“What are you waiting for, go!” the big guy suddenly roared.

  The black dog tribe’s shapeshifters were startled all of a sudden and rushed at Ming Shu at the same time.

  The peacock tribe’s shapeshifters standing above asked weakly, “Ming Zhe…… Should we go down and help the leader?”


  Ming Zhe: “The leader told us not to send our heads.”


  The shapeshifters were confused. “What does sending heads mean?”


  Ming Zhe was silent for a while. “I don’t know.”


  Although he didn’t know what that meant, it was not hard to understand the leader was telling them not to go down.

  So the peacock tribe’s shapeshifters were very obedient and stayed up there quietly.

  Ming Shu didn’t use a knife. She broke a branch at random and hit those shapeshifters who attacked her.

  The shapeshifters jumped and screamed, and some were beaten straight back into their beast forms.

  The big guy was a little shocked and couldn’t help but step back.

  Usually the females were precious and protected by their tribes; hunting and fighting were just not for females.

  But now……

  This female was fighting ten against one and even gained the upper hand.

  “Attack her together!”


  The big guy didn’t believe this.

  The branch waved, leaving empty marks in the air. Ming Shu could hit shapeshifters where they were vulnerable every single time.

  If she wanted to kill them—


  One strike would be enough.

  The big guy seemed to see through that and layers of cold sweat appeared on his back.

  “It’s your turn.”


  As the last of the shapeshifters fell, Ming Shu pointed the branch slowly at the big guy.

  The big guy: “.……”


  This was not right. No, no.

  How could a female be so powerful.

  There must be something wrong.

  The big guy tried hard to remember the details, but he couldn’t find any reason to convince himself.

  This female was just too powerful.

  The big guy suddenly turned into his beast form and turned to run away quickly, without any backbone.

  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Ming Shu took out Little Beastie and threw it toward the big guy.

  “Awoo……” The big guy was hit and screamed.

  Little Beastie rolled quickly to one side, meeting the big guy’s eyes. Little Beastie’s fur exploded upright all over like a bulging hedgehog, and its colorful coat became even more dazzling.

  The big guy howled again for no reason, and its entire dog body shrank into a ball, moaning with its tail between its legs.

  Little Beastie grunted arrogantly.

  Ming Shu dragged the big guy back, looking up at her clansmen who were all in shock. “How long are you going to watch? Come down and tie them up.”


  The clansmen went down hurriedly and tied up the rest of the shapeshifters.

  “Our leader is so powerful.”


  “I shouldn’t have doubted our leader before……”


  “You must be powerful to be a leader. Will we not have to be bullied again in the future?”


  The clansmen looked at each other with excitement. Now they had individually determined to follow the new leader forever.

  The shapeshifters were all tied up and put in the cells.

  Even the weak peacock tribe had cells, which was enough to show the cruelty of the world.

  The big guy was better treated; he was tied up alone and thrown in the open space of the valley. Little Beastie followed and walked around at Ming Shu’s feet. The big guy didn’t even dare to make a sound.

  Wen Nuan watched from a distance, not daring to get too close. These shapeshifters…… were not good ones.

  Ming Shu moved over a small haystack. “Let’s talk.”


  The big guy: “Awoawo……”


  Ming Shu: “Speak human language.”


  The big guy: “.……”


  Ming Shu: “Who sent you to catch Wen Nuan?”


  The big guy glanced at Little Beastie that was lying on Ming Shu’s legs and he swallowed. “It’s…… It’s our leader.”


  “Why did he want her? Did he want to make her cook for you?”


  “.……”

  Little Beastie’s black jewel-like eyes swept over him and the big guy stiffened. “Our leader took a fancy on her and told us to take her back.”


  The powerful males could snatch females and could have many females at the same time. This behavior of a reckless waste of resources, however, and was strongly cursed by other shapeshifters in the shapeshifter world.

  Of course they could do nothing but curse.

  After all, the condition was

  males.

  “That’s it?”


  The big guy nodded repeatedly. He was telling the truth.

  “Do you know their leader?” Ming Shu asked Wen Nuan, who was standing nearby.

  Wen Nuan put her hands over her chest and shook her head. “No, I don’t know him. I’ve never seen him before.”


  Ming Shu petted Little Beastie and Little Beastie rubbed Ming Shu’s fingers with its small claws.

  That was all the big guy knew.

  He didn’t lie.

  But if Wen Nuan hadn’t been caught by the black dog tribe’s leader before, how could he want Wen Nuan now?

  After beating the big guy over and over, Ming Shu threw him out of the valley.

  “Go back and tell your leader that Wen Nuan is under my protection now. If he fears no death, just come and get her. I’ll treat him well…… I’m quite looking forward to it.”


  The big guy: “.……”


  He wasn’t looking forward to it at all……

  “Leader, what should we do about these shapeshifters?” The shapeshifters didn’t dare to ask Ming Shu, so Ming Zhe stepped up bravely.

  Ming Shu just threw the big guy out, but the rest of the shapeshifters were still locked up.

  “Won’t you eat them?”


  “.……” Ming Zhe answered with difficulty, “Leader, we peacocks are vegetarians.”

  The ultimate reason was probably because they couldn’t get meat.

  “If you won’t eat them, take them to trade with other tribes.” As Ming Shu said this, her eyes lit up.

  She seemed to have found a broad road to snacks…… to enrich the family.

  Since the big guy went back, the black dog tribe hadn’t sent other shapeshifters again.

  Instead, the news of a new leader, a female shapeshifter, being in charge of the peacock tribe began to circulate among the tribes.

  And the news also implicitly mentioned that the female shapeshifter was very likely being controlled by a witcher spirit.

  The leopard tribe was the first to take action when the news was leaked.

  The leopard tribe was quite obsessed with the peacock tribe.

  Ming Shu also heard that there were many foods in the leopard tribe’s territory. Among the neighboring tribes, the leopard tribe was the strongest except for the boar tribe.

  So……

  Ming Shu got caught by them.

  Because she didn’t want to waste snacks by walking there on her own.

  Most importantly, the peacock tribe’s shapeshifters told her that there were many many shapeshifters in the leopard tribe. So she must come to earn some hatred and wouldn’t let them pass!

  The leopard tribe was built very large, and some simple buildings had appeared.

  “Leader, has she really been possessed by a witcher spirit?” Some shapeshifters looked at Ming Shu worriedly.

  “Yes, are you scared?” Ming Shu picked up the topic. “I’ll bring disaster to you.”


  The leopard tribe’s leader glared at Ming Shu. “Watch her carefully. Hmph, those black dogs, they said she’s very powerful, what now, I’ve caught her. So what if she’s controlled by a witcher spirit, I’ve got her, will she be able to escape? Even if that witcher spirit comes, I won’t be scared.”


  All shapeshifters were scared of witcher spirits.

  They believed the witcher spirit would bring bad luck to the tribe.

  But……

  Who had seen a witcher spirit for real?

  They just blamed all the things they couldn’t understand on the witcher spirits.

  The leopard leader knew it clearly in his heart, and this was why he dared to speak so boldly.

  Apparently the leopard leader had great prestige. As he said that, the other shapeshifters echoed and admired him one after another.
