Chapter 307: The Tribe Is Besieged

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: The Tribe Is Besieged

Yan Lie wiped the snowflakes from his head, the usual smile on his face replaced with worry.

"What’s wrong?" Xin Feng was the first to ask.

"The Golden Lion Tribe has been surrounded by Bear Clan Beastmen."

As Yan Lie’s voice faded, the room fell silent.

After a long moment, Zhu Xiu stood up, walked to the door, and pushed it open to look outside.

Bai Wanwan couldn’t hold back either. She wrapped a beast-hide blanket around herself and tried to go out.

Xin Feng grabbed her by the wrist. "It’s too cold outside, don’t go. We don’t know the exact situation out there yet. We’ll go check things out first."

Bai Wanwan pulled back on his hand, trying to bargain. "I’ll just take a peek from the doorway. I promise I won’t go out."

Xin Feng sighed. "You’re too delicate. The cold wind of the snow season could give you a fever, and getting a fever is very dangerous."

Yan Lie immediately nodded in agreement. "Wanwan, whatever you want to know, I’ll go look for you. I’ll tell you when I get back. Just don’t go out. What if you catch a chill?"

As he spoke, he grabbed another beast-hide blanket and wrapped it around her.

In the blink of an eye, she was wrapped in so many layers she could barely move.

Zhu Xiu didn’t stay at the door for long. He turned and said to them, "Xin Feng, you and Yan Lie take good care of Wanwan. I’m going to the tribe’s main gate to see what’s happening."

Through the crack in the door, Bai Wanwan could see Golden Lions running outside in their original forms.

Lion roars echoed from all directions.

"Zhu Xiu, be careful."

The knowledge that his wife was worried about him softened the severe lines of Zhu Xiu’s brow. "Okay. I’ll be quick."

Zhu Xiu left, quickly pulling the door shut behind him.

Bai Wanwan stood frozen, wrapped in the beast-hide blankets.

"Wanwan, it’s cold here. Let’s go inside and wait."

At the persuasion of her two Beast Husbands, Bai Wanwan finally turned and went back inside.

Yan Lie saw her anxiety and tried to comfort her. "They’re just surrounding us for now, so don’t worry. How about we play some poker to pass the time?"

Bai Wanwan didn’t object, but she played without any real enthusiasm, her eyes constantly darting toward the door.

About half an hour later, Zhu Xiu pushed the door open and walked in.

Bai Wanwan immediately looked up at him. "How is it? Has the fighting really started?"

"Yes."

Zhu Xiu’s expression was grim. He brushed the snow off himself before walking further inside.

He walked over to Bai Wanwan, sat down beside her, and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

"We may need to prepare ourselves. The Bear Clan has brought at least ten thousand males this time. The Golden Lion Tribe is struggling to cope."

Hearing this, the last shred of hope Bai Wanwan had been clinging to vanished.

’The fighting has really started!’

Her face paled instantly. ’A war between two large tribes like the Golden Lion and the Bear Clan would be brutal.’

She pressed her lips together, saying nothing, just hoping the Golden Lion Tribe could overcome this crisis.

"Don’t worry. The Golden Lion Tribe and the Bear Clan Tribe are evenly matched in strength. The Bear Clan won’t necessarily gain an advantage," Zhu Xiu said, holding her hand to soothe her.

Bai Wanwan nodded. ’If the Golden Lion Tribe is defeated, the Beastmen here would probably be slaughtered.’

No Beastman in the tribe would be able to escape unscathed.

To keep Bai Wanwan from worrying, none of them mentioned the battle situation outside again.

However, her three Beast Husbands took turns going out to check on the war.

At first, the Bear Clan and the Golden Lion Tribe were only testing each other, not engaging in a large-scale war.

The Golden Lion Tribe was not at a disadvantage.

Bai Wanwan had always been a good sleeper, but lately, she found herself waking up in the middle of the night, unable to fall back asleep.

From time to time, she could hear the shrill, furious roars of the Golden Lions outside.

They were distant, and the sounds were actually very faint.

But she could still hear them if she listened carefully.

Lying in one position for too long had made her uncomfortable. She shifted gently, the light down quilt still wrapped tightly around her.

The mournful sound of the wind brushed against the doors and windows. Just as she was about to tuck the quilt in, a strong arm wrapped around her.

"It’s still early." Xin Feng’s voice was husky with sleep, his warm breath grazing the tip of her ear. "Sleep a little longer."

Bai Wanwan hummed a soft reply and turned to hug his waist, feeling the endless warmth radiating from his body.

After a while, Xin Feng sensed that she was still awake. Although she was lying perfectly still, her breathing was different from when she was asleep.

"Can’t sleep?"

His palm rested on the small of her back, stroking it gently.

Bai Wanwan looked up at him. "Did you hear that?"

Males had much better hearing; of course he had heard it.

’This battle is one we can’t escape, so I have to ensure I get enough rest and maintain my strength.’

’Only then can I fight at my best if true danger arrives.’

"I heard it. Don’t be afraid. The Golden Lion Tribe has over sixty Yellow Rank Males. It won’t be easy for the Bear Clan to get the upper hand."

Bai Wanwan buried her head in his chest. "Mm, you’re right. Let’s sleep."

She forced herself to try and sleep, expecting her insomnia to continue.

But under Xin Feng’s gentle, rhythmic patting, she soon grew drowsy and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

「Three days passed.」

The Bear Clan’s attacks didn’t stop. The Witch Cave was near the Central Square, so every day, Bai Wanwan could hear the screams of wounded male Beastmen and see the bodies of fallen Golden Lions laid out in the square.

Snow drifted down, slowly covering their bodies.

"Wanwan, don’t look."

Yan Lie closed the door and pulled her back.

Even he found such a scene too cruel, let alone a female.

Finally, she made a decision.

’The Golden Lion Tribe’s Clan Leader and Young Clan Leader have both shown me kindness. Besides, if the Golden Lion Tribe falls, my Beast Husbands, my children, and I will all be in danger.’

’If I run out of Points, I can always earn more.’

’But if anything happens to my children or my Beast Husbands, I couldn’t bear the cost.’

"Yan Lie, I have a batch of medicine here. Take it to the Clan Witch and have her apply it to the Beastmen whose injuries aren’t fatal."

Her Points were limited. If she exchanged them for Extreme Effect Golden Sore Medicine, she would run out after buying just a few doses.

Besides, the number of wounded was constantly increasing.

She couldn’t save everyone, so she could only exchange for Ordinary Golden Sore Medicine.

This would allow the males with less severe injuries to recover their fighting strength quickly, which in turn could prevent more casualties.

She spent nearly ten thousand Points to get several dozen vials of Ordinary Golden Sore Medicine and placed them in Yan Lie’s hands. "Go quickly. Save as many as you can."

Yan Lie didn’t waste any time. He told Xin Feng to watch over Wanwan, then immediately pulled the door open and left.

Perhaps it was thanks to the batch of golden sore medicine from Bai Wanwan.

Over the next two days, she noticed that the number of new Golden Lion bodies in the square had decreased significantly.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

But what Bai Wanwan didn’t expect was that on the battlefield outside the tribe, the Bear Clan’s Clan Leader was losing patience after failing to break through for so long.

The Bear Clan Leader stepped forward, staring at Jin Cang on the stone wall, and issued a new command.

"Have all the Yellow Rank Males charge! We must break down the Golden Lion Tribe’s gate today!"
