Ancient Eden

ecially when his eyes, which seemed to contain a blue light, looked towards her direction, she unconsciously took a step back.

Fortunately, the man did not pay attention to her, he only cared about his own business as he walked towards a pile of large tree roots, he pulled out from a corner a handful of unknown grass, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it for a moment.
He then spitted it out on the palm of his hand, and applied it on his shoulder wound.
After that, he went back to the monster bird, slightly crouched down, and using the spear and a little force, flung the body onto his shoulders.
With big strides, he walked back towards the direction of the wooden house.

When he passed by Mu Qing, a few syllables came out of his mouth.
Mu Qing guessed he was probably saying “come with me”, or “if you’re not coming, then wait for death here” or something with the same meaning.
After saying his piece, he did not care about her, and just walked forward on his own.

Mu Qing did not hesitate this time, and immediately followed after him.

Although the man was carrying the large bird on his shoulders, which was probably weighing around one hundred kilos, but he was walking very fast, for every step he took, Mu Qing had to walk two steps to keep up with.

All the way, she had been trying very hard to keep up, but gradually she fell behind, about twenty meters were separating them.

With this kind of distance in such a dense forest, one could get lost in a blink of an eye.

A little dejected, Mu Qing gritted her teeth and directly started running to catch up with him.

Probably because he heard the sound of her footsteps behind him stepping over the dead leaves, he turned around to look at her, and started walking at a slower pace.

Mu Qing told herself that he was probably also be a little tired, which was why he was slowing down the pace.

At first, Mu Qing thought that she had managed to escape quite far away, but making the trip back, she found out that, just then, she actually had not run very far away at all.
It was probably even less than one kilometer away.

Seeing yet again that big tree with the wooden house, Mu Qing quickly walked a few steps, before suddenly and heavily dropping on the ground that was covered with dead leaves.
Leaning back against a tree stump, she let out a long breath.

Being back to the place where she had stayed one night, it surprised her to find out that she seemed to feel a sense of security about this place in her heart.
