Chapter 965: Finally Seeing Daybreak

Bai Qingqing returned to the sky above where Curtis and Saint Zachary were fighting, shouting, “Curtis! Stop fighting with him! His speed can’t compare to yours! Let’s head back to the village directly!”

As an unexpected occurrence of Bai Qingqing’s life being threatened had taken place, Curtis’s mind was both chaotic yet extremely clear.

He had to send Qingqing back. Even if he couldn’t kill this scorpion, he had to let Qingqing break away from him.

Therefore, after a rapid dodge, Curtis turned and fled quickly. His tail was behind him, and the moment he turned, he dashed out several ten meters away. Saint Zachary noticed his intention but was unable to do anything. He could only give chase.

At the same time, he used his tail to make out rustling sounds on the sand, ordering all the scorpions nearby to prevent Curtis and the other two beastmen from leaving.

Curtis was like a sharp arrow, crushing all the scorpions on the ground with great ease as he cut through the air. His speed wasn’t affected at all, and he was able to throw Saint Zachary far behind him.

Parker and Winston moved their limbs quickly, and the scorpions had no time to crawl up before being tossed far behind them. As the two of them had covered their legs with animal skin, they weren’t afraid even if they were to step onto the scorpions’ tail spike.

Alva and Bai Qingqing were left at the very back, only feeling assured after watching everyone leaving. They were about to leave when Bai Qingqing looked toward Muir, who was resting on top of a short tree, almost integrating into one with the shadows of the leaves.

That bird figure seemed to hide even deeper into the leaves’ shadows. If it wasn’t because Bai Qingqing had seen him earlier, she might not have been able to notice him.

Bai Qingqing hesitated for a short moment before putting on a solemn expression and saying in a soft voice, “Be quick!”

That short tree shook intensely, and the leaves produced rustling sounds. Bai Qingqing watched on strangely, then saw a black figure flying over unsteadily. She then understood.

It must be the sounds he made when he was about to fly.

Muir’s mind and even his body were all in a dazed state. When he heard Bai Qingqing talking to him, he almost fell off the tree. Without even thinking, his body had flown out per her instructions.

He was like a marionette, making various movements as if he were being controlled by strings.

In about over an hour, Saint Zachary had already been thrown out of sight behind them. However, he was still using infrasound that Bai Qingqing was unable to hear to give out commands.

It was late at night, and the moons were full. The sand was illuminated brightly, and small scorpions could be seen attacking recklessly occasionally, looking like Curtis when he had been poisoned by scorpion venom.

An’an’s crying finally stopped. Bai Qingqing cradled her to sleep and started to feel sleepy again.

Worried that she might drop An’an if she were to fall asleep, she got Alva to land for a moment and then wrapped Alva with animal skin, making something like a sandbag for him to hold with his feet. She then climbed onto his back and slept in peace.

Bai Qingqing felt like she had only closed her eyes when she was woken up by the heat of the sun. She opened her eyes and saw that everyone was still rushing on their way.

Curtis had turned his upper body into his human form and was carrying An’an. He sharply noticed Bai Qingqing’s gaze and immediately raised his head, meeting her gaze and smiling gently.

Bai Qingqing said in elation, “Curtis, have you recovered completely?”

“Mm.”

Curtis’s voice wasn’t loud, but it mysteriously reached her ears very clearly.

His gentle voice was like a feather that was light as a snowflake, lightly brushing against her ear canals. Bai Qingqing’s face heated up and she smiled shyly, then hid her head under the animal skin coat to avoid the sun.

Thinking about it, it was a good thing that the scorpion beastmen had attacked Curtis when he was at his weakest. Otherwise, he’d still be fighting against themselves.
