Chapter 14: I Love You
Before the two could even escape, a sudden disaster struck—the Rubble Forest was experiencing a large-scale beast tide, a once-in-a-century event!
Star beasts and beastmen preyed on each other. Every year before the arrival of the cold season, the beastmen, retaining their primal instincts, would hoard food for the winter. The starving star beasts would also form beast tides, attacking nearby beastmen tribes and plundering food.
The Kordo Tribe had been established for decades and had encountered beast tides before, possessing measures to deal with ordinary ones. However, the scale of this beast tide was unprecedented!
Thousands of starving, maddened star beasts surrounded the entire tribe, inside and out.
No one could escape alive.
The Kordo Tribe fought to the death against the beast tide, resulting in nearly a hundred beastmen dead or injured in just one night.
The old chieftain personally came, kneeling on the ground, begging Lan Cang to stay and protect the tribe, helping the Kordo Tribe withstand this crisis of extinction.
He used his last favor to exchange for a glimmer of hope for the Kordo Tribe.
Lan Cang didn't immediately agree and went to the backyard to discuss it with Sang Luo.
The Rubble Forest had indeed erupted in war as expected, but unexpectedly, it was a war with star beasts.
The Rubble Forest was indeed unsafe now. Staying here longer meant more risk.
Sang Luo saw the entanglement in Lan Cang's eyes. She knew very well that Lan Cang was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and that was why she had fallen in love with him.
"Stay, help the Kordo Tribe resist the beast tide, and then we'll leave."
To be honest, after staying in the tribe for so long, she had some feelings for the beastmen here. Li Man and A-Ya were also in the tribe, and Sang Luo couldn't bear to watch them die in the beast tide.
"I understand."
"Lan Cang, you must come back safely. After we get through this crisis, we'll move to the city to live. When life settles down, I will…"
Lan Cang looked at her intently.
Sang Luo smiled playfully, took his hand, and placed it on her abdomen.
"Maybe someday when I'm in a good mood, I might get you pregnant with a cub."
It wasn't about doing as the Romans do, nor was it for the sake of her special abilities. Sang Luo genuinely loved Lan Cang and wanted to be with this man, to have children.
If she could return to modern times in the future, she would definitely try to bring him back with her.
If she couldn't go back, then she would spend the rest of her life with him.
She had to admit that she had new attachments in this other world.
No male beastman could resist the sweet talk of bearing children.
He kissed her deeply on the lips, "Okay, I'll wait!"
Lan Cang turned around and agreed to the chieftain's request to stay and resist the beast tide.
These past few days, he had disappeared. The number of beastmen casualties in the tribe had plummeted. Sang Luo heard the chieftain and others say that Lan Cang led the team bravely, killing many star beasts. The Kordo Tribe, which originally couldn't withstand the beast tide's siege for even three days, had stubbornly held on for half a month.
After so long, they still couldn't take down this small tribe. The star beasts seemed to be wary and no longer attacked recklessly, resorting to attrition tactics. They still showed no signs of retreating, and their numbers only increased, while the number of beastmen was decreasing every day, showing signs of decline…
Every few days, Lan Cang would squeeze out time in the evening to rush back and see her.
Each time he returned, his body was shrouded in an lingering scent of blood. He had changed into a set of black clothes, making it impossible to see where his wounds were, but Sang Luo could guess that the injuries on his body were more serious each time.
This beast tide was a tough battle.
Before the arrival of the cold season, a rainstorm mixed with snow swept through the Rubble Forest, the temperature plummeted, dark clouds loomed over the city, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside. It was daytime, but it felt like night had arrived early in an instant, without a trace of light.
A bolt of lightning suddenly split the sky in half, illuminating the entire world in an instant, like the doomsday of a horror movie.
A tall, familiar, bloody figure appeared outside the window.
Sang Luo's breath tightened, and she quickly went to open the door. Bone-chilling cold mixed with wind, snow, and the smell of blood reached her nose. Lan Cang almost collapsed into her arms, his face frighteningly pale, blood flowing from the corner of his lips. The clothes on his body had long been tattered, exposing wounds all over his body, staining most of her skirt red.
Sang Luo's tears burst out at once, and she hugged him tightly, unable to speak through sobs.
No matter how much he was hurt outside, Lan Cang would never let her see it. This time, he didn't even have time to clean up his wounds and came back covered in blood.
As soon as Lan Cang closed the door, he couldn't wait to hug her tightly, his icy lips kissing hers, plundering wantonly.
Feeling his urgent and passionate desire, Sang Luo was stunned for a moment and forgot to resist.
"The injuries on your body…"
"Don't talk, Luo Luo, let me feel you one more time."
His voice was hoarse.
This time, unlike before, he wasn't so gentle and patient, but direct and intense, as if he wanted to gather all the longing of the future in this moment, giving her everything he had. Sang Luo couldn't bear it and fell into a deep sleep, not knowing when it ended…
In a daze, a kiss landed on her forehead.
"If I don't come back… find a stronger male than me, don't wrong yourself."
"Luo Luo, I love you."
When she woke up, Lan Cang had already left. There was a whole bag of beast crystals by the bed. A huge sense of panic inexplicably surged in Sang Luo's heart, as if something was missing.
Someone was frantically knocking on the door outside, about to break in the next second.
Sang Luo quickly stuffed the bag of beast crystals into her clothes and ran to open the door. It was Li Man and the others.
Li Man's eyes were red and swollen, she had been crying these past few days. Three of her partners had died in this battle.
She hurriedly grabbed Sang Luo's hand and said loudly, "Luo Luo, let's run! The Kordo Tribe is destined to fall! We can't hold on anymore! It's too late if we don't run!"
Outside the door were not only Li Man but also many familiar female beastmen and cubs from the tribe. They had all packed their bags, and the number of male beasts around them had obviously been reduced by more than half, most of them carrying injuries.
Sang Luo suddenly shook her head frantically and hurriedly grabbed A-Ya's hand.
【What about the other beastmen in the tribe? Aren't there still many beastmen fighting star beasts outside the tribe? When they come back and find that the tribe is gone, they can't find anyone, where should they go to find us…】
"Outside the tribe… there are no more beastmen." Alive.
A-Ya and her partner exchanged a look, and Ke Mu said in pain.
Sang Luo's blood turned cold, and she staggered back.
Impossible, Lan Cang hasn't returned yet, how could…
Ke Mu knew what she wanted to ask, and his tense body trembled, "Lan Cang broke into the beast tide alone this morning and went missing, never to return…"
He didn't dare to say any more. Everyone present knew very well that no one could come out of the beast tide alive.
【How could this be?】
"We encountered a seventh-tier peak star beast king, the one that almost killed Lan Cang back then, and this time that star beast king's power is even stronger, far beyond what beastmen of our level can resist…"
"Lan Cang, it's impossible for him to be alive!"
Sang Luo almost collapsed to the ground. So, he came to see her urgently last night to say goodbye.
No wonder he was so uncharacteristically abnormal.
"Luo Luo, there's no time to be sad now. The Kordo Tribe will be captured soon. The star beasts will find this place soon. This morning, half of the beastman warriors risked their lives to help us find a secret passage to the outside world. Let's quickly pack our things and run out of the secret passage to join other tribes!"
"Large tribes and cities have protective walls that can resist the invasion of beast tides. Time waits for no one, let's hurry up and run, if the star beasts find us, we won't be able to leave!"
Li Man was so anxious that she directly asked a tiger clan partner to transform into a beast form and pulled her up to ride on it.
The remaining beastmen team traveled day and night, leaving the captured Kordo Tribe.
