Chapter 102 - Chopping Firewood (2/2)

“Eat worms?” Bai Qingqing wasn’t sure she heard correctly. She walked over and took a look.

Parker raised his ax and chopped at the root of the tree. Several fat white worms the size of a finger came tumbling out. Parker raised one up and handed it to Bai Qingqing. “This worm is very nourishing. Hurry up and eat it. I’ll help you dig more.”

Bai Qingqing was so startled she retreated several steps, tree branches pricking at her soles and causing her pain. She repeatedly waved her hand and said, “I’m not eating that. Don’t give it to me.”

Parker gazed at Bai Qingqing with pity in his eyes and was prepared to place the worm into his mouth when Bai Qingqing shrieked out loud and yelled, “You shouldn’t eat that too!”

That fat worm wriggled about in Parker’s hand. Parker’s hand halted about five centimeters away from his mouth—the worm only had to lunge forward and it would touch his lips.

Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She felt like a worm had squirmed into her throat, and it made her feel super disgusted.

Beastmen were probably used to eating such stuff. Bai Qingqing merely said though, “I’m scared.”

Upon hearing this, Parker instantly tossed the worm away. “I won’t eat it, then.”

He then stomped the worm to death.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes widened as she stared at Parker’s foot. She could imagine that worm turning into a pile of goo underneath Parker’s foot. This thought made her feel terrible.

A large tree branch with luxuriant tree leaves fell from the skies. Bai Qingqing looked up upon hearing the sound. Cortis was curled around the tree trunk looking down at her.

“There are eggs. Do you eat them?” Cortis asked with uncertainty. He had originally wanted to directly take them down, but when he heard Bai Qingqing reject the worms that the leopard offered to her, he wasn’t so sure anymore.

They are similarly sticky foods. Will Xiao Bai like them?

Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up. She raised her head and walked towards that tree Cortis was on.

“Yes! What egg is that?” Hesitation flashed across Bai Qingqing’s eyes, then she said, “Forget it. This is others’ offspring. When you guys hunt, you don’t even capture the young ones.”
