On the other side of the firebreak, the massive blaze consumed everything it could before gradually starting to die down.

From where they stood, the Beastman Warriors could already see the corpses of many beasts.

If they hadn’t escaped, they would have been among those bodies.

After their cheers subsided, a deep, lingering fear crept back into the hearts of the Beastman Warriors as they stared at the expanse of ash before them.

"Oof, I don’t know if I overdid it with the Beast God’s Power just now, but my legs feel like jelly."

A Beastman Warrior from the Black Wolf Tribe plopped right down on the ground, offering a dry laugh to explain his undignified fall.

But...

’Once the first pair of jelly legs appeared, could the second be far behind?’

Sure enough, as if inspired by the warrior from the Black Wolf Tribe, the surrounding Beastman Warriors all seemed to develop a sudden case of weak knees, sitting down one by one to rest.

"Exactly. We ran for so long and exhausted our Beast God’s Power. We definitely need a good rest."

"Here, here, brother, let me massage your shoulders."

"Oh, thanks, thanks! Here, let me get your legs."

Seeing the Beastman Warriors’ phony act, Wu Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Yuan Lang set her down, but then his tall, straight figure suddenly slumped toward her.

Wu Yue quickly threw her arms around the beastman’s waist. "What’s wrong? Your legs feel like jelly too?"

As she spoke, she didn’t forget to give his firm, lean waist a couple of squeezes. ’Tsk tsk, this feels amazing!’

"How does it feel?" a deep voice rumbled in her ear.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Wu Yue praised, "Fantastic!"

Only after the word was out did she realize her actions could be seen as getting a little too handsy.

But Yuan Lang’s low chuckle sounded in her ear. "Mm, my legs are weak. I’ll have to trouble you to help me up, my dear female."

Wu Yue deadpanned. ’It might look like I’m supporting you, but your entire weight consists of one arm on my shoulder. What weight am I even holding up?’

After resting for a while, the beastmen’s nerves finally settled. Wu Yue bandaged the wounds of a few Beastman Warriors from her own tribe, then wrapped herself in a Beast Skin and fell asleep against a large tree.

The beastmen arranged a watch rotation and then seized the chance to rest as well.

Even after surviving such a perilous situation, their mission to drive away the Fireball Beasts was not yet complete. As long as the Fireball Beasts roamed the Polar Forest, the danger they faced today would persist.

The next day, when Wu Yue awoke, she was already in Yuan Lang’s arms.

"Where are we going?" she asked, rubbing her eyes groggily.

Yuan Lang chuckled lightly. "We’re going back to find the tracks of the Fireball Beasts we missed yesterday. We’ve decided to drive them into the depths of the Polar Forest as soon as possible. It’s too dangerous to let them keep wandering through the forest."

Hearing this, Wu Yue pursed her lips. The Fireball Beasts were indeed a source of danger.

But...

She poked her head out to look around. "Where are the Beastman Warriors from the other three tribes?"

"They went to find the Fireball Beasts we were following yesterday."

Wu Yue’s eyes suddenly lit up. ’So the Snow Tiger Tribe is operating on its own now?’

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, the corners of Yuan Lang’s lips curved up in a good mood. "Mhm, we’re on our own. It’s just the Beastman Warriors from our tribe here."

"It’s just us, Yue! Now we can pick up all the Fireball Beast dung we want, heh heh."

With only their own tribe’s beastmen around, everyone was clearly much more animated.

Following the trail of the fire, they finally found three young Fireball Beast cubs in a small canyon.

That’s right, cubs. But it looked as though they had fallen from a great height, as each one had an injured leg.

The three little ones huddled together, letting out pitiful MOO MOO MOOs.

Not far from them, a patch of obviously scorched ground was visible. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

There were also bloodstains on the surrounding rocks. It was clear these three little ones had caused yesterday’s great fire.

They were clever, though, having dragged their injured legs to a place with no grass or trees.

But now they were huddled here, unable to get out.

If the group hadn’t found them today, these little ones would surely have been left here to die.

Wu Yue walked over and reached out to stroke the head of one of the small Fireball Beast cubs. The little one seemed to sense her goodwill and let out a docile MOO.

Wu Yue’s eyes grew even brighter. "So well-behaved, heh heh."
