Owen knew he was currently in a passive position, trying his best to protect Rowan while looking for a chance to break out.
But that Leo was extremely tough; several times he almost touched Rowan, which instantly enraged Owen, making him rush straight at Leo for a life-and-death struggle.
Incidentally taking down a few Beastmen who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong Owen was, he couldn't withstand the continuous siege of the Beastmen, gradually falling into a disadvantage. The wounds on his body increased, and in some places, Leo even bit off a chunk of flesh.
At this moment, Rowan, who had been hugging Owen tightly, suddenly jumped down from the snake's body, delivering a kick straight at Leo, who was about to bite Owen's seventh inch again.
The kick hit Leo right in the stomach, sending him flying far away to sprawl on the ground.
In an instant, not only was Leo kicked into a daze, but all the Beastmen also stopped, staring in astonishment at that small Omegina.
All wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
"Was the person just kicked flying out our tribe's strongest warrior, Leo?" A Beastman couldn't help but ask; the others hadn't recovered their senses yet.
The whole field was silent as a tomb.
Rowan stood silently in front of Owen, shielding him: "Although fighting in war allows any means, doesn't a group of beasts like you surrounding and beating Owen alone feel too shameful?"
Owen's eyes were filled with Rowan's image; his anger instantly subsided.
Hearing Rowan's reprimand, the Beastmen present felt for the first time that this action wasn't right; shame appeared on their faces.
There seemed to be a strange, indescribable feeling, vaguely sensing something was wrong.
Leo struggled to get up, transforming back into human form, clutching his still-aching stomach, saying in disbelief:
"We came to save you, Omegina; why did you hit me? And was it really you who attacked just now? How is that possible!"
Only then did all the Beastmen wake up, finally realizing something was wrong.
"That's right, aren't we here to save the Omegina?"
"Save me? I'm fine, why do I need you to save me?" Rowan was baffled.
"Beautiful Omegina, don't be deceived by the Silver-Winged Snake Clan. How about following us back to the tribe to live? That is the place suitable for you; how can you wander outside with him?" Leo was extremely heartbroken; such an innocent Omegina had been brainwashed by the Silver-Winged Snake Clan.
Rowan still didn't understand: "He saved me, he is my benefactor."
Owen repeated that sentence: "He is mine, he won't go with you."
Leo was momentarily flustered, not knowing how to persuade this deceived Omegina.
The cruelty of the Silver-Winged Snake Clan was known to all Beastmen and Omeginas; the fear Omeginas had for them was almost etched into their marrow.
Surely this hateful guy used some tricks, causing the Omegina to fall into a trap.
Talking was useless; better to take the Omegina back to the tribe first. By then, the Omegina would realize the true face of the Silver-Winged Snake Clan.
Leo secretly signaled the Beastmen; they immediately understood and attacked Owen again simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Leo blocked Rowan, not letting him pass. Rowan immediately attacked Leo; he definitely had to teach this unreasonable beast a lesson.
This time Leo was certain that the person who kicked him flying just now was this seemingly weak Omegina. Rowan's moves were ones he had never seen before; he was not ordinary at all.
Leo was very curious about Rowan's background; this was the first time he had met such a different Omegina.
Rowan and Leo fought to a draw, considered evenly matched, but he knew the man in front of him was like Owen, not using his full strength on him.
Leo didn't want to fight Rowan, afraid he couldn't control his strength and hurt him, so he could only catch him off guard and knock him out.
Seeing this, Owen was enraged to the core, frantically breaking through the Beastmen's encirclement, but unfortunately was successfully sneak-attacked by a Beastman, bitten on the tail causing a serious injury.
He ferociously bit that Beastman to death, but the Beastmen's encirclement tightened, preventing him from leaving.
Owen could only watch in painful despair as Leo took Rowan away. He unleashed all his power, wanting to kill all the Beastmen.
The other Beastmen felt something was wrong, so they bought time for Leo to leave, then scattered and fled.
Owen wanted to chase, but the figure was nowhere to be seen; finally, he collapsed on the ground exhausted.
Leo quickly brought Rowan back to the tribe. The Beastmen and Omeginas in the tribe all came out to welcome their hero.
This was one of the few successful rescues of an Omegina from the hands of the Silver-Winged Snake Clan. Although not someone from their own tribe, it comforted everyone.
Leo took Rowan to his Papa's cave, asking him to take care of him. After all, he was a rough Beastman and didn't know how to care for an Omegina; he hadn't started a family yet.
Rowan's physique had improved a lot recently; not long after, he woke up on his own. Waking up, he found himself still in a cave, but this cave was decorated very much like a human dwelling.
The stone bed was covered with layers of soft animal furs, stone pots, stone bowls, stone tables... all complete; everywhere exuded the breath of human life.
Asa saw the Omegina his son brought back had awakened, so he hurried over to comfort him.
"My poor child, don't be afraid, you are already in our tribe. You suffered outside; rest well to recover." He gave him a look full of love.
Rowan didn't know how to respond to this sudden concern. Looking at the old man with a kind face, one could guess he must have been very refined in his youth.
It seemed he had been taken to their tribe by Leo; he wondered how Owen was doing.
Rowan stood up intending to leave: "Where is the Beastman who brought me back?"
"Looking for Leo? He went to hunt dinner for you; he'll come over later." Asa held Rowan back.
"Let me take you for a walk around our tribe. I heard you don't have a tribe; just stay in our tribe from now on, we welcome you very much." Asa enthusiastically pulled Rowan outside.
Rowan finally saw the appearance of a primitive tribe. The caves were distributed in an orderly manner, not too far nor too close, generally built quite similarly.
There were also Omeginas busy outside who stopped their work, looking curiously at Rowan and smiling kindly.
The Beastmen, on the other hand, didn't dare to look much, fearing offense; this Omegina looked too beautiful.
For the first time, Rowan saw so many people, discovering there were also some people nearly as tall as him, not everyone was huge like Owen or Leo.
He silently listened to Asa introduce the tribe's situation. The tribe was very large-scale, with quite a few Snow Leopard Clan people living there, led by the Chief.
Equivalent to a small town in the Empire, just that civilization wasn't developed.
However, Rowan walked the whole way without seeing anyone who looked like an Omegina, neither male nor female, but still saw children running everywhere; the feeling was surreal.
He saw a Beastman hugging another man shorter than himself; the other man shyly nestled in his arms.
At this moment, Rowan felt his worldview crumbling.
Because the man the other person was hugging was of similar height to an Alpha like him, just physically appearing weaker.
