Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 1002

Chapter 1002: Untitled

The arthropod footsteps got increasingly closer. Curtis hardened his heart, pressed one hand down on Bai Qingqing’s stomach, and drew himself out from her body.

He wasn’t going to allow any male to see Snow looking so alluring. Accepting Winston and Parker was the limit of his tolerance.

Although he did this slowly, the tug caused Bai Qingqing’s skin to be a little deformed. She gasped and shuddered non-stop.

Bai Qingqing’s body turned limp and she opened her mouth, looking like a gasping fish out of the water.

Curtis planted a kiss on Bai Qingqing’s lips, raising his hand, and covered her up with a piece of animal skin. “Stay here and don’t move. I’ll just be at the door and won’t go far.”

Bai Qingqing’s eyes immediately returned to clarity, and she grabbed Curtis’s hand, saying pitifully, “Don’t lie to me.”

If insects flew in after Curtis left the room, she’d go crazy from fear before the insects even bit her.

Curtis looked at how scared she was. After giving it some thought, he didn’t leave her behind. He put on a dress onto her, carried An’an over, and tucked her under the blankets. He only left after seeing that the mother and daughter were completely wrapped up.

The scorpion beastmen had really come.

Curtis looked at the bundle in his arms and looked toward the forest. He planned on sneaking to the tree hole area through the forest.

They were the strongest, and Saint Zachary naturally knew that they enjoyed the greatest statuses. They’d definitely be the ones living in the best residence in the village, so they mustn’t stay here.

Before he could put his plan into action, Muir ran over. He threw a glance at the blanket in Curtis’s arms and understood.

“Hide Qingqing at the place I’m staying at.” Muir changed from his silent self, speaking with a firm tone.

Curtis threw him a sideward glance, hesitating for a short moment, then handed Bai Qingqing to him.

Muir reached out of reflex and carried the not-so-heavy bundle. His body instantly trembled, and his face was that of astonishment.

“Send Snow to the waterhole. Someone will receive her. Don’t let the scorpion beastmen notice you,” Curtis said, then turned to slither into the stone castle.

Bai Qingqing felt as if her body was handed out and felt anxious. Only at the thought of how she was being carried by Muir, whom she knew, did she feel a little more at ease.

Muir was stunned for a few seconds. When he returned to his senses, he immediately turned. Curtis also turned to move toward the stone castle, guarding over the place and waiting for Saint Zachary to fight his way here.

Muir’s arms turned into huge wings, protecting the bundle completely under his wings. He then ran smoothly into the tree hole area.

Should he hide them in the tree or go to the waterhole as Curtis arranged?

Muir threw a glance at the waterhole. There weren’t any strong characters nearby. Would someone really receive them?

Bai Qingqing felt the body that was carrying her pause. She said with a muffled voice under the blankets, “Go to the waterhole.”

Muir’s arms stiffened again. He then ran toward the waterhole without giving it any thought.

The air was filled with black armored grasshoppers. Their bright red wings covered the surface of the densely-packed black dots to be covered in a layer of blood, giving off a killing aura.

Basically, every family only had a male left behind to protect the females and the children. All the other males had gone out to hunt.
