Chapter 110: Awakening and Love Grows
The fox beast wizard was cleaning up the bloodstains on the stone bed, not even looking up. When he heard A Yao ask Wu Ji, he said nonchalantly, "That snake beast? He left as soon as he woke up."
Hearing Wuji leave, A Yao anxiously asked, "Beast Wizard, do you know where Wuji went?"
The fox beast wizard then looked up, sized up A-Yao, and replied, "The snake beast didn't say where it was going before it left. It simply said it had no reason to stay here any longer. His people were dead, and he had no desire to live anymore. He didn't receive treatment for his injuries, and he just passed away."
A Yao's heart trembled, and her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
The fox beast shaman shook his head and said to himself, "I don't know what that snake beast has been through recently. It was fine when it first arrived, but now it has lost all desire to live. Given its physical condition, if it encounters orcs from other tribes or stray beasts after leaving the tribe, it will undoubtedly die."
A Yao's heart sank when she found out. She turned and rushed out the door, bumping into Bai Susu who was following her. Seeing A Yao's panicked look, Bai Susu quickly grabbed A Yao and said, "A Yao, the poison has just been cured, and your injuries haven't healed yet. Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Seeing Bai Susu seemed to have found support, A Yao's nose felt sore. She grabbed Bai Susu's hand and cried sadly: "Sister Bai, after Wuji woke up, he left without even treating his injuries. He was covered in wounds. He would die if he left the three tribes."
The grief and grievances that A Yao had accumulated over the past few days finally burst out at this moment. She opened her eyes hollowly, and tears continued to flow across her rotten face.
At this moment, she regretted saying those words to Wuji: "Sister Bai, I want to go find Wuji."
"He proposed to me before, but I said a lot of things that hurt him. He must have given up treatment and left because of what I said."
After saying this, A Yao rushed out of the Fox Tribe. Bai Susu stopped A Yao and patiently persuaded her, "A Yao, don't be impulsive. There are Elephants outside. If you run into them, you'll be in danger."
A Yao wiped away her tears, endless longing and love pouring out at that moment: "I know, but Wuji risked his life to find the herbs for me. I can't abandon him."
"Sister Bai, Sister Aya is right, I do like Wuji, but I didn't dare to admit it. But now I understand my heart, and I can't lose Wuji." Before, she didn't dare to accept Wuji because her appearance was ruined, but when Wuji really left, she realized that her decision was wrong.
If Wuji died, she would not be able to forgive herself.
She knelt down before Bai Susu and pleaded, "Sister Bai, you are a goddess. You must have a way to find Wuji. I beg you, please help me, please help me, okay?"
After saying that, he kowtowed to Bai Susu.
Bai Susu couldn't bear to see A Yao like this. If she put herself in A Yao's shoes, she would be as worried as A Yao if her beastly husband left, and would look for them desperately.
She helped A Yao up and said earnestly, "A Yao, I don't have much ability. I can only try my best."
"Don't get excited yet. It's dangerous for us to go out on our own. I'll go back and discuss countermeasures with the beastmen."
"Okay." A Yao nodded. "Thank you, Sister Bai."
……
Bai Susu went back to find the beast husbands and explained to them the whole story. After Bai Po and Lan You knew about it, they thought that Wuji helped them protect the tribe and had saved many tribesmen before. Now that he had run away, they decided to help A Yao find him.
Furthermore, when Mei Luoli led his people to track down those elephant orcs, they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air without a trace.
In the past two days, these elephant orcs have appeared around the tribe again. While looking for Wuji, they can also patrol the surrounding situation and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
Afterwards, Bai Po and Lan You each brought more than ten tribesmen. Under A Yao's kneeling begging, Bai Susu had no choice but to follow them out to search. Following the system's prompt, she reminded the two beast husbands and narrowed the search range.
Half an hour later, Bai Po grabbed Bai Susu and said, "Susu, wait a moment."
She stopped and looked back at Bai Po, only to see his cold gaze fixed in one direction. He then hugged her and said, "Susu, there's a scent of Wuji around here. He should be nearby."
Lan You approached her. He was a mermaid, and his sense of smell wasn't as sharp as Bai Po's. He then asked Bai Po, "Can you tell which direction it is?"
Bai Po frowned and said, "Not yet. His scent is everywhere. It's difficult to identify his location."
Bai Susu also smelled Wuji's breath in the air. After a while, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
[Host, the snake beast Wuji is about two hundred meters in front of you. We have also detected more than a dozen elephant beastmen. Host, be careful!]
Bai Susu was reminded by the system and led everyone to continue moving forward. Along the way, she saw a lot of blood stains on the branches and weeds. This was Wuji's blood!
Everyone became alert, and soon they heard the roar of the elephant orcs. They skillfully entered the grass, used the tall trees to hide their bodies, and continued to move forward.
After a while, they came to a small hillside and looked down to see Wuji, who was being besieged by elephant orcs.
Wuji was surrounded by elephant orcs. He was half-kneeling on the ground, his face covered with bruises and scars. His once handsome face was now covered in blood.
He glanced hopelessly at the elephant orcs around him, and the other party swung a fist at him, knocking him to the ground. He lay on the grass, and all he could see was the blue sky with white clouds floating in the sky.
When he saw this beautiful scenery, he felt sad in his heart. He was the only snake beast left in the tribe. He had no hope of survival, but he met A Yao. Although she was weak, she was very strong, which made him feel pity and couldn't help but want to protect her.
The moment he saw her face covered in tears but she pretended to be strong to scare him, she broke into his heart. When he saw A Yao like this, he thought of his childhood self, when he was bullied by powerful orcs, he also pretended to be strong to protect himself.
After meeting A Yao, he made up his mind to protect her. After getting along with her, he fell in love with her and kept guarding her.
Wuji's eyes were empty, and his mind was full of A Yao, but she hated him and didn't need him at all. He had no hope of living, and now that his only hope was gone, he didn't want to live anymore.
If he died, she wouldn't be so distressed anymore, right? He should have gone with his tribe members after they died, but he stayed because of his own concerns.
His existence has brought trouble to A Yao, right?
He had a sorrowful expression and smiled with despair. One of the elephant beastmen saw this and spat at him: "Is this snake beast crazy? How can he still laugh after being beaten like this?"
Another orc said, "This guy is from the White Tiger and Mermaid tribes. We must not let him go!"
The orcs of the elephant tribe recognized that Wuji was with the White Tiger and Mermaid tribes, and vented their anger at the failure to seize the territory on him.
Wuji curled up into a ball, not even thinking of resisting, and allowed them to bully him.
Seeing this, Bai Po quickly turned back and told Bai Susu: "Susu, now that we have found Wuji, you can go back without worry, and leave the rest to us."
"Okay." Bai Susu knew that if she was here, Bai Po and Lan You would be distracted. Besides, with A Yao around, some orcs would have to be assigned to protect them.
All they could do now was to obey the beast husbands' orders and not cause them any trouble. She held Ayao in her arms and said, "Ayao, Wuji has been found. You can rest assured and return with me. Leave the rest to Baipo and Lanyou. They will bring Wuji back."
Unexpectedly, when A-Yao saw the male she liked being bullied and injured, she was already overwhelmed with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "These guys actually hurt Wuji like this."
A Yao was already overcome by anger and had lost her mind. She ignored Bai Susu's advice, broke free from Bai Susu's hand, and rushed down with the long sword Bai Susu had given her.
"Ayao!" Bai Susu wanted to stop Ayao, but she jumped down from the hillside.
"You guys, don't hurt Wuji!"
A Yao fell from the sky. She had a strange feeling in her body in the past two days. There was a power in her body, which was much stronger than before. After she jumped down, she slashed the elephant orc with a knife. The orc was injured and quickly retreated.
Seeing Ayao, the elephants sneered and said, "Here comes an ugly female."
After A Yao figured it out, she didn't care what the elephants said. She protected Wuji and faced these elephant orcs who were twice her height.
They were tall and A Yao was very weak in front of them. One punch from the other party could take her life, but behind her was the male she liked, so she must not retreat!
Seeing Ayao, Wuji was panicked: "Ayao, why are you here?"
