Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Bringing a Pillow When You’re Sleepy

They were exactly what she needed, right when she needed them—her fluffy companions were a godsend!

"TRUMPET—"

Looking at the Elephant Group behind the Mojin King Tiger and the others, Liang He smiled with satisfaction. Elephants had thick, tough skin and wouldn’t be easily bitten by Fierce Beasts, except, of course, for those that were apex predators themselves. But she could completely handle the apex predator Fierce Beasts herself. It was clearly more suitable to let the Elephant Group deal with the more numerous, small-to-medium-sized Fierce Beasts with relatively weaker lethality. This would weaken the overall attack power of the Fierce Beast Army.

"I almost forgot that I can communicate with animals without any barriers," Liang He’s eyes lit up. Her casual remark almost made Soros cough up blood; she was blatantly flexing!

In the blink of an eye, the Platinum Giant Lion and the others led the Elephant Group to Liang He, casually clearing out the surrounding Fierce Beasts to carve out a safe clearing. As for whether Soros lived or died, no one cared.

"AWOO~"

After Cedriel gave Liang He a brief greeting, he began dealing with the Fierce Beasts. Because the Canglan Hunting Eagle was constantly circling in the sky, they had been able to pinpoint Liang He’s exact location. As for the Elephant Group, they had been brought out by the Platinum Giant Lion.

"Cyril, take the Elephant Group and deal with those small and medium-sized Fierce Beasts! Stomp them one by one, don’t hold back!"

Although elephants were gentle and lacked high attack power, they could easily win with sheer tonnage.

"ROAR!"

Obediently, the Platinum Giant Lion led the Elephant Group straight toward the direction Liang He pointed. While the Elephant Group stomped on enemies one by one, he even helped herd other scattered small and medium-sized Fierce Beasts toward them, relieving the pressure on Liang He’s side.

"Holy crap! You can do that?" Soros was completely stunned by Liang He’s god-tier maneuvering.

But the effect was obvious. He could clearly feel that his burden had lightened significantly. He was no longer as tense as before, terrified that a momentary lapse in concentration would result in a Fierce Beast taking a bite out of him.

"Cedriel, you’re in charge of the large predators! Lanton, take care of aerial reconnaissance! Stay safe and don’t get bitten!" She remembered Xu Yi once saying that apex predators like the Mojin King Tiger could get bitten but wouldn’t be infected by the virus, making them relatively safe.

"AWOO!"

"SCREECH!"

The Mojin King Tiger and the Canglan Hunting Eagle were old partners; their teamwork went without saying.

"Xuan Jiao, help Soros deal with the remaining Fierce Beasts."

"Mhm!"

Liang He noticed that Soros was gradually exhausting his stamina, so she asked the Iron-eating Beast to help him, lest he accidentally get torn apart and swallowed by a Fierce Beast. Under Liang He’s command, the four Beast Beasts divided the labor and cooperated, quickly bringing the situation on the battlefield under control. However, Liang He knew very well that compared to the Fierce Beast Army of thousands, they were still far from being able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Soros, you hold the line here. I’m going to take Kuang Ye to find reinforcements!"

"Alright!" At this moment, whether forced by the situation or not, Soros had nothing but unconditional trust in Liang He.

"Kuang Ye!"

"MEOW!"

The Mengji Snow Leopard, who hadn’t been assigned any task, had been feeling dejected, thinking he was too weak and that was why Liang He hadn’t thought of him. Hearing her call, he instantly perked up.

"Good Leopard, let’s go find the other little animals and ask for their help." Liang He gently rubbed the Mengji Snow Leopard’s head. With an agile leap, she smoothly mounted his back, asking him to lead the way to find more helpers.

"MEOW!"

While Liang He and the Mengji Snow Leopard were searching for helpers, Elias, who was locked in a fierce battle with Huo An, finally noticed that something was wrong.

"Wait, time out!"

Hearing the call for a truce from the black mist, Huo An paused in mid-air in confusion. He stared warily at Elias, unable to figure out what kind of trick he was playing.

"Are you trying to stall for time?"

"No." Although Elias was among the interstellar pirates, he had always targeted those who sought ill-gotten wealth and never took the initiative to attack innocent people. Of course, he had only cooperated with the Rebel Army because Valken promised him fifty Fierce Beasts; that was what had clouded his judgment.

"Haven’t you noticed something is wrong up ahead?"

As a fellow Beastman, Elias could sense the presence of the Fierce Beast Army, so there was no way Huo An hadn’t noticed. Reminded by him, Huo An, who had been entirely focused on dealing with Elias, immediately sensed the problem.

"How could so many Fierce Beasts appear?!" It wasn’t that Huo An hadn’t considered the Rebel Army using Fierce Beasts to wear down their combat power, but he never imagined there would be thousands of them. After all, when Elias originally demanded a hundred Fierce Beasts, Valken had cut the number in half. That alone proved how difficult they were to come by.

"I’m afraid they manufactured these Fierce Beasts directly on the Greenfield Star." Elias’s expression looked equally grim. He also hadn’t expected the Rebel Army to be so shameless as to give him, their partner, zero advance warning. Otherwise, he would have definitely made Liang He leave earlier. "Are you sure we should keep fighting? Liang He probably needs your help more."

Not wanting to reveal that he was the Little Black Snake, Elias could only opt to let Huo An take the initiative to call a truce. If they fought to the death here, it would only benefit the Rebel Army.

"You’re also a danger." The whole reason Huo An had appeared on the Greenfield Star was to counter Elias. However, he hadn’t realized that the black mist that attacked the reserve back then was Elias.

"The Rebel Army disregarded my life or death. The deal is off; I won’t make a move." Elias’s cold tone actually made Huo An believe him a little. The Fierce Beast Army’s primary targets were Beastmen, and Elias was no exception. Since the Rebel Army hadn’t informed him beforehand, they clearly didn’t consider him an ally. Naturally, there was no need for their deal to continue.

"Fine, I’ll trust you this once."

Huo An shifted back into his human form and turned to head toward the hotel. Behind him, Elias left without looking back, vanishing without a trace.

"Hoder."

Hoder, who was currently monitoring Liang He’s situation through the surveillance feeds, stiffened the moment he heard Huo An’s voice, terrified that Huo An was coming to settle the score with him.

"Ahem... Uncle An, is everything handled on your end?"

"Mm." In Huo An’s impression, Elias might not be a gentleman, but he kept his word, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say the matter was handled.

"What’s the situation on Liang He’s side?"

"Cedriel and the others showed up just in time, and with the help of the Elephant Group, they’ve temporarily stabilized the situation." Speaking of this, Hoder couldn’t help but admire Liang He. She ordered around that group of big shots without breaking a sweat, and even ordinary animals like the Elephant Group were willing to follow her commands. Incredible, absolutely incredible!

"The Elephant Group?"

Hoder curiously focused his gaze on the monitor, noticing that under the Platinum Giant Lion’s command, the overall combat power of the Elephant Group had surged. Handling swarms of Fierce Beasts was a piece of cake for them, which he found truly unimaginable.

"Liang He’s abilities... are getting stronger and stronger."

With such a massive commotion happening on the Greenfield Star, there was no way the Federation wouldn’t find out. When that time came, everything Liang He had done would be reported in exhaustive detail. He figured that once this crisis was resolved, it wouldn’t be long before the higher-ups sent someone to escort Liang He to the Federation Headquarters for an audience.

"Mr. Hoder, we’re almost out of ammunition for the Anesthetic Guns! What should we do?!"

Just as Huo An was pondering how he would help Liang He when the time came, the stationed Federation Army delivered more bad news.
