Bo Jian's expression darkened. This ambush was planned from the very beginning. His mind immediately went to the emergency message he had sent toward Dragon Beast City.
He could only hope that the message had reached them.
But when would the reinforcements arrive?
Would they even make it in time?
The situation was already rapidly spiraling out of control. Bo Jian tightened his grip on his weapon, but his attention was no longer on the cargo.
Instead, his gaze repeatedly returned to the petite figure hidden behind him.
Lan Yue!
She was the only female among their entire group. And she was carrying five tiny rabbit cubs!
Until now, the wandering beastmen hadn't noticed her presence. With so many mermen crowded together and the chaotic fighting taking place around them, her small figure remained concealed behind the males.
But that wouldn't last forever.
The moment the enemy approached with their torches, it was only a matter of time before someone discovered her.
