Chapter 197: Su An’an and Seville’s Divine-Level Cooperation
The bonfires of the Gray Stone Tribe painted the night sky red. Beastmen sang and danced while the aroma of meat stew wafted through the air.
Qiuqiu chased and played with the Pallas’s cat and gray wolf cubs, his chubby face scrunched up into a smiling bun.
Su An’an gently stroked Seville’s suddenly tense Wings. "What’s wrong?"
"There’s trouble!"
He shot into the air, his black and white Wings slicing through the moonlight and casting a massive shadow.
Seeing this, three avian Beastmen from the Gray Stone Tribe also took flight.
But when they saw the scene in the distance, they let out piercing screams:
"A beast tide! A Mutated Beast Tide is attacking our tribe!"
The sounds of celebration on the ground came to an abrupt halt.
Old Wolf immediately dropped to the ground, pressing his left ear to the earth. His face instantly turned deathly pale.
"We’re surrounded on all sides—at least two thousand of them."
He shot back to his feet and roared at Manda:
"Get the females and cubs out of here now! Have them go to the Tumu Tribe nearby!"
"It’s useless."
Manda’s voice was hoarse, his fingertips digging into his palms.
"It’s the acid rain season. No tribe will take in females with cubs."
Linda, a female from the Leopard Clan, tremblingly pressed her Bone Knife to the throat of the Pallas’s cat cub in her arms.
"Close your eyes. Mother doesn’t want you to be eaten alive."
The Beastman Warriors gripped their weapons so tightly that blood seeped from between their fingers. Despair washed over them like a tidal wave.
"Cowards!"
Seville’s cold sneer cut through the dead silence like a frigid blade. His beastly eyes swept over the trembling Beastman Warriors below.
"Even Qiuqiu is braver than you."
Chubby Qiuqiu gripped the Little Bone Knife that Jin Zhu had given him, his round little body erupting with astonishing momentum.
"Kill them! Kill them all!" The tip of his knife sliced through the air, leaving a silver arc in its wake.
The Pallas’s cat and gray wolf cubs’ fur all stood on end. They broke free from the females’ embraces like little cannonballs and instantly formed a perfect battle formation.
Their high-pitched voices thundered, "Bite their ears! Gouge their bellies! Kill, kill, kill!"
Manda’s lion ears flattened against his head in shame. ’We’re actually letting the cubs stand in front of us!’
Veins bulged on the back of the old chieftain’s withered hands. ’I’ve lived for half a lifetime, yet I don’t have the courage of a cub!’
"Courage can’t stop the corrosive venom of the Mutant Beasts."
A Gray Wolf Beastman said tremblingly, clutching his Bone Spear.
"The more we struggle, the more painful it will be. It’s better to just die quickly!"
"Who says we can’t withstand the venom of the Mutant Beasts?"
Su An’an’s voice boomed like a clap of thunder.
A pink radiance surged from her palm, falling like a shower of cherry blossoms onto every Beastman’s weapon.
"My Divine Power was born to purify."
Old Wolf’s eyes widened, and he shouted with excitement:
"The Divine Female was sent by the Beast God to save our tribe."
Jin Zhu raised her Bone Spear high. The cracks on it were filled by the pink light.
"By the Beast God! Slaughter all the filthy Mutant Beasts!"
The Beastman Warriors let out a collective howl, striking the ground with their Bone Spears. "Kill, kill, kill!"
The roars of the Mutant Beasts echoed in the night sky, but for the first time, the Beastmen of the Gray Stone Tribe stood tall.
"Watch Qiuqiu!"
Seville caught the chubby Qiuqiu, who was about to charge out, and tossed him into Su An’an’s arms.
"Qiuqiu wants to fight the bad guys!"
The little one flailed his arms and legs in Su An’an’s embrace.
"Be quiet."
Su An’an gently flicked his forehead. She didn’t want Qiuqiu to take such risks every time.
"Protect Anan!"
Seville’s one sentence was enough to make Qiuqiu behave.
"Auntie, I’ll protect you."
Qiuqiu gripped his Little Bone Knife, his big eyes scanning his surroundings seriously.
"Be careful!"
Su An’an tapped her finger, intentionally strengthening the Divine Light enveloping Seville.
"They can’t hurt me."
Seville gave a proud smile and soared into the sky.
The Golden Light on his Wings flashed like blades, and every flap stirred up a spray of blood mist.
Before the corrosive blood of the Mutant Beasts could even splash down, it was vaporized into black smoke by his Light Blades.
Jin Zhu’s Bone Knife cleaved the skull of a giant wolf.
Xiong Guo swung a boulder and smashed it into the beast pack.
The old chieftain and Manda stood back-to-back, tearing apart any enemy that came near.
Jin Zhu pressed her hands together, and countless vines erupted from the ground, instantly strangling several Mutant Beasts.
Her pupils glinted with a cold light as her Bone Spear precisely targeted every lunging Mutant Beast.
Even the cubs were hiding in rock crevices, viciously throwing stones at any beast that slipped through the lines.
A pink curtain of light acted as a natural barrier, blocking all the venom. The Mutant Beasts fell in droves under the Purification Power.
The Tiger Beastman’s deformed claws dug deep into a tree trunk, his scales clattering with excitement. KAKA!
"How can there be a Beastman who can purify the venom of Mutant Beasts?"
"It’s the Divine Female!"
The Jackal Wolf Beastman suddenly pulled down his hood, revealing a half-deformed beastly face.
"I never expected the Empress to be the Divine Female."
His ulcerated tongue licked his fangs, his eyes glowing with greed.
"As long as we capture her, we can get rid of this wretched appearance."
"You’re right!"
The skin on the Tiger Beastman’s claws was peeling off at a visible rate, revealing rotting flesh underneath.
He stared at Su An’an’s distant, pink-glowing figure, his slitted pupils narrowing to a thin line.
"First, we’ll cripple that Swan. Then we’ll slowly savor our savior."
With a flick of their cloaks, their figures melted into the shadows like tar.
Su An’an was raising her hand to heal the wounded when her spiritual power threads suddenly went taut.
Two black shadows shot out from the shade behind her like venomous snakes!
"Auntie, look out!"
Qiuqiu instantly transformed into a Lizard Beastman, viciously swinging a Stone Blade at the two shadows.
The Jackal Wolf Beastman blocked Qiuqiu’s Stone Blade.
The Tiger Beastman seized the opportunity to lunge, his sharp claws just three inches from Su An’an’s arm.
Su An’an’s pupils contracted sharply.
SWOOSH!
Black and white Wings tore through the air as Seville appeared in a flash, moving at near-teleportation speed.
He grabbed Su An’an by the small of her back with one hand and pulled her into his arms.
With his other hand, he grasped the air, and a greatsword formed from holy Golden Light came crashing down!
BOOM!
The shockwave exploded outward.
The Jackal Wolf Beastman and Tiger Beastman were thrown back more than ten meters, their black robes tearing to reveal their mutated bodies.
"How is that possible? How can the Swan Clan be so fast?"
The Jackal Wolf Beastman retreated, clutching his injured arm.
The Tiger Beastman stared at the ancient runes flowing across Seville’s Wings, his beastly face contorting violently.
"It’s the secret technique of a Holy Priest! Quick, use the Divine Medicine!"
The two beasts simultaneously pulled out golden potions and stabbed them into their necks.
"Stop them!"
Su An’an’s vines shot out of the ground, but she was half a step too late.
As the potion was injected, their bodies convulsed violently. Their muscles swelled and their skin split open, revealing scarlet flesh.
Their eyes turned into beast-like, scarlet, slitted pupils. Roaring, they lunged forward, their combat power having surged several times over!
Their speed, strength, and regenerative abilities far surpassed those of the Mutant Beasts.
A single punch shattered a giant boulder, and their claws tore through the air. Even Seville’s Light Blades were forcefully blocked!
"Seville, hold them off!"
Su An’an ordered in a low voice.
Her Divine Female Power surged out like a tide, forming pink chains that wrapped around the limbs of the two frenzied Beastmen.
Seville sneered. His Wings spread fully, and the Golden Light condensed into countless fine needles of light that rained down on the enemies.
The two of them worked in perfect concert.
Su An’an controlled, and Seville reaped!
The frenzied members of the Divine Army roared and struggled, but the Spiritual Power Chains only tightened around them.
The light needles precisely pierced their joints, throats, and hearts!
Finally, the two frenzied bodies crashed to the ground.
Su An’an slowly approached, and flickering threads of spiritual power from her fingertips tightened around their necks.
"Now then, tell me where your nest is."
