Chapter 88 A Cub Who Loves to Join in the Fun

Two more days passed peacefully. The arrival of the Xishan tribe did not bring about any changes within the Cangshan tribe. However, the challenges brought by the rainy season became increasingly severe, and problems followed one after another.

The first thing to be affected was that the tribe's food reserves began to run low.

Mo Yan looked at the cave where the food was stored. It reeked of a foul stench, and the prey was damp and rotting faster. If this continued, the rotten meat would be inedible in a few days.

Gui, holding his staff, frowned: "We have to find a way to go hunting."

Apart from Fuying and her two males, the food in the tribe is distributed uniformly.

During this period, food rations have decreased, and many cubs and females cannot eat carrion. They can only eat some shriveled and astringent wild fruits. Even if they force themselves to swallow spoiled meat, they will soon turn pale and vomit. Some cubs are so hungry that they cry, and some even start to have abdominal cramps.

Mo Yan dug her nails into her palms, her scarlet eyes filled with heaviness.

If this continues, I'm afraid we won't make it to the end of the rainy season.

Looking at the continuous downpour outside the cave, Gui lowered his voice and hesitated, "Why don't we go ask Fuying? After all, she is a powerful shaman. She hasn't gone out these past few days. Perhaps she has some ideas?"

Mo Yan's hands clenched so tightly they cracked, a self-deprecating glint in his eyes. Was he going to have to beg her again?

However, before Mo Yan could even step out of the food storage cave, a deafening roar suddenly tore through the rain.

The sound was like a thunderclap, carrying with it a ferocious, bestial quality!
Gui's expression changed drastically: "—It's a monitor lizard!"

Mo Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the scales all over his body surged out instantly, transforming him into a scarlet giant python in the blink of an eye, which darted out of the cave like lightning.

Large raindrops pelted his scarlet scales, but he remained oblivious, raising his snake head to stare outside.

Dozens of giant iron-scaled lizards, as large as small hills, stared intently at the Cangshan tribe with eyes full of greed. In the blink of an eye, they had broken through the fence, knocked down giant trees, and left a trail of devastation in their wake.

The tribe was instantly thrown into chaos.

The cries of the cubs, the screams of the females, and the urgent roars of the males mingled together.

The lead monitor lizard, however, was unhurried, because a female was sitting on its back.

The female had fair skin and a soft body; she was none other than Sang Jie, who had been abandoned in the giant lizard tribe.

She was covered in a giant lizard scale armor, which protected her from the torrential rain. Her slender fingers were twirling her hair. When her gaze met Mo Yan's, a strange smile appeared on her pale face.

"Mo Yan, I haven't congratulated you yet on becoming the leader of the Cangshan tribe."

As she spoke, her swollen belly was exposed to the air. Beneath her thin, almost transparent skin, a cluster of blurry black shadows writhed violently, as if the cubs inside were eager to burst out of her womb.

Mo Yan stared coldly at her. The next instant, his blood-red maw opened, and his body shot out like lightning, engaging in a fierce battle with the giant lizard that had invaded the Cangshan tribe. The ground cracked under the terrifying power of the star patterns.

A cold smile appeared on Sang Jie's lips as she patted the giant lizard leader beneath her: "Xi Feng, as long as we bring back all the food from the Cangshan tribe, we can get through this rainy season safely."

Nobuko Nishimine flashed her fangs, cackling coldly, and the seven-star pattern on her forehead burst forth with dazzling light.

Wherever the light reached, the wet sand and stones on the ground twisted and wriggled as if they were alive, coiling around the colorful giant pythons of the Cangshan tribe.

It turns out that the leader of the giant lizard tribe is already a seven-star patterned beastman.

Mo Yan's bloodshot eyes were filled with icy coldness, and a dark, poisonous mist emanated from his body.

The black mist seemed to have a life of its own, spreading continuously until it condensed into a giant, scarlet python in the sky, its fangs menacing, lunging towards Xifeng and Sangjie. The mist churned, and the snake's hiss echoed throughout the entire tribe.

……

The commotion outside was like an earthquake, so Fuying naturally couldn't sleep.

She stood at the cave entrance, coldly observing the earth-shattering battle between the lizards and pythons. These two orc tribes were already irreconcilable enemies, and after what happened last time, the giant lizard tribe would inevitably retaliate; it was only a matter of time. The hungry rainy season was merely an excuse for them to break off all pretense of civility.

Just then, Teng's slightly tense voice sounded behind her: "Aying, I..."

“Go ahead, we’re all in the Cangshan tribe, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.” Fuying turned to look at Teng.

His snake tail coiled up, scraping several messy marks on the ground. Clearly, the sudden attack by the giant lizard tribe had stirred up the bloodlust in Teng's bones; after all, he was still a member of the Cangshan tribe.

Teng's taut snake tail finally unfurled, tracing a smooth arc across the ground.

He stared intently at Fuying, his dark green eyes seeming to hold a thousand unspoken words. In the next instant, black scales covered his entire body like a tide, and he swiftly transformed into a giant black python, disappearing into the rain that reeked of blood.

Fu Ying withdrew his gaze and caught a glimpse of Bai Cang sitting leisurely at the stone table, playing with a bone knife between his fingers, seemingly oblivious to the great changes in the Cangshan tribe.

Suddenly, a giant python's mournful hiss came from outside the cave.

Just as Fu Ying was about to turn around to look at the battle situation outside the cave, his expression suddenly changed, and he froze on the spot.

Bai Cang had been watching Fu Ying closely, and upon seeing this, his previously nonchalant expression suddenly froze.

He moved like a ghost to Fuying's side, reaching out to pull her into his arms. However, when his fingertips touched her taut skin, he felt as if his whole body had been frozen, and his voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence.

"Aying? What's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he smelled the bloody scent permeating the air, a familiar, sweet, and metallic smell.

His pupils suddenly contracted!
This is... Aying's blood!

Fu Ying clutched her swollen belly, her brows furrowed: "I'm going into labor."

As she spoke, warm blood slid down her calves, blooming into a dazzling blood flower on the ground.

Fu Ying took a deep breath. She was all too familiar with this feeling, so she wasn't too nervous. Supporting Bai Cang's stiff body, she chuckled and said, "This kid is quite the... lover of joining in the fun."

The contractions shattered her words into fragments.

"I, I'll go, I'll go..." Bai Cang frantically held onto the armrests, his face pale, his thin lips trembling violently, the usual leisurely and composed man unable to utter a coherent sentence.

“I can give birth on my own.” Fu Ying grabbed Bai Cang’s trembling wrist and walked toward the stone bed. With each step, more blood seeped out.

Compared to Bai Cang, who was a father for the first time, she was much calmer.

With such a major upheaval happening in the Cangshan tribe today, it will be difficult to find someone to help. It's better to rely on ourselves than to ask others for help.

She is definitely an expert when it comes to having children.

Cold sweat dripped down Fuying's tense jawline, her beautiful face pale, yet the moment she touched the stone bed, she deftly tore open her animal skin skirt with extremely swift and skillful movements.

Bai Cang seemed to have lost his reason, his eyes bloodshot as he held her hand, every nerve ending trembling, as if his soul had been scattered.

Fu Ying frowned and said coldly, "Go boil some water."

Bai Cang suddenly snapped back to reality, met Fu Ying's gaze, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he turned and staggered to boil water.

The fox was clever and knew that it shouldn't cause trouble at this time.

However, even if he doesn't cause trouble, others will.
