NOVEL WEB Chapter 35
Chapter 35: Threatening, Negotiating
Only then did Archie and the others come to their senses. Without further ado, they followed Milo’s scent.
Bai Ye and the three-star snake beast were locked in a fierce battle. They were both three-star soul beasts, but it was obvious that Bai Ye was superior. He already had a vague advantage.
As for Tang Guo, she had dozens of orcs to play with!
But not long after Archie and the others had gone in after them, they retreated the way they had come.
It turned out that Milo, Snow, and Rorie were being held hostage by two vulture orcs. Archie and the others were afraid to attack and rescue them.
“All of you, stop!” The two-star vulture orc, Black Eagle, placed his claws on Snow’s neck. As long as his sharp nails scratched slightly, the weak female would definitely die on the spot!
Bai Ye stopped first, then stood protectively beside Tang Guo.
Tang Guo secretly cursed him for being despicable and shameless, but she still stopped.
The other vulture orc, Gray Eagle, looked at the many wandering orcs who had died and his eyes almost popped out. “Leave the Endless Forest immediately, or I’ll kill them all!”
Seeing that Bai Ye and the others were really about to retreat obediently, Tang Guo was stunned. “Do you really think that they’ll be safe if we retreat?”
Bai Ye and the fifteen orcs looked at her questioningly, as if to say, ‘Don’t you?’
Tang Guo put her hand to her forehead. “Don’t you often say that stray orcs are cunning? Yet you believe their words?”
Of course not!
Archie and the others instantly roared at the stray orcs, but they had no choice but to believe it!
Tang Guo was exasperated by this group of simple-minded primitive male beasts. She flicked her whip in the air, wrapped it around a nearby stray orc, and threatened,
“I’ll give you a chance now. Release them immediately and we’ll retreat. Otherwise, from now on, I’ll kill anyone I see!”
The orcs who had just fought her had seen how powerful she was and did not doubt that she had this ability.
She had just fought one against 50. It was like a joke. Perhaps even if they had called all the other orcs in the Endless Forest, they would not be her match!
However, they could not judge her strength. They only knew that she was a human female.
But this made it even stranger. How could a human female be so powerful?!
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t release them, don’t blame me for going on a killing spree today!”
“Three.”
After Tang Guo finished speaking, she shook her wrist gently, and the vines wrapped around the orc and suddenly tightened. It was as if countless spikes had pierced his body, making him scream instantly.
Blood spilled from his body, but he was still alive.
“Two.”
Before she could finish the last count, Gray Eagle released Rorie and Snow first.
Tang Guo raised her hand behind her and gestured for them to pick her up.
Then her gaze fell on Black Hawk. “You won’t let her go? Then what I just said counts too.”
“I’ll release her!”
Seeing that she was about to count again, Black Eagle spoke but didn’t immediately release Milo. Instead, he asked, “But how can I be sure you’ll leave as soon as I release her?”
Huh.
Tang Guo exerted strength in her hand, and the vine suddenly tightened again. The orc cried out in pain again in an instant. As blood oozed out of his body, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“Are you planning to use the lives of your companions to negotiate terms with me?”
Black Eagle was clearly more vicious and cold-blooded than Gray Eagle. Seeing this, not only did he not move to let go of Milo, but his claws moved up to cut her veins.
But as he moved, a vine appeared out of nowhere, wrapped itself around his arm, and yanked him upward. He dangled in midair.
Milo, on the other hand, had been caught by the vines that Tango had flung. She was pulled back and swung back into Archie’s arms.
“Fifth Master!”
“Fifth Brother!”
“Fifth!”
The feral beasts cried out in horror. At the same time, a half-paralyzed male beast was being carried out of the depths of the forest.
It was another familiar face. It was the birdman who had tried to kidnap Tang Guo and force himself on her.
Tang Guo looked at the faces in front of her and connected the dots. She felt that there was more to this than met the eye.
So she simply followed her own train of thought and got to the bottom of things. “Is Youming one of yours?” she asked.
No one answered.
Tang Guo shook the vine and smiled coldly. “I killed Youming. Do you want to avenge him?”
“What? Youming is dead?”
The birdman and the snake beast spoke together, their faces filled with disbelief.
“Is he very strong? I didn’t think so.” Tang Guo looked relaxed. Killing a three-star beastman seemed to be as easy as crushing an ant for her.
“I will tell you, but if I do, can you really promise to let us go?”
Breaking the stalemate, the first to give way was the half-paralyzed bird.
Tang Guo nodded. “If I’m satisfied.”
“Okay, I’ll talk.”
Ignoring Black Eagle and Gray eagle, the bird beast said, “Youming is our fourth in command. He went to the Back Cliff Tribe to bring back a few females for our tribe.”
Tang Guo glanced at the three pale females and continued to ask, “Does the snake gall have anything to do with you?”
