Chapter 74 - The Giant Beasts Climb Up the Mountain (1/2)

After finalizing their plans, Moore flew out to find wet mud, whereas Parker stayed on the clifftop to protect Bai Qingqing.

The giant beasts were getting more and more manic. Looking down from atop the cliff, the beasts were so densely packed together that they seemed like a colony of ants. Their roars caused a vibration that made the clouds separate and even caused the skies to drizzle a little.

Parker felt it was strange and stared at the skies for a good while. On the other hand, Bai Qingqing, who more or less understood the physics of it, didn’t feel strange.

Parker wasn’t like Moore, who could fly at any moment. If the giant beasts were to climb up, the only fate that awaited them was death. Hence, he kept a watch very cautiously from the top of the cliff.

Bai Qingqing kept feeling a pain in her chest. Taking the opportunity that Parker was away, she lifted her top and took a look.

The wound on her chest had actually healed, and all that was left were two light pink scars.

Bai Qingqing was astonished. Her white clothes were clean. If it weren’t for the two pink scars on her chest, she would have thought that Cortis’s attack was merely her hallucination.

Did Cortis infect her with his powerful healing prowess? It was no wonder that she didn’t even bleed yesterday while sleeping face down.

Bai Qingqing held a hand over her chest—not sure whether it was her mind playing tricks on her, but she instantly felt a sharp pain in her heart. After she let go, the sharp pain went away, replaced by a dull ache that didn’t go away.

Bai Qingqing’s hand felt the lively snake tattoo on her ankle. This mini version of Cortis circled three rounds around her leg—his head was leaning on the topmost round of his body, and his red eyes appeared slightly blurry as if it was covered by a transparent film or something—she knew from this that this snake tattoo was asleep.

The snake tattoo seemed capable of breathing. With the throbbing of her veins, Bai Qingqing felt her ankle tighten and loosen, as though it was bound by shackles.

“Cortis…” Bai Qingqing murmured. She had a premonition—that Cortis could sense her presence through this connection.

“Roar!” The roars of the giant beasts suddenly rang throughout the top of the cliff. The strong and powerful sound waves shook the stone shed and caused a tremor.

Bai Qingqing immediately ran out. There actually stood a giant beast on top of the cliff, and Parker was right in front blocking the way.
