Chapter 855 - Quicksand River (2) (1/2)

They were like many ants crawling up his skin, onto his nose, eyes, eyelashes…

Curtis looked at the sand behind him, once again turned into his full beast form, placing his weight onto a further spot before slowly and steadily dragging out his tail.

By this time, Alva had only one arm and half his lower thigh left above the ground.

Curtis straightened his tail and pushed it into the sand, curling him up and slowly pulling out.

Pffft!

The moment Alva came out, he spat out sand from his nose and mouth, quickly backing off. When he sensed the soft sand under his feet, he immediately jumped up like an alarmed bird, turning into his beast mode and flying up.

Gah gah gah gah!

A peacock in the sky cried out like a lunatic, causing the group of beastmen in the distance to cast strange looks at him.

“Is Alva alright?” Bai Qingqing leaned in Parker’s warm embrace and asked, laughing.

The tiger beastmen also laughed. Parker was the only one unmoved.

He extended his neck and looked in Alva’s direction. As he had the responsibility to protect his mate and a child, he only wanted to know if there was any danger ahead.

Alva flew crazily in the air for a while before coming to take a rest.

Parker drew his gaze back and said, “It shouldn’t be anything serious. I’ll ask him after he comes back later.”

“Mm.”

Alva also hesitated for very long before he landed on the sand fearfully once again. He carefully stomped on the ground a few times before turning into his human form. However, he didn’t dare to move a single step.

“When I came to the desert for the first time, I saw a lot of moving sand. I was busy rushing on my way and didn’t have the time to check them out. I didn’t expect them to be so scary.”

As Alva said this, he bent over to look toward the quicksand river, saying with certainty, “There must be something inside pulling me! Otherwise, how is it that I’m unable to crawl back up?”

“It’s inertia,” Curtis replied calmly. “The sand moves and forms a natural force. It’s that force that pulled you down.”
