Chapter 149 - Under the Escort of an Eagle Beastman (2/2)

Many eagles hovered in the skies above, and it looked like one of them was following Bai Qingqing and company.

“Why are those eagle beastmen following from such a far distance? Shouldn’t they be with their females?” Bai Qingqing asked as she gazed up at the skies.

With one shoe in each hand, Parker looked up at the sky and replied, “Those are eagle beastman that don’t have females. There are too many females out today. After rain, many wild beasts will come out to hunt for food, which makes the forest very dangerous. These eagle beastmen are here to protect the females.”

“Oh.” Bai Qingqing nodded. She looked up at one eagle beastman hovering above them. “That eagle beastman seems to be following us. Is he protecting me?”

Perhaps because the eagle right above was the nearest to her, it gave her the impression that this eagle was stronger than the other eagle beastmen. Could it be Moore?

Speaking of which, why did Moore never appear again? She felt she owed him a word of thanks. After all, he had done so much for her and was even nearly poisoned to death by Cortis.

Cortis looked up at the skies and narrowed his eyes, and something red could be seen flickering out of his mouth. “Ssss—”

All of a sudden, Bai Qingqing felt that the eagle’s gaze had become incredibly sharp. She was startled momentarily, but then she quickly relaxed.

Perhaps eagles’ eyes all looked like that. It was probably an illusion.

But as she lowered her head, she realized that Cortis’s mood seemed to have changed. It was then that she understood that this wasn’t a mere coincidence.

Could that really be Moore?

“It’s good that there’s an eagle protecting you. They can see distances far away, so if there’s a wild beast the eagle can inform us timely.” Parker then asked as he looked at the small plants around, “Qingqing, what kind of grass do you wish to eat?”

His voice snapped Bai Qingqing out of her trance. She lowered her head and looked at the plants around her, then her vision fixed upon a rotten piece of wood.
