Chapter 153 - Confrontation (2/2)

Parker’s fur exploded as he got ready to climb onto a tree any moment now. He didn’t feel at all fearful. There was no way these tigers and wolves could harm him in this forest, and when he got back to the village, he would be under the protection of his tribe.

Even if there was only one four-striped beastman in their leopard tribe, they now had Cortis with them.

“You really killed someone?”

Bai Qingqing’s voice snapped Parker out of his thoughts. He looked up at her. Seeing her pale face, his heart rose to his throat.

“Huff!” Parker let out an aggrieved sound.

It was perfectly normal for beastmen to fight while hunting. But Parker understood how soft-hearted Bai Qingqing was. Will she dislike me because I was too violent?

They had interacted for some time now, so Bai Qingqing understood the meaning behind some of the noises Parker made—like this one. Bai Qingqing felt frightened, but facing so many ferocious beasts, what she was most worried about was Parker’s safety.

“Cortis.” Bai Qingqing tugged at Cortis’s arm and stared at him with a pleading look.

Cortis gently patted her shoulder and placed her on the ground. He then swept his tail as he faced the enemies, bloodthirst flickering in his red eyes.

With the assurance that Cortis wouldn’t stand by and do nothing, Bai Qingqing felt slightly more at ease.

Rosa seemed unfazed by the four-striped snake beastman. “Vincent, you go deal with him.”

Vincent didn’t so much as glance at Rosa. He ran towards Bai Qingqing’s side on his four limbs. Behind him, Rosa’s mates revealed their fangs as they prepared to pounce on and kill the leopard.

The startled Bai Qingqing couldn’t help hiding behind Cortis as she gazed at the white tiger’s ferocious face.

“Screech—” A bright and clear screech of an eagle could be heard from the skies. A black figure came dashing down, landing on a tree branch on Bai Qingqing’s side.
