Chapter 145 Bad News
Qin Ye frowned, scrutinizing Li Miao, who was a brown-rank male.
Qin Ye pondered to himself, if he rashly followed Li Miao to a secluded place in the deep mountains, what awaited him was either a carefully laid trap or his brother who was truly hanging by a thread and waiting for his rescue?
"Can I find some people to go with you?" Qin Ye asked, looking directly into Li Miao's eyes.
Li Miao shrugged, nodded nonchalantly, and said, "If you really want to save your brother, you'd better hurry up."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye quickly gave the guard a wink, and then said to Li Miao, "Please wait here for me for a moment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly transformed into beast form and galloped towards his home.
As soon as he got home, Qin Ye said to Ruan Xiyue, "Yue'er, please call Jiu Chen and have him bring some elite cheetahs to the entrance of the lion tribe to meet me at a certain place." Qin Ye was worried that this was a trap and didn't want Ruan Xiyue to be in danger, so he didn't mention Long Ze's injury, for fear that she would worry and make a mistake.
Without asking any further questions, Ruan Xiyue immediately tapped her earring six times to contact Jiu Chen.
Seeing Qin Ye's eagerness, Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but ask, "Could you tell me what it is?"
After thinking for a long time, Qin Ye finally decided to tell the truth.
“Then I’ll call Cong Xian too.” After saying that, Ruan Xiyue immediately tapped her earring four times to notify Cong Xian.
Immediately afterwards, she tapped her earring three times to call out to Long Ze, but no one responded.
These earrings are just like the Bluetooth touch-sensitive headphones that Ruan Xiyue used in her previous life.
The summoned beastman can be connected by simply tapping twice.
Normally, if Ruan Xiyue taps the button twice, she connects to Qin Ye; if she taps it three times, she connects to Long Ze.
At this moment, Long Ze's earring vibrated incessantly, but his consciousness was blurred. Several times he tried to raise his hand to touch the earring in response to Ruan Xiyue, but he couldn't lift it up no matter what.
Ruan Xiyue frowned, her eyes filled with determination, and said to Qin Ye with unwavering resolve, "I must go with you!"
Hearing Ruan Xiyue's unquestionable tone, Qin Ye knew that it would be difficult to change Ruan Xiyue's mind.
Qin Ye's brow seemed to be knotted together by an invisible force, and his heart was tormented as if it were being scorched by a raging fire.
Various possibilities flashed through his mind. He feared that this was a carefully laid trap by the enemy, and that once Ruan Xiyue stepped into it, she would be doomed.
He was also terrified that this wasn't a trap, and that his brother was truly teetering on the brink of death, his life hanging by a thread. Every possibility felt like a heavy hammer, striking his heart relentlessly.
How could Ruan Xiyue be completely unaware of Qin Ye's inner turmoil?
She understood that if this was a trap, Qin Ye was worried that she was pregnant and unable to withstand the unknown dangers. He feared she would be harmed in this conspiracy.
If it weren't a trap, Qin Ye was afraid that Ruan Xiyue might not be able to bear seeing the severely injured Long Ze. Or perhaps, she would need to overexert her powers to save her brother...
Qin Ye was caught in a dilemma.
His love for Ruan Xiyue and his worry for his brother were like a fine net, suffocating his heart.
Ruan Xiyue gently tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Qin Ye's neck, pulled him closer with a slight force, and then placed a soft kiss on his chin.
"Don't worry, Aye, you must believe me, okay?" Ruan Xiyue's voice was gentle yet powerful, like the warm spring sun, slowly flowing into Qin Ye's flustered heart, gradually calming the turmoil in his heart.
Looking into Ruan Xiyue's determined eyes, Qin Ye made a decision in an instant. His eyes were bright, and he said firmly, "Okay! Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you!" After saying that, he kissed Ruan Xiyue's forehead with deep affection.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Ye's figure blurred, and he instantly transformed into the majestic Lingyue Leopard.
Ruan Xiyue nimbly flipped over and mounted the leopard's back, then tightly hugged Qin Ye's neck with both hands.
"Duoduo, take advantage of the discount and quickly buy me one hundred healing pills and one hundred mid-grade energy pills," Ruan Xiyue said urgently in her mind.
[Alright, my esteemed host! After the next system upgrade, the system shop will have a week of discounts every month!] Duoduo's cheerful voice rang out.
However, at this moment, Ruan Xiyue was filled with worry, her mind preoccupied with the unknown dangers she was about to face.
Even upon hearing the news, he merely nodded slightly, showing no joy whatsoever.
She took a deep breath, swallowed a mid-grade energy pill, and then anxiously tapped her earring.
She tried to contact Long Ze again, her constantly tapping fingers revealing her inner tension and unease.
Just as Ruan Xiyue arrived anxiously at the entrance of the Lion Clan tribe, Long Ze finally made contact via the earring.
"Hmm..." Long Ze's voice came through, his breath so weak it seemed as if it would stop at any moment. But he was still trying to make his tone sound steady, attempting to cover up the uncontrollable weakness.
Hearing that familiar yet so weak voice, Ruan Xiyue's eyes instantly welled up with tears. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, falling heavily to the ground with a soft thud.
"How's the situation on your end? Are you out of danger? We brought sixty orcs with us. Are we enough?" Ruan Xiyue asked anxiously, her voice trembling slightly with worry.
Long Ze let out a weak, soft laugh, a laugh filled with utter exhaustion:
"I'm sorry to have troubled you... We're still in danger. They originally planned to kill us to silence us, but luckily other orcs passing by saw us and now they've turned around and are chasing after that group of orcs."
He paused for a moment, then said, "If you're coming, you'd better hurry."
Ruan Xiyue was extremely anxious, so she immediately leaned close to Qin Ye and whispered Long Ze's words into his ear without missing a single one.
Qin Ye's expression was solemn, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and loudly ordered the orcs to set off immediately, without delay.
At this moment, every orc could feel the tension and urgency permeating the air, as if a life-or-death race against time had begun, making everyone's hearts clench tightly.
Li Miao led the way, turning his head from time to time, his gaze quietly falling on Ruan Xiyue, his eyes seemingly hiding some deep meaning, making it hard to fathom.
At this moment, Ruan Xiyue's mind and eyes were only on Qin Ye, and she had no time to care whether Li Miao's probing gaze was kind or malicious.
She focused intently on using her wind magic, trying to provide Qin Ye with more assistance and increase his speed. With her efforts, a gale howled around Qin Ye, propelling him forward at breakneck speed.
As time went on, the distance between the rear of the group and the orcs in front gradually increased.
At the back of the line, the orcs tried their best to catch up, but they still couldn't close the ever-widening gap. They could only watch helplessly as the figures in front of them gradually disappeared into the distance, and continue to chase after them with all their might!
