Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 126 - 110: Why So Ugly?
Terrified, Song Ke extended his sharp talons, grabbed the first thing he could find, and hurled it at the black-and-red python.
An Eagle Eye inadvertently glanced over and spotted the female’s petite figure trying to retreat. Its eyes lit up.
The Golden Eagle let out an excited shriek. Before An Jin could escape, a sharp pain shot through her shoulder blade as an Eagle Beast snatched her into the air.
Without a second thought, Song Ke spread his wings and soared high, covering several hundred meters in an instant.
Mi Yin lunged forward but missed by a hair’s breadth, getting only a mouthful of golden feathers and a spray of blood.
"Jin’er!"
Thousands of meters in the sky, a fierce wind howled. An Jin’s eardrums throbbed, and her cloak flapped violently in the gale.
Her shoulder was bleeding from the eagle’s talons, but she seemed oblivious to the pain, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the rapidly receding ground.
Ling Hong, Mi Yin, and the other Beastmen from the tribe quickly shrank into tiny black dots.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished from her sight completely.
The cold wind slapped against her face, and her heart sank into the abyss.
"Tsk. While avian beastmen can’t match the combat power of these Land Beastmen, who can possibly compete with our Eagle Clan when it comes to the hunt?" a strange man’s voice said near her ear.
Especially thousands of meters up in the sky. This was the Eagle Clan’s paradise. Who could possibly touch them here?
Although they had been lucky enough to capture the female this time, they had never suffered such heavy casualties before.
They had lost nearly half of their powerful Eagle Beasts, and the survivors were all injured to varying degrees.
Song Ke was in the worst shape. In the final moment, that frenzied Snake Beast had viciously bitten his left wing, nearly crippling him.
Potent venom coursed through his veins, making his flight unsteady. He had no choice but to endure the immense pain and lead the flock of Eagle Beasts back to Beast Gathering City as quickly as possible.
’I can’t believe a Seventh Rank Snake Beast was hiding in such a barren valley. Hmph, I’ll definitely have my brother help me get revenge for this.’
’But the most urgent task is to get back to the city and treat my injuries. It’s a good thing I’m a Sixth Rank Beastman, or I’d have been poisoned to death.’
...
The battlefield fell silent. The Eagle Clan’s main assault had focused on Mi Yin and Ling Hong, so the other Beastmen hadn’t been seriously injured.
However, they were covered in scratches. The raw, red wounds were exposed to the air, stinging and itching, and their hearts were filled with anxiety.
"That flock of eagles didn’t seem like Wandering Beasts. They probably won’t harm the Clan Leader, but they definitely took her to mate with her!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
’It seems the Clan Leader’s beauty had long been coveted by some ambitious and ruthless beastmen.’
They were frustrated by their own weakness, unable to protect the female.
The Eagle Clan was well-trained and didn’t seem like unscrupulous Wandering Beasts, so they probably wouldn’t mistreat the female. They weren’t too worried about An Jin’s safety, but getting her back would not be easy.
They were just afraid that by the time they found her, she would be pregnant with one of those Eagle Beasts’ eggs. Then, the Clan Leader might not want to return to the tribe.
Mi Yin shot them a furious, icy glare. The veins on his clenched fists bulged, and the crowd immediately shut their mouths in terror. Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads, and their legs went weak.
Only then did they remember that the Snake Beast before them was an incredibly ferocious Wandering Beast. He had merely restrained his sharp edges when An Jin was around.
The Eagle Clan had flown in the direction of Beast Gathering City.
Ling Hong wanted to rush over immediately, but the wounded and panicked clansmen kept him rooted to the spot. He had no choice but to order the Beastmen to quickly treat their wounds, reload the goods, and get back on the road.
Ling Hong turned to call out to Mi Yin, only to find he had already vanished.
’That Snake Beast actually went after them alone?!’
’His status as a Wandering Beast will get him forcibly expelled from the city.’
Ling Hong’s heart burned with anxiety. He hurriedly led the Beastmen forward, hoping to catch up to Mi Yin.
Deep within the ancient forest, towering trees blotted out the sun, casting vast shadows. The dark earth, long deprived of light, was exceptionally damp and cold.
The RUSTLING sound of a giant python slithering broke the grim, dead silence.
The black-and-red python moved stealthily through the jungle. It raised the upper half of its body, its crimson, vertical pupils narrowing to slits like blades as it stared intently at the flock of eagles flying farther and farther away, memorizing their flight path.
The shadow of the black-and-red snake quickly disappeared.
...
’Resistance is futile.’
An Jin understood her current situation all too well. She was a defenseless female, and in a situation like this, she could only be at the mercy of others.
Thousands of meters of open air were beneath her. The very thought of struggling or escaping vanished in an instant.
’A fall from this height would turn me into meat paste.’
Since escape was impossible anyway, she calmed down, deciding she might as well have a good chat with the Beastman above her about the meaning of eagle life.
