The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

"What happened?" Ling Feng asked upon seeing Tasuo's strange expression.

Tasuo's expression was grave: "Divine Envoy, we will talk about the Endless Forest later, but we are about to face a major crisis."

"Major crisis?"

"Yes, the dark horde!" Tasuo shouted as he rushed out: "Divine Envoy, I must take my leave now!"

Soon, Tasuo's deep voice echoed from outside: "Everyone, prepare for battle! Check the eight War God Puppets for the last time; we must withstand the initial wave!"

Ling Feng stepped out of the room and saw the entire tribe bustling as if preparing for an impending army attack.

"Tama, come over here!" Ling Feng quickly waved when he saw Tama not far away.

"Divine Envoy, why are you out here?" Tama asked, surprised. "You are our most esteemed guest. The dark horde will emerge soon; please stay inside. It's not good if you get hurt..."

Listening to Tama's nagging, Ling Feng felt amused and helpless; had he become a "vase" at a time like this?

"I just wanted to ask you, what is this dark horde? Why is everyone so vigilant?"

Tama slapped his forehead: "I forgot you come from outside, Divine Envoy, and don't know about the dark horde! Actually, the dark horde is a common yet dangerous phenomenon in this Dark Forest. Periodically, a beast tide occurs, with beasts flooding furiously through the forest's outskirts."

"Because these beasts have lost their minds and are extremely dangerous, we call them the dark horde!" Tama explained seriously. "But it's okay; we're accustomed to dealing with this."

Ling Feng expressed his surprise: "Seeing so many experts in your tribe, are they still unable to withstand the dark horde?"

Tama sighed slightly and said: "The beasts in the dark horde may be weaker individually, but there are so many of them! Each horde has at least tens of thousands of beasts! Moreover, an eerie black aura surrounds them, making them even more frenzied and violent!"

At this moment, a young man rushed over and asked Tama: "Tama, the Clan Leader wants to know how the Archer Group is preparing!"

Tama patted his quiver and said: "Don't worry; my arrows are eager to fly!"

Speaking, Tama turned to Ling Feng and said: "Divine Envoy, would you like to return to your room?"

Ling Feng smiled wryly: "But I am a man, after all. How can I hide in a room at this time and let you girls protect me? Although I'm alone... Oh, right, I have some companions outside; I'll bring them in!"

Suddenly, Ling Feng recalled Xuanyuan Xia and the others, who were unaware of the dark horde situation.

"Divine Envoy has companions?" Tama nodded and said: "Quickly bring them in; it's dangerous outside!"

Ling Feng promptly found Xuanyuan Xia and the rest and briefly explained the tribal situation, bringing them into the tribe.

"Divine Envoy, these people are..." The Clan Leader noticed Ling Feng and the group behind him, his eyes narrowing involuntarily!

Because he could keenly sense that the ethereal woman behind Ling Feng gave him an overwhelming and terrifying feeling! Though she smiled brightly, Tasuo felt as if confronting an insurmountable mountain.

"These are my friends!" Ling Feng disregarded the subtle change on the Clan Leader's face: "I believe we can assist you later!"

"That's excellent!" Tasuo pretended nonchalance, glancing at Xuanyuan Xia, then said: "Divine Envoy, you should arrange for your friends, is that okay?"

Ling Feng nodded.

About half an hour later, Ling Feng was at the village gate, alone.

"Tama, is this your Archer Group?" Ling Feng asked, seeing a row of agile girls: "Why are they all girls?"

Tama said: "My father says melee combat is for men; we girls hone our archery for rear support! This way, the tribe's women face significantly reduced risks."

Tama hesitated a moment, then continued: "Divine Envoy, can you truly lead us from here? Can we genuinely return to the sunlit land?"

"Why ask that suddenly?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

Tama said wistfully: "We've grown tired of this life, fighting endlessly for survival, facing death with the slightest slip! We don't even know if we'll survive till tomorrow... Do you know why the tribe prioritizes safeguarding girls? It's because the tribe's continuation relies on women!"

Saying this, a shadow crossed Tama's face: "But if a woman is injured and can't fight, she serves just one purpose for the tribe: bearing the next generation! I..."

Tama's face bore a determined look: "I, Tama, will not be a woman solely for bearing children! I want to exit the tribe, cross the Dark Forest, reach the Endless Forest, break our God race's seal so we can leave here and never return to such a life!"

Ling Feng felt moved by Tama's words.

He gently stroked Tama's hair: "Don't worry, I promised to lead you from here, and I will accomplish that, guaranteed!"

Tama looked at Ling Feng in surprise, not expecting this "affectionate" gesture of stroking her hair, her face blushing immediately as she stammered: "Divine Envoy, you... you shouldn't..."

Before she could finish, the sound of horns blared from afar again.

Tama's blush vanished instantly. She turned and looked at the distant black line: "It's coming; the dark horde is finally upon us!"

Ling Feng raised his eyes, gasping involuntarily; from kilometers away, from the Dark Forest, a tide-like beast swarm was sweeping toward them!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The earth seemed to quake, everyone in the tribe was in battle readiness, yet Ling Feng saw no trace of fear in them!

"Prepare!" shouted Tama suddenly: "Ladies, show these beasts the might of our Archer Group!"

Over fifty young women simultaneously aimed their bows.

Tama squinted, calculating the beast tide's distance.

"Fire!" When she saw the tide enter shooting range, she shouted swiftly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Rows of black arrows, like clouds, rained towards the beast tide.
