Upon hearing the voice, Tiger Cub, who was following behind, immediately grabbed her excitedly, "Brother...you're back from hunting..."

Although Tiger Cub can speak, his expression is still quite poor. It is evident that beastmen still face some limitations before they have fully transformed.

"We're back from hunting!" Lin Dujuan exclaimed excitedly as she packed her things.

The men returned from their hunt, unsure of how the trip had gone.

The group hugged and carried their newfound treasure and ran quickly home.

All around, countless people rushed toward the road leading from the village entrance to the back mountain.

This road is the only way for warriors returning from the hunt.

Over time, this place became the only way to welcome warriors.

A dense crowd surged in from all directions, standing neatly and excitedly along the roadside.

The bugle call was still sounding sharply. Before long, some of the wounded were carried down one after another.

"Two people died this time. Hammer's dad died in an accident. And Flax's dad is gone too, sigh!"

When the injured or dead people were carried off the stage, everyone present had a solemn expression.

Women and elderly people began to sob and whimper.

Many people could not offer comfort, but could only look sadly at the two families, or those who were injured.

“We can’t avoid these kinds of accidents every time we go hunting. But I never expected that two people would die this time. It’s not common for more than two people to die on a hunting trip in our village.”

"On one side," Tiger Mom said somewhat sadly.

Lin Dujuan looked at the two women who were crying so hard they were almost fainting. Beside them were elderly people with white hair and several children who were not yet fully transformed, like Huwa. Only their animal forms were visible in their sight.

"What will happen to these old women and children now that their husbands are dead?"

Tiger Mom wiped away her tears. "There's no need to worry about that. Although the tribe is poor, they still take care of the families of these fallen warriors. A portion of the prey from each hunt goes to them. As for the two females who have lost their men, they'll soon have new partners, and many of these females aren't even male. In fact, like that Hammer's wife, she lives with Hammer and Mud. Those children can't even tell whose child is whose..."

Uh, hybrid!

Lin Dujuan's sympathy immediately took a different turn, and it was hard to tell what it felt like.

"There are few females here. Actually, nobody wants to have too many partners, but if it's one-on-one, many males will be single. Every year at the coming-of-age ceremony, the males fight fiercely for the right to mate with females. For example, you..."

At this point, Tiger Mom's eyes welled up with tears. "For example, you, although you are nominally Tiger Fang's wife now, in fact, if Tiger Fang does not evolve into a perfect human body during the coming-of-age ceremony, he will lose the right to mate with you."

Lin Dujuan was secretly delighted. No mating? Perfect! She didn't want to mate with a wild beast... or anything like that. But outwardly, she had to keep a straight face. "Then, what if Tiger Fang successfully transforms?"

Tiger Mom shrugged, her voice low and somewhat helpless. "If the transformation is successful, he will compete with all the other males in this batch who have successfully transformed for your mating rights. Any male who takes a liking to you will have to fight for you to mate with you. Whoever emerges victorious will be your hero. I hope that Tiger Fang can successfully win you over at your coming-of-age ceremony in a hundred days, mate with you, and produce a perfect offspring. After three years, as long as you don't abandon Tiger Fang, you'll be a stable member of our family..."

Uh, so there are fewer female orcs, which is why the males are so fiercely competing for mating rights during their coming-of-age ceremony.

Imagine a group of males surrounding her, their eyes bloodshot, their bodies naked, some even with their penises dangling, all wanting to mate with her… Lin Dujuan secretly wiped away her sweat, feeling that the scene was terrifying.

The wounded were all carried away.

The cries faded into the distance, leaving behind only a vast, expectant crowd. A moment later, the sound of thunderous footsteps echoed again.

"So many horned beasts, and long-tailed beasts too, how come there are so many wild animals?"

Looking at the warriors who had returned carrying enormous beasts, Lin Dujuan sighed inwardly.

The raw strength of men is simply immense.

Look at what he's carrying, it must weigh at least four or five hundred pounds.

The whole beast, and the dinosaurs that disappeared in modern times and became fossils.

Several wild animals were brought back; they had long fangs and looked very fierce.

"I've heard that the warriors encountered a new king beast on this expedition. The arrival of that beast caused changes in the wild animals in many places, leading to attacks from unfamiliar creatures. That's how Hammer Dad and the others died and were injured. The injuries were quite severe. Uncle Tiger said that many of them will need to be nursed back, which means many of us will have to be careful with our food in the coming days..."

This topic was clearly a bit off-topic, and many elderly people looked somber after hearing the news.

The children also sensed the oppressive atmosphere. Their earlier joy was gone, and they stood obediently to the side, watching the men carrying the wild beasts return.

When the golden tiger, weighing seven or eight hundred pounds and whose gait seemed to make the ground tremble, appeared before them, Lin Dujuan covered her mouth. Only then did she realize how majestic and auspicious her tiger's teeth were.

Its towering tiger-like body, its majestic eyes, its resolute strides...

However, when Huya's eyes met hers, he paused for a moment, then his imposing manner vanished, and in a few strides, the large tiger was right in front of her. He swung his tail, bared his teeth, and stared blankly at her.

Lin Dujuan was at a loss for what to do when she saw his adorable, innocent look.

“This child wants you to touch him…” Tiger Mom quickly spoke up for her son.

"Ah... Tiger Fang, welcome back. I'm so glad you're alright."

Lin Dujuan quickly reached out to touch the smooth fur of the tiger's teeth.

Upon touching it, the tiger's teeth grinned again.

Those two sharp canine teeth looked particularly dazzling under the scorching sunlight.

People around him chuckled.

"This kid is already trying to flirt with his girlfriend. He's so happy, it makes me very happy too."

Tiger Fang squinted contentedly, and as Lin Dujuan withdrew her hand, he gazed at her affectionately, his front paws slowly bending down, his entire body lying on the ground. But his head remained proudly raised, looking up at Lin Dujuan…
