Chapter 667: Chapter 667: The Cause and Consequence of the Five Beasts’ Fury (4)_1

Mao Tuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, like two small lanterns ignited in the dark night. It let out an excited tiger roar and, with bouncy steps, approached the bandits step by step. Its sharp gaze swept over each of the bandits as if assessing which one’s bones were the hardest.

The aura of extreme danger emanating from Mao Tuan caused each bandit its gaze touched to feel as if they would be pounced upon and pinned to the ground in the next moment, their flesh torn piece by piece by tiger claws to reveal chilling white bones. The mere thought of such a scene sent shivers down the bandits’ spines, causing them to step back unconsciously in fear.

As if annoyed by Mao Tuan’s slow pace, Mo Yan chided leisurely, "Hurry up, don’t dawdle. We still need to go home and sleep!"

Mao Tuan, upon hearing this, no longer hesitated and approached a thin bandit with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks. Among the group, it was his restless eyes that shifted about most uneasily, constantly elbowing backward. Such a person, with many schemes in mind, might fear nothing else, but the fear of death was certain. To kill one as an example to the others, he couldn’t be more suitable.

Xue tuanzi in Space watched the man and beast working in tandem with malicious glee and laughed so hard it fell over. However, what Mao Tuan did next wiped the smile right off its face.

The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks, seeing Mao Tuan approaching step by step, turned ashen, overwhelmed by despair. The wrenching pain from his limbs bitten off earlier surged back, causing him to shiver uncontrollably, his shrill voice like that of a bride about to be violated: "Don’t, don’t come over, don’t you dare—ah—"

Before the man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks could finish his plea, Mao Tuan’s thick paw flicked lightly and pinned him down, followed by a ruthless claw strike to his groin.

...

When ten Dark Guards finally followed the trail and found the scene, Mo Yan had already extracted the mastermind behind the attack and was busy sprinkling packets of powder over the bandits writhing on the ground, appearing like a compassionate maiden healing the suffering people to the unaware.

Mo Yan was indeed treating the bandits’ wounds to ensure they wouldn’t die on the way to the Government Office, as she and Mao Tuan would bear the karma otherwise. However, she had Mao Tuan press heavily on the bandits to prevent any thrashing, and the Sanqi Powder she sprinkled on their wounds had an added ingredient, bringing them agony beyond words.

Each of these men had at least one life on their hands; Mo Yan had never intended to let them off easily.

When Mo Yan saw the sudden appearance of ten Dark Guards, her hand sprinkling the powder jerked violently. She then realized that if these men had harbored ill intentions, the five beasts would have pounced already. Her heart, which had been suspended in anxiety, settled back into place.

The ten Dark Guards watched in awe, the ghastly wails echoing in their ears told them that this seemingly fragile maiden was not to be trifled with. Her ability to terrify the utterly wicked bandits and maintain such composure was not something ordinary people could achieve even if they tried their hardest.

If Mo Yan knew this was their assessment of her, she would probably have laughed non-stop. She dared to venture here in the middle of the night to rescue people and dealt ruthlessly with the bandits solely because she had Space and the five beasts to rely on. Without these assets, she wouldn’t have dared take the risk, even with a hundredfold more courage.

With thirty or forty more people yet to be tended to, Mo Yan unhesitatingly handed the Sanqi Powder to the Dark Guards and said indifferently, "You’ve arrived just in time. After finishing applying the medicine, kindly take these bandits to the Government Office. Of course, if there is a better place for them, you are free to deal with it as you see fit."

The Dark Guards looked at each other, expecting that the maiden would at least inquire about who their masters were. However, she seemed to have everything figured out and directly issued commands! Indeed, there was a reason why she was valued by those three.

Thinking so, the ten Dark Guards bowed in unison and responded, "Yes!"

Seeing them actually comply without any sign of dissatisfaction, Mo Yan confirmed her guess and couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile on her face. At the moment, she thought all ten were sent by Xiao Ruiyuan to protect her family, unaware that among them were also men from Yan Junyu and Chu Heng.

Leaving the bandits in the hands of the Dark Guards, Mo Yan and Mo Qingze led the still somewhat frightened children back through the night.

This time there were too many people, and the five beasts, being naturally proud, allowed Mo Qingze to ride on them only as a favor to Mo Yan. They would under no circumstances let these scruffy children climb on as well, and Mo Yan naturally didn’t force the issue, as this would be an insult to the five beasts.

However, since the children were now aware of the five beasts’ existence and, despite their initial fear, had slowly let go of it, realizing that it was the five beasts who had saved them, they even began to admire them with stars in their eyes.

Watching the five beasts leading the way up ahead, the children forgot their fears for a moment and excitedly discussed among themselves, not finding the mountainous trail difficult anymore.

Mo Yan and Mo Qingze each carried one of the smallest children who couldn’t walk, listening to the children’s innocent talk with smiles that never left their faces.

When scared, they cry; when happy, they laugh. The world of children is that simple!
