Chapter 451 - Untitled (2/2)

It was just that the breakthroughs that snake beastmen went through took a lot of time. Besides, Curtis was also being targeted by the eagle beastmen. Therefore, he encased himself in a Big-Headed Tree’s resin and hid from the eagle beastmen.

The Big-Headed Tree’s resin couldn’t burn and could fend off high temperatures. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have become a life-saving method. It was just that snakes were afraid of heat. Thus, it would still feel uncomfortable.

Bai Qingqing immediately thought of the charred bush forest, and her heart wrenched up. She raised her hand and grabbed Curtis’s big hand wrapped around her waist.

“I know. Muir was the one who set the fire…” Bai Qingqing couldn’t bear to ask too much into the details and skipped that part. “What happened after that?”

“Things had been going on smoothly, and I had already achieved success in my breakthrough and was resting. I didn’t expect to suddenly arrive in a cold environment and accidentally go into slumber.”

The first half was spoken without emotions, but the latter part was filled with pity. He rubbed his chin against the top of Bai Qingqing’s head.

“I didn’t think through things and wasn’t able to find you in time. This won’t happen again.”

Bai Qingqing tried to imagine that scene, and her throat felt very uncomfortable as if a ball of cotton was stuck there. She grabbed tightly onto Curtis’s hand, using so much force that her joints turned pale.

Bluepool was also stunned. Snakes were afraid of the heat, right? Even if he hid in a rock, it would still feel very scorching, right?

As expected of a four-striped or higher beastman. What was terrifying about him wasn’t just his battle prowess, but more his tenacity and tolerance.

“Thankfully, you’re alright. I’m sorry…” Bai Qingqing’s voice was hoarse. If it wasn’t for her, Curtis wouldn’t have been through such hardship.

The cold environment that Curtis was talking about should be the bottom of the deep sea. It was really very cold down there. The depths that Curtis landed in was definitely deeper than where she had been for it to result in him going into hibernation.

Curtis flipped his hand and grabbed onto her hand, flicking out his tongue and licking her face.

“Don’t cry. It wasn’t painful. It was very hot in the beginning, but a cool feeling encased me later on and the discomfort went away.”

He rubbed Bai Qingqing’s hand with his fingers, his bright red lips curling up into a smile.
