Chapter 668: Cleaning the Pots With Mud

The grease in the pots came off with a scrub using the mud.
If Bai Qingqing knew that Parker cleaned the pots this way behind her back, one couldn’t help but wonder if she would dare to eat the food prepared by him in the future.
After eating their fills, the females went to lie on their nests and wouldn’t budge an inch.
Harvey went to check on them one by one, and several of the females were informed that they were pregnant. This news added much joy to the monotonous cave.
There were nearly seventy females in the village. Other than the nine elderly females and females of tender ages, there were a total of sixty females at child-bearing age.
Among these sixty females, half of them had gone into heat since the heavy rainy season arrived. Four of these females were diagnosed to be pregnant, and the remaining twenty plus were eagerly anticipating their own pregnancy.
Joy filled the entire cave, yet there was one who showed a change in countenance.
Rosa’s heart rose to her throat as she peeked at the leopard beastman checking the health of those females.
Is this doctor really so brilliant? Will he be able to tell that my scent is unusual?
Rosa started panicking. Though her attitude was more restrained now, she wasn’t planning on telling anyone about her thoughts.
Even if she was going to be unlucky, she had to drag these females down with her. It was a pity that Bai Qingqing wasn’t here with them.
After washing the pots, Parker went down the mountain. He had just walked out of the area guarded by the beastmen when the hairs all over his body stood up.
This was an animal’s instinct alerting him to nearby dangers!
Harvey, who was following right behind him, also immediately halted in his footsteps and pricked up his ears.
“What’s the matter?” asked Harvey.
Parker gazed around and wrinkled his nose before his gaze fell upon a pile of rotten leaves.
He walked over step by step with light footsteps, but it was inevitable for his sturdy body to produce sounds as he stepped upon the rotten leaves laying over puddles of water.
That pile of tree leaves bizarrely moved. Parker’s cheeks trembled, and two tufts of golden whiskers spouted out from the corners of his mouth. He let out a low growl and dashed over with large strides.
The rotten leaves suddenly exploded and out jumped an enormous floating beast. It opened its large mouth that occupied one-third of its body length and charged at the leopard beastman.
Parker leaped into the air in the midst of running. When he landed, he smashed the stone pot heavily on the mouth of the floating beast.
Clack! As the floating beast’s mouth bones cracked, it let out an agonizing howl. When it opened its mouth again, the top half of its upper jaw could only lay limply on its lower jaw. It could now only open that section of its mouth linked to its neck.
The victor was clear. Harvey also came over to help, and the duo killed off the floating beast in no time.
However, several floating beasts had floated to the surface nearby, and they were all charging towards the stone cave on the mountain.
Roar!
Parker opened his mouth and let out a loud and clear howl. Very quickly, tiger roars and eagle screeches started ringing from the mountain. Amid the splashing sounds of rain, one could indistinctly hear the screams and sobbing of females.
“So many snuck in.” Parker rinsed the stone pots in the rainwater, then stacked them up and handed them to Harvey. “Help me bring it home. I’ll go over and help them out.”
“I can help too.” Harvey didn’t take the stone pots from him.
Parker cast a meaningful glance at his stripeless face and said, “You keeping yourself safe would be of great help to the females.”
Sighing, Harvey received the stone pots from him and headed down the mountain.
Parker curled his lips and, with a twist of his head, transformed into a leopard and ferociously charged at the mountain…
The eagle beastmen wasted no time in heading out of the village to inform Winston of the situation in the cave. Winston came back with a large batch of beastmen and took care of this batch of floating beasts. It was threatening but not dangerous.
The heavy downpour rinsed away the odor trail left by the floating beasts as they made their way into the village. Winston sent his men, and it took them quite a while to discover that the floating beasts had entered by drilling a hole in a secluded spot next to the city walls.
It went without saying that the hole must be filled immediately. Still, they wouldn’t know where the floating beasts would drill a hole at the next time.
