The hissing sounds around them suddenly grew louder, and pairs of eyes hidden in the shadows glowed red as Jingran regarded them as prey.

However, due to the divine power flowing from the indigo plant, they cautiously stood aside, looking for an opportunity to strike decisively.

"The snake tongue grass has been harvested. It's dangerous here. You must leave with me immediately."

After Niu Dian finished speaking, he used his divine power to lift Qiao Yaoyao up, throw her on his back, and was about to fly away with a burst of strength.

But ever since Niu Dian told Saiqi to shut up, her eyes have been darting around.

Those bear-like beasts are not to be trifled with.

What's so great about a beast?

If it weren't for the fact that he was a witch doctor, she and Grey would have killed him!

'Kiki, we can't do it.'

After orcs form a bond, their bond will upgrade after a long period of physical and mental unity. Depending on the upgrade, they will be able to communicate with each other at different times and distances.

This function works best, especially immediately after the two people have become one.

Before meeting Qiao Yaoyao and the others, Saiqi and Huijing were enjoying the scenery in the trees.

So at this moment, Hui Jing can hear her thoughts.

Fearing that Saiqi would be angry, he continued in his mind, 'Besides their tough hides and strong limbs, the bull tribe is also very powerful. Especially their horns; if we really fought, we might not come out on top.'

"Besides, given the Bull Clan's reproductive capabilities and their status within the tribe, we'd probably be kicked out. And... Kiki, didn't you want him to be your beast mate?"

"Ah! Hui Jing, stop talking! How could I not know! I can't kill Niu Dian, and I can't stand by and watch that bitch Qiao Yaoyao be so smug!"

Saiqi was gritting her teeth and getting angry at Huijing when she saw Niu Dian carrying Qiao Yaoyao on his back, preparing to leave.

A sudden thought struck her: 'Grey King, lend me your power!'

Hui Jing was somewhat puzzled, but he still obediently listened and transferred his Beast God power to Sai Qi through the Partner Contract.

When partners use each other's beast god power, there is a backlash, and sufficient physical intimacy is required each time to counteract it.

Therefore, he would never hesitate to do something like this.

'Hehehe....'

'Kiki, let's not go back to the cave today.'

Saiqi ignored him and, while everyone was flying, concentrated the borrowed power of the Beast God in her palm. Then, as Niu Dian leaped into the air...

It struck straight at Qiao Yaoyao.

"what!"

"Qiao Yaoyao—"

"boom!"

Qiao Yaoyao, who was sitting comfortably, suddenly felt as if she had been slapped in the face by something.

Then, she felt a sudden loss of weight and fell from mid-air to the ground.

Fortunately, the grass was quite lush, and she was lucky enough not to land on the thorny grass.

Niu Dian reacted the instant Qiao Yaoyao was knocked down.

However, orcs, using the power of the Beast God, can leap up to 100 meters.

Not to mention, he had originally decided to leave as soon as possible, and used a lot of the Beast God's power in his legs. By the time he forced himself to land, he was already hundreds of meters away from that forest.

Because of the forced stop, the enormous inertia caused the bull's front paws to hit the ground.

After a short gliding distance, bloody scratches appeared on his legs.

"Dr. Niu Dian! How did Qiao Yaoyao suddenly fall?! Didn't you use your divine power to protect her?"

Huang Wu also made a sudden, forced landing, and he was also badly injured, but he immediately ran to Niu Dian's side.

"We must go back and save her!"

Niu Dian nodded, not having time to deal with their minor injuries. Suppressing his self-blame and confusion, he used his divine power to stabilize Qiao Yaoyao on his back. Unless attacked, she would never fall off.

But whoever did it, it was because he was careless and didn't completely cover Qiao Yaoyao with divine power.

He had gone too far. He felt the herbs and hoes on his back. He hadn't forgotten to protect all these inanimate objects, yet he had neglected a living person.

However, Niu Dian knew that now was not the time to blame himself. He should find Qiao Yaoyao first and apologize to her in person, hoping that nothing bad would happen to her!

He once again mustered his divine power, preparing to return, but was stopped by someone.

"Witch doctor! Fifth brother! Where are you going?"

Huang San recklessly charged at Niu Dian in his beast form.

That's how Niu Dian, who had just jumped up, was knocked down.

Niu Dian's usually calm eyes were now filled with rage. "How dare you lay a hand on a witch doctor!"

"Go away!"

Niu Dian didn't want to say another word to Huang San, so he used the power of the Beast God and kicked him in the stomach.

The big yellow rabbit was kicked far away.

The gray wolf and Saiqi, who followed him down, silently retreated a little.

Saiqi twisted her feverish body; the backlash was truly unbearable.

'Grey Respect, um... let's go.'

The gray wolf's tail stood up instantly, and it carried Saiqi away.

Huang Wu looked at his cousin, who had crashed to the ground in the distance, with some hesitation, and then at Niu Dian's back, which was now just a shadow of green.

Then they chased after Niu Dian in that direction.

Watching the yellow rabbit's afterimage vanish in an instant, Huang San in the pit slowly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"I just didn't want that wicked witch doctor to waste time, what did I do wrong?"

"Everyone in the tribe clearly wants Qiao Yaoyao to die! It's not just me who thinks this way!"

“Grandmother’s health is the most important thing. It’s that woman who is stupid and wicked. She wasted time looking for herbs and fell down on her own, deliberately delaying things.”

"Huang Wu must be insane, the witch doctor is insane too, I'm not wrong! I'm not wrong!"

He stubbornly made excuses for himself to cover up his fear.

Then he slowly crawled out, using his divine power to support his body, and chased after the direction in which the two had disappeared.

He had to apologize to the witch doctor; that wicked woman deserved to die, but he shouldn't have acted rashly towards the witch doctor out of haste.

Offending the tribal priesthood is a grave taboo.

He doesn't care if he's punished, because he did nothing wrong!

But if the witch doctor gets angry and implicates the maternal grandmother, that would be bad.

If it were a shaman from the past, he certainly wouldn't have blurred the lines between public and private matters like this, but now, Niu Dian, well, he's not so sure.

Qiao Yaoyao was completely unaware of the little incident that happened on their end.

Because she was holding a military knife in one hand and a tranquilizer gun in the other, she had already killed seven or eight venomous snakes in a few dodges.

Just kidding, she's been living in the mountains for so many years, and when it comes to facing a crisis, she's incredibly quick, accurate, and ruthless!

Generally, venomous snakes in the mountains will not attack humans unless provoked, because snakes are quite intelligent creatures and know that eating humans is not worthwhile for them.

But venomous snakes are most ferocious when someone trespasses into their territory. At such times, they won't eat people, but they will still bare their fangs and spray venom.

Kill one, and you're done.

Unfortunately, Qiao Yaoyao is currently seen as an intruder, and a venomous snake from the beast world at that.

They love to eat people!

Qiao Yaoyao relied entirely on her strong survival instinct to defend herself.

She was furious inside, thinking, "Why isn't Niu Dian coming to save her yet?"

She's a big person, surely she could feel it if she fell.

Perhaps because Qiao Yaoyao's weapon was too strange and her attacks were too ruthless, many snakes temporarily retreated, their heads raised high, staring intently at her, looking for an opportunity.

Qiao Yaoyao stepped on the bar she had just used. This kind of grass is also called "snake retreat," and snakes usually avoid it.

She collected very few snakes, at least compared to the number that attacked her, it was negligible, but at least it gave her a little sense of security.

"Hehe, you little female even know about herbs." A soft, murmured voice, tinged with curiosity, came from above the tree in front of Qiao Yaoyao.

Qiao Yaoyao gripped the knife in her hand warily.

The other hand, hidden behind his back, gripped the tranquilizer gun tightly.

Qiao Yaoyao could see what was being spoken.

It was a beastman with a human body and a snake tail. The emerald green snake tail was hanging upside down from a tree branch, and its green eyes, slightly darker than its hair, were staring at her.

Then, seeing her bloodied hand, her rosy lips curved into a smile, and she spoke softly, letting out a hissing sound.

In an instant, the group of snake heads that had been surrounding Qiao Yaoyao and eyeing her menacingly descended.

They all turned and left.

Qiao Yaoyao tilted her head in confusion, looking at the green-haired handsome man in the tree.

This man was really handsome, with large, dark green, phoenix-like eyes and pale, grayish skin, but because of his large, bulging muscles, he didn't look sickly.

"You helped me?"

"I saved you."

They both spoke at the same time.

The man's smile widened, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Qiao Yaoyao.

He controlled the height of his tail so that his face was level with Qiao Yaoyao's.

"I saved you, you must be my partner."

"what?"

Qiao Yaoyao blinked, trying to adjust to the handsome man who had suddenly appeared before her.
