nThe giant beasts only went after the smell and didn’t bother with the leopard on the tree.

nMoore tried his best to fly at a high altitude, and it was only when it was so high that Bai Qingqing expressed discomfort that he started to shift.

nStaring up at the skies, Parker watched dazedly as the black dot became smaller and smaller until it finally completely vanished.

nHe should have followed them.

nAlthough Parker couldn’t see them, Moore’s razor-sharp eagle eyes could clearly view everything below. He tried flying in a direction for a while and, seeing that the horde of giant beasts wasn’t coming after them anymore, knew that this method was working.

nBai Qingqing felt terrible flying at a high altitude. Perhaps it was due to altitude sickness, bringing about the shortness of breath in her. What made her feel most terrible was the painful sensation in her ears—she felt like her ear canals were being blocked by water.

n“I feel awful…” Bai Qingqing said feebly as she laid on Moore’s back, the painful sensation in her chest where the wound was feeling more apparent now.

nShe covered her chest with her hands and suddenly felt a warm and moist sensation.

nThe wound had ruptured!

n“No… I can’t take it anymore.” Bai Qingqing gasped for air, feeling like no matter how much air she sucked in it wasn’t enough for her oxygen-deficient body.

nAlthough Moore’s sense of smell wasn’t as powerful as the leopard tribe, he was still able to detect the bloody smell near to him. He very quickly smelled the blood and, having turned around to glance at Bai Qingqing, quickly slanted his body and flew downwards.

nThe ringing in her ears and the stuffiness in her chest gradually weakened, but the pain in her chest had yet to go away.

nMoore landed on top of a large tree and set Bai Qingqing down. He transformed into a human and asked anxiously, “Why are you bleeding?”

n“Cortis bit me.” Bai Qingqing smiled bitterly. Moore likely didn’t expect that Cortis had never forced himself upon her, and it was only until they had no choice but to part that he became mates with her.

nMoore gripped the tree branch he was holding forcefully, snapping it in an instant. “Animal!”

nBai Qingqing eased her breathing and said, “Don’t tell Parker.”

nMoore was speechless.

nThe forest where the horde of giant beasts were at started shaking. The beasts were in a state of uproar; it appeared that they were moving forward.

nMoore said, “They’ve detected your smell. Let’s hurry up and leave.”

nBai Qingqing nodded, her expression resolute. “Fly us up again. If I can’t take it, I’ll ask you to stop.”

nMoore gazed at Bai Qingqing with a pained expression for a moment, then said, “Don’t push yourself.”

nThis time, Moore didn’t fly too high, planning to shake them off their trail using speed.

nSeeing the giant beasts move away, Parker knew it was a bad sign. He quickly chased together with them.

n“Screech—”

n“Screech—”

nThe screeching of eagles could be heard from the front. Lying face-down on Moore’s back, Bai Qingqing looked to the front and saw a convocation of black eagles.

n“Moore, they look like your kind.”

nMoore also stared forward and saw a strong and masculine leopard standing on the eagle beastman leading the convocation.

nHas the leopard king finally come?

nAs if sensing Moore’s eyes on him, the leopard king raised his neck and howled majestically. “Roar—”

nAt the sight of the convocation of eagles, Parker felt invigorated. He climbed to the top of a tree in a matter of moments and, raising his head, howled maniacally like a dog. “Roar roar roar roar roar!”

nThe leopard king transformed into a human and instructed the eagle beastmen. “Send someone to pick up Parker.”

n“Screech!” An eagle beastman flew towards Parker immediately.

nAfter he finished speaking, the leopard king’s light golden eyes fixed on the muddy Bai Qingqing.

nHis facial features bore a 60-70% resemblance to Parker’s, and he had four animal stripes just like Cortis. However, his animal stripes were golden in color. Although he appeared rather young, there was a mature and steady aura about him, exuding the authority of someone in power.

n“Hello.” Bai Qingqing nervously greeted him, thinking to herself that this person must be Parker’s relative.

nThe leopard king said, “It’s great that you’re fine. Let’s return to the city.”

nOnce the eagles had fully gathered, the leopard king sent one eagle beastman back to the cliff to use the lock of hair Bai Qingqing left behind to attract the giant beasts, while the rest of them flew back to the City of Beastmen with a peace of mind.
