Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 234: Poisonous Ambush

At that moment, the giant rabbit, slammed to the ground by the heavy blow, let out a bloodcurdling shriek.

The raw power of its cry shook the leaves from the surrounding trees.

It stared in disbelief as it saw that its fangs and claws had been shattered by Shen Yue’s single strike.

It even felt as if the power within its body was being siphoned away by the woman.

It shrieked again, its blood-red, vertical pupils filled with terror. Its gaze, now fixed on Shen Yue, was a mixture of hatred and fear.

Shen Yue retracted her power and slowly descended, landing a short distance away from it.

"You audacious beast. Slaughtering living creatures and sucking their lifeblood... Are you trying to become a demon?"

She had read about this Blood-eyed Purple Rabbit in an ancient tome before.

The book’s entry on it was sparse, just a few short lines.

It said the species had an extremely low survival rate and that all Purple Rabbits were female; males of the species did not exist.

Furthermore, their bodies would mutate upon reaching adulthood. They had no Spiritual Core, but possessed metamorphic abilities and immense strength.

And their maternal lineage was unknown.

When she first read that, she had pondered that line repeatedly.

’Why would the record specifically mention that its maternal lineage was unknown?’

’Shouldn’t the one who gives birth to a Purple Rabbit also be from the Purple Rabbit clan?’

That was why the record of the Purple Rabbit had left such a deep impression on her.

But looking at it now, this creature really was unnatural. ’If there are no male Purple Rabbits, how are they even born?’

’Where would the genetic material come from?’

After all, in the Beast World, the offspring’s species—whether from low-level beasts or the High-level Beast Clan—was always determined by the father.

Low-level beasts and animals lacked sentience and spiritual power, making it impossible for them to transform into human form. Thus, they only ever mated with their own kind.

Reproductive isolation was a factor, after all.

So, if this Purple Rabbit was just a low-level, non-sentient beast, yet had no males, how could it possibly come into existence?

But if it were a high-level female Beastman capable of transforming into a human, its birth was an even greater mystery.

’No wonder the record made a special point of it. From ancient times, the Purple Rabbit must have been an unsolved mystery to the Beast World People—a genetic bug!’

Shen Yue walked toward the giant rabbit, which lay on the ground, unable to rise.

She decided to eliminate this menace, whatever species it was. She had seen plenty of carnivores, but this was the first time she had ever encountered a bloodsucker.

Since ancient times, creatures that lived by sucking lifeblood and slaughtering living beings were either evil spirits or outright demons and monsters.

This Beast World was already surreal enough, with its complex species and ever-changing nature. Many things couldn’t be judged by common logic.

’So, this thing has to go.’

With a shift in her thoughts, she gathered the power within her body into her hands.

She advanced on it, one step at a time.

The Purple Rabbit on the ground watched the currents of energy gathering around her. The pressure felt like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, drawing closer with every step.

Under the weight of extreme fear, its pupils...

...seemed to show a flicker of human-like reason and expression.

Shen Yue keenly caught the emotion hidden in its eyes, and the power in her hands wavered.

Her initial resolve to kill it faltered for a moment.
