141: Chapter 141 is an Eagle Beast!
"I saw a shadow fly out of the Tribe... My Cubs must have been snatched!"
"Flew out? It's Eagle Beasts!"
The Tribe leader's face changed drastically. He turned his gaze toward Mu Shan with a very stern look, "Mu Shan, did you or did you not handle the Eagle Beasts' eggs properly?"
Mu Shan's eyes darted around, her voice weak, "H-handled... they were handled. She must have seen wrong; it couldn't be Eagle Beasts."
Eagle Beasts usually only hunt in the wild and rarely intrude upon the territory of their beast-person Tribe. She must have been mistaken; perhaps it was just a bird.
The Tribe leader thought about it, and the more he thought, the more wrong it felt, "Several Cubs have gone missing in a row recently; this definitely isn't a coincidence."
Other Females who had lost their Cubs rushed up to Mu Shan, "Mu Shan, it was all caused by your Cub. Give me back my Cub!"
Mu Shan shoved the Female who had rushed in front of her, "It has nothing to do with my Cub, stop talking nonsense!"
Just as they were speaking, a beast-person suddenly shouted, "Look, everyone, what is that..."
Everyone followed his voice and looked up at the sky.
"Oh my god! It's Eagle Beasts!"
The shadows blocking out the sun were like dark clouds pressing down, and the sharp shrieks tore through the silence of the Tribe.
Bai Wanwan's pupils constricted—it was a swarm of Eagle Beasts, their spread wings almost covering the entire sky.
"Quick, protect the Females and The Cubs."
The Eagle Beasts flew very fast; in the blink of an eye, they were already above the heads of the beast-people.
The high-pitched, sharp, and short shrieks sounded like a death knell.
The Females and Cubs were already scurrying around in terror.
The Eagle Beasts dove down, fast, accurate, and ruthless, snatching the Females and Cubs from the ground and flying away.
"Quick, protect the Females and The Cubs!"
By the time the Tribe leader gave the order, many Females and Cubs had already suffered.
Xin Feng didn't care about anything else; he turned to protect Bai Wanwan and The Cubs, heading toward the Stone House.
An Eagle Beast noticed them and immediately dove down.
"Wan Wan, get inside!"
Xin Feng quickly pushed Bai Wanwan into the house and tossed The Cubs inside. By the time he turned back, he had already transformed into a sturdy Silver Wolf, pushing off the ground with his four limbs and leaping into the air.
Bai Wanwan closed the door as fast as she could, locking The Cubs inside.
Looking out through the crack in the door, it was already total chaos outside, with screams ringing out one after another.
Some Males had their eyes pecked out, while others were grabbed and dropped from mid-air...
The scene was extremely tragic.
Fortunately, Xin Feng had a very high Talent; facing the attack of three Eagle Beasts, he didn't seem to be struggling.
She suddenly thought of Shi Hua.
She immediately adjusted her position, wanting to search through the crack in the door.
After adjusting her position seven or eight times, she finally saw the figures of Mu Feng and Shi Hua.
Mu Feng was protecting Shi Hua and retreating toward their home. Three Eagle Beasts were also attacking them. Several times, they almost snatched Shi Hua, but Mu Feng risked injury to save her, and his own arm was already covered in blood.
"Xin Feng, coordinate with Mu Feng and let Shi Hua hide over here so we can look out for each other."
"Alright."
Xin Feng immediately shouted to Mu Feng over there, "Mu Feng, protect Shi Hua and come over here."
Mu Feng turned his head to look, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately protected Shi Hua as they moved step by step toward this side.
Just as they were about ten meters away, Mu Feng was almost pecked in the eye by an Eagle Beast. In the moment he tilted his head, Shi Hua was snatched up by an Eagle Beast.
"Shi Hua!"
The Black Dog leapt up, but was blocked by another Eagle Beast.
Shi Hua watched with spreading terror as her feet left the ground, being carried higher and higher.
"Mu Feng, I'm scared!"
But Mu Feng was already being suppressed hard by the other two Eagle Beasts.
At this moment, a bolt of silver lightning shot into the sky, its vigorous figure tracing a beautiful arc in mid-air.
Sharp fangs accurately bit into the Eagle Beast's abdomen.
In pain, the Eagle Beast loosened its claws, and Shi Hua fell downward.
Mu Feng, eyes wide with fury, fought off the two Eagle Beasts and steadily caught Shi Hua.
The Silver Wolf turned back, "Take Shi Hua into the house, I'll block these Eagle Beasts for now."
Mu Feng was filled with gratitude, his eyes reddening, "Alright!"
The cold sweat on Bai Wanwan's back hadn't even dried yet when she saw Mu Feng carrying Shi Hua over. She quickly pulled open the door, "Come in quickly."
Mu Feng stuffed Shi Hua inside, "Thank you, please help me look after Shi Hua."
"Alright!"
Bai Wanwan pulled Shi Hua into the house and quickly closed the door.
Outside, the two Males could help each other, and both Bai Wanwan and Shi Hua breathed a small sigh of relief.
"Sister, I've heard that Eagle Beasts are the most vengeful and ferocious race; what are we going to do now?"
"We'll take it one step at a time."
With such a situation outside, Bai Wanwan couldn't be optimistic.
Shi Hua was clearly unsettled, going to the door to take a look every little while.
"Stop looking. The more you look, the more worried and panicked you'll become."
"Sister, there are more and more Eagle Beasts, and Mu Feng is injured; his blood hasn't stopped flowing."
Shi Hua knew very well that if it weren't for Sister Wanwan and her Beast Husband today, she and Mu Feng would both be in danger.
"Let me take a look."
She got up and walked to the door to look outside. Sure enough, there had been only six Eagle Beasts before, but now there were eight or nine.
Mu Feng was covered in blood and clearly exhausted, but he was holding on.
Xin Feng was still clean and not struggling too hard, but if more Eagle Beasts surrounded them, it would be hard to say.
The beast-people of the Black Dog Tribe had gathered together, and the Males were protecting the Females and Cubs in batches in the center, slowly managing to fight back against the Eagle Beasts.
After watching for a while, The Cubs behind her started clamoring around her.
"Sister, what's wrong with The Cubs?"
Bai Wanwan squatted down and patted the heads of The Cubs, "They're hungry... I'll go get them some meat strips. Are you hungry? That's all we have right now."
"Not hungry, I can't eat."
Shi Hua couldn't even sit still and kept pacing around the room.
Bai Wanwan took meat strips from the room to feed The Cubs. Seeing her pacing, she reminded her, "Don't panic, conserve your energy. If we're needed later, we'll have to step up too."
After hearing this, Shi Hua forced herself to sit down, but her heart remained tense and unable to relax.
This battle lasted for a full three hours, and the Eagle Beasts still hadn't left.
It was already late at night, but the moon was high in the sky tonight, and the moonlight bathed the ground, so the situation outside the Stone House could still be seen fairly clearly.
Shi Hua went to the door to look every little while, her whole being anxious to the extreme.
Bai Wanwan tried to persuade her several times but couldn't get her to relax.
"Sister, it's bad." Shi Hua turned back to look at her with a face full of terror.
Bai Wanwan was coaxing The Cubs to sleep. Hearing Shi Hua's voice, she asked as calmly as possible, "What's wrong?"
"The Eagle Beasts that were surrounding the Tribe leader and the others have scattered, and some of them are heading this way."
Bai Wanwan quickly stood up from the Stone Stool and walked to the door to look outside.
Nearly ten Eagle Beast corpses were already piled at the feet of Xin Feng and Mu Feng, and there were still seven in the sky attacking them.
And in the distance, more Eagle Beasts were flying rapidly in their direction...
