Chapter 269 What does Hector want?

Along the way, seeing the Golden Eagle tribe with its feathers scorched black and its cries of agony, Teng and Luoheng both became serious.

They thought only the ducks had been injured, but they never expected that the entire tribe had been attacked by the insectoids.

No wonder they arrived so early; it had been quite a while since any of the sentry guards patrolling the tribe had spotted them.

Soon, the Golden Eagle tribesmen led the two to the cave in the mountainside where their leader was. Before they even entered, they heard Yu Lichen's angry voice coming from inside: "If you can't save him, don't stop me. I must take Wu back!"

A number of people had clearly gathered inside the cave. Someone said, "Chief! The climate outside the Triangular Abyss is really not suitable for long-distance migration. Besides, how could Wu possibly return to the Black Crocodile Swamp alive in this state? Perhaps..."

Yu Li's voice suddenly lowered, filled with hostility: "Not as good as what?"

The man was terrified and dared not speak, but a female still began to sob softly: "Chief, the Corruption Insects always launch sneak attacks at night, clearly not wanting our Golden Eagle tribe to leave alive. They hate the Wriggles for entering their territory to hunt; all they want are the Wriggles! Now our tribesmen have suffered heavy casualties. Even for the sake of the tribe's survival, you should..."

"Heh—" Yu Li sneered, the sound almost spilling from between his teeth, carrying a chilling tone: "What should I do? Don't you know why Wu went hunting? Many cubs were born in the tribe this cold season, and food is scarce. To survive, the warriors had to give their prey to the females and cubs. Wu did it for the tribe! For its people!"

Yu Li suppressed her anger and said sarcastically, "Now that he's in trouble, you want to abandon him?"

The cave was completely quiet.

Suddenly, a round of applause came from outside, accompanied by a shout of "Well said!"

Yu Li suddenly turned his head, his sharp, golden eyes pausing for a moment when he saw Wu and Luo Heng. Then, he gasped, his face suddenly filled with excitement: "You're here? And Fu Ying, is she here too?"

As the leader of a tribe, Yu Li's mind naturally works faster.

Teng crossed his arms and strode forward. Looking at Wu, who was lying on the dry straw, pale-faced and seemingly unconscious, he nodded and said, "Alright, hand him over to me. I'll take him away from the Triangle Abyss and have Aying treat him."

Yu Li let out a long sigh of relief and nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

He wasn't afraid that Teng and Luoheng would harm Wu, after all, everyone had seen how Fuying treated the beastman.

Seeing how readily he agreed, Teng paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Li: "Aren't you worried that the insectoids will attack again if we just leave like this? I thought you would want A Ying to come over in person to help you solve the problems here."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li was taken aback at first, then gave a wry smile: "How could that be?"

He was well aware of the dangers of the Triangle Sea and knew what the Golden Eagle Clan was facing. But it was precisely because he knew this that he wouldn't involve Fu Ying in such matters, since it had little to do with her.

Thinking of this, Yu Li shook her head again and said seriously, "This is a matter for the Golden Eagle Clan."

Teng glanced at him, her dark green eyes flashing slightly: "Then tell me, how did Wu become like this? I just heard you say that it was because the Golden Eagle clan was short of food, and Wu went to the insectoid territory to hunt? He was recognized by the Lord of Nevernight?"

Before Yu Li could speak, a golden eagle beastman beside him shrieked, "The Lord of Nevernight?!"

The surrounding golden eagles and beastmen were all silent, and the cave was unusually quiet for a moment.

Teng raised an eyebrow and glanced at everyone: "What, you've all seen him?"

Yu Li frowned, his golden pupils filled with solemnity, yet he remained puzzled: "What do you mean by saying that Wu was recognized by the Lord of Nightless City? Does that mean? Did Wu and the Lord of Nightless City know each other before?"

Teng paused slightly, glancing at Yu Li in surprise: "You don't know?" But then he realized that although A Ying was a well-known female in Beishan, not all of her beast husbands were like him, Dan Yue, and Qing Lan. As everyone knows, for example, no one knew Luo Heng's background.

Similarly, the Marquis of Nevernight was also like that, after all, when he was in the Oasis Tribe, he was a pitiful little guy who was ostracized by everyone.

"Know what?" Yu Li frowned even more.

Luo Heng stepped forward, looked at Wu who was unconscious, and calmly said, "The Marquis of Nevernight is also A Ying's beast husband."

Yu Li's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously replied, "That's impossible! Yu Li is about to form a bond with Hector!"

When this shocking news reached Teng and Luoheng, they exchanged a strange glance and asked in unison, "Who is Hector?"

After Yu Li explained everything, Teng's brows were completely furrowed.

"So, beneath the Triangular Abyss, there are three major insectoid races: the Bladewing Insectoids, the Corruption Insectoids, and the Parasite Insectoids. The Corruption Insectoids' queen, Hector, is hunting you down, while the Nightless Lord is the king of the Bladewing Insectoids. Are they about to form a pact?"

Luo Heng quietly remarked from the side, "A male cannot form a bond with multiple females."

Teng rolled her eyes and sneered, "Why should we stop Marquis Buye from finding other females?"

Anyway, he didn't like the Marquis of Nevernight. It's good that he left on his own, saving him from having another person vying for favor. It's just a pity for Changsheng. His father didn't even know he existed. Now, he's going to abandon him and his mother to find another female.

Luo Heng pursed her lips; whether or not to stop them wasn't up to them.

He looked up at Yu Li, his deep purple eyes filled with a complex expression: "When will they form a pact?"

Yu Li shook his head: "I only know that the Triangle Abyss has been bustling with activity these past few days. However, the alliance between the kings of the two insect hives must be a big deal, and it may happen in the next day or two."

Teng didn't care about the Lord of Nightless City, but instead looked down at Wu: "Hekti wants Wu, why?"

Mentioning this, Yu Li's body surged with a sharp aura, and she said in a low voice, "She wants the beast crystal of Wu to celebrate her contract with the Lord of Nevernight."

Teng pursed his lips and said to Luo Heng, "Alright, take the person back, and leave the rest to me."

Luo Heng frowned: "Are you trying to cause trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Teng raised an eyebrow and said in an arrogant tone, "What do you mean by causing trouble? Wu is a member of the Golden Eagle clan. If I stay to help his tribe, he will thank me. Besides, I promised Aying that I would find the Lord of Nevernight. Things need to be made clear, right?"

After saying that, he curled his lips and said, "Besides, we're both female. If he wants to form a bond, how can I not participate?"

Luo Heng hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Alright, hurry up and take him back. If we can't save him, Aying will blame us." Teng said, reaching out to help Wu up and handing him to Luoheng, his face full of urgency.

Seeing the eager look in his eyes, Luo Heng felt a headache coming on, thinking that she shouldn't just let him be like this.

However, sensing the faint breath of the duck, it left, turning back every few steps.
