Chapter 49: Beast World (Thirteen)

Chu Yun was so moved that he almost cried when he took a mouthful of the fragrant rice. How long had it been since he had eaten rice?

Mengze also fried a plate of vegetables with boiled lard, and the rest was barbecued meat.

Ordinary dishes seemed so sumptuous in Chu Yun's eyes. Chu Yun ate mouthful after mouthful while Meng Ze sat beside him and picked up food for him.

"Eat slowly, there's still plenty."

"Mengze, you eat too! The heart of this vegetable is very tender."

Mengze actually doesn't like eating vegetables or rice. He doesn't have a strong appetite and usually eats meat raw without chewing.

Seeing Chu Yun eating so happily, he reluctantly took two bites, but he still didn't like it.

He took note of Chu Yun's taste and felt more confident when cooking in the future.

While eating, Chu Yun heard a vague noise coming from outside. He put down the wooden bowl and wanted to go out to see the gossip.

Meng Ze stopped Chu Yun who was about to run out and wiped his mouth:

"Are you full? What's so interesting about quarreling?"

"I want to go, I want to go!"

Mengze took him downstairs and saw several males gathered at the entrance of a nearby cave, arguing fiercely.

"I met Qianqian first, and now that her estrus is over, I should be the first one to find a partner!"

"You are not as good as me, so why do you think you can do that?"

"Stop arguing and ask Qianqian's opinion first!"

"Then let's fight, whoever wins goes first!"

The battle was about to break out, and several males turned back to their original forms, with the three-striped leopard beast standing in front of Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian's face was full of embarrassment, with a blood stain on her butt. Seeing that several orcs were about to fight, she could only try to stop them.

Chu Yun empathized with Luo Qianqian's distress and asked Meng Ze what to do during the female's estrus period?

"have no idea!"

Meng Ze said this coldly and was about to leave with Chu Yun, who was watching the fun. She kept staring at other females in front of him. Did she think he was dead?

"Wait, she's in such a difficult situation, can we help her?"

Meng Ze looked down at the little rabbit in his arms, his eyes showing sympathy for the female. It seemed that there was no sign of courtship...

That won’t work either!

"The leopard beast next to him is very powerful, so he doesn't need us."

Indeed, the leopard joined the battle soon. The orcs were no match for him and were beaten and fled in disgrace.

But the leopard beast also looked seriously injured, with a big cut on its abdomen, and blood dripping all over the ground.

"Qianqian, I won't... I won't force you. No one can... force you to get together..."

After saying that, Leopard couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. Blood was still flowing, and he was gasping for breath, looking like he was about to die.

Luo Qianqian was already crying, fearing that the leopard beast was dead, so she hugged the leopard's head and cried loudly:

"Wuwu... please wake up quickly... please don't die, I'm scared..."

Chu Yun was so anxious that he grabbed Meng Ze's hair and shook it:

"Hurry! He's dying, let's... let's go save him!"

Mengze stared at the leopard for a long time, then he clicked his tongue and realized that he had encountered a loading beast.

He patted Chu Yun's head and signaled him to look over there. Chu Yun looked over anxiously and found a clue.

The leopard was lying on Luo Qianqian's thighs, still looking like it was about to die, but its head kept drilling into the roots of Luo Qianqian's legs, and its tail was shaking uncontrollably with joy.

The horrific-looking wound on the abdomen stopped bleeding, and a closer look revealed that it was only a superficial injury.

——Expert.

Only Luo Qianqian's brain, deprived of oxygen from crying, didn't react. I wonder how long this leopard will keep pretending.

Sure enough, after a while the leopard turned into an orc and began to whisper to Luo Qianqian. After a while, the two of them supported each other and entered the cave.

It’s high, really high.

north.

"Is this lion crazy? He keeps coming to our tribe every few days. How did Chu Yun offend him?"

"Abu and Chuyun are getting along well. Ask Abu if he knows."

Abu leaned quietly against the cave with his eyes closed. All the adult male animals in the tribe who did not have females had the responsibility to protect their cubs and maintain the safety of the tribe.

He took Chuyun out to look for food, but they disappeared and could not find any scent.

When he came back, Qingqing scolded him. He spent several days in a daze. The next time he heard from Chuyun, it was that a lion had come to his house.

Ask Chu Yun if he has ever come back.

The negative answer made the lion instantly furious. He didn't believe it and rushed into the tribe like a madman and turned it upside down.

Finally, he lay in Chuyun's cave and cried sadly, and no one could drive him away.

This happened every day for the next few days. The lion would occasionally cry in Chuyun's cave, and sometimes would not dare to go in when it reached the cave entrance.

Just like that, the cold season came, and all the green was covered under the thick ice. Few animals came out to look for food, because the little fur on the animal tattoos could not withstand the biting cold.

But the lion beast went out every day, and his body was covered with small wounds caused by frostbite. The most serious ones were his palms, which were covered with a layer of frostbite. The cracks had turned blue and black, and there were blood stains on the snow where he stepped.

He went out to seek death like this, and everyone in the tribe thought he didn't want to live anymore.

Shi Cheng looked at the vast expanse of white, occasionally spotting frozen animals beneath the ice. Where had Yunyun gone? He had to find him; Yunyun would surely die in this cold.

die……

How could this happen? He... He just ran away for a short while, how could he... disappear?

The snake beast didn't bring Yunyun back to the tribe. Snakes hibernate in winter, so who would wash Yunyun's clothes and cook for him? It's so cold, there's definitely no one to take care of him...

Shi Cheng has been living in regret every moment these days, wondering if he hadn't lost his temper, if he hadn't run away... if, if.

...Unfortunately, there is no if.

If Yunyun died, there would be no point in him living.

He dragged his tired body back to the cave. This was where Yunyun had always lived. It was even worse than his own cave. There was still a little bit of Yunyun's breath remaining on the grass nest, but it was about to dissipate.

There was a half-eaten potato in the corner, and the teeth marks showed that it was Yunyun's. He always liked to eat half of his food.

Shi Cheng couldn't help laughing when he recalled something, and then he started crying while laughing.

Abu no longer took the lion's crying seriously and came to do it every day.

He walked into the cave, and the lion beast's eyes turned red and shot at him fiercely:

“Get out!!”

Shi Cheng guarded this simple cave like a dragon guarding a treasure.

Abu spoke for the safety of the tribe:

"Chu Yun may have gone south."

Seeing that the lion beast had listened, he continued:

"You've been looking for him for a long time but haven't found him, right? He has no food left. If he wants to survive, he has to go south."

Abu didn't know that Chuyun was taken away by a stray animal, nor did he know that Chuyun didn't know the way to the south at all.

At present, the most important thing is to stabilize this powerful lion beast. He comes to the tribe every day, and the cubs in the tribe are so scared that they refuse to eat. This is not acceptable.

Shi Cheng had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but the snake beast that took Chu Yun away was about to hibernate. Would the snake beast be able to withstand hibernation and take Chu Yun to the south for the winter?

Since we can’t find anyone in the north, let’s try the south. If we can’t find anyone... it’s good to see a corpse.

...At least there is a result, and I can go down to see Yunyun earlier.
