Chapter 28 Attack
The giant deer was eating quietly, and the beastmen in the grass also started to move. They did not communicate with words, but with gestures.

After a silent exchange, the males set out!
They had a clear division of labor. One group, led by Eaton, transformed into beast forms and quickly rushed towards the giant beast from the grass, responsible for the frontal attack. Another group of strong males carried vines thicker than trees and intercepted the deer beast in the direction of its escape.

Ali and the others quickly moved with the females and evacuated to the higher hills. Wu Xuan also picked up Wen Shu and followed them.

Behind him, there was a loud noise of falling trees and the loud calls of deer. Wen Shu leaned over to take a look and saw a giant deer running in the dense forest. It rushed around in the forest in a panic, and when it noticed the orcs under its feet, it gathered all its strength and charged towards them!
The orcs were at a loss for a moment, and then Wen Shu noticed a familiar black shadow.

A pitch-black snake-beast appeared from the treetop, shot towards the deer-beast like a bolt of lightning, and wrapped around its neck!
He used such great strength that he strangled the deer's neck, causing it to stick out its tongue. At this time, the beastmen finally tied up the deer's legs, and its huge body fell heavily to the ground, crushing a large number of trees.

After a painful roar, the cheers of males rang out from the depths of the forest.

Ali took a few steps forward excitedly, "This time it went so smoothly! Musir is indeed an eighth-level beast!"

His eyes were filled with admiration, and even the look he gave Wen Shu became awkward, "Female Wen Shu, your beastly husband... is truly amazing!"

The orcs all admire the strong, and naturally they will respect the people around the strong.

Wen Shu, who had watched the entire process, couldn't help but admit this, "Indeed."

Even with his tail still broken and not healed, he still has such attack power. How strong was Musil in his prime?
The high-level orcs in this world are so powerful and terrifying.

After hearing the female's response, Ali was stunned. She didn't seem as domineering as the rumors said... and her vision in finding males was really good!
The females on the side all had ugly expressions, especially Beilin. She glanced at Wen Shu, wanting to say something sarcastic but feeling a little timid, so she snorted in her heart.

Tina, who was beside her and had been bullied by Wen Shu before, muttered softly, "I don't know what tricks they used. Didn't anyone notice that Musier's tail was broken?"

Her voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it.

Ali then remembered the scene he had just glimpsed. The snake beast's tail was broken. It looked like... it was injured in the past few days! Who else could hurt an eighth-level orc except a female?
The male guarding the area murmured in agreement, "What the female said makes sense..."

"It's horrible! Who would treat their beastly husband like this?"

The males' outcry emboldened Beilin. She sneered, "It's not the first time. Her disfigured beastly husband is a prime example!"

The originally joyful atmosphere froze again, and the orcs secretly glanced at the female not far away, unable to hide the disgust in their eyes.

Several sharp gazes shot at his back, but Wen Shu pretended not to see them, but his desire to leave quickly became even stronger.

She didn't react, but Wu Xuan couldn't bear to see her being wronged.

He stood in front of Wen Shu, his cold eyes swept over the surrounding orcs, his brows furrowed, "Did anyone of you see this, or do you have definite evidence?"

His eyes were as cold as a knife, and the strong sense of oppression frightened the orcs, and they all shut their mouths under his gaze.

This one was quiet, but the males in the forest were still busy. They had distributed the portions according to their contributions and were dismembering the deer with their sharp claws.

But the beast was so huge that it was not until the fiery red sunset filled the sky that the carcass was cut up and the meat was returned to the assembly point with lumps of meat.

When they arrived at the waterfall, a fire had already been lit by the pool. The two teams that returned early were sitting around it, looking discouraged because they had not hunted any food.

So when they saw the team led by Eaton coming with abundant food, they all stood up excitedly.

The silent atmosphere suddenly boiled over, and the orcs surrounded them, their eyes full of envy!
Wen Shu walked at the end of the team, his eyes moving among the orcs. He looked around but did not see Nan.

She took a few steps forward, picked out the relatively easygoing Ali, and asked, "How many hunting teams are there this time?"

Ali was startled by her sudden approach and took a few steps back. He glanced at Wu Xuan, who was looking at him with a frown, and stammered, "So far, there are only three..."

Where did Nan go?

As soon as the question popped up in Wen Shu's mind, she saw a snow-white figure wearing a mask walking out from behind the tree. Who else could it be but Nan!

"Thank you." Wen Shu said, then walked towards Nan with a cold face. Sensing her cold gaze, Nan, who was holding onto the tree, raised his head, and his light-colored eyes immediately lit up, "Female!"

He staggered towards Wen Shu, and when he got closer, someone grabbed his arm.

Wen Shu pressed him to the roots of the tree, stepped back a few steps, and said condescendingly, "Nan, what did I tell you?"

Nan quickly recalled the female's gentle words that night. Although he did not answer, he remembered every word she said.

She wanted him to stay with her all the time, but...

Nan raised his head, his eyes filled with the timidity of a small animal, yet unusually serious, "Winter is coming, the family needs food, and... you've lost weight these past few days."

His tone was extremely gentle, with a hint of nervousness at the end, timidly expressing his concern.

Wen Shu's heart tightened, and she was surprised by his words.

Was it because she saved him from the males? He was too easy to please, and he looked at her with such eyes...

Wen Shu has always been soft-hearted and doesn't tolerate harshness, so she couldn't even bring herself to criticize him.

"You can't run around injured. Tell me what you're going to do next." She was quite helpless, but still made her attitude clear. She sat down next to Nan and said, "Let me take a look at your injury first."

Ignored, Wu Xuan pursed his lips. He stood beside the two of them, staring intently at their clasped hands, and suddenly asked, "Female, would you like something to eat?"

Wen Shu felt a chill on her back. She raised her head to meet his resentful gaze, and her scalp suddenly felt numb. She subconsciously let go of Nan's hand, "I want to eat it. Thank you, Wu Xuan!"

Regaining his attention, Wu Xuan raised the corner of his lips into a smile, "No trouble, do you like barbecue? Is the smell too strong?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Nan, who looked weak.

Wen Shu was no longer surprised by Wu Xuan's strange questions, and answered without thinking, "No, barbecue is so delicious. If there are chili seeds, add some. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Female, don't be polite to me." Wu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

In response to his provocation, Nan smiled back, "You're so nice to females, I... cough cough cough!"

He covered his chest, his face pale. He grabbed Wen Shu's hide, frowned and said fragilely: "Female, am I too useless..."

"No, no." Wen Shu hurriedly comforted him.

Wu Xuan saw them getting closer again and was furious. "I'm going to cook!"

Wen Shu was suddenly overwhelmed and confused, then suddenly realized that no, she didn't seem to be in a relationship with them!

She held Nan down with one hand, "Alright, I'll treat you first."

After a short treatment, Musier and Wu Xuan also sat here. The four of them finished the most unbearable meal in the strange atmosphere, and each of them leaned against the giant tree and closed their eyes to take a light nap.

Seeing that the orcs were all asleep, the orc on guard extinguished the fire, and the night spread. Gradually, the entire gathering place became quiet, with only the gurgling sound of flowing water and the occasional snoring of the males.

After a day of trekking, Wen Shu was tired and drowsy in the quiet atmosphere. He kept bumping his head and almost fell to the ground.

She was drowsy and wanted to change her position, when suddenly there was a familiar vibration from the ground!

"Boom——"

There was another loud noise of falling trees, and the orcs woke up one after another!
The three tall males protected Wen Shu behind them at the same time, looking vigilantly in the direction of the fallen tree!
Before they could see clearly, a soft and sticky female voice suddenly came from deep in the grass, "I just saw a fire here!"
