The beastmen had excellent healing powers. That very afternoon, Muir was able to fly at a low altitude with Bai Qingqing on his back.
Even when it came night time, Muir didn't dare to stop. He flew nimbly in the forest and tried his best not to touch anything, lest they leave behind their scents, which could lead the beastmen to find them.
Late into the night, only when Muir felt that the distance was sufficiently far away did he cautiously land next to a puddle of water.
Screech— Muir let out a soft screech that resembled the sound an ordinary bird might make.
No one responded to him.
Muir spread out his wings and tilted his body for Bai Qingqing to slide down.
Bai Qingqing, who slept very lightly, was awoken the instant they landed on the ground.
As she got up and looked around, she found herself looking into a pair of round eyes, making her so startled she quickly retreated backward.
