Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 40: Tear Off Her Face

Xu Chi looked at the little female in surprise, not expecting her to be so wary.

"Yes, and these two are among the stronger of the remaining orcs," Xu Chi nodded in agreement.

Si Shuo's heart tightened. "Is something wrong? I have a feeling Chu Man has been holding back something big these past few days!"

What are you most afraid of on the grassland?

She had a vague suspicion, and her face paled as she said, "Xu Chi, are they going to lure some ferocious beasts from the grasslands?"

There were quite a few orcs left behind. Even though the male warriors beside Chu Man were powerful, they didn't dare to openly commit evil deeds. At most, they would launch a challenge like last time.

Moreover, most holy females cherish their reputation, hoping to encounter males with good fighting skills and successfully bring them to their side.

During their trip to Nanye City, Chu Man, for the sake of her reputation, could not bring the matter to the forefront.

If a group of ferocious beasts were to come while 30% of the beastmen were out hunting, it would be difficult for Xu Chi, who was considered a level 3 beastman by others, to protect Si Shuo.

If Si Shuo were to meet with misfortune, Ji Liang would lose all his resolve!

Xu Chi's eyes were cold and deep as he looked around at the pitch-black surroundings. The grassland at night was as silent as a ferocious beast with its mouth open, waiting for its prey to walk into its trap and then chew it up. "The big-tailed gray wolves in the grassland like to hunt in packs, and these beasts are particularly vengeful. They will fight to the death with their enemies. Even if it were me and Ji Liang, it would be difficult to escape unscathed if we encountered a wolf pack of medium or larger size."

Si Shuo pursed his lips. "Hopefully we're overthinking it. She... she can't possibly drag so many beastmen down with her for her own selfish desires, can she?"

Xu Chi pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back. "Si Shuo, don't be afraid, I can protect you. Don't forget, I have wings!"

Si Shuo's heart was still heavy. Looking at the beastmen chatting and laughing around the campfire, he asked Xu Chi to temporarily remove the protective shield.

She took a deep breath, smiled, and asked loudly, "Chu Mansheng, it seems that the two strongest beastmen who stayed by your side have been gone for a long time."

Shouldn't you send people to look for them? There are many ferocious beasts that come out at night on the grasslands, and they like to travel in groups. Hopefully, they won't wander off and attract the beasts.

If Chu Man dares to do that, disregarding the safety of so many beastmen, then Si Shuo will tear her face off!

As she spoke, the beastmen all turned to look at Chu Man.

After traveling together for several days, the number of beastmen accompanying the Holy Mother and their combat strength were of great interest.

Chu Man's face was pale, but she forced a smile: "There are many of us in the family, and the males eat a lot. Wu Jun and Gan Mu were worried that we wouldn't have enough to eat, so they went to chase after the hunting beastmen."

Si Shuo, I know you harbor resentment towards me, but weren't your words a bit excessive?

"With so many of us orcs, we'd be drawn to any pack of ferocious beasts nearby. How is that my beastman husband's fault?"

Si Shuo smiled and said, "I just wanted to learn from the Holy Female how to coexist peacefully with so many beast husbands, so I paid more attention to it."

"I was worried because I found out that the strongest males had all left!"

After saying that, she patted Xu Chi's arm, raised the protective shield again, and ignored Chu Man.

Si Shuo looked through the items in the supermarket, pondering which ones could cheaply and effectively deal with the worst-case scenario without exposing his true abilities.

Chu Man was so angry that her chest heaved. She gritted her teeth and whispered a few words to the people beside her, "Go and call them back. Remember not to attract the gray wolf pack." The male looked at the dead silence of the night, his brows furrowed, and responded. Under everyone's gaze, he transformed into a brown bear and ran away.

But the brown bear hadn't been gone long when some of the orcs smelled a strong stench of blood in the air. They jumped to their feet, their faces changing drastically, and exclaimed, "This is bad! There's definitely a pack of ferocious beasts nearby!"

The group hurriedly packed their belongings. The night was as thick as ink. A cat-owl orc flew into the air to check the situation. Upon seeing the densely packed, walnut-sized, paired firefly-green creatures, his voice trembled: "We're surrounded by wolf beasts... so many wolf beasts..."

As his voice faded, the big-tailed gray wolves howled excitedly.

Shouts came from all directions, even from the other side of the narrow river!

It was clear that more than just one or two herds of beasts were attracted; their numbers were so great that even high-ranking beastmen trembled with fear.

Chu Man's face turned extremely pale, because she felt three beast marks on her body burning hot, almost suffocatingly so, and then the beast marks slowly faded...

"No, that's not how it is! Wu Jun and the others are so powerful, how could they possibly be dead?" She couldn't help but shake her head and scream in disbelief.

Those were level seven ape-beastmen, elephant-beastmen, and level six brown bear-beastmen. How could they be easily killed by a pack of ferocious beasts?

The higher the rank of the male, the more arrogant he is, and even a holy female cannot easily win his heart.

The group was already terrified, their hands and feet were cold, and they couldn't move. When they heard that even a level seven male had become food for the ferocious beasts, they were filled with even greater despair.

Are they going to perish here tonight?

Si Shuo pointed to the several buckets of extra-strong pepper spray that had been prepared and whispered to Xu Chi, "Xu Chi, use your wind-type ability to see if you can spray this pepper spray on those gray wolf packs."

Be careful to avoid orcs; this stuff is extremely harmful to their eyes, and even a little bit on their skin will cause a burning sensation.

Xu Chi nodded, and with a slight lift of his hand, a small whirlwind swept up all the chili water from the wooden buckets, adding an extra layer of protection to prevent the pungent smell from escaping.

The whirlwind split into countless streams, each carrying potent pepper spray and protected by a shield, silently drifting over the wolf pack confronting the orcs.

Wind is an omnipresent element in nature, especially on the grasslands at night. The wind howls in your ears, and in such a tense atmosphere, who can notice these harmless air pepper packets?

Seeing that he was ready, Si Shuo snapped his fingers.

Xu Chi touched her hair, and the small whirlwinds broke through the outer protective shield. The pepper spray, like a rain of pear blossom needles, shot obliquely towards the faces of the gray wolves and beasts.

The speed was so fast that the gray wolves and wild beasts didn't even have time to blink!

The moment the pepper spray touched their eyes, the burning pain caused the gray wolves to writhe and howl in agony.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and kill the big-tailed gray wolf!" Si Shuo shouted urgently when he saw that the beastmen were still in a daze.

The beastmen then realized what was happening, their faces lighting up with joy. Except for the beastmen guarding the females, the rest of them all transformed into beast forms and pounced on the big-tailed gray wolves.

The gray wolf with the large tail, which had temporarily lost its fighting ability, was quickly and swiftly harvested by the beastmen, who killed it with a single blow.

Even if some of the big-tailed gray wolves didn't get caught, they were no longer a threat to the beastmen who were getting stronger with each battle.

The fear, despair, and resentment from before have all transformed into intense fighting spirit and a chilling atmosphere!

As the hunt was drawing to a close, the beastmen who had gone out hunting were also found by the flying beasts, who attacked from both sides, and all the thousands of gray wolves were killed.

The heavy stench of blood wafted far and wide, but this time, it was no longer an alluring lure, but more like a death warrant; no ferocious beast dared to approach...
