That would be no small task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber fell silent once more. They withdrew immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, a pair of crimson eyes curved into a sinister smile—then vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the Barbarian City was sealed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, anguished screams began to echo through the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Odian transported Nina and the others to the Sky Star Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the outer edge of the forest,\" Setan said, pointing ahead. \"Up front is a poisonous woodland. The air is filled with toxic mist—even above it. We’ll need antidotes before entering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we go around it?\" Nina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Setan replied. \"The entire outer perimeter is covered by this toxic forest. There’s no way around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if we fly over it?\" she tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won’t work either. This place is... strange. You can’t fly too high. It feels like a crushing weight pressing down on you—the higher you go, the stronger it gets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard the same,\" Taru added. \"Only low-altitude flight is possible here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They soon arrived at the forest’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick, murky fog hung in the air, shrouding the woods in a cold, eerie gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina had Little Bun analyze the composition of the toxic mist, then purchased the appropriate antidotes for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also handed out extra shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take one antidote first,\" she instructed. \"You should be protected from the mist afterward. Keep the shields ready—you might need them. The extras are for backup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The males followed her instructions immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setan frowned slightly. \"This forest becomes more dangerous at night. Poisonous creatures—like toxic birds—start appearing. It’s safer during the day. Do you want to wait until morning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This forest is vast,\" he added. \"We won’t make it across before nightfall today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina glanced at the sky. There were still about four hours before dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting felt like a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, we don’t have much time,\" Kith urged. \"We should go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree,\" Sal added. \"We can handle smaller threats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no telling how much time the journey ahead would take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t afford delays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina thought for a brief moment, then made her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir hesitated, then stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little female... I’ll carry you. I’m immune to poison, and my barrier can block toxins. It’ll be safer if you stay with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian nodded. \"Nina, you and the cubs will be safer with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with antidotes, it was better to take every precaution—especially with someone naturally resistant to poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina looked down at the cubs in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least this way, they would be safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, she shouldn’t have brought them into such a dangerous place—but leaving them behind hadn’t felt safe either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir stepped closer, trying to steady the sudden acceleration of his heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently wrapped an arm around Nina’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers trembled slightly, and a faint blush colored his pale, handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on tight, little one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir tightened his hold slightly, and she pressed close against him, her body fitting naturally into his arms. His scent—cool, clean, and faintly sharp—filled her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unexpected softness against him made his heartbeat stutter wildly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew in a slow breath, forcing himself to steady it, then lifted into the air with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian and Aviel flanked them on either side, guarding closely. Ahead, Setan and Ridan scouted the path, while Viann and the others secured the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Sal and the rest moved in their beast forms, keeping pace beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They entered the toxic forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as the eye could see, it was nothing but dense vegetation. Not a single animal appeared along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only sound was the steady rhythm of wings cutting through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence was... unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night fell, darkness swallowed the forest whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dim moonlight filtered through the canopy, casting twisted shadows that resembled ghostly faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried the cubs might be frightened, Nina took out small glowing lamps and placed them in their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing some of the males beginning to tire, she called for a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way to light a fire here, so she purchased ready-to-eat dried meat and passed it around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The males accepted the food eagerly and began eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, the bonded males carefully prepared milk for the cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir lifted his hand slightly... then hesitated and withdrew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he... prepare milk for Momo too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... what right did he have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t even her bonded mate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the end... he would leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Off to the side, Setan quietly observed, committing everything to memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something he needed to learn well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might need it someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai’s attention, however, never strayed from Nina. He only spared Shushu a brief glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino was taking excellent care of him—there was nothing for him to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru, on the other hand, was enthusiastically asking Mino questions, clearly eager to learn so he could help care for Shushu in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just begun to relax when suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caw—Caw—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrill, piercing cries echoed through the forest, accompanied by a rustling surge through the leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, countless gray-brown birds with long, needle-like beaks came hurtling toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir reacted immediately, pulling Nina into his arms, shielding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These birds are poisonous—be careful!\" Setan warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The males immediately swallowed the rest of their food and sprang to their feet, ready for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian and the others closed ranks around Nina, while Kith raised a protective barrier around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poisonous birds swarmed in, attacking relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their beaks were terrifying—sharp enough to pierce through Kith’s barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time it cracked, Kith instantly reinforced it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t just the birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, countless tiny black specks appeared—silent, dense, and fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those are venomous bees,\" Setan called out. \"Avoid being stung. They don’t make sound—stay alert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames erupted around him as he incinerated the approaching birds and bees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others fought with grim focus, carefully fending off the relentless swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were too many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith’s barrier couldn’t keep up with the damage. Several bees broke through and reached Nina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately shielded the cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir moved swiftly, eliminating every bee that came near her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long, grueling struggle, the swarm finally thinned... then vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned.
