Chapter 395: You Know Me?

The Snake Clan Patriarch's expression changed abruptly.

Most of their clan were non-venomous ordinary Snake Beasts, and they simply couldn't contend with powerful Tribes.

Since he became the Patriarch, he had strictly forbidden anyone from going out to snatch Females.

He was worried that one day they would face such a situation.

"Patriarch, you'd better go back and check for yourself before answering. If we find out you are intentionally shielding someone and have harmed that Female, then... we won't show you any mercy."

Zhu Xiu didn't raise his voice, but his aura naturally carried a hint of sinister ruthlessness.

The Snake Clan Patriarch felt panicked; at this moment, he even became a bit uncertain.

"Alright, I'll go search personally right away. If such a thing really happened, I'll hand over both the Female and the Male who took her to you. I hope you can spare the other beastmen in our Tribe."

"If the other beastmen in your Tribe haven't harmed her, then fine."

"Good, good."

As the Patriarch was about to turn and leave, Kong Lai quickly caught up. "I want to watch you search personally."

The Patriarch had no choice but to let Kong Lai follow him into the Tribe to search for the Female's whereabouts.

After the Snake Clan Patriarch left, Bai Wanwan patted Zhu Xiu's long tail. "Put me down."

After being placed steadily on the ground, she paced back and forth.

"Don't worry. Females are precious; she must still be alive and well."

Bai Wanwan also knew that Yin Mei's life probably wasn't in danger, but she might have been forced into mating by another Male.

"If Sister Yin Mei isn't here, how will we find her?"

Zhu Xiu's eyes flickered. "We can find her, but it will take some time and effort."

Yan Lie walked to her side, raising his hand to smooth the frown on her forehead. Without saying a word, he silently held her hand to offer comfort.

After waiting for a long time, the Patriarch and Kong Lai came out together.

The Patriarch's face was visibly much more relaxed. "He just searched personally. He checked every nook and cranny of our Tribe, and the Female you're looking for isn't there. As I said, the Males of our Tribe don't go out to snatch Females. Now you can rest easy."

"You'd better not be lying to us!" Yan Lie stared at the Patriarch, still not fully convinced.

The Patriarch nodded repeatedly. "I'm really not lying to you. However... I just remembered something."

"What is it?" Bai Wanwan pressed.

"A while ago, when the Snake Beastmen of our clan went into the mountains to hunt, they kept seeing traces of a large snake passing by. Judging by the crushed trees, that snake's Beast Form is probably only slightly smaller than yours," the Patriarch said to Zhu Xiu.

"Are you saying there's an outsider Snake Beast nearby, and the Female might have been taken by him?"

"I'm not sure if she was taken by him. I'm just telling you there's such a Snake Beast. Since you lost a Female and it was done by a Snake Beast, you can go after it and see if it was the culprit."

As soon as the Patriarch finished speaking, Kong Lai couldn't restrain himself and was the first to turn and search the nearby mountains for the Snake Beast's tracks.

From the Patriarch's description, he also suspected that Snake Beast; its Beast Form was indeed only slightly smaller than a King Cobra's.

In a Cave deep in the mountains, a Cobra that had been sleeping with its head tucked away suddenly opened its eyes.

In a corner of the Cave, a petite Female was curled up.

It hissed at her impatiently. "If you don't agree to mating with me, I'll have to bite your neck and snap it!"

It stared at the Female with a sinister, threatening gaze.

Yin Mei shook her head. "No, I won't accept. I have a Beast Husband. Let me go immediately."

"Let you go?" The Cobra chuckled. "Didn't you hear what I just said? There's only one way you're leaving this place, and that's after I snap your neck and toss you out."

The Cobra Beast's patience was wearing thin. The reason he hadn't forced the Female was that he wanted to have a Pairing Ceremony with her so she could bear his offspring in the future.

But her constant resistance and disdain for him had exhausted what little patience he had left.

Since she didn't want to be his Female, there was no need for him to cherish her; he would just proceed with mating.

He slowly slithered to the Female's side, wrapped his snake tail around her body, and lifted her up.

His tail slid into her beast skin skirt...

The Female struggled hard. "Let me go! If you hurt me, my Beast Husband and my brother will never let you get away with it!"

"Fine, then let them come find me."

As a Wandering Beast, the Snake Beastman had very strong survival skills in the wild.

He didn't fear powerful Males of other species. First of all... they had to find him.

But at the most critical moment, the Cobra's body suddenly froze.

He caught a scent that made his heart tremble with fear.

It was a reverence for the King Cobra carved deep into his soul!

There was a King Cobra nearby!

He quickly coiled around the Female and dashed out of the Cave.

His snake tongue flicked out, and his massive head turned in all directions.

That scent was becoming increasingly obvious.

Not daring to stay any longer, he coiled around the Female and vanished into the forest.

Yin Mei also noticed that the Male seemed a bit off, as if he were fleeing for his life.

"What are you afraid of? Why don't you put me down? It would be more convenient for you to leave alone."

Yin Mei's kind reminder only earned a roar from the Snake Beastman. "Shut up! If you don't want me to bite you to death, then keep your mouth shut."

Until the last possible moment, he didn't want to give up this beautiful Female.

He could feel Zhu Xiu's presence; it was the bloodline suppression of a King Cobra over him.

But it wasn't difficult for a King Cobra to find a Cobra.

Through Kong Lai's words, he already knew that the one who snatched Yin Mei was a snake slightly smaller than himself.

Flicking out his snake tongue, Zhu Xiu carefully sensed the scents of snakes in the vicinity.

"This way."

They soon crossed a mountain peak and arrived at the Cave where Yin Mei had stayed.

"Yin Mei's scent is here."

Moreover, the scent in the Cave was very strong, indicating they had stayed there for quite some time.

"That Snake Beast sensed my presence and left early."

He was a King Cobra; other snakes would instinctively feel fear toward him.

As soon as he approached, they would know in advance.

A peacock's sense of smell isn't keen enough, but Yan Lie was a leopard. He quickly locked onto the direction through the scent. "Kong Lai, they left from this direction. After them!"

Bai Wanwan was still coiled on Zhu Xiu's back. The beastmen began to run at full speed, following the scent left by the Cobra.

Finally, by a Waterfall, they spotted the Cobra's trail.

He was trying to jump down while coiling around the Female.

"Stop!" Kong Lai roared, immediately flapping his wings and flying toward the Cobra.

The Cobra sensed the movement and looked back.

The moment he saw Zhu Xiu, his body visibly froze.

"Even if you jump, we can still catch you, so I suggest you don't waste your effort," Zhu Xiu warned coldly.

The Cobra Beastman stared at him blankly. "You... you're Zhu Xiu? The Mutated Serpent Beast who devoured his own brother, right?"

Zhu Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "You know me?"
