint rustling sound coming from under the tree.
