Chapter 103 Punishment of the 'God'
ly, ensuring there was no swelling or redness. Since the medication had worked well, it had turned into a transparent ointment. Finally, she covered the wound with a fresh set of special leaves.After...Gasps of "Ah!" echoed through the crowd, and everyone standing beside Sweetheart unconsciously stepped back, creating space around her. Their eyes held a mixture of complex emotions as they watched her. They could never have imagined that this seemingly kind female would treat her brother's partner and cub in such a way.
The reflection in the river didn't break, it continued. Hong was kicked into the river, constantly thrashing about. The water kept going over his head. The cub was too young, untrained, and hadn't mastered the ability to shapeshift, so he couldn't save himself and sank continuously.
Jia Mei, however, plunged into the river without hesitation to grab the struggling cubs. While Si Tian stood on the riverbank, watching coldly, she neither called for help nor went into the water. Instead, she ran upstream and pushed aside a massive stone that was blocking the flow of the river.
The strength she displayed was not something an ordinary woman could possess. The rolling stones caught Gemma, who was supporting Marco, completely off guard. A stone slammed into her left shoulder with a heavy thud, and instinctively, she loosened her grip on Marco's hand as she stumbled.
Jia Mei's shoulders immediately bled, attracting two crocodiles with sharp mouths that were hiding nearby. The large and small crocodiles, wagging their tails, entered the safe river water where the Beastmen had intercepted from a crack in the giant stone. They swam past at an incredible speed, biting off Jia Mei's calf.
Jamie's pained screams, though the other orcs couldn't hear them, they could still feel the pain. Yet Jamie still held onto Hong, wanting to send her child to the riverbank.
And Si Tian was also frightened by the appearance of the two huge crocodiles, she ran away on her legs, leaving the riverbank at the fastest speed, and ran back to the tribe, completely ignoring the cries for help behind her.
Jia Mei's last hope was gone. Although she put all her effort into fighting, she was still torn apart and devoured by the two piranha crocodiles, leaving only red river water. The large and small piranha crocodiles had eaten the delicious beastman, and they felt the breath of the bear clan beastman. They wagged their tails and immediately left the river along the original path.
Only then did the reflection in the river completely disappear. The beastmen who had watched the whole thing glared at Si Tian with hatred. She was alone now, shaking her head frantically and backing away, mumbling:
"No! It wasn't me, I didn't do it!"
The voice became increasingly shrill and piercing towards the end.
Ripple's expression remained unchanged as she glanced at the witch.
Wu also happened to look at Lian Yi. He felt the fluctuation of power, coming from this female beastman. It was just that he was also very surprised, the other party's power was not weaker than his own.
The next moment, the river seemed to come alive. A clear current flowed onto the bank and reached Si Tian's feet, lapping at her ankles.
"Oh! Stay away from me! Ah!!!"
Si Tian was frightened, her scream echoed along the riverbank, reaching the ears of everyone present, but not a single beastman stepped forward to help her. Even her brother Meng just stared at her coldly.
The river water transformed into a large and a small hand, dragging the screaming Si-tian into the water, letting her struggle in it, just like Jia-mei and Hong had before.
"Brother! Brother! I was wrong! Save me! Save me! Shaman! I was wrong! Save me! Chief!"
Si Tian struggled desperately, feeling the terror of Jia Mei and Hong firsthand. In the end, she was slowly dragged to the bottom of the river and never came back up.
Meng saw Jia Mei in the water, holding Hong, waving at him, then turned and disappeared. Meng was left with tears streaming down his face, covering his face with his hands.
Then the river returned to its tranquil state, flowing gently as if nothing had happened.
"Great Beast, thank you for punishing those who harmed the female Jia Mei and her cub Hong!"
The witch touched the ground with her staff and spoke softly.
Those behind him also knelt on one knee, and spoke with their mouths:
"Thanks to the beast god, take away the bad people around us!"
A great wave of people fell to their knees, the scene was very spectacular.
Liàn'yī and Dú Yè both performed the same kneeling gesture on one knee, only Wū stood.
Not until the shaman announced the end of the ceremony did all the orcs rise to their feet.
Having been carried back by his own orc companions, the crowd began to return to the tribe in small groups. What had just happened was enough for them to talk about for a long time.
Because she had used her power, Lian's face was a little pale. She returned to the temporary cave alone with her, and soon after, a young, gender-neutral beastman delivered a small pouch of animal skin to her. He said to Lian:
"Honorable guest, this is from the witch. She said that if you eat this, you will feel more comfortable."
"Okay, I've received everything. Please thank Wu for me."
The neutral beastman smiled and nodded, then turned and left the cave.
Rill opened the small leather pouch, tipping out a lump of milky paste. She sniffed it and knew instantly that it was concentrated royal jelly, a potent tonic. Without hesitation, she popped it into her mouth.
As the royal jelly melted, she felt much better and her cheeks became rosy.
"Ripples, did you just make those"
Unable to hold back any longer, she blurted out her question.
"Do you think I wronged Sithen"
Ripples sat on the stone bed, closing her eyes and asking.
"Are those real"
I only communicated the flow of water in the river and the sand and stones within it, allowing them to restore the events that transpired.
Ripples said softly.
Upon hearing this, Dú Mǐng let out a sigh of relief.
But in the end, she was dragged into the river. I did it!
As a female beastman, even if she did such a thing, at most she would only be expelled from the bear tribe's territory, but this couldn't change her vicious heart!
There will always be males who cannot find a mate willing to accept her. Once she has the acceptance of a male, she will certainly want to take revenge on the tribe that banished her. This kind of harm needs to be eradicated early on.
After Ripple finished speaking, she gave Dugu a long, meaningful look.
This fellow, after becoming a rogue beastman, just got tangled up with a bunch of other exiled male beastmen. They banded together and attacked the Lion Tribe's territory, even succeeding once.
Having listened to the ripples and feeling the other person's unkind gaze, he swallowed nervously and said:
"I may have a bit of a temper, but I've never harmed any females or young ones."
"You'll have to give me a chance! Just one opportunity, and I'll gut your snake gall. They say the gall of black snakes can cure all poisons, and I've always wanted to test it out. I hope you don't give me such an opportunity."
Ripple smirked, her words dripping with malice. They sent a shiver down Duo's spine and made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
"I'm sure, he wasn't joking. I shook my head unconsciously to assure him."
"No! Definitely not!"
"We're temporarily living with the bear tribe, and we can't wait for them to feed us every meal. You should go hunting too, you know what I like to eat, right"
"Okay, I'll go find Hao right now!"
He darted out of the cave like he was being chased by a ghost.
On the other side, Meng was sent back to the witch's hut for treatment. This time, he sat on the stone bed, his expression no longer so depressed. He kept looking at the entrance of the grass shed, his ears twitching from time to time. Finally, he waited for the witch to come and change his dressing. the 'Royal' son! If you don't mind, please sit down and cool off with me. My body is quite heavy at the moment, so please forgive me if I am impolite in any way."Ripple chuckled, stroking Whirlwind's...
