221: Chapter 221 No! Is this illegal team formation?

Just as the Cow Mother and Daughter were in deepest despair, An Ke's voice rang out.

Though the voice was clear and crisp, lacking the marks of many years—a pure, youthful sound.

But when An Ke's voice reached the ears of the Cow Mother and Daughter,

a beam of sunlight immediately pierced the darkness that had shrouded their world.

The sunlight broke through the thick black clouds, shining brightly upon the land.

Then, An Ke, riding Ah Giao, emerged from behind the slope, appearing at the crest of the small hill.

The sunlight happened to shine directly upon him, even enveloping him in a layer of golden light.

In the eyes of the Cow Mother and Daughter, he looked so sacred, just like a savior.

Soon, Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom arrived at An Ke's side.

Followed by Little Scar's Monkey troop.

Three Hairs climbed up onto An Ke's shoulder from behind.

Overhead, Jingang flapped its wings and landed on An Ke's other shoulder.

Old Crocodile, Sister-in-law Crocodile, and the giant python also appeared one after another.

Watching An Ke's group appear,

Dairy Cow Mom burst into tears.

Little Calf's heart was also filled with a sense of security, her inner grievances spilling onto her face.

She cried her eyes out.

All around, the Dairy Cows were stunned upon seeing An Ke's group appear.

Fear instantly washed over their faces.

"T-tigers, a-and Wild Leopards!?"

"A-and a panda too!!"

"Well, a panda is somewhat normal, since there's a Bamboo Forest nearby.

But, but can someone tell me, why are there crocodiles here?"

"The key point is, why are all these carnivorous beasts appearing together? They look like they're in cahoots."

"Are you kidding me!?"

"Patriarch, what should we do now?"

"..."

The Dairy Cows simply couldn't comprehend why a group of carnivorous animals of different species would be together.

All the cows turned their gaze towards their patriarch.

The head Bull, the Bull Patriarch, also had fear spreading across his face.

He seriously wondered if he had been overworking lately, leaving him drained, which was why he was seeing such hallucinations.

It was the first time so many different carnivorous animals had appeared simultaneously.

Seriously?! Illegal teaming right here?

"Damn!!! So many predators showing up.

What else can we do? Run, of course!"

The Head Bull Patriarch roared, giving the order at the same time:

"Leave the Cow Mother and Daughter here. Let them attract these predators and buy us time to escape."

Upon hearing this, the Dairy Cows all voiced their agreement.

"Great idea, Patriarch!"

"Since that mother and daughter refuse to return to the tribe with us, keeping them serves no purpose anyway."

"Exactly! Might as well leave them behind to make one last contribution to our tribe."

"Hahaha! Serves that mother and daughter right for being so shameless. They must be regretting it now!"

"Too bad! It's too late for regrets!"

"..."

The Dairy Cows all abandoned Dairy Cow Mom and her daughter, starting to flee at full speed.

Leaving the Cow Mother and Daughter behind to attract An Ke's group's attention and buy them time.

After running a certain distance, the Head Bull Patriarch felt safe.

So he ordered the herd, "Halt!"

"This distance should be enough for us to shake off those predators."

The herd of Dairy Cows all stopped.

Indeed! This distance was enough for them to continue fleeing if the predators gave chase.

The Head Bull Patriarch looked back at the Cow Mother and Daughter lying on the ground, grinning viciously as he spoke:

"I want to watch this mother and daughter get eaten.

That'll teach them to be ungrateful, to refuse to return to the tribe!!"

Around him, many other Dairy Cows also found this amusing.

Among them, the Bulls who had blocked Dairy Cow Mom laughed and chimed in:

"That mother and daughter must really regret not returning to the tribe now."

"Hey! And they kept talking about going back to some 'Benefactor.' Would their Benefactor come out to save them in this situation?"

"Tsk tsk! What a shame about that little heifer, though. Won't get to have a taste."

"..."

These Bulls didn't care at all about the Cow Mother and Daughter's impending death.

They were even spouting filthy remarks.

The words from the few female cows earlier weren't much better either.

They felt sacrificing the Cow Mother and Daughter was perfectly justified.

After all, as long as they themselves didn't die, that was the most joyful thing.

As the saying goes, better the friend dies than the poor Taoist.

At that moment, one Dairy Cow hesitantly spoke up:

"By the way, when that human came out earlier, he seemed to say something like 'daring to bully his Dairy Cows.'"

"Could it be that the Cow Mother and Daughter know them?"

"Could that human be the Benefactor the Cow Mother and Daughter mentioned?"

"..."

This cow's words caused an uproar of laughter among the other cows present.

"Are you saying a bunch of carnivores would not eat that mother and daughter and even help treat their injuries?"

"Hahaha! That's the funniest thing I've ever heard!"

"That's as ridiculous as us Dairy Cows seeing a grassland and not eating the grass."

"..."

Not a single cow believed that this group of predators was the Cow Mother and Daughter's Benefactor.

After all, in the eyes of predators, Dairy Cows were food.

How could they possibly let them go uneaten?

"Just watch, that mother and daughter will soon become this group's meal."

The Head Bull Patriarch sneered repeatedly.

He was eager to see the Cow Mother and Daughter die.

Who told them to refuse to return to the tribe earlier?

Such refusal was undoubtedly a challenge to the patriarch's authority, a desecration of the tribe's dignity.

Therefore, he wanted to watch the Cow Mother and Daughter die.

He wanted the other cows to watch the Cow Mother and Daughter die.

That way, no cow would dare challenge his authority in the future.

However, the next scene left the Head Bull Patriarch utterly bewildered.

He saw the two crocodiles and the giant python approach, but they did not attack the Cow Mother and Daughter.

Not only did they not attack, they even seemed to be apologizing to them.

"Apologizing?! What the heck?" The Head Bull Patriarch found it hard to believe.

He seriously wondered if he had misheard.

He couldn't help but turn to look at his tribesmates, seeking confirmation.

Cows have excellent hearing; they can hear movements clearly even a hundred meters away.

No! It should be said that herbivores in the wild often have highly developed hearing.

So they could faintly hear the conversation between the two crocodiles and the giant python.

"Oh dear! Sister Dairy Cow, Little Calf, are you both alright?"

Sister-in-law Crocodile said with a worried expression.

Old Crocodile was clearly angry. "The world is cold indeed!

I, Old Croc, was only gone for a short while, and I never expected you, Dairy Cow Mom, and your daughter to suffer such humiliation."

Aman also wore an expression of apology and anger.

"Here, Dairy Cow Mom, let me help you up."

As he spoke, the giant python coiled its thick tail around Dairy Cow Mom.

Then it helped her up from the ground.

It even thoughtfully used the tip of its tail to brush the dust off Dairy Cow Mom's body.

A hundred meters away, the entire Dairy Cow tribe was dumbfounded.

"T-this... this... is this reasonable?"

"These carnivores not only went over to apologize, but they also helped the cow on the ground up?!"

"Are you kidding me??"

"Why is this happening?"

"Shouldn't they just eat that mother and daughter without a second thought?"

"Could it be..."
