“There are some beastmen heading over here.”


  “Alva!” Bai Qingqing let out a surprised cry. “Why are you here?”


  Alva broke into a bright smile at seeing her. “I secretly followed behind you. I’ve handed the village back over to my father.”


  “You!” Bai Qingqing couldn’t be bothered to nag at him.

  Parker wasn’t in the mood to teach him a lesson. He walked outside the cave, not turning his head as he said to her, “Go hide further inside. Look after the cubs and don’t let them run around.”


  Bai Qingqing could sense Parker’s wary emotions and started to feel nervous as well. She quickly nodded. “Alright.”


  “Meow—”


  The moment Bai Qingqing went in, two cubs hung onto her legs, leaving behind a few more scratches.

  “Shush~ Don’t make a sound.” Bai Qingqing hugged them. To ensure that they stayed quiet, she pulled down her clothing to feed them. For Third, who didn’t get to eat, she just fed him with a finger.

  Third was used to this and was very well-behaved, not crying out. He just bit his mother’s finger and played with it.

  Bluepool didn’t hear anything, so he crawled forward a little and looked around.

  Not long later, a few blurry figures appeared in the rain. The crying sound had come from there.

  It was a female’s cry. Upon a closer look, a petite female seemed to be laying on one of the tiger’s back.

  Parker frowned, removing his animal skin skirt and taking on his leopard form.

  Why did they let the female cry? They let the female be drenched in the heavy rain just like that?

  That was too deranged! To think that they’d treat a female like that. They must be feral beasts.

  No, that wasn’t right. Feral beasts moved around by themselves, but there were five beastmen over there.

  The beastmen had clearly noticed Parker and Bluepool in the cave as well. They paused in their steps.

  “Roar!”


  Parker let out a warning roar.

  The five beastmen exchanged a glance and then ran over without a care.

  Parker and Bluepool realized at the same time. These beastmen didn’t have good intentions.

  Parker made the first move. Bluepool took a look inside the cave and chose to stay on guard.

  “Roar!”


  The five beastmen roared out at the same time, wearing savage and brutal expressions.

  From Parker’s experience, he inferred that these five beastmen were all three-striped.

  Three-striped beastmen were considered strong and hard to come by in the City of Beastmen. To think that they encountered a group of three-striped beastmen here. He had no idea if they were unlucky or if they had encountered a settlement that was stronger than the City of Beastmen.

  Curtis, come back quickly.

  Parker thought to himself, then pounced toward the tiger beastman carrying the female, hoping to rescue her while he was at it.

  The tiger’s back shook, and then he pounced towards Parker. The two beastmen immediately got into a fight.

  The female let out a cry as she fell to the ground. Her hands and legs were both tightly bound together by vines not much thicker than her arms.

  Then, another fox beastman joined the battle.

  Bluepool immediately felt that the situation didn’t seem good. Parker might be able to deal with one, but it was hard for him to deal with two. However, there were three more of them on the other side.

  The other three beastmen didn’t help. They clearly didn’t think much of this leopard. One of the beastman bit onto the female’s hands, dragging her toward the cave. The female immediately let out even more pitiful cries.

  Bai Qingqing hugged the cubs tightly and anxiously asked, “What happened?”


  Bai Qingqing turned and threw a glance at her, then said to Alva next to him, “Take her to the sky.”


  Alva helplessly said, “I can’t even fly by myself in this heavy rain. I’m not an eagle beastman.”


  In the past, he had been able to fly in the rain. This was something that made him more amazing. However, after he lost his feathers, he could no longer do that.

  The other three beastmen were two wolves and one bear. When they heard the female voice in the cave, their eyes immediately gleamed excitedly, and they accelerated as they dashed toward the cave.
