1261: Asking Curtis for Help

Asking Curtis for Help

The rain was too heavy, and Parker eventually lost the fox beastman's traces. He tried his luck and searched in the vicinity, but eventually went back sheepishly.2

Muir had left markings in the forest, so he was able to find Bai Qingqing smoothly.

Bai Qingqing looked at Parker, who came back alone. She didn't wish to say anything and buried her face into Muir's embrace.

The other party was a fox beastman. They still had this lead and could search the villages one by one. They'd be able to find him one day. No matter what, she wouldn't give up on her own child.

It had long reached the time for Bai Qingqing to have lunch. Although Parker was worried for the little eagle, his level of concern wasn't comparable to letting her stay hungry. He gave it some thought before saying, "It's useless for us to stay here. Let's go back first."

Bai Qingqing took a look at Left, who had fallen asleep in her arms, then said softly, "Alright."

On the way back, Bai Qingqing was wrapped up with big leaves, so both Left and herself weren't drenched by the rain.

Left wasn't a pampered young master, after all, and was born with the beastmen's alertness. When he arrived in an unfamiliar environment, he immediately woke up and looked around, assessing the surroundings.

When he saw the big snake sleeping in a corner, Left cried out happily. "Screech screech screech!"

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

Muir's face turned black. If this was a comic, a # would definitely be appearing on his forehead.

Curtis looked at them, his blood-colored eyes revealing a hint of surprise. He turned into his human form and asked, "Why have you brought them back now?"

Curtis then looked at them and asked, "Where's the other one?"

"Screech screech screech! Screech screech screech!" Left cried out non-stop as if complaining.

Bai Qingqing lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "He has gone missing."

Curtis's expression was calm. He beckoned to her and said, "You've been in the rain, right? Your hair has tangled up. Come over here, I'll comb your hair for you."

Bai Qingqing carried Left and walked over, pouncing into his arms. She raised her head and looked at him pleadingly, saying, "Help me look for Right."

"Screech screech screech screech!" Left also looked up and cried out toward Curtis, his expression looking exactly the same as his mommy's.

Curtis suddenly felt moved and took an additional look at Left.

"Curtis~" Bai Qingqing shook his arm in a spoiled manner, but her face was filled with grief.

Curtis always agreed to her requests. He hated eagle beastmen, but when he looked at the little eagle who shared a great resemblance to Bai Qingqing, his cold heart turned a little warm.

"Alright," Curtis replied. "There are a lot of wild snakes now. I'll get them to search for him. There should be leads very soon."

He was just afraid that the snakes who went out to search for Right would get eaten up instead.

Bai Qingqing immediately told him all of the leads they found. Curtis immediately let out a long hiss. Not long later, densely packed rustling sounds rang out in the room.

The sounds got increasingly closer and clearer. Bai Qingqing noticed something and backed off with Left, walking over to Muir's side.

Curtis let out a faint smile, then got up to walk out.

Bai Qingqing followed after him curiously. She then saw from the door numerous wild snakes outside, crawling around in the courtyard, instantly turning it into a snake den.

"Gulp~" She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suddenly felt giddy. She headed back while supporting herself against the wall.

"Screech!" Left was very excited. Daddy had fed them snakes before, and he liked the taste a lot. Therefore, he had a craving to eat the little snakes when he saw them.

Bai Qingqing was Left's mommy, after all, and could tell what he was thinking. She turned his head back and coaxed. "Be good. Let's go back and rest. There'll be food for you."

"Screech~" Left agreed reluctantly.
