Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 125 - 110: Why Is It So Ugly?
Back last year, Song Ke had heard that a female with skin as snow-white as Lin Xixue’s had appeared in Beast Gathering City. Although he never got the chance to see her in person, this only piqued his interest further.
After waiting a year, the time for the tribal exchange had finally arrived again, and he at last had his chance.
The forest was a chaotic battlefield. The sharp cries of eagles and the roars of beasts mingled in a deafening cacophony. Swirling clouds of dust and smoke obscured the view, and the ground was littered with feathers and blood.
"ROAR!" The Silver Wolf let out a furious roar, whirling around to pounce on one of the eagles. Its terrifyingly powerful jaws clamped down, tearing the Black Eagle’s head clean off.
A spray of blood instantly misted across the Silver Wolf’s fierce, fearsome face.
The remaining eagles panicked, flapping and screeching wildly. Still, they had no choice but to continue circling and engaging the Silver Wolf, attempting to wear down Ling Hong’s stamina through a war of attrition.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate. However, thanks to the Silver Wolf and the Snake Beast, the eagles’ side was actually showing signs of being pushed back.
Song Ke’s face fell, shocked that this small tribe was so difficult to deal with. This was the first time he had miscalculated so badly.
Song Ke had no desire to drag out the fight; he planned to snatch the female and make a run for it.
From a distance, An Jin saw the Golden Eagle dive, its sharp talons extended. ’It’s coming straight for me?!’
"Jin’er, go hide. I can’t protect you from over here." Gu Yin’s hand rested on her back as he planted a quick kiss on her forehead. The man’s solid chest gave her an immense sense of security.
But in the next instant, his snake tail coiled around her waist, swiftly whisking her away to a safe spot in the distance.
"HISS~" Gu Yin charged forward, his eyes fixed on the diving Eagle Beast. His crimson, blade-like pupils dilated and constricted, a chilling and terrifying sight.
’A mere Sixth Rank Eagle Beast dares to try and snatch her from me.’
Just moments ago, he had been focused on protecting his female, unable to unleash his full power and with no desire to prolong the fight. But after a few clashes, he realized the target of these Eagle Beasts was actually An Jin?!
’They’re courting death!’
Gu Yin’s fury and killing intent erupted. In an instant, he transformed into a giant python over ten meters long and threw himself into the battle.
Aside from his older brother, Song Ke had never seen a Seventh Rank Beastman. As a Sixth Rank Beastman himself, he had never met an opponent he couldn’t defeat.
Seeing that his opponent was just a Snake Beast, he grew even more arrogant and careless.
The Golden Eagle dove viciously, intending to take the Snake Beast’s life with unstoppable force. But before he could even get near the female, a black shadow flashed before him, and he was instantly swatted to the ground.
The blow knocked him to his senses.
Song Ke scrambled back into the air with a frantic beat of his wings, looking a sorry sight. A shower of torn, blood-stained feathers drifted to the ground.
His sharp eagle eyes stared in shock at the black-and-red python before him. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
’A Seventh Rank Snake Beast, of all things. No wonder that little female took him as her mate. This is going to be tricky.’
But Song Ke was no pushover. In the city, he was considered a top-tier fighter who had seen it all. ’No matter how strong this Snake Beast is, he’s still just a snake.’
"KREEE—" The Golden Eagle let out a rallying cry.
Several powerful Fifth Rank Eagle Beasts immediately broke away from the melee. With piercing shrieks, they dove toward Gu Yin’s tail like falling meteors.
Eagles hunt snakes; it was a natural order in the food chain. ’No one can escape the laws of nature.’
Their sharp, hooked beaks and razor-sharp talons were the perfect weapons for tearing snake skin.
Gu Yin’s attacks carried the unique ferocity and savagery of a Wandering Beast; nearly every blow was fatal. His tail crushed one eagle to death, while his venomous fangs killed two more.
Even though he had turned the tide and gained the upper hand, Gu Yin was outnumbered and couldn’t be everywhere at once. His tail was raked and torn by the horde of Eagle Beasts until the flesh was laid bare, bleeding profusely.
While tangling with the eagles, Gu Yin had to remain constantly vigilant, wary of the flock breaking off to charge An Jin.
Ling Hong and the other Beastmen were too tied up in their own fights to spare any help.
Whenever an Eagle Beast tried to fly toward An Jin, the black-and-red snake tail would instantly swat it away. But this created openings for the other opportunistic Eagle Beasts, who would immediately dive in to claw and peck at his injured tail.
An Jin’s heart ached watching him. Not wanting to be a burden to her tribe, she used the cover of the giant python’s body to scramble underneath a large cart.
The jumble of wooden planks and Beast Skin Bags was just enough to hide her small frame.
No longer having to worry about the female’s safety, Gu Yin and the Beastmen could finally let loose. The tide of battle quickly turned in their favor.
Song Ke was shocked to realize that not only had he failed to capture the little female, but he had already lost nearly half of the men he’d brought with him. Even he himself was significantly injured.
"SCREEEE—"
’Retreat!’
The Golden Eagle let out a piercing shriek, but the snake tail swept in again, sending him flying dozens of meters.
