Lilly was amazed by what she witnessed. What is happening here? Squeaky had just returned home, but it had already been wrapped up as a present and given to the mouse she had defeated.
"Are you really Squeaky's father?" Lilly looked at the large mouse suspiciously. "Why aren't you even asking Squeaky for her opinion?" The Beast King was becoming impatient with Lilly, so it huffed imperiously and stated coldly, "Is there a reason why she would object to this? My decision is for her own good!" As the leader of the tribe, it naturally had priority in terms of mating rights. Therefore, all the female beasts in the group naturally belonged to the King.
Red Fur's promise was already a display of respect towards Squeaky. So, what right did she have to refuse such a generous proposal? Squeaky couldn't believe it. Yet, it also seemed to have an epiphany.
It realized that its sire, the Beast King, hadn't accepted it out of love or acknowledgment.
It thought that by passing its father's test, its father would treat it like a cherished child.
Unfortunately, it turned out that it was just a tool for excellent breeding, worthy of being given away to the next generation of Beast King as nothing more than a gift! As long as it was the mother, it could produce a stronger Beast King in the future. That was definitely what its father was thinking, right? Didn't its father say that it would become the little Beast King? That even a little Beast King would still be King? Tears unknowingly filled Squeaky's eyes as the proud image of its father in its heart shattered into a million pieces.
"I'm not going back with you." Squeaky stepped away from the Beast King and firmly stuck with Lilly. "I don't want you as my father!" The Beast King didn't expect it to dare to say such words! "Outrageous!" it snarled angrily. "I am your father!" If it hadn't seen Squeaky subdue the Four Mythical Creatures, how could it, as the Beast King, allow such a weak creature to return to the tribe? Yet, the greedy little thing was still not satisfied with its benevolence! Squeaky leaned against Lilly sadly, apologizing for not being able to secure a refuge for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLilly whispered, "It's okay. Let's go then." When she learned that Squeaky's family was here, she had originally hoped that Squeaky could return home. Who knew that things would turn out this way? "Stop!" The Beast King refused to let Squeaky go. "Did | allow you to leave? You're a Flame Beast! How can you not return to your tribe and insist on mingling with a human? How could you tarnish our reputation?!" Squeaky publicly rejected the Beast King as its father, causing the Beast King to endure great humiliation.
It was utterly infuriated.
Before it could say anything, a sharp arrow of water shot through the air and hit the Beast King's face! The enraged Beast King almost had its eye shot out. Its face twisted drastically as it roared in warning, "The Stingers are attacking! Take defensive positions!" The Flame Beasts emitted sharp cries one after another. Soon, a red wall of fire was formed.
Red Fur stood at the top of this wall, lifted its front legs, and roared, "Hold!" Lilly's heart tightened at the urgency as she turned her head to see a group of giant beasts surrounding them.
Their bodies were like huge metal balls with a diameter of over 40 inches. As they rolled closer, they unfolded themselves.
Honestly, they resembled giant worms with legs.
Their shells looked extremely tough. They were covered with what seemed like nine large scales. Nonetheless, considering the light glinting off the edges, they were most likely as sharp as a blade.
These fearsome creatures also had tentacles with sharp barbs at the tips. Hence, they could easily capture and tear apart the slow Flame Beasts with just a flick! Squeaky and Speedy had never seen such massive monsters before. So, they couldn't help but huddle together and shake in fear.
Meanwhile, Lilly widened her eyes and exclaimed in delight, "Wow! Shrimp!" Squeaky and Speedy turned to stare at her in shock.
Lilly was so thrilled by the sight. The terrified look on the Flame Beasts made her hunger all the more apparent.
Now that she thought about it, she had passed through that door, and the spiritual energy in her elixir field had been completely depleted. So, she felt like a starving girl who had been famished for three days and was being greeted by a delicious plate of seafood.
The giant creature before her did look scary. Yet, there was no denying its resemblance to a mere shrimp. Lilly's mind started to wander as she thought of the shrimp dish her grandmother used to make...
I'm so hungry! I want it! | want them all! Lilly looked at the Stinger and started salivating.
The bug-like creature couldn't help but stare at her in bewilderment.
Sure enough, the Flame Beasts were quick to notice her strange behavior as well.
The moment the Stinger noticed Lilly, its eyes began to emit a faint light. Suddenly, it swerved away from its original route and pounced towards Lilly! Lilly muttered to herself, "What the heck?" It was one thing for the Moon Hugger crickets to chase after her, but why was this Stinger also chasing her? Earlier, the Flame Beasts couldn't even be bothered to spare her a single glance. That was why she assumed that only the Moon Hugger crickets would view her as food! "What are you standing there for? Run!" Lilly held Squeaky and Speedy and promptly teleported away. Then, she immediately appeared behind the Stinger, her eyes glowing red.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe simply raised her hand as Dragon Fang appeared. Finally, without wasting any time, Lilly swiftly decapitated the Stinger! Haha! A successful ambush! Of course, she quickly tossed the Stinger's carcass into the Ruler of Hell's Palace for preservation before immediately making her escape! It only took one more teleportation before she disappeared from the scene without leaving a trace.
Both the Stingers and the Flame Beasts were caught off guard! The Stingers looked at their companion or what was left of it. The head in its eyes looked at them with lifeless eyes. Although they couldn't blink and had no possible way of closing their eyes in death, they couldn't tolerate such an ordeal! So, they promptly vented their anger on the Flame Beast tribe, causing a fierce battle to break out.
The Flame Beasts and the water-dwelling Stingers were inherently incompatible due to their natures. The Flame Beasts belonged to the spectral creature category, whereas the Stingers were demonic creatures. Demonic creatures could enhance their strength by consuming spectral creatures. Consequently, the Flame Beasts were prone to being attacked by other demonic creatures.
However, over millions of years of evolution, they had naturally developed their own survival methods, which involved subduing the soul of a demonic creature after killing it.
At this moment, the two clans were locked in a fierce battle, resulting in numerous casualties.
Lilly had taken refuge in a cave, skillfully starting a fire and boiling water to prepare food.
The Stinger bore a striking resemblance to a shrimp, especially when its body was encased in segmented shells.
These shells were resilient and difficult to penetrate.
Lilly brandished Dragon Fang.
Dragon Fang was shocked and outraged when it realized what its wielder intended to do. It couldn't help but wonder, Was an ancient Evil Sword like itself meant to be used in such a manner?! It absolutely refused to be reduced to a mere butcher's knife! Five seconds later, Dragon Fang sliced the Stinger into nine pieces, stacking them in front of Lilly.
