The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

"Roar!"

Edel turned around and saw Lightning, who was sleeping peacefully, suddenly use his front paws to open the cage. He reacted and immediately blocked its way: "What's wrong?"

Normally, war beasts would not react abnormally for no reason, unless there was a threat or...

Lightning saw him standing in front of him and growled twice, seeming a little anxious.

Edel walked forward and gently stroked Lightning's head. Although Lightning did not respond to Edel the same way he responded to Qin Jiu, he did not show any disgust either.

Edel asked, "Are there any alien beasts?"

Lightning nodded his big head. Edel frowned, his eyes fixed on Lightning's hind legs wrapped in white gauze: "Don't go this time. Stay here and recover."

Lightning was obviously not satisfied with Edel's arrangement. He kept pushing his big head forward, almost pushing Edel out the door.

But this time Edel has made up his mind that he cannot let Lightning take the risk of getting injured again. Recently, there are several times more alien beasts near Star Emperor than before. Lightning has worked with him to solve hidden dangers many times and has been overloaded with work. Now he is injured. He can't bear to let Lightning go into battle with an injury.

Edel pushed Lightning's head in hard and said, "You take a rest. I'll go find Snow White."

Lightning heard this, although he was a little unhappy, he still walked back to his cage, but his eyes were still on the door.

Edel immediately rushed out of the office building. He did not notice the swift eagle flying over his head...

Qin Jiu finally stopped chasing. She gasped for air and looked at Guangming who was wandering in the back hills. She shouted, "Guangming, come back."

The light did not come back obediently, but circled in the sky over and over again, making the same sharp cry as before.

It's like discovering something and showing others the way...

Qin Jiu suddenly realized that Swift Eagles are reconnaissance-type war beasts, and their role on the battlefield is to guide the enemy's position.

Could it be that there is some terrifying existence in the back mountain?

Guangming's voice became more and more urgent, and Qin Jiu found that the position where he was hovering was getting closer and closer to him.

She looked around, only surrounded by green trees, and the shadows of the towering trees engulfed her. But strangely, there was no sound around, it was too quiet, so quiet that it seemed that there were no other living things except him and the light.

As this thought came to mind, a huge shadow slowly walked out from the depths of the woods.

Every time he took a step forward, he could hear the sound of branches breaking. He couldn't tell whether it was the sound of him stepping on dead branches on the ground or breaking branches when he pushed aside the trees.

The shadow walking towards him in the woods became clearer and clearer. It had a human face and arms, but a beastly body, horns on its head, and a pair of legs like horse legs. There were no eyeballs in its eyes, only a blank space, and blood-red liquid flowed from the corners of its eyes, which was extremely grotesque.

Qin Jiu's fist clenched with increasing force until his nails left marks on his palms.

A chill crept up her back, and she stepped back step by step until her back touched the trunk of a large tree and found support.

Is it a human? No! Is it an animal? No!

Qin Jiu could no longer find any words to define the monster in front of her. Her legs were out of control and kept shaking.

The monster's mouth was covered in blood and animal hair. Qin Jiu suspected that if she didn't leave, she would also become part of the monster's stomach.

The monster also discovered that there was a living creature. His expressionless face slowly turned until it faced Qin Jiu.

Although there were empty dark eye sockets, Qin Jiu felt that the other person was "looking" at him.

In great fear, Qin Jiu's stomach cramped slightly. She wanted to dry heave, but was afraid of the monster's sudden attack.

Why is there such a terrifying monster in the mountain behind Star Emperor?

A sense of oppression came over him, and an invisible hand tightly grasped Qin Jiu's neck. As the monster moved forward, the hand gradually tightened...

Gotta run!

Qin Jiu held onto the tree trunk to steady himself, found the way he came, and ran away.

The monster behind him saw that the prey was about to be caught and started to flee, and his pace, which was originally slowly approaching, suddenly quickened.

Under extreme pressure, Qin Jiu's senses also became extremely sensitive.

The shaking vision, the whistling wind in her ears, the sound of dead branches and leaves breaking under her feet, all the subtle information was magnified tenfold in her mind.

The sound of branches and leaves breaking, which was originally left behind by the monster, gradually became more frequent. The ground was shaking more and more violently, and the vibration caused by heavy objects falling to the ground hit Qin Jiu's heart.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Her heart almost jumped into her throat!

There was a huge gap between the two in terms of size and physical strength. The monster closed the distance between them in an instant.

Qin Jiu turned back subconsciously. The other person's face was almost touching hers. The facial features that looked like a human were distorted and deformed. Its mouth was torn to the sides until it reached the base of its ears. The adhesions were broken one by one, and blood flowed down its cheeks. It seemed that it could not feel the pain. The fangs in its bloody mouth were like sharp blades covered with blood. Qin Jiu could even feel the chill on them.

It was planning to bite off Qin Jiu's head in one bite!

Qin Jiu quickly rolled forward to avoid the monster's attack, but this also stopped him from running away.

Light swooped down from a great height, and with the keen senses of an S-class war beast, it used its hearing and smell to lock onto the monster's direction.

The monster's action of reaching out to Qin Jiu on the ground was interrupted by Guangming, which pecked a big hole in its head. Smelly blood flowed out from above. Qin Jiu found that the blood on his head was purple-black.

That is... a color unique to alien beasts!

But it is an alien beast, why does it have a human face?

Before Qin Jiu could figure out what was going on, the monster had already grabbed Guangming's wings as he attacked it again, and Guangming let out a scream.

"Light!" Qin Jiu ignored the pain in his body, climbed up, picked up a stone from beside him, and smashed it hard at the monster.

The tiny stone could not hurt the monster at all, but it just made it hesitate in swallowing the light.

It looked down at the ungrateful human, then looked at the light in its hand, and threw the light to the ground.

Humans seem to be tastier.

Qin Jiu saw it give up the light, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw it walking towards him.

Qin Jiu turned around and ran, but before she took two steps, the monster grabbed her collar.

With his feet hanging in the air, Qin Jiuru felt as desperate as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

It's over, there's no escape.

She kicked the monster's body and struggled continuously, but she was unable to move the monster at all.

The monster opened its mouth and a bloody smell rushed towards him. Being closer, Qin Jiu could even see the remains of animals in its mouth.

Guangming on the side kept chirping and struggling to get up to help Qin Jiu, but because its wings were broken, it temporarily lost the ability to fly and could only lie on the ground anxiously.

Qin Jiu's field of vision gradually narrowed, a fishy smell lingered above her head, and half of her head had been sent into the monster's mouth.

She tried to make a final struggle, and used her hands to hold the monster's mouth closed, but its sharp silver fangs pierced her palms.

The monster became even more excited after tasting her delicious blood. He let out a soft roar from his throat and was about to twist off Qin Jiu's hands that were in the way with his other hand.

The monster's bite force was also increasing little by little. Qin Jiu had reached her limit. There was a slight "crack" from her elbow. Her arm was dislocated and she lost her strength. The only light left in front of her was disappearing rapidly. The monster's mouth was about to close. Qin Jiu had no doubt that her neck would be bitten off directly.

I wonder if anyone will find out if I die here?

That shouldn't be the case. After all, she had become food in the monster's stomach, and her body wouldn't be intact even if she died.

Just when she gave up the last glimmer of hope, a familiar voice came into her ears.

"Shirayuki, hurry!"
