Sometimes, severely wounded but not yet dead beasts would suddenly leap out from the pile of beast carcasses and attack the orcs when they were off guard.
Their eyes gleamed with a vibrant green light, their dense array of eyes resembling stars in the night sky, yet they sent chills down Ruan Xiyue's spine, almost triggering her trypophobia.
The entire icy forest was filled with a tense and bloody atmosphere, as if it were the entrance to hell, where more horrors could descend at any moment.
The beasts opposite were of varying strengths; the highest-level ability was only gray-tier, while the ones in front were yellow-tier and orange-tier beasts.
They are enormous, with coarse fur, sharp fangs in their mouths, and hooked claws, exuding a chilling aura.
Each wild beast is like a ruthless killer, excited only by the prospect of meat, always ready to pounce on its prey.
Ruan Xiyue stood up abruptly, like a fierce cheetah, and charged towards a group of orcs who looked like they were about to collapse.
She stood there, her eyes cold, her hands gathering powerful ice-based abilities.
With a gentle wave of her arm, a dazzling light flashed, and the beast opposite her was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.
Inside the ice sculpture, an ice spike mercilessly pierces the head of a beast, its blood congealing within, creating a bizarre and bloody scene.
Long Ze had actually been paying attention to Ruan Xiyue, and he would occasionally look in her direction.
Therefore, Long Ze already knew when Ruan Xiyue woke up.
He couldn't help but whisper, "Yue'er, don't release your powers like that, or you'll soon be exhausted from using them and feel unwell!"
Ruan Xiyue called out, "I understand."
She ignored Long Ze's advice and her gaze became even more determined.
Her supernatural power coalesced once more, and with a powerful swing, a deluge of ice spikes rained down, instantly pinning the charging beasts to the ground.
Each ice spike carried deadly force, instantly piercing the beast's body, splattering blood and staining the ground red.
Ruan Xiyue kept moving her feet. After killing all the beasts in front of her, she rushed to the group next to her without hesitation.
She was like a ruthless butcher, her supernatural powers never ceasing.
Ruan Xiyue's high ponytail was dancing wildly with the fluctuations of her supernatural power.
The wild beast that had just breathed its last at her feet suddenly lunged forward, its fangs only three inches from her throat—
"Crack!"
Ice exploded from her fingertips, and five ice spikes instantly pierced the beast's brain.
The still-uncongealed beast blood froze into coral-like blood flowers within the ice crystals. She stared at the ice sculpture and chuckled, "Playing dead? You're a bit smarter than some of the (Red Fox Tribe) fools!"
As his fingertips swept across the air, the entire pile of beast corpses suddenly burst forth with thousands of ice spikes, turning more than twenty beasts that had feigned death into sieves.
In the reflection of the icicles, her pupils were filled only with a bloodthirsty thirst for power.
Within just half an hour, she consumed a high-grade energy pill and three energy fruits, yet she still showed no signs of fatigue.
Her body seemed to be filled with boundless power, and every attack she launched was full of force, leaving the beasts helpless.
Ruan Xiyue had a blast in this battle, and she felt her power gradually growing stronger!
Each attack gave her a sense of satisfaction; she was intoxicated by the feeling of being in control of everything.
Ruan Xiyue did not rely on having children, but advanced to the Brown rank through her own strength.
This news thrilled her, and a proud smile spread across her face.
She knew that this was the result of her hard work and the reward for her continuous struggle.
The surrounding orcs were filled with tension when they first saw the Holy Maiden Xiyue join the battle.
After all, the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue was still pregnant with her cubs, and she released her powers without reservation every time.
They were all worried that the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue might harm the cubs in her womb.
Then, they witnessed the power of the Holy Mother Xiyue and felt an immense longing for her.
However, gradually, the beastmen's worship turned into awe.
Because they discovered that the Holy Female Xiyue seemed even more bloodthirsty than many males, and that every attack she made was filled with ruthlessness and cruelty.
The wild beasts began to retreat, hiding deep in the jungle, leaving only pairs of green eyes gleaming in the night, warily watching Ruan Xiyue's direction.
"Quickly, some orcs! Collect these prey!"
Ruan Xiyue called out breathlessly, her gaze fixed on the eerie green eyes in the woods.
It wasn't until the orcs finished cleaning up the battlefield and started eating their rations to recover that Ruan Xiyue waved her hand and walked towards the tent not far away: "You guys keep holding out for a while. That's how I am. I can kill for a while, but I need to rest for a long time."
Long Ze's gaze followed Ruan Xiyue, and he couldn't help but follow her toward the makeshift tent.
When he lifted the curtain, Ruan Xiyue was biting into an energy fruit.
The stench of blood mingled with the cool fragrance of her neck wafted towards him, and he suddenly grabbed her blood-stained hand and pressed it against his chest:
"From the moment I saw you carve the first blood flower with your ice blade, things have been jumping around very fast."
Ruan Xiyue's fingertips went numb from her pounding heart, yet she smiled and traced her cool fingertips inch by inch across his collarbone: "Scared?"
“I’m hungry.” He rubbed his canine teeth against the throbbing veins on her wrist. “So hungry I want to devour everything that puts you in danger.”
Ruan Xiyue smiled contentedly, but said reproachfully, "Long Ze, you've learned to say sweet words now!"
Long Ze sighed, licked Ruan Xiyue's neck, looked down at Ruan Xiyue's stomach, and his voice was full of concern:
"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"
Looking into Long Ze's ruby-like eyes, Ruan Xiyue saw only herself, as if every emotion she evoked touched his heart.
Long Ze pressed his head against Ruan Xiyue's forehead. He actually wanted to scold Ruan Xiyue, because recklessly expending her superpowers like this would have a negative impact on her body!
But when he saw Ruan Xiyue's determined eyes and confident smile, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
He didn't want his worries to affect Ruan Xiyue's mood, so he was willing to silently support her and be her strongest backing.
Long Ze bent down and kissed Ruan Xiyue's forehead. The extremely gentle gesture seemed to be silently expressing his endless love for her.
He swallowed his worries, his eyes filled with determination, and said to Ruan Xiyue, "You get some rest, I'm going out to keep watch."
Before stepping out of the tent, he glanced back and saw that she had curled up on the animal skin and closed her eyes.
Long Ze clenched his fists, his heart filled with worry, yet he felt helpless.
He could only stand guard outside the tent, watching the surroundings warily.
In the days that followed, Ruan Xiyue would immediately engage in battle upon waking, constantly unleashing her ice-type abilities. She even had the mind to research the combined use of wind and ice-type abilities, attempting to achieve a 1+1>2 effect.
Ruan Xiyue had a very regular schedule; she would return to her tent to rest after fighting for half an hour or an hour.
Occasionally, she would flirt with her little beast husbands in other places through the communication stone, maintaining their relationship.
She worked non-stop like this, but she didn't feel tired at all.
Long Ze, meanwhile, held the beast core in one hand to absorb energy, while continuously releasing his supernatural abilities with the other, maintaining his human form to fight and challenge his own limits.
He felt an unprecedented sense of urgency—if he didn't improve his ability level soon, his little female would soon surpass him!
Under this pressure, Long Ze finally succeeded in advancing to the Silver Rank before Jiu Chen and the others arrived.
