Beauty and the Beasts

“Don’t be scared. Be good and wait for me inside.”

Curtis’s voice was abnormally gentle, making her involuntarily believe him. She nodded gently. “En.”

Muir, in his beast form, walked over, standing next to Bai Qingqing’s side like a protector.

Curtis nodded at him before turning his head to look toward the scorpion beastman who had just come into the courtyard.

Saint Zachary felt envious when he saw this loving scene. He then felt even more determined to get Bai Qingqing’s body.

Maybe Chris would be gentle toward him if she stayed in such a gentle and warm-hearted body.

At this thought, a hint of gentleness flashed past in the scorpion beastman’s eyes amidst the rain. When he met the snake beastman’s hostile gaze, his eyes then instantly turned into endless killing intent.

This day had finally come. That was good. It was better than having him come in the cold season. Curtis thought this to himself, then pounced fiercely over.

Curtis raised his speed to an extreme. He understood that he was no match for Saint Zachary in a fight and thus could only compete with him in speed, catching him off-guard the faster the better.

His rapid attack took Saint Zachary by surprise and he uncontrollably dodged, being put at a slight disadvantage.

Curtis took the chance to advance, erupting a disposition that was stronger than in any battles he had been through in the past. He ignored the pair of big black pincers in front of him and bit out toward the scorpion beastman’s tail without care.

As long as he could get rid of this pincer, then no matter how strong the scorpion beastman was, there was nothing to be scared of.

Saint Zachary wasn’t a pushover and immediately understood his opponent’s intention. He smiled coldly in his heart and advanced instead of retreating, piercing toward the snake beastman at even greater speed. At the same time, his pincers also went toward the snake beastman’s stomach without any reservations.

With a loud boom, the snake and scorpion got entangled.

Bai Qingqing had no idea what the battle situation was like. She only knew that the blood splattered on the ground belonged to Curtis. Her heart wrenched up. Thankfully, Curtis had entangled the scorpion beastman.

She knew that the bind of a snake was very domineering. The fact that Curtis could do this was considered the first step to success.

Muir’s sharp eagle eyes watched the battle. If this took place yesterday, he’d go up and help, putting everything aside. It wouldn’t even matter even if his right wing became crippled.

But now…

Muir turned his head and glanced at the female next to him. He suddenly felt like taking a gamble. He wanted to live on. He wanted to become Qingqing’s mate. He wanted for her to remember him deeply in her heart.

The black and red snake bound the huge scorpion, successfully flipping him over. He tangled around him, tightening his grip. The scorpion beastman tried to bare his teeth and waved his limbs around. All of the sharp angles of his body were sharp weapons that could be used to pierce the snake.

As the snake was trying to kill him, he was also inflicting serious injuries on himself at the same time.

Bai Qingqing unconsciously bit her finger, secretly cheering for Curtis. She didn’t even notice when her finger started to bleed.

She had thought that if Curtis managed to persist on, he’d be able to win. But she didn’t expect the scorpion beastman to suddenly break free from his binding. He crawled out for quite a distance while dragging his long tail behind him.

His tail was then raised. Clearly, Curtis’s fierce attack hadn’t successfully bitten off his tail.

Bai Qingqing instantly felt that it was all over. She was stunned and her mouth opened slightly. A hint of blood dyed her white teeth and composure gradually returned to her face, emitting off a feeling of acceptance as if she had seen through life and death.

Curtis was covered in wounds, and he was even injected with scorpion poison. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to hang on for long and must end the battle fast.

Even if he failed, he mustn’t waste any time.

The scorpion beastman ran away for a distance and then headed back, raising his huge scorpion pincers and attacking Curtis.

Neither beastmen revealed a hint of weakness, but in comparison to the disposition of the previous round, Curtis had clearly become a notch weaker.
