52: Chapter 52 I'll Go with You

The massive King Cobra suddenly transformed into a tall, handsome Male as it slithered along.

Roger's heart sank to the bottom.

In Wandering Beast City, the strongest person wasn't the City Lord, but the Second Leader before him, whose emotions never showed on his face.

His appearance didn't resemble Wandering Beasts at all; such a powerful individual would be welcomed by any Super Tribe.

Yet, he chose to stay in Wandering Beast City.

He merely gave Roger a faint glance before stepping toward the cave.

The pressure from that single look felt like a massive mountain weighing down on Roger's back.

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat covered his spine.

But he still steeled himself and blocked the other's path.

"If you spare my life, I can lead you to the Sacred Female. I know the general direction."

As he spoke, his hanging hands clenched into fists.

Even if they found the Sacred Female, the Wandering Beastmen wouldn't let him off. Since that was the case, he might as well take a gamble; perhaps he could protect that Little Female.

If he wasn't afraid of the other person sensing his emotions, he would have started mocking himself for actually risking his life for a Female one day.

His path blocked, Zhu Xiu's gaze fell upon the Male in his way, a faint red light glinting in his pitch-black vertical pupils.

With just one look, Roger felt an infinite sense of oppression, as if he had been seen through instantly.

"Lead me there?"

Roger nodded, bracing himself. "If you come with me now, you might still find her."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was struck by an invisible force and sent flying, slamming heavily onto the ground.

Pfft...

Bright red blood splattered onto the Snowy Ground, striking and eerie.

He quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned to look, only to see Zhu Xiu stepping into the cave entrance.

Roger's face turned pale, but he was powerless to stop him.

Bai Wanwan had heard everything outside clearly.

She knew this crisis was unavoidable, so she held The Cubs and quickly racked her brain for a solution.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on the back of her neck, as if she were being watched by a predator.

Instinctively turning her head, she met a pair of eyes that were black with a hint of red.

Bai Wanwan's heart tightened. When did this Male come in? She hadn't heard a single sound.

She took a deep breath, trying her best to stay calm.

The other party said nothing, seemingly sizing her up.

Bai Wanwan was filled with surprise; the beastman before her was exceptionally handsome, his looks not inferior to Qiu Rong or Xin Feng.

Weren't Wandering Beasts all supposed to be extremely ugly?

Their gazes collided; those black-and-red eyes gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Sacred Female?"

The man spoke, his voice carrying a hint of playfulness and inquiry.

Bai Wanwan thought for a moment before finally nodding. "Yes, I am."

These were Wandering Beasts; unlike other Males who revered Females, in their eyes, Females had no status to speak of.

If she were just an ordinary Female, her fate would likely be even worse.

At this moment, she felt slightly fortunate to be the Sacred Female.

Zhu Xiu had expected her to scream in panic like other Females or deny her identity.

He saw the hesitation in her eyes, but it lasted only a brief moment before she admitted it.

His gaze swept over Bai Wanwan's face. "Come out on your own, or do you want me to do it?"

Bai Wanwan had already formed an initial impression of him.

She very sensibly stood up while holding the Basket. "Don't bother, I'll walk myself."

"Mhm."

Zhu Xiu nodded and took the lead, turning to walk out of the cave.

Bai Wanwan followed closely behind. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Roger lying on the ground nearby.

He seemed badly injured; seeing her come out, he struggled to crawl up.

But it seemed to be very painful; he sucked in a breath, his features contorting in a grimace.

Zhu Xiu pointed at him and ordered the nearby Wandering Beasts, "Finish him."

Having said that, he continued walking forward.

The Wandering Beasts shouted and moved forward, about to strike Roger.

Bai Wanwan took a few steps and blocked the Wandering Beast.

"I'll go with you. Let him go."

Roger had already anticipated his end and didn't expect to survive.

Bai Wanwan's words stunned him. Enduring the pain, he opened his eyes and slowly looked up to see the back of the Little Female standing so close to him.

He hadn't expected her to plead for him; he thought she hated him to death.

Bai Wanwan indeed didn't like Roger.

But thinking carefully, that night when Xin Feng hadn't returned yet, if it hadn't been for him appearing in time, she and The Cubs would have already ended up in the bellies of wild beasts.

These past few days, he had also been leading her to avoid the Wandering Beasts, but they just weren't lucky enough, and his entire Caravan had been lost.

Of course, her premise for doing this was that it wouldn't jeopardize her own safety.

If Zhu Xiu refused and insisted on killing him, then she would be powerless to help.

The Wandering Beastman looked at Bai Wanwan with disgust; if it were any other Female, he would have already swiped at her with a claw.

But he remembered that the Female before him was the Sacred Female and couldn't be killed carelessly.

So, he turned to look at the Second Leader.

Zhu Xiu heard Bai Wanwan's words but didn't reply immediately.

He slowly turned his head. "Is he your Beast Husband?"

"No."

"Then why do you want to save him?" Zhu Xiu's voice betrayed no emotion.

"He saved me. If you agree, I won't cause you any trouble along the way. What do you think?"

Without enough strength to resist, it was pointless to make a scene; it was better to lie low for now and see if an opportunity arose.

"Bai Wanwan..."

Roger raised a hand, wanting to touch her. "I don't want your help."

Bai Wanwan ignored him and just stared at Zhu Xiu.

The atmosphere remained at a standstill. Bai Wanwan thought to herself that if he didn't agree, then so be it.

Roger... if he died, he died.

"Come here," Zhu Xiu said to her.

Bai Wanwan was confused and hesitated whether to go over.

"Fine. I'll spare his life. You come with us."

Bai Wanwan was a bit surprised. Since the deal was made, she should fulfill her promise.

"Bai Wanwan, don't go with them. Wandering Beast City..."

Before he could finish, he began coughing again, splattering more blood.

Bai Wanwan glanced back. A while ago, Roger was still incredibly powerful in the eyes of the Cat Beastmen, but now he had become like this upon meeting the Wandering Beastmen.

This made her directly feel the cruelty of the Beast World Continent—survival of the fittest.

"Do I have a choice? Roger, hold onto your life; don't let my efforts go to waste."

After saying that, she stepped forward to follow Zhu Xiu.

The other Wandering Beastmen snorted through their nostrils, somewhat indignant about letting Roger go.

But due to Zhu Xiu's status, they ultimately spared Roger and followed the Main Group.

While Bai Wanwan was following behind Zhu Xiu, the tall Male suddenly transformed before her eyes into a coiled King Cobra as large as a house.

Bai Wanwan was so startled she retreated several steps.

Oh my god! This was exactly what she feared the most.

And it was an oversized version to boot.

She even had to tilt her head back to see his head.

The King Cobra tilted its head slightly, its scarlet eyes looking at her coldly. "Get on."
