Bai Qingqing muttered as she pointed out the window, “I think… there’s a beastman outside who got struck by lightning…”

Parker looked outside the window and replied, “There really is a beast lying on the floor.”

He then climbed out of the window.

Bai Qingqing quickly said, “Be careful.”

Parker transformed into a leopard and vigorously jumped into the rain. Before long, he walked through the door while holding a tiger between his jaws. He then left it in the main room and didn’t enter the bedroom.

Parker shook the water off his body before transforming into a human. “I’ll let him take shelter from the rain since he gave you a green crystal.”

Bai Qingqing jumped out of Cortis’s arms and felt her way around as she walked to the main room. “Is that Vincent? Did he get struck by lightning?”

Parker sniffed and replied, “I don’t think so. He doesn’t smell like lightning.”

“How did he pass out, then?” Bai Qingqing’s hand landed on the flint beside the pile of firewood and struck it, creating a series of sparks.

Parker snatched the flint from her, and a small fire rose in the house.

At that moment, Cortis moved his snake tail and entered the main room. He looked at Vincent carefully for a moment before saying, “He’s been poisoned.”

Bai Qingqing froze. Remembering that Cortis was a venomous snake, she immediately asked, “Can you neutralize the poison?”

Cortis replied, “I can only neutralize my own poison. I remember that he rescued a female from the hands of a scorpion homeless beast, so he was probably stung by him. Since he could survive until now, it means that the poison isn’t fatal to him.”

“But he passed out.” Bai Qingqing was confused. Everyone was in their homes during this period. If Vincent was poisoned, why did he come out?

“He probably wasn’t harmed by someone, right?” Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

“Who would harm a beastman with four animal stripes? He’s a source of pride in the City of Beastmen,” Parker immediately retorted. Just as he finished speaking, he heard chaotic footsteps amidst the sound of falling rain.

“There’s a lot of beastmen outside.”

Bai Qingqing was taken aback. She then ordered firmly. “Quickly hide him.”

Parker hid Vincent in the pile of firewood.

Outside the house, a group of wolves lowered their heads as they carefully analyzed the scent.

“Howl~” The scent had disappeared here.

A group of wolves huddled together and sniffed, then looked at the stone house opposite.

“Bang bang bang—”

Hugh transformed into a human and knocked on the wooden door.

The door was forcefully flung open from the inside, causing Hugh to quickly dodge so that he wouldn’t be sent flying.

“What?” Parker asked curtly as he stared at Hugh with aggression in his eyes. This guy had the nerve to fight with him for his female. He would kill him for that one day.

Hugh’s eyes scanned the interior of the house. A fire had been lit. His expression softened when he saw Bai Qingqing seemingly trying to warm herself up. “Qingqing.”

Cortis instantly exuded a dangerous aura, narrowing his eyes as he looked towards the door.

Bai Qingqing was the only one worried about Vincent. She asked Hugh nervously, “It’s late. What are you doing here?”

Hugh replied, “Just passing by. Have you guys seen Vincent?”

Bai Qingqing secretly felt wary as she shook her head.

It was possible that Hugh didn’t harbor any ill intentions, but Vincent’s actions were too strange. It would be too risky to suddenly hand him over to beastmen of a different species. If it were tiger beastmen, she would feel slightly more relieved.

“What happened? It’s raining so heavily now. I don’t think anyone would come out,” Bai Qingqing asked tentatively.

Hugh replied, “He’s gone mad. He suddenly rushed out when the ape king was giving him treatment and bit a lot of people. It’s fine as long as you’re alright. I’ll continue looking for him.”

“Howl!”

A wolf beastman howled unhappily.

Hugh glared at the wolf coldly and said, “The rain washed away his scent. We’ll move forward and continue our search.”
