There is a small steep cliff below the altar, and below the cliff is a vast forest.

Ye Xing suppressed the churning of blood and energy in his body, and took a deep breath and flew up, hiding among the trees like an eagle.

The moment she landed, she was on guard and stood up. She heard a shout from behind: "Ye Xing!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Xing shouted at Bao Sanwa to stop him from shouting and looked at Hu Mian who was still in the beast form.

Hu Mian's four hooves swept past like the wind, and his tail curled around her lightly. Ye Xing immediately understood what he meant and turned over, also riding on his back.

Tiger Cotton carried the three females and rushed left and right in the forest at lightning speed, constantly changing its route.

Soon, there was a large dark jungle in front of her. The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the thorn bushes that stretched for miles looked very familiar to her.

In a moment of stunned moment, the tiger-cotton beast's body shook, and its fur rolled, knocking Ye Xing and others to the ground. In the blink of an eye, it spun around. Ye Xing felt his eyes blurred, and when he looked closely, he saw a white-haired boy in an animal skin skirt in front of him.

Leopard Sanwa and Deer Simei were almost frightened silly by the whole journey, and they also cried out in surprise at this moment.

Ye Xing also shouted happily: "Tiger cotton!"

"Shut up!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Mian also gritted his teeth and said this, his little face was cold and he looked very impatient.

After he yelled, Ye Xing turned around and rushed into the thorn bush. Ye Xing suppressed the laughter and confusion in his heart, pulled the stupid Leopard Sanwa and Deer Simei over, and squeezed in along the place where Tiger Cotton came out.

Sure enough, there was an extremely familiar cave entrance in front of me.

She shook her head and smiled bitterly, then pushed Leopard Sanwa and the others hard: "Get in."

After saying that, he shook his head and followed him into the cave helplessly.

Hu Mian followed closely behind, and the four of them crawled forward rapidly without saying a word. The tunnel was dry and warm, and they could breathe freely. The only drawback was that it was too short, and they had to crawl to get through.

Ye Xing was extremely depressed, but the pain in her blood vessels told her that the danger was not over yet and she could only endure it for now.

Finally, they crawled around a bend and the space in front of them suddenly opened up, revealing a space of about ten square meters, which seemed to be a place to rest temporarily.

Leopard Sanwa and Deer Simei lay down panting, finally able to stretch their limbs.

Ye Xing couldn't help but let out a sigh and sat down.

Hu Mian was the most normal. He sat aside with a sullen look on his face and deliberately turned his head away from Ye Xing.

Ye Xing took some time to calm down his breath and finally caught his breath. He estimated that Hu Changlei and his gang would not be able to catch up here for the time being.

She looked towards Hu Mian, a long-lost soft light appeared in her eyes, and she put away her hostility.

"Hu Mian, how are you? Are you hurt?" She bent over and walked over, asking softly.

Hu Mian snorted in his throat, sat down and moved several meters away to avoid Ye Xing's gaze.

Ye Xing couldn't help laughing out loud. She already knew that the child was only ten years old. Although she guessed that orcs should reach adulthood earlier, she also understood that this little orc was actually not yet an adult.

In her eyes, he was barely a young boy.

"How did you get there?" she asked as she chased after him.

Hu Mian moved his butt back and moved a few meters away, but kept his head turned away and didn't look at her.

Ye Xing didn't believe it, so he moved closer and supported himself against the wall with his hands, trapping the child in a corner.

"What are you doing?" Hu Mian immediately became unhappy and glared at her.

"Why are you hiding? I'm asking you a question!" Ye Xing said.

"Go away!" Hu Mian said angrily.

"I want to leave? If you want me to leave, why did you come to save me?" Ye Xing asked with a smile.

Hu Mian's cheeks puffed up with anger at these words, and his big golden eyes stared at Ye Xing, seemingly with red eye circles.

After a long while, he finally let out a sigh of resignation, lowered his head and said sullenly: "I'm here to save you!"

"Why save me?" Ye Xing asked again.

"Because you are my female!" Hu Mian looked up and shouted.

That’s it again!

Ye Xing had heard it eight hundred times, but he didn't understand what the kid meant by repeating this sentence over and over again.

It is speculated that it has something to do with the orcs' stupid possessiveness. After all, no matter what, Hu Mian is still a genuine orc.

"Then how did you end up at the altar?" Ye Xing squatted down, looked at Hu Mian carefully and asked.

Hu Mian thought for a while, as if he didn't want to admit it but had to admit it, and then he said, "I never left!"

Didn't leave? Didn't stay around the tribe?

Ye Xing was surprised: "You, have you always stayed around the tribe?"

"Ok!"

"Not discovered by the guards?" Ye Xing asked a nonsense question.

"No, they are too stupid and their noses don't work well." Hu Mian replied with a pout.

"and then?"

"I'll wait outside to see if I can see you." Hu Mian said in a low voice.

"see me?"

Ye Xing's heart paused. She knew that Hu Mian had probably never stayed with anyone for a long time. Just like a baby bird, he might be very dependent on her.

"What do you want to see me for?" Ye Xing asked again.

Hu Mian hesitated for a moment before softly answering, "I want to give the stone to you!"

"Stone?"

Hu Mian spread out his palms under Ye Xing's puzzled gaze.

Ye Xing saw two colorful stones as big as pigeon eggs lying quietly in the child's slender palm. It was obvious that he had been holding them tightly and not letting go, leaving two purple-red marks on his palm.

Ye Xing stared at it blankly, unable to react. This kind of stone was the colorful stone that was treated like a treasure in the hole of the Humian tree. It could emit a faint light at night. She always thought it was a toy of Humian. Why did he specially give her two of them?

"Ah! Beishi!"

Leopard Sanwa and Deer Simei exclaimed at the same time.

"Shell stone?" Ye Xing turned around and looked at them: "What is shell stone?"

The two of them were obviously still wary of the tiger cotton and didn't dare to get too close. They just stretched their necks to look carefully again, and then nodded affirmatively: "It's the shell stone."

"Shellstone is a kind of gem used by tribes to trade materials. Only warriors in the tribe can get it."

"This is mine! It's mine!" Hu Mian immediately grabbed the stone upon hearing this and objected loudly with a feeling of grievance.

Leopard Sanwa was startled by the roar and quickly took several steps back, moving further away from him.

Ye Xing naturally knew that this was Hu Mian's own thing, so she couldn't help but reach out and rub his white hair, saying to him like she was fooling a child, "Yours, yours, all yours!"

Hu Mian rubbed his head with his quilt, his face a little red with embarrassment, and he threw two stones into Ye Xing's arms.

"Give it to me?" Ye Xing picked up the stone and asked him.

"I'm going to give it to you!" Hu Mian said angrily.

"Why give it to me?" Ye Xing asked.

"Don't you want to go back to the tribe?" Hu Mian asked back.

"Ah, what does that matter?" Ye Xing was confused.

"Humph, idiot!" Hu Mian cursed in a low voice and then continued: "I know that people in the tribe have this, but you don't. What if they bully you?"

"You are my female! My female cannot be bullied, so I came to give you the stone and then I will leave. Who knew that you, a fool, would be surrounded by so many orcs?"

"What do you want to do? The orcs look very angry. Did you offend them?"

Seeing that Ye Xing had been silent, Hu Mian raised his head and asked her in a nagging manner.

For the first time ever, Ye Xing stood there stupidly. It was as if there was a small soft brush deep in her heart, gently brushing back and forth with every word Hu Mian said, making her heart soften.

This child who was abandoned and hated by everyone wanted to protect her desperately, using all his strength, trying every possible way, regardless of the consequences.
