Chapter 912: Woke Up in Darkness

Roar!

Parker’s emotions were the most exposed. When the connection with his mate stopped working, he started digging the ground frantically, releasing huffing and puffing sounds. No one knew how long he continued this crazy action, but the white fur on both sides of the corners of his lips was covered in white foam.

Winston was never one to start a fight with someone, but after losing his mate, he was also overcome with fury.

Before he left, Bai Qingqing was right by Parker’s side, so he naturally vented his anger onto him. He let out a roar and charged toward Parker, sending him flying with a collision.

Parker let out an agonizing howl. Before he could get up, Winston wanted to charge out at him again.

Bang! A loud sound rang out, and a massive snake tail blocked two beastmen.

Curtis, the one who usually bullied the leopard, became the one to maintain the balance between the three of them instead. Wearing an expression of an impending storm, he opened his mouth and spoke in a bone-chilling voice, “Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I’ll find Snow!”

After saying that, Curtis flicked out his tongue. What answered him was the rustling sounds coming from all directions. Many small and thin snakes slithered over as if they were attracted by a magnet.

Winston also recovered his rationality, but his fury couldn’t dissipate. Because he was holding his fury in, the scar coming down from his forehead, past his eye, and even reaching to his lips, started twitching non-stop. Even though he was in his human form, he still looked terrifying like an ancient ferocious beast.

“I think I know who it is!”

“Who?” Curtis asked.

Parker also looked at Winston while panting away.

“Scorpion king!”

Right after they left, the scorpion king also left Flame City. Then, this thing happened.

Other than the scorpion beastman, Winston couldn’t think of anyone else who could have such a great ability to snatch Qingqing away right before Parker, a four-striped beastman.

Parker was used to the forest and didn’t understand what the beastmen from the desert was capable of. It was normal for him to be placed at a disadvantage.

In the end, he was too careless.

Winston clenched his fists tightly, smashing the ground with great regret.

…

When Bai Qingqing opened her eyes, what she saw was endless darkness. It was so dark that she doubted if she had opened them.

After rubbing her eyes, she suddenly recalled that she and An’an had been abducted by a scorpion beastman. She started feeling around the surroundings.

Touching a small body, Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief. She touched the child’s face.

“An’an?”

It was really her An’an. Her chubby cheeks and tender skin couldn’t lie.

When Bai Qingqing touched An’an’s eyes, she realized, to her surprise, that An’an was also awake. However, she didn’t kick up a fuss.

“An’an, don’t be scared. Mommy is here.” Bai Qingqing kissed An’an’s face twice. Then, An’an wrapped her arms around Bai Qingqing’s neck, nudging hard against her chest.

When children felt scared, they’d have a strong urge to eat. It was their way of seeking consolation.

However, Bai Qingqing didn’t dare to feed her now. There was a high chance that she was facing a scorpion beastman who wanted to have sex with her. It’d be bad if the beast in him burst out.

Bai Qingqing opened her eyes wide and looked around, even though she couldn’t see anything.

“Who are you?”

A sigh rang out in the darkness. Then, a familiar male voice with a hint of teasing rang into her ears.

“Why aren’t you crying like the other captured females? I was already prepared to coax you, but you’re being so wary, making it hard for me to make a move.”

Bai Qingqing’s ears perked up to listen for a while, her countenance looking a little stunned. She asked, a little uncertain, “Scorpion king?”

“I told you to call me Mitchell.”

As Mitchell said this, he raised his hand and stroked the female’s palm-sized face.

As they were underground, the temperature was pretty low. Bai Qingqing felt so cold that her face had turned pale, and her skin felt cold as well.

Mitchell felt a little displeased to come into contact with her cold skin. Thankfully, her skin was still soft like water like he remembered.
