Followed by adult eagle beastmen?
Muirâs heart sank. He instantly dove downwards. He couldnât let that group of eagle beastmen find him, else Qingqingâs whereabouts would be exposed.
[Hey, youâre going to scare away all the prey!] A young eagle shrunk in his stomach that had gone flat due to hunger and was prepared to fly elsewhere to capture prey when he halted upon hearing his brotherâs words.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Letâs go to where the adult eagles are. Perhaps they have also brought a female back.]
[Yeah, letâs go and look at the females!]
Several young eagles flapped their little wings and found the adult eagle beastmen following Curtis. Their father was among them.
[Itâs you?]
The young eaglesâ father flew out of the crowd and hovered before the young eagles.
The young eagles fought to speak.
[Dad, I hadnât expected to see you before coming of age. Weâre here to see the females. A grown eagle beastman brought back a female yesterday.]
[He said a formidable snake beastman is snatching the female. He told us to keep a watch nearby.]
The young eagle beastmenâs father let out a high-pitched screech as he said excitedly to his companions: [No need to follow the snake beastman anymore. Bai Qingqing is at Sea Cliff!]
âScreechââ
The eagle beastmen let out excited screeches that resonated throughout the entire forest.
Curtis glanced at them, feeling odd. He suddenly had an ominous feeling.
This is bad. Snow might have been discovered!
â¦
Several black figures flew by the clifftop of Sea Cliff briskly, making the atmosphere appear harsh and severe.
The eagle beastmen searched all the nests at Sea Cliff, but they couldnât find the female anywhere.
[Whereâs the female?] With a ferocious gaze, the grown eagle beastman asked the young eagles.
Under the intimidation of someone with more animal stripes than them, the young eagles were so terrified that they kept shivering.
They instinctively sensed these adult eagle beastmenâs killing intent towards Bai Qingqing. Even though these young eagle beastmen and that adult eagle beastman were basically father-and-son, none of them dared to make a sound.
[Let me tell you, that isnât a female. Sheâs just a good-looking monster who has a knack at bewitching males. With her around, many beastmen will die. Quick, tell me where they are.]
The young eagles stared at each other and finally quietly led them to Muirâs nest.
[They were here. But Muir just flew away with the female earlier.]
[In which direction?]
[There.]
Curtis followed closely. Upon seeing the eagle beastmen stop on the cliff, his heart was put to ease. He could sense that Bai Qingqing was somewhere else.
Some of the eagle beastmen flew towards the direction pointed out by the young eagles. Just to be safe, some continued to tag behind Curtis.
Curtis sneered inwardly. Seems like he had no choice but to settle this trouble once and for all.
â¦
With Bai Qingqing on his back, Muir flew through the forest and didnât dare fly in the skies.
âWhy is that group of eagle beastmen here? Did Curtis and Parker come?â Bai Qingqing felt ecstatic. Immediately after though, she shook her head. âCurtis said he would reach the seaside in another two weeksâ time. Parker isnât as fast as him either. Itâs a coincidence, I guess.â
Muir continued flying quietly.
Suddenly, Bai Qingqingâwho was lying face-down on Muirâs backâlet out a moan. Muir instantly landed on the ground.
âWhatâs the matter with you?â Muir asked nervously.
With a hand over her stomach, Bai Qingqing panted twice. âI feel a little uncomfortable with something bumping against my stomach.â
Muir lifted Bai Qingqing horizontally and gazed around, his tone urgent. âIâll bring you to the peacock tribe to look for a doctor. Youâre a female, they wonât ignore you.â
With one arm hooked around Muirâs neck, after resting for a while, Bai Qingqing felt much better. Hence, she said, âIâm fine, fleeing is more important.â
Muir took a look at Bai Qingqingâs countenance and continued in the same direction.
