124: Winston’s in a Coma

Winston’s in a Coma

Bai Qingqing muttered as she pointed out the window, "I think… there's a beastman outside who got struck by lightning…"2

Parker looked outside the window and replied, "There really is a beast lying on the floor."

He then climbed out of the window.

Bai Qingqing quickly said, "Be careful."

Parker transformed into a leopard and vigorously jumped into the rain. Before long, he walked through the door while holding a tiger between his jaws. He then left it in the main room and didn't enter the bedroom.

Parker shook the water off his body before transforming into a human. "I'll let him take shelter from the rain since he gave you a green crystal."

Bai Qingqing jumped out of Curtis's arms and felt her way around as she walked to the main room. "Is that Winston? Did he get struck by lightning?"

Parker sniffed and replied, "I don't think so. He doesn't smell like lightning."

"How did he pass out then?" Bai Qingqing's hand landed on the flint beside the pile of firewood and struck it, creating a series of sparks.

Parker snatched the flint from her, and a small fire rose in the house.

At that moment, Curtis moved his snake tail and entered the main room. He looked at Winston carefully for a moment before saying, "He's been poisoned."

Bai Qingqing froze. Remembering that Curtis was a venomous snake, she immediately asked, "Can you neutralize the poison?"

Curtis replied, "I can only neutralize my own poison. I remember that he rescued a female from the hands of a scorpion feral beast, so he was probably stung by him. Since he could survive until now, it means that the poison isn't fatal to him."

"But he passed out." Bai Qingqing was confused. Everyone was in their homes during this period. If Winston was poisoned, why did he come out?

"He probably wasn't harmed by someone, right?" Bai Qingqing couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Who would harm a beastman with four animal stripes? He's a source of pride in the City of Beastmen," Parker immediately retorted. Just as he finished speaking, he heard chaotic footsteps amidst the sound of falling rain.

"There's a lot of beastmen outside."

Bai Qingqing was taken aback. She then firmly ordered Parker to quickly hide Winston.

Parker hid him in the pile of firewood.

Outside the house, a group of wolves lowered their heads as they carefully analyzed the scent.

"Howl~" The scent had disappeared here.

A group of wolves huddled together and sniffed, then looked at the stone house opposite.

"Bang bang bang—"

Shuu transformed into a human and knocked on the wooden door.

The door was forcefully flung open from the inside, causing Shuu to quickly dodge so that he wouldn't be sent flying.

"What?" Parker asked curtly as he stared at Shuu with aggression in his eyes. This guy had the nerve to fight with him for his female. He would kill him for that one day.

Shuu's eyes scanned the interior of the house. A fire had been lit. His expression softened when he saw Bai Qingqing seemingly trying to warm herself up. "Qingqing."

Curtis instantly exuded a dangerous aura, narrowing his eyes as he looked towards the door.

Bai Qingqing was the only one worried about Winston. She asked Shuu nervously, "It's late. What are you doing here?"

Shuu replied, "Just passing by. Have you guys seen Winston?"

Bai Qingqing secretly felt wary as she shook her head.

It was possible that Shuu didn't harbor any ill intentions, but Winston's actions were too strange. It would be too risky to suddenly hand him over to beastmen of a different species. If it were tiger beastmen, she would feel slightly more relieved.

"What happened? It's raining so heavily now. I don't think anyone would come out," Bai Qingqing asked tentatively.

Shuu replied, "He's gone mad. He suddenly rushed out when the ape king was giving him treatment and bit a lot of people. It's fine as long as you're alright. I'll continue looking for him."

"Howl!"

A wolf beastman howled unhappily.

Shuu glared at the wolf coldly and said, "The rain washed away his scent. We'll move forward and continue our search."
