Hu Bai no longer recognized Mei Luoli and attacked him quickly. Mei Luoli controlled himself and stood still, ready to sacrifice himself.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang in my ears: "Brother! Get out of the way!"

Mei Wuzhi rescued Mei Luoli at the critical moment. He turned around and clawed Hu Bai. Even after the mutation, Hu Bai was still afraid of Mei Wuzhi, the king of beasts. It could feel the breath of the seal of the king of beasts on Mei Wuzhi.

"Roar--" Fox Bai grinned and roared, his eyes fierce and cold.

The beast wizard panicked: "Hurry and protect the Beast King!"

Some warriors from the fox tribe rushed forward to stop the mutant beast, but they were no match for it and could only hold it back for a while.

Mei Luoli saw that he was still alive. He looked at Mei Wuzhi in surprise and said, "Why? I framed you and took away your position as the Beast King. Now that you've become like this, why are you still saving me?"

Mei Wuzhi's face turned pale. If he had been slower, his brother would have been beheaded. His eyes reddened, and he felt sorry for Mei Luoli: "Because you are my brother, I know the grievances you have suffered, and I know how difficult it is for you."

"I understand even more clearly that my brother is kind-hearted, which is why he struggled for so long under the temptation of his inner demon."

Mei Wuzhi grabbed Mei Luoli's hand. In his eyes, no matter what his brother became, he was still the brother who treated him so well. He choked up and said, "Our enemies have never been our own people or our beast kin, but stray beasts and mutant beasts. That's why I won't attack you."

"The fact that you're still sane proves that you've been working hard. I believe you can overcome your inner demons and return to the way you were before. In my eyes, you've always been the most powerful warrior of the tribe."

Mei Luoli's nose felt sore, his eyes reddened, his brows furrowed slightly, a wave of grievance and sadness leaping into his heart: "Do you really think so?"

Mei Wuzhi nodded and said, "There are more than a dozen of us brothers and sisters, and now we are the only ones left. We should unite instead of fighting each other. I know that my brother was very kind to me when we were young.

Now you are just temporarily bewildered by the trapped beast. I don't blame you. In fact, my brother has always been the pride of me, my parents and I. Brother, please come back. I need you."

Tears flowed uncontrollably from Mei Luoli's eyes. For the first time, she felt recognized and needed.

Seeing Mei Luoli like this, Mei Wuzhi regretted not telling his brother these words earlier. His brother usually disguised himself very well, and he was unable to discover his brother's grievances in time, so his brother would not be like this.

Mei Wuzhi hugged Mei Luoli, thinking in his heart how to call his brother back and help him become a five-patterned beast.

He pulled out a scale from his arms and explained, "I've never had the chance to give you this. Your parents have been trying to figure out how to make your legs like those of normal orcs."

“They heard that mermaid scales had healing properties, so they went to the mermaid tribe and exchanged some of their own strength for scales.

Because of this, my mother and several of my fathers were killed by mutant beasts when they were attacked while protecting the tribe due to weakening of their strength."

Mei Luoli took the scale, tears in his eyes. He looked at the scale in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion.

Seeing his brother's sanity gradually recovering, Mei Wuzhi had an idea in his mind. He rushed towards Hu Bai and fought with him. In a few moves, he was knocked away by Hu Bai and was injured and vomiting blood.

"Fox King!" The fox orcs were panicked when General Mei Wuzhi was injured.

When Mei Wuzhi raised his eyes, a smile flashed in his eyes. Hu Bai was no match for him at all, but he did it on purpose. Seeing the fox orcs protecting him, he hurriedly said, "Everyone retreat and find a place to hide. No one is allowed to come here without my order!"

The Beast Wizard was a little confused when he saw this. Although he didn't know what Mei Wuzhi's intention was, he knew that Hu Bai was no match for Mei Wuzhi, so he hurriedly took his people away.

Seeing Hu Bai attacking Mei Wuzhi again, he stared at the front with a cold look, neither fighting back nor dodging. The opponent's pair of sharp claws were across his head, and it was only a palm's distance away from piercing his head.

However, Hu Bai's hand stopped in the air and did not fall. Mei Luoli came to Mei Wuzhi's side without knowing when. He grabbed Hu Bai's hand with both hands, and the aura around him suddenly became cold: "Don't hurt Wuzhi."

Mei Wuzhi looked up and saw that his brother Mei Luoli had blocked the attack for him, with blood dripping on his face. Mei Luoli's face was half terrifying and half handsome, but filled with a gentle smile.

This is still that familiar brother...

Mei Luoli grabbed Hu Bai and threw him hard against a stone pillar. The sound of broken bones was heard instantly. Hu Bai struggled to get up, no longer feeling the pain.

The only thought in his mind was to kill the fox orcs.

Mei Luoli turned around and pulled Mei Wuzhi back: "Wuzhi, you are the beast king of the fox tribe, you can't die."

He smiled and said, "Brother is here. Let's protect the tribe together and protect those weak females and cubs."

Mei Wuzhi smiled and nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, the two brothers fought side by side. Mei Luoli grabbed Mei Wuzhi's hand, then grabbed Mei Wuzhi and spun him around, using the force to throw Mei Wuzhi out.

Mei Wuzhi attacked Hu Bai, kicked Hu Bai in the face, then showed his fox claws and stabbed Hu Bai's eyes. He glanced at Mei Luoli behind him, deliberately holding back his strength and not killing Hu Bai instantly.

He wants to set an example by himself, use himself to call back the kindness in his brother's heart and make his brother return to normal.

At this time, the voice of the inner demon sounded again in Mei Luoli's mind.

【Meilori, what are you doing! 】

[Don't you hate Mei Wuzhi? And the orcs in the tribe? Why are you still protecting them?]

【Listen to me, kill them and become strong! 】

Mei Luoli sneered, unwilling to be bewitched by his inner demons. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "I have never considered killing my tribe. I wanted to become stronger to protect them, become a useful male, gain their recognition, and let everyone know that even if I don't have talent, I can achieve my wish through my own efforts."

"To harm the weak is not what the strong do."

After saying that, Mei Luoli rushed to Mei Wuzhi and fought side by side with his brother. At this moment, he understood that even if he was not strong, as long as he made a choice and decided to protect the tribe, he would be a strong man.

A strong person is never defined by strength.

"Brother!" Mei Wuzhi called out, half-kneeling in front of him. Mei Luoli understood what he meant, leaped forward, and used Mei Wuzhi's shoulder to gain leverage to attack Hu Bai.

He stabbed Hu Bai's heart with one claw, then Mei Wuzhi grasped the dagger in his hand and cut off Hu Bai's head, killing him instantly.

"It's finally over." At this moment, Mei Luoli was promoted to a five-patterned beast. The disgusting and terrifying things on his face disappeared, and his handsome face returned.

Mei Luoli realized that his strength had broken through, and a steady stream of power surged out. The divine stone behind him emitted golden light, enveloping him. Then he discovered that his body had changed, and his shortened legs were slowly growing. At this moment, he was no different from a normal fox.

Mei Wuzhi said in surprise: "Brother, you have been promoted successfully!"

Mei Luoli looked back at Mei Wuzhi, a smile on his face: "Wuzhi, I have been promoted to the Five Marks. From now on, I will be your support."
