Followed by adult eagle beastmen?
Muir's heart sank. He instantly dove downwards. He couldn't let that group of eagle beastmen find him, else Qingqing's whereabouts would be exposed.
[Hey, you're going to scare away all the prey!] A young eagle shrunk in his stomach that had gone flat due to hunger and was prepared to fly elsewhere to capture prey when he halted upon hearing his brother's words.
[Let's go to where the adult eagles are. Perhaps they have also brought a female back.]
[Yeah, let's go and look at the females!]
Several young eagles flapped their little wings and found the adult eagle beastmen following Curtis. Their father was among them.
[It's you?]
The young eagles' father flew out of the crowd and hovered before the young eagles.
The young eagles fought to speak.
[Dad, I hadn't expected to see you before coming of age. We're here to see the females. A grown eagle beastman brought back a female yesterday.]
