Bai Qingqing let out an “ahh” and turned, her heart palpitating so quickly that it felt as if it was going to leap out from her chest.

“Curtis?”

The snake figure seemed to be binding onto something in the dark. As he exerted greater force, the sound of bones being disjointed and cracked rang out.

The wolf beastman, who had thought that he was going to succeed a moment ago, now had all the air in his chest squeezed out completely. He wasn’t even able to let out an agonizing howl before he lost his young life.

Curtis squinted his eyes and threw the wolf beastman out of the tree hole with his tail. He brought Bai Qingqing and the leopard cubs scattered around in the tree hole back closer to him.

“Ssss—” Curtis laid Bai Qingqing horizontally, gesturing for her to sleep.

How could Bai Qingqing possibly be able to sleep? She said anxiously, “They are fighting so intensely outside. Why don’t you go out to help?”

The snake seemed to open his mouth and let out a sigh before he turned into his human form.

“If the village wishes to get stronger, they need to go through tempering and not fully rely on others. I’ll go after they can’t hold on anymore.” Curtis pressed her into his embrace. “This is a matter for the males. Don’t worry, I’ll ensure your safety.”

Bai Qingqing felt that what Curtis said made sense, but she still didn’t feel at ease. She stood up and walked over to the tree hole’s entrance to watch.

A female’s sharp cry suddenly rang out on the opposite, and Bai Qingqing quickly probed her head out to check it out. “What happened? It sounds like Becky!”

Oh my god. Are Becky’s children alright?

Bai Qingqing was feeling worried when she saw a female on the ground. The sound had come from that direction.

[Why did you come down?] Ford, in his tiger form, protected Becky and let her hide behind some plants where there were no beastmen around. He looked at her anxiously.

Becky had climbed down by herself by grabbing onto the tree vines. As she was inconvenienced by her big stomach due to her pregnancy, she fell to the ground midway. What Bai Qingqing heard was her cry when she fell.

“Don’t leave me.” Becky’s body and voice were both trembling intensely. She stayed close to the tiger beastman next to her, grabbing onto his fur as if she was grabbing onto a lifebuoy.
