Cocoboha let out a low, growling noise. His tail puffed up in anger with a whoosh.
"As for that human over there—he's trespassed into the beastman territory. Even if he's killed, he has no right to complain. Both of you, take care of him—quickly."
The tiger-eared and leopard-eared guards readjusted their grip on their swords at their master's command.
However, with Bao Bei being held hostage, Jihl had no way to act.
Bao Bei saw Jihl bite his lip in frustration, glaring at the approaching tiger-ears.
Jihl is going to be killed!
The moment his heart screamed, Bao Bei's body shrank.
More precisely, he changed from a human form into that of a puppy. Much smaller than his humanoid shape, the tiny puppy slipped right out of Duralumin's grasp in an instant.
Before Duralumin could recover from his shock, Bao Bei used his soft body to claw at Duralumin's hand and lift himself up.
And then—chomp.
He bit into Duralumin's arm with everything he had, with all his strength.
