Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

Miao Miao opened her eyes in surprise.

Under the moonlight, a brown-maned lion was fighting with a pack of wolves.

As the youngest warrior of the Lion Clan, Hui quickly drove the wolf pack away with his formidable strength.

Then he transformed into human form, reached out to the seedlings on the tree, and gave them a gentle and tender smile.

"Miaomiao, come down quickly, we're safe now."

"Hui..." Miao Miao cried tears of joy. Without even bothering to climb down the tree, she jumped down and landed steadily in Hui's arms.

"Waaaah, why did it take you so long to wake up? Do you know we almost got eaten by wolves?"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm just too tired," Hui said gently in a low voice, giving Miao Miao a sense of security.

However, where Miao Miao couldn't see, Hui's eyes were sinister, filled with an indescribable coldness.

He had actually woken up long ago, but he didn't open his eyes because he wanted to see if the queen he wholeheartedly supported would stay by his side when faced with a desperate situation.

Unfortunately, he lost his bet.

"What exactly happened? Why haven't any of them come back?"

When this was mentioned, Hui's expression darkened even more.

Why didn't they come back?

This is a good question.

Back in the afternoon.

Hui followed Xiao and rushed out. They hadn't run far when they saw Xiao standing not far away, bending over, doing something.

"Xiao, you're utterly shameless!"

Anger overwhelmed his reason, and without thinking too much, Hui went over to confront him.

But Xiao turned around, his face full of solemnity.

Hui was stunned. Before he could say anything, the ground suddenly shook violently, followed by a clear hiss.

"hold head high--"

Hui and Xiao both turned pale; they knew that sound all too well.

That's the sound of a mammoth.

Mammoths are the largest land animals; an adult mammoth is several times the size of a lion.

Even the young are incomparable to those of other animals.

But this was just a small grassland, and such a large creature would not normally appear here. This was something none of them had expected.

At this moment, the other male beasts also ran over.

"What's wrong? Hui, why have you all stopped moving?"

"Shh..."

Hui turned around and gestured for them to keep their voices down.

However, no one understood his signal. One of the male beasts even said disdainfully, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just catching a few rabbits. Even if the rabbits discover us, they can't escape."

"Since you're so timid and cowardly, you should leave the Queen as soon as possible and let me be your consort!"

"What the Queen needs is a strong husband, not a coward!"

The other male beasts chimed in.

"Yes!"

idiot.

Having lived together for so long, Hui thought these male beasts were just a little jealous and competitive, but she never expected them to be so stupid.

Just then, an even louder neighing reached Hui's ears, and Hui realized that the mammoth was approaching them.

He immediately roared in anger:

"Shut up when I tell you to. If you provoke something we shouldn't, we're all doomed."

However, the tougher Hui's attitude became, the more it provoked the rebellious mentality of the other male beasts.

Someone sneered:

"Ha, who do you think you are? You think you can just shut us up like that? I'd rather say, 'Go ahead and get the Queen to punish us!'"

"Yes, don't think you're superior to us just because you've won the Queen's favor. Once we catch the rabbit, we can still please the Queen just as well."

"You just met the Queen before us."

Hui remained silent.

He really shouldn't be bothered with these people.

He silently retreated, attempting to escape before the mammoth arrived.

Seeing this, Xiao also remained silent and followed him back.

The two looked at each other and, for the first time, saw something called tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

"Hey! Why are you backing away? Are you scared?"

"Seriously? You're even afraid of rabbits? You're a disgrace to us orcs!"

The male beasts were still mocking them, completely oblivious to their own mortality.

Hui ignored them and ran away without looking back.

Once he left, Xiao had no chance of staying, and he escaped even faster than Hui.

The two male beasts, mindful that Miaomiao was waiting for them on the way there, did not choose to run back. Instead, they changed direction and ran wildly towards the other side of the forest.

"Why are you running? Are you really that scared?" one of the male beasts scoffed at their behavior.

Until, a loud howl resounded through the sky.

"hold head high--"

The faces of the male beasts turned completely white in an instant.

"This...this is...a mammoth?!"

"Run!"

The male beasts immediately scattered and ran for their lives.

However, before they could run a few steps, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently, and the male beasts lost their footing and fell to the ground one after another.

"hold head high--"

A towering figure, as large as a small mountain, appeared, its enormous pupils locking onto one of the male beasts. With a flick of its long, white fangs, it impaled one of the male beasts, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.

"what-"

The male beast's screams were only half-finished before it fell completely silent.

The sound of bones breaking rang out one after another.

The remaining male beasts were so frightened that their legs went weak. They managed to get up and try to escape, but the mammoths, who had been watching them closely, stomped on them several times, killing them half their lives.

Faced with mammoths that were as big as small mountains, the male beasts were no match for them. In less than half an hour, all the male beasts that had not escaped were devoured by the hungry mammoths.

After finishing its meal, the mammoth let out a satisfied burp and then wobbled away from this small piece of land.

Only Hui and Xiao escaped the disaster because they ran away early.

The two beasts ran a long way until they were exhausted, then they both transformed back into human form and rested.

Once he had regained some strength, Hui had time to vent his anger. He punched Xiao first, saying, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so impatient, none of us would have gotten into trouble."

They've escaped, but the remaining male beasts are likely in grave danger.

Although those male beasts were pitifully stupid, Hui didn't want them to die.

"Why are you blaming me?" Xiao asked, clearly dissatisfied.

"They were stupid; they made a lot of noise and attracted the mammoths. They deserved to die!"

"You, you have no heart!"

Hui had long been dissatisfied with Xiao, and punched him again.

"Don't pretend to be kind. Don't think I don't know what kind of person you are. You probably wish they were dead!" Xiao stopped holding back and started yelling and fighting with Hui.

He was ultimately not as clever or strong as Hui. Hui bit his neck, tearing off a large chunk of flesh, and he fled in a sorry state.

Exhausted, Hui rested for a long time, thinking of Miaomiao, before finally making his way back step by step.

Unexpectedly, it was just a spur-of-the-moment attempt.

Hui then realized that the female he had been trying so hard to protect had not chosen to stand with him when faced with the test of death; instead, she had abandoned him and gone into a tree by herself.

At this moment, Hui couldn't help but wonder if everything he had done for her was worth it.

[Host, you didn't see how terrible Hui's face looked back then.]

003 nibbled on the fresh bamboo shoots that Ling had specially dug for it, gloating.

Ji Qiuzhe was also somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, he and Ling would accidentally hunt away the wild boar that should have belonged to Miao Miao, and the plot took such a big turn because of this wild boar.
