Chapter 864 - Dug a Hole and Buried Himself (1/2)
Hearing that, Bai Qingqing went to pull on the rope.
The weight at the other end of the rope wasn’t light. Without the quicksand river’s inertia, it was hard for Alva to pull it up either. However, the rope still moved up gradually.
The anxiety on Bai Qingqing’s face lightened a little. Then, the rope suddenly turned light. Caught unaware, she fell with her butt landing on the scorching sand.
Alva stumbled for two steps and stabilized his body. He reached to pull Bai Qingqing and asked, “How are you?”
Bai Qingqing looked at the rope that had been drawn out in its entirety, then at An’an, who was at the side and laying on the animal skin. Sand suddenly entered her eyes. She blinked, and two trickles of tears rolled down.
The weight from earlier must have been Parker. Why did he suddenly let go? Was he attacked by the beastmen below?
That wasn’t right. If Parker had arrived at a place with beastmen, then Curtis must be there as well. Curtis wouldn’t leave Parker be.
Could it be that Parker was only buried by the sand and had suffocated to death?
Bai Qingqing’s tears fell even more ferociously.
“Don’t cry!” Alva watched as drops of tears landed on the sand and the words uncontrollably darted out of his mouth. “It’s such a waste of water!”
“Scram!” Bai Qingqing grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at him. The sand was scattered by the wind and blew into her face, causing more sand to enter her eyes.
Alva paused, said “sorry”, then fell silent.
Bai Qingqing couldn’t open her eyes. Tears kept flowing out.
She admitted that she had vented her fury a little on Alva. He wasn’t the one in the wrong. She was the one who told Parker to dig a hole. She only had herself to blame.
However, she was in no mood to apologize to Alva. She blinked and stood up.
“I can only summon Curtis when I’m in danger. Alva, bring me up to the sky.” Bai Qingqing sounded decisive.
Alva took a step back. “What do you want to do?”
“I want to jump down from the sky. That’s dangerous enough, right?”
