Chapter 364: - A Trap Within a Trap (1/2)

[Muir’s so severely injured, he surely won’t be able to rescue Bai Qingqing later. We just have to kill her.]

[That’s right.]

After a speedy discussion, the eagle beastmen went back together.

Muir had no idea when the enemies left. All of a sudden, he blacked out and fell through the skies for a while, only regaining consciousness right before landing on the ground. He flapped his wings haphazardly as he fell, stirring up dust as he landed. Only when he raised his head did he realize that there weren’t any eagle beastmen around.

With scarcely any breath left, Muir panted heavily as he laid face-down on the ground for a while, before he got up in a stumbling manner. He then flapped his wings and flew back.

…

In a bush forest.

Curtis slithered out of the cave. The sufficient rest he had last night made him feel energetic today. He was fearless in the face of more than ten eight eagle beastmen in front of him.

With the daylight s.h.i.+ning into his eyes, Curtis’s pupils had shrunk into a blood-red slit so thin they nearly couldn’t be seen; only pitch darkness whose depths couldn’t be seen. (It pretty much looked like the whites of a human’s eyeb.a.l.l.s.)

“Ssss—” Curtis flicked out his tongue.

Muir did manage to convince these eagle beastmen to come together. Finally, he could settle them once and for all.

[Muir wasn’t lying, snake beastmen indeed have photophobia.]

Over on this side, the eagle beastmen were secretly rejoicing.

The eagle beastmen launched the attack first, first flying up before das.h.i.+ng downwards, their eyes locked on the snake beastman’s body.

Curtis didn’t make any move, merely arching his snake lips slightly to reveal a sneer.

Just as the eagle beastmen flew within ten meters of him, Curtis abruptly moved. With a sweep of his tail, more than ten eagle beastmen were sent flying out. Following which, he straightened his snake body and his mouth went straight for the eagle beastman leading the attack.

“Gah!”

With a pitiful cry, the eagle beastman’s life ended intensely.

The difference in their levels wasn’t something that could be erased by having more of them around.
