Within the snowcapped mountains, the werewolves and goblins also sense the unusual occurrences.

After careful observation, they discerned that the entire mountain seemed to be vibrating.

Given the vastness of the mountain, they were at a loss regarding the source of the disturbance.

Cloaked in black robes, the human mages stood motionless at top, the highest peak of the frigid snow mountain, undisturbed.

The weather grew increasingly ominous.

The sky darkened, and fierce winds accompanied by blizzards ravaged the region unrelentingly.

The weaker races huddled in their burrows, trembling in fear.

Their animal instincts warning them of an impending calamity on the mountain.

Meanwhile, Bayou, nestled within the frost cave, remained oblivious to the changes unfolding in the outside world.

The tremors persisted.

Why did it feel as though the vibrations were intensifying? Bayou pondered.

Could it be that two kings are battling outside? Perhaps one of them might be vanquished.

At this moment, the tiger folk were well-fed and oblivious to the tremors around them, contentedly picking at the remnants of food lodge between their teeth.

Truly, they lacked common sense.

If an earthquake were strike, they would deserve to be buried beneath the earth.

Bayou smirked inwardly at this thought.

Suddenly, with a resounding bang, the door to the tiger guard chamber was kicked open.

The Tiger Queen emerged, her face contorted with fury.

"Who is making such a racket?" She bellowed, her displeasure evident.

Bayou observed that despite her title, the tiger queen bore a striking resemblance to a human.

She had long flowing white hair, akin to Bayu's own, though currently disheveled.

As she fumed, her small tiger fangs peaked out from her lips.

She dawned a princess gown of a classical Gothic style, unmistakably native attire.

The only discernable difference was the pair of fluffy white beast ears a top her head.

upon seeing their queen.

The surrounding tiger folk lit up with joy.

"Your majesty, you are awake!" exclaimed the tiger guards, rushing forward.

However, the tiger queen paid them no mind, for her gaze had landed on by you, who stood at the back of the tiger crowd.

"Wow, a human! I haven't seen one in months.

" The tiger queen approached by you directly, inspecting her from all angles and even sniffing the air.

"So beautiful and with white hair like mine.

What a coincidence.

Your majesty, this esteemed lady has provided us with food.

She is an outsider, one of the tiger guards explained, a hint of exasperation in his tone.

For their queen was perpetually curious about novel encounters.

An outsider and so striking.

What is your name? The queen inquired eagerly.

I am Inshi.

Let's get acquainted.

With a friendly demeanor, she's irritation faded, replaced by a broad smile directed at Bayou.

Bayui was taken aback by the tiger queen's demeanor.

She observed Inshi, who stood slightly shorter than herself, and took a moment to tidy her own hair, wishing to leave a favorable impression on this rare foreigner.

I am by you.

Pleased to meet you.

By you, a lovely name.

They are my kin who have followed and protected me.

Thank you for assisting them.

You are the finest outsider I have encountered, and she stated with sudden seriousness, bowing deeply to Bayou.

It was nothing, merely a small favor.

I happened to seek refuge here, Bayou replied, feeling a touch embarrassed by the queen's gesture of respect.

Only then did In she remember to acknowledge the tiger guards.

However, her response soon dashed the guards hopes, as she had not yet ascended to the royal level, besides the disturbances caused by the tremors of the snowcapped mountains.

It seemed that another force had awakened her from her slumber.

Upon hearing this, Bayu recalled the earlier words of the goblin and Shiao Bing wondering if the phenomena at top the snow mountain had indeed influenced her deep sleep.

Wait, have you not heard the rumors surrounding the frigid snowcap mountains? Bayou couldn't help but interject.

Through their conversation, she had surmised that a royal clash was not occurring outside.

The ground continued to tremble and merely a few minutes had passed.

Yet Bayou could distinctly feel that the tremors had intensified beyond what they had been moments ago.

What rumors? Bayou, what do you know? Pray, enlighten us.

And she turned to Bayou, and the gathered tiger folk exchanged puzzled glances, clearly unaware of this rumor.

To be honest, I am not entirely certain.

I only know that there are whispers suggesting something may be concealed within the snowcapped mountains.

This object is purportedly what lured these factions here, including the true instigator of your slumber.

Of course, this is merely my conjecture.

No sooner had Bayou finished speaking than the ground began to quiver violently, the bunker collapsing around them as massive fissures appeared.

By you and she had yet to grasp the situation when they noticed a short distance away within the crack formed by the tremors, a ceruan sphere hovered silently.

At the moment this sphere manifested, it emitted a dazzling radiance, unleashing a beam of blue light that surged towards the heavens, piercing through the entire mountain range and ascending into the sky.

In an instant, the forces of humanity, vampires, werewolves, and goblins all turned their gazes towards the direction of the soaring light.

Each faction hastening with all their might toward that luminous beacon.

Chapter 158.

Desperate escape in the snowy mountains, the soaring blue beam vanished in an instant, revealing a narrow opening above the bunker that led directly to the snow-covered peak beyond.

Snowflakes and howling winds swirled through the aperture.

What could this be? The tiger man guard was momentarily stunned, his gaze captivated by the object.

The bunker had not entirely collapsed, yet it lay in ruins, a chaotic scene of debris.

This is bad.

A sense of dread enveloped by you as she realized the magnitude of the situation.

Such a commotion would surely attract all forces in the snowy mountains.

What are you still doing? Run.

At least three kings are heading this way.

With that, Bayou resolved to flee.

She had no desire to await her demise here.

Meanwhile, Inshi, who had previously listened to Bayou, also grasped the implications.

The multitude of forces converging upon the snowy mountains was undoubtedly drawn by this object.

Bayou had no intention of seizing it.

Doing so would only render her a target for all the kings.

It was wiser to leave it behind to divert their attention, significantly increasing her chances of escape.

After all, they had come for this very thing.

And with it so readily visible, they would hardly concern themselves with a fleeing outsider.

In she scanned her surroundings, her mind racing as she made a decision.

You all hide here, she instructed the tiger men, fully aware that leaving this object behind would spell doom for her kin.

The crystal from the rift materialized in her hand.

Clutching it, in she hastened to catch up with Bayou, intending to escape together and lead the kings away to safeguard her people.

Wait, don't take that.

Bayou caught a glimpse of In.

She pursuing her with the object in hand.

No, if I leave it, my people will perish.

Insholute.

Her kin had protected her throughout, and she could not bear to witness their demise.

Many ordinary tiger men remained in her clan, unable to flee from the kings.

If we run together, our chances of survival will increase.
