  With his scorpion’s tail raised, Mitchell’s rhythmic footsteps sounded as he aggressively launched an attack at Parker, who was filling the earth fissure with water.

  Parker placed the water pipe into the earth fissure, then speedily dodged and engaged in a fight with the scorpion beastman.

  Having just leveled up to a four-striped beastman, Parker’s capabilities naturally couldn’t rival Mitchell, who had gotten to this level way earlier. He could only rely on his speed and barely managed to cope with him.

  Muir glanced at the earth fissure and thought to himself: .

  If it was Saint Zachary who came out this time, he could sneak in and take the opportunity to steal Bai Qingqing away.

  Mitchell and Parker were locked in a tight battle when, suddenly, the sound of wind breaking rang from behind. With his tail raised high, Mitchell was completely unguarded from the back. Alarm bells instantly went off in his heart.

  Mitchell, who had just braved the risk of being attacked by the leopard beastman, was sent flying by the immense force of an eagle’s beak. With a crack on the shell of his waist, he was unable to move.

  If it weren’t for the fact that Muir was still unable to transform, had he pounded him with his fist, Mitchell could very well have died there and then.

  Parker first felt incredulous seeing that scorpion beastman turn his tail and pincers in another direction. The delighted Parker was just about to launch an attack, but before he could make his move, the scorpion beastman flew out of his attacking range.

  Seeing the wet and dripping eagle beastman standing before him, Parker suddenly understood what was going on, and he turned to face the scorpion beastman and launched into an attacking stance once more.

  In his eagle form, Muir had also spread out his perfectly fine left wing and launched into an attacking stance.

  Mitchell crawled to his feet in a stumbling manner, his pair of eyes in front staring at them warily, while the other six eyes on his sides rolling about nimbly.

  Suddenly, the scorpion beastman moved his body, but instead of shifting in Parker and Muir’s direction, he turned 90 degrees and dashed straight for the earth fissure.

  He was trying to flee!

  Parker immediately pounced over, but still, he was one step too late and could only watch as the scorpion beastman fell into the entrance of the earth fissure without any regard for his life.

  Parker let out a few indignant whimpers. Hearing the movement of the eagle claws in his direction, he immediately turned his head in alert.

  Towards Muir, Parker naturally couldn’t completely trust him.

  Muir pushed at the water pipe with his beak, then cast a glance at him.

  “Are you going to make me continue watching?” Parker asked after transforming into a human.

  Muir nodded, then ran to the other side and stood quietly. It was unclear what he was trying to do.

  Thankfully, Parker was quick-witted and actually understood Muir’s intention. He asked, “You’re asking me to continue filling it with water, to attract Saint Zachary’s attention, while you wait for an opportunity to act on another side?”


  Muir looked up at him, and his wet eagle’s head revealed a relieved expression as he nodded in affirmation.

  “Okay,” Parker replied without hesitation, then paid no him more heed, only focusing on staring warily into the earth fissure, preparing to dodge any impending dangers.

  The water level in the earth fissure had gone past a human’s calves. Bai Qingqing could feel her body losing sensation from being soaked in the water, and she had wanted to stand on a higher rock, but could only give up on the idea as she couldn’t see a thing.

  Hearing something fall, Bai Qingqing turned her face in that direction and asked worriedly, “Who fell?”


  Saint Zachary didn’t reply as he stood in front of her and looked outside.

  Hearing the splashing of water, and the sound of several limbs stirring the water, the duo had their answer.

  “Mitchell?” Bai Qingqing asked worriedly. Though, her heart was put to ease at the realization that it wasn’t Parker or Winston.

  “How did you land in such a state?” Saint Zachary creased his brows fiercely.

  With scarcely any breath left, Mitchell crawled back and updated his father on the situation up there in their beastman language.
