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

The eagle beastmen had expected something like this would happen. The snake beastman had always been swift; the time they spent das.h.i.+ng downwards was sufficient time for the snake beastman to prepare.

Hence, even though they didn’t get the upper-hand in the first round, the eagle beastmen didn’t retreat. Instead, they continued pouncing at the snake beastman without any regard for their lives.

If their sacrifice could exchange for their spouses’ safety, why should they fear death?

If they died here in a bid to protect their females, their spouses would definitely remember them forever.

This would be enough.

Curtis’s snake tail was pecked at by the eagle beastmen several times. Even though his scales were tough, he suffered some injuries. Curtis only s.h.i.+elded his vital part and disregarded the attacks on his body as he claimed the lives of the eagle beastmen as though he couldn’t feel anything.

Eagle beastmen continued dying, and the air was filled with the stench of blood and death.

Under the mountain, Muir—who had transformed into a human—was hugging a stone vat of 2m diameter, which contained dark green oil inside. He was pouring the contents on the ground, and as the oil fell upon the half-green-half-yellowish gra.s.sland, bloodstains would appear from time to time.

The entire mountain was being surrounded by oil, except for this side where the wind was blowing in this direction.

Muir revealed a smile, yet there was an incredibly crazed look in his eyes. Strangely, fire appeared in his eyes—that was the scene of the upas tree being burned in the ape king’s yard.

Qingqing is truly intelligent. You would never have guessed that I would use the method you came up with to deal with Curtis, huh?

Don’t blame me, I was forced. With Curtis around, I will never be able to have you!

…

There was a botanical fragrance in the breeze blowing in the forest.

Some eagle beastmen took the chance to fly into the cave. Their ultimate goal was, after all, Bai Qingqing.

Curtis was prepared to give chase. There were more than ten eagle beastmen that had yet to be dealt with, so now was not the time for them to find out that Snow wasn’t here.

Flicking out his tongue, Curtis halted and gazed in the direction of the wind.

“Screech—”

An eagle beastman seized the opportunity to peck at the back of Curtis’s head.
