Chapter 762 - What Was That Little Snake”? (2/2)

Specks of snow had drifted into the cave as well.

“Little snake?” Bai Qingqing called out softly as she poked the areas covered in snow with a stick.

“Roar?”

The cubs were dumbfounded. Mommy would only use that tone when calling out to them and An’an? What was that “little snake”? Why did Mommy call out to it just as gently as she would to them?

Jealous, the cubs ran over and mewled wheedlingly while rubbing themselves against her leg as if they had no bones.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Qingqing bent down and rubbed their backs, finding them really adorable.

The tender care and attention she gave to the leopard cubs caused them to rub themselves against her leg even harder.

Parker suddenly shushed them. His ears perked up as he looked for something. “Quiet,” he said softly.

“Mm?” Bai Qingqing followed his gaze and looked towards the innermost part of the cave. She quickly walked over to him and asked, “Is there something in there?”

“I’ll go in and see.” Parker pulled her behind him and stared into the cave. Without looking at the cubs, he said, “Protect Mommy.”

The sharp leopard cubs didn’t make a sound as they cautiously and seriously gathered around their mother like they were little adults.

Parker quietly walked into the dark part of the cave. Bai Qingqing lost sight of him due to her human vision, causing her to be so nervous that her heart leaped into her mouth.

There seemed to be something rubbing against the ground from underground. Feeling small vibrations in the mud with his feet, Parker bent down and lowered his upper body to sniff the ground.

The tip of his nose picked up the faint stench of a snake. Parker had an answer in his heart. It was the smell of the little snake.

For the little snake’s safety, he had masked its scent after entering the cave. Since the ground had its scent, it meant that it had come out before.

Parker found the source of the noise underground. His hands transformed into claws and he quickly dug into the ground.
