“Can this… really work?”
Bai Qingqing was wrapped up in animal skin while she held onto An’an. She probed her head out and said worriedly, “What if we can’t get back out after going down?”
They had spent half a day and found a new quicksand river that would also allow them to enter Flame City. Therefore, Curtis decided to bring Bai Qingqing down directly. She’d be put through less hardship then.
“Since we’re already here, why should we suffer outside?” Curtis tidied up the animal skin and pressed Bai Qingqing’s head inside. “Be good and stay inside. We’ll be here to take on everything outside.”
“En.” Bai Qingqing held onto An’an and squatted down.
Parker tied the remaining bit of their luggage onto the rope and then looked up at Alva, tossing him a jar of water.
“Hey, drink up quickly. After you’re done, I’ll take everything with me.”
Alva didn’t mind. He opened up the wooden cork and took a few careful sips before returning it to him.
Given his speed, he’d be able to fly back in at most a day. He wouldn’t die of thirst.
“Take care!” Alva wiped his mouth, turned into his beast form, and flew off.
Parker tied everything onto the rope, then himself and Bai Qingqing as well. He didn’t pay Curtis any heed.
Curtis threw a glance at them, hugged Bai Qingqing with one arm, then waved his tail and dragged Parker, who was caught off-guard, along together.
Roar!
Parker was given a fright and kicked his legs to turn over. However, before he steadied himself, he was brought into the quicksand.
It was very dark in the animal skin. After entering the quicksand, it clearly became even darker without any hint of light rays. The scorching heat also disappeared suddenly, and hints of coolness seeped in from the gaps of the animal skin.
Bai Qingqing felt that her body was being pressed from all directions. She put her limbs around An’an as an additional layer. After quite a while, her body felt relaxed.
