Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 895

Chapter 895: Lion Head Found His Way Here

After Curtis and Winston met the scorpion king, they went their separate ways.

Winston couldn’t wait to see Bai Qingqing and entered the grave pit one step earlier.

Curtis used his sharp sense of smell and looked for a stretch of an oasis near Flame City.

There were drought-tolerance animals in the oasis’s clear and shallow lake.

Curtis was in no hurry. He checked out the oasis, gathered a bundle of firewood, then hunted and brought the living prey back to Flame City.

The next day, Parker’s injuries had mostly recovered.

Only Bai Qingqing and himself were in the cave, and they spent their days together intimately. Parker felt extremely satisfied.

Suddenly, Parker heard a series of footsteps. He immediately recognized them as Lion Head’s.

He was about to go out when Bai Qingqing pulled him back.

“It must be the scorpion king out to deceive you again,” said Bai Qingqing with a lowered voice.

Parker walked over to the passageway, perked his ears up, and listened for a while. He then returned to her side and said, “Even if that’s the case, there’s no helping it. He’s already coming over.”

Bai Qingqing felt helpless. She decided that she’d definitely help him to give the scorpion king a thrashing after he came.

If she couldn’t win against him, she could smash him with a rock. He was to blame that Parker had gotten injured yesterday.

He might get injured today as well.

However, even after Parker ran off, the set of footsteps still gradually got close.

Bai Qingqing tidied the luggage that had a few hints of light exposed, then completely sank into the darkness. She held her breath and looked at the pitch-black darkness in front of her.

A pair of eyes glowing in green light suddenly appeared in front of Bai Qingqing’s vision. He then heard a clear gasp.

Bai Qingqing’s heart sank. Lion Head had come in!

Roar!

Parker chased after Lion Head and came to the mine shaft as well, roaring fiercely at him.

The scorpion king didn’t come today. It was just that Lion Head had felt suspicious and wanted to come and check things out.

That leopard went out in the same manner he did yesterday. This made him even more certain that the female was hiding here.

Therefore, Lion Head ignored the leopard beastman and increased his speed as he dashed into the mine shaft.

Even though Lion Head knew a female was here, his body still stiffened up after he saw the female’s face clearly.

The moment Parker caught up, he pounced onto Lion Head. Lion Head was still caught in the astonishment of the female’s beauty and only returned to his senses after he was pounced on.

The lion’s body swung fiercely, and the great force swung the leopard’s weight to the side.

Parker had been planning to bite the back of Lion Head’s neck but ended up only biting his shoulder.

After biting onto his opponent, Parker wasn’t planning to let go. He swung his head vigorously.

Lion Head let out an agonizing cry as he jumped around, tossing out streams and streams of hot blood.

Bai Qingqing’s face was splattered with blood, and she started trembling as well.

The scorching blood hit her face. It felt warm and sticky.

Bai Qingqing wiped her face messily, held An’an, then anxiously backed off to the deepest part of the hole.

Lion Head kept on jumping around, and Parker was unable to perform any other attacks. After biting off the chunk of flesh, he lost his hold over Lion Head.

Lion Head raised his front limbs. He finally got rid of the leopard on his back and started to retaliate.

Parker quickly got back up to his feet, darting around in the mine shaft, chased by Lion Head. His battle against Lion Head was a lot more dangerous than Bai Qingqing imagined.

She knew that her existence would make it hard for Parker to break free. She immediately hid An’an in her arms and headed out, keeping close to the walls.

Lion Head immediately noticed her actions. He let out an enraged roar and turned to pounce on her.

“Ah!”

Bai Qingqing closed her eyes.

The pain she imagined didn’t come. Bai Qingqing opened her eyes, feeling horrified.

The fleeing Parker had turned back and held Lion Head back again.
