"Help us!"
A female's desperate cry rang out as several beastmen came sprinting toward Nina and the others, a pack of magical beasts snapping at their heels.
Seeing the strangers rushing over—bringing the beasts straight toward them—Odian's brows drew together slightly.
He flicked an impatient glance at Ridan.
He had no interest in helping them. More importantly, he refused to let their trouble interrupt Nina's meal.
If the magical beasts charged in, lunch would be ruined.
Ridan immediately understood. He led several phoenix warriors forward to intercept.
Their strength far surpassed the beasts'. Within moments, the magical creatures were eliminated.
The fleeing beastmen finally slowed, breathing heavily in relief.
They had spotted smoke from afar and guessed there were others here. That was why they had run in this direction, gambling on help.
Now they approached cautiously.
Nina looked up.
Six males. Two females.
