The red figure seemed to hear Gu Ning's voice, its statue-like body slowly beginning to move.
It turned its head slightly, revealing half of a fair... profile.
Gu Ning's steps slowed to a halt, her gaze fixed uncertainly on the... person before her.
Now that she was closer, Gu Ning realized the red shape wasn't a cloak, but a thick mane of long, red hair. And it... he, was crouched on the ground. While not exactly burly, he had the form of a Beastman.
'Is this Barto?'
"Barto?" Gu Ning called out tentatively to the red-haired Beastman. Seeing the cold look he gave her, she stopped two or three meters away, not daring to get any closer for the moment.
This male Beastman was different from the normal ones she had seen. His face was handsome and refined, but it was marred by several red marks, and his eyes held a beastly ferocity.
He looked more like a Dwarf hybrid.
