Chapter 400 Doubting Muir

That day, Muir came hurriedly looking for her while covered in serious injuries and quickly left soon after. Now that she thought about it, his reason for leaving was suspicious too. The eagle beastmen’s mysterious deaths were strange too. Did all of this have something in common?

He said he was going to handle the eagle beastmen’s corpses. He could have just done it then. Why did he glance at her before leaving? Unless… he was looking at the snake tattoo on her foot, and he was going to check if Curtis was dead or alive?

No, that couldn’t be it! Curtis was so formidable. Muir would never be able to defeat him. Curtis would be fine.

Alva glanced inside the house. Seeing that they weren’t paying attention to him, he quietly slipped away.

He didn’t know Bai Qingqing had a temper. He found it cute since she was angry for her male. It made him envious of this average-looking leopard.

Alva thought he had slipped away silently, but he ultimately couldn’t escape the leopard beastman’s ears. Parker glanced at him and said to Bai Qingqing, “I came here a month ago. I could still pick up Curtis’s scent in the forest. The last place he went to the mountain, has been completely burned down.”

“Burned down?” Bai Qingqing’s heart clenched, and she could vaguely feel her feet burning

That’s right. She had felt her feet burning on that day too. She even soaked her feet in the river for more than half an hour.

“Take me there,” Bai Qingqing said in a low, pained voice, sounding like she was about to cry. Parker looked at her pale face, held her down, and said, “I can’t. You’re too weak right now. It’s not too late to take you there after you’ve recuperated for a few days.”

Bai Qingqing shook her head and replied, “I can’t wait any longer. Take me there now.”

It pained Parker to see her in such a state. He hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

“Okay.”

Parker wrapped the cubs in a small piece of animal skin and carried them with one hand. He then turned away from her and crouched down. “Get on my back. It’s far from here, so I’ll carry you there.”

“Mm.”

As Parker carried Bai Qingqing on his back,

cocks they passed by along the way had shocked expressions in their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

“When did this leopard beastman arrive? We’ve reduced the number of guards and received news that he was allowed to enter, but we should have noticed a beastman come into our village.”

As bird-type beastmen, their eyesight was their biggest advantage. And yet, they didn’t notice a beastman from a different tribe entering their village.

The more the peacock beastmen thought about it, the more fearful they became as they watched the leopard beastman leave while carrying his mate on his back. If he was a feral beast, all the females in the village would have been taken away.

Parker walked as if he was on wings and brought Bai Qingqing to the bush forest in less than twenty minutes.

A black eagle beastman dragged a bloodied wing and followed behind them from a distance. Panic reflected in his eyes as he watched them enter the bush forest.

Muir was worried that Parker would bring Bai Qingqing out of the peacock village. Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find Bai Qingqing in the future, he bore with the sharp pain and followed them without treating his wounds first. He didn’t think Parker would bring her to this place.

How did Parker know about this place? When he came to Sea Cliff, Curtis hadn’t gone outside for half a month. How did he manage to find the clues?

Do members of the leopard tribe have such a keen sense of smell?

With moisture from the abundant rain, the bush forest became covered in greenery after a month. Emerald green shoots had sprouted out of the burnt trees, and the charred ground was decorated with small patches of green grass.

However, it was still clear that the forest burned down, and it still looked burnt as a whole. The faint smell of charred wood could be smelled in the fresh air.

“The cave that Curtis lived in is right here. The inside burned as well, but I managed to pick up his scent in a few cracks and corners. He must have lived here for a long time.”
