The sand dunes were steep and hard to ascend. One would slide down if they weren’t careful.

  Parker slipped and fell back a few steps. He was so scared that he frantically ran forward and managed to steady his body somehow.

  He turned back and saw that Curtis was also held back by the slopes. His body was slippery and it was easier for him to slide down. When he did, he would slide all the way to the bottom.

  “Howl howl howl howl howl~” Parker laughed loudly, gloating.

  “Ssss~” Curtis flicked out his tongue dangerously and pounced toward the front fiercely.

  Parker’s expression turned serious and he turned his head, continuing to run.

  Curtis flew onto midway of the slope, then made use of the excess energy to dart forward further, reducing the distance between himself and the leopard quickly.

  As the excess energy weakened, the snake on the slope rapidly slowed down and gradually came to a stop. He waved his tail and slid down helplessly.

  Parker could tell that Curtis had slid down again from the sound he heard. He heaved in relief but didn’t expect that the sand under his feet gave way. Not only did he slide down, a huge stretch of the sand above him almost moved. No matter how much Parker struggled, he couldn’t stabilize his body.

  Ssss~

  Curtis opened his mouth and his snow-white fangs reflected sharp white light under the sunlight, waiting for the leopard to come into his mouth.

  Parker’s four limbs had sunken into the sand, but he was unable to stabilize his body. He could only draw a few faint marks on the ground.

  Just as the leopard was about to slide into the snake’s mouth, the wind and sand raged and a huge green figure passed by from the top, bringing the leopard with him and flying into the air.

  Curtis instantly erupted, jumping up to bite out at the leopard in midair.

  Parker hadn’t let down his guard. His arm that the peacock’s claws were grabbing onto arched upward and his entire body almost flew up. Only the spot where he was being held by the peacock was closest to the ground.

  The snake’s mouth snapped shut under the peacock’s claws, plunging toward the ground together with his body. The leopard in the air flew even higher, and it was impossible to attack him anymore.

  Curtis threw a gloomy glance at them and then rushed back.

  Winston and Bai Qingqing returned to the cave. Winston stood on top of the rocks and kept on turning his body to stare out in all directions.

  Bai Qingqing also constantly paid attention to the spousal mark on her chest. As time ticked on, her worry grew increasingly intense.

  It should be hard for Parker to persist by now.

  Bai Qingqing ran out from the cave and said to the white tiger on the rock, “Winston, bring me up onto the tree and hide. I’ll use my spousal mark to summon Curtis back. Parker will be safe then.”


  Winston jumped down from the rock and brought Bai Qingqing to a tree growing at a diagonal angle above the lake. This way, even if the plan failed, Bai Qingqing wouldn’t fall to her death.

  Bai Qingqing was planning to wait for Winston to hide before she jumped off the tree, but he was unwilling to leave. He only hid behind the rock.

  Bai Qingqing urged anxiously, “Hide somewhere further. He’ll smell your scent here.”


  “I’m worried about you.” Winston’s voice rang out from behind the rock, sounding deep and emitting a firm disposition.

  What if wild beasts attacked Qingqing after he left? What if the scorpion tribe came to catch her again? They were still within the scorpion tribe’s territory.

  Bai Qingqing was so anxious that she kept on shaking the tree, not thinking before she spoke, “You’re really stupid. I’m keeping watch. If there’s any danger, I’ll jump down immediately.”


  However, Winston was still scared that Curtis might not be able to come. After all, he hadn’t seen such an amazing ability before.

  “If I don’t jump now, Parker might be in danger! Leave quickly!” Bai Qingqing was almost bellowing as she said this.
