45: Chapter 45 She is indeed the Holy Mother

"Don't look, it will scare you!"

Xin Feng covered her eyes, worried that the Wandering Beasts would frighten her.

Bai Wanwan reached out to pull his hand away and continued looking back. "Are the deformities on their bodies natural?"

The Wandering Beasts' statures were burly to the point of lacking any aesthetic appeal; their bodies seemed deformed in various places, like malformed children.

"It's not natural. Many of them are Males born in major Tribes who were exiled for committing crimes or abandoned by their own Females. Having nowhere to go, they sought refuge in Wandering Beast City..."

Xin Feng noticed some Wandering Beasts paying attention to them and quickened his pace. As he walked, he continued, "To domesticate them and make them stop longing for tribal life, the City Lord of Wandering Beast City made them look hideous. This way, other beastmen would know they are Wandering Beasts at a glance and stay away from them."

Just as Xin Feng finished speaking, Hu Ya and her Beast Husbands rushed out of the cave.

Seeing them, Hu Ya completely ignored Bai Wanwan and shouted happily to Xin Feng, "Xin Feng, wait for me! Let's go together."

Xin Feng ignored her and walked even faster.

The Snowy Ground was difficult to traverse, so Xin Feng simply transformed into a Silver Wolf. "Wan Wan, hold The Cubs and sit on my back. I can carry you and move faster."

"Okay."

This was her first time seeing Xin Feng's beast form. His silver-white fur and body were much larger than an average wolf's. At least by modern standards, his size was comparable to a leopard, perhaps even slightly larger.

She grabbed Xin Feng's fur and struggled to climb up.

"I'm on. Xin Feng, let's go."

The Silver Wolf stood up from the ground, looking majestic. His sturdy limbs moved as he nimbly traversed the Snowy Ground.

Bai Wanwan held The Cubs and hunched her shoulders; it was simply too cold!

Many beastmen from the Cat Clan Tribe were also forced to run in this direction.

As they ran, they cried out for help, "Help!"

But those Wandering Beastmen were ruthless. Whenever they encountered a Male, they would kill him with a single swipe of their claws, leaving no survivors, and then pile the bodies together.

Bai Wanwan turned her head to look and happened to see a Wandering Beastman rip off the leg of a Male from the Cat Clan Tribe and start gnawing on it.

She was so nauseated that she almost threw up the Hot Pot she had just eaten.

"There's a Silver Wolf over there running away with a Female! Chase them!"

The Wandering Beastmen all looked toward Bai Wanwan's direction.

"We've been spotted. Xin Feng, we have to hurry."

She didn't dare to think about what would happen if these savage Wandering Beastmen caught Xin Feng—would they eat him on the spot?

And herself... what kind of end would she meet?

Only now did she gradually realize that the Beast World Continent was far more dangerous and bloody than she had imagined.

"Hurry up and chase them!" Hu Ya urgently urged her Beast Husbands to catch up with Xin Feng.

But Xin Feng was too fast; in the blink of an eye, he had already run far away.

"Ya Ya, it's too late to catch him. We need to hurry and break out from the other side."

Seven or eight hideous Wandering Beasts nearby were surrounding them.

Hu Ya trembled with fear, cursing incessantly in her heart as she watched Bai Wanwan distance herself.

She only wanted the Wandering Beastmen to quietly take Bai Wanwan away; why were they slaughtering all the beastmen of the Cat Clan Tribe?

She hadn't wanted this. She never intended to harm the entire Tribe; she only wanted them to take Bai Wanwan away.

But now, Bai Wanwan had escaped, while the beastmen of the Cat Clan Tribe were either dead or injured...

Sitting on her Beast Husband's back, she suddenly pointed forward and screamed like a madwoman, "Go catch her! She is a Sacred Female! If you catch her, she can keep giving birth to Cubs for you Wandering Beasts!"

Hearing her words, a Minor Leader of the Wandering Beastmen in the distance quickly turned his head to look at the Silver Wolf.

That's a Sacred Female?

A Sacred Female would appear in such a small Tribe?

But regardless of whether she was or wasn't, no Female could be allowed to escape!

"Go, bring that Female back to me!"

Xin Feng's Talent had completely recovered. He was extremely fast, leaping past two Wandering Beasts trying to intercept them from the front.

"Wan Wan, hold on tight!"

Bai Wanwan was nearly thrown off. Her whole body tensed as she clung to Xin Feng's neck, burying her face in the fur on his back.

The wind whistled in her ears as the Wandering Beasts behind them shouted and gave chase...

Eventually, Bai Wanwan's hands were so cold they were losing sensation. She felt like she might lose her grip and be thrown off at any moment...

"Xin Feng, I can't hold on much longer. See if we've lost those Wandering Beasts yet?"

Xin Feng quickly slowed down. "We've lost them for now. The deep mountains aren't safe. I'll circle along the foot of the mountain and find a safe place to spend the night."

It was the Snow Season, and the temperature at night was even lower.

Females were fragile; freezing would be fatal.

"Okay, you know the situation out here better than I do. I'll follow your lead."

Xin Feng circled two mountains along the base when he suddenly stopped.

He looked around alertly.

Bai Wanwan noticed this and was about to ask him what was wrong when she heard a deafening tiger's roar.

Xin Feng raised his head and opened his mouth toward the forest ahead.

A powerful, intimidating wolf howl rang out.

After a moment of silence in the forest, the figure of a beast slowly appeared.

Crap!

It's actually a tiger!

Bai Wanwan's face turned pale. Only one thought remained in her mind: Can a wolf beat a tiger?

The Silver Wolf's fur stood on end. Without looking back, he stared straight at the tiger and said to Bai Wanwan, "Wan Wan, take The Cubs and get down first. Lean against the Cliff and don't move."

Bai Wanwan obediently slid down from his back, her legs feeling a bit weak.

"Xin Feng, that's a tiger. Can you win?"

If he couldn't win, Xin Feng, her, and The Cubs would all be tiger food.

"I am a beastman, and it's just an ordinary tiger. Don't be afraid!"

While he comforted her verbally, he was actually in a very difficult position.

If he encountered a tiger alone, he wouldn't be afraid at all. But if he were negligent and let the tiger find an opening to harm Wan Wan or The Cubs, what would be the point even if he killed the tiger in the end?

******

Roger led the Caravan for a day and a night before finally arriving at the Cat Clan Tribe.

"Captain, something's not right. Look."

Roger walked to the edge of the hill and looked down. The Cat Clan Tribe was littered with the corpses of beastmen.

"Wandering Beastmen attacked the Cat Clan."

Roger's expression instantly darkened.

He hadn't expected to be a step too late. Had that Male named Lu Yi lied to him?

Had he already leaked the news before telling him?

Damn it!

If Bai Wanwan fell into the hands of those Wandering Beastmen and was taken to Wandering Beast City, he wouldn't be able to rescue her even if he had god-like abilities.

He observed for a while; there were at least dozens of Wandering Beastmen in the Cat Clan Tribe.

If their Caravan went down to confront them head-on, they would have no chance of winning.

"Stand by!"

After Roger gave the order, he quickly transformed into his beast form and slipped into the forest.

The black wolf carefully approached the Cat Clan Tribe, step by step.

"Chief, I've questioned other beastmen in the Cat Clan Tribe. That Female named Bai Wanwan is indeed a Sacred Female."

Then came a raspy laugh. "Good! Excellent! Everyone, get out there and search. We must find the Sacred Female! As long as we find her and bring her back to Wandering Beast City, the City Lord will surely reward us handsomely!"

Hearing this, Roger quietly retreated.

So Bai Wanwan had already escaped. Thank goodness!

As long as he found Bai Wanwan before the Wandering Beastmen did, there was still a chance.
