As she had snapped off the tree leaf in a hurry, the instant her hands grazed against them, two large gashes appeared in her palms, and blood started seeping from them like a stream.

Howl~

The leopard cubs panicked. They instantly surrounded their mother and stuck out their necks to crawl onto her, resulting in a long muddy streak as their paws slipped from her.

Bai Qingqing had completely given up. Since she was already covered in filth, she gave up on admonishing her cubs and simply let them step all over her.

“Mommy is fine.” Hiding under a banana leaf, Bai Qingqing raised her head and gazed in the direction of the cave. “The rain is getting heavy. You three should go to the cave first.”

Howwwl~

The cubs shook their heads unanimously.

“Well, up to you then.” As Bai Qingqing spoke, she suddenly felt something hugging her.

At first, she had thought it was one of her mates. But when she turned around, there wasn’t a single person behind her.

She felt mildly delighted. Shifting her vision downwards, it turned out that this “banana leaf” was now encircling her waist like a belt.

So, it was a carnivorous plant.

The cubs, who also realized it, hurriedly leaped towards the plant and bit at the leaves. Thankfully, this was a small tree that only seemed capable of capturing small-sized prey like rabbits and rats, so the leopard cubs easily munched the tree leaf encircling Bai Qingqing’s waist to pieces in a few bites.

Bai Qingqing whipped out the snake scale Curtis gifted her. She boldly struck and sliced off a tree leaf haphazardly, then covered An’an’s head with it, before turning around and running.

Roar!

The cubs ran even faster, and in no time overtook Bai Qingqing. But every time they overtook her by a certain distance, they would turn back and wait for their mommy.

Heartened by this sight, Bai Qingqing’s anger from the earlier incident subsided.

She was alarmed to find that she was useless without the protection of males and couldn’t do anything without them in the wilderness.

Worried that she might step onto something, Bai Qingqing started paying attention to the road. And she really did see a few wild snakes, but she increased her speed before she managed to take a close look at them.
