Chapter 63
Howl! Where did the egg come from?
Parker looked up and saw Moore flying in the sky. He immediately understood what had happened and wildly roared at the sky.
Cortis continued to wash Bai Qingqings head. Now that he had calmed down slightly, his actions were gentler.
Bai Qingqing was terrified by what Cortis said and naturally cooperated with him. However, no matter how much he washed her head, he couldnt get rid of the odor. Even a human like her, whose sense of smell wasnt as good, could easily smell it.
Cortiss snake tail was firmly pressed to the ground. All of a sudden, he said, Theyre coming.
Bai Qingqings body trembled as she pleadingly grabbed Cortiss hand and frantically begged him. Can we go back to the gap?
No. Cortis carried her and quickly slithered away from the oncoming beast tide. He explained, There are too many giant beasts. The rocks wont be enough to stop them. The only thing we can do is run.
Bai Qingqing nodded in understanding, then quietly remained in Cortiss arms so as not to cause any problems for him.
Cortis slithered through the jungle as fast as he could.
He usually tried to slow down as he knew that Bai Qingqings body wasnt in good condition. Otherwise, even if Parker knew the route, he would never be able to catch up to them.
Parker stretched out his legs and chased after them with all his might. Despite him running as quickly as he could, the distance between them gradually widened as he wasnt as fast as Cortis.
Leopard beastmen didnt have the stamina to sprint for extended periods of time, and moving at high speeds would cause them to overheat and die. Previously, Parker nearly lost his life from chasing after them after losing an excessive amount of blood.
After chasing after them for more than ten minutes, Parker forced himself to slow down so as to not put his life in danger.
The tremors grew stronger. The giant beasts had indeed returned.
Parker climbed up a tree with all his might before the beasts caught up to him. He was so exhausted that he lay motionless on a branch like a dead leopard whose neck had been bitten off.
After Cortis slithered for about two hours, he finally breathed a small sigh of relief when he felt the vibrations in the ground gradually become weaker.
He had fully transformed into a beast so that he could slither faster. After his upper body transformed back into human form, he reassured Bai Qingqing, saying, Dont worry. I wont let you die.
Bai Qingqing nodded. She then worriedly looked at the pink scars on Cortiss chest and asked, Are you okay? Do you want to rest for a bit? Your wounds havent fully healed yet.
Its okay, Cortis replied as he panted. He continued to sway his snake tail and slither forward. The giant beasts have excellent stamina. Theyll catch up to us the moment I stop.
Bai Qingqing could only keep quiet.
Screech
An eagles screech could be clearly heard from the sky, and an eagles shadow quickly flashed across the ground.
Moore had been following them this whole time.
Cortis hugged Bai Qingqing tightly, then brought his cold lips to her cheek and said resolutely, I wont let you go!
The eagle beastmans objective was clear. He was forcing him to hand over Xiao Bai.
Cortis had a determined look on his face. He would protect his mate until his very last breath.
Bai Qingqing wasnt a fool. She immediately understood the eagle beastmans intentions and had mixed emotions.
She felt Cortis losing his grip on her. The giant beasts were not that much slower than Cortis and had excellent stamina. It was only a matter of time before Cortis collapsed.
She wanted to leave Cortis, but she didnt want him to suffer either. She couldnt help but attempt to persuade him, saying, Cortis, why dont
Bai Qingqing looked up at Cortiss handsome face. When her eyes landed on his resolute expression, she quickly swallowed back her words.
What? Glancing distractedly at her, Cortiss heart ached upon seeing that all the color had drained from her face. He said, Just hang on for a while more. Ill try to steady my movements.
Bai Qingqing apologetically lowered her head. Okay.
