Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Fierce Battle

Everyone could see that this was a ruse to lure the tiger from the mountain.

But they had no choice but to take the bait.

That Black Soul Spider was not just an SS-level Beastman, but one whose beast form was venomous.

The only one who could handle him was Yun Xie. If Yun Xie didn’t move the battle outside, Jiang Qin might accidentally inhale the toxin.

For a male Beastman, this toxin was at worst a near-death experience; as long as they made it to a hospital, they could be treated.

But for a female, it was likely a fatal poison.

A female’s Physique simply couldn’t withstand the Black Soul Spider’s toxin.

So Yun Xie had no choice but to walk into the trap the enemy had set.

And Lan Yuyan was the only male who could deal with Fox Ear.

Both were masters of speed.

Any other Beastman facing Fox Ear would just be run ragged. Fox Ear could run two laps before others had even finished half of one.

Therefore, only Lan Yuyan could keep him occupied.

This attack was clearly the result of a collaboration between several Star Thief groups, and it was likely that someone from the Federation had opened the door for them.

Otherwise, with the Law Enforcement Team conducting such a thorough search, it would have been impossible for so many people to enter Central City.

But a planet is an immense place, and the distribution of power on the Main Star was chaotic.

Every city was controlled by one of the major families.

The people who were originally driven out of the Empire gathered together and established the Federation, becoming its first generation of nobles.

Too much power was distributed back then, causing the current Federation leaders to be constrained in many areas.

Unlike the Empire, with its strict aristocratic hierarchy.

For those Star Thieves, finding a way to sneak onto the Main Star was easy.

After all, not all Federation people cared about collective honor.

Most only cared about their own interests.

“Qinqin, don’t be afraid. This time, no one will take you from me unless I’m dead.”

Shi Lichuan’s tone was firm, filled with the determination to take them down with him if necessary.

But Jiang Qin disagreed. “If your life is in danger, then hand me over first. Didn’t they say they want me alive?

“That means my life is guaranteed. At a critical moment, survival is the priority. There’s only hope if you’re alive.”

“As long as you’re all alive, someone will come to save me. But if you all die, who else in this world would risk everything for me?”

Shi Lichuan, who had been stubbornly prepared to fight to the death, hesitated at Jiang Qin’s last sentence.

’We don’t know the current situation of the two who were lured away. If something really happens to the three of us, what will Qinqin do?’

’Just as she said, besides the three of us, who else would risk everything for her?’

’She only has the three of us as her mates…’

Soon, Shi Lichuan had no more time to think, because the Beastmen targeting him had finally appeared.

A Nine-headed Woodpecker Beastman and a Heavy Armored Wolf.

The Nine-headed Woodpecker Genes had always been classified as the genes of the mentally ill.

This was because a Beastman with these Genes had nine heads in their beast form, and in their human form, they had nine personalities.

In other words, congenital schizophrenia.

This type of Beastman was too dangerous; no one ever knew which personality would be in control from one moment to the next.

Furthermore, you couldn’t kill the other personalities. Once a personality was killed, one of the beast form’s heads would also be severed.

Such a Beastman would become a crippled beast, relegated to the lowest rungs of society.

However, in both the Federation and the Empire, whenever a citizen was found to have the Nine-headed Woodpecker Beastman Gene, they were given two choices.

One was to go to prison and never set foot in society again.

The other was to voluntarily give up eight heads and become a crippled Beastman.

Therefore, neither nation could accommodate the Nine-headed Woodpecker Beastmen. They defected en masse and went to the Chaotic Star.

There, they joined the Star Thieves in kidnapping numerous females, ultimately allowing their Genes to continue.

As for the Heavy Armored Wolf, its beast form was similar to Shi Lichuan’s—a wolf covered in Bone Armor.

Its Bone Armor was heavy plating, and its sharp claws were the perfect tools for piercing that armor!

The Nine-headed Woodpecker’s beaks were also sharp weapons. One peck could create a bloody hole, let alone nine heads pecking at once.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Lichuan’s beast form was covered in blood.

But he still showed no intention of fighting back, because if he did, Jiang Qin would be exposed to their line of sight.

Watching all this through her Xiao Bee, Jiang Qin’s heart ached.

’Passive, again and again, yet powerless to fight back.’

’In the end, it’s because I alone can’t stand against a group attack.’

’Our team is just too weak, after all.’

Just as she was about to tell Shi Lichuan to let her out, a pure black Mecha smashed through the wall and charged in.

This was the first time Jiang Qin had seen a Mecha in real life!

She had to admit, seeing a Mecha in reality was completely different from seeing one on a screen.

It was a supreme visual shock.

A cold giant, its entire body exuding the sharp edge of high technology, possessed a lethality that surpassed the human form.

The Mecha pilot wasted no time with words, charging directly at the Nine-headed Woodpecker.

To dodge the attack, the Nine-headed Woodpecker had to abandon its assault and fly into the air.

Just then, a Black-winged Lion suddenly crashed in from outside, slamming into its body and sending it flying out of the villa to smash onto the ground.

It was Cang Hong…

With support from his legion, he had finally shaken off the group of stealth-flying Beastmen and reached the villa.

He happened upon this scene and decisively chose to launch a sneak attack.

“Admiral Mo, I’ll hold off this bird! You take care of the wolf first!”

“Alright,” a deep voice replied from within the Mecha.

With the two of them here, Shi Lichuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Qin said with a pained heart, “We’re safe now. Let me go so you can treat your wounds.”

The giant bear shook its head, the youthful voice a stark contrast to its rugged appearance.

“Let’s wait until Yun Xie or Lan Yuyan gets back.”

’I can’t trust anyone else.’

’Other Beastmen might protect Jiang Qin, but only because she’s a female and a citizen of the Federation.’

’They would only do their best; they wouldn’t risk their lives for her, nor could they be as attentive as they would with their own mate.’

That was why he only trusted the other two who were also Jiang Qin’s mates.

Jiang Qin was helpless. She could only control her Xiao Bee to search for her other two mates, wanting to see how their battles were going.

Yun Xie and the SS-level male hadn’t gone far; they were right near the villa.

Their battle was brutal. The Flood Dragon’s body was coiled around the Black Soul Spider.

The ground was littered with blood, scales, spider legs, and silk. Both had been poisoned by the other.

That’s right, Yun Xie’s true form was also venomous.

After all, it had mutated into a deep purple color. No one would believe it wasn’t poisonous.

Although it seemed neither had gained an advantage, Yun Xie clearly had the upper hand. The Black Soul Spider had three of its legs broken and was already showing signs of wanting to retreat.

But tightly coiled by the Flood Dragon’s body, it couldn’t move at all and could only resort to biting with its mouthparts.

Yun Xie wasn’t having an easy time either, as his body was also enveloped in spider silk.

The silk strands were like blades, leaving his Flood Dragon body covered in cuts.
