CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: THE FEMALE HAS GONE MAD!

Seeing Wu Xuan hanging lifelessly at the edge of the mountain cliff, chest pierced by sharp claws, Wen Shu stood before the Eagle Beast, fearing it would throw him down the cliff, not daring to approach abruptly.

She kept a close eye on the Eagle Beast’s movements, glancing at Wu Xuan’s complexion from the corner of her eye.

The blood-red lines had not disappeared, but seemed to tear his face apart. Due to intense pain, he frowned deeply, nostrils weakly flaring, as if he might lose his breath at any moment.

Wen Shu’s heart tightened, forcing herself to calm down.

She soothed her tense throat, meeting the terrifying blue eyes of the Eagle Beast. Her tone, though calm, revealed a trace of trembling urgency, "Let him go; I’ll go with you to the Blood Alliance to meet your leader."

She roughly guessed that the villain wasn’t after her life; otherwise, this group of Blood Beasts would have already made a deadly move.

Yet the Eagle Beast remained completely still, its scrutinizing gaze sweeping over her face. A hint of cruelty flashed in its blue eyes, and a mocking smile tugged at its lips, "Hehe..."

In the silent dense forest, its sinister laughter was hair-raising.

Wen Shu frowned lightly, faintly sensing that this male might not be as obedient to the villain as she thought.

The next moment, the Eagle Beast’s words confirmed her suspicion. It lifted Wu Xuan high, a bloodthirsty gleam flashing in its eyes, squeezing out a few words through its teeth, "To capture you, I’ve lost so many subordinates... Today, you all must die!"

As soon as the words fell, the Eagle Beast swung its claws, about to hurl Wu Xuan off the cliff.

"Wait! I can heal them!"

A trembling, stopping voice of the female echoed at the cliff edge, making E Jia pause his action, looking inquisitively at the tattered female.

Her entire animal skin was coated with dirt, wet strands clinging to her forehead, a bright red scar ran from the corner of her eye to her chin. Her features were still somewhat delicate, but far from stunning.

He couldn’t understand what kind of enchantment Luo Fei had fallen under, to sacrifice so many of his men for such a female!

Could it be that he discovered something?

Or... does this female truly have something special?

Seeing the Eagle Beast pause, Wen Shu feared it didn’t believe her and seriously repeated, "I can heal them."

E Jia’s cold gaze lingered on her face, then shifted to his few severely injured cronies.

This group of Blood Beasts was personally recruited by him; already, a Tiger Beast had died. If a few more Fifth-tier Beasts were to die, his status in the Blood Beast Tribe would certainly plummet.

If this female truly has such an ability...

Weighing the matter for a few seconds in his mind, E Jia narrowed his eyes, using a contemptuous look to indicate, his hoarse voice coldly stating, "Bring him back to life."

His sight landed on the most severely injured male among the Blood Beasts, a young Wolf Beast with red fur.

Due to being at the forefront, his abdomen was torn open, exposing wet red intestines, the fur around charred and curled black.

Despite such severe injuries, he wasn’t unconscious, his dark pupils drooping, nostrils gently panting, hearing someone approaching, he warily lifted his eyelids.

In his dark eyes, the silhouette of a female was reflected. First, he was stunned, then bared pointed teeth, attempting to scare the female away.

But the Wolf Beast couldn’t move at all. Wen Shu walked closer without hesitation, squatting down, placing a hand on his abdomen under his wary gaze.

The Wolf Beast’s injuries were severe. Wen Shu didn’t hold back her strength, light flowed in her palm, pouring into the Wolf Beast’s body, the abundant power surprising her a bit.

She originally thought that upon advancing to the Fourth Rank, her energy would only increase slightly as before, yet she could mobilize nearly half of her power.

Fluttering light patterns brushed over her face, dyeing her fluttering hair with gentle light, illuminating her amber eyes.

Feeling waves of warm energy running through his body, the Wolf Beast comfortably curled his tail, his dark eyes dazedly gazing at her gentle face, deep confusion surfacing in his eyes.

He hid his bared fangs, his furry ears drooping, indulging in an untimely daydream. But before he could ask the female anything, the healing was already over.

His ears perked up, but Wen Shu didn’t even glance at him, swept a glance at his abdomen, then stood up immediately, frowning at the dark-faced E Jia, "You saw, as long as you release Wu Xuan, I can help you heal them."

Witnessing the female heal the Wolf Beast, the hesitation in E Jia’s eyes disappeared, a slanted smile tugged at his lips, "No wonder... This is truly a surprise!"

His hoarse voice rose a few degrees, a dark gleam flashed in his eyes, already calculating his plans.

His gaze fervently locked onto Wen Shu, a chuckling sound echoing from his throat, "Female, the Blood Beast Tribe welcomes your addition!"

Wen Shu met his malevolent gaze, glanced at Wu Xuan, speaking in a low voice, "Now, you can release him."

With that glance, a strong unease surged in her heart, Wu Xuan’s limbs were stiff, lips already turning blue, there was no more time to delay.

"Give him back to me!"

She pressed her lips tightly, suddenly lunging forward to seize, only to have her arm securely clamped.

The blood-red lips of E Jia curled into a cruel arc, raising his arm high, feigning unwillingness as he said, "Such a pitiful female..."

He chuckled lightly, the tail end of his voice carrying a malicious sarcasm, "Say farewell to your Beast Husband."

Realizing his meaning, Wen Shu’s heart jumped fiercely, her fingertips instantly transforming into sharp claws, fiercely slashing towards the Eagle Beast!

The arm tightly gripping her was severed cleanly, blood splattering across her face, the Eagle Beast’s contemptuous look suddenly froze, emitting a harsh cry of pain.

Taking advantage of his pain, Wen Shu circled past him, lunging towards Wu Xuan, but she was still a step too late, the charred body of the male slipping from her fingertips, plummeting straight towards the bottom of the cliff!

"Wu Xuan!"

Watching in agony as the body pierced through the clouds, Wen Shu’s pupils shrank, taking in the situation at the cliff’s edge, without thinking, she jumped down after him.

Witnessing the female leap off the cliff, every male present held their breath.

Their hearts simultaneously filled with shock; never had a female gone to such lengths for their Beast Husband!

Lucius, who had been watching from the treetops, also pressed his lips tightly.

Watching the direction where the female disappeared, it felt as though a heavy stone had been placed upon his heart, an indescribable heaviness nearly suffocating him.

This female was outright crazy!

Lucius lowered his white eyelashes, glanced at his fingertips, and suddenly moved; the female couldn’t die... They still had a mate contract!

A white shadow abruptly streaked across, leaping straight off the cliff, the Blood Beasts didn’t even see his movement clearly.

E Jia, clutching his arm, walked closer, looking down the cliff, where those three figures had already vanished into the clouds, not a trace could be seen.

His eyes darkened, pondering how to explain this to Luo Fei, when a sudden gust of cold wind swept up behind him.

A gaze fell lightly upon his back, dense cold suddenly climbing up his spine, leaving E Jia frozen in place, throat parched with tension.

Before he could break free from the stiffness, a strong, fierce wind rushed overhead, a pair of massive black wings obscuring the sky and sun, with a chilling wind fearfully diving rapidly towards the bottom of the cliff.
