Chapter 459: Chapter 456: The Beast Husbands Are Here

"Hua Han!"

Bai Wanwan’s voice trembled, tears glistening in her eyes. "You have to run! You have to live! I’ll come find you!"

Her voice, trembling like never before, cut through the wind and snow, reaching him clearly down below.

Below the rock face, Hua Han felt as if every bone in his body had been shattered. His organs felt displaced, and the intense pain nearly swallowed his consciousness. Every breath he took was thick with the taste of blood.

But just as his consciousness was about to sink into darkness, the female’s cry—tinged with tears yet incredibly resolute—exploded in his chaotic mind like a clap of thunder!

’I haven’t even become Wanwan’s Beast Husband yet... How can I die here?’

An overwhelming will to survive surged from the depths of his heart.

His eyes snapped open, a crazed fire igniting in his amber pupils!

He gritted his teeth and desperately summoned the last of his strength to break out of the encirclement...

Yin Ze carried Bai Wanwan and the cubs, speeding through the wind, snow, and darkness for a long time before finally flying deep into a range of steep, treacherous snowy mountains.

He finally found a narrow cave in a recess of a cliff face, one that was extremely well-hidden and mostly obscured by massive icicles.

He carefully set down Bai Wanwan and the still-shaken cubs.

He scouted the surroundings to check for danger, returning with a hesitant look on his face.

Bai Wanwan knew what he was hesitating about.

"Go check on Hua Han." Her voice was unusually calm. "I have something to protect myself. Don’t worry about us!"

She had plenty of Points now and could exchange them for many things. If worse came to worst, she could just get another laser gun.

He gave her a deep look, then glanced at the cubs huddled together in the corner. Finally, he gave a firm nod. "Alright. Stay hidden in here and don’t come out."

"Wait!"

Bai Wanwan called out to him again, stepping forward to grab his arm. "Your safety comes first. Don’t fight them head-on! If... if you really can’t save Hua Han, then we’ll wait for Zhu Xiu and the others to regroup with us. Those people are after me. Hua Han is valuable to them, so they probably won’t kill him for now."

She forced herself to analyze the situation calmly, but anything could happen, and her trembling hand betrayed her inner anxiety.

Yin Ze felt the cold from her fingertips and nodded heavily. "Mm! I understand. Wait for me."

Before the words had even faded, he transformed into a streak of orange-red light and vanished into the vast, snowy expanse, his speed astonishingly fast.

Only Bai Wanwan and the cubs were left in the cave.

She held the cubs tightly, warming them with her body heat.

Outside the cave, there was only the howling wind, the snow, and a deathly silence.

Time seemed to stretch on, every minute and every second an agonizing torment, like being fried in a wok of boiling oil.

She strained her ears, listening for any possible sound from outside. The cubs seemed to sense their mother’s tension and stopped whimpering, merely staring uneasily at the cave entrance with their big, tear-filled eyes.

The night passed in this state of torment. Bai Wanwan didn’t dare to close her eyes, forcing herself to stay awake until a faint, grayish-white light finally appeared on the horizon.

She felt that if she closed her eyes for even a second, she would fall into a deep sleep. But just then, the sound of flapping wings came from outside the cave.

Yin Ze’s figure appeared at the entrance, reeking of blood. His clothes were in disarray and stained with dark red blood, his face pale.

"Wanwan..." Yin Ze’s voice was terribly hoarse, filled with a deep sense of helplessness. "Hua Han is seriously injured. Those males took him away by force. I couldn’t bring him back."

’He was just trying to save his female... I owe Hua Han my life!’

He clenched his fists. ’When Zhu Xiu and the others arrive, we have to rescue that fox.’

Bai Wanwan’s face went pale. That fox—the one who was always smiling brightly, who took meticulous care of her, who even pricked his own fingers full of holes with his little schemes... was seriously injured.

She remembered the sickening thud as he hit the rocks, the jarring crimson that had spread across his fur...

’So even a male as cunning as him could get hurt.’

Bai Wanwan’s fists clenched tightly.

She had only wanted to live through the snow season peacefully with her cubs and Beast Husbands. She never wanted to get dragged into the original owner’s bewildering and dangerous past.

But now... her enemies had not only come for her and hurt Hua Han, but had also tried to capture her.

The cruel reality was that she could no longer stay out of it. She was already involved!

Days passed slowly, filled with anxious waiting and a heavy atmosphere.

Four or five days went by. Every day, Bai Wanwan had Yin Ze go check the seashore.

Aside from the cold spray of the waves and the circling seabirds, no familiar figures appeared.

Watching Bai Wanwan’s face grow more haggard by the day and seeing the indelible worry in her eyes, Yin Ze’s heart ached for her.

He gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "Wanwan, Zhu Xiu and the others are Orange Rank males, the top powerhouses on this continent. Even if they’ve run into some trouble, it won’t be enough to stop them. They will definitely come!"

Bai Wanwan leaned on his sturdy arm, drawing a little warmth from him as she nodded lightly.

「Several more days passed in a flash.」

That afternoon, Yin Ze was standing guard at the cave entrance when suddenly, his sharp eagle eyes shot toward the horizon. The color drained from his face!

In the distant sky, a dense swarm of black dots had appeared at some unknown point.

They were moving extremely fast, like a shifting black cloud, letting out sharp cries as they dove rapidly toward the cliff where they were hiding.

It was a flock of Eagle Beasts!

And there was a huge number of them—at least a hundred.

Their sharp eyes, glinting with a greedy, vicious light in the reflection of the snow, were clearly locked onto the cave.

"Wanwan, quickly, get the cubs onto my back!" Yin Ze’s voice held an unprecedented urgency.

He instantly transformed. A giant Phoenix Divine Bird erupted in a dazzling orange light, illuminating the cave entrance.

He wasn’t afraid of these Eagle Beasts and would be fearless in a one-on-one fight. But protecting the defenseless Bai Wanwan and all the cubs from any harm under the siege of a hundred ferocious Eagle Beasts was a nearly impossible task.

However, the flock of Eagle Beasts was too fast.

Like sharks that had smelled blood, they closed in in an instant.

Their sharp talons and beaks tore through the air, carrying the stench of death!

"SCREEE!"

The few strongest Eagle Beasts leading the charge were the first to dive down, their sharp talons aiming straight for the cubs who had just been sheltered on Yin Ze’s back.

In the nick of time!

"HIIISSS!"

A cold, violent hiss suddenly erupted from below the cliff.

The sound carried a terrifying pressure, causing the diving flock of Eagle Beasts to falter for a moment.

Immediately after, a gigantic King Cobra—its body covered in scales as dark as black jade, its size so immense it was breathtaking—rose up from the shadows at the base of the cliff like a fiend crawling out from the depths of hell!

Its enormous, triangular head reared back, its cold, slitted pupils locking onto the diving Eagle Beasts as it opened its terrifying maw with the speed of lightning.
