Chapter 309 Preparing to Self-Destruct
The cold wind was like a knife, cutting painfully into people's faces.

Before coming out, Bai Wanwan put a lot of heat packs on her body. She didn't want to catch a cold at this time and hold everyone back.

He was wearing a down jacket that he had redeemed last year.

Even so, it couldn't stop the biting cold.

Her breath condensed into frost in the air, and a layer of fine ice crystals clung to her eyelashes.

Zhu Xiu immediately used his snake tail to coil around her, unleashing his innate power, and the chill on his body suddenly subsided.

Before leaving, Bai Wanwan asked Shi Hua and her two beast husbands to help take care of the cubs.

The three males then led her to the tribe's gate.

The snowflakes continued to fall softly from the sky.

Bai Wanwan reached out and stroked Zhu Xiu's back, then suddenly remembered something, "Zhu Xiu, don't snakes hibernate? Why don't you?"

Last snow season in the Beast City, the climate there wasn't extremely cold, so it's understandable that Zhu Xiu didn't hibernate.

But now, despite the raging cold winds and the icy chill in his breath, he still moves as usual.

The king cobra's massive head turned, its reddish eyes staring at her: "I am a mutated snake beast, capable of resisting the hibernation instinct with my innate power. But if I am injured, or if my innate power is severely depleted... I will be forced into hibernation."

"So that's how it is..." Talent is truly a wonderful thing.

She had only asked casually, but her attention was quickly drawn away by the increasingly clear roars of the beasts.

The golden lion's voice was sometimes mournful and sometimes angry, and Bai Wanwan's heart sank, and she lost the will to speak.

Zhu Xiu moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the tribe's gate.

Even though she was mentally prepared, the sight before her still made Bai Wanwan's breathing tighten.

The snow was stained dark red, and the corpses of golden lions and black bears lay scattered about, some even torn to pieces.

A cold wind, carrying the stench of blood, swept in...

"Nonsense! How could you bring a female out like this? She'll die if she gets cold! Go back now!"

Jin Wu was keeping a close eye on the battlefield when he suddenly noticed Bai Wanwan's appearance and immediately tried to dissuade her.

Before the beastmen could speak, Bai Wanwan explained to the older beastman, "Don't worry, I'm not cold. I'm just checking the situation and will be back soon."

Having survived the treatment, Jin Cang was leaning weakly against the stone bed when he heard Bai Wanwan's voice. He immediately called to Jin Yue, "Help me go out and take a look."

Jin Yue looked anxious. "Clan leader, your injuries are very serious. The clan shaman said so..."

Jin Cang smiled and waved at him, "I'm fine. Will you help me or will I walk by myself?"

Jin Yue had no choice but to step forward and help him up, still trying to persuade him, "Uncle Wu is watching outside, you should focus on recovering from your injuries first..."

Jin Cang could clearly feel that his injuries were healing rapidly, and this injury would not kill him.

After being helped by Jin Yue to walk a few steps, he was sure he hadn't misheard; Bai Wanwan was indeed standing not far from the stone house.

"Wanwan?"

Bai Wanwan turned her head when she heard the voice of the Jin Cang clan leader.

Seeing the clan chief's pale face and weak appearance, he realized that Jin Yi had rushed over to ask for the ointment for the sake of the Jin Cang clan chief.

"Chieftain, are you injured? Is it serious?"

Bai Wanwan walked over and naturally took his hand.

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Jin Cang shook his head with relief, "It's alright. Why did you come out? It's dangerous here. Getting cold here could kill you. Quickly have your beastman take you back."

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to answer, she heard Jin Wu shout urgently, "Quickly, the Bear Clan is attacking the young clan leader again. You guys hurry up and go save the young clan leader!"

Jin Cang's expression changed, and he hurried forward.

Bai Wanwan helped him walk to the gate of the tribe.

In the distance, Jin Yi's figure stood out conspicuously. The male who had just been looking for her to get the ointment was now rushing to the front line.

His golden mane was stained with blood, and although his movements were still swift, he was clearly showing signs of fatigue.

More than a dozen bear-like orcs around him launched an attack at the same time.

Bai Wanwan's heart clenched suddenly. The thought that Jin Yi might be killed by these black bears filled her chest with intense anger.

Zhu Xiu noticed her unusual expression and guessed what was wrong.

But in the end, he still said, "Don't worry, I'll go help him."

Bai Wanwan abruptly looked away and turned to look at him, "But..."

With tens of thousands of orcs from the Black Bear tribe besieging him, it would be equally dangerous for Zhu Xiu to go out.

"Don't worry, at least I can save my life."

After saying that, he didn't delay and turned to Yan Lie and Xin Feng, saying, "Keep an eye on Wanwan. If anything goes wrong, take Wanwan and leave immediately. Don't worry about me."

Xin Feng looked at him and nodded: "Be careful."

Yan Lie also silently moved two steps closer to Bai Wanwan, adopting a protective stance.

Finally, he gave Bai Wanwan a deep look and said, "I will be back soon."

"Well, I'll wait for you!"

*****
Jin Yi gasped for breath as his sharp claws ripped open the throat of a bear-like beastman, splattering warm blood onto his face.

His claws tore apart one enemy after another, but there were just too many enemies...

The Bear Clan came prepared this time, with the number of males possessing Yellow-Rank talent far exceeding expectations.

If this continues, the Golden Lion tribe's defenses will be breached sooner or later.

Another member of his tribe fell beside him, his throat pierced by the bear-like beastman, blood gushing out.

Jin Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and his chest was filled with rage and despair.

We can't lose... We absolutely can't lose!
He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with unwavering resolve.

He looked at the high-ranking male bears attacking him, and a resolute look appeared in his eyes.

Only by weakening the Bear Clan as much as possible can the Golden Lion Clan have a future.

More than a dozen yellow-rank males were getting closer and closer to him...

Jin Yi began to mobilize all his innate power, and energy gathered wildly within his body, preparing for self-destruction.

He wanted to take away enough of the Bear Clan's elite troops to give the tribe a chance to regroup!
The bear-like orcs' attack followed, but they were knocked away by a snake's tail.

"Jin Yi!"

Just as the energy was about to explode, Jin Yi saw a dark figure appear before him.

Zhu Xiu's snake tail pressed down on his shoulder, forcibly interrupting the flow of his innate power, his voice icy: "Don't do anything stupid."

The energy storm in Jin Yi's eyes gradually dissipated. "What are you doing here? This is a feud between our Golden Lion Tribe and the Bear Tribe. You don't need to get involved. Go back to Bai Wanwan's side quickly. If... the Golden Lion Tribe is breached, you must take her away immediately."

Zhu Xiu's gaze swept over him. "I will protect her."

As he spoke, he swept away two more high-ranking males that were about to attack.

The black bear stared at the king cobra in disbelief.

They all possessed Yellow-rank talent, yet their talent power had absolutely no effect.

“The Bear Clan launched an attack under the pretext that you killed their young chieftain, but I was the one who killed him, and I am responsible for this.”
