Not only her, but the other leopards in her companions all looked at Zhiya.
Zhiya didn't have many emotions.
Su Che noticed their reaction and asked:
"What? Are you surprised that I have a leopard clansman with me?"
Sally snapped out of her daze and said:
"So you're the one beside Zhiya who doesn't have a long tail or animal ears. Just now, Ling Shu said you were a witch, and that you saved Ling Shu."
As he spoke, he bowed in Su Che's direction.
"We are very grateful for Lord Wu's help. Ling Shu and the others are very important companions to us!"
Listening to her words, Su Che gleaned a very important piece of information.
"You know Zhiya? You know that Zhiya is accompanied by a person without a tail or animal ears?"
Sally looked up at Su Che, then at Zhiya, and said:
“I am the daughter of the chieftain of the Leopard Clan, and the older sister of Ma Guang, the Leopard Clan member you killed.”
Su Che: "…………"
Oriya: "…………"
Although Zhiya is a member of the leopard clan.
I once lived in the leopard tribe for a period of time.
But she didn't know who the leopard tribe chief's daughter was.
never seen it.
Now she's telling me she's Makoto's older sister?!
So, isn't there a blood feud between them, where one of them killed the other's brother?
Su Che couldn't help but take two steps back.
I never expected to run into Makoto's sister.
The other side has a large and powerful force.
Su Che can ride away on a giant panda.
However, this will be a very troublesome thing.
In this dense fog, he could choose to run away, but if he encountered a giant like a hippopotamus again, he would have to face enemies on both sides.
I originally planned to find some companions to leave this foggy forest together, but...
They found their enemy?!
Zhiya's hand was already gripping the dagger, which was stained with deadly poison.
If these people rush up, she will do everything in her power to stop them and let Su Che leave.
The atmosphere was incredibly heavy!
Neither side spoke!
Until Sally opened her mouth and laughed:
"You don't need to be nervous. Although I am the chieftain's daughter, I don't have much of a relationship with him."
“In my father’s eyes, I am just a high-ranking breeding slave in the tribe.”
“My father had long planned to give me to those high-ranking leopards in the tribe so that I could bear their offspring once I entered the reproductive period.”
"But before that, I had already escaped and encountered them."
"I learned before I escaped that my younger brother, Mako, was killed by a surviving leopard clan member named Izumi, along with a tailless and animal-eared person by her side."
“I’m actually quite happy that Ma Guang is dead. He deserves to die.”
Su Che was startled by Sally's words and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Are you serious? That was your brother who died. Besides him, several other members of the leopard clan also died at our hands..."
Sally recounted:
“I know that although Ma Guang is my younger brother, I don’t consider him to be family.”
“I have a younger sister who is not very old, and she was taken in by Ma Guang.”
"My sister was too young and left this world before she was born."
“Even my mother, Ma Guang, led a group of high-ranking leopards and tortured her to death.”
“My father turned a blind eye to this. In his eyes, my mother was nothing more than a tool for him to reproduce. Female leopards were worthless to him!”
When this is mentioned...
Among the group of over a hundred people, the female beast-eared girls all showed sad expressions.
In a world where all we know is eating and reproducing.
There is also a reproduction period.
Moreover, it is only present in females.
Males, however, can reproduce at any time.
They don't care whether the female members of the tribe are in their breeding season.
If you die, you die. It would be best if you could live to give birth to offspring before you die.
Especially those who consider themselves superior beastmen.
Sally's story.
It sounds like something out of a barbaric era.
Zhiya seemed numb, and said indifferently:
"This is just their routine operation; females are not worth mentioning to them."
"They only need to think about themselves; if there aren't enough females, they can just go and plunder more."
"I just didn't expect that even the chieftain's partner and daughter would suffer the same fate."
Sally gritted her teeth and said:
"So I escaped, and I was with them, experiencing and witnessing those atrocities."
"We want to find a place where there is no unfair treatment, to start our lives anew."
As she spoke, her eyes became sad again.
"But... once we entered this forest, we were completely trapped. The fog was so thick that we've already lost several of our companions."
Everyone else looked incredibly sad.
Su Che couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"This place is truly bizarre; it's the first time I've ever seen such thick fog."
"Although I really want to get out of here quickly, it's probably getting dark soon."
"With such thick fog, wild animals might appear after dark."
"Sir, let's use fire. Hopefully, these enormous beasts will be afraid of the firelight, otherwise, I'll really be helpless."
Upon hearing Su Che's words, the beast-eared girl, who was over two meters tall, frowned.
"It's because we don't have any kind of fire that we've encountered wild animals several times in this foggy forest these past few days."
"There's nowhere to get fire in a place like this."
The level of civilization in this world.
It was much lower than Su Che had imagined.
Because Su Che had lived with Daji and the others for a long time, he had become accustomed to the various aspects of life in the tribe.
But they forgot that the other tribes actually lived the same way as Daji and her people did before.
There was no fire, no bamboo or wooden houses, and no animal husbandry or livestock farming.
He hesitated for a moment.
Su Che took out several tung oil lamps from his spatial ring.
I didn't bring many this time, only about seven or eight.
After lighting one of them, use the tung oil lamp to light the rest of the lamps.
The lamps were distributed to Sally, Aya, Chizuru, and others.
Su Che and Zhiya left one behind.
Immediately afterwards, Su Che took out a long vine and distributed it.
"Chizuru, you are the tallest, so you stay here and don't move. The rest of you who took the tung oil lamps, go into the forest and find some firewood."
“Those who went to collect firewood would wrap vines around themselves. If they encountered any danger, they would pull on the vines, or if they wanted to get the firewood back, they would pull on the vines.”
