Chapter 66 - The Horde of Giant Beasts Is Coming (2/2)

If this were to go on, she would die.

The screeching of an eagle could be heard from the tree branch above once more. Cortis tightly grabbed Bai Qingqing’s hand and stared at the eagle beastman with enmity.

Standing on the tree branch, Moore transformed into human form. He said, “She’ll die because of you.”

“She’s dying because of you!” Cortis’s blood-red eyes narrowed into thin slits, exuding a strong murderous intent.

Things had just quieted down before the ground started shaking again. Cortis immediately lifted Bai Qingqing and prepared to continue on his way.

Moore said, “There’s no way you’re going to escape. The beast tide has split into three batches in the forest, and they’re coming from three directions. Unless you can run all the way without taking a breath, the two of you are going to end up dead.”

Cortis’s eyes widened, his arms holding Bai Qingqing involuntarily tightening.

Bai Qingqing let out a painful wince. “It hurts…”

Cortis hurriedly loosened his grip and gently coaxed her. “It doesn’t hurt anymore, doesn’t hurt anymore. Continue sleeping.”

Bai Qingqing then closed her eyes again.

The tremors caused by the giant beasts became more and more obvious. They had already caught up quite a distance with the exhausted Cortis. Having been held up by this incident, the figures of the giant beasts could already be seen in the forest.

Moore, who was getting anxious, said to Cortis, “Hand her over to me!”

Cortis wasn’t confident he could out-run these energetic giant beasts. He curled his tail around the tree and, with Bai Qingqing in his arms, speedily glided up the tree.

“Are you going to die with her?” Moore howled.

Seeing that Cortis was ignoring him, Moore anxiously transformed into beast form and flew up into the skies to look at the horde of giant beasts that was getting nearer and nearer.

If Cortis really wanted to die with the female, there was no way he could stop him.
