Chapter 925: Non-Decaying Corpse

Curtis’s tail slapped down heavily onto the ground, creating such a great tremor that the sand and rocks came falling down upon their head. He didn’t say much but gave his silent consent to Winston’s proposal.

Winston turned into his beast form and rapidly ran off.

Curtis and Parker planned on continuing their search in the passageway, but the path before them had been blocked. It didn’t require much thinking for them to know that this was the work of scorpion beastmen.

The desert was really the scorpion beastmen’s territory.

On Bai Qingqing’s side, Mitchell ignored the poisonous snakes all over the ground and headed for the ice house.

His animal form was covered in shell, but when he changed into his human form, his skin was even tougher. Even if he was bitten, the one to suffer would be the snakes’ fangs.

The moment they entered the ice house, Bai Qingqing felt as if she had entered the coldest season, and cold wind gushed into her bones from all directions.

She quickly used the animal skin to wrap An’an even tighter, then looked up.

Heh, seriously. To think that the ice house was really made from ice crystals. All the rocks here emitted a natural phosphorescence. Their surfaces were covered in a thick layer of ice, but different rocks had different colors. It was a natural splendor.

However, when Bai Qingqing saw a corpse laying on the stone bed in the center of the ice house, she lost all mood of admiring the place. This place felt even colder to her.

The reason she was certain it was a corpse was that she was a female, yet she was only wearing a cooling animal skin skirt and tube top. Even if she was alive, she’d be frozen to death from just laying down for a while.

The even more mysterious thing was the blue pearl right on top of the corpse. No rope was tied to it on top, nor was there any point of support at the bottom. It was simply suspended in the air.

For some reason, Bai Qingqing felt that the coldest thing in the room was that pearl.

“That couldn’t be Chris, right?” Bai Qingqing asked.

Mitchell glared at her harshly. He hadn’t fallen in love with a female before and had never thought of the way his father would use to regain his mate. He only felt angry because the female he was about to get his hands on was about to fly away.

“You’ve really seen my mother’s soul crystal? Can’t you talk less?” The more Mitchell thought about it, the angrier he felt. He tossed Bai Qingqing on a hard piece of ice to vent his fury.

Thankfully, Bai Qingqing was wrapped up in animal skin. She felt a little pain from the impact but didn’t get hurt. The pain was so great that her small face became twisted for a while.

Her chin had been bruised from Saint Zachary’s pinch, and her long curly hair was messy. She looked especially pitiful.

It could be due to the influence of the soul crystal in front of his chest that Mitchell’s heart softened. He tugged off the animal skin on Bai Qingqing’s legs and touched the wound on her upper thigh where she had been cut by the scorpion pincer.

“Does it hurt here?” Mitchell asked.

The temperature was too cold and Bai Qingqing could no longer feel the piercing pain from her skin. She shook her head and said, “I just feel cold.”

Mitchell covered the animal skin over her legs again and then said, “My mother still has many animal skin clothing. I’ll bring them here for you to wear.”

Bai Qingqing didn’t stand on ceremony with him. She gave him an “en” as a reply, lowered her head to look at An’an, then said, “Can you bring some food and start a fire as well?”

She could go hungry, but An’an couldn’t. She’d better fill up her stomach first.

Mitchell mumbled “troublesome”, then left the ice house, closing the heavy stone door behind him.

After Mitchell left, Bai Qingqing stood up barefooted. The frozen soles of her feet almost became stuck to the ground and the chill darted up. Even her heart felt like it was going to freeze.

She withheld her discomfort and walked over to the corpse.

As expected, it was Chris. Ice had formed everywhere else, but the rocks in this area revealed a brown stone-material surface. Even the person laying down seemed to be in good condition, her cheeks even slightly flushed, as if she was alive.
