At first, he pretended to be unconscious because he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe; later, he became addicted.
For the first time, he experienced the feeling of someone gently examining his wound.
The man's fingertips, like the softest spot on a beast's belly, gently caressed his wound inch by inch.
I checked his injuries repeatedly, as if I were someone important to him as well.
So much so that when he later encountered a cannibal attack on the Ze tribe, he ran away in confusion and had nowhere to go.
Ultimately, they chose to take the two seriously injured men who had escorted him back with them to the Wood Tribe.
I wanted to see what such a warm person looked like.
This time, he saw it clearly.
The moment they saw each other, the god they had been fantasizing about day and night suddenly came to life.
The moment her slender, snow-white fingertips lifted his chin, Ze thought that since he had nowhere else to go, he wanted to stay in the Wood Tribe.
But Ze also knew that if he wanted to live here as a human being, he couldn't tell anyone the secret about his blood.
He has kept this secret very well all along.
But when he saw the priest, who was like a god, fall from a great height covered in filth, his mind went blank for a moment.
He only wanted to wipe away the ashes that did not belong to the priest, and did not want the priest to suffer any pain.
He had sworn an oath to the beast god to protect the priests.
So he cut his palm, caught the priest, and chose to expose his greatest secret.
He entrusted his fate to the other party.
Whether they live or die is entirely up to the priest.
After Shen Nong fully regained consciousness, he realized that he was being hugged from behind. He tried to move his waist but couldn't break free.
He could only forcefully pry the hands covering his face and gasp for fresh air, shouting, "Let go, you're strangling me!"
Upon hearing this, Ze came to his senses and immediately released his arm.
Shen Nong knew his physical condition. He felt that he was in excellent physical condition and looked behind him suspiciously.
Ze Xiang was like a prisoner awaiting a death sentence, not daring to look up, or even to hear Shen Nong's voice.
He feared he would face the same choice as the Ze tribe, but he did not regret doing so.
"Don't reveal secrets before you have the ability to protect yourself."
Shen Nong emphasized, "Don't let a third person know your secret."
Ze Meng looked up, unable to believe what he was hearing. He had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't utter a single one.
What do you want?
After all, he had saved her life, so Shen Nong couldn't leave without showing any gratitude. He waited for Ze's reply after asking his question.
Ze stared intently at Shen Nong, looking at her seriously and attentively, "Round and sweet."
Round and sweet?
What is that?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Nong realized that Ze might be talking about candy, so she quickly exchanged it for a grape-flavored fruit candy.
Shen Nong pretended to reach into her pocket, then opened her palm, revealing a round, purple candy lying quietly on it. "Is this it?"
"Um."
As soon as Ze responded, he was enveloped by a sweet scent. Shen Nong held a candy to Ze's lips, "Eat it. I'll give you some every day from now on."
——
While Shen Nong's problem was resolved, Hu Xiao found himself in crisis.
From the moment he recognized the Wood Tribe, Leopard Autumn planned to annihilate everyone in the Wood Tribe in the beast tide.
They had always used the Wood Tribe as bait, and no one had ever imagined that a level 5 or higher orc warrior would appear in this weak tribe.
Now, not only has the Wood Tribe appeared, but many have suddenly sprung up.
Leopard Autumn knew that these people from the Wood Tribe would never come to the Salt Tribe.
They will only be enemies.
Under Leopard Autumn's deliberate guidance, the orc warriors from other tribes united to lure the giant beast into attacking Tiger Roar and his companions.
Lacking the necessary skills, the members of the Wood Tribe, who were repeatedly outmaneuvered, initially failed to realize that something was amiss with the beast tide.
Faced with an increasing number of giant beasts, they were only thinking about hunting more to make up for the prey that had been taken from them by other tribes.
By the time they realized something was wrong, they were already completely surrounded by the beast horde.
They could only rely on brute force to carve a bloody path through.
Every time they try to escape, even more giant beasts will surround them.
They come in an endless stream, relentlessly until they die.
The Tiger Roar Beast Form is a tiger nearly ten meters tall, but it still looks small in front of giant beasts that are at least thirty meters tall.
Before him stood a colossal beast nearly fifty meters tall, its body covered in sharp spikes, with a massive fan-shaped shield atop its head.
The head shield has brightly colored patterns on the left and right sides, which look like giant eyes.
If you stare at that "eye", you will feel dizzy.
Below the head shield, there are horns tens of meters long on both sides of the forehead, and a short horn on the tip of the nose. The triangular horns are sharp and have beads of blood hanging from them.
Its defense and attack capabilities are extremely strong.
These behemoths have been enraged and cannot easily escape.
The people of the Wood Tribe are caught in a life-or-death struggle.
Tiger Roar leaped with all his might, pouncing on the giant beast blocking his way.
Rabbit Wind followed closely behind. The tall, powerful, and muscular gray rabbit brandished its sharp claws and joined forces with Tiger Roar to pounce on the giant beast.
Cat Cloud and the others were also caught in a deadly battle, as the colossal beast that blotted out the sky roared in fury.
Its fangs were stained with blood, and it only wanted to tear its prey to shreds.
Orcs are small in stature but attack with great speed.
When facing a particularly large behemoth, it will be at a significant disadvantage in terms of speed.
Therefore, during beast tide hunts, orc warriors always adopt a swift attack strategy.
Tiger Roar and his men maintained a high-speed combat pace, but as soon as one giant beast was killed, another would follow.
No matter how many times you kill them, you can't kill them all.
Energy will eventually be exhausted.
Hu Xiao and the others gradually became exhausted and their speed began to slow down.
With a "thud," the tiger's belly was pierced by the giant beast's horn.
A whole tiger was lifted into the air by the giant beast's horns, and blood dripped down the horns.
Tiger Roar nearly fainted from the pain.
He endured the pain and used his hind legs to forcefully kick the giant beast's firm nasal bones, pulling himself off its long horn.
Blood streaked across the air as Hu Xiao crashed to the ground, the shock making him think his internal organs had shattered as well.
Seeing that Tiger Roar was injured, Rabbit Wind was eager to check on his condition.
Although he was wary of the spiky behemoth, he was unexpectedly slapped to the ground by a bear-like beast with huge teeth halfway through his journey.
The giant beast that had wounded Tiger Roar saw Rabbit Wind being attacked by the bear beast and retreated, abandoning its pursuit of Rabbit Wind.
The bear-shaped behemoth lifted Tu Feng's left leg with one hand, and the rabbit, which was originally more than ten meters tall, now looked like an ordinary little rabbit in the behemoth's hand.
The beast had huge teeth, with two large fangs protruding from its lips. He lifted Rabbit Wind and brought it close to his eyes for a closer look.
Rabbit Wind watched as the giant beast covered in spikes was about to continue attacking Tiger Roar, but his leg was being held by the giant bear and he could not escape.
He could only hang upside down and use his eyes to search for others, hoping to drag Hu Xiao away.
Then Rabbit Wind was drawn by a series of shrill screams—it was Cat Cloud!
"ah!"
Rabbit Wind looked with some difficulty in the direction of the sound and saw that Cat Cloud's leg had been bitten by the giant beast with a mouth full of fangs.
The screams of excruciating pain were mixed with the sound of bones cracking.
Niu Mu and the others were also entangled by various kinds of giant beasts, with countless wounds of all sizes on their bodies, covered in blood, and barely able to protect themselves.
Rabbit Wind was being held by the legs and swung in mid-air, making him dizzy.
At this moment, Cat Cloud used its front paws to pry open the mouth of the fanged behemoth. The behemoth could not chew, but it was unwilling to give up its prey that it had already put in its mouth.
The two sides were deadlocked, which balanced the situation and allowed them to hold out for a while.
But Hu Xiao couldn't wait any longer, so Tu Feng thought that he should give up this leg, at least to save Hu Xiao's life.
At this point, the members of the Mu tribe were all at their limit, but they were just holding on with their last breath.
The Salt Tribe, which caused this battle, watched as the Wood Tribe fought like trapped beasts.
He felt that it was a particularly worthwhile deal to be able to kill so many orc warriors who were not of his own use without expending much effort.
The Beast God ultimately stood on the side of their Salt Department.
"brush"
Sometimes, change and opportunity can happen in an instant. What is a change for the Salt Tribe is a turning point for the Wood Tribe.
Suddenly, several vines burst forth from the ground. As if they were alive, they avoided the people of the Wood Tribe and tightly wrapped around the limbs of the giant beasts.
Caught off guard, the giant beast was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the vines, causing most of it to stumble and fall, while the remaining half was unable to move an inch.
Cat Cloud exclaimed in delight, "It's the priest!"
The giant beast, biting down on the cat's leg, had its upper and lower jaws wrapped in vines and stretched to their limit.
