The Beast King remembered that Squeaky possessed the Four Mythical Creature totem, which gave it a glimmer of hope. With Squeaky present, there was still a chance for the tribe to survive.
To its dismay, the Beast King saw Squeaky happily scavenging with a human child.
"What are you doing?!" the Beast King roared. "Your tribe is being slaughtered. Hurry up and protect them!" The small ghost beast scratched a large piece of shrimp with its two tiny paws before pointing at itself. "Squeak?" Was the Beast King talking to it? The Beast King was furious. Who else could it be talking to? The tribe was being brutally massacred, yet Squeaky seemed indifferent. Did it not want to return to the tribe? "Guarding the tribe is your responsibility!" The Beast King blocked a strike from the Stinger's Beast King, causing it to stagger back. Then, he snarled in frustration, "Hurry up and help! Kill it!" The small ghost beast pouted.
It had wanted to return home and be with its tribe.
However, it had just cut off ties with its father.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Beast King had only seen it as a tool to protect the tribe and a breeding factory.
Besides, earlier, when there were so many mice present, none of them had stood up to defend it.
So, why should it protect such a tribe? The small ghost beast ignored the Beast King and continued to scavenge the Stinger's carcasses. When it was satisfied with a particular body, it quickly stored it in the collar hanging around its neck.
The Beast King was about to lose its mind! How dare Squeaky claim that it had nothing to do with the battle?! "In the name of the tribe's Beast King, | command you!" the Beast King angrily pounced toward the small ghost beast. "Guarding the tribe is your responsibility! You have my blood flowing through you! You are my offspring! You have no choice but to obey my orders!" When the Beast King pounced, the Stinger's Beast King also leaped into action! The Beast King didn't care if Squeaky could withstand the other party's attack. Instead, it grabbed Squeaky and threw it toward the Stinger's Beast King! The small ghost beast's fur stood on end as it soared through the air! Lilly's aura was different. Plus, she had been surrounded by Stingers when she came out to scavenge. Meanwhile, Squeaky, the small ghost beast, didn't attract much attention from the Stingers.
Besides, once she regained her strength, she became familiar with battling the Stingers. So, she fearlessly fought off the surrounding Stingers with Dragon Fang in hand.
She was thinking about getting more seafood when she suddenly saw the Beast King leaping at Squeaky in a fit of rage. She immediately swung her sword and killed the Stingers surrounding her before dashing toward the small ghost beast.
The small ghost beast had already activated its totem in a panic. Sure enough, one of the Four Mythical Creatures, the White Tiger, roared ferociously as it bit into the neck of the Stinger's Beast King. Shortly after, they began tearing at each other! The Stinger's Beast King was incredibly powerful. Although it hadn't reached the Ninth-level Perfection stage, its cultivation was still on par with the small ghost beast.
Squeaky was slightly struggling during the fight. Nonetheless, it wasn't about to back down. It was confident as its Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird were still safely chilling in their totem.
Speedy rushed over without hesitation, swinging its legs. "Let me help you!" Squeaky leaped up. Its eyes glinted with determination as it squeaked, "I'm good!" Wow, | didn't even notice before, but this Beast King is massive! Its cultivation was also impressive! I have to kill it! Then, my young master can roast and eat it! The Four Mythical Creatures all appeared, causing the already chaotic battle to escalate. Although the Stinger's Beast King put up a fight, it ended up with its blood splattered on the ground and its flesh torn apart! In the end, the Azure Dragon twisted the Beast King's head off. Then, Squeaky, with its tiny paws, lifted the headless Beast King as it squeaked in victory, "Squeak!" Wasn't it amazing?! This Stinger's Beast King had to be the most delicious Stinger of them all! Lilly gave it a thumbs-up! At the same time, the Flame Beasts were all stunned.
They saw that tiny little mouse killing enemies left and right. Eventually, it even decapitated the enemy's Beast King with just a few moves...
The Stinger's head was twisted right off! This scene was too impactful, searing it into their minds. A fist-sized mouse hunting down a Beast King a hundred times its size was undoubtedly shocking.
The large mice erupted in cheers. On the other hand, Red Fur, who was struggling against the enemy, felt a hint of resentment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis female was stealing its thunder again! It would be the one being praised if it had cooperated with the Beast King to repel the enemy.
Yet, all of that glory had been given to an actual mouse! It couldn't accept this reality.
Lilly and Squeaky didn't care whether it could accept this fact. They were just after a bite to eat! Therefore, they promptly disappeared once their respective storage areas were filled to the brim.
Meanwhile, the Beast King felt relieved when it saw Squeaky twisting off the Stinger's Beast King's head up close! I knew it. All of that nonsense earlier was just her causing trouble. In the end, that little thing still recognizes its own kind. Look, it has protected the tribe, hasn't it? Where had all that bravery gone earlier? If it had just resisted, it would have thrown a celebration banquet for Squeaky and rewarded it with the food it had stored away.
Instead, this rebellious thing had to force it to get angry before finally standing up to fight the Stinger's Beast King.
The Beast King breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the tribe had been saved! Since Squeaky was sticking around, it didn't matter if they had suffered heavy losses this time. The Flame Beasts had won! That meant it was still a prestigious Beast King that all respected! But the Beast King was living in a fantasy when it saw Lilly and Squeaky disappearing while dragging the Stinger's Beast King carcass away.
Everyone fell into a shocked stupor before blinking at the vanished Squeaky in complete confusion.
The Stingers were the first to react. Upon witnessing the demise of their Beast King, they were consumed by a frenzy! They all charged towards the Flame Beasts, driven by the determination to avenge their fallen leader.
The Beast King never anticipated such an outcome. In this moment, it felt utterly betrayed and furious.
Very well then. So be it! It never paid heed to its diminutive stature. Yet, it dared to betray its own kind at such a crucial juncture?! Henceforth, it can bid farewell to any hopes of returning to the tribe! The tribe would never acknowledge its existence for generations to come! No matter how remorseful or sorrowful it becomes, the tribe would never accept it again. It mattered not how mighty or illustrious its accomplishments would be, as the tribe would forever shun it!
