Chapter 197 Where is the female of the cold-blooded beastman?
After the black snake beastman and the scorpion beastman led Linni out of the tunnel, they climbed over a small stone slope on the ground and entered a cursed land.
Seeing this cursed land again truly traumatized Linni. The last time she was near it was when she lost Feng, and just thinking about it made her incredibly sad.
They traversed the cursed lands, where ferocious beasts roared and pounced. The brown scorpion was quite formidable, quickly dispatching the first wave of beasts. Then they leaped into a small lake, which led to an unknown, hidden passage. They soon entered a damp tunnel. Looking at the dark underground passage, Linni wondered uncertainly: Would Yao and the others find her? What should she do now? If there was only one wandering orc, perhaps she could use the power of the Beast God to conjure a weapon and launch a surprise attack when he was off guard, but with two, she had no chance of success.
She didn't know how much time had passed—two or three hours, or even half a day? As time went by, Lin Ni's heart sank.
Black Snake carried Linni back into the water through a tunnel of unknown depth. Scorpion, unable to swim, used his large pincers to hold onto Black Snake's body and follow him. This time, Linni was prepared and didn't choke on the water. However, they stayed in the water for quite a while, and Linni was almost suffocating before they finally emerged and entered a spacious platform.
As Linnie took deep breaths of fresh air, the scorpion transformed back into a bald black man coughing desperately.
The black serpent beastman transformed back into human form and said disdainfully, "You scorpion, you're such a waste! You can't even compare to a female!"
The scorpion-orc coughed as he said, "Scorpions are land-dwelling orcs, I can't swim! You're probably trying to drown me!"
The black snake orc sneered, "You're right, how come I didn't think of that? If I drown you, I can have this little female all to myself."
The scorpion-beastman stopped coughing and cursed angrily, "Damn your father beast! We agreed to fight all three beasts together! If I die, that crocodile won't let you get away with it!"
The black snake beastman transformed his snake tail into human legs and slowly walked towards Linni: "That crocodile has probably already been killed by the little female's mate. Who told him to be so stupid? He had already snatched the female and didn't run away, why did he have to bite that white eagle?! Heh heh heh heh, he deserves to die!" After he finished speaking, he reached out to pinch Linni's face, but Linni dodged it. The cave was very dark, and Linni couldn't see their expressions at all, but she had been wary of him as he approached.
The black snake beastman looked at Linni and laughed, "Little female, where do you think you can escape to? This tunnel has layer upon layer of winding passages; your mate won't be able to find it. Be a good girl and play with us for a while, and we'll let you live a little longer!"
The scorpion beastman reached out and pulled Linni behind him, saying, "Wait a minute, Old Crocodile!"
The black snake orc said coldly, "Such a fragrant female, this old snake can't wait any longer! Anyway, I promise I won't play you to death! Get out of my way!"
Linni happened to be standing to the left of the scorpion beastman and noticed that a piece of flesh was missing from the place on his arm where there should have been a mate mark; it seemed to have been forcibly dug out.
Seeing her looking at the scorpion beastman's arm, the black snake beastman suddenly laughed, "Little female, what are you looking at? We're not some innocent, single beastmen! We've killed at least eight or ten females! How about it, are you scared now?"
Linnie asked, "How did your partner die?"
The black snake orc laughed loudly: "Haha, how did he die? Of course, he was bullied to death by a wandering orc! What good end can the mate of a cold-blooded orc have?"
Linni said, "If your own partner is bullied to death, don't you hate it? And then you go and bully other women, aren't you just turning yourself into the person you hate?"
The black snake orc said with red eyes, "What can I do? I want to live a good life too! But I couldn't beat these wandering orcs before! My partner was bullied to death, so why can other people's partners live well?"
"That's why so many tragedies happen. If you can't beat those wandering orcs by yourself, you can join a good tribe and fight them together, right? Why join the people who hurt you and your partner?" Linni continued to press.
"A good tribe? There's no good tribe willing to accept cold-blooded orcs! No matter how well we raise our mates during spring, summer, and autumn, it's useless. As soon as we hibernate, she'll die!" The black snake orc stared at Linni like a madman: "What can we do? What do you think we can do?! Beast God's messenger, ask the Beast God why some orcs hibernate while others don't? Can't everyone be the same?"
Linni fearfully hid behind the scorpion beastman: "Then where are the females of your snake beastmen? Shouldn't there be both females and males among you cold-blooded beastmen?"
The black serpent orc's face paled, then he said even more frantically, "How should I know? Those offspring don't grow up in front of us, how should I know why there are only males and no females?"
Linni angrily retorted, "So you cold-blooded beastmen are truly cold-blooded! Not only can you not take care of your mates, but you also neglect your cubs! How can it be that only warm-blooded beastmen have females, while cold-blooded beastmen don't? It's because you neglected your cubs. The weak females died as children, or because you didn't know the cultivation methods for females, they could only remain in beast form and couldn't transform into human form! Only male beastmen leveled up to become human through battle, so there are more and more male cold-blooded beastmen, but we don't see any female cold-blooded beastmen. You never reflect on your own behavior, you only know how to complain about the unfairness of the Beast God! Have you ever thought about how warm-blooded beastmen take care of their mates and cubs? What about you yourselves?"
The black snake orc was hit where it hurt, and suddenly transformed into a large black snake, charging towards Linni.
