Chapter 24: Zerg again!

Sang Luo heard a lot of indirect information from the high priest - as long as one's strength reaches the legendary realm, one can even comprehend the laws of time and space.

Theoretically, reversing time and space is not impossible!
Then can she go back?
Sang Luo kept thinking about this on the way back and didn't even hear Doji greeting her. After he called her twice, she came to her senses and stopped.

There were two orcs following Doji, one was the familiar Pamir, and the other was a fifth-level elephant orc, who was newly recruited.

"What are you thinking about? You look so absent-minded. I hope the high priest didn't make things difficult for you?" Doji joked with a smile. She was wearing a loose silk maternity dress and her gait was quite shaky.

Pamir supported her carefully, fearing that she would fall or get hurt.

Sang Luo glanced down and saw that Doji had gained some weight recently. His body looked fuller and stronger, and his belly had also grown bigger, slightly pushing up against his maternity clothes, but it didn't look particularly noticeable.

Most orc races are not very noticeable when they are pregnant.

The orcs of the Thousand Elephant Tribe felt a little lonely, but Pamir was extremely happy. Even though Doji had just accepted a fifth-level partner, the first baby would also be his!
Sang Luo could tell whose cub it was at a glance and smiled sincerely. Doji and Pamir were leopards, so the gestation period would not be long.

"The high priest asked me to come over to thank me for saving her grandson. Not only did she not make things difficult for me, she also gave me a lot of good things... What about you? When will you give birth? Did the witch doctor tell you?" Sang Luo walked over quickly and held her hand. He was very happy that the tribe would have a new member.
He took out a small wooden box and said, "I'm afraid I wasn't there when these little guys were born, so this will be a gift to them in advance."

"Haha, the baby is due in less than half a month. I've been suffering from back pain lately, and these little guys are restless in my belly!" Doji pushed it away twice, then smiled and let Pamir accept the gift. He touched his belly, his face full of happiness and satisfaction.

The gestation period for leopards is about three months.

"You were pregnant in the Ruble Forest before?" Sang Luo was surprised.

"Well, I didn't expect these little guys to come so suddenly. I was really scared along the way, fearing that something might go wrong..." Pamir said.

"Fortunately the beast tide had no effect, may the Beast God bless you."

Pamir has excellent fertility and got pregnant so quickly. Liman and the others only have average fertility, so they are extremely envious. They have been staying in the cave with their partners and have hardly come out these days.

Giving birth is a big deal for females. As they are about to give birth, there is always the risk of childbirth. For the next half month, Doji will live in the delivery room specially prepared for pregnant females in the tribe so that the witch doctor can come at the first time if anything happens.

Doji doesn't have many companions, and they are all core members of the hunting team. When they have to take turns to take turns, they are always busy, so the tribal elders sent several orcs to serve them.

"Why have you been so clumsy these past two days? You can't even finish such a small task! What if you accidentally hurt a pregnant female?"

A lemur orc accidentally knocked over a basin of water, and the rabbit witch doctor Doya was pointing at him and teaching him a lesson.

"My hand was injured in the beast tide a few days ago, and it hasn't healed yet..." said the lemur orc with his head down.

Sang Luo was sitting on the bed pouring a cup of tea for Doji. His eyes were drawn to the scolded lemur orc and he frowned.

At first glance, this orc looked no different from an ordinary orc, but upon closer inspection, his eyes were a little empty, and his movements were stiff and slow, like a puppet being controlled by someone, which made people feel very uncomfortable...

When Duoya pointed at his nose and scolded him, he lowered his head, and a hint of darkness flashed across his pupils, which were mostly covered by his hair.

Sang Luo's heart suddenly skipped a beat and the water in the cup almost spilled out.

It's the Zerg!
Thanks to Anubia's experience, Sang Luo knew the Zerg's camouflage skills and plundered the females of the Orcs. This Zerg must have also set its sights on Doji's high fertility...

Compared to Anubia's almost flawless role-playing, this Zerg's disguise is too poor.

"The male beasts are usually clumsy and can't do delicate work. It happens that I have nothing to do in the tribe these days, so why don't I take care of Doji tonight." Sang Luo suggested with a smile.

"It's okay. The chief has sent several males to take care of you. I don't believe that there is not a single useful one. You, a female, just take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about anything else." Duoya asked the lemur orc to clean the floor and brought a basin of water. She asked the males to go out, let Doji lie flat on the bed, wiped her body, and put some olive oil on her belly.

"Don't worry, it's not a trouble. Doji and I are from the same tribe. I'm happy that she is pregnant and want to take care of her for two days. Besides, you see, witch doctor, there are some things that are always inconvenient for males to do. It is more convenient for me as a female." Sang Luo took the towel and washed it in the basin, saying with a smile.

"Okay, then remember to apply this essential oil three times a day, in the morning..." Duoya didn't say much. After giving some instructions, she asked the males outside the door to take good care of her and went to the rooms of other pregnant females.

Sang Luo became even more excited when he saw a flash of red in the disguised orc's eyes.

She found something for the males to do and asked them to go down first.

“Thank you for your help, Luoluo!” Duoji sighed, feeling so touched that he didn’t know what to say. “Actually, I’ve always wanted to find a time to apologize to you alone. I really shouldn’t have said those words when you were threatened by Tuzhu!”

"I know you are doing this for my own good. Tuzhu is indeed very powerful, and being paired with him will bring more benefits than disadvantages. It's just that I don't want to be forced into a partnership." Her ideas are somewhat different from those of the native females in the Beast World. She doesn't care too much about family power and inheritance. When looking for a man, she wants to find one she likes.

"I know." Doji remembered something and whispered, "Fortunately, you didn't form a partnership with Tuzhu at that time. That male beast was very ambitious! He was very cunning!"

"tell me the story."

"In order to become the tribe leader, he arranged a marriage with the witch doctor's daughter. It's been less than a month since Manla passed away, and he should have kept vigil for three months. But, only a few days have passed, and he has already got the only noble female of the Vientiane tribe leader. The two of them will hold a wedding ceremony in a few days!"

"There are many young male beasts in the Wanxiang tribe who are more talented than him. The chief originally wanted to let his daughter's first mate be chosen from among the beastmen of the tribe, but he didn't expect that he would take the position of first mate. I think he has set his sights on the Wanxiang tribe again! Such an ambitious male will bring disaster to anyone who wants him!"

"…Thank you for telling me this, but I will not stay in the Thousand Elephant Tribe for more than a few days, and I will not have anything to do with him in the future."

"That's good, but you better be careful these days. I'm afraid he will bear a grudge against you."

"Ah."

At night, Sang Luo slept on another bed, next to the sleeping Doji.

Sang Luo did not feel sleepy the whole night and kept staring at the door.

Suddenly, a mysterious black shadow appeared at the door. The figure slowly twisted into an unspeakable black shadow, crawling up the wall little by little like a spider web, surrounding the two weak females on the wooden bed.

At the moment when the two were wrapped and swallowed, Sang Luo rolled over and quickly formed a lightning ball in his hand and hit the black shadow.

"Swish——" The tentacle-like shadow retreated like the tide in an instant. She took the opportunity to rush forward and hit the direction of the door with a thunder ball.

With a scream, the fake orc fell at the door and turned into a giant black centipede!
Other orcs nearby heard the noise and rushed over. They thought the pregnant female was hurt, and alarmed the tribe leader and several elders. They saw the corpse of the low-level insect beast at the door, and the power of lightning lingered in the wound.

Then look at Sang Luo.

"You have a gifted power?" someone asked in surprise.

"I use my partner's ability quite well."

"The tribe also has a few females with superior fertility who have paired up with high-level orcs who have awakened their innate abilities and gained some of their partners' innate powers, but few females can use them so well!" They are no less capable than real high-level orcs!
Doji's face turned pale, "Luoluo, you saved my life and my child's life!" How could she, who is so smart, not think of it? Sang Luo must have noticed something was wrong a long time ago, which is why she insisted on staying tonight.

If it weren't for Sang Luo, she would have met with an accident long ago!
Pamir was so distressed that he resigned from the hunting team and will stay by Doji's side for the rest of his life.

The tribe leader and elders were furious. Zerg had actually infiltrated the Thousand Elephant Tribe! Thorough investigation!
Seeing that the orcs in the tribe seemed to have known about the Zerg for a long time, Sang Luo asked an elder, "Have Zerg appeared in the tribe before? Where did they come from?"

"Who knows where these ghost things came from? Ever since the beast tide broke out some time ago, these insects suddenly appeared in the forest. In addition to the Thousand Elephant Tribe, females from several other nearby tribes have been abducted. It's hard to guard against!"

The Zerg's camouflage ability is too strong, and they will probably not give up until they have snatched the female. Sang Luo is still somewhat worried about Doji, and wants to find out the origins of these Zerg. In addition, there have been small beast outbreaks in the forest from time to time recently, and the hunting team is short of manpower. She decides to stay for a few more days and go out for patrol with the hunting team of the Thousand Elephant Tribe.

The tribe has never had a precedent of females joining the hunting team. After all, females are physically weak and most of them do not have special powers. Once casualties occur, it will be a huge loss for the entire tribe. Even if they are females from other tribes, the tribe should put protection first.

The chief of the Thousand Elephant Tribe was originally against it.

Sang Luo tried again and again, saying that he had seen advanced Zerg before and had a certain eye for detecting the camouflage of Zerg beasts.

The chief thought that since she could even destroy the Zerg, the beast tide probably wouldn't be able to hurt her, so he simply turned a blind eye and agreed.

Outside the tribe.

In the lush primeval forest.

Sang Luo put on his equipment and armor, carried a bow and arrow bag on his back, held a half-drawn wooden bow in his hand, and jumped lightly onto a rock.

Among a group of tall and strong orcs, such a petite and gentle female is out of place.

Tu Zhu who was not far away couldn't believe it. She was actually still alive!

"..." Sang Luo also noticed this sticky gaze. She turned around and looked at him. It seemed that Tu Zhu had obtained a lot of good things from the clan leader Guici. He had been promoted to the sixth level in just over half a month.

He was surrounded by a number of level five orcs and another level six orc.

It seemed that they had never seen such a delicate and beautiful little female, and had never worked with females in the hunting team. This group of young and energetic male animals all looked at Sang Luo, some in amazement, while others looked at her with contempt.

"What the hell are the tribe leader and elders thinking? They arranged a little female to join the hunting team? It's dangerous enough for us to go out hunting. We can't take care of ourselves. Now we have to take care of this female who is holding us back. It's really asking for trouble!"

"According to the tribe leader, we must not only take care of her in advance during our journey, but also follow her instructions!"

Another level 6 orc beside Tu Zhu sneered, "Are you kidding me? When it comes to hunting, you listen to the females? Is the tribe leader getting senile?"

Sang Luo glanced at these troublemakers indifferently.

They were all Tu Zhu's bad friends. They were in cahoots with each other. She didn't believe that Tu Zhu didn't instigate them secretly.

Males are obsessed with females, but mostly only because of their fertility. In other aspects, they look down on weak females.

"Hey, little female, why don't you hide behind us? We will protect you and we don't ask for anything from you. Just mate with us and give birth to a few cubs." Someone in the crowd laughed.

"Well, okay." Sang Luo's eyebrows curved and her red lips curled up.

The noise in the crowd stopped instantly, and those troublemakers were captivated by her smile, with a look of fascination on their faces.

Tu Zhu also stared at her, narrowing his narrow eyes.

Sang Luo pulled the bowstring in his hand, which was a little tight. "But it's not that easy for me to like you. Why don't you compete with me? If you win, I'll give you a cub?"

She pulled an arrow from the animal hide bag, drew the bowstring, and aimed at the bear that laughed the loudest.

The feather arrow flew out of his hand in an instant, and the male beast was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly dodged. The feather arrow was not aimed at him, but just brushed past a strand of his hair and hit a poisonous snake star beast a hundred meters behind.

I don’t know if it was because of the feather arrow or the failed sneak attack by the star beast.

The bear beast was covered in cold sweat, soaking his clothes!

Someone turned around and ran to look at the body of the star beast. Lightning was wrapped around the wound, and it was killed in one blow!
"Orcs below level five can't do this. Are you so amazing?"

Whether it's her proficiency in using her innate power or the accuracy of her arrow, this female should not be underestimated!
Sang Luo retracted his bow and arrow, jumped down from the rock, and smiled at the dumbfounded bear beast, "You were so close, but you didn't even notice the danger. I'm sorry, you're too weak and don't deserve to be in my eyes."

The bear beast's face turned purple, and he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to crawl into the ground!
"Haha, A Manli, you are not even as good as a little female, and you still dare to ask others to give birth to you? I think it would be better if you were the one giving others the birth." Someone laughed even louder.

Ah Manli was so ashamed that he turned into a beast and ran away.

"Little female, why don't you come with us? We can take care of each other. We don't want anything from you!" The leader was a white-haired snowy owl orc. These guys looked much friendlier.

"No, just focus on your own work as before. I can protect myself."

After Sang Luo finished speaking, he went to the front of the team and concentrated on killing the star beasts.

This farce only lasted for a while, and the orcs soon threw themselves into the battle and forgot everything else.
