Chapter 906: Parker Challenges Curtis (2)

When in the water, his speed advantage was completely gone.

Curtis even raised his tail slowly, sending him flying with a lash of his tail just as Parker was about to come swimming over.

Parker was like a piece of tile, hitting the surface of the water three to four times before sinking into the water.

“Hahahahaha...”

Bai Qingqing laughed so hard that she had to hold onto her stomach. That couldn’t do. She was going to laugh to death.

Curtis looked toward her impatiently and said, “Take your leopard in rein!”

Bai Qingqing knew that if things were left alone, Curtis was really going to get angry. She felt a little regretful and quickly said to Parker, “Parker, stop fooling around. Come over and get some rest.”

Roar! If you’re capable, then let’s fight on the land!

Parker let out a howl, unwilling to accept this result. He paddled his way and swam to Bai Qingqing’s side.

“Curtis, how old were you when you became a four-striped beastman?” Parker was unwilling to let this matter rest. He asked after turning back into his human form.

Bai Qingqing felt curious about it as well, but Curtis wasn’t like Parker, who was forced into it. He had slowly fought his way up without taking any shortcuts.

Curtis was only in his forties, but he was already a stripeless beast.

Other people couldn’t level up despite being a four-striped beastman for several decades. How outstanding was Curtis’s aptitude to be able to reach this height in his forties?

Curtis shook his head. “I don’t remember. I only remember that I was a three-striped beastman the year I came of age.”

Parker was forced into silence, completely convinced by Curtis.

He was only a two-striped beastman when he came of age. This was considered a rare aptitude in the City of Beastmen then. However, it was nothing when compared to Curtis.

The few of them had a good soak in the lake and only packed up to leave after Bai Qingqing started to feel uncomfortable from the sun.

They found a large boulder near the lake and Parker chiseled a hole into the back of the boulder that could fit four.

It could be the effect of the sunbathing that Bai Qingqing’s cold ailments had gotten a lot better.

It was just that it was too hot. The air felt like it was lit with fire, and it scorched their skin.

Bai Qingqing made a coat out of animal skin, not to protect her from the cold, but to keep out the heat.

Animal skin had a good insulating effect. Air currents could move between the body and animal skin, bringing a hint of coolness. It was a lot more comfortable than if she didn’t wear it.

“It’s rare that we came to the desert. Let’s just treat it as a vacation, which means, to get some fun. Let’s go and have some fun,” Bai Qingqing said excitedly. “I’m feeling a little hungry too. How about we try to look for food while having fun?”

“You only know to have fun, acting like a child.” Parker tapped on Bai Qingqing’s nose, feeling that she was still like when he just met her.

It was actually the same for him. He also wanted to go around and check things out.

He purposely acted as if he was giving in to Bai Qingqing, letting out a sigh and saying, “Alright, we’ll accompany you walking around.”

How could Bai Qingqing not know what he was thinking? She rolled her eyes in amusement.

“You guys should get up quickly as well. The luggage will be safe if left here, right?” Bai Qingqing took a look at Winston and Curtis, urging them.

Winston patted An’an, feeling regret.

Female children were too weak and wouldn’t be able to be out in the sun for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, he wasn’t planning to go.

Curtis suddenly said, “You guys go ahead. I want to get some rest. Leave the luggage and An’an to me.”

Bai Qingqing took a look at the piercing light rays outside, wearing a look of pity. “Then, have a good rest. We’ll go out to play again in the evening next time.”

Curtis smiled. “Alright.”

Winston was considered to have gotten away with the good end of things. He handed the sleeping An’an to Curtis and then stood up.

Curtis then said, “Don’t eat too much.”

Bai Qingqing instantly was dumbfounded. “I understand!”
