Chapter 287 The Furious Beast
Yasmin's face changed.
"Watch out—"
She had just shouted when an arrow shot forward at lightning speed, striking Isabella directly in the heart.
Isabella only felt a sharp pain in her chest. Looking down, she saw an arrow lodged straight into her heart.
Flynn and Marshall watched this scene, both pausing, their eyes showing slight surprise as they looked at the arrow in Marshall's chest.
Looking toward the person who had shot this arrow, it was Kismet.
Kismet held the bow, wearing a cold sneer as she slowly walked toward Isabella, her eyes showing no trace of panic but instead filled with pleasure.
"Was my aim good?" Kismet came before Isabella, watching her clutch her chest as her whole body convulsed, watching as the hand covering her heart was stained red with blood seeping out. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a mocking smile.
"Shooting you is just like shooting an animal—no feeling at all."
Kismet lightly patted Isabella's face with her palm. Even that wasn't enough for her, so she lifted her knee and kicked hard into Isabella's abdomen.
Isabella couldn't bear it and fell to her knees.
"Didn't you just say you wouldn't kneel? Let me show you what happens now!" Kismet grabbed Isabella's hair, raised her hand, and was about to give Isabella a heavy slap.
Suddenly, a beast's roar sounded in her ears, and a gust of wind struck.
Almost in the same second, Kismet's entire body was knocked away by a white giant beast, thrown heavily dozens of meters away.
Where Pippa passed, a sharp wind swept through, directly blowing Flynn and Marshall to the ground.
Before anyone could see clearly what had happened, a scream rang out—shrill, terrifying, and piercing.
It came from Kismet!
Flynn and Marshall looked toward Kismet's direction, only to see one of her arms torn completely off by Pippa.
"Help! Save me, my arm!"
The intense pain made Kismet roll on the ground. Her severed arm spurted blood everywhere.
The bloody scene instantly shocked everyone present into stunned silence.
This was Gwyneth's beast!
After biting off Kismet's arm, Pippa roared furiously toward the sky. Then, with a swing of its body, Kismet was thrown like a kite with a broken string, flying over a hundred meters away and crashing heavily to the ground.
Finnegan, Flynn, and Marshall all stared blankly at this giant beast, their eyes filled with fear, as if looking at some kind of monster.
What was happening?
Why was Pippa acting like this?
They backed away in horror.
However, in the next second, Pippa charged toward them with the force of thunder.
Pippa's sharp front claws went straight for Flynn's vulnerable neck.
Flynn raised his hand to block this fatal strike, but in the next second, his entire body was knocked down by Pippa and dragged dozens of meters. Pippa's sharp claws pierced deeply into his abdomen, grinding him across the ground.
Flynn was in too much pain to make a sound. He opened his eyes to look at Pippa's blood-red eyes and those fierce fangs, his pupils filled with fear.
Finnegan and Marshall's expressions looked like they'd seen a ghost. They turned and ran.
Pippa sensed this, swatted Flynn away with one paw, then swept toward the fleeing Finnegan and Marshall like a gust of wind, knocking them to the ground.
Finnegan and Marshall were struck to the ground unable to move, their backs also slashed by the sharp claws with wounds deep enough to see bone.
Finnegan and Marshall wailed on the ground, their eyes full of terror.
"Help!"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
The fury in Pippa's blood-red eyes hadn't subsided. It roared, the sound echoing throughout the entire back mountain, startling all the birds in the forest into flight.
The beast's roar naturally carried an extremely terrifying sense of oppression. Even those in the castle who didn't hear the sound felt an unusual presence and realized something was wrong.
The faces of several elders who were in a meeting all changed.
"It's Pippa!"
"Something must have happened behind the castle!"
They quickly rushed toward the back of the castle.
At the same time, Dane, who had discovered Pippa was missing, also arrived at the archery range. Seeing Pippa at this moment, he was instantly stunned.
The current Pippa was radiating terrifying killing intent from head to toe, clearly in a state of rage.
This was the first time he'd seen this beast enraged. He didn't know what had happened or why Pippa had suddenly become like this.
Pippa pressed one claw on Flynn's chest, opening its mouth to bite Flynn's thigh.
"Pippa! Stop!"
Dane shouted and lunged toward Pippa, trying to stop it.
However, in the next second, Dane was swatted away by Pippa.
Dane spat blood, falling painfully to the ground.
Pippa really wasn't giving him any face at all.
Dane gritted his teeth and struggled to get up from the ground.
Several elders finally arrived. They flew over, and seeing Pippa at the archery range, they all surrounded it.
Pippa could understand human speech.
The elders first sternly tried to stop it. "You stupid tiger! What are you doing? Do you know the consequences of hurting people?"
"When Ms. Powell gets here, let's see how you explain this to her!"
"Stop right now! Is this a place where you can hurt people at will?"
"..."
Pippa bristled all its fur and walked toward the elders.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Suddenly, Pippa went crazy and attacked one of the elders.
Seeing this, the elders' faces changed.
"This stupid tiger has too much nerve—it won't even give us face!"
"Wilder, be careful!"
"Quick, let's work together to subdue it! Otherwise, there'll be endless trouble!"
The elders scrambled to fight with Pippa.
The scene became chaotic.
In the midst of the chaos, Yasmin knelt on the ground, holding Isabella in her arms, saying urgently, "Hang in there. I've already called for help. We can get you to the hospital soon."
The position where Isabella was injured in her chest was too dangerous. Yasmin didn't dare move her, but based on her experience, this arrow probably hadn't hit her heart directly—otherwise Isabella couldn't possibly still be breathing.
This was good news.
Yasmin looked at Isabella anxiously, seeing her lips begin to turn pale and her eyes start to lose focus. She could only keep saying in her ear, "Listen to me, hang in there a little longer. You won't die. Just hang in there a little longer."
