When a beast is in danger or is dying, they do at least one of the following:
They try to take you down with them.
If they are not strong enough or are unable to do the one above, then they call out for help—one last cry for help.
But there was one time when they would just resign to their fate and die; that is, when the power disparity between their attacker and them was too huge, so much so that they knew that even if they called out to their friends, they were going to rush into their deaths.
The last screech that Alex heard from the bush was also one of them, but he frowned as he found out what that pained scream meant.
"HELP!"
That's what that shriek from before meant.
How could Alex understand what the best said?
Well, he could pretty much guess from the emotions and intentions he heard from that voice, but right now, he was able to do it because of a skill that the AI had copied a while ago.
Shocked, right?
