Chapter 31: Snatched Away by the Snake Beastman Cortis

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“What’s going on? Sounds like Parker’s voice.”

“Something must have happened. Let’s hurry over and take a look.”

The males rushed out of the village in a group and saw Parker battling a snake beastman. That snake beastman was holding Parker’s female and had made the two striped-Parker powerless to retaliate.

It was indeed a homeless beast!

It had been many years since a homeless beast had been to their village, but every beast still felt a deep sense of loathing towards these homeless beasts.

Instantly, the males let out their rage, and the hundred over of them completely transformed into their animal forms, making a series of loud banging noises. Just as they were about to charge at him, they froze in their steps uniformly as the snake beastman looked towards them.

What? He’s a beastman with four animal stripes?

There were only five beastmen with four animal stripes in the City of Beastmen. How could this homeless beast have four animal stripes!

The most formidable one amongst them only had one animal stripe, so of course, they didn’t have the guts to fight a beastman with four animal stripes! Even if the entire tribe were to come out and help, they might not necessarily be able to help Parker snatch back his female. But it was certain that their tribe would end up with many casualties and injuries.

Seeing that the group of beasts wasn’t attacking him, Cortis shifted his gaze away. His half-transformed animal form stood even taller as he lifted Bai Qingqing off the ground.

Bai Qingqing felt despair at seeing the tribe’s males waver.

Kicked into the air once again by the snake’s tail, Parker staggered to his feet with blood all over his body. He glanced towards Bai Qingqing with his bloodshot golden eyes, before letting out a growl and pouncing at the snake once again.

As Bai Qingqing and Parker’s gazes met, Bai Qingqing’s tears slipped down instantly. She screamed in her heart, “Just leave me alone!”

However, under that circumstance, she couldn’t utter a single sound.

Cortis was a lazy and happy-go-lucky snake and didn’t like complicating issues. Now that over a hundred beastmen had come over, he wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as possible.

This time his tail didn’t toss Parker into the air again, but instead, curled and slightly shifted backward, before sweeping up vigorously, rolling around the leopard that had leaped up into the air.

The leopard let out a roar as its soft waist was tightly encircled, continuously vomiting out fresh blood from his mouth. In between the tightening of the snake’s tail, the sound of the bones’ abrasion could be heard indistinctly.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly looked towards the snake beastman’s face. “Let go of him quickly!”

Cortis lowered his head and looked at Bai Qingqing, his gaze as calm as ever. Clearly, Parker’s attack was nothing in his eyes.

Bai Qingqing frantically glanced at Parker, feeling more anxious now. “Let go of him, I beg of you!”

Bai Qingqing’s eyes brimmed with tears, her slightly downturned eyes making her look pitiful and innocent—even the black freckles all over her face didn’t conceal their attractiveness.

Cortis gently kissed Bai Qingqing’s eye and pecked away the tears. He let go of her and said gently, “Okay.”

The snake then tossed its tail, tossing the leopard far away into the distance.

“Hush hush.” Cortis jolted Bai Qingqing in his arms, but all that did was make her let out a burp after all that crying. His handsome and extraordinary face couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.

Snake beastmen were actually very handsome. But no matter how good looking they were, Bai Qingqing wouldn’t be able to notice it under such circumstances.

Cortis twisted his body and turned around. His large body didn’t make him clumsy. On the contrary, he was even more nimble than a small snake. He twisted his snake body at will and easily glided nearly ten meters forward.

Hearing Parker’s nonstop roars from behind, Bai Qingqing looked over Cortis’s shoulder.

The males in the tribe attempted to stop Parker, but Parker slyly dodged the male beasts and speedily gave chase.

However, since even the severely injured him was faster than the beasts who had one stripe fewer than him, how would he be able to chase up to Cortis who had two more stripes than him?

Bai Qingqing stared at the maniacally running Parker in a dazed state, until his figure became further and further, smaller and smaller, until finally, he was completely out of sight...
