"They’re trying to pin us down!" Su Qinglan shouted, clutching Hu Yan’s fur. "They want us to be sitting ducks for the beast tide!"Anger bubbled up in her chest. She saw a birdman try to snatch a bundle of hides from an elderly fox woman, nearly knocking the grandmother to the ground.

"You greedy, pathetic scavengers!" Su Qinglan screamed up at them.

The Bird Tribe didn’t care. They saw the Fox Tribe as a dying people, and they wanted to pick the bones clean before the "real" monsters arrived.

Su Qinglan couldn’t take it anymore.

Watching those birds dive down to snatch food from the elderly and terrify the children made her blood boil. She looked down at the dark, powerful form gliding beside Hu Yan.

"Xuan Long!" she shouted over the wind.

"Knock these useless birds out of the sky! Throw them as far as you can!"

Xuan Long didn’t need to be told twice. He had been quietly simmering in rage, his green scales blending perfectly with the forest floor.

He was so well camouflaged that the Bird Tribe hadn’t even realized a powerful beastman was right beneath them.

His long, muscular body suddenly coiled and then snapped like a whip. A massive tail lashed upward into the air with a sound like a thunderclap.

CRACK!

Two bird beastmen, who had been laughing as they dived for a bag of meat, didn’t even have time to scream.

The tail slammed into them, snapping their wings and sending them spinning through the air like broken toys.

The rest of the Bird Tribe froze in mid-air, their wings flapping frantically.

"What was that? Where did it come from?!" one of them shrieked, looking down in terror.

They still couldn’t see him clearly until Xuan Long let out a low, vibrating hiss that made the very trees tremble. He lashed out again, his tail moving faster than the eye could see.

Two more birdmen were knocked out of the sky, falling through the branches with heavy thuds.

The moment their feet touched the ground, their lives became a nightmare.

The Fox beastmen, who had been suppressed and frightened for the last twelve hours, finally found a way to vent their anger.

They didn’t stop running, but they didn’t miss the chance to strike. As the birds fell, the heavy paws of foxes trampled over them.

"This is for our home!" one fox warrior growled, his heavy paw crushing a birdman’s ribs as he ran past.

"And this is for our ancestors!" another yelled, kicking a fallen scout into the thick brambles.

The Bird Tribe members who were still in the air were absolutely stunned. Their arrogant laughter had turned into frantic chirps of fear.

They had thought the Fox Tribe was easy prey, but they hadn’t accounted for the "hidden monster" protecting the rear.

Xuan Long looked up, his cold, vertical pupils locked onto the remaining birds. "If you dive again," he hissed, his voice echoing with a deadly promise, "I will pull you from the sky and feed you to the tide myself."

The birds immediately flapped their wings harder, soaring higher into the clouds. They were too afraid to come close now. Su Qinglan let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding.

"Good job, Xuan Long!" she cried out.

Xuan Long didn’t say anything, but his tail gave a small, satisfied flick. He returned to his camouflage, gliding silently through the leaves, once again a hidden ghost protecting his family.

Just as the Bird Tribe was about to retreat into the clouds, a shrill, arrogant voice pierced through the air.

"Where do you think you’re going?! You useless cowards!"

Su Qinglan looked up and squinted. There, flying at a safe distance behind a group of warriors, was a familiar face.

It was the same "stupid bird" she had interrogated before...the son of the Bird Tribe leader.

He was staying far away from Xuan Long’s reach, hiding behind his men like a true coward.

He pointed a shaking finger directly at Su Qinglan. "Go! Snatch that female for me! If you don’t bring her back and grab something good, I’ll let you all starve! Once the beast tide catches them, everything will be ruined. Get her now!"

The bird warriors hesitated. They had seen what Xuan Long’s tail could do, but the threat of their prince and the fear of hunger pushed them forward.

Five of the strongest birdmen tucked their wings and dove like stones, aiming straight for Su Qinglan on Hu Yan’s back.

Su Qinglan’s eyes turned cold. "You again?" she muttered, her grip tightening on Hu Yan’s fur. "You really have a death wish, don’t you?"

The young bird prince hovered high above, shouting more threats. He was too scared to fight himself, but he was more than happy to send his men to die just so he could satisfy his greedy desire to "own" her.

"He’s using them as shields," Han Jue snarled from the side, his wolf ears flattened against his head. "He’s staying high so he can flee the moment things go wrong."

Su Qinglan felt a wave of disgust. "He’s a coward who only knows how to bark from the sky. Hu Yan, don’t stop! Xuan Long, take down the ones coming at us, but leave that ’prince’ to me. I have a little surprise for him."

As the five birdmen reached striking distance, their talons out and eyes wide with desperation, Xuan Long’s body coiled again.

But this time, Su Qinglan didn’t just wait for her husbands to protect her. She patted Stove.

"You want me?" she screamed up at the hovering prince. "Then come and get me yourself!"

The five warriors dived, but Xuan Long was faster.

Whap! Whap! Whap!

Three of them were swatted away like annoying flies.

The remaining two were intercepted by Shi Feng, who leaped into the air with a massive roar, his claws shredding their wings before they could even touch Su Qinglan’s hair.

The bird prince turned pale in the sky. He hadn’t expected his "elite" guards to be handled so easily.

He started to flap his wings to fly higher, but Su Qinglan wasn’t going to let him go that easily.

"Think you’re safe up there?" she mocked, her eyes burning with a sharp light.

Su Qinglan didn’t want to waste her own energy on such a pathetic coward. She looked at the stove tucked into the bag at her side.

"Stove," she said, her voice sharp and cold. "Catch that stupid bird for me."
