Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1071: Escaping Successfully (2)

The scorpion beastman looked at them quietly, neither saying anything nor moving at all. He was quiet like a plant.

Bai Qingqing got out from Parker’s embrace and walked up to the scorpion beastman. “Shuu, thank you.”

She reached out to remove the black crystal, but the scorpion beastman backed off a few steps, turning into a guy with a long and slender figure.

The rainy night was too dark, and Bai Qingqing couldn’t see the guy’s body clearly either. Therefore, she didn’t find it awkward.

“You guys can leave. There’s no need to care about me. Without my control, he’ll wake up at any moment.”

Shuu’s tone sounded nonchalant, but Bai Qingqing’s heart was seething with emotions. She glared at him and suppressed her voice, saying, “You don’t want your life anymore? He’ll kill you.”

“I’ll make use of his body and throw myself far away before he wakes up.” He smiled as cheerfully as he had done three years ago. His face somehow stacked together with that of the wolf beastman’s face with three animal stripes.

Bai Qingqing’s vision turned blurry. She didn’t know if it was from the tears or if the rainwater had gotten into her eyes, or that her body couldn’t hold up anymore.

“Let’s go.” Parker carried her and then nodded at Shuu before turning to run off.

Winston and Muir followed quickly after him.

Bai Qingqing turned and looked at the blurry figure under the moonlight, opening her mouth, but then her eyes closed and she lost consciousness.

Almost at the next instant after they ran off, the guy’s expression changed, tugging off the black crystal hung in front of his chest.

The black crystal’s energy didn’t even flash. It looked calm like an ordinary rock.

Mitchell pinched the black crystal tightly with two fingers, saying in a heavy voice, “You’re getting increasingly capable. How dare you release Bai Qingqing.”

“If it wasn’t with your agreement, she’d have fallen to her death,” Shuu spoke up peacefully. “Thinking about it now, if it wasn’t with your agreement, I probably wouldn’t be able to control your body either. You almost had me fooled as well.”

Mitchell smiled, loosening his grip on the black crystal. “I need someone as my scapegoat. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”

Shu said, “I’m prepared for it.”

Mitchell looked at the black crystal for a while, then his fingers tightened up and he suddenly tossed the black crystal toward the forest.

The black crystal drew a long arch in the air, and very long later, sank into an unknown corner.

Mitchell sighed and climbed back into the earth fissure as if he had resigned himself to fate.

Saint Zachary had just prepared the antidote, planning to take it immediately after he had taken over the snake beastman’s body. He took the chance to assess the snake beastman’s body and, seeing that he wasn’t able to wake him up, felt a little displeased.

It seemed that snake beastmen had to hibernate during the cold season? There were only four seasons in a year, with the cold season taking up one-fourth of the time. It was a waste to sleep through it.

At this moment, he heard Mitchell’s anxious voice.

“Father!”

Saint Zachary instantly felt that something was amiss and rapidly turned around. “Where’s Bai Qingqing?”

Mitchell wore an anxious expression and told him about the entire series of events in a panicked tone. He only changed the fact that he had tossed Shuu’s soul crystal away into crushing it.

Saint Zachary was overwhelmed with fury. Before Mitchell finished speaking, he dashed for the other side, sending Mitchell flying off with a hit while doing so.

Mitchell collided against the rocks, and another few traces appeared on his body that had just recovered. He got up helplessly. He was lucky that his father didn’t kill him.

Saint Zachary didn’t believe that he wouldn’t sense such a great commotion. Even if his son betrayed him, he didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to detect anything at all. But the fact was that he hadn’t noticed anything. It was as if this part of the space didn’t exist.

“Ape beastman!” Saint Zachary quickly thought of him and grabbed his son who had come after him. “Where is his soul crystal?”
