Chapter 311: Danger

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Danger

The Snow Leopard dodged quickly, but after narrowly avoiding one attack, he was cornered by two other black bears.

The black bears’ eyes were wide with rage, a tempest brewing in their gaze that promised to tear him to shreds.

Yan Lie clutched the last packet of itching powder in his paw, his heart sinking.

’It’s over...’

The Bear Clan Beastmen bared their terrifying fangs and roared at him. "You despicable Alien Race Beastman! I’m going to tear you apart with my own hands!"

Yan Lie took a deep breath and decided to go for broke.

He ripped open the packet of itching powder and flung its contents at a cluster of three or four Beastmen. "Come on, I’m waiting! Let’s see if you can even get close enough to tear me apart, you blind oafs!"

ROAR!

After their furious roar, the charging black bears suddenly froze. They began to writhe their massive bodies, comically scratching and rubbing themselves all over.

Yan Lie swiftly dodged an attack from the left and broke into a wide grin. "You came so well-prepared to attack the Golden Lion Tribe, but you never expected to stumble here, did you? Itchy, is it? Let Mr. Leopard tell you something: go home and drink a lot of dung water. The itch will be gone in three days."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but marvel at his Wife’s brilliance. ’She’s incredible.’

Before this, the Bear Clan had held the absolute upper hand.

He glanced at the black bears rolling on the ground. The Golden Lion Tribe had finally managed to turn the tide.

Suddenly, his paw felt a little itchy, and he scratched it instinctively.

But that one scratch unleashed a maddening, burrowing itch. It was so intense he wanted to roll on the ground himself.

’I’m done for... Done for...’

He’d gotten the itching powder on himself.

There were still a few unaffected Bear Clan Beastmen, and if they joined forces to attack, Yan Lie would still be in grave danger.

But when they heard Yan Lie say that drinking dung water was the only cure, their hesitation bought Yan Lie a moment of safety.

The itching grew more and more intense. Gritting his teeth, Yan Lie forced himself to endure it and made a sudden break for the perimeter.

He had to get back to Wanwan and see if she had a way to stop the itch.

"He’s trying to escape! Stop him!"

The Bear Clan Beastmen, snapping out of their stupor, immediately moved to block his path.

The High Rank Males attacked simultaneously. The overwhelming itch slowed Yan Lie’s reactions by half a beat.

He dodged the attack from the left, but a heavy claw slammed down on his right shoulder. Unable to evade completely, his shoulder was torn open, and blood instantly soaked his fur.

Yan Lie swore, enduring the pain and the itch as he continued to fight his way out.

The High Rank Males formed a circle around him again, closing in step by step with murder in their eyes.

Yan Lie’s heart sank. The unbearable itch made it impossible for him to control his own body.

’Am I not going to make it back?’

Instinctively, his gaze went past them, searching for the figure standing at the tribe’s main gate.

’No! I can’t just give up. I have to get back to Wanwan.’

’I have to protect her forever, to raise our cubs with her.’

ROAR!

The Snow Leopard let out a furious roar, launched himself off his powerful legs, and shot to the side of one of the black bears, sinking his teeth in.

Blood sprayed through the air. Yan Lie could no longer distinguish between the pain and the itch ravaging his body.

All he knew was that he couldn’t die. ’I have to get back to Wanwan!’

"Die! Alien Race Beastman! This is what you get for meddling in the feud between the Golden Lion Tribe and us."

The black bear’s claws raked toward the Snow Leopard’s chest.

Yan Lie tried to dodge, but his normally agile movements were growing sluggish.

Just as the bear’s paw was about to connect, a black shadow swept in like a hurricane.

Zhu Xiu’s Snake Tail whipped out, lashing like a steel cable and sweeping the attacking Bear Clan members off their feet, slamming them into the ground.

"Get on!" Zhu Xiu ordered in a low voice. His Snake Tail flicked out, scooping Yan Lie up.

In agony from both the pain and the itch, Yan Lie had no strength left.

He instinctively reached out, grabbing onto Zhu Xiu’s Snake Scales to steady himself.

He lay weakly on Zhu Xiu’s back. Even though he was on, Zhu Xiu didn’t move.

Seeing the black bears closing in again, he urged, "I’m on, let’s go!"

Zhu Xiu’s body remained still for another moment before he finally began to move.

He unleashed his Orange Rank Talent. His speed made even the famously agile Snow Leopard seem slow, to say nothing of the cumbersome black bears.

In moments, they had put a great distance between themselves and their pursuers.

Seeing this, Yan Lie finally allowed himself to relax.

’I’m still alive. I can still go back and see Wanwan.’

Despite the pain and the itching, a laugh escaped his lips.

He shifted his position, writhing and scratching.

"Zhu Xiu, thanks! For a second there, I was really afraid I’d never see Wanwan again..."

’Wanwan would be heartbroken if she saw me like this. I have to pull myself together so she won’t worry.’

He tried to rally, focusing all his will on resisting the overwhelming itch.

But he could only hold out for a moment before he gave in, scratching furiously once more.

In the middle of his scratching, he noticed that Zhu Xiu had stopped again.

"What is it?"

As he spoke, he glanced behind them. The black bears hadn’t given up; they were still in pursuit.

"Zhu Xiu, they’re gaining on us! We have to go!"

The words had barely left his mouth when he felt his body lurch and pitch downward.

Zhu Xiu’s massive body toppled like a collapsing building, crashing to the ground with a thunderous impact!

"Zhu Xiu!"

Forgetting the itch, Yan Lie scrambled to his feet and staggered over to check on him.

Zhu Xiu’s eyes were shut tight, the muscles beneath his Snake Scales twitching faintly.

"Don’t scare me, Zhu Xiu! What’s wrong?"

He got closer and gave Zhu Xiu a hard shove.

When he didn’t move, Yan Lie tried to drag him.

"Zhu Xiu, get up! Your beast form is too big, I can’t drag you..."

In the distance, the Bear Clan Beastmen had recovered from the chaos of the itching powder. They were filled with uncontrollable rage. "Kill them!"

Bai Wanwan stood on the tribe’s high platform, her fingers clutching Xin Feng’s sleeve so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She had a clear view of Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie’s predicament.

Seeing the Bear Clan Beastmen closing in on them, Bai Wanwan spun around and cried out, "Clan Leader, please send the Golden Lions to help my two Beast Husbands!"

"Alright, try not to worry."

The Golden Lions nearby who had noticed the situation were already moving toward Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie.

But it was nowhere near enough.

Jin Cang Clan Leader threw his head back and let out a deafening lion’s roar.

Outside the tribe, the Golden Lions who were scattered across the battlefield, busy finishing off Bear Clan Beastmen, immediately halted their attacks.

They turned and raced toward the massive snake form at the center of the conflict.

But the Bear Clan had been thoroughly enraged. The several hundred uninjured males that remained all charged, intent on surrounding Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie.

Watching this unfold, Bai Wanwan’s eyes reddened. She grabbed Xin Feng’s sleeve. "Xin Feng, take me with you! I still have more itching powder."

Almost instantly, she acquired dozens more packets of itching powder from her system.

Xin Feng’s silver wolf ears stiffened, and he shook his head decisively. "It’s too dangerous! You stay here. I’ll go."

"Jin Cang Clan Leader, please, you must watch over my Wife. Don’t let any harm come to her."

Jin Cang Clan Leader realized what he was about to do and opened his mouth to speak, but Xin Feng had already snatched the itching powder from Bai Wanwan’s hand and charged out.

The Silver Wolf’s beast form became a streak of light, dashing out of the tribe in the blink of an eye.

In the center of the battlefield, the Golden Lions fought desperately to protect Zhu Xiu, stubbornly resisting the Bear Clan Beastmen’s siege...
