49: Encountering a wandering orc

Nan Zhisui's ears turned a little red.

She retracted into her sleeping bag.

White Fox transformed into a large fox, wrapping Nan Zhisui and her sleeping bag entirely in his embrace, and said softly, "female master, sleep now. I will protect you."

...

When Nan Zhisui woke up, the Little Cub Hu Qi in her arms had long since woken up and was playing with Little Snake Yang.

Nan Zhisui slept very comfortably this time; she stretched a big yawn.

Just as Nan Zhisui crawled out of the sleeping bag and prepared to put it into her space, Hu Qi suddenly said in a panic, "Father Beast, Mother, come over and look quickly, Little Sister isn't moving."

Nan Zhisui and White Fox walked over in two or three steps to check on the Little Merman, and indeed, the Little Merman was lying in the bucket, truly not moving.

Hu Qi asked anxiously, "Father Beast, what happened to Little Sister?"

White Fox observed calmly for a while and said, "I suspect she is sleeping. When I used to watch fish in the river, they slept like this."

Hu Qi didn't understand and said, "But she has her eyes open..."

Nan Zhisui smiled and said to Hu Qi, "Aqi, fish are probably supposed to sleep like that. If you are worried, shall we wake her up first?"

Little Snake Yang hissed a few times.

Should we wake her up?

Hu Qi nodded: "Let's wake her up."

Hu Qi and Little Snake Yang carefully poked the Mermaid Cub.

"Little Sister, Little Sister, wake up." Hu Qi whispered with eyes full of love.

After a while, the Mermaid Cub slowly turned over in the bucket. "Pretty Brother, hug~"

Little Aqi looked up at his Father Beast and Female Mother, and immediately broke into a smile. "She really was just sleeping. Little Sister is still alive and didn't drown!"

The Mermaid Cub tilted her head.

Fish don't drown!

After everyone relaxed, White Fox looked into the distance hesitantly.

Nan Zhisui smiled and said, "White Fox, go hunting."

White Fox suddenly looked down at her.

Nan Zhisui said, "Just as you said, we cannot sit around and eat our supplies; someone definitely needs to go hunting. You don't need to worry about us too much, Little Cub Hu Qi and Little Snake Yang are both very sharp, and I am not entirely useless. I can use fire, I also have great strength, and ordinary wild beasts cannot do anything to me."

"Okay, I will go hunting." White Fox looked at Nan Zhisui with worry and focus, "I will return as soon as possible. If you encounter danger..."

"I will set off a signal flare!" Nan Zhisui said, "The one you saw before."

"Okay." White Fox felt relieved.

"Then thank you for your hard work."

White Fox replied, "It is not hard work. I will be back as soon as possible, you must also be careful."

After speaking, he transformed into a fox and ran back into the mountain forest.

After Nan Zhisui watched White Fox leave, she said to the cubs, "Everyone stand in a line, we are going to brush our teeth. Only cubs who brush their teeth well can drink sheep milk."

The three cubs nodded in unison. "Okay~!"

Nan Zhisui found a few toothbrushes and gave one to each of the cubs. Little Snake Yang had no hands, so he used his teeth to touch the toothbrush.

The Little Merman did not understand why she still needed to use water to wash her teeth when she was soaked in water every day. Her little head was full of big question marks, looking adorable.

Only Little Aqi was the most well-behaved, holding the toothbrush and learning to brush his teeth like Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui squeezed toothpaste for them, and all three Cubs brushed until their mouths were full of foam, laughing and playing while brushing.

After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, Nan Zhisui brought the Cubs to play to pass the time.

"White Fox has gone hunting, so what should we do?" Nan Zhisui thought of the big killer weapon in her space! "I have an idea!"

"Ta-da!" Nan Zhisui took out a mobile phone. "Let me take pictures of you!"

"Take pictures?" Little Cub Hu Qi looked at the thing in Nan Zhisui's hand with curiosity. "Mother, what is taking pictures?"

She held the phone and explained, "Taking pictures is, like this."

Nan Zhisui picked up the phone, turned on the front camera, and took a group photo of herself and the three cubs.

A beautiful human woman, and three explosively cute but confused-looking sweet cubs—the whole thing was stunning!

Just after the photo was taken, Little Snake Yang was the first to be scared by the photo on the phone and hissed wildly.

"Hiss hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss!!"

Ahhh, who will save Little Yanger, Little Yanger's Soul has been caught inside that little thing!

Little Cub Hu Qi was also very nervous, "Mother, what is inside this? Have we all been locked inside this phone?"

The Little Merman opened her eyes wide and looked at the photo on the phone, dancing with joy.

Nan Zhisui laughed out loud at these Little fellows.

She explained to them very patiently.

"This is a photo, which is an image obtained through photography. You see..." Nan Zhisui took a picture of the scenery.

"It is just storing the image in this phone. It did not suck away everyone's Soul."

After hearing this, Little Snake Yang quickly let out a sigh of relief.

That's good, that's good, Little Yanger's Soul is still there.

Hu Qi seemed to have discovered a new toy, his eyes shining, "Mother, can Aqi play with this... phone?"

"Yes, but this thing is a bit bad for the eyes, don't play with it for too long."

"Mm-hmm!"

The Cubs gathered together to study the phone, taking pictures here and there, taking pictures of each other.

They were having a great time.

Just as they were playing, Nan Zhisui heard some rustling sounds from the side of the bushes.

Someone! Beastmen or wild beasts?

She kept her expression unchanged and said softly to the three cubs:

"Little Aqi, give me the phone, and then you all stand behind me."

Hu Qi pretended to be nonchalant and handed the phone to Nan Zhisui, but he was also very nervous, "Mother, what should we do, should we set off the signal flare?"

"Set it off!" After speaking, the signal flare in Nan Zhisui's hand went off directly, a very loud pew!

At the same time, with a whoosh, a black shadow sprang out.

Nan Zhisui didn't even see it clearly before she punched the black shadow and sent it flying!

The 5-year-old little fox beastman stood in front, baring his teeth, firmly protecting his younger Brother and sister behind him!

Nan Zhisui scooped up the Little Wolf Cub on the ground into her arms and stood together with the three Little Cubs.

Little Snake Yang quickly hung onto Nan Zhisui, and also hissed viciously at the surroundings.

The Little Merman was thrown back into the bucket by Nan Zhisui, and she covered the bucket lid!

At this moment, more movement came out!

A sharp claw attacked, and in an instant, Nan Zhisui grabbed the opponent's wrist, activated her Strongman Ability, and threw the opponent away fiercely.

The opponent, a Male Beastman, fell onto a stone.

"Mother, it's Wandering Beastmen!" Hu Qi roared.

Wandering Beastmen have no tribe or Family, and are not restrained.

They like to rob and plunder. They like to snatch Females even more.

Very dangerous!

"A lone Female and cubs..." The leader was a Lizard Beastman, and he licked his long tongue lecherously.

"And such a beautiful Little Female... and the Mermaid Little Princess we have been looking for!"

"Good stuff! Capture them alive!"
