“Ning Luo is really missing?”
“Gaien, you failed to protect Luo Luo.” When Aimo heard the news, he rushed out and started fighting with Gaien. “Isn’t Luo Luo your mate? Why didn’t you protect her?”
The two quickly began brawling, and no one nearby could stop them. They soon shifted into their beast forms, pouncing, biting, and tearing. The fight looked terrifying, and the ground shook from their movements.
Gaien was from the lion tribe, and Aimo from the tiger tribe. Both were powerful in the forest. Although Aimo was weaker than Gaien, his anger over Gaien losing Ning Luo pushed him to fight with unexpected strength, and he ended up giving Gaien a serious beating.
Tang Guo stood to the side, quietly watching a show of animals fighting until Black Wolf arrived. Transforming into a giant wolf, he sent each of them flying with a single swipe of his paw. With just one move, he left Gaien and Aimo unable to get up, crouching on the ground and gasping for breath as they slowly turned back into human form.
But Aimo was still not satisfied. He jumped up and shouted at Black Wolf, “Gaien lost Luo Luo.”
“I don’t think Gaien deserves to have Luo Luo. He’s too weak. Failing to protect his own mate is a disgrace to us male beastmen.”
“Gaien, explain what happened.”
Gaien recounted the events from start to finish, full of self-blame. If he had kept holding onto Luo Luo, she wouldn’t have gone missing.
“Ning Luo is so weak, she might die out there in the wild.”
“Yeah, with such thin arms and legs, she probably won’t survive.”
“Luo Luo will be fine!!” Gaien roared at the group of female beastmen, his eyes red. “I won’t let anything happen to her. I’ll go find her right now. Stay out of it.”
He had originally come back to ask for help, but it seemed his companions were very hostile toward Luo Luo.
After speaking, Gaien was about to rush out, but Black Wolf knocked him to the ground with another paw. Seeing that Gaien still tried to get up and leave, Black Wolf struck him a few more times until he had no strength to resist, then let him shift back to human form, his expression cold.
“Gaien, how will charging around recklessly help you find her?” Black Wolf said. “Today we’ll send some members to look for Ning Luo, and the rest will continue with the original plan.”
The changes Ning Luo had brought to the tribe made Black Wolf value her somewhat. Besides, she was Gaien’s mate, and Gaien was the tribe’s second warrior. If something really happened to her, it would deal a heavy blow to him.
With the beast tide approaching, if Gaien couldn’t pull himself together, how could he protect the tribe’s safety?
At this point, it was best to search for Ning Luo first.
It had to be said that right now, Black Wolf was still a qualified tribe leader, fair and thorough in his thinking.
Gaien calmed down and accepted Black Wolf’s arrangement.
At that moment, Yin Yao came out. Tang Guo quickly ran up to him. “High Priest, are we leaving?”
“Mm.” Yin Yao replied, glancing at Black Wolf. Sure enough, Black Wolf walked over and stopped in front of Tang Guo, asking, “Ah Guoguo, you’re going with the High Priest to gather herbs?”
Last night, the High Priest had already mentioned it to him.
“That’s right.”
“Then I’ll assign another warrior to go with you.”
Yin Yao didn’t refuse. With Ah Guoguo along, if they really ran into trouble, having one more person meant a bit less danger.
Black Wolf looked at Tang Guo standing beside Yin Yao, feeling something was off, but it never crossed his mind that Tang Guo might like the High Priest.
In the hearts of the beastman tribe members, the High Priest was like a living deity, untouchable.
