Chapter 370 - Curtis Didn’t Die (2/2)

He’s so severely injured, yet he’s flying here and there. How worrying.

“I’ll let Muir move in here. Can you not go?” Alva, who had been standing at the door all along, suddenly spoke.

Bai Qingqing glanced at him, then said resolutely, “I will definitely leave.”

Alva fell silent.

…

Muir flew back to the bush forest. This mountain that used to be lush had now transformed into a charred hell with unbearably high temperatures. Faint smoke could even be seen rising from some spots. Not a single living thing could be seen from afar.

Muir crawled up the mountain in a stumbling manner as he went straight for the cave. He scrutinized the interior of the cave, even the ground.

Nope, can’t find any trace of Curtis.

He then went to search in places where Curtis could possibly go to, yet it was fruitless.

Muir transformed into a human and spread open his arms, howling at his surroundings manically, “Curtis! I’m here! Come and kill me!”

Only the rustling of the wind and withered wood responded to his howls.

“I don’t care if you’re dead or not!” Muir clenched his fists tightly and cracked his knuckles, tensing his facial muscles into a grotesque expression. “I must get Bai Qingqing!”

A tree leaf that managed to escape the fate of being burned to ashes drifted to the ground under the vibration of Muir’s voice and landed on a black rock.

A gust of hot wind blew by, and the shriveled tree leaf floated away once more, scraping away a smudge of the rock’s scorched black surface. If one were to scrutinize it, he would see that that black rock revealed a faint yellow color that reminded one of unpolished jade.

Muir didn’t notice this “rock.” With one final gaze at his surroundings, he laid a hand over his wound before limping around the mountain, as he continued his search for that giant snake.

Only when it was night time did Muir return to find Bai Qingqing, despite him telling her he would be back shortly during the day.

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief and supported him as he sat down on a piece of animal skin. “You’re finally back. If you were still not back, they were going to look for you.”
