Upon hearing this, Ford also let Becky sniff it.
Bai Qingqing, who couldn’t bear to watch this scene, looked into the distance. And she saw that elsewhere, other females were sniffing the Flos Eriocauli too.
She was speechless.
Just as she was about to shift her gaze away, the figure of a snake entered her vision.
“Curtis?”
The snake was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Bai Qingqing and transformed his upper body into its human form.
“Are those scorpion beastmen still pestering you?” Curtis asked with a frown. He instantly knew what was going on when he saw that the surveillance in the tiger village was tighter than usual.
Bai Qingqing gave Curtis a helpless gaze.
“I’ll kill them.” The murderous intent in Curtis’s voice was unmistakable.
Ford couldn’t help but look towards him, wondering what gave this stripeless snake beastman the confidence to declare he was going to kill a group of scorpion beastmen?
But for some reason, he didn’t dare to voice out his thoughts.
Bai Qingqing hurriedly said, “Don’t. What if you accidentally kill a good scorpion? It has been a long time since their last attack. Perhaps they have given up on this thought. Winston only asked them to stay alert because he’s worried.”
Curtis looked impatient, though he didn’t insist.
Very quickly, though, reality gave Bai Qingqing a tight slap in the face.
That afternoon, the tiger beastmen who went out to exchange for salt returned, but the meat upon their shoulders was gone.
The moment they exited the village, they were ambushed by the scorpion tribe. Instead of battling them, the scorpions focused on destroying the food, spitting venom all over the meat that they couldn’t bear to eat the entire cold season.
The temperature was sufficiently high that if they were to make smoked meat now, it would certainly rot. Their hopes of having salt this year were dashed.
Silence emanated throughout the entire village.
