Bai Qingqing looked at the water curtain quietly for a while, but did not see Curtis coming back. She walked quickly to the side.
When is it better to escape at this time?
Bai Qingqing tries the strength of the waterfall with her hand. When she reaches the waterfall, she almost got beaten down.
She took a few steps back, gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and rushed out.
“Poof —”
There’s a loud splash in the lakewater. After a while, a head suddenly came out.
Bai Qingqing spits out a mouthful of clear water and gasps for breath.
She couldn’t swim to the surface immediately after she dives in. It was only after she jumped that she noticed that the stone cave was high above the lake water. The rapids of the waterfall made her sink to the bottom, and she struggled to swim up. Fortunately, she is good at holding her breath. Otherwise, she would have drowned.
Bai Qingqing didn’t dare to stop for a moment. She swam up to the bank breathlessly, got up and ran.
She couldn’t care about the wild animals and poisonous insects in the jungle. What can be worse than falling into the hands of a feral beast? She’s lucky to get an opportunity to escape. She would not regret it if she dies.
When they left the tribe that morning, the sun was at the east, and they moved with their backs to the sun. It’s dusk now, the sun should be on the west, so she should still go with her back against the sun.
As soon as she determined the direction, Bai Qingqing rushes away in a hurry.
When Curtis brought an adult antelope back to the lake, without entering the cave, he realized that Snow was gone.
The snake tail swirled tightly, and the dead antelope spit out blood with viscera in its mouth, followed by a loud bang, the body crushed, and jets of blood sprayed everywhere.
“Hiss~~ ” Curtis spits out his fork tongue, catching the smell of the female.
The huge snake swerved over the green grass towards a trail of sweet female scent, and quickly went after it.
Bai Qingqing runs barefoot on the ground full of dead branches and rotten leaves. The sharp objects on the ground pierced the soles of her feet, leaving a bloody trail every step.
She was vexed. In order not to be alienated in the tribe, she didn’t even wear her shoes. If only she could wear them now…
There was a rustling sound behind her. Bai Qingqing looked back immediately and saw the snake head coming out of the shaking grass.
Her pupils dilated, and time seemed to slow down, which made her watch the black and red snake getting closer and closer to her, but her body was too stiff to move.
The flow of time won’t slow down for half a minute of the other one’s senses. In the next moment, Bai Qingqing will be swept off the ground by the snake tail.
Curtis turned his upper body into human and wrapped Bai Qingqing in front of him. His lips were as red as rouge, making a cold voice: “You can’t escape from me.”
Bai Qingqing’s face became pale like she was drained of blood, looking at Curtis’s vacant eyes with desperation.
Perhaps death is her only freedom.
There was a sweet smell of blood in the air. Curtis spat out a fork tongue. He suddenly panicked and immediately held Bai Qingqing in his arms.
“Are you hurt?” Curtis’s voice was very tense, as if the cold-blooded man was not him.
Bai Qingqing was stunned by Curtis’s sudden change. She didn’t come to her senses until Curtis lifted her and checked her wound. She quickly covered herself with her animal fur skirt.
“Hiss~~” Curtis held her white feet, touched them with his tongue, and took away a trace of blood. His eyes, like glass, were getting more and more pained.
He was severely distressed that he decided to take her with him to hunt next time, so Snow won’t be hurt by escaping.
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Bai Qingqing shrunk her feet and made a fuss. Didn’t he look like he was going to run wild just now? Isn’t she just hurt a little?
It seems that the male’s care for the female is really everywhere, even feral beasts were no exception.

T/N: I decided to change the word strays to ferals to make it similar to the manga.
