Chapter 151 - A Senseless Provocation (2/2)

“Screech—” The eagle beastman quietly following them screeched a few times, and it started hovering in the skies.

Bai Qingqing looked up at the sky. “Are there wild beasts getting near us?”

“Ssss—” Curtis flicked out his tongue. He removed his skirt with one hand, transformed into half-snake-half-human, and crawled up a tree.

Not far away, several tigers and one wolf could be seen.

Since the eagle beastman warned them, it meant they were a threat. Bai Qingqing asked, “Are those wild tigers? That can’t be it. Wild tigers can’t possibly mix around with wild wolves. Beastmen?”

“Mm.” Curtis gave Bai Qingqing an affirmative reply.

A short-winged bird was pecking on some rotten meat on the ground when it suddenly looked up and gazed around. Seeing that everything was normal, it lowered its head and continued eating.

With its body crouched on the ground, the leopard quietly went closer, step by step. Then it came to a stop as if brewing something. Just as he was about to pounce, a black wolf suddenly leaped out from behind a tree.

The startled short-winged bird made some “gah gah” sounds and abruptly took flight.

Parker quickly sprung up to bite the short-winged bird. Attacked from both front and back, the short-winged bird was so alarmed it fell to the ground. The black wolf that ran out first snapped the short-winged bird’s neck with its mouth in one swoop.

“Howl!” Parker was so furious to see the short-winged bird dead that his lungs were about to explode.

With the dead bird in its mouth, the black wolf stared at Parker, a smug look evident in his long and narrow eyes. Shaking his fur that was damp from the moist air, with the prey in its mouth, it walked away.

Regardless of how angry Parker was, there was nothing he could do about it. This was the law of nature—the prey belonged to whoever captured it, there was no such thing as first come first serve.

Parker instantly found new prey. He had just set his sights on a short-winged bird when out dashed another tiger. Now that he was hindered a second time, regardless of how dumb one was, it was clear to Parker that they were provoking him intentionally.

This was usually a gesture only shown by males who possessed a female. He hadn’t expected that Rosa’s males would be so senseless, to come in a group to provoke another female’s male.

It was not a big deal to have his prey snatched away. But what infuriated Parker was that they had killed the short-winged bird that Bai Qingqing wanted. That was unforgivable!
