CHAPTER 9

Are these... all monsters?!

Wang Jin felt a sudden pain in his head, and after a while, he remembered that this is a world of beastmen, where men have beast shapes.

It's just that the original body has never seen an orc transform in his memory, and Wang Jin has never seen it in this world... He didn't think of it for a while.

Mugeer was very scared and hugged Ayuan tightly, crying quietly. Ayuan tried to comfort him, but he seemed unsure of what to say.

Wang Jin tried to get up, but felt dizzy as soon as he stood.

He swayed a bit, couldn't stand straight, and felt like he was going to fall... Strong hands held him up, and he gripped them tightly, trying to see who it was, but everything blurred and turned black... His hand slipped down, and the voice faded away...

Slowly, Wang Jin woke up and heard Mugeer's voice filled with feelings.

Mugeer said. "Brother Heng, they have been very mean to Ah Jin... If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't know what would've happened to us...'"

"It's okay, Mumu. I won't let anything happen to your or Ah Jin. "Yuan Heng said softly, comforting Mugeer.

Wang Jin moved his wrist, opened his mouth, and softly made a sound: "Ouch..."

Suddenly, the hold relaxed, and a gentle touch took its place as the man leaned in closer, looking worried. "Are you up? Do you hurt?"

Wang Jin shifted a bit and winced in pain. He frowned and said sadly, "It hurts...everywhere."

"..." The man looked worried.

Wang Jin struggled to sit up, and the man used his hands to help him sit up slowly.

When Wang Jin sat up, he looked at his body and saw fresh bruises on top of the faded ones. Some parts of his skin were cut, with lines drawn on the wounds. He had asked the men to pick herbs to cover some of the cuts. Seeing the new injuries, Wang Jin felt more pain all over his body, which made his heart heavy.

The man stared at his brother, who looked sad and on the verge of tears. He felt a mix of pain and anger in his heart that he couldn't express.

The man stared at his brother, who looked sad and on the verge of tears. He felt a mix of pain and anger in his heart that he couldn't express.

"Ah Jin, you really frightened us." Brother Mu moved closer and gave Wang Jin a gentle hug.

Wang Jin gasped, even a slight touch brought pain all over his body.

Wang Jin softly pushed Mugeer away. Mugeer's eyes were teary, and besides looking a bit embarrassed, he didn't have many injuries, just some small cuts that had already been taken care of.

Wang Jin glanced around and saw over a dozen orcs staring at them. The orcs seemed curious and unsure, with some even smiling warmly when they made eye contact with Wang Jin.

However, these individuals were somewhat hurt, each using a healing ointment.

Wang Jin glanced around and realized they were no longer in a dark place but in a jungle with incredibly tall trees all around. The man behind Wang Jin suddenly touch him, causing Wang Jin to cry out in pain and give the man a questioning look.

The man was briefly shocked, then quietly said something to explain: "... Putting on the medicine." It was only at that moment that Wang Jin noticed a bunch of healing paste on a nearby rock, and the man was using it to treat his wounds with one hand.

Wang Jin reacted nervously and said, "Please... be kind."

The man stopped and seemed to calm down a little.

Everyone thought to themselves that this crazy person was unwilling to let anyone near him and would react strongly if approached by anyone.

Now, it appeared that this little crazy person was already very charming; with a cute look, everyone secretly envied to Yuan Heng.

Lai Yuan glanced at Yuan Heng, paused briefly, and then went towards him.

This particular Lai Yuan was sincere and slender. Compared to the other orcs in the group, he had the most wounds on his body.

When he got closer to the man, he suddenly dropped to his knees.

His sudden behavior surprised everyone.

"Ayuan? What are you doing?" Some orcs stood up, and one of them approached. Yuan Heng, who was holding Wang Jin, didn't act but gestured for someone to stop Lai Yuan.

However, Lai Yuan declined to stand up. "Xiao Ruo, this doesn't concern you, please don't interfere."

"Xiao Ruo looked concerned. "We've been friends for a long time, so if you have something on your mind, just tell us. Your behavior today is strange."

"Ayuan, what's going on with you? Don't give Brother Heng a hard time..." Brother Mu also seemed puzzled. He tried to assist Lai Yuan, but Lai Yuan declined.

Yuan Heng agreed with Xiao Ruo and said. "Xiao Ruo is right, you should get up first, A Yuan." His words had a magical effect, making others follow his command without hesitation.

Lai Yuan stood up and said to Brother Heng, "Even though I am the weakest orc in the tribe, Mumu is my brother and the most important person to me!"

"Mumu has trouble with his legs and feet, so the other brothers in the tribe always secretly bully him. It's not fair. Jin's leadership role is clear, but when Mumu stood up for Jin Ge'er, the leader ignored him and let Mumu and Jin Ge'er be bullied together!"

"This time it was even too much to push him out of the tribe and into this dangerous area! This is Mumu's life! Even though I am the weakest orc in the tribe, I don't want my brother to be killed by such bullies!"

As Lai Yuan spoke, his whole body trembled, as if he was trying to bear something. Mugeer heard this, looked at Lai Yuan with red eyes, and reached out to gently hold his hand.

As Lai Yuan spoke, he trembled, as if he was struggling with something. Mugeer, seeing this, looked at Lai Yuan with red eyes and reached out to hold his hand gently.

Their fingers intertwined, and Lai Yuan felt guilty. Mu, his brother, had not known any comfort since following him, but he was too frail. Standing up for his brother was a challenge for him.

At First, the two thought they would calm down and let it go, but this time was different.

This time, they wanted Mumu's life!

All the orcs know that the giant python in the deep cave is very dangerous. They are always careful when they go to get fruit in the deep cave because they don't want to make the giant python angry.

Regular orcs can't fight the big snake, not even a brother, but they still pushed him down like that!!

If Cai Mumu didn't meet the team that came back, if there weren't many orcs in the team, and if Yuan Heng wasn't there, Lai Yuan couldn't bear to think about what might happen, and he felt scared for a moment.

Lai Yuan wasn't the only one afraid.

Yuan Heng seemed calm on the outside, but deep down, he was still upset. He almost lost the little crazy person. Yuan Heng clenched his fists, digging his fingertips into his palm, feeling pain that stopped him from acting impulsively.

He breathed deeply and said in a rough voice: "I am also responsible for this. You don't have to remind me; I won't ignore it."

A cloud of confusion appeared on Yuan Heng's forehead; the cold look in his eyes was frightening, and the scary scars on his face looked even scarier at that time.

Lai Yuan wanted to say more, but feeling scared, he couldn't look at the man and just wanted to lower his head.

After listening to Yuan Heng, the orcs knew that something was going to happen when they returned. Some tried to stop him, but Yuan Heng's presence was too intimidating, and all of them fell silent, scared of what that man would do.

Everyone became quiet as the man carried Wang Jin on his back. Wang Jin hugged the man tightly.

The man said coldly. "Take the prey and let's head home."

"Head back..." The man stopped, turned to Wang Jin holding onto him, and gently promised, "I will make things right for you."

"Will he take revenge for me?" Wang Jin asked himself.

When Wang Jin heard the word, he became excited and energized. His mind was active, and his eyes were moving quickly.

Recalling the man's courage in battling the giant python, he admired the man's muscular arms.

This man truly deserves numerous praises, maybe even a hundred.

"Wang Jin wanted to fight back hardly!" Wang Jin insisted.

Wang Jin's voice was angry and slightly excited, which was very different from his weak cry of pain earlier.

"You're right, Wang Jin." The man agreed, sounding calm yet confident. "We won't hold back."

Wang Jin nodded eagerly, his earlier concern now turned into a firm decision. "They must understand they cannot challenge us!." He said, sounding a bit angry but feeling justified.

The man smiled more at Wang Jin's strong statement. "We will make them sorry for going against us." He promised, a sly smile forming as he thought of numerous scenarios on how he would get his revenge.

Wang Jin's eyes lit up with excitement as he held onto the man tightly, not letting go. "Don't worry." He said confidently. "I won't go easy on them."

Wang Jin angrily said, "It's fine, if you beat them to death!"

The man smiled and assured, "If anything happens, I'll take the blame."

Wang Jin laughed happily, hugged the man tightly, rested his head on the man's neck, and moved closer to him.

Listening to the conversation between the two, everyone was surprised.

The small crazy one was indeed a bit wild... Just as expected, he was still fierce by nature!

However...

Even though the small crazy one spoke harshly, he still obediently lay on the orc's back... Such a tiny figure... It always seemed a bit adorable.

The man's legs dangled as he moved, swaying and shaking people's emotions. The strange person appeared unlike what others had heard.

"Hey, stop it"

Wang Jin was leaning on the man's back, feeling calm and observing his surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed a plant that looked like a banana leaf, and an idea came to him. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he tightened his grip around the man's waist from behind, causing the man to struggle to walk normally.

The man gazed at the bright white legs, feeling thirsty, and asked in a rough voice. "What's the matter?"

"That... I like those..." Wang Jin gestured towards the green banana leaves he noticed.

The man glanced where he was pointing and replied sadly. "Those are only weeds..."

The man stopped for a moment. Last time, he talked about weeds, and then this little crazy person made medicine from weeds.

This time...

The man walked to the "banana leaf" quietly and asked, "How many do you need?"

"The more, the better," Wang Jin said after thinking about it for a bit.

The man stayed quiet for a bit, chose two pieces, and gave them to Wang Jin, saying, "I'll choose two for you now, and then I'll pick some more by myself, alright?"

Wang Jin looked unhappy as he frowned because the leaves were large, making it hard to get two, and impossible to get more. The people behind him also took some things in their hands.

He quietly stopped talking and kept his complaints to himself.

A group of people came back to the tribe in a powerful manner.

Once they arrived, Yuan Heng called for Lai Yuan and Mugeer, with Wang Jin on his back, and they all went straight in a particular direction.

Everyone was a bit concerned. Xiao Ruo reassured everyone, took a moment to think, then changed in another direction.

The man stop after walking for a while.

Wang Jin looked with interest. Ahead of them was a big room split into three partst. Left, center, and right. It appeared that three families resided there.
