Bai Susu used her identity as the city lord to observe the situation in the tribes surrounding the Beast City. Today, when she was patrolling the bamboo rat tribe, it happened that more than a dozen female bamboo rats were about to give birth to cubs.

In order to check the situation and obtain the progress of the mission, Bai Susu stayed in the Bamboo Rat Tribe.

The bamboo rat tribe is not very strong in combat. During the mating season, when the females give birth to cubs, they become the target of stray animals. Bai Susu and her husbands Jin Kaisi, Lan You, and Cang Xiao patrol around the tribe to protect the safety of the bamboo rat tribe.

When Bai Susu and the beastmen returned to the Bamboo Rat Tribe after patrolling a few times, the entrance to the tribe was suddenly blown open, and a bamboo rat beastman guarding the entrance was thrown in front of Bai Susu.

The orc stood up and looked at her in horror: "City, City Lord, the stray beasts are coming!"

"How could that be?" Bai Susu turned her head and stared at the door, and saw stray animals roaming around in the bamboo rat tribe. They had a sinister smile on their faces, which was terrifying.

Cang Xiao's face was solemn. "When I was patrolling around the tribe just now, I didn't find any traces of these stray beasts. How come so many of them suddenly appeared?"

These stray beasts were basically three-lined or below. With their level of five-lined beasts, they could immediately sense these guys as soon as they appeared, but they didn't detect any breath at all.

Lan You's eyes were also heavy. "What's going on? I've checked everywhere around here, and there's no trace of these guys. How did they manage to hide so secretly?"

Bai Susu didn't know either. Jin Caisi, who was standing beside her, said, "These guys showed up here at this time because they're targeting the pregnant females and cubs."

At this time of year every year, large numbers of bamboo rats are captured and eaten, but bamboo rats have strong reproductive abilities, so they are not exterminated.

Bai Susu: "There are more than a dozen females in this tribe giving birth to cubs. We must not let these guys in and disturb them."

Lan You: "Susu, these stray beasts are strange. They didn't attack us."

Susu also noticed that these stray beasts surrounded them but did not attack them. Before she could speak, a stray fox beast spoke first: "Our king wants to see the city lord."

"King?" Bai Susu and the beastmen looked at each other, wondering when a king appeared among the stray beasts?

Jin Cais: "Who is your king?"

As soon as he finished speaking, these stray beasts made way and a red snake python appeared. He transformed into an orc form and that handsome face came into view. Bai Susu's pupils suddenly dilated.

Huanyan looked at Bai Susu with a deep smile on her face: "Female, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Bai Susu's pupils trembled: "It's you!"

Seeing that the other party still remembered her, Huanyan felt relieved: "It's me."

He knew Bai Susu didn't recognize him, so he introduced himself as soon as he came up: "My name is Huanyan, and I'm the king of these stray beasts."

As soon as Huanyan appeared, Bai Susu understood why they had not discovered these stray beasts during their several patrols around the area. This guy had a magical weapon on him, and maybe he used the magical weapon to hide the breath and traces of the stray beasts.

Lan You said: "Susu, this guy gathered these stray beasts and became their king. I'm afraid he has some conspiracy."

Bai Susu didn't care who the other party was. Just the fact that it was a stray beast was enough to make them wary.

As soon as the other party appeared, Bai Susu's beastmen immediately rushed over and protected her behind them. The beastmen beside her also stood in front of Bai Susu and said, "Hurry and protect the city lord."

Huanyan called out behind her, "Come out, everyone."

Behind him, stray beasts and mutated beasts responded and entered the tribe, surrounding Bai Susu and the beastmen. This time, Bai Susu only brought a few orcs with her, and the orcs of the Bamboo Rat Tribe were not naturally strong in combat.

Each tribe is no match for a three-striped stray beast, and they are all weak fighters. These stray beasts are more numerous than them. If a real fight breaks out, Bai Susu can repel the enemy, but at this time she cannot take care of the females who are giving birth in the tribe.

Beside them, the beastmen of the bamboo rat tribe saw the stray beasts coming, but did not run away, but stood up bravely.

"Female, don't be nervous. I'm not here to fight against you. I don't want a "war". We prioritize peace." Huanyan expressed her attitude to Bai Susu.

Lan You: "You are a stray beast. Everyone knows how ferocious stray beasts are. Who knows if you said this to attract our attention and then take the opportunity to harm the females and cubs."

Huanyan looked at Lanyou and raised her hands: "Don't be nervous, I really won't hurt you."

Huanyan waved his hand, asking the stray beasts and mutant beasts behind him to retreat. He assured Bai Susu: "Don't worry, these guys all obey my orders, they won't harm you."

Bai Susu glanced at the stray beasts and mutated beasts and saw that there was a thumb-sized thing on the necks. Bai Susu looked at her and thought: System, let's detect what's on these guys?

After the system detects: [Host, it's the controller! These guys are all controlled by this guy.]

Bai Susu came back to her senses. No wonder this guy was so confident that these stray animals would obey his orders.

However, due to the other party's identity, Bai Susu did not dare to let her guard down, let alone trust the other party casually.

Bai Susu's face was cold: "What is your purpose in coming to the Bamboo Rat Tribe?"

Huanyan looked her up and down and said, "I came here to see you."

"What do you want from me?" Before knowing the other party's purpose, Bai Susu didn't dare to be distracted. After all, the other party also had a lot of magical weapons on him.

Huanyan pointed at the snake mark on Bai Susu's wrist and said, "Do you still remember the mark I left on you?"

Bai Susu glanced at the mark, her face turned grim, and she subconsciously hid the mark in her sleeve. She understood that the mark meant that the other party wanted to become her partner.

After being marked by the snake beast, he could find her no matter where she was. Now he came here with great effort, probably just for this matter.

Bai Susu pretended to understand nothing: "I don't know what the mark is, what nonsense are you talking about."

Huanyan saw through Bai Susu. He smiled faintly and raised his left hand slightly. There was also a white snake pattern on his wrist. The snake pattern was slightly red, and his skin felt hot.

Huan Yan exposed Bai Susu: "Stop pretending, you know everything. This mark will make your skin burn when I get close to you. It's impossible for you not to feel it. You just don't want to pay attention to me."

Bai Susu: "Since you know I don't want to bother with you, why don't you leave now!"

"Even if you have a divine weapon, if I want to kill you, I have a way."

Bai Susu threatened that some females in the bamboo rat tribe behind her were in the process of giving birth, and they could not be affected in any way and could not take action in the tribe.

She could only lure these guys out of the Bamboo Rat Tribe first before taking action against them. She snorted coldly, "If there's anything, let's talk about it after we get out of this tribe."

Huanyan was afraid that Bai Susu would escape: "Don't bother with that. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Huanyan knew that Bai Susu, as the city lord, had been paying close attention to the surrounding tribes recently, especially the females who were pregnant with cubs. Here, she could better restrain Bai Susu and achieve her own goals.

Huanyan said calmly: "City Lord, I want to be your partner and share the artifact with you."
