Outside, a torrential downpour continued, as if endless rain was about to fall upon this continent.
Cat Duoduo patiently listened, relying on her excellent hearing to hear the hidden pain and struggles in the rain outside. It seemed that other families might not be as carefree and comfortable as theirs...
"Mother, I just took a look. It looks like the river is about to rise to the banks. What if it gets flooded everywhere?" Snake said nervously as he approached.
"It shouldn't be that bad." Mao Duoduo didn't have much memory of the rainy season, but she did use the stove to cook.
Unsure how long the rainy season would last, he opted for a slow, simmering method to minimize the use of firewood. The family of three enjoyed warm soup and fresh vegetables and meat in this way.
For the first few days, the food was so good that it was beyond anyone's imagination.
I couldn't resist. If I could keep going like this for a few more days, the meat I ate would still be fresh.
Even the most carefree child, filled with doubt, asked, "Mommy, where does the meat you make us eat every day come from?"
"Don't worry, eat well and don't tell anyone." Cat Duoduo smiled mysteriously, put one hand on her throat, and winked at them.
She simply goes to the kitchen to cook at the same fixed time as usual, and rarely leaves for special reasons.
The kittens, blushing, thought it over and over, then nodded, tacitly agreeing to CatDodo's arrangement. After all, their mother would never make a mistake, and the other party was the smartest.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed impossible to go out at all. Cat Duoduo was also preparing to take out more delicious food from her space to tempt everyone.
To everyone's surprise, Snake Three screamed, "Mother, waaaaah, the chirping chicken we caught is dead!"
"What!" Cat Duoduo's heart tightened, and she ran to look, only to find that the chicken feet she had caught earlier were tied up with rope.
Their original intention in doing this was simply to hope that the chick would live a few more days so they could eat it fresh later and avoid the hassle. However, the chick secretly ran into the rain and died from being soaked.
Snake Three was so upset and nervous that he was about to cry. Cat Duoduo, trying to remain silent, went over to comfort Snake Three while trying to make everyone happy.
"Cheer up, everyone! Look, we can get chicken today!"
"Look forward to it, we'll help you out, you definitely won't be disappointed."
Since Maoduoduo had said so, the little ones became excited and nodded repeatedly. After all, they were snake-like beastmen who loved water and weren't afraid of the rainy season.
In this way, they will also be more proactive in trying to go out and wander around...
Seeing that they were really bored, Maoduoduo mustered up her courage and told them to stay nearby for a while.
CatDodo has certain rules regarding this.
It's simply a matter of the three little ones going out to play, but they can't go too far, and they can't all run off to play at the same time.
The three children replied, "We understand, Mother, don't worry."
"That's good. I'll cook the chicken properly, and you guys stay put."
After giving her instructions, Maoduoduo boiled water, plucked the feathers off the chichi chicken, and carefully cleaned its organs, preparing to make a delicious dish.
Taking advantage of this moment, the three little ones exchanged glances, perhaps disobeying CatDodo's words, and quickly ran out.
Almost as soon as they stepped outside, they instinctively transformed into their original forms and began walking around in the rain.
In the prototype, they were exceptionally light and natural in the water.
Snake said, "I want to go pick fruit for my mother; she seems to be working quite hard."
Snake Three: "Then I want to see if there are any fish so that Mother can eat more happily."
Snake Two didn't know what he was up to, but he instinctively knew he had to do something big. Because of this, he secretly ran away.
Even when he heard the cries of the first and third snakes later, he didn't respond. He chuckled to himself, thinking how these two were just nosy and insisted on controlling him with all sorts of rules.
Having taken this into account, Snake Two went further and further astray.
A small snake kept moving in one direction deep in the forest.
Meanwhile, the panting orc stumbled forward with shaky steps.
He was already very weak and could collapse at any moment, but he had no choice but to keep going, because if he lost, he would be caught.
"I...I have to keep going, those guys are still looking for me—"
Even so, the man still fell to the ground and was forced to transform into his original form—a large white tiger.
Almost the instant he fainted, Snake Two unexpectedly discovered this guy.
He was initially startled, but quickly his face lit up with joy, and he almost wanted to perform a jump on the spot: It was absolutely perfect! Such a large prey would be enough for his family to eat for several days.
That's right, Snake Two successfully used this as a reserve food. Knowing that dragging it back would definitely earn praise from his family, he gritted his teeth and dragged the other's tail towards home for a while.
On such a rainy day, the difficulty was indeed not low. Snake Two was fortunate to have encountered Snake One and Snake Three.
Having lost their brother, the two dared not return on their own. After searching all the way, relying on the unique connection between brothers, they finally found Snake Two.
The meeting was a success, and the three brothers demonstrated the importance of cooperation, working together to drag the white tiger back home...
In a daze, the alluring fragrance reached my nose.
The male orc was still dazed when he heard the female orc's helpless scolding, "You lot still have a lot to learn. This isn't some kind of reserve food. He's a male orc, so the smell is quite strong."
Snake 1, Snake 3: "So, we can't eat it anymore?" The aggrieved voice couldn't be concealed.
CatDodo was both amused and exasperated, and said, rubbing her forehead, "Even so, I would never let him stay so easily."
What she wanted to say was that a male adult orc meant far too much; he posed a significant threat to them. Only a few of the little ones would be foolish enough to leave him behind.
Just then, a coughing sound rang out.
The white tiger coughed and opened its eyes, giving off a sense of intimidation.
However, he quickly regained his human form. Apart from the obvious orcish features on his ears, the man was handsome and possessed a strong masculine aura.
If he hadn't turned into an orc and almost ended up streaking...
"ah!"
Cat Duoduo quickly covered her eyes, while Snake Yi and the others glared fiercely at the white tiger male, saying, "You actually tried to take advantage of our mother."
The male white tiger smirked as he looked at his eight-pack abs.
He was taken aback, his dry expression masked by the animal skin.
