However, before Han Sui could react, the two demonic beasts turned their attention to them and pounced on them.

These two magical beasts were Arida brown bears, over ten meters tall and quite robust. Each step could cover more than ten meters. They walked towards each other, getting closer and closer.

Just then, Han Sui suddenly ordered, "Move out immediately and leave this place at once!"

So, to the astonishment of the hundred or so people, their leader abandoned them and continued running north towards Yunyao City.

Xixi wanted to call Yinyou to follow Han Sui, but when everyone saw that their leader had run away and the monster was chasing after them, they immediately turned around and ran away.

Yin You bumped into the crowd and was scolded: "The boss has run away, so don't be stupid and rush in, or you'll die and no one will collect your body!"

Helpless, Yin You had no choice but to follow the crowd, getting further and further away from Han Sui.

"It's alright, her target is Yunyao City, we will meet again eventually!" Just now, she clearly saw that the other party was holding a small beast in his arms, which looked just like a sharp-toothed wolfhound, only a few sizes smaller.

As expected, the new chieftain of the clownfish was right; his elder brother had indeed stolen the monster cub and gone to Yunyao City to curry favor with a big shot.

However, what was originally Hua Xian's bargaining chip has now become hers. It is unknown whether this was all planned by her from the beginning. If so, then Hua Xian's death is too tragic.

How tragic it is to be used to death by the one you love, without realizing it until the very end, and even to aid and abet the evildoer!

Fortunately, the hillside we initially chose happened to have a natural ravine that was neither deep nor large.

But by sheer coincidence, one of the monsters' legs got stuck, and while another stopped to help it, its leg also got stuck.

The group climbed to the top of the mountain, and together they pushed the boulder down the slope towards where the monster was.

Dust billowed, trees felled, and a roar of pain echoed through the air. No one dared linger. Before the dust had settled and they could get a clear look, they hastily fled across the other side of the hillside.

They ran like mad for half a day, until everyone was exhausted and collapsed one after another, and only then did the escape come to an end.

Suddenly, someone asked, "Where should we go now?"

Yes, where to?

He risked his life to save the boss, only to be betrayed by him the next day.

But if they don't go to seek refuge with the boss, the road back is even more difficult. Not to mention that there is no place for them in Clownfish Village, they will be wanted and hunted down if they go back.

They went through countless hardships and battles along the way, and it took them more than ten days to get here. If they had to turn back, they would have to go through it all again.

They were fed up with their life as refugees in the forest and just wanted to return to a populated tribe as soon as possible.

Finally, Yin You spoke up, "Didn't we agree before that if our leader were to die, we would go to Yun Yao City to stay? As the place where the Holy Female selection takes place, and also the town closest to the Central Continent, its prosperity will definitely exceed our imagination. Don't you want to see it for yourselves?"

"But the boss didn't die after all..."

Everyone felt that their enthusiasm had been betrayed, that they had been used as a shield and a stepping stone... If they had known that their leader would turn out like this after the gender reassignment surgery, they would have preferred that their leader had died, so that he could at least remain in their fond memories.

Little did they know, while they were suffering, Han Sui was suffering even more!

Half a day ago, she was caught between two magical beasts, unable to move forward or backward, and at one point thought she would die in their jaws.

Just then, she suddenly saw her brothers rushing down the hillside; it was as if a god had descended.

Overjoyed, she immediately thought of fighting alongside her brothers, and she had even ordered the beastmen to coordinate their attacks.

But to her surprise, she suddenly saw a male she didn't recognize. He was very handsome, with fair and delicate skin, and he didn't look like one of her kind at all. After all, clownfish beastmen live in shallow waters and their skin is usually wheat-colored, so it's impossible for them to be this fair!

Her heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong. Just then, she saw a hamster crawl out of the male's pocket!

Even though it only peeked out, he could see it clearly—it was a hamster!

After her wrist was injured, she ordered people to investigate Xixi and naturally learned that she came from the Shuoshu tribe, and that her animal form was a dwarf hamster with this disgusting milky yellow color!

In an instant, she trembled with fear and immediately realized that the other party was indeed mixed in with the gang and had come to kill her under the guise of rescuing her!

run! Run!

That was the only thought left in her mind. She frantically urged the beastmen to carry her away, forgetting to leave any message.

At this moment, she was telling herself the reason over and over again, hoping that her brothers could understand her predicament and forgive her. However, she could not communicate telepathically, and no one in the hundred-person group had the ability to read minds. In the end, the reason could not be conveyed.

At this moment, after Yin You's reminder, everyone gradually regained their focus.

"That's right, even if the boss abandons us, are we just going to die? She's not our wife, and we're not going to die just because she's abandoned!"

"Exactly! We should be glad we saw through her early on, instead of becoming her beastly husband and then being abandoned. At that point, we'd have nowhere to cry!"

"I think Yunyao City is prosperous and wealthy, a good place to live. Although the prices are high, which of us brothers doesn't have some savings? We can live comfortably there for a year or two without any problem. If we are lucky enough to be appreciated by some holy lady and taken in directly, wouldn't we be like phoenixes flying up the branches? Not only can we live in Yunyao City permanently, but we will never have to worry about making a living again!"

“That makes sense! Yunyao City holds a preliminary selection every year, and this year is the millennium selection. There will definitely be a lot of holy maidens produced. We brothers are all good enough to be noticed by a female!”

"Hehe... I'm already thirty-four this year, and I've never even held a female's hand. Just thinking about it makes me excited if I could really be chosen by the Holy Female!"

The group laughed and chatted, shaking off their previous dejected state, and quietly disappeared back into the crowd, keeping their achievements and fame hidden.

After a while of laughter and joking, someone asked, "How far are we from Yunyao City?"

This was precisely the question that Xixi was concerned about, and her ears involuntarily perked up.

Someone spread out a map and gestured on it, saying, "We're here now. If we keep walking along this road, at our speed, we should be there in about three or four days!"

Three or four days? That means victory is in sight!

The group's spirits rose even higher. After a short rest and some food, they set off again.

This time, however, they moved forward at their own pace, no longer running desperately, nor searching everywhere with their eyes wide open.
