Chapter 37 A Crisis
Rosalie twisted her wrist and flipped the blade around, but it was already too late.
The blade flew out of her hand and skidded away.
Bare-handed, there was no way she could defeat the leopard.
She glanced at Elijah and shouted, “Elijah! Help me, now!”
“Got it, Matriarch!”

Elijah moved so fast that he left a faint blur in the air. He rushed the leopard, tangled with i and in the end leapt onto its neck. One powerful hand forced the leopard’s head down. Ve stood out on his arm from the effort.
Even so, his hair was perfectly neat. He turned his face calmly toward Rosalie.
The leopard struggled and roared beneath him. Rosalie stepped closer and activated the syste
scan.
“Host,” the system reported, “this leopard appears to be in a berserk state.”
Rosalie frowned. That part was not hard to fix. One Detox Pill was all it needed.
But she looked at Elijah with worry.
Elijah had no feelings for her. If he noticed anything strange, he would not hesitate to deal with her. She could not afford to make another mistake.
After a brief pause, Rosalie stood and walked toward a patch of thick plants nearby.
“System, scan this area for usable medicinal herbs.”
The system swept the area like a radar. In Rosalie’s vision, several plants lit up with a soft white outline, making them easy to spot.
She moved quickly, gathered the herbs, and mixed them according to the system’s instructions.
Then she returned to the leopard and forced its jaws open. She pushed the herbal paste down
its throat.
The leopard let out a fierce roar, then slowly grew quiet.
That woman wiped her tears and crouched beside the leopard. She asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with him?”

Rosalie helped her up and spoke as gently as she could. “He’s fine. I gave him medicine. He’ll wake up after some time.”
She finally calmed down and looked at Rosalie with gratitude. “Thank you. Thank you so much,
savior.”
“No need to call me that,” Rosalie said. “Just call me Rosalie.”
The woman nodded. “My name is Monica Sherman. I was traveling with my husband to visit our family. I don’t know why, but halfway here he suddenly went berserk.”
She lowered her head and touched her belly.
“He almost hurt me and our child. Thankfully, you saved us in time.”
Rosalie waved it off. She could not stand seeing Monica so upset. “You’re pregnant. You shouldn’t get too emotional.”
The sun climbed higher, glaring down on the ground. The light was so strong it made it hard to keep their eyes open. Monica’s face looked pale under the heat.
Rosalie turned to Elijah and said, “We’re not far from home. Take Monica there and let her get some rest. The sun is too strong. It’s not good for her health.”
Monica had not expected such care and thanked Rosalie again and again.
Elijah stood still with his arms crossed and said coldly, “My only duty is to protect you.”
Rosalie answered just as coolly, “Your duty also includes carrying out my order.”
Elijah did not move. “I’ll stay right here and wait for you,” Rosalie said firmly. “Nothing will happen. I promise.”
Only then did Elijah turn around. He took Monica with him and hurried toward home.
Rosalie stayed under the shade of the trees. The unconscious beastman lay beside her.
From afar, she saw Reva leading a large group of people, marching toward her home with aggressive force.
