Transmigrating to the Beast World and Raising Cubs with a Black Panther

As the sun set, the temperature dropped significantly, and the wind outside the cave picked up, bringing a chill that seeped in.

Even when they speak, you can vaguely see some mist.

Bai Ze rubbed his hands together, wrapped the animal skin around his body tightly, and moved closer to the fire.

Mo took out a fur-lined blanket and draped it over him: "Stay here, I'll be back soon."

Bai Ze grabbed Mo's hand: "Where are you going?"

"Take advantage of the fact that there aren't many hyena beastmen around right now." Mo patted Bai Ze's hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After saying that, he walked towards the cave entrance.

Si and Li are also ready.

Several black panthers burst out of the cave in an instant, and a chorus of low growls and howls immediately followed outside.

Due to the difference in size and lethality, hyena-men often win by overwhelming the enemy with numbers and by launching surprise attacks.

Mo and Si quickly launched an attack, not to kill, but to catch the hyena beastmen and specifically attack their abdomens and legs, causing them to be wounded and forced to retreat.

Once a hyena orc is injured, its aggressiveness will be greatly reduced, and the entire team's siege plan will be disrupted.

The howling wind carried angry screams, and the thick darkness concealed the bloody battle.

The cave entrance was guarded by a black leopard, while hyenas lurked in the jungle outside, creating a tense atmosphere.

Bai Ze nervously bit his finger, trying to find Mo and the others through the gap in the cave entrance.

But it was too dark outside, so the noise was amplified, each sound hitting my heart and making me even more worried.

Jue and Xi stood close to Bai Ze, their faces tense and their expressions unusually serious.

Suddenly, it started to rain. At first, it was just a light drizzle, but then it got heavier and heavier, and the rain was being driven into the cave by the wind.

Bai Ze covered the two children with animal skin blankets, then got up and found various shell containers that had been exchanged for the merfolk, placing them at the cave entrance to collect rainwater.

The sounds of fighting faded into the distance, and the eerie green eyes around them slowly receded.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo and his companions walked in, soaking wet, and the cave was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.

The fire was blown about by the wind, and even in the dim light, their disheveled faces could still be seen.

Looking at the scratches on her arm, Li couldn't help but gasp, "I didn't expect so many to come."

I initially thought there were only about twenty of them, but the more we fought, the more there seemed to be. I guess the entire tribe that could move came to raid them.

Kun was even more unlucky; he didn't even dare to sit down because a hyena bit him on his right buttock. Although he didn't have time to exert any force before being kicked away, the pain was still real.

"It got so cold so suddenly." Yan quickly dried himself off and put on his clothes.

Despite their usual playful bickering, Xi still cared deeply for Yan, fearing that the beast father might be missing an arm or a leg. As soon as he came in, Xi rushed forward and carefully examined Yan from head to toe.

Then he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yan grabbed Xi and ruffled his hair a few times: "Go, get the medicine from the bag."

"Oh." Xi, unusually, did not resist and obediently ran over to get the things.

Mo was getting dressed in the corner. When Bai Ze went over, he saw several bloody scratches on his shoulder. The blood mixed with rainwater and flowed down the muscle lines of his back.

Bai Ze held Mo's hand, his brows furrowed: "Don't put on your shirt yet."

Jue quickly went to get the medicine.

Mo grasped Bai Ze's icy hand: "Let's go to the campfire."

Orcs do have a strong self-healing ability. As long as they don't injure vital parts, bones, or arteries, other superficial wounds usually heal very quickly.

In the firelight, the claw marks looked even more ferocious. Bai Ze pursed his lips and sat silently beside Mo, applying medicine to him.

The pain was not reduced in the slightest by his good physical condition, but Mo was able to endure it, and his face remained calm throughout.

After finishing, Bai Ze had just stood up when Mo immediately grabbed his hand.

Bai Ze: "Don't use your arm."

Mo loosened his grip, but still didn't let go.

Aren't you hungry?

"good."

Bai Ze patted his head: "I'll get you something to eat, it's too cold."

Because Bai Ze taught the mermaids how to cook, they gave him a large tortoise shell as a token of their gratitude.

It's grayish-black, and at first glance it looks like a big iron pot from the countryside.

According to the mermaid chieftain, this is the shell of a turtle-like creature that lives in the deep sea. It is very hard and fire-resistant, and can be used as a pot.

However, due to the difficulty of fishing and the scarcity of fish, they have never traded with other tribes.

Bai Ze found some stones and built a simple stove. Then he put the turtle shell on it, poured the collected rainwater into the pot, and after it boiled, he put in dried seafood to make soup.

On a cold, gloomy day, a bowl of this makes you feel completely comfortable.

Even at night, they dared not relax. The hyena-men were the most cunning, and all the uninjured black panthers lay near the cave entrance, taking turns guarding it.

Mo and the others then rested inside.

Bai Ze was worried that Mo's wound would get infected and inflamed, so he would touch Mo's forehead from time to time to check his temperature.

Mo simply hugged him from behind, burying his head in Bai Ze's shoulder to make it easier for him to move.

As the rain subsided, Si gazed intently at the dark cave entrance, praying that the rain would end soon.

Bai Ze was very cold. Even nestled in Mo's belly, hugging the beast-shaped Xi and Jue, his hands and feet were still icy cold. He woke up several times during the night, shivering as he shrank into the animal-skin blankets.

The rain stopped when it was light, and it was cold and damp outside.

Bai Ze felt that the temperature had dropped below zero.

"Are you cold?" Mo asked, staring at his bloodless lips.

Bai Ze put his stiff hands into his pockets: "I'm fine."

Mo reached out and touched Bai Ze's face, his brows furrowing slightly. He then wrapped Bai Ze tightly in a fur blanket.

"We'll be back soon."

"Um."

But they clearly underestimated the patience of the hyena-men; within ten meters of the cave entrance, there were only sinister green eyes.

Yan, who always believed in "going all out and fighting", had a serious expression.

Li sighed: "I guess the entire tribe of hyena beastmen has come."

Si's gaze fell into the cave. Faced with so many hyena beastmen, it would be difficult to protect the salt they had exchanged.

But the temperature has already started to drop, making it impossible to make another trade with the merfolk. At that point, the entire Black Panther tribe will face a salt shortage during the cold wave.

Kun clenched his fist: "How about we split into two teams? One team can hold them off, and the other team can take the salt and leave first."

Yan: "It's not that simple. They won't give up so easily."

Bai Ze listened to their conversation, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you know the location of the hyena tribe?"

Mo nodded: "Yes, it's not far from here."

"Would that hyena-like beastman care about the safety of the sub-beastmen and their cubs?"

Li: "Of course, every tribe will prioritize the safety of the sub-beastmen and their cubs."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze said, "There shouldn't be many beastmen left in their tribe. Perhaps we can send some to feign an attack on their tribe."

"Lure the hyena orcs back."

"The rest of them took the opportunity to travel, leave their territory, and then find a place to reunite."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the beastmen turned to look at Bai Ze.

Bai Ze felt a little awkward under her gaze: "W-what's wrong?"

Yan exclaimed with admiration, "Bai Ze, how can you be so smart?!"

Si nodded: "Good idea."

"Bai Ze, you're amazing!"

Feeling a little guilty from the praise, Bai Ze forced a smile.

There's nothing special about it; our ancestors were simply outstanding.
