Chapter 82 Captivity
The witch doctor's place is still very busy and crowded.

After Wen Li's treatment yesterday, many of the females and cubs have recovered and gone home.

However, Wen Li's healing abilities are limited, and she can only save a portion of the people.

There were many people, and many uninjured females spontaneously came to help, including An Yuan.

Wen Li had already seen her yesterday, but the two didn't get along well and didn't greet each other.

"Wen Li!"

The witch doctor's voice came.

Wen Li rushed over and, under the instructions of the witch doctor, treated an injured cub.

His right leg was broken by a falling rock and lay limply on the ground.

The cub was quite brave, holding back its tears, though its eyes were red.

"I'll help you with the treatment." Wen Li rubbed his head.

Next, I used my special ability.

After a short rest last night, Wen Li's supernatural power has recovered, and healing the cub's injuries is no problem.

In no time at all, the cub was healed.

He blinked his bright eyes in surprise, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Wen Li smiled and said, "Well, that's good."

The cub stood up, jumped around, and spun around. It was overjoyed to find that its leg injury was really healed.

The witch doctor couldn't help but exclaim, "Wen Li, your ability... no matter how many times I see it, it's still amazing."

It's amazing that a fracture can be healed in such a short time.

“Much more reliable than An Yuan,” a female nearby chimed in.

Wen Li and An Yuan are the only two females in the tribe with healing abilities, and they are currently helping out at the witch doctor's place.

However, An Yuan's healing ability is not stable enough; sometimes it can cure, and sometimes it doesn't work.

This was noticed by everyone else, and there was a lot of gossip about it behind their backs.

Just before Wen Li treated the cub, An Yuan had also tried, but it didn't work.

The witch doctor then summoned Wen Li.

The female watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but chuckle.

“An Yuan is just so-so, Wen Li. If you ask me, she’s not as good as you,” the female said again.

Wen Li glanced at her but didn't reply.

She knew the female was doing it on purpose.

This female and An Yuan have always been at odds. The fact that the beast husbands she found were exceptionally enthusiastic towards An Yuan only made her dislike An Yuan even more.

“Oh, you can’t say that,” the witch doctor said, bringing out a glass of water.

Although this is the truth, it cannot be said so directly in public. It would be bad if An Yuan heard it.

"Everyone is here to help; no one is inferior to anyone else."

Wen Li said, "The witch doctor is right."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dark shadow descended from the front.

“Witch doctor.” An Yuan’s indifferent voice rang out from ahead.

The three people in the cave looked up at the same time. The female glared at An Yuan without any politeness, and the witch doctor's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Wen Li didn't speak, and her face remained expressionless, but An Yuan glared at her.

An Yuan probably heard what was said just now.

"I've left the things here."

An Yuan dropped the medicine packet in her hand and left.

There was a moment of silence in the cave, followed by the witch doctor's sigh.

The female revealed a triumphant smile, quite pleased with An Yuan's current annoyance.

"I went to treat other people," Wen Li said softly.

She got up and went to treat the other injured people, treating several in succession, and also used up most of the supernatural power in her body.

Wen Li treated all the seriously injured patients, and the rest were patients whose injuries were not so serious.

Wen Li's next task was to brew the medicine.

During this time, Wen Li and An Yuan encountered each other quite a few times, but neither of them paid any attention to the other.

"Wen Li, come here for a moment," the witch doctor called to Wen Li again.

Wen Li: "What's wrong?"

The witch doctor said, "Dinner's ready."

Wen Li was helping out at the witch doctor's place, and the witch doctor even provided her with meals, including lunch and dinner.

"I roasted some meat today, and I saved the best cuts for you," the witch doctor said in a low voice.

Of all these people, he admired Wen Li the most.

He's capable and efficient; it would be great if we could recruit him as an apprentice.

Wen Li stopped what she was doing and nodded. "Okay."

After washing her hands, Wen Li began to eat lunch.

It was a stewed meat broth, and the shaman had added a lot of salt to it, making it quite flavorful.

Wen Li held the bowl and drank it in small sips.

The witch doctor said, "After you finish eating, could you please fetch something for me?"

Wen Li looked up, swallowing the broth in her mouth. "What?"

"We're running out of ginseng, but Old Zhao and his group have plenty. He'll send some over in a bit. Could you go and meet them for me? I can't leave here," the witch doctor said.

Wen Li glanced at the courtyard, which was crowded with wounded patients, and said, "Okay."

Given the current situation, the witch doctor is indeed unable to leave.

The witch doctor patted her on the shoulder. "Eat up. Come find me when you're done. I'll tell you about the rest later."

The food here is so-so, but even after coming to the Beast World, Wen Li has managed to develop a more discerning palate.

She ate a few bites hastily, washed the wooden bowl, and then went to find the witch doctor.

The witch doctor was still busy.

Seeing her approach, he didn't stop what he was doing, and hastily pointed in a direction, saying, "Wen Li, go find Arno, I'll have him take you there."

"it is good."

Wen Li then turned around and went to find Arno.

Arno was so busy that he finally had a moment to drink some water. When he saw Wen Li arrive, he quickly put down his cup.

"Wen Li!"

"The witch doctor sent me to find you."

"Is it about the ginseng? I'm sorry, I was supposed to be the one to meet them." Arno smiled apologetically.

"The agreed meeting place is under the banyan tree in front of the village. They'll be here soon, Wen Li. Thank you for your help."

"fine."

After confirming the location, Wen Li headed towards her destination.

The banyan tree in front of the village isn't far from here, and there shouldn't be any danger at this distance.

Arno watched Wen Li's figure disappear into the distance, then picked up his cup and took another sip of water.

An Yuan walked over at this moment, "What were you talking about with Wen Li just now?"

Arno smiled gently when he saw An Yuan. "It's nothing. Let Wen Li meet up with Uncle Zhao and the others."

A dark glint flashed in An Yuan's eyes.

"Where to?"

"It's right under the banyan tree in front of the village."

An Yuan's smile deepened, tinged with a hint of strangeness.

"What's wrong?" Arno asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually," An Yuan said with a smile. "Then I'll go and get back to work."

As soon as she turned around, Arno grabbed her wrist.

"Arnold?"

Arno gently brushed a strand of hair from An Yuan's cheek and whispered, "Don't overwork yourself."

"it is good."

At the same time, Wen Li had already gone to the banyan tree.

The second earthquake came suddenly, catching the entire tribe off guard.

Although not too serious, it still caused a lot of trouble, and many families were busy cleaning up the damage caused by the earthquake.

With people coming and going on the street, Wen Li felt much more at ease.

The tribe has many people, so even without animal husbands to accompany them, there's no need to worry about danger.

The stray animals near the tribe have been much quieter lately, as they've been less active with the arrival of winter. The continuous snowfall has stopped, leaving a thin layer on the ground that's been trampled into mud.

Wen Li wrapped her winter clothes tighter around herself and tucked her face into them to reduce the cold wind.

"Banyan tree...banyan tree..."

Following her memory, Wen Li finally arrived at the location the witch doctor had mentioned—under the banyan tree at the tribal crossroads.

Anyone wanting to enter the tribe must pass by this banyan tree.

After Wen Li sat down, she found a corner to sit in and looked towards the main road.

Wen Li didn't know when Uncle Zhao and the others would arrive, and there was no set time. She could only wait here.

Looking around, Wen Li noticed that there were far fewer people here.

Only a few males from a few tribes passed by and greeted Wen Li when they saw her.

A sudden unease welled up in Wen Li's heart.

She's located near the tribe, so nothing should happen to her, right?

Wen Li took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable unease in her heart.

After waiting for a while, a system notification suddenly rang in Wen Li's mind.

[Host, target detected.]

Wen Li was taken aback. What target?
The system retrieved her thoughts and explained:

[A target character who fits the target of the strategy.]

"Where?" Wen Li asked.

"left."

Another target has appeared in the tribe? Since the system says so, it shouldn't be one of my beastmen.

Wen Li looked in the direction indicated by the system with curiosity.

I also saw the so-called target person from the system.

It almost blinded Wen Li's eyes.

This is just too...

"Are you sure?" Wen Li questioned the system.

Isn't it said that S-class orcs are the cream of the crop, one in a million, and top-notch in every aspect?

The man not far away, judging solely from his appearance, was incredibly unattractive!
Could it be that he has extraordinary talent in other areas?

The system ignored Wen Li's questions and simply repeated:

The opponent's talent is S-rank, meeting the strategy criteria.

Wen Li also became interested.

She was really curious about why this guy met the criteria for being a conquest, even though he looked so... ordinary.

Well, I'd say it's just average.

Compared to the Wen Li of the past, she can be considered ordinary, not that ugly.

Her gaze swept back and forth over the male not far away.

The male has long black hair, an extremely plain and unremarkable appearance, and can be forgotten as soon as you turn your head away.

He was wearing thick winter clothes and was quite tall. He looked rather bulky, whether because of the clothes or his physique.

To be honest, she has absolutely no charm.

And yet, this very male possesses an S-level talent?!

[Host, do you want to conquer this world?]

The system's inquiry came through.

Wen Li remained silent for a moment, without answering.

Wen Li isn't someone who accepts everything, okay? She's a sucker for good looks!

"Forget it," Wen Li muttered softly.

She already has five handsome husbands at home, and her standards have become very high.

Even if the five of them were to separate from her in the future, Wen Li would still want to find a beautiful beast husband.

She's in such a good position now, why should she compromise herself!

After sizing the other person up, Wen Li looked away.

There were only two people in this area for the time being, and the male had been staying there for some reason.

No one spoke.

Perhaps Wen Li's gaze was too direct, because the other party noticed it and looked over.

The male's gaze was appraising and curious.

They seemed to be wondering why she was there.

However, he only glanced at it and quickly looked away.

Wen Li lowered her eyes and thought about it seriously.

When the other person looked at her, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.

strangeness……

Footsteps sounded, and the male turned and left.

Wen Li's gaze followed his retreating figure for a moment before turning away.

She stood up and stomped her feet.

Sitting for too long, a chill crept up her. She was now desperately hoping that Uncle Zhao and the others could come over soon, as the witch doctor's place was at least warmer than here.

Wen Li took out her hands, breathed gently on them, and her porcelain-white face showed visible anxiety.

At this moment, two more males approached from the opposite side.

Wen Li thought Uncle Zhao had come, but he hadn't.

The visitor was just a male from the tribe.

The two were rather shy and didn't greet Wen Li before leaving in a hurry.

Wen Li realized that she was now the only person left in the vicinity.

Although it was broad daylight, there were hardly any people around, and she felt quite scared being alone there.

Fortunately, she could hear people talking not far away, which put Wen Li at ease.

It's good that there are people nearby; if she encounters danger, they can hear her calling for help.

Wen Li waited patiently for a while longer.

The longer she waited, the more anxious she became, a sense of unease creeping into her heart, growing stronger with each passing moment.

Could it be that something happened to them?
As soon as the idea came to her, Wen Li smelled a strange scent in the air.

The smell was like a mixture of rotten and fragrant aromas.

Wen Li's first reaction was to hold her breath and observe her surroundings.

I suddenly smelled this!?

She took a few steps back and moved towards the direction of the tribe.

The next second, a hand landed on my shoulder.

Wen Li was shocked and struggled to break free from the other person, turning around.

The man who appeared behind her was an unfamiliar male. Wen Li had never seen him before, and he was clearly not from the tribe.

The man was handsome, but the aura he exuded was unsettling. He was staring at Wen Li with a smile.

“I’ve been watching you for a while now,” he suddenly said.

Wen Li was startled and finally realized the source of her discomfort.

Stray beast!
She decisively ran towards the tribe, shouting, "There's a stray—ooh!"

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.

His speed was on a completely different level from Wen Li's; he was far, far faster.

The man's sinister voice fell into her ear, "You're quite perceptive, aren't you? But no one can help you. You'd better come with me."

The man chuckled softly, put one arm around Wen Li, and ran into the woods.

No matter how hard Wen Li struggled, she couldn't break free.

Wen Li was horrified.

Didn't they say the stray beast had already left?
Why is this guy in the tribe, and why is he so brazenly showing up at the tribe's entrance?!

What's the difference between this and a criminal loitering around in front of a police station?

How dare he be so bold!?
Fearing that Wen Li would make a fuss and attract attention, the stray beast stopped and stuffed something into her mouth.

Wen Li quickly fainted.

At the same time, not long after Wen Li was abducted, the ordinary-looking man came to the vicinity of the banyan tree again.

He subconsciously glanced in the direction where Wen Li was, but didn't see her. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

They ran into Uncle Zhao and his group, who arrived late.
