Chapter 840 - Laying All the Cards On the Table (1) (1/2)

However, without the village’s protection, it would be too dangerous for females. Hence, Parker could only think about it.

It would be great if there no longer existed any perils that could pose a threat to Qingqing’s life.

As this thought came to him, Parker smiled. That would be impossible. If there no longer existed those carnivorous animals, they beastmen would also have nothing to eat.

Curtis was gone for a long time before returning. Parker was about to grumble when his face lit up at the sight of the succulent prey caught by him.

“Qingqing, you’ll get to eat fatty meat today,” Parker happily said as he walked towards the waterhole with the prey.

“Really?”

Bai Qingqing’s delighted voice rang out from inside the house, and shortly after she came running out.

Who would have thought that a girl who selectively ate lean meat for sixteen years of her existence would regard fatty meats as the ultimate delicacy after spending a few years in the beastman world?

Running into Curtis on her way out, Bai Qingqing’s smile sweetened. “Curtis.”

Curtis stroked her head and then let go.

“Go on.”

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing was about to run off to see just how fatty the prey was when she halted in her footsteps again.

“An’an is alone in the house. Can you keep an eye on her?”

Curtis nodded and replied, “Okay.”

With a smile, Bai Qingqing ran to crouch down beside Parker. She saw that the prey was indeed a very fat one. It was fair and fat, pretty much similar to the domesticated pigs of the modern ages.

“What animal is this? It looks so tender.” Bai Qingqing picked up a tree branch and, poking at it, could feel that it was full of fats. Seems like a lot of animal oil could be extracted from it.

Parker replied, “This is a tree worm, a creature that crouches inside a tree hole and only eats but doesn’t move at all. Of course, it’s fat.”

Bai Qingqing’s thoughts froze the moment she heard the word “worm”.

Worm…
