Chapter 629 - Escaping Hell (1) (2/2)

It was only when nighttime fell and the temperatures lowered that Alva transformed into a peacock once more and flew in the night with Molly riding on his back.

A distance that a beastman would take ten days to travel on foot, Alva only took three days through flying. Sensing the breathing of the female getting increasingly weaker, Alva made it back to the village before the skies turned bright.

He even shocked himself with this speed.

The sun was just starting to rise, and sunlight was scattered throughout the forest, dispelling the gloomy fog. The screeching of various birds and insects made the forest buzz with life.

A tiger was seated at the city entrance, not budging an inch, as though he was a stone statue, tiny water droplets densely covering his fur. Nobody knew for how long he had been sitting there.

Gah Gah— The screeching of a peacock rang from far away.

The tiger beastman’s eyes, which were dull before this, revealed a different countenance a moment later. His head jerked up.

Only at the second screeching of the peacock did Edgar pumped up with energy. Roaring, he leaped down from the city wall and maniacally sprinted in the direction of that sound.

Roar! Roar!

Upon hearing the sound, Alva turned around and flew into the forest, where he bumped into the tiger beastman.

“Molly!” Edgar transformed into a human mid-sprint, then ran a few more steps in his human form on his four limbs, before getting to his feet.

Alva spread out his wings and let the female slide down from his back.

Having gotten a proper look at the female, panic overwhelmed the burly tiger’s face. He didn’t even dare touch her.

After halting his hand in the air for a good while, he touched her testingly, before hugging her tightly, a choked sound escaping his throat.

Alva transformed into a human and licked his dry lips, then said, “Hurry up and feed her with some water. It’s been a day since I found her, and she hasn’t had a single drop of water. She probably hasn’t drunk much water these past few days.”

A drop of clear water landed on the female’s lips which were filled with bloody scabs. Edgar raised a hand and wiped away his tears, then carried her and ran to the nearest river.

…

Only when the village erupted with the joyful cheers of the females did Bai Qingqing find out Molly had been rescued.

She was drinking bird’s soup in the tree hole at the time. Upon learning that Molly was unconscious, she immediately asked Parker to pack up some of that bird’s soup for her. She quickly finished drinking her soup, then went down the tree to bring it over to Molly.
