Lilly was amazed by what she witnessed. What is happening here?
Squeaky had just returned home, but it had already been wrapped up as a present and given to the mouse she had defeated.
"Are you really Squeaky's father?" Lilly looked at the large mouse suspiciously. "Why aren't you even asking Squeaky for her opinion?"
The Beast King was becoming impatient with Lilly, so it huffed imperiously and stated coldly, "Is there a reason why she would object to this? My decision is for her own good!"
As the leader of the tribe, it naturally had priority in terms of mating rights. Therefore, all the female beasts in the group naturally belonged to the King.
Red Fur's promise was already a display of respect towards Squeaky. So, what right did she have to refuse such a generous proposal?
Squeaky couldn't believe it. Yet, it also seemed to have an epiphany.
It realized that its sire, the Beast King, hadn't accepted it out of love or acknowledgment.
It thought that by passing its father's test, its father would treat it like a cherished child.
Unfortunately, it turned out that it was just a tool for excellent breeding, worthy of being given away to the next generation of Beast King as nothing more than a gift!
As long as it was the mother, it could produce a stronger Beast King in the future. That was definitely what its father was thinking, right?
Didn't its father say that it would become the little Beast King? That even a little Beast King would still be King?
Tears unknowingly filled Squeaky's eyes as the proud image of its father in its heart shattered into a million pieces.
"I'm not going back with you." Squeaky stepped away from the Beast King and firmly stuck with Lilly. "I don't want you as my father!"
The Beast King didn't expect it to dare to say such words!
"Outrageous!" it snarled angrily. "I am your father!"
If it hadn't seen Squeaky subdue the Four Mythical Creatures, how could it, as the Beast King, allow such a weak creature to return to the tribe?
Yet, the greedy little thing was still not satisfied with its benevolence!
Squeaky leaned against Lilly sadly, apologizing for not being able to secure a refuge for her.
Lilly whispered, "It's okay. Let's go then."
When she learned that Squeaky's family was here, she had originally hoped that Squeaky could return home. Who knew that things would turn out this way?
"Stop!" The Beast King refused to let Squeaky go. "Did I allow you to leave? You're a Flame Beast! How can you not return to your tribe and insist on mingling with a human? How could you tarnish our reputation?!"
Squeaky publicly rejected the Beast King as its father, causing the Beast King to endure great humiliation.
It was utterly infuriated.
Before it could say anything, a sharp arrow of water shot through the air and hit the Beast King's face!
The enraged Beast King almost had its eye shot out. Its face twisted drastically as it roared in warning, "The Stingers are attacking! Take defensive positions!"
The Flame Beasts emitted sharp cries one after another. Soon, a red wall of fire was formed.
Red Fur stood at the top of this wall, lifted its front legs, and roared, "Hold!"
Lilly's heart tightened at the urgency as she turned her head to see a group of giant beasts surrounding them.
Their bodies were like huge metal balls with a diameter of over 40 inches. As they rolled closer, they unfolded themselves. Honestly, they resembled giant worms with legs.
Their shells looked extremely tough. They were covered with what seemed like nine large scales. Nonetheless, considering the light glinting off the edges, they were most likely as sharp as a blade.
These fearsome creatures also had tentacles with sharp barbs at the tips. Hence, they could easily capture and tear apart the slow Flame Beasts with just a flick!
Squeaky and Speedy had never seen such massive monsters before. So, they couldn't help but huddle together and shake in fear.
