Chapter 933 - Confrontation (1) (2/2)

…

In the most spacious hall in the underground palace, Curtis, Winston, and Parker confronted Saint Zachary.

Saint Zachary had come here following Curtis’s sounds. Seeing that Curtis was here, there was no need for him to worry about Bai Qingqing being snatched away. When he saw that Bai Qingqing’s other two mates were here as well, he felt completely assured.

He had never expected that Bai Qingqing would have a wild suitor who hadn’t earned a place by her side yet. This person often challenged him and knew his way around the passages like the back of his hand.

He recognized Chris’s soul crystal at one glance. Seeing that it was threaded on animal skin, his expression cracked and he walked toward them.

“Hand the soul crystal to me!”

Winston and Parker couldn’t withstand the pressure from someone stronger than them and backed off a few steps out of reflex. Curtis was the only one who firmly stood his ground, standing before the other two beastmen.

“To hell with that! Give Qingqing to us first!” Parker bared his fangs and bellowed.

Winston didn’t know if Muir had succeeded in his operation and wanted to drag out the time. Therefore, he clenched the necklace even tighter, clearly not planning to hand it over easily either.

Saint Zachary was still thinking of keeping Bai Qingqing as a backup plan, thus there was no way that he’d release her easily. Seeing that they weren’t going to hand over the soul crystal, he planned on snatching it by force.

Ssss~

Curtis let out a warning sound. When Saint Zachary entered his attacking perimeter, he instantly turned into his beast form and propped his body up to about seven to eight meters in height, then dashed down to bite him.

Curtis’s speed was extraordinarily fast, but Saint Zachary wasn’t anxious at all. Just as the snake’s mouth was about to bite his back, he turned into a huge scorpion with an arching poisonous spike.

The instant they clashed, time seemed to slow down countless times over. The poisonous spike on the scorpion tail gleamed with a cold light, attacking straight for the snake’s weakest spot[1].

[1] There is a Chinese idiom that translates to hitting a snake seven inches below its head, where its heart is located and it is at its weakest. It has the meaning of striking a problem at its core.
