Chapter 278 - Mudslide (2/2)

Parker was about to speak when a female voice rang from within the crowd. “Bai Qingqing!”

Looking towards the source of that voice, Bai Qingqing was shocked by who she saw. “Eve?”

Eve was wrapped in a wet rug, her tanned skin drained of the color of blood; even her lips had darkened in color due to how freezing cold she felt. She smiled at Bai Qingqing and said, “The Camel Hump Valley was swept by a mudslide.”

Bai Qingqing nodded at her, then looked at the other beastmen and saw several familiar-looking faces. She asked Parker in a hushed voice, “Are they all from Camel Hump Valley?”

“Mm, other than Camel Hump Valley, the villages of the three other tribes were also destroyed by the mudslide. They’re with the other three kings right now,” Parker said. Seeing that Bai Qingqing’s countenance was a little off, he quickly hugged her and rea.s.sured her. “The terrain is higher here. We’re going to be fine.”

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing nodded. Sensing a pair of eyes on her suddenly, she twisted her head around.

A young beastman of elegant disposition stood quietly among the crowd. With all the din going on around him, his zen-ness made him stand out from the crowd.

“Harvey.” A group of beastmen squeezed their way towards him. “Eudora isn’t feeling well. Hurry up and take a look at her.”

Harvey cast a faint smile at Bai Qingqing before his expression turned serious as he meticulously checked Eudora’s health. He said gently, “She’s fine, she merely caught a cold.”

“I’m nearly freezing to death! Hurry up and bring me dry clothes!” Eudora shouted. The male hugging her held her even more tightly now. He was about to say something when Eudora slapped him across the face consecutively.

Although a female couldn’t slap so hard as to cause the male pain, the clear and crisp slaps were heard even from a great distance.

The females were kicking up a fuss all over the place, for they knew that this would enable them to get what they wanted faster. Now that they were safe, their wilful behaviors came back in full force. Surprisingly though, the baby beastmen were very quiet, only occasionally letting out some quivering sobs.

Bai Qingqing frowned and said to Winston, “What should we do? We don’t have so many clothes. And where should we let them stay?”
