Chapter 45 The Black Bear Tribe Invades

“Go get it yourself.” Ye Yao kept biting his lower lip, the blush on his ears had spread to his cheeks. Jiang Li was confused by his words. She couldn’t help but wonder if his brain was broken? Didn’t he understand what she meant? But after all, she was asking him, she couldn’t be too rude, so she had to patiently repeat herself. “Ye Yao, I’m not wearing any clothes, how can I go get them?” Jiang Li paused, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

“Oh~ Do you want to see…” “Shut up!” Ye Yao, blushing with shame, interrupted Jiang Li immediately. Hearing Jiang Li’s teasing words, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He gritted his teeth, “Wait, I’ll go get it for you.” Ye Yao turned and walked towards the cave. Jiang Li, fearing he didn’t know where the clothes were, quickly told him, “Ye Yao, my clothes are on the stone table next to the bed.” Ye Yao paused slightly, as if responding.

After a while, Ye Yao came back with the other set of clothes Jiang Li bought at the market. “Here.” He exaggeratedly covered his eyes with one hand, and stretched out the other hand holding the clothes towards Jiang Li. “Thanks.” Jiang Li reached out and took the clothes. Seeing Ye Yao standing there awkwardly in front of her, Jiang Li tilted her head and teased him again. “Why don’t you turn around? Do you really want to watch me get dressed?” As soon as she said this, Ye Yao, whose cheeks were already blushing, now had a red neck as well. “Boring!” He seemed to be angry and embarrassed, and he turned around angrily.

Seeing Ye Yao being teased and blushing, Jiang Li smiled playfully. She didn’t expect him to be so innocent. She walked out of the creek and quickly put on her clothes. As the proprietress said, these clothes were just right, and they were also elastic, even if her belly grew bigger, she could still wear them. “Okay, I’m dressed.” Hearing this, Ye Yao turned around.

 His face was still flushed, his eyes looked away unnaturally, he didn’t dare to look at Jiang Li. “You probably didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night, go back and rest.” Ye Yao coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence between them. Jiang Li noticed that Ye Yao had thick dark circles under his eyes. “Your dark circles are so heavy, did you not sleep all night?”

 Jiang Li just asked casually, but Ye Yao’s cheeks turned even redder. She was stunned by his appearance. No way, did she guess right? Did he really stay up all night watching over her? She heard Ye Yao hum softly from his nose. Although it was very soft, Jiang Li still heard it. She pursed her lips slightly, her heart filled with mixed emotions. “Thank you.

” Ye Yao didn’t say anything. “I slept for a while last night, I’m not very sleepy, you go back and rest, after all, it’s pretty uncomfortable not sleeping all night.” Ye Yao opened his mouth, just about to answer that he was used to it. But Guo Xia, panting heavily, rushed over. “Ye Yao! Something’s wrong!” As soon as he said this, Ye Yao retracted his blushing cheeks, instantly returning to his cold and stern appearance. “What happened?” Guo Xia ran to the middle of the two of them.

His chest was rising and falling, he was panting heavily. “The Black Bear tribe is causing trouble again, many beastmen have been injured, the Snake King is resisting, you should go and take a look.” Hearing this, Ye Yao’s face turned gloomy, his expression was very unpleasant. He nodded and quickly disappeared in front of the two of them. “Guo Xia.”

Jiang Li saw Guo Xia about to follow, she quickly stopped him. Guo Xia stopped, looking at her in confusion. “Why is the Black Bear tribe causing trouble?” Hearing this question, Guo Xia shook his head helplessly, sighing and making a pained gesture.

 “The Black Bear tribe used to have a small population and a small living area. And their food came from the land they lived on. But in the past two years, they have reproduced a lot, they have built straw huts on the land, and the remaining land produces just enough food to barely survive. But last year, their food production also decreased, they had no food, so they came to the Snake tribe to cause trouble and steal food.” At this point, Guo Xia sighed.

 “The Snake King has been tolerant every time, which has led to their repeated invasions, even harming our people. The Snake King can’t stand it anymore, every time the Black Bear tribe comes to invade, he has to fight them.” Hearing Guo Xia say “harming our people”, Jiang Li panicked a little. She was afraid that the three little ones would be hurt. “Guo Xia, I’m afraid that Hu Lao Da and the others will be injured, can I go with you?”

 A flash of surprise crossed Guo Xia’s eyes. He didn’t even think before directly rejecting Jiang Li’s request. There was no other reason, it was simply because she was pregnant, going there would be more dangerous. Seeing that Guo Xia didn’t agree, Jiang Li could only beg him again. “Jiang Li, it’s still not possible, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to Ye Yao?

” Jiang Li clasped her hands together and looked at Guo Xia sincerely. “I promise I’ll stay behind you and avoid danger. And I have the ability to protect myself, I won’t have any problems. Please let me go with you, as long as I see that they are safe, I will immediately come back.” Guo Xia hesitated.

But seeing Jiang Li pleading with him, and being anxious about the other side, he could only nod helplessly. He gritted his teeth and repeatedly instructed, “Then you must stay behind me, don’t run around, understand?”

“Yes, I understand!” Jiang Li followed Guo Xia to the area where the Snake Tribe beastmen lived together. In front of each cave, there were fires raging, trees collapsing, blood splattered everywhere, beastmen screaming and fleeing, black bears pounding their chests, letting out low growls, baring their terrifying fangs and savagely tearing at the Snake Tribe. Soldiers and male beastmen were desperately resisting, but the disparity in strength between the two sides also resulted in many Snake soldiers dying on the ground.

 Countless snakes and black bears lay dead on the ground, unhatched snake eggs were shattered, with the tiny bodies of snakes hanging inside. These bloody scenes were a blow to Jiang Li’s heart. Was this the slaughter in the beast world tribes?

Cruel and bloody, all like mindless beasts, only killing in their eyes and minds. Although she had experienced small and large battles, this scene still shocked her, and she truly felt the ruthlessness of battle. Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing all the caves a shade of red. The air was filled with a pungent, thick smell of blood.

Her eyes widened; her pupils contracted rapidly. Reflected in them were one beastman after another falling to the ground. Her pale face was covered in cold sweat, and her body trembled uncontrollably. This scene was like hell on earth.
