Chapter 33: She Just Wanted to Fight

Bai Ye leaped into the air and took human form before landing beside her.
Tang Guo raised her eyes and handed him the hide.
A smile flickered in Bai Ye’s eyes. He waited until he had wrapped the hide skirt around the bulky lump, then said, “Let’s go back and find their male beast. They can follow their female’s scent and find them.”
“I see.”
Tang Guo asked, “Since we can find them by following their aura, what’s the point of them snatching the female? Can’t we just snatch her back?”
Bai looked grim. “The fact that they dared to steal more than one female this time means they’re fearless.”
Then he said, “I’ll lead the chase after the Rovers later. They must have a lot of powerful ambushes. Don’t follow me. Wait in the tribe. Stay with Granny Witch Doctor.”
Tang Guo interrupted him unhappily, “You saw my strength just now. If I follow you, I might be able to help you.”
In truth, she simply wanted to fight.
During the apocalypse, she had been killing zombies almost every day. After being here for so long, she had only fought once today, but she had not had enough. The main reason was that these people could not help but kill.
Bai Ye thought about what he’d just seen of her skills. He didn’t even doubt that he might not be able to beat her had he fought her.
Didn’t she kill the three-star snake beast, Youming?
Tang Guo seemed to know what he was thinking. She glanced at the star sign on his arm and said coldly, “Don’t even think about it. You’re no match for me.”
Bai Ye chuckled softly. “Well, I’m not going to fight you.”
The two of them walked quickly into the tribe as they talked. They met the male beasts running out. They were all the male beasts of Snow and Rorie. There were four in Milo, three in Snow’s, and eight in Rorie’s. There were fifteen two-star males in total, all running anxiously in the direction of the Endless Forest.
‘So, Milo’s gone too?’
Tang Guo sized them up with interest and said, “They’re all the strongest male beasts in the tribe. There are 15 2-star male beasts!”
Then, she seemed to understand. “Wandering orcs are not a bad deal!”
Bai Ye and the fifteen males turned to look at her, especially Archie. They had lost Milo, she had killed Youming, who was the strongest fighter. If Youming hadn’t died, his prowess as a three-star orc would have increased their chances of defeating the stray orcs and getting Milo back!
“What are you talking about!”
He suddenly transformed into his beast form and bared his teeth at Tang Guo.
At the same time, Bai Ye transformed into his beast form and swatted him away. Then he transformed into his human form and stood protectively in front of Tang Guo. “Tang Guo is my female,” he warned. “Are you going to challenge me?”
Milo’s four males backed down at that.
In the Beast World, two-star soul beasts could not defeat three-star soul beasts, not to mention that Bai Ye was about to break through from three-star to four-star.
Archie fell to the ground in pain and howled. In the end, he took human form and obediently joined the others.
Bai Ye reassured them. “We’ve already determined that the stray orcs who took your female. I’ll join you and help you get her back.”
With his promise, the fifteen males stirred and looked at him in admiration.
Only then did Bai Ye ask Tang Guo, “What did you mean by that?”
The male beasts were puzzled. Why was he chatting with this little female at such an important time? Of course, it was more important to chase after the wandering orcs. If they delayed any longer, it would be too late!
But Bai Ye was determined to hear her side of the story, because he believed she was the Star of Wisdom.
Tang Guo was unhappy with his earlier remark that she was his female, but she also knew that this was not the time to dwell on it, so she shared her thoughts.
“Youming probably chose Milo, Snow, and Rorie after careful selection in your tribe because there are only three of them. The males are all powerful two-star orcs, and they’re all top warriors in the tribe.”
There were also many male beasts with other females, but these were mainly many one-star orcs.
There were even many beastmen who had not awakened their soul beasts.
“Look at you guys, chasing after them in a hurry. Maybe they’ve already set up an inescapable net to catch you!”
“When that happens, you’ll have only two options. You will either follow your respective females and join them, or you die.”
“Impossible!”
The males were agitated. “Rorie wouldn’t want to join the ranks of stray orcs! She usually hates them!”
“Yes, are you saying that Youming is an accomplice to the stray orcs? I don’t believe it! His abilities have been obvious since he joined the tribe! He could even be the leader!”
At this point, the orcs finally felt it was inappropriate. They glanced at Bai Ye and shut up.
Tang Guo raised her eyebrows. So Youming had that in mind. But she wasn’t surprised. If he became the leader of the Back Cliff tribe, he could openly share the tribe’s resources with the stray orcs, including the females.
“It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. In any case, the truth is already out. Instead of arguing here, we might as well catch up with them sooner and everything will be revealed!”
She patted Bai Ye’s arm, and he transformed into his beast form. Tang Guo climbed onto his back and raised her chin at Archie and the others. “Lead the way!”
