Chapter 318 Jaden’s Only Chance

Finished

Then, in the next second, another Black–winged Kite grabbed Jaden again. It felt like a relay race. His flesh was pierced once more, and the pain made his shoulders go numb.

The ground kept getting farther away. Fear spread through his whole body. Jaden did not dare to make any sudden moves. If he fell from this height, he would not survive.

Matthew had told him that no matter what happened, he needed to stay calm first.

He took a deep breath and told himself in his mind that he could not panic.

Seeing that Jaden was obedient, the Black–winged Kite loosened its grip slightly and turned its head to call out to its companions.

“This cub finally knows fear.”

“Once we get to the tribe, he will be even more obedient.”

“I told you that sub–therian was not simple. I noticed it last time.”

“We finally caught his cub.”

“We went through so much trouble. We have to demand more in return.”

“The Hyena tribe really has vision. Our tribe will definitely be stronger than the other tribes in the future.”

They kept talking.

Jaden could not understand what the Black–winged Kites were saying. His eyes stayed locked on the ground. The Black Panther Tribe grew farther and farther away, and even the forest slowly disappeared

from view.

After crossing several mountains, he saw a river. It was a very wide river that almost filled the entire valley. After the heavy rain, the water level had risen sharply and flooded both banks. The surface was extremely fast, carrying rocks as it rushed forward.

Jaden knew this was his only chance.

Maybe his adrenaline kicked in. The pain was temporarily blocked. When they flew over the river, he gathered all his strength and bit down on the left leg of the Black–winged Kite that was holding him.

Crack.

It sounded like a bone breaking.

He did not dare to relax. He kept biting and clawing at its belly feathers, catching it off guard. A large handful of feathers scattered into the air.

The Black–winged Kite screamed in pain.

The other Black–winged Kites, who had let their guard down, did not expect this at all. They instantly

panicked.

Jaden suddenly broke free from the claws and fell straight through the air. His mind went blank. His eyes were fixed only on the river surface.

Splaaash-

The water burst upward, then quickly rolled outward before sinking back down.

Gahh-

His wounds burned even more under the force of the water. The little black panther was still a decent swimmer, but the impact from such a height was brutal. He felt dizzy. His body went numb. Everything around him felt hazy.

Jaden barely managed to fight his way back to the surface. He had just sucked in a desperate breath when the raging river, swollen by the storm, dragged him even farther downstream.

Water flooded his nose and mouth. His vision slowly washed out to white, and it felt as though his consciousness was drifting free from his body.

Sire… Alpha…

Black–winged Kite circled above the river for a long time. In the end, it let out an agitated cry and flew off into the distance, defeated.

Taylor had been hiding in a narrow gap between the rocks. By the time Yael pulled him out, his whole body was trembling.

Grabbing Yael’s arm, he asked frantically, “Where’s Jaden? Where’s Jaden?”

Panic kept building inside him. “Where’s Jaden? Go find him! Please, go find him!”

Yael pulled him into his arms. One strong hand cupped the back of his head, his voice tight with strain. “Matthew already went. A lot of therians went. The Goldfinch Tribe, the Vulture Tribe, the White Tiger Tribe… a lot of tribes went. They’ll find Jaden. They will…”

Nearly every therian who had been at the marketplace had joined the search.

Taylor broke down sobbing. He cried so hard he was almost hyperventilating. “I’m going to find Jaden… I’m going to find him…”

Zachary was firing pottery with the others from his tribe when the news reached him.

The color drained from his face so fast he nearly lost his footing. Staggering, he immediately took off running.

Matthew, his expression dark with fury, led the other black panthers in cornering the hyenas. The hyenas who hadn’t managed to escape curled up on the ground, their screams echoing through the mountains for

what felt like forever.

The moment they force the hyenas to reveal Jaden’s whereabouts, the therians from the Vulture Tribe immediately led Matthew and the others in pursuit, heading straight toward the territory of the Black- winged Kite Tribe.

The winged nests had always been hidden away, usually tucked among cliffs and dangerous crags.

The Black–winged Kite Tribe had prepared for this long ago, so even the Vulture Tribe could only narrow the location down to a general area. Pinpointing it precisely was still incredibly difficult.

Alfred even announced to every tribe present, “Whoever finds Jaden, we’ll teach your tribe everything. Pottery, weaving, spices, all of it!”

Deep within the endless layers of untouched forest, sunlight was blocked by the dense canopy overhead.

In the dim undergrowth, a fierce black panther was chasing a gray rabbit that fled in blind terror ahead of him,

The panther pounced, pinned it down, and killed it with a bite. The entire sequence flowed together in one swift motion. Then he picked up the dying prey and continued forward.

The light grew dimmer. The terrain became steeper.

Stepping across slick, uneven rocks, the black panther finally stopped beside a river where multiple tributaries crossed and merged.

Sean shifted back into his human form and crouched down.

With practiced movements, he cleaned the dead long–eared beast, even washing out the internal organs until everything was spotless. Then he wrapped it tightly in broad leaves.
