However, this thought only fleeted through her mind momentarily before she dismissed it.
This person was entirely different from Muir. When he didn’t move, he had the state of nothingness akin to that of a shadow. On the other hand, once he exploded, he was like a madman in battle, making her feel a darkness for some reason.
Muir was hidden fifty meters away from the grotto. If it were any other beastman, they would long have been discovered. But having spent prolonged periods concealing himself, he was so well-hidden that even Curtis didn’t detect his presence. This was why he could rescue Bai Qingqing at the first instant.
His speed was inferior to Curtis’s, and he had only struck while Curtis wasn’t paying attention. After running a few steps, he could hear Curtis launching an attack at him.
Muir took the chance to shove Bai Qingqing forward before he turned around to battle with him.
“Ah!” Bai Qingqing screamed.
Caught off-guard, she fell face-down onto the ground and found herself tasting a mouthful of sand.
The sounds of fighting were just a short distance behind, like a sharp blade that could cut into her back at any moment.
Not daring to get up, as she spat out the sand in her mouth, she crawled forward, and only after crawling for a good while did she dare to turn her head to look.
Parker and Winston rushed over one after the other. Though An’an was still crying, it wasn’t as hysterical as in the past. Having held it in for this long and only crying now, it appeared that the venom in her body was more or less cleared.
Bai Qingqing planted a kiss on An’an’s tear-soaked face. She gazed ahead at the fight and said in an astounded tone, “I didn’t know that male beastman was so formidable. To think he can fight Curtis in his human form. Seems like he’s also a stripeless beast.”
With this, her suspicion about this man being Muir vanished entirely. Though, she couldn’t gauge if what she felt was relief or disappointment.
