Chapter 579 - Found Their Hidden Stash of Food (2/2)

Ssss~

Curtis flicked out his tongue and sniffed the ground.

After such a severe earthquake, surely the things weren’t buried in the depths of the earth?

He didn’t give up and searched all over the mountains. A tuft of abnormally crowded green seedlings attracted his attention.

Curtis’s tail swung from side to side as he slithered over.

The rainy season had just passed, and a tight cluster of flowers had bloomed from the seedlings.

Curtis transformed into a human and dug away the soil around the seedling.

Indeed, there was a wine jar hidden underneath.

So, it turned out this tuft of seedlings turned rotten from contact with water due to the poor quality of the animal skin bag in which it was placed. As a result, the wheat germinated.

Thankfully, the other animal skin bags were very sturdy. He opened up the bags and saw that the flour, wheat, and rice grains were intact.

Curtis’s expression relaxed. He tied everything into a single bundle using a vine and started dragging the large bundle home.

It only took him seven days to reach this place, and three days to locate the items. Now, with all sorts of luggage dragging him down, Curtis’s speed slowed down considerably, and it ended up taking him a month to make it back to the village.

Roar—

The majestic roar of a tiger beastman reverberated throughout the mountains. Bai Qingqing could hear the excitement in the voice, and she knew that something joyous had happened in the village again.

“Parker, hurry up and carry me down.” Bai Qingqing set aside the needlework and pulled the ear of the leopard snoozing on the floor.

Ever since she got to eat the fish she had been craving for, her appetite had become better, and with that, her stomach started bulging. Clad in animal skin clothing that exposed her midriff, one could see that her abdomen had visibly bulged up.

Parker, sprawled on the ground, let out a roar and transformed into a human. But his sharp ear was still in Bai Qingqing’s hand. Hands feeling itchy, she pinched his ear, causing it to indistinctly turn red at the tip.

Parker waved away her hand and said, feigning anger, “Don’t you know you shouldn’t pinch a male’s ear?”
