Chapter 334: Beast Rescue Plan

Yuan Lang gave a somewhat speechless nod and said, "Judging by the hair color, it's definitely that group of beasts from the Mad Lion Tribe."

"Don't you see there are still two legs struggling behind?"

The leading Obedient Ape was extraordinarily huge, holding a young Beastman Warrior's legs in its hand, letting the Beastman Warrior howl and struggle without moving it an inch.

Finally, the Obedient Ape seemed annoyed by the Beastman Warrior's 'childishness', raised its palm larger than a fan, and slapped at the constantly struggling Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warrior.

The Obedient Ape's body is extremely sturdy, so when fighting them, Beastman Warriors try their best to avoid head-on collisions.

If kicked by their athlete's foot, it's not just a matter of taste—it's a matter of life and death.

This Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warrior being slapped at such close range is probably done for.

Just as everyone was about to silently mourn for that Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warrior, the Obedient Ape's raised palm unexpectedly landed lightly and accurately on the Beastman Warrior's butt.

Yuan Lang, Teng Qian, Teng Kun, and the others nearby shuddered instantly; placing such interest on that pair ahead was truly peculiarly strange.

The Beastman Warrior held in its hand also seemed a bit dazed; after a moment of stiffness, it became increasingly annoyed, its roars and struggles intensifying.

The nearby Black Wolf Beastmen didn't know whether to worry for this Beastman Warrior or to laugh rudely.

However, this struggling lasted less than three seconds; afterward, the beastmen's shoulders began to twitch irregularly, obviously trying not to laugh.

As the sole Black Wolf Tribe leader who could still control himself, the leader shuffled over with tiny steps to Yuan Lang's side.

Watching his seductive little steps, Yuan Lang's eyes darkened, and she really wanted to swipe a claw at him.

That walking posture, as if something were clamped between his crotch, was something he often saw even before coming to this world.

That was the walking posture of women among a band of island pirates who, despite their age, still wore their hair in topknots.

Those bandits looked like overgrown winter melons that had never been fertilized, yet they constantly ravaged seaside residents, burning, killing, looting, and committing every evil.

But thinking that the person before her was merely a Black Wolf Tribe Beastman Warrior, Yuan Lang suppressed her disgust toward those overgrown winter melons.

"Save or not?"

Yuan Lang glanced at him: "Save."

Your question is well put—we're all grasshoppers on the same rope now; how could we not save them?

Just as they were about to discuss rescue tactics, a faint rustling came from the nearby grass, and all the beasts instantly turned alert.

Soon, the grass seemed to bloom with golden chrysanthemums...

That familiar color...

"Are those the Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warriors?"

Yuan Lang's voice, wrapped in Beast God's Power, streamed straight toward those clumps of golden yellow.

Sure enough, as his words fell, several Beastman Warriors' big faces popped out from under the chrysanthemums.

Seeing the Snow Tiger Tribe members and Black Wolf Tribe members ahead, the Mad Lion Beastmen were happier than seeing their own mothers.

With delighted expressions on their dirty big faces, they scrambled over shouting, "Oh my goodness, quick, save the beasts!"

Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warrior: "..."

Black Wolf Tribe Beastman Warrior: "..."

We're all beasts; although your kin are about to be... by a bunch of Obedient Apes, we should still have some decency, right?

"Please save our kin; half of the warriors who came out to hunt fierce beasts have been captured by those Obedient Apes."

The Mad Lion Tribe Beastman anxiously said: "Our tribe's previous resting place is right nearby; we had planned to go rest first."

"I never expected the Obedient Apes, who usually operate in the central regions, to run to the forest's edge; those clansmen were captured so we could escape."

Yuan Lang looked at the Mad Lion Beastmen and asked: "How many beasts do you have left now?"

The Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warrior's eyes lit up: "We still have fewer than ten Beastman Warriors."

Yuan Lang nodded: "This place used to be the Snow Tiger Tribe's former resting ground; now it's occupied by these Obedient Apes, so there are more of them here."

"The best plan is to lure as many Obedient Apes out as possible, then rescue the Beastman Warriors who were taken inside."

"Since we're rescuing our own tribe's Beastman Warriors, several Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warriors naturally volunteered: 'We'll go lure the Obedient Apes away.'"

Yuan Lang shook her head, then turned to the Black Wolf Tribe leader beside her: "If males appear, the first wave of Obedient Apes drawn out will definitely be numerous; they have too few beasts and are easily captured, so we need your Black Wolf Tribe Beastman Warriors to go out."

The Black Wolf leader also didn't hesitate; after long hunts, with preparation, drawing away the Obedient Apes without being caught is still something they can do.

Yuan Lang nodded: "After the Black Wolf Tribe Beastman Warriors draw away most of the Obedient Apes, the remaining guard Obedient Apes will be handed over to the Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warriors."

"After you leave, the rest will be turned over to us."

Having said that, he solemnly looked at the two: "Remember, don't think about hunting for crystal cores opportunistically; you must exert all effort to hold back the Obedient Apes and not let them return to the canyon."

"After rescuing those Beastman Warriors, we will emit a roar to inform you; then you should quickly shake them off and leave, and we will gather on the outskirts."

The two beastmen gazed at Yuan Lang with sparkling eyes, the kind of look as if being stared at by those young ladies from a past life, making Yuan Lang shudder involuntarily.

Immediately her face darkened: "Hurry up and act."

Having said that, she turned back to her tribesmen's side; it's safer to stay with ordinary beasts.

The two remaining beasts sighed inwardly at the Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman's aloofness, then didn't delay.

The Black Wolf Tribe leader immediately gathered his clansmen, repeated what Yuan Lang had instructed, and then began to act.

After greeting Yuan Lang and the others, he swiftly dove into the grass and vanished.

Soon after, bright wolf howls came from the forest on the other side of the canyon, and the canyon, which had just quieted down, instantly became lively.

Obedient Apes are especially sensitive to the males' howls; hearing the Black Wolf Tribe Beastman Warrior's voice, they screamed and charged out of the canyon.

Seeing the dense numbers, everyone's skin tightened as they silently prayed for the Black Wolf Tribe Beastman Warriors.

There were still plenty of Obedient Apes left in the canyon, but far fewer than the group that had just gone out.

Yuan Lang gave the Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warrior a glance.

The Beastman Warrior instantly understood, taking the few Beastman Warriors behind him and running toward the other side of the forest.

Soon after, another lion roar lured away a group of excited Obedient Apes.

The Obedient Apes today seemed exceptionally happy; usually, any male who caught their scent would detour, but today for some reason, so many males showed up.

After those Shun Yuan howled and ran off, Yuan Lang quietly led the Snow Tiger Tribe's Beastman Warriors and sneaked in.

Sure enough, after being lured away in two waves, the Shun Yuan left in the canyon numbered fewer than ten.

Without Yuan Lang's orders, Teng Qian cleared his throat a few times, stepped forward voluntarily and said: 'Um, I'll take care of these few.'

Having said that, he marched off confidently into the canyon, but after a few steps he felt his figure was rather lonely.

Looking back, he saw all the Beastfolk standing where they were, eyes full of expectation fixed on him.

As Teng Qian was about to enter the Shun Yuan's sight, his legs suddenly trembled, and he ran back with a gagaga: 'Gaha, if I go up alone I'll be taken out in no time—come help me.'

Teng Kun scratched his head: 'Just now I saw big brother looking like he'd left everything to you, I thought you could take them all down yourself.'

Teng Qian growled low: 'If I were that awesome, why would we need the Black Wolf Tribe and Mad Lion Tribe to lure those Shun Yuan away? I'd just rush in howling and they'd be done for in a moment.'

Scolded by his own big brother, Teng Kun gave an embarrassed hehe laugh: 'Don't be angry, let's go now.'

Teng Qian nodded in satisfaction, then led a few Beastman Warriors toward the Shun Yuan inside the canyon.

Though they made no roar, the Shun Yuan, unusually sensitive to male scent, the moment they entered the sensing range, their eyes gleamed as they looked over.

Seeing a few lost-lamb-like males running to their gate, they had no reason to let them go; each one, like devils spying a belle, howled and charged over.

Soon after, they were led away by Teng Qian and his men, disappearing without a trace.

Looking at the empty canyon, the forest wind blew and a few leaves fluttered down; all that remained was silence.

Yuan Lang walked straight in and, in the cave where they used to rest, found the few Mad Lion Tribe Beastfolk who had been captured and brought back.

They were clinging to the cave wall, peering out, and upon seeing the Snow Tiger Tribe's Beastman Warriors, they almost burst into tears.

Those Shun Yuan have left?

Yuan Lang's mouth twitched: 'If you keep dilly-dallying like this, you'll just have a chance to say goodbye to them.'

Hearing that, the beasts shuddered and bolted to Yuan Lang's side: 'What are we waiting for? Let's scram—these Shun Yuan are utterly shameless.'

That contemptuous look instantly let Yuan Lang recognize him—it was the Beastman Warrior whose butt had been slapped by the Shun Yuan Leader.

Having rescued them, they didn't linger, turned and ran toward the outside of the canyon.

'Boss, should we head straight to the outskirts now?'

Yuan Lang nodded: 'If we go farther away we can tell them to retreat; taking too long would be dangerous.'

The beasts' faces grew solemn, and they nodded solemnly.

When the canyon could no longer be seen in the distance, Yuan Lang and his party stopped, all facing different directions in the forest, and let out deafening tiger roars.

This startled flocks of birds around them.

'Go.'

After a few such cries, everyone again ran toward the outskirts.

But not long after they started running, Yuan Lang up ahead suddenly frowned; the instant his foot landed, he clearly felt an unusual vibration coming from the ground.

Given the weight of a Beastman Warrior, such a disturbance would absolutely not occur.

His expression hardened, and a low, magnetic voice sounded in the ears of the surrounding Beastman Warriors: 'A formidable beast is following us from behind, huge in size; later, spread out ahead and obey my orders.'

'Yes.'

Aside from a few Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warriors, the Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors who followed Yuan Lang out had been trained by him for a long time, naturally obeying only his commands.

Those few Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warriors noticed nothing unusual, but seeing Yuan Lang's demeanor, they recognized him as the Snow Tiger Tribe's leader for this mission and naturally chose to obey.

The group instantly scattered in the dense forest ahead and hid in the trees.

They restrained their breathing and gazed toward the rear.

Sure enough, moments later the previously imperceptible ground vibrations became evident, and the surrounding trees' branches and leaves began to tremble.

The beast's speed was great; within moments its rough shape became visible, and the beasts couldn't help but suck in a breath.

The Mad Lion Tribe Beastman Warriors who had just been rescued instantly looked dreadful.

The one pursuing them turned out to be the Shun Yuan Leader, enormous and incredibly stalwart.

Its huge paws stomped the ground, emitting a heavy sound, and its rough breathing revealed the leader's current fury.

Its two palms, far larger than palm-leaf fans, swept aside the branches before it, leaving a mess behind.

Yuan Lang also felt a sinking heart; they were clearly no match for this Shun Yuan Leader, and the leader seemed to have evolved to the point of qualifying as a high-grade ferocious beast.

He looked at the Beastman Warriors hidden in the surrounding trees, made a gesture signaling them to retreat, then leapt down from the tree and charged off in another direction.

Seeing this, the beasts' hearts tightened; they had wanted to follow, but recalling Yuan Lang's earlier training words, they halted.

At that moment they clenched their teeth, exchanged a glance, and said: 'First let's go meet up with everyone.'

Having said that, they took a deep look at the direction their big brother had left, then ran toward the prearranged meeting point.

On the other side, upon discovering Yuan Lang, the Shun Yuan Leader let out an angry roar, his crimson eyes seeming to hold immense fury, and he howled as he gave chase.

Feeling the Shun Yuan Leader's frenzy behind him, Yuan Lang's speed grew ever faster.

Good grief, my build is considered tall and sturdy in the tribe, but before this hulk I'm not even worth a foot of his.

I can't keep my footing; I might even end up showing from between my toes.

Now I don't care about looking cool; I'm sprinting faster than ever before.

One runs ahead gaga, the other chases behind howling.

But this chase will eventually come to an end.

Seeing Yuan Lang running, the surrounding weaker ferocious beasts could only regretfully lick the corners of their mouths, leaving a bit of crocodile drool as well.

This little food pill.

This outcome, Yuan Lang also realized after a moment.

Looking at the not-so-large valley ahead, Yuan Lang panted heavily, feeling there was something to say but unsure whether to speak.

The pursuing Shun Yuan saw the halted male ahead and excitedly pounded his exceptionally stalwart chest.

He howled to express his excitement.
