Lying on the Beastman’s back, Wu Yue couldn’t help but observe more carefully.

Suddenly, her eyes fixated on the top of the Beastman’s head.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, a hint of a different color had appeared on the top of the Beastman’s head.

Black... That color didn’t belong to any of the Beastmen from the Four Great Tribes of the Polar Forest.

So...

She inwardly sighed at her bad luck. ’Are these two Beastmen actually from an Extreme Forest Outer Tribe?’

Some time had passed since the Poisonous Insect incident. The other tribes had all sent people over, and the situation in each tribe had reportedly stabilized.

Even the Flying Eagle Tribe had said that the members of the Extreme Forest Outer Tribes had already left. ’So why are there still two of them here?’

’And they’d somehow gotten their hands on hair dye to match the color of the Snow Tiger Tribe’s members. Dyeing your hair this young is bad for it, don’t you guys know that?’

’Wait, is this really the time to be worrying about the quality of their hair?’

Reining in her wandering thoughts, Wu Yue decisively closed her eyes and feigned sleep.

’I can’t let them know I’ve figured out who they are. Otherwise, they might just kill the hostage. That kind of thing happened all the time in TV shows.’

Perhaps Wu Yue had been silent for a little too long, as the Beastman carrying her shot a subtle glance at the Beastman Warrior beside him.

The other Beastman slowed his pace by a few steps and quietly circled around to the other side, only to discover that the young female had already fallen asleep.

Relieved, he told the Beastman carrying Wu Yue, "She’s asleep!"

Both of them instinctively lightened their steps and began to deliberately pick flatter paths as they moved forward.

Thanks to her cultivation of witch power, Wu Yue was naturally aware of their recent little actions.

She was just a little curious. ’Did these two Beastmen come specifically for me, or did they just pick a house at random to snatch someone from?’

The sky grew darker, and the wind began to howl through the forest, raging like a beast freed from its cage.

Her hair hopelessly tousled by the wind, Wu Yue could only pretend to wake up shivering. "Are we not there yet?"

The Beastman Warrior carrying her was a top-tier actor, his tone full of apology. "It’s gotten too late, and since this is our first time coming to the caves, we’ve gotten lost.

So we were thinking of finding a cave to take shelter from the rain and setting out again at daybreak."

Wu Yue sighed and patted the Beastman’s shoulder. "I never would have thought you Beastman Warriors get lost, too. Hurry up and find a cave to get out of the rain. It wouldn’t be good if you got sick."

Upon hearing her words, the two Beastmen both heaved a sigh of relief. They exchanged a glance, and the same thought surfaced in both their minds: ’This young female really is gullible.’

But what they didn’t see was that the expression in the eyes of this supposedly gullible young female had also relaxed a little.

Although she had kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep the entire journey, she knew that a significant amount of time had passed since they left the tribe.

Given the traveling speed of Beastman Warriors, she was probably already a great distance from the tribe.

Just a moment ago, she had been wondering how to make these two Beastmen stop. Otherwise, there was no telling where she would be by tomorrow.

After running for a while longer, the three of them finally found an animal’s den on a patch of high ground.

The two Beastman Warriors showed no courtesy. They chased out the family of animals living inside and commandeered the space.

The aggrieved HOWLS of the animals could be heard for a long time afterward. For some reason, Wu Yue just had a feeling they were being cursed out.

Since she was covered with a Beast Skin, she hadn’t been exposed to much of the rain.

The two Beastman Warriors were soaked to the bone, but given their robust physiques, it was hardly an issue. It certainly wasn’t enough to make them sick.

Wu Yue gave a wry smile as she looked at the items the Beastmen had placed inside the cave.

’It seems I’ve been abducted along with all my belongings.’

The animal den reeked. Leftover bones were strewn everywhere, and the air was thick with a foul, gamey stench.

Since the two Beastmen wanted to keep up their act, Wu Yue decided to play along.

She ordered her two kidnappers to clean out the cave, then sent them to gather some thick branches for firewood.

The wood inside the thick branches would still be usable once the wet outer parts were stripped away.

As Wu Yue ordered them around, running them ragged, the two Beastmen gained a whole new understanding of the Snow Tiger Tribe’s females. ’We are never accepting a mission to kidnap a female again,’ they thought. ’This is just terrifying.’

A moment later, however, as the young female roasted the cleaned and skewered meat until it began to SIZZLE, dripping with juices and smelling utterly delicious, the two Beastmen instantly cast aside their earlier thoughts about the troublesome Snow Tiger female. Instead, they just squatted to the side, drooling with single-minded focus.
