Chapter 180 Dark Night Raid
After Bai Susu and the beastmen returned, they went out early and came back late every day for tribal affairs.
Mei Wuzhi went to the fox tribe and led the fox orcs with Mei Luoli to prepare weapons. Bai Po and Lan You led the orcs of the fox and mermaid tribes to strengthen the defenses around the tribe and the surrounding traps.
After knowing each other's purpose, everyone began to prepare.
When everything was ready, Mei Luoli, Mei Wuzhi and Bai Po, the three five-patterned beasts, led their people down the mountain to search the place mentioned by Chi Mo and deal with the male Red Eagles who had invaded their territory.
In order to prevent the enemy from a surprise attack, the strongest Cang Xiao and the one with healing ability Lan You were left behind to protect Bai Susu, the cubs and the tribe.
At night——
Bai Susu, Cang Xiao and Lan You worked together to clean up the dusty cubs. The cubs lined up in a circle and dried their wet fur.
At this time, the untransformed beast cubs stared motionlessly outside the door. As night fell, the weather in the beast world became extremely cold. After dinner, Lan You closed the main gate and the courtyard. When the wind blew, the two doors creaked.
Seeing the cubs all staring at the door, their fur standing on end, Bai Susu sensed something was amiss. She lowered her head and asked the nearest untransformed white tiger cub, "Cub, what's wrong? Why are you staring at the door?"
The white tiger cub raised its head and howled, "Aoao——Woo——"
(Mom, it smells so good! There are so many wild fruits outside.)
wild fruit?
Bai Susu was confused and glanced at the door. The wind blew gently and the door shook a little. As the breeze blew, Bai Susu smelled a faint scent of wild fruit.
However, the scent of wild fruits was mixed with some strange smells, and it was difficult to tell what animal it came from.
"Strange, why is there such a strong smell of wild fruits?" Bai Susu was puzzled. The orcs from the three major tribes were the White Tiger, Mermaid, and Fox tribes. These orcs were all carnivores and usually ate meat. They only ate wild fruits when there was no water or when there was insufficient water for a mission. They rarely ate wild fruits at other times.
This wild fruit has a strong smell, and it is because a large amount of wild fruit is used to make juice that it has such a strong smell.
The orcs of the three major tribes are all carnivores. How could there be such a strong fruity scent so late at night?
Not only her, Lan You and Cang Xiao also noticed something strange. Lan You turned her back to the candlelight, her entire body hidden in the darkness: "Su Su, Cang Xiao, this smell is a bit strange. The orcs of the three major tribes don't like wild fruits, but it's so strong tonight. It seems like someone deliberately did it."
Cang Xiao nodded. From the moment he smelled the scent, he immediately alertly protected Bai Susu and the cubs. "Hmm, this smell is so strange. It's mixed with many other smells, but the sour fragrance of the wild fruit is too strong, and it has confused those smells."
After he finished speaking, a cold wind whistled past and there was a knock on the door.
"Susu, I'm back."
A voice called out from outside the door. Bai Susu turned and stared at the door: "Wu Zhi... is back?"
Outside the door, Mei Wuzhi's anxious voice came again, one after another: "Susu, kids, I'm back——"
Mei Wuzhi's voice was responded in the yard. The moment Bai Susu heard the voice, she instinctively wanted to open the door. As she stood up, she smelled the faint fruity fragrance.
For some reason, she hesitated and subconsciously paused, not opening the door. "Didn't Mei Wuzhi, the Fox King, Bai Po, and their people go down the mountain to chase those Red Eagle and Leopard orcs hiding in the shadows? How come they're back so soon?"
Could it be that something happened?
She was worried, afraid that something might happen to the two beast husbands, and felt vaguely uneasy. She turned around to look at the beast cubs. They were all looking out the door with a defensive look on their faces, chirping softly, and all their fur stood up.
Outside the door, Mei Wuzhi's urgent call came, and soon, Bai Po's voice also sounded: "Susu, the stinky fox and I are back, open the door quickly."
Bai Po's voice could also be heard. Bai Susu and the two beast husbands stood there with solemn expressions. Cang Xiao wanted to open the door, but Bai Susu held him back: "Wait a minute, something's wrong."
Cang Xiao stopped and looked back at her. She continued, "Wu Zhi and Bai Po both have the key. They could have unlocked the door themselves when they came back. Why are they calling out from outside?"
Even if they lost their keys, they would still climb over the wall to get in. But why were they acting so abnormally today? This was not like their usual behavior at all.
Besides, they could hear their voices outside, but she couldn't smell the breath of Mei Wuzhi and Bai Po. Lan You, who was standing by, pondered for a long time before saying, "Could they have lost the key?"
After Lan You mentioned this, Bai Susu felt even more worried. Afraid of any accidents, she asked the two beastly husbands to look after the cub while she went to the window to see what was going on.
Bai Susu could not sense the beastly husband's breath, and her heart was filled with doubts. She took out a mace from the space and held it tightly in her hand.
Then she walked over quietly and opened the curtains. She turned on the flashlight and shone it outside. Suddenly, a pair of black wings appeared, and the head of a red eagle appeared. It violently hit the window with its sharp beak, breaking the glass.
Bai Susu was startled and met the cold eyes of the male Red Eagle. The male's pupils shrank slightly, and he opened his sharp mouth and muttered, "Susu... open the door quickly..."
This is... Mei Wuzhi's voice!
Bai Susu was still in shock, so she gripped the mace tightly and attacked the guy fiercely, giving him a powerful blow.
These guys have strange voices and can imitate the sounds of orcs. He just pretended to be the voices of Mei Wuzhi and Bai Po to attract her and wanted her to go out. Fortunately, she was more careful.
The male Red Eagle smashed the glass with his head and reached his sharp claws into the window to pull her away. Bai Susu reacted quickly, stepped back, took out her bow and arrow and shot quickly. The opponent was a one-patterned beast. Even with her bonus, the opponent was shot in the throat and died.
At this time, Lan You came to her and hugged her. Cang Xiao mobilized his supernatural power, and the vines wrapped around his wrist grew rapidly, blocking the window.
"Susu, are you okay?" He turned around and asked about her condition.
Bai Susu shook her head: "I'm fine, these low-level guys can't hurt me."
After she finished speaking, she looked out the window and saw many male red eagles hovering in the sky. They raised their heads and cried as if threatening or intimidating.
"Oooooooo-"
Inside the tribe, three roars were heard from a male white tiger, and then the other male white tigers roared to the sky three times one after another, alerting the orcs of the three major tribes that the tribe was suddenly attacked.
The gate outside the courtyard was open, and Bai Susu saw the situation inside the tribe. The male white tigers reacted and shot at the male red eagles in the sky with bows and arrows.
As soon as the searchlights were turned on, the scene became chaotic.
Lan You: "These guys were afraid of the tribe's defenses before, but now they're rushing in regardless. They're heading straight for the stone house. It seems they're here for Susu."
