142: Chapter 142 We must calm down

Shi Hua's fingers dug deeply into Bai Wanwan's arm. Although she remained silent, her trembling fingertips betrayed the fear inside her heart.

Bai Wanwan's heart leaped into her throat.

Although Xin Feng possessed extraordinary Talent, facing an encirclement by over twenty ferocious Eagle Beasts, even the strongest power could not withstand attrition from relentless waves of attack.

She quickly opened the System Panel, her fingertips sliding rapidly across the light screen:

One, Daily Necessities; Two, Food; Three, Medicine; Four, Furniture; Five, Home Decor; Six, Clothing; Seven, Beauty; Eight, Building Materials...

Eight options, yet not a single one could solve her immediate crisis.

"peanut, peanut."

"There are over twenty Eagle Beasts attacking outside. Do you have any way to deal with them?"

"I apologize, Host, I am powerless. I suggest you protect yourself."

Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth. "If I die now, who will help you complete tasks and earn points in the future?"

The System let out a humanized sigh. "Host, I am just a System; I truly cannot help you. If you had listened to my advice back then to take in a few more Beast Husbands and give birth to more Cubs, you would have unlocked the Weapon option long ago, and dealing with these Eagle Beasts would be effortless."

What was the use of saying that now?

Forget it...

The battle outside grew fiercer, and she forced herself to calm down.

There was medicine in the System that could treat Mu Feng's injuries, but if Mu Feng retreated now, Xin Feng would fall into an even more dangerous situation.

The situation grew increasingly grim as time slipped away.

Nearly twenty Eagle Beasts attacked madly. Xin Feng could no longer attack and could only use all his strength to stand at the Stone House entrance, resisting while simultaneously protecting Mu Feng.

Suddenly, three Eagle Beasts changed direction, their sharp beaks aiming directly for Mu Feng!

"Be careful!" Shi Hua shrieked.

Mu Feng slapped one away, but his forelimb was pecked until it was bloody and mangled. Blood dripped down his fur, emitting an eerie sheen under the moonlight.

"Mu Feng, go inside first, let Wan Wan treat your injuries."

Since Wan Wan could heal him, she could certainly heal Mu Feng's injuries too.

To protect Wan Wan and The Cubs, he needed Mu Feng's assistance from the side.

Risking great danger, he endured the Eagle Beasts' attacks to escort Mu Feng to the Stone House entrance.

Mu Feng endured the pain, forced back two Eagle Beasts with one claw, then quickly turned to look at him. "If I go inside, it will be much harder for you."

"I can hold on a little longer. Go in."

Shi Hua and Bai Wanwan had already heard their voices. As the two approached, the door opened.

"Xin Feng, protect yourself well."

"Mm."

His gaze was firm, and he quickly closed the door.

He would fight with his life to kill all these Eagle Beasts and prevent them from harming Wan Wan and The Cubs.

Mu Feng was too large; neither Bai Wanwan nor Shi Hua could lift him, so they could only help him lie down slowly.

At this moment, Mu Feng was still in his beast form, his entire body seeming soaked in blood, the wounds deep enough to see the bone.

Shi Hua's tears streamed down uncontrollably. "Mu Feng, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, don't be afraid."

Mu Feng forced himself to comfort her, but his voice was so weak it was almost inaudible.

If this were a human, they would have bled out long ago.

The physical constitution of Beastmen was formidable; he could still fight despite such severe injuries.

While Shi Hua and Mu Feng were talking, Bai Wanwan clicked open the System Panel.

Seeing the balance left—just over twenty thousand—she sighed and clicked on the Medicine category.

The cheapest medicines upfront were only a few dozen points.

But specialized medicines that had an immediate effect usually cost several thousand points.

Mu Feng's condition wasn't life-threatening; if the situation weren't so urgent, a Healing Ointment costing a few hundred points would suffice.

But now he needed specialized Healing Ointment; one tube cost two thousand points.

If Mu Feng recovered, he could share some of Xin Feng's pressure.

These points had to be spent. Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth and clicked the redeem button.

Clutching the ointment that appeared in her hand, Bai Wanwan quickly walked to Shi Hua's side and handed the ointment to her. "Shi Hua, apply this to Mu Feng."

Shi Hua had been somewhat lost, but upon hearing Bai Wanwan's words, she quickly took the ointment and applied it to Mu Feng.

In less than two minutes, the bleeding stopped.

Mu Feng's mental state also recovered significantly.

Once he felt less discomfort, Mu Feng stood up directly, only to be stopped by Shi Hua. "You are injured, don't move around randomly."

"I'm much better now. I must go out and help."

Mu Feng clearly understood that if Xin Feng couldn't hold on, not only he, but the Females and Cubs inside the house would also lose their lives.

Hearing Mu Feng's words, Shi Hua reluctantly let go. "Be careful."

"Don't worry."

After comforting Shi Hua, he said to Bai Wanwan, "Thank you. If Shi Hua and I survive today, my life belongs to you from now on."

"Your life belongs to you. I helped you not only because of Shi Hua, but also because I want you to help my Beast Husband."

"Good, I will desperately protect him."

Mu Feng said and decisively pulled the door open to go out.

Mu Feng's recovered state lessened the pressure on Xin Feng.

The area outside the Stone House was already covered with the corpses of Eagle Beasts, and blood was everywhere.

Both Females were pregnant with Cubs. After standing for so long under extreme tension, Shi Hua was starting to feel unwell.

She leaned against the door, forcing herself to hold on.

Bai Wanwan noticed the change in her complexion and immediately reached out to support her. "Go sit inside for a while. Trust them; they will be fine."

Shi Hua took a deep breath to alleviate the discomfort in her abdomen. "Okay."

Bai Wanwan decided that no matter what, she would outlast those Eagle Beasts today.

She hadn't even been willing to buy snacks, yet today these Eagle Beasts had cost her two thousand points.

Spending two thousand points was spending points; spending a few thousand more was still spending points. In short, these Eagle Beasts had to die today!

After Bai Wanwan helped her sit down, Shi Hua spoke, "Sister, I'm fine, don't worry about me. You are also pregnant with a Cub; are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

Her own stomach was starting to ache faintly; Sister Wanwan surely couldn't be much better.

"I'm fine. If you really feel uncomfortable, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and repeat a few times."

Shi Hua immediately followed her instructions, breathing in and out slowly.

After doing this a few times, Shi Hua suddenly stopped moving. "Sister, did you hear something?"

Bai Wanwan listened carefully, and as she listened, she slowly raised her head.

Thud, thud, thud...

The sound grew louder. Bai Wanwan quickly pulled Shi Hua up. "Get up quickly!"

Saying that, she ran to the sofa, intending to lift The Cubs' nest directly.

However, The Cubs were too heavy; despite her exertion, the nest didn't budge an inch.

At that moment, a large hole was pecked through the roof directly above them.

A sharp bird beak pierced through, but the body was too large, getting stuck there.

Bai Wanwan forced herself to remain calm.

If they rushed out the main door now, Xin Feng and Mu Feng would have difficulty coping and absolutely could not protect them and the few Cubs; going out would be suicide.

Staying inside offered a sliver of hope.

"Shi Hua, quickly, smash it with something!"

For now, any delay was a delay. At least the Stone House only had one hole broken; the Eagle Beasts could not fully drill in.

Bai Wanwan ran to the kitchen, grabbed the stone knife, and ran back.

She stepped onto the Stone Bed, putting her less than a meter away from the Eagle Beast.

Shi Hua was terrified. "Sister, it's dangerous, come back quickly!"
