Chapter 465: Chapter 466: Old Affairs 3

The beast, throat agape, bared its bloody maw at Hai Qin, letting out a furious roar. It clearly didn’t appreciate what he’d just done.

Then it raised a claw, ready to swipe at Hai Qin. But he was so close and had no time to react. He could only watch as the lethal claw lunged towards him.

Instinctively, he raised an arm in front of him. He could already feel the wind rustled by the raising claw, and the foul, unique odour of the wild beast.

But the expected searing pain did not come. Instead, the beast roared angrily yet again, in a different direction, making his ears painfully ring.

Hai Qin looked up to see a Beastman with silver hair, his face blurred. There was a constant twinkling of a golden light in his hand. Each time it hit the wild beast, it let out a piercing scream of agony.

The silver-haired Beastman had completely drawn the attention of the wild beast. He managed to steal a glance at Hai Qin and called, "Get out of here!"

Like being jolted awake from a dream, Aqi urgently pulled Hai Qin away from the beast.

They ran a fair distance and only stopped when they felt the beast could no longer catch up.

Aqi was white as a sheet, she panted, "God, that scared me to death. What was that thing? Why didn’t your superpower work on it?"

Hai Qin looked pale too, he shook his head, "I don’t know..."

Aqi calming her racing heart, "Thanks to that Beastman earlier, we might have been killed or injured."

They could still hear the clear howl of the wild beast. It seemed somewhat exasperated.

Hai Qin’s eyes twinkle, "I want to go back and check, I’m worried about him being there alone..."

Aqi paused. She bowed her head, "Are you sure we won’t be a burden to him?"

The screeching of the wild beast in the distance grew more violent. The fight between sounded like it had reached a climax.

Hai Qin couldn’t wait any longer, he gritted his teeth and moved back, "Aqi, we can’t leave him behind. He fought the beast to save us. The Chief always said that we have to follow our conscience, no matter what we do."

Aqi mustered up her courage. She nodded briskly, "Right! Let’s go back!"

Thus, they retraced their steps.

However, they hadn’t walked down the path they had previously fled from when they bumped into the silver-haired Beastman again.

Both parties were stunned.

The unknown wild beast in the distance was still howling. Aqi took the initiative to speak, "How come you’re here?"

The Beastman’s lips thinned, he responded coldly, "Where should I be?"

Hai Qin quickly explained, "Aqi didn’t mean it that way. You fought the beast to save us just now, and from the roars we heard, we thought you were struggling. So, we came back to help you. We didn’t expect to run into you here. That wild beast earlier was..."

The Beastman nodded slightly, "That was a Spiky Oxen Beast. It has exceptional defense, average attack power, large size but quite clumsy, has poor eyesight, and a bad temper. I only teased it a few times before I escaped. It’s probably throwing a tantrum right now, no need to worry about it, it will be fine by tomorrow."

Aqi listened, utterly dumbfounded.

The Spiky Oxen Beast that the Beastman in front of her described, was it the same species as the one they’d just encountered? From his account, the Spiky Oxen Beast didn’t sound scary at all. In fact, it seemed to be a different creature altogether from the one they’d initially encountered.

Hai Qin was silent. He had a feeling that the silver-haired Beastman was insinuating something about them, but he had no evidence!
