Startled by him, Xu Wan shoved him hard.

"When...when did you wake up?"

Isn't it said that anesthetics can knock out an adult elephant? How come the half-king orcs have such high tolerance?

She stared at him for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hey, do you feel weak and sleepy right now?"

Wataru smirked. "Little female, you're the first person... to ambush me."

Xu Wan straightened up, stretched out her index finger and shook it, but the smile on her lips didn't fade.

"Hmm~"

She mimicked his tone, raising the pitch at the end of her sentence.

"Not only that, I was also the first person to survive."

Hearing her say that, he struggled to lift his eyes and glance at her.

"Are you so sure... I won't kill you?"

"certainly."

She pointed to his forehead, drawing out her words.

"Because...you're my beast husband now~"

Seeing his expression stiffen as she wished, Xu Wan bent down and patted his face.

"Your bond mark is on your forehead, Lord City Lord~"

"you……"

Du Yu's hands, hanging by her sides, trembled, unable to muster any strength.

Seeing him like this, her pent-up frustration dissipated considerably.

"It just makes you feel weak; you'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

After saying that, she turned and left. She paused for a moment as she walked out of the cave, but did not look back, and continued on her way.

As he watched her figure disappear from his sight, Du Yu chuckled softly.

"That little female who wouldn't even leave her name, we'll meet again..."

Xu Wan, who was busy navigating, suddenly shuddered.

She rubbed her arms. "Why do I feel like I'm being watched by something unclean?"

[Host, Du Yu's favorability has increased by two points, with a current favorability of 5 points.]

"You want to form a bond with someone with only 5 points of affection? People here aren't reserved at all."

Xu Wan rolled her eyes inwardly.

These guys don't even understand what liking or loving means, yet they rush in shouting about forming a contract or a female master.

Looking at her 95 hours of health, she shook her head and quickened her pace.

We need to find Zhuyou as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if that crazy raven caught her, she estimated she would die a terrible death.

But compared to that, she felt she should still buy an old Chinese calendar.

See if it says above that it's not advisable to travel today.

"Tongzi, tell me, who runs faster, a rabbit or a sheep?"

[Host, you are a rabbit.]

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Wan turned and ran.

Hearing the relentless growls chasing after her, she only hated herself for not being able to transform into a beast like the males.

But she soon realized something was wrong.

Using her excellent jumping ability, she leaped onto the nearest tree and began to slow her breathing to observe the situation.

Five ferocious beasts emerged from different directions and surrounded the tree where she was.

The mad sheep stopped at the back, as if it had completed its mission, and did not come any closer.

Her gaze swept across the area under the tree, finally settling on the only ferocious beast that was looking up at her.

Seeing the greed and drool that was about to overflow from its eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Could it be... a fourth-tier ferocious beast, the kind that has gained intelligence?

The tree trunk suddenly shook violently, and she quickly hugged it tightly.

Several ferocious beasts under the tree were ramming the trunk with their horns, trying to knock the tree down and make her fall.

She touched the four crossbow bolts in the animal skin bag, her mind racing.

She is now facing not mindless, reckless beasts.

Once the crossbow bolts are dodged, she will only face an even more ferocious counterattack.

Therefore... not a single arrow can miss!

At that moment, she was incredibly grateful that she had always been a good shot when playing shooting games.

"Let's take a gamble then."

She changed her position, using the leaves as cover, and aimed at the body of one of the ferocious beasts.

"call out!"

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out.

She dared not delay, and before the fourth-tier ferocious beast could react, she fired the remaining three crossbow bolts.

"roar……"

Judging from the sound, it should be successful.

She glanced down and, sure enough, only this fourth-tier ferocious beast remained.

But this angered the guy.

The frequency of the impacts on the tree trunk increased, and the shaking became more and more intense, so she could only hold on tightly to the trunk.

There was only one tranquilizer dart left in the animal skin bag.

In this situation, if she lets go, she'll probably fall into the beast's mouth first and become its meal.

Ninety-five hours, 5700 points.

She quickly opened the system shop, ready to exchange for a weapon capable of killing a fourth-tier ferocious beast.

[Host, you haven't found a beast mate yet. If your health points run out, you will die.]

She stiffened and sighed softly.

"I should have known better than to form a pact with Du Yu. Now there's another one to die with me."

The sound of a tree trunk breaking rang out. Xu Wan didn't have time to think further and decisively switched to an enhanced version of the Flame Gun.

With 5500 points, she refused to believe she couldn't kill this disgusting thing!

More than ninety hours of health points vanished in an instant, a pain even greater than using health points as points for the first time.

Gritting her teeth and enduring this near-death experience, she clenched her palms tightly, afraid that she might lose the initiative if she lost her focus for even a moment.

[Warning! Host's health is less than four hours away!]

Xu Wan twitched the corners of her mouth and let out a crazy laugh.

"Chief, if I survive this, how about you give me ten high-level treasure chests?"

The system's urgent responses were accompanied by a noisy electrical hum.

[Host! Please don't joke around at a time like this!]

"joke?"

Xu Wan stood up, and at the moment the tree trunk broke completely and collapsed rapidly, she exerted force with her feet.

A clear sound rang out simultaneously with the flames.

"This is... a little something to add some fun to life~"

Xu Wan's face shone brightly in the firelight, and her lips curled up in a wild, unprecedentedly exhilarating smile.

In the years that followed, whenever the system saw her wanting to take risks again, it would always recall that moment.

Fourth-tier ferocious beasts also possess special abilities, and coincidentally, they are also fire-based.

Unfortunately, before it could even exhale the flames from its mouth, it was blasted back by Xu Wan's Fiery Spear.

"boom!"

Flames exploded inside its body, and Xu Wan, unable to dodge, was violently thrown aside by the aftershocks of the explosion.

"Cough cough..."

Enduring the rising stench of blood, she lay on the ground and quickly glanced at the ferocious beast that had been reduced to a jigsaw puzzle.

What a pity. If it had been preserved intact, it might have yielded a higher-level beast crystal.

She moved her fingers, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

"Child, I'm feeling sleepy..."

Hearing her say that, the system's alarm went up to the maximum in her mind.

[Host! You can't sleep! You mustn't sleep! Xu Wan, wake up!]

Hearing the system call her name, Xu Wan's eyelids, which were almost closed, twitched.

She forced a smile, instinctively trying to crack a joke at him.

[They don't call me host anymore?]

Speaking of which... I haven't told Wataru my name yet...
