Chapter 1072: Escaping Successfully (3)

Mitchell was taken by surprise. He didn’t know about this, and his expression was shown honestly.

“I… casually placed him behind a rock.” After hesitating for a short instant, Mitchell spoke the truth. Anyway, they’d be able to find it no matter where it was hidden.

Saint Zachary was overwhelmed with rage and shattered that rock. However, he didn’t find the black crystal.

“Hehe… Hehehe…” Saint Zachary was stunned for quite a while before he broke out laughing from anger. It’d naturally be easy to hide his traces given his powerful mental power. But why did he betray us?

Mitchell recalled what had happened yesterday and was struck by a realization. He told Saint Zachary about the conversation between Bai Qingqing and the ape king.

After hearing this, Saint Zachary fell silent for a very long time. He couldn’t help but feel surprised for Bai Qingqing’s good luck.

“Go and find their traces. I’ll stay behind and keep watch over the snake beastman.”

Saint Zachary was a really old creature who had lived for several centuries. He calmed down very quickly. With the snake beastman around, he wouldn’t need to feel scared that Bai Qingqing won’t return docilely.

Mitchell heaved a large sigh of relief and ran off as if escaping.

…

In the narrow cave, a fire was set up, and the flickering light from the fire lit up the entire place.

A huge eagle beastman had the task of adding firewood. He squatted down by the fire, occasionally picked up two chunks of firewood emitting moisture as they were left to dry. During other times, he would keep staring at the leopard and tiger lying down on the grass pile next to the fire.

Cough.

To say it more accurately, he was looking at the female between them. However, her figure couldn’t be seen because she was squeezed too tightly between them.

Bai Qingqing felt that her body was very heavy, and she was even having difficulty breathing. Moreover, it was extremely hot. After moving, she felt that her entire body was enveloped by something furry.

What soft toy is this? It’s so big and so heavy that I’m going to be squashed to death.

Bai Qingqing furrowed her brows, having an impulse to kick the soft toy away.

In her heart, she had kicked out fiercely. But her leg, pressed under the leopard’s stomach, only lifted slightly.

The leopard immediately opened his golden eyes, turning his head to look at Bai Qingqing, then licked her face gently.

Winston also raised his head because of Parker’s action, looking toward her face.

Bai Qingqing’s long and curly lashes moved, and he finally opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dazed eyes.

“Howl~ Hooowwl!” [Qingqing, you’ve finally woken up.]

Parker almost cried tears of joy, his furry head nudging against Bai Qingqing’s body, nudging away all the dazedness in her eyes. Her dark brown pupils started focusing.

“It’s so heavy.” The moment Bai Qingqing spoke, her hoarse voice shocked even herself. She licked her dry and flaking lips, wanting to ask for water, when a leaf in the shape of a boat and containing water appeared in front of her.

She looked up and saw that the other end was a bending eagle beak. She then met a pair of extremely sharp and deep eyes.

Eagle beastmen could be said to have eyes that had the greatest killing prowess, and Muir was one at the very top amongst all eagle beastmen. If it wasn’t because she had known him for so long, Bai Qingqing might not be able to stand it when their gazes meet.

Winston turned into his human form, took the leaf from Muir, then brought the water to Bai Qingqing’s lips, his voice unbelievably gentle. “Have some water first.”

His careful tone made Bai Qingqing feel as if she didn’t have long left to live, and she felt upset.

After drinking water, Bai Qingqing’s throat felt a lot better, and she was also more awake.

“How long have I been asleep for? Where is this place?” Bai Qingqing asked.

Parker also turned into his human form, wrapping her tightly with animal skin.
