Chapter 338 - Muir’s Old Nest (2/2)
“I’ll go hunt.” Muir said, “You’ll be safe here.”
Bai Qingqing’s countenance turned grim. “En.”
She wasn’t worried about herself. She was just worried that what the ape king said was true, and that she’d bring calamity to this place.
She was just a girl under twenty years old. While she was a little smart, she still lacked the stability and selfishness of adults. In order not to let others sink into danger, she’d rather stay somewhere without anyone.
If what the ape king said was true, that she would bring calamity to this world, then the calamities should follow her as well.
This place was filled with eagle beastmen and it was by the sea. Even if there was an earthquake or volcano eruption, there shouldn’t be any beastmen who would get injured.
After Muir left, the young eagles all came surging over, flapping their wings as they flew up to her.
“Screech screech screech—” [Female, look at me. My feathers are the darkest and brightest.]
“Screech screech screech screech—” [Look at me, my feathers are the thickest.]
“Screech screech screech screech screech screech—” [You guys are nothing. My wings are long.]
“Screech screech screech screech—” [My beak is sharp.]
Bai Qingqing blinked in a daze. She knew that these birds were all beastmen and smiled politely at them.
All the young eagles went into a daze, then chattered on for a while. After seeing that the female only smiled at them without saying anything, they exchanged glances and spoke softly amongst themselves.
[Does the female not understand our language?]
[It seems that way.]
[Are we only able to speak with females after we’ve matured and learned the beastmen’s common language?] An eagle beastman who was close to maturity said.
The young eagles weren’t able to fret for too long because Muir, who had gone out to hunt for food, had returned.
