Chapter 459 Trouble on the Return Journey
The return journey was significantly faster than the journey there, mainly because they had been heading in a southerly direction.
By this time, winter was in its final month, with only a few days left until spring. As they moved further away from the snow-capped mountains, the weather grew increasingly warmer.
Since the weather was no longer cold, Ruan Mianmian decided to release the two cubs from the incubator.
As soon as the two little ones were free, they flew around happily in the air. As their father, Sen naturally followed closely behind to ensure the safety of the two cubs.
And so, the father and his two sons flew further and further away, gradually disappearing from Ruan Mianmian's sight.
However, Ruan Mianmian wasn't too worried about them. After all, with Sen around, the two kids certainly wouldn't suffer. She trusted Sen to take good care of them.
Meanwhile, Iwa and No carefully observed their surroundings. Since they had entered the fox clan's territory, they had to be extremely cautious.
Ruan Mianmian knew that the orcs were very sensitive about their territory, and any slight movement could cause unnecessary trouble.
So she decisively said to Iwa and No, "Let's transform into our beast forms right now and run there as fast as we can. As long as we can find a cave to stay in before dark, we shouldn't have too much of a problem."
Prior to this, everyone had been hesitant, worried that Ruan Mianmian's speed wouldn't be enough, so they didn't speed up their run.
However, when they heard the leader's order, everyone immediately transformed into their beast forms without hesitation, ready to charge at full speed.
At the same time, Ruan Mianmian sat steadily on the back of the wild beast.
Actually, she didn't particularly like riding on the wolf's back, but because the wolf was covered in thick fur, she could hold on tightly to the fur while running, thus avoiding falling off the wolf's back.
Yan looked at the leader riding the majestic black wolf and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. He snorted lightly, as if to express his displeasure.
After all, his beast form was equally majestic and powerful, so why did the leader choose the black wolf?
Jin noticed Yan's reaction, a slight smile playing on his lips, and he even playfully bared his teeth. He thought to himself, "How can you, a newcomer, compare to our wolf clan! Of course, the leader still favors our wolf clan!"
Once Ruan Mianmian was settled, the group sped away like arrows released from a bow.
Ruan Mianmian clung tightly to Ye's back, trying to lower her center of gravity as much as possible to reduce the jolting. She held onto Ye's fur tightly, rising and falling with the rhythm of Ye's running.
Just as they were about to break out of the fox clan's territory, suddenly, a group of foxes appeared in front of them and surrounded them.
The fox clan members looked wary, and the leader, a fox-beastman, spoke coldly: "What do you want by trespassing on our fox clan's territory?"
Jin felt a pang of anxiety, but still calmly said, "We're just passing through, we mean no harm, and we'll be leaving soon."
The fox clan leader, however, did not believe it. "Who knows if you're here to spy on us? We can't just let you go like this."
Upon hearing this, Yan let out a low growl of dissatisfaction, and his aura suddenly intensified. Ye also quickened his pace, protecting Ruan Mianmian behind him.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Just then, a clear chirping sound came from the sky, and Sen returned with two cubs.
The foxes were somewhat surprised to see this. They recognized Sen's extraordinary nature and even detected a hint of displeasure in his cry.
Especially after Sen Fei landed, the release of his ancestral beastman aura immediately put pressure on a group of fox-clan beastmen.
Ruan Mianmian looked at them and said, "You see, we are very strong. If we really have any ideas, your tribe cannot resist us. As you can see, we are traveling with our cubs. It just so happens that your territory is within our travel range. We have no intention of offending you."
The fox clan leader hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand, "I'll let you go this time, but don't easily step into someone else's territory next time."
The group breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace to leave the fox clan. It wasn't that they were afraid, but they were outnumbered and, with their leader and cubs with them, they wanted to avoid trouble.
As darkness fell, they finally found a cave and settled down for the time being.
