e situation was hopeless and didn't want to be captured. They bit open the poison sacs hidden in their teeth and took their own lives. Their clothes had no special markings, and besides swords, there...Meng and Du naturally refused. They had to hurry to the Tiger Clan and wouldn't join nearby tribes, but they also understood the concerns of these small beast clans. Meng simply told them:

"The feral orcs lurking nearby have already been sent back to the embrace of their Beast God. You need not worry about them disrupting your tribe after we depart."

This result was also within the expectations of several orc chieftains. Now that they had a definite answer, they no longer strongly demanded that Duguomeng join the tribe.

The ripple turtle retreated to a cave behind the waterfall, spending the last month of the hot season. As time entered the harvest season, Meng and Du also finished their tasks. This time, led by Wei, the group set off towards the tiger clan territory.

This time, Ripple was riding directly on Wei's back, walking leisurely through the forest. Because it was harvest season, many things had ripened. Along the way, Ripple didn't idle either, directing the three of them to collect a lot of things.

There are all kinds of delicious fruits, shelled chestnuts, and peanuts buried in the ground, as well as soybeans. This has made ripples now accustomed to drinking a cup of soy milk every morning.

And the grinding plate used to grind soy milk was made by Meng under Ripple's guidance, chipping away at stones. It was too small and delicate for orcs, so it became Ripple's personal stone mill.

At the end of the first month of harvest, ripples and her party reached the edge of Tiger Clan territory.

Meng and Du were still discussing how to enter the tiger clan's territory most appropriately, while Wei walked back and forth impatiently and then said to Lianyi:

I smell the scent of a she-tiger, it's warm... but I don't know how she could be on the outskirts of the tiger territory.

The ripples, after hearing this, spoke directly:

"What are you still standing there for Go and have a look!"

"Great!"

Only after receiving a nod of consent from the ripples did Wei dive into the water, transforming into a yellow and black striped tiger. He leaped out with a powerful bound.

And Meng and Du arrived beside Lian Yi and asked:

"Messenger, shall we go and see as well"

"Go and have a look. If it really is female, we'll have a legitimate reason to enter the Tiger Clan's territory."

Ripple thinks this is a good opportunity.

Meng and Du also understood the meaning of ripples. Following Wei's departure, the three of them closely followed into the Tiger Tribe territory.

Half an hour later, they found Wei and a tigress in a thicket of bushes.

...at this time, only he was holding the unconscious female, constantly calling out:

"Warm! Warm! Wake up, don't scare me!"

Ripples glanced over and immediately saw that the female was pregnant. Her protruding belly gave it away, and at this time there was fresh blood flowing from her groin, clearly not a good sign. She was panicked and didn't know what to do.

After hearing the sound, Wei Cai only then realized there were three of them and immediately cried out to Lian Yi for help:

"Messenger, please save warmth!"

The ripple nodded and walked straight up, grasping the female's wrist. Then, her beastmark between her brows flickered, a surge of power traveling along the wrist into the other's body, directly to the abdomen, gradually repairing the damaged area.

Twenty minutes later, the bleeding from the other's lower abdomen finally stopped. Ripple then retracted her power from within her beast mark. A moment later, the female faintly regained consciousness. The first thing she saw was Wei, and she immediately excitedly grabbed his arm, stammering:

"Please, save the young ones in my belly!"

A look of sadness flashed across Wei's face, but she still nodded and said:

"Warmth, rest assured, the Ripple Sprite is here. Your young ones will be fine."

Warmed by the words, she finally turned her head with difficulty, looking at Ripple who was holding her wrist. She nodded hard, then fell asleep again.

Let's go! This isn't a place for reminiscing, warmth needs rest.

Ripple spoke directly.

And when he had heard it, he immediately picked up the warmth and said to the three people:

"Come with me, I know a cliff with a cave, perfect for hiding."

"Come on, let Meng hold onto the warmth, you lead the way in front, that way we'll be faster."

Ripples spoke directly.

After hearing this, Wei hesitated for a moment before still placing the warmth gently into Meng's hand. Then, she turned and transformed into her beast form, leading the way ahead.

The ripples sat alone on the boat this time. The group of four, plus a pregnant woman, quickly disappeared from where they had been previously.

About an hour after they left, a band of male orcs arrived at the warm resting place.

"Look, here, this should be warm blood on her body."

"Bloodstains dotted the path, it was unclear how she managed to make it here."

"Uh oh, there's another male beastman's scent!"

"How many"

"It seems like three, or maybe four! Did they take the warmth away"

One of the orcs blurted out his own guess.

A shadow flashed across his handsome face, and he then said:

Regardless of whether it's three or four, they are all invaders and must be found. Perhaps they have already laid their hands on the warmth.

"Great!"

Immediately, five more orcs transformed into beast forms and followed the scent left by the invading orcs.

And at this time, Wei had already led everyone, climbing into the cave hidden in the middle of the cliff face along a thick vine.

With nimble hands, he spread a thick layer of animal skins on the ground and then gently lowered the warm blanket.

Even with the bumps, Warmth didn't wake up, seeming exhausted.

Ripple asked Wei directly:

"Is there a place here where I can start a fire She must be starving. Running all that way has surely affected the cubs in her belly. She needs to eat now so she can regain her strength and keep her cubs safe."

Yes, this cave is narrow and long. There's a place inside suitable for making a fire.

Then don't just stand there, go build a fire and boil some soup! The smell won't attract the tiger tribe orcs, will it

The ripples asked another question.

"No, the wind blows in from the entrance, and this cave goes upwards. The smell won't be blown out."

Then, he carried a beast skin bundle and walked into the cave. I followed him alone. Meng moved the giant stone ball standing at the entrance of the cave, blocking it up. Instantly, the inside of the cave became dark.

Their speed was impressive; after starting a fire, they quickly placed a piece of beef bone in the stone pot to begin simmering. Then, they strung together chunks of meat that had been hunted and prepared onto skewers and began grilling them over the flames.

Liàn yī passed by and looked at the surroundings. This upward-facing small cave was only ten square meters. She directly said to Wéi:

"Bring your warmth here, it will be warmer with the fire going. It's harvest season now, and the temperatures are a bit low in the mornings and evenings. She is pregnant now, so it's best not to get cold."

He just nodded, said nothing, and turned to bring in the warmth along with the furs.

Half an hour later, after the bone broth was simmered, Lian Ri made some simple seasonings and let Wei Wei warm up. After drinking a whole bowl of soup, Wei Wei finally woke up slowly.Meng family's head had not dissipated, but instead rolled with increasing ferocity. Ripples stepped onto the red lotus flames one step at a time and walked into the sky above the Meng family. She ope...
