After Lì Cāng transformed into a snow wolf, his voice became even more resonant, like a booming bell echoing like thunder in the sky.
Su Wanxing sat on Lì Cāng's back. The cold wind blew, yet she felt warm.
When Huá Yuè's giant claws descended, she should have felt a trace of fear and trembling, but as Lì Cāng's snowy white figure sped past, she was no longer afraid.
He said, "Unless you step over his corpse!"
Her heart was struck fiercely.
"Why don't you shapeshift? Don't you have a beast form?" Huá Yuè's claws grazed Lì Cāng's body, only pulling out a few hairs.
A female fighting a male has almost no chance of winning.
Because on the Illusionary Spirit Beast Continent, females are not adept at combat; only with a one-in-ten-thousand chance do females awaken combat abilities.
Huá Yuè was not that one in ten thousand.
She only possessed the basic combat strength of the Shadow Cat Tribe.
After Su Wanxing transmigrated, she had barely thought about her own beast form, what kind of beast she was, what species she belonged to, or her past history.
Subconsciously, she didn't want to know; she still felt like a human.
She even felt that this human form was no different from her past human body!
At this moment, she suddenly wondered, "What kind of beast am I, and why don't I know? Why haven't I ever shapeshifted?"
"Your beast form is sealed!" Lì Cāng said in a low, gentle voice. "So no beast knows what your beast form is!" Lì Cāng had always known. He had seen it from the very first time.
Sealed?
"If you could shapeshift, you might be more powerful than Huá Yuè! Her Shadow Cat body couldn't have harmed you! But you definitely can't shapeshift now!"
Whatever beast she was, Lì Cāng considered her his beast. What tribe, what ability, what appearance didn't matter!
What he recognized was that unique soul!
"I'll go attack Su Wanxing. You all restrain Lì Cāng. You must restrain him!"
Lì Cāng shook his fur. His tall beast form looked down at everyone.
"Today, I'll show you what a gap is!"
His tail, over a meter long, suddenly swept through the air, carrying a powerful special ability, sending the sixth-tier Lián Fēng flying to the side.
How could the combat power of a snow wolf compare to the Beast God of the Shadow Cats?
Their speed had no advantage in front of a snow wolf. In fact, if anything was faster, it would be the snow wolf!
If they didn't have such powerful combat strength, how could they be the ruling tribe of the Northern Continent? In this world, many tribes are naturally adept at combat!
Huá Yuè's agile cat body leaped into the air, pouncing down at Su Wanxing, who was airborne. "As long as I pounce on her and get her away from Lì Cāng, no one can save her!"
She had already understood that Su Wanxing couldn't shapeshift and didn't have much combat ability!
Her previous loss to Su Wanxing was because she had used her human form.
A human form has much lower combat power than a beast form.
Xuán Yě and Mò Hé continued their encirclement. The two beasts circled Lì Cāng, pacing back and forth with cat-like steps. Suddenly, they both pounced, one from the left and one from the right.
Lì Cāng leaped into the air and flew to mid-air.
At this moment, five or six more beastmen arrived – Huá Yuè's beast husbands.
Lì Cāng narrowed his eyes, which were filled with danger. His heart turned cold. An eighth-tier peak expert fighting two seventh-tier and one sixth-tier was already his limit. Now, with five or six more, they were basically sixth-tier peak as well.
"Little Star!" Lì Cāng's deep voice rang out. "It's my fault for not protecting you!"
"I can break through to ninth-tier, but once I reach ninth-tier, I will go berserk and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!"
"Why aren't you coming to help? Anyone who dares not to help today, I will use the contract to kill you!" Huá Yuè's voice was cold, pressuring her beast husbands.
"She's not a good person, she's just an ominous beast. Don't treat her as an ordinary female; she's an enemy!"
Huá Yuè further threatened and incited them.
"The Shadow Cats are about to be exterminated. Do you still care about so much? No matter what means, as long as the Shadow Cat Tribe can be saved, that's all that matters!"
Protecting the tribe was the innate duty of the males. As much as they didn't want to fight Lì Cāng, they were persuaded by Huá Yuè at this moment.
Most beastmen aren't very cunning, but Huá Yuè was considered intelligent.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to incite so many beasts.
Even Su Wanxing briefly thought that Huá Yuè's mind was also ahead of its time? How could there be harem intrigue in the Beast World Continent? It didn't make sense!
She'd have to take time to study the Space Harem Intrigue Handbook!
One cannot improve without learning! Lagging behind leads to being beaten!
The Shadow Cats were dying, and Huá Yuè didn't know if she could survive either! But since she was going to die, why should Su Wanxing and Lì Cāng live happily, show affection, and have cubs?
She was unwilling.
In death, she wanted them to accompany her.
She had always been crazy, but the beastmen couldn't understand.
Thus, seven or eight male beasts attacked, including five Shadow Cats, one dog, and one eagle.
"Very well, flyers and runners have all gathered. Are you really trying to kill my female?"
"Lì Cāng, just drive them away! You are also from the tribe. Look at what our Shadow Cat Tribe has become. Don't you feel sad?"
Actually, Lì Cāng didn't know the specifics, but he vaguely understood that the Shadow Cat Tribe was facing an unprecedented crisis.
And they all believed that Su Wanxing had brought this crisis.
"My female is an omen of good fortune, not bad luck! My mother was healed by her! She is an emissary of the Beast God, blessed by the Beast God, and a Great Shaman!"
"If you harm her, you will be punished by the Beast God!"
Lì Cāng tried to awaken them.
But Huá Yuè was too skilled at swaying hearts.
"An emissary who can't shapeshift? Has any of you seen someone blessed by the Beast God without a beast form? Which Great Shaman would be branded with the mark of a sinner?"
"Lì Cāng, wake up! She's not a good beast!"
"Shadow Cats, we are of the same race. This disease... he can say it so easily because he doesn't have to die! What if we let her go and our Shadow Cat tribe is exterminated?"
"Can you afford to gamble?"
Although the previous rumors hadn't caused a major stir, seeds of doubt had been sown in everyone's hearts. Coupled with the current spreading disease, almost everyone had loved ones who had already died or were about to die.
Within a few days, the speed was so fast it drove them to despair!
Lì Cāng's mother, Shān Lán, was infected differently and lived far away, thus narrowly escaping the disaster.
Su Wanxing quietly took out a weapon from her space – a projectile prepared by the Interstellar Alliance for all transmigrators.
If they pushed her too far, she would bombard Huá Yuè and these beasts.
Let them know what interstellar weapons and dimensional strikes were!
Unless absolutely necessary, Su Wanxing didn't want to reach this point, as these Shadow Cats were all Lì Cāng's tribesmen, beasts he grew up with.
But if they threatened her life, she would send them to see the Beast God without hesitation.
"You are not allowed to upgrade to ninth-tier!"
Su Wanxing's temper flared. She finally found a weapon from her space that wasn't very damaging but was very effective – a tranquilizer gun.
She needed to properly examine her space sometime. What had the Interstellar Alliance prepared? What she had seen so far was just the tip of the iceberg!
"Don't take risks, I have a solution!"
Lì Cāng was already preparing to upgrade. His powerful special ability was constantly surging; he had been suppressing it for a long time.
Because after reaching ninth-tier, he would need a female's purification.
However, in the tribe, there was no female who could purify and appease a ninth-tier beast.
So he had remained at eighth-tier peak.
If he upgraded to ninth-tier, this group of beasts would be no match for him.
"What solution could you possibly have? You can't even shapeshift! I can't let you get hurt! I will send you to a nearby safe cave before I go berserk!"
As for the future, it would likely be a final farewell!
"Silly! I'm not that kind of female beast who can only be protected by a male!"
Actually, when she was in interstellar space, Su Wanxing had extensive wilderness survival experience and had undergone mech training.
Because on their home planet, they could encounter mutated insects and wild beasts at any time.
Therefore, they needed to possess basic combat capabilities. Every university student participated in military training.
It could be said to be universal military training.
Her innate combat cells were activated by them.
Although she wasn't an outstanding graduate, she didn't fail! She successfully graduated too!
Interstellar military training at a passing level was sufficient in the Beast World!
She had experienced planetary wars, separation from loved ones, transmigrating alone, and witnessing the annihilation of billions of people on her home planet.
She suffered severe psychological trauma and had some PTSD, making her just want to live quietly.
But suddenly she felt that no matter which world she was in, she couldn't live safely and quietly.
As a special outsider from another dimension, she would inevitably attract attention.
Since she couldn't live quietly, she would fight.
She raised the tranquilizer gun and said to Lì Cāng, "Help me fight Huá Yuè!"
Although Lì Cāng couldn't see her movements, his special ability coverage was his eyes.
He roughly understood what Su Wanxing was about to do. He trusted her unconditionally. He shifted his beast form, and instantly Su Wanxing faced Huá Yuè directly.
Su Wanxing smiled, "Let me see who is more formidable – the interstellar mutated beasts or you, Huá Yuè!"
