Rebirth With the Beast_16
Chapter 90 continued...
Tang Yu held the bow and arrows, but he had no chance to use them.
Su Yi had Xinor carry him into the air, which allowed him to observe the others around him while also providing long-range support with his crossbow.
Aide was a pitch-black hunting leopard. Every time he bit a rogue orc, he would flap his black wings and carry the orc into the air before dropping him down.
On the orc continent, if an orc's beast form had fur of a single color, it indicated that the orc had pure bloodline and could become a brave and skilled warrior.
Seeing Aide's beast form, Su Yi couldn't help but think of Xie and Xinor's beast forms. Both of them were completely snow-white. The only difference was that one was covered in snow-white fur, and the other was covered in impenetrable scales like armor.
Thinking about it, Su Yi couldn't help but reach out and touch Xinor's scales, which were as beautiful as crystal and as hard as armor.
The little omega in Su Yi's arms couldn't help but touch them too, then suddenly said, "When I grow up, I want to pair with such a powerful orc." The child's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. His tone was firm, but his words came out haltingly. Su Yi looked at his small arms and felt a sudden pang in his heart. He pulled the child closer, and the child turned to look at him and continued, "That way, no one can bully me."
Su Yi nodded fiercely, then rubbed the child's little belly. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat when we get out?"
The child was stunned for a moment, his large, bulging eyes staring blankly at Su Yi. Su Yi felt uncomfortable under that gaze and was about to say something else when Tang Yu's angry shout suddenly came from below.
"Where is the child? Didn't I tell you to watch the child?!"
Hearing this, Su Yi's heart tightened. He knew those few omegas were up to no good.
Just when they were about to escape, something went wrong at this critical moment.
Tang Yu felt like he was going to explode with anger. He had thought that even if those three omegas were unwilling, they wouldn't cause trouble at this crucial moment. But he had underestimated them. They had actually lost the child just when they were about to escape?
Tang Yu had been keeping an eye on them. Just a moment ago, an omega had pulled a child down, and Tang Yu had gone to help them up. In that short time, the three omegas had let go of the child's hand and run out themselves?
One of the omegas, the one with curly hair, said, "We didn't want to. We are omegas ourselves and don't have the strength to help the little orcs. They let go of our hands themselves. Can you blame us?"
The other two immediately agreed.
Looking at their faces, Su Yi suddenly felt extreme disgust.
Seeing them still dithering, Su Yi lowered his head and shouted down, "Tang Yu, you take them away from here first. I'll go in and look."
On the other side, Aide and his group had attracted most of the rogue orcs to the other side, which was why Su Yi and his group had such a smooth time. But over there, without the help of Jares and Xinor, they had clearly fallen into a difficult battle.
Su Yi patted Xinor. "I'm giving you a tough task. Take this child to support them."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he was about to jump down. The child in his arms suddenly looked panicked. He grabbed Su Yi's clothes and said with difficulty, "I want to go too."
Su Yi patted his head and said seriously, "Don't you want to pair with such a powerful orc in the future? Then, I'll lend him to you now. You can get used to being with such a powerful orc, okay?"
The child was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Su Yi to say this. But after thinking about it, it seemed quite interesting. So, he nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing that he agreed, Su Yi flipped over and jumped down.
Just a moment ago, Tang Yu had only taken his eyes off them for a moment. Those three little orcs should be nearby. He ran quickly, searching every corner without missing any. Soon, he found a child crawling on the ground, digging at something.
Su Yi quickly walked over and, upon seeing what the little orc was doing, suddenly stepped forward and picked up the little orc.
The little orc was first startled, his whole body tensing up. He was about to resist with bared teeth when he smelled the omega's scent on Su Yi.
"Okay, that's not edible. Don't you orcs love to eat meat?"
The place where the little orc had been crawling had a plant similar to a sweet potato. The little orc must have been extremely hungry to be gnawing on the raw sweet potato on the ground.
"I'm hungry, very hungry." The little orc's dirty face was streaked with tears.
"Okay, okay. When we get out, I'll give you meat to eat, okay?" Su Yi carried the little orc and continued walking inside.
The little orc swallowed hard at the mention of meat, then embarrassedly wiped away his tears.
"I haven't eaten meat for a year. I almost forgot what meat tastes like."
Chapter 90
After hearing the little orc's words, Su Yi suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the person in his arms, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
"How about this? After we find the other two children, I'll make you something good to eat."
The little orc quickly nodded. He always had an inexplicable trust in the person who had saved him.
"Let go of me!!!" Suddenly, a child's voice rang out not far away. Su Yi hurriedly quickened his pace and, when he ran over, saw an orc tightly gripping a child's neck.
This child should be one of the three little orcs.
Su Yi put down the one in his arms and shouted at the orc.
"Hey, hello there."
The orc clearly hadn't expected to encounter an omega here. He twitched his nose as if smelling the scent to confirm whether the person in front of him was indeed an omega.
Su Yi was clean and wore strange clothes, clearly not an omega who had escaped from here.
The orc roared, not knowing whether it was out of excitement or anger.
Su Yi couldn't help but take a step back. He wasn't afraid but pulled the child beside him, signaling him to hide to the side.
The little orc bared his teeth at the orc, seemingly wanting to stay and help.
"Be good and go to the side. After it's over, I'll leave you something good to eat."
The little orc, urged repeatedly by Su Yi, reluctantly walked to the side. This was the first time he had seen such a fierce battle, and he was a bit scared. But he didn't want to leave Su Yi alone to face danger.
Without any worries, Su Yi stretched his limbs. The orc saw that the omega wasn't scared by him but instead looked ready to fight him, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
He remembered that when they used to abduct omegas, the omegas would be so scared that they would flee in all directions. He had never encountered one who wasn't afraid.
Su Yi had intended to show off a bit and play with the orc, but suddenly heard the sound of fighting nearby getting louder. He knew he couldn't stay here any longer. In a little while, more people would come here, and although he wouldn't be in danger, he couldn't guarantee that the children wouldn't get hurt.
After making up his mind, Su Yi raised his crossbow and aimed at the orc's left foot. With a thud, an arrow pierced through the orc's foot, and the orc let out a miserable scream.
The little orc whose neck was being gripped by the orc was thrown out and fell to the ground nearby.
The orc's face was twisted with pain, looking very fierce and terrifying.
The little orc who had been thrown out didn't care about the pain and crawled toward Su Yi.
The orc came to his senses and swung his big hand to grab the little orc. Although the arrow had been severe, for an orc with good physical condition, it wasn't enough to completely immobilize him.
Su Yi quickly fired another arrow, straight into the orc's other leg. This time, the orc's legs were both injured, and his forward motion also stopped.
The orc had been just a few centimeters away from the little orc. If Su Yi had been a moment later, the little orc would have been grabbed by the orc.
At this moment, the two children seemed to be stunned, both staring blankly at Su Yi. The little orc who had been crawling earlier came to his senses first. He walked over and pulled the one who was still trembling.
Then he looked at Su Yi with admiration. "The thing in your hand is amazing."
Su Yi smiled. To save time, he didn't plan to explain the weapon to them now.
He took the two children and bypassed the orc who wanted to continue charging forward. Su Yi took a few steps, and finally, not feeling at ease, he turned back and kicked the orc hard in the back of the neck. The orc, who had been roaring, immediately fainted.
Su Yi took the two children and made another round, but still couldn't find the last one. Logically, they hadn't been missing for long and should be nearby.
Helpless, Su Yi decided to first send these two safely out. Then he would go alone to the front to see if the little orc had been captured by the rogue orcs.
When Su Yi followed his memory back to the cave where Loxi had been placed, the originally empty cave was now packed with people.
Tang Yu was angrily saying something, and Jares beside him occasionally reached out to smooth his fur.
"You can't do this, you can't do that. Who do you think you are? Your treatment in the tribe before has nothing to do with us. If I hadn't saved you, you would still be in that broken cave being mistreated."
In front of Tang Yu stood the three omegas from before. Their complexion was better than the other omegas, indicating they hadn't been here for long.
Hearing Tang Yu's words, one of them seemed to remember something and suddenly opened his mouth to wail.
"What are you wailing for? Don't drag us into this." Tang Yu was a person with a sharp tongue. Su Yi had been gone for so long, and he hadn't seen Tang Yu do anything to these few omegas.
The omega, hearing this, wailed even more heartbreakingly.
"Anyway, when I go back, I'll be laughed at by the tribe. If I have to die, I might as well die together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started discussing. Whether they were blaming him or talking about something else, the cave was suddenly noisy.
Su Yi's face turned cold, and he stepped forward to slap the omega who was still wailing, directly stunning him.
Su Yi's eyes were icy as he glanced at the omega. "Hmm, don't want to live? Then I'll send you on your way now."
The omega screamed, and his companions, seeing him being wronged, were about to speak up for him.
Suddenly, they heard Jares, who had been silent, say, "He's the boss. What he says goes."
With that, he picked up the omega from the ground, making a motion as if to throw him out. The omega was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, grabbing his companion's arm. He looked pleadingly at his companions, but the other two omegas were too scared to keep dodging backward.
Although they weren't familiar with Jares, in the short time they had spent with him, they already knew the temper of this powerful orc. At this moment, they were afraid that if they pleaded for mercy, they would be implicated and also thrown out.
The omega suddenly felt desperate. He struggled hard, looking at the other omegas in the cave. Many of them had been bullied before. Seeing his plight, although they sympathized with him, none were willing to say a good word for him.
The other little orcs were even less likely to help him. It was those three who had lost their little companion just a short while ago.
Just as the omega was about to be thrown out, Tang Yu suddenly spoke up.
"Forget it. Let him go. Did you see clearly? It's not scary for a person to be weak. What's scary is talking nonsense when you shouldn't."
As soon as Tang Yu spoke, neither Su Yi nor Jares would contradict him. Jares let go of the omega, who weakly sat on the ground and then crawled away.
Seeing that he was okay, his companions came over. They wanted to help him up, but he carefully dodged them.
The two omegas were very embarrassed. Seeing everyone around them laughing at them, they maliciously cursed, "What kind of thing? Humph!"
The cursed omega, trembling, found a small corner and sat down alone, hugging his shoulders.
Su Yi returned, and Jares and Gil went out to hunt without worry. After they left, Xinor also returned.
Xinor brought the little omega following him back to the cave and also rescued an injured orc.
The little omega was a bit excited, and a faint blush appeared on his pale face. He quickly walked to Su Yi's side, his eyes fixed on Su Yi.
"Your mate is amazing. I envy you."
Although he didn't know what had happened, it seemed that Xinor had successfully attracted this little omega.
Chapter 91
Su Yi reached out and rubbed the little omega's head. This child looked younger than Dino, but based on Su Yi's judgment, he estimated the child to be around eight or nine years old. The little omega obediently stood by Su Yi's side, completely ignoring the strange atmosphere around him.
Su Yi still remembered that he had promised the little orcs to get them meat, so he perked up and said to Tang Yu, "I'm going to catch some prey. You keep an eye on them."
Tang Yu pursed his lips. Actually, he wanted to go hunting too. He really didn't like dealing with these troublesome omegas.
Seeing that Tang Yu was unwilling, Su Yi looked at the people in the cave. "Hmm, if anyone disobeys, just kill them."
Su Yi said this in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the cave to hear. The omegas looked at each other but no one dared to speak. On the contrary, the children weren't afraid of Su Yi at all. In the short time they had spent together, they had already come to trust Su Yi as a reliable omega.
Seeing that he had no authority over the children, Su Yi didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he said very seriously to the children, "I promised you that I would get you meat to eat. As long as you behave and don't cause trouble, I'll bring you back meat to eat. Okay?"
The two children Su Yi had rescued were more familiar with him. When Su Yi spoke, each of them looked excited, as if Su Yi's words were the meat they imagined. Su Yi, still worried about the one child he hadn't found, left hurriedly after giving his instructions.
As soon as Su Yi left, the children started making a ruckus. Several of them gathered together, chattering. They asked each other if anyone was injured, and then someone said that one person hadn't returned. The children immediately blamed the three omegas. If it weren't for them, their little companion wouldn't be missing.
At this moment, the three omegas had clearly split. Apart from the one who had been scared by Jares earlier, the other two were obviously smarter. In the current situation, they chose to endure the humiliation. Once they safely returned to the tribe, they would definitely have their families seek justice for them.
Su Yi searched around but couldn't find a single large wild beast. Because he was preoccupied, he was also a bit distracted while hunting. Helpless, he decided to take a wild beast from his spatial storage. This was the food that Su Yi and Xinor had accumulated over time, and unknowingly, they had accumulated a lot of meat. Although they had accumulated a lot, Su Yi usually didn't want to take it out. As Xinor would say, Su Yi kept putting food into it but never took any out.
Su Yi remembered the image of little Eli and Xinor going hungry, which left a psychological shadow on him. He never wanted to see them hungry and cold again. That was why he, like a squirrel, endlessly stuffed things into his spatial storage. Fortunately, time in the spatial storage was frozen; otherwise, if all this food spoiled, Su Yi would be heartbroken.
When Su Yi returned carrying prey several times larger than himself, Jares and Gil still hadn't come back. It was the rainy season, and this was the rogue orcs' territory, so it was probably difficult to catch prey.
Hearing that there was meat to eat, the children couldn't wait to listen to Tang Yu and rushed out recklessly.
Su Yi was surrounded. Fearful of accidentally stepping on a little orc, Su Yi didn't dare to move. Several little orcs simply got excited and transformed into their beast forms, using their hands and feet to climb onto Su Yi. Finally, Tang Yu had the omegas come out to help, and they managed to pull the children clinging to Su Yi away.
Su Yi put down the prey and, while everyone was excited about the food, quietly slipped away.
He circled around a few times but didn't see any suspicious orcs. Only then did he quietly head back toward the rogue orcs' lair again.
There was still one little orc whose life or death was unknown. Su Yi, although not a great philanthropist, wasn't a cold-blooded creature either. Within his power, he was still willing to put in a little effort to save people.
After Su Yi turned and left, Tang Yu had the omegas go nearby to gather firewood. Worried about danger, he didn't allow them to go too far. The prey was already processed. The prey Su Yi put into his spatial storage was usually processed. This saved Tang Yu a lot of trouble. Tang Yu had them work together to move a stone, then skillfully cut it with a short knife on the stone. Since there were too many people, Tang Yu didn't have time to cook for them one by one. He planned to use the primitive method: cut it up and let them roast it themselves by the fire. Everyone was happy to get their share of meat and crowded around the newly built fire pit.
When Jares returned, he saw this scene. A group of people surrounded a large fire pit, each holding a piece of meat skewered on a branch. Tang Yu was lowering his head, patiently roasting meat for the children. A little lion cub sat in Tang Yu's arms, wagging its tail and gnawing on the meat. On Tang Yu's right side, there was a little wolf cub, spinning around, seemingly unable to wait any longer.
Jares casually threw the prey and walked up to Tang Yu, snatching the meat Tang Yu was roasting and throwing the little lion cub in Tang Yu's arms out.
The little lion cub was thrown out inexplicably and looked back at Jares. Seeing that it was the big guy from the dragon clan, he thought: If I can't fight, can't I hide? Then he picked up his meat and walked away with his tail between his legs.
Tang Yu turned and glared at Jares. "You're such a big person, and you're bullying children?"
Jares casually pushed aside the little wolf cub next to Tang Yu and threw away the not-yet-roasted meat. The little wolf cub, who had been about to express his grievance, sadly chased after the flying meat.
Seeing this, Tang Yu really couldn't bear it.
"Jares, they are all children. How can you do this? You keep shouting about wanting me to have children for you. If I really do, will you treat them like this?" Tang Yu was completely furious and blurted out the matter of having children.
Many people around, whether omegas, children, or even Gil, were looking at Tang Yu. Each of them had different thoughts, but at this moment, they were all thinking about the child Tang Yu mentioned.
Whose child? Of course, it was the immature, petty, terrifying, and sinister Jares in front of them.
But this Jares, at the moment, had a sweet and sour smell emanating from his face, body, and even his bones. Gil sighed and thought: Having a mate is different. Then Gil looked at Loxi, who was busy not far away. Loxi was lowering his head and talking to a child. Looking at Loxi, he would also be a virtuous mate in the future.
Tang Yu was extremely angry at being stared at by everyone. He, the young master of the Tang family, used to have everything he wanted. Even if he made a fool of himself one day, no one dared to look at him. But now, because of whom? Every day, he was like a monkey being stared at.
Tang Yu lifted his foot to kick Jares, but before he could kick, his sharp-eyed self saw a wound on Jares' arm. Tang Yu suddenly felt a pang of heartache and instantly forgot about his anger, the child, and his face.
"Uh, you came back so late. Did something happen?" Tang Yu asked in a trembling voice. It wasn't that Tang Yu was exaggerating, but in his memory, even when facing hundreds of beasts, Jares had never been injured. But now, not only was Jares injured, but the wound on his arm was deep enough to see the bone? It made Tang Yu not dare to look closely.
Jares' heart warmed, but then he blamed himself for not being careful. In Tang Yu's eyes, he was invincible. Now, his image as the strongest and most reliable was about to collapse. Jares coughed lightly and was about to gloss over it when he heard Gil say, "We went out hunting and encountered rogue orcs. For your safety, we fought them. To be honest, Jares really lives up to being a dragon. He chased those orcs around alone."
Jares' face turned cold. Gil was a bit puzzled. He was clearly praising Jares, so why did Jares seem unhappy?
Gil's answer completely confirmed Tang Yu's suspicions. Tang Yu didn't dare to say more and began to lower his head and look for herbs. He often helped Mino, so he had some knowledge of herbs.
Seeing Tang Yu about to run around, Jares immediately walked over and hugged him. He slightly lowered his voice and whispered in Tang Yu's ear, "It's okay. It'll be fine after a night's sleep."
Seeing Jares' nonchalant expression, Tang Yu was even more angry and heartbroken.
"Were you always like this when you were injured before?"
Jares was stunned. Before? He had indeed been injured before, but he had never paid much attention to it. Now, suddenly hearing Tang Yu ask, he felt an indescribable feeling. He was a dragon, the most powerful race on this orc continent. When he was injured, few people cared. More people feared him or flattered him.
Seeing that Jares didn't speak, Tang Yu thought he had remembered something bad. In Tang Yu's heart, the ominous orcs here were shunned everywhere. Even if Jares was very powerful, how did he survive when he was very young? When he was sick, there was no one to rely on. When he was injured, he had to hide and lick his wounds alone? Thinking of this, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel even more heartbroken.
Tang Yu wrapped his arms around Jares and kissed his cheek.
"It's okay. You have me now." After saying this, Tang Yu pushed Jares away and continued to look for herbs.
The hemostatic herbs were easy to find. Tang Yu found them and pulled Jares to the side to treat his wound. Jares was very cooperative at first, completely letting Tang Yu have his way.
After Tang Yu applied the medicine, he found that Jares had been staring at him, so he reached out to touch his own cheek.
Jares opened his arms, signaling Tang Yu to come into his embrace. Tang Yu was certainly not going to throw himself into his arms and immediately turned to leave. Jares immediately reached out to hug him, accidentally touching the wound, and the wound cracked open again.
