The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 277 Burning Camp
The high-ranking warriors who were talking suddenly swayed a few times around the same time, and then collapsed to the ground.

After several high-ranking warriors encountered problems, the leading male orc abruptly stood up. His tiger-like eyes were extremely sharp as he warily surveyed his surroundings and loudly warned, "Everyone on alert! Enemy attack—"

No sooner had he finished speaking than flames suddenly erupted in the north, and the withered grass, which had long been drained of moisture, burst into flames with a roar.

After Bai Xi finished setting the fire, she immediately crawled into the burrow dug by the rat tribe. Soon, the rat tribe beastmen used earth-based abilities to silently fill in the ground.

Bai Xi bent over and said to the rat-clan beastmen in front of him, "Go to the northwest and set fire to that place too."

The rat-orc who was leading the way turned back and said, "There's no need to go over there. Young Master Ling has already arranged for our fire-type warriors to set fires. They will take action as soon as they see the fire here."

Bai Xi paused for a few seconds, then asked, "What's the plan next?"

The rat-orc said, "Kill the water-type warriors among the enemy."

"Just a water-based warrior? Earth can extinguish fire too," Bai Xi asked.

The rat-clan orc said, "Although earth can extinguish fire, its effectiveness is limited when the fire is too large. Water-type warriors are more troublesome. Young Master Ling said to kill the water-type warriors first. There are two level 15 earth-type orcs on the other side. Lord Yuheng has already been arranged to deal with them."

Bai Xi thought for a few seconds and said, "Then let's go to the ground."

The rat-clan beastman led the way, saying to him, "Young Master Ling has already located several high-level water-type warriors whose strength is comparable to yours. We have already dug a tunnel there. The fire on the surface will not distinguish between friend and foe, so it is safer to go underground."

Bai Xi nodded and did not raise any further objections.

Ling Chengen's strategic vision is indeed impressive. His control over the battle situation is extremely precise, and he can see ten steps ahead for every step he takes. His movements are as precise as a needle in a haystack.

He really had nothing to worry about. The rat-clan orcs explained the situation of the water-type warriors as clearly as possible, so that if Bai Xi encountered them, he might fall into the enemy's trap and be at a disadvantage, or even risk his life.

They have no reinforcements at the moment. Even if the soldiers from Hanshan arrive later, it will be a drop in the ocean against an enemy force of nearly ten thousand.

……

Ling Chengen did not rush into the enemy ranks to kill them, but instead tried his best to understand the enemy's situation.

Especially when a fire breaks out suddenly and soldiers around you fall one after another, it is clear who the core of the team is.

The enemy forces are too numerous, and our numbers are too few; a direct confrontation is the worst possible strategy.

Therefore, there is an old saying: "To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king."

She didn't intend to capture the thief; she only intended to kill the other side's leader.

A leaderless group is easier for them to take action.

Ling Chengen used his supernatural ability to connect with Yu Heng's brain and also noticed the situation on his side.

Yuheng disliked the current environment, mainly because he possessed wood-type abilities, and the environment was extremely unfavorable to him after the fire started.

So the moment he emerged from the tunnel fought by the rat warriors, he targeted one of the level 15 warriors. Without giving the opponent any chance to react, he appeared behind the man like a ghost, holding a pale green cone-shaped object in his hand, and cleanly and neatly pierced the warrior's back.

Ling Chengen's eyelids twitched slightly, somewhat surprised by his research abilities.

This person can sometimes accomplish great things quietly.

The orcs who had been chasing him earlier used a stone that suppressed the source of his power to pierce his heart.

At the time, he knew almost nothing about this thing, but now he has figured out how to use it, and somehow he has obtained this stone that can suppress supernatural abilities.

Once she confirmed that there wouldn't be any major problems on his end, she shifted her focus to Bai Xi.

Bai Xi's talent is indeed similar to Bai Qingyu's.

He had kept a low profile before, but after several encounters with him, Ling Chengen discovered that he always liked to keep something in reserve.

After Bai Qingyu and Bai Xi became partners, Bai Xi had no choice but to shoulder the future of the Hanshan tribe, and her previously hidden strength was revealed.

In just over half a year, Bai Xi's superpower has advanced from the eighth level to the twelfth level.

Not only is her ability improvement speed faster than Bai Qingyu's, but it's even faster than hers, who started over after changing accounts.

He's truly a terrifying genius.

No wonder the leaders of the Hanshan tribe for the last few generations have all come from their family.

But this time, there are five high-level water-type warriors.

Their strength ranges from the tenth to the thirteenth rank.

Water-type warriors are naturally strong against fire-type warriors, and Bai Xi is going to fight five people at once, one of whom is stronger than him.

No matter how this battle is fought, the odds of winning seem very low.

She arranged for several of the strongest rat warriors to join him in fighting those other warriors.

However, she still felt it wasn't safe enough.

However, Yuheng was leading his team to block the enemy in the west, while Baixi was in the northeast, and the two were too far apart.

Ling Chengen bent down and quickly made his way to Bai Xi's location in the somewhat low tunnel.

While it might be difficult to eliminate all five of them in one go, if Bai Xi could precisely control them at crucial moments and delay their counterattack, he could create an opening for a decisive blow.

Ling Chengen observed the increasingly terrifying fire above, as well as the enemies trapped in the flames, desperately trying to escape. His eyes were cold as he gripped the wall with both hands and quickly pushed open the metal plate covered with turf that was blocking the exit.

The moment her arm touched the metal base plate, she was burned and immediately pulled back. Then she used her hands again to push the cover open, jumped out of the hole, and put the cover back on.

If the thick smoke enters the cave entrance, it will choke the orcs hiding inside the tunnel, so these entrances must be sealed.

As the fire raged, screams and shouts of terror echoed everywhere.

Ling Chengen took out his water-soaked clothes from his spatial storage, put them on, and ran towards Bai Xi, his feet scalding the hot ground.

As expected, Bai Xi and those rat-clan beastmen were suppressed.

After wetting his clothes, Ling Chengen put away the wet sheets on his body, took out an improved crossbow from his spatial storage, and jumped onto a tree that was not yet fully ablaze.

As soon as she landed on the tree, a short blade stabbed at her back from the side.

Ling Chengen had noticed the man in the tree long ago. With one hand hooking a branch and his right hand holding a metal crossbow, he swung it backward, striking the attacker's temple and knocking him off the tree.

She stood high on two tree branches, drew her bow with lightning speed, and released an arrow that pierced the forehead of the man who was getting up from the ground.

Blood splattered on the scorched earth, and the corpses fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Ling Chengen continued climbing until he reached a high point and felt the strong wind pressure.

Without any hesitation, she glanced at the burning leaves below, tightened her bowstring again, and used her mental abilities to lock onto one of the eleventh-tier water-type warriors.

That person was probably a water dragon beastman with impure bloodline. He was much smaller than the water dragon beastmen I had seen before, and he had a pair of inward-curving yellow horns on his head. Perhaps because his human form was not heat-resistant, he directly fought the enemy in the fire in his tough beast form.

One arrow might not be enough to kill.

Ling Chengen estimated the potential interference that the wind pressure at the fire site might cause to the arrows in flight, while also considering which parts of the orcs' bodies could be fatally struck.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly aimed the bow and arrow at Bai Xi. The next second, the arrow flew from the bowstring.

An orc who had attempted to enhance his fist with earth-based powers suddenly rushed toward his location and swung a heavy punch without hesitation.

Bai Xi's figure suddenly transformed into raging flames and vanished from the spot.

The brown bear warrior missed his target, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He was then engulfed in flames and had to raise his hand to shield his eyes.

The arrow that had pierced through the flames had reached his throat.

The specially modified arrow, capable of breaking through the hardening ability of earth-type warriors, pierced a hole in the neck of the brown bear orc.

The arrow pierced the back of his neck and struck the ground hard, sending sparks flying.

Ling Chengen looked at the fallen tenth-tier warrior, curled his lips, and communicated with Bai Xi through his mental abilities, saying, "Good teamwork."

"This has been a huge help! That earth-type orc is such a nuisance. It won't burn, and its shell won't break. It's incredibly annoying."

He was already struggling to deal with those water-type warriors.

The arrival of this earth elemental being, though only at the tenth rank, directly reversed the entire situation.

With his help, the water-type orcs almost completely overwhelmed him and those unlucky rat-type orcs.

Bai Xi initially felt she could manage, but after the rat warriors were injured one after another, she felt immense pressure.

They even got into a heated argument while fighting.

Because these people were high-ranking orcs with truly wicked personalities, after seeing his face clearly, they began to devise a way to capture him alive. While fighting him, they also said that with his appearance, certain nobles would definitely have a particular fondness for him, and there would certainly be a reward after capturing him.

Bai Xi wasn't some naive child, and she scoffed at the dirty and filthy thoughts in their minds.

Rather than be captured and enslaved or humiliated as a plaything, I'd rather die.

However, he still wants to live, so he has no choice but to let those bastards die.

Ling Chengen arrived at just the right time. If he had arrived any later, his supernatural power would have been depleted, and it would have been unlikely that he would have been able to personally kill these orcs.

As the earth-type brown bear orc fell, the water-type warriors who had been in the mood to test Bai Xi no longer dared to talk and laugh as they fought. Instead, they all became vigilant, wary of any cold arrows that might be shot from the shadows.

After Ling Chengen fired an arrow and confirmed that the orc was dead, he jumped down from the tree.

She stepped into the sea of ​​fire, her brows furrowed, and quickly darted away.

However, burns still appeared on his legs and arms.

She was looking for a second suitable spot to fire her arrows, but the terrain on the Mulan Plain was too flat, and trees that were more than ten meters tall like the ones she had just seen were not very common.

Moreover, this is especially true when a wildfire is raging.

Without a high enough place to go, she abandoned the bow and crossbow.

Because the situation inside the fire is extremely complex, even with the assistance of psychic abilities, the probability of hitting the enemy is very low, and the difficulty increases dramatically when the enemy's vital points are accurately shot.

Because they are easily burned in human form, most enemies have turned into beast form.

When she is in her beast form, she has a thick layer of fat on her body, which enhances her resistance to injury and can also cover important internal organs and vital parts. It is not easy to shoot through the crossbow in her hand. Even if she does hit it, it will not kill her. Instead, it will provoke her to go berserk.

Doing so will only increase the stress on Baixi.

So she had to find another way.

She had also considered using psychic abilities to control enemies.

But that won't do; she also needs to consider the sustainability of her powers.

Tonight's game isn't just this one.

So she transformed into her beast form and suddenly leaped out of the fire, landing on the back of the water dragon warrior she had initially targeted. Her heavy body, combined with the momentum of her fall, slammed the warrior to the ground.

Without hesitation, Ling Chengen bit the other person's neck.

Water-type warriors' defensive capabilities are indeed not as abnormal as earth-type warriors'.

In addition, the Boshan Giant Tiger has an advantage in bloodline suppression and has always been at the top of the food chain in the Northern Wilderness.

So with that bite, a huge wound was torn open on half of the water dragon beast warrior's neck.

The water dragon beast warrior struggled fiercely, but Ling Chengen held onto its body tightly with his four claws, biting down hard and refusing to let go, then continued to widen the wound on its neck with his sharp teeth.

During the rolling, Ling Chengen couldn't avoid the other person's attempt to roll their body and throw her off their back, and the hair on their body was also burned by the fire.

She smelled the burning fur and the scorching flesh of her own body. In a fit of rage, she bit off the enemy's vital organs, then turned and threw the one-ton water dragon beast's corpse directly into the sea of ​​fire beside her.

Bai Xi was unfazed by the thick smoke and fire, but Ling Chengen was not so formidable.

After only a brief exchange with an orc, she was already struggling to breathe due to the thick smoke.

Bai Xi noticed her predicament, immediately flew past her, tossed her onto its broad back, and flew to a higher place.

"You need to get out of here right away. You can't withstand this fire." Bai Xi turned around and looked at her as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, her brows furrowing slightly. "I can handle these few orcs down there. Don't worry."

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes and said, "You are Ayu's older brother, and you are here to support us. I can't let you bear the enormous pressure here while I hide in the back and relax."

Bai Xi said helplessly, "What kind of time is this to say such things?"

"Your burns are very severe."

Ling Chengen looked up from his back and observed the battle situation in the distance.

"You keep me outside your fighting circle, and I'll use my superpowers to attack and finish the battle quickly."

"The orcs who fled to the north have realized what's happening and are trying to control the fire that's burning northward. Some of them have even come to help."

Knowing the situation was urgent, Bai Xi disregarded everything else and immediately did as she was told.

As soon as Ling Chengen landed, Bai Xi flew straight ahead, skimming the flames, and engaged in battle with the group once again.

After Ling Chengen unleashed his superpower, Bai Xi experienced the benefits of having a support player for the first time.

The enemy's attack seemed to be delayed.

Don't make the fight too intense.

Ling Chengen covered his mouth and nose with wet clothes, his sense of pain was already somewhat blurred, and his eyes were also suffocated by the thick smoke.

Fortunately, Bai Xi really lived up to expectations and dealt with the enemy very quickly.

He carried the several badly injured rat-kin beastmen on his back, flew towards her, grabbed her shoulder, and soared into the sky, far away from the terrifying fire.
