Zhu Xiu had only been entangled with Yin Da for a moment, and Bai Wanwan had already been stolen. In a fit of rage, he swiped away the nearby Male, then turned to chase after Bai Wanwan.

Taking advantage of Zhu Xiu's distraction, Yin Da leaped into the air, his sharp claws thrusting toward Zhu Xiu...

Xin Feng caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of his eye, but he was entangled by several Wandering Beastmen and could not break away to assist, so he could only shout a warning: "Zhu Xiu, watch out!"

His voice caused Zhu Xiu to turn around quickly, opening his mouth to bite at Yin Da.

Zhu Xiu's fangs were extremely venomous; even Yin Da could not withstand them head-on, so he had to retreat first.

At the same time, he commanded the remaining Wandering Beasts, "Go and ambush him from behind."

Zhu Xiu was blocked tightly by the Wandering Beastmen, missing the first opportunity to chase after them and snatch Bai Wanwan back.

He watched helplessly as Bai Wanwan was carried away in the beast's mouth, her figure growing smaller and smaller...

When Xin Feng forced back a few Wandering Beasts and turned around, he saw that Zhu Xiu was shrouded in a black aura.

Caught off guard, he was almost bitten by a rushing beast. After narrowly dodging, he shouted at Zhu Xiu: "Zhu Xiu, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Zhu Xiu could no longer hear Xin Feng's words. His pupils had turned into two vertical slits—deep, black slits that exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

Yin Da sensed that something was wrong and was about to warn his subordinates.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiu's massive body rapidly approached one of the Wandering Beasts. The opponent could not react at all and was bitten directly by Zhu Xiu.

Potent venom was injected into the Wandering Beast's neck, and almost instantly, the beast's body turned pitch black and fell stiffly onto the Snowy Ground.

Before the others could react, Zhu Xiu had already swiftly approached the next one.

In the span of a few breaths, three or four Wandering Beasts had already fallen.

Yin Da was shocked; the strength Zhu Xiu was displaying was completely above his own. If this continued, all the Wandering Beastmen he had brought would perish under his jaws.

"Scatter first..."

His warning came too late. Zhu Xiu moved among the Wandering Beasts like a god of slaughter; wherever he passed, the Wandering Beasts had no power to resist and all died from the poison.

After killing more than a dozen Wandering Beasts, the black aura on Zhu Xiu had become incredibly dense, to the point where Zhu Xiu, wrapped in the black mist, was almost invisible.

Xin Feng stood far away, watching the dense pile of Wandering Beast corpses on the ground with mixed feelings.

The only survivor, the master of Wandering Beast City, Yin Da, was locked onto by Zhu Xiu.

Seeing the black mist float before him, Yin Da pushed his Innate Ability to its limit.

"Zhu Xiu, you have killed so many of my subordinates and ruined my years of hard work. Today, only one of us can live! Roar!"

Yin Da let out a roar and bit toward the black mist with his massive head...

Bai Wanwan was carried in Qiu Rong's mouth. She held the Basket tightly, terrified of losing the Cubs again.

She was jolted until she felt dizzy and disoriented. "Qiu Rong, where are you taking me?"

"To see the Tiger Cub."

Her Little Tiger Cubs were still alive... Of course, Bai Wanwan wanted to see them, but right now, Xin Feng and Zhu Xiu were still surrounded by Wandering Beasts.

She looked up at the Male above her. His strength should not be weaker than Xin Feng's. If she had his help, perhaps the tide of battle could be turned, and they might even defeat those Wandering Beastmen.

"Qiu Rong, can you help Xin Feng and Zhu Xiu?"

In truth, she knew clearly that if Qiu Rong had been willing, he would have acted just now instead of taking her away directly.

But she could not watch Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng die helplessly. She still wanted to struggle a little—what if? What if she could convince Qiu Rong to help?

Qiu Rong's speed did not slow down in the slightest. His tiger eyes were half-lowered, staring at Bai Wanwan below. "I saved you because you are the Mother of my Cubs; they have nothing to do with me... I will not take risks for unrelated beastmen."

This was true; if it were her, she would also find it difficult to risk her life to save unrelated people.

But people are also selfish. Xin Feng and Zhu Xiu had already become her Beast Husbands, and she did not want them to be harmed.

She had to do her utmost to save them.

"Qiu Rong, I heard from some beastmen in the Cat Clan Tribe that you were rescued by the Cat Clan Tribe after being severely injured. Your Talent is powerful, so your background must be quite extraordinary, right?"

Back then, she would wander around all day. Besides looking for fun out of boredom, it was also to better understand this world.

Because she had that encounter with Qiu Rong right after she transmigrated, she usually pricked up her ears whenever other beastmen mentioned Qiu Rong, then feigned curiosity in a calm manner.

And so, she had gathered quite a bit of information about Qiu Rong.

From the pieced-together information, Qiu Rong's background should be extraordinary.

Qiu Rong did not deny it. "What are you trying to say?"

"When you were so severely injured back then, was it because other beastmen intentionally harmed you?"

Although Qiu Rong did not make a sound, he was very surprised inside that Bai Wanwan had actually managed to guess so much...

"Are your enemies very powerful? Are you looking for an opportunity to take revenge?"

Bai Wanwan said this while looking up to see his reaction, but his massive tiger head showed absolutely no change in expression.

So, did she guess right or wrong?

Forget it!

She bit the bullet and said: "Help me this one time. If Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng can both survive, we can help you in the future."

This bargaining chip should be enough, right?

Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng were powerful, no weaker than Qiu Rong. With their help, no matter what he was doing, the chances of success would be greatly increased.

But after she finished speaking, Qiu Rong's speed did not slow down at all.

"Qiu Rong, did you hear what I just said?"

"I heard it. I took you away, so they have no distractions and won't die."

They won't die, but they will get hurt!

Afterward, no matter how Bai Wanwan pleaded, talking until her lips were dry, Qiu Rong remained unmoved.

She was jolted until she felt dizzy and disoriented. She did not know how long they had traveled before a cluster of Tribes appeared ahead.

Because of the Snow Season, apart from a few Males guarding the entrance, beastmen could not be seen anywhere.

When Qiu Rong carried Bai Wanwan to the entrance of the Tribe, he was not obstructed and smoothly entered the Tribe.

Bai Wanwan withdrew her gaze and looked up at him. "Is this the Tribe you grew up in?"

"No."

"Then why did they let you in?"

"I saved a Male from their Tribe."

After understanding this, Bai Wanwan looked around at the clusters of houses.

This Tribe was clearly larger than the Cat Clan Tribe; the places where beastmen lived in the Cat Clan Tribe were mostly caves and earthen houses.

But in this Tribe, there were Stone Houses everywhere, and the roads were wider.

Qiu Rong carried her a few hundred meters into the Tribe before stopping.

In an instant, the white tiger turned into a tall and handsome Male, wrapped in a layer of beast skin, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist—very good-looking.

He glanced at Bai Wanwan, stepped forward, and knocked on the door of the Stone House.

A Female's voice quickly came from inside, "Coming."

Then, after some movement inside the house, the door creaked open, revealing the face of an elderly Female.

"Aunt Lu, is the Tiger Cub alright?"

The elderly Female's gaze passed over him to look at the petite and beautiful Female beside him, and her eyes immediately lit up.
