Chapter 785

“Tsk.” With that soft sound, the figure with that rotten hand was flung aside. Lea swished his huge tail with a trace of disappointment. “Don’t you have any professional pride? How can you make such a loud noise when stealing something? I can’t even pretend to not notice. So unprofessional. I expected more from you.”

The other figures looked at each other. What did he mean?

Gu Mengmeng sat up from Elvis’ embrace, whose blue eyes followed her with a doting gaze. He stroked her head. “The noise still woke you up, didn’t it?”

Gu Mengmeng sighed. “I can’t sleep properly knowing that they have been following us.”

Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng gently on the face. “No matter, it will be resolved soon.”

With that, Elvis stood up and walked towards those thieves who had disturbed Gu Mengmeng’s sleep.

Even stray beasts should have rules.” Elvis cracked his neck to loosen up. In a flash, he grabbed one of the rat beasts who tried to escape, and flung him into the sky. A huge eagle-owl swooped down and clamped into the rat beast’s flesh with sharp talons. The eagle-owl carried the rat beast into the distance before dropping him. With a piteous howl, the rat beast smashed onto the ground in pieces.

A gust of wind blew past and the eagle-owl circled the sky before landing steadily on the ground. His face was lifeless and weary from sickness, and pale as the moon. His cool gaze was not sharp, but could still make one grip his throat from fear.

And all this happened under five seconds.

Taking another step forward, Elvis unleashed a dangerous aura like darkness spreading across the night. He looked just like the King of Hell, unforgiving and merciless. His words resonated in the night, like a god setting down his decree. They were scared witless and could only submit to him. “You can try to take it by force, but cannot secretly steal. And you… have broken this rule.”

The legs of one of the stray beasts went soft with fear. He turned and tried to run away but seemed to have knocked into something. Terror traveled up his whole body but he didn’t even have the courage to look back.

The cool tongue of a snake licked his neck, as a languid and sinister voice whispered by his ear. “Supper? Doesn’t look that appetizing…”

Before he had time to scream, the thick tail of a snake had wound tightly around his lower body, while his upper body… was already between the snake’s jaws.

The remaining three thieves exchanged a look. They instantly zeroed in on the weakest link—Lea.

Although both Ian and Lea were third-level beasts, they had no advantage over a beast who could fly. Meanwhile, that fox was obviously just a pretty face and the most vulnerable person in the group.

Turning around viciously, the three thieves charged towards Lea.

Lea just laughed as he pointed at his own nose nonchalantly. “I have been looked down upon.”

Lea easily avoided the first wave of attack with a turn of his body. His bushy tail brushed teasingly across the assailant’s face, carrying with it an intense air of provocation.

As they passed each other, Lea extended his sharp claws and drove them into his attacker’s abdomen. By the time the second stray beast made his move, the first stray beast had already been sliced in two. And all that took less than a second.
