Only then did Molly’s heart truly sink, the color of blood drained from her face.
Shivering with fright, she sat on the floor and shifted backward as she cried, “Don’t come over!”
Twitching his mouth, Carl—in his beast form—arched his lips sarcastically, like an expression you might see on a human. However, when placed on the face of a tiger, it looked grotesque.
He opened his tiger mouth.
“Ah—!”
Amid the female’s high-pitched screams, the furious roar of a tiger rang from not far away.
Carl looked up and saw a one-eared tiger sprint towards them with a bloody mouth. Behind him was an abandoned large-sized prey.
The ironic thing was, that prey could feed two males.
Molly’s expression eased. She looked over and shouted delightedly, “Edgar, come and rescue me!”
Roar! Edgar let out a furious roar as he leaped into the air to pounce towards Carl.
Carl crouched his body to dodge. Then, at an incredible speed, he appeared next to Edgar. He raised his front claws and leaped at him.
The smile on Molly’s face had just bloomed when Edgar was pounced onto the ground. Carl sank his teeth ferociously into his waist, and a large patch of blood spewed out.
Huff! Edgar struggled to pry himself away from the mouth of his enemy, losing a big slab of his flesh as a result. He twisted his head and pounced over at Carl.
Molly was completely frozen. In the past, Edgar had always been more formidable than Carl. Why did he lose so quickly now?
She got to her feet in a stumbling manner. She had just turned around to run when the vigorous exercise caused two streaks of bright red blood to drip down her legs.
Carl and Edgar cast a glance at her while fighting, before pouncing at each other and biting the opponent ferociously. Edgar, with his enormous body, crashed to the ground.
Gazing at the stumbling figure of the female, he struggled and wanted to get up and fight again, but Carl bit him in the leg and sent him flying.
Carl licked his claws and gave chase. Shortly after, he appeared behind the female. Then, like how a predator killed its prey, he mercilessly pounced and pinned her to the ground with his front claws.
“Hurts!” Molly moaned.
[Hurts?] The fingernails in Carl’s claws spread open, and underneath them, blood droplets instantly appeared. The female’s painful gasps could be heard once more.
Pleased to see the body trembling underneath his claws, Carl licked heavily upon Molly’s back. [There’ll be more pain in the future. Don’t die on me now.]
With that, he bit the female’s clothes and broke into a sprint, completely disregarding the female’s painful screams due to being dragged along.
The tiger’s roars spread far away, catching the attention of several tiger beastmen standing guard at the nearby Flos Eriocauli field. They looked at each other, before dispatching half to go over and check out what was going on.
Very quickly they found Edgar with scarcely any breath left on him. His claws were maintained in a forward crawling position. However, he could no longer move ahead an inch.
[Rescue Molly…] After saying these two words, Edgar closed his heavy eyelids.
Roar!
Roar!
The tiger roars reverberated throughout the entire village.
Winston’s countenance changed. Throwing aside the tools used for polishing rocks, he transformed into a tiger and rushed back to the village.
[What happened?] he asked with a solemn face.
The tribal head, who was about to head out, held back his anxiety only because it was the tiger king. [Molly has been abducted by Carl.]
[That’s terrible.] Winston glanced in the direction of his home, then said, [Help me inform Qingqing. I’ll go and rescue her myself. Stay around to protect the village.]
Knowing he was inferior to the tiger king and that the chances of successfully rescuing his female cub were the highest if the tiger king went, the tribal head said gratefully, [Okay.]
Winston turned around and sprinted out of the village. From the skies came the screech of a peacock.
