Shadow Beasts are extremely powerful and cunning beasts. They are extremely difficult to track down, and even experienced adult orcs would not dare to hunt them alone if they encounter one.
But Xuan is different. Xuan has known since he was a child that he is stronger than other orcs in the tribe. He is confident that he can defeat this shadow beast. In fact, as he expected, the shadow beast was defeated by it, but he failed to kill it directly and let it run away.
Xuan didn't want to give up hunting it. If his adult hunters brought back this beast, the whole tribe would be very happy. And as far as he knew, no adult orc in the surrounding tribes could hunt this beast alone.
Hearing Xuan's words, Meng Yuqing nodded in understanding. Adult hunting sounded like a very important matter.
"I see. We'll set off again after you finish hunting. Is there anything I can help you with?"
If I can help Xuan complete his goal faster, I can also go to his tribe with Xuan earlier.
"No, no need. I've already injured it. I know roughly where it is, but it's very cunning and keeps going in circles. I don't know its exact location, but I will be able to find it soon and complete the adult hunt as soon as possible."
Xuan didn't expect that Meng Yuqing was not angry at all. Instead, she understood his behavior and was willing to help him.
Although it was quite presumptuous for a sub-beast to offer to help the orcs with their hunting, Xuan felt that this sub-beast was truly wonderful, so gentle, and... so enthusiastic.
What's the difference between this and saying that you are willing to live and die with him?
Xuan's ears were stained with a thin layer of red, and he turned his head to stare at the barbecue.
The barbecue made a sizzling sound and wafted a fragrant aroma. Golden fat overflowed and covered the surface of the barbecue, sliding down the barbecue into the fire. It looked delicious. Xuan handed the barbecued meat to Meng Yuqing.
"It's already baked, come and eat it."
Meng Yuqing took the barbecue, which had no salt or other seasonings. He lowered his head and felt a little conflicted.
The surface of the barbecue was golden yellow and the aroma was fragrant. I swallowed my saliva, but still couldn't resist the hunger in my stomach, so I opened my mouth and took a bite.
"Hmm! Delicious!" Meng Yuqing's eyes lit up. Although there was no seasoning, the meat tasted very good.
It is slightly sweet, and the juice flows into your mouth as you bite it. Your entire mouth and nose are filled with the original aroma of barbecue.
"My grilling skills are the best in the tribe. Many people want me to grill meat for them. It's a pity that I went hunting alone this time and didn't bring any salt stones. Otherwise, it would have tasted even better."
Hearing Meng Yuqing's praise, Xuan seemed extremely excited, his eyes narrowed, like a big cat that had its fur stroked and felt comfortable.
He is a big cat, Meng Yuqing thought.
Soon, after finishing the barbecue in his hand, Xuan handed him another piece. Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan, then at the barbecue, but did not take it. Xuan found that he did not take the barbecue and turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?"
"No, I'm full." Meng Yuqing touched her stomach and waved at Xuan. Xuan opened his eyes slightly, his eyes full of disbelief.
"I'm serious—hiccup—" Meng Yuqing burped before he could finish his words. "Look, I'm burping."
Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing seriously for a while, and made sure that he was really full and not trying to save food, so he finished the remaining barbecue in two or three bites.
Then he looked at Meng Yuqing with a look of pity and heartache.
"Eat your food well," Xuan's tone was filled with worry.
"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, I'll definitely do it next time." Meng Yuqing nodded randomly, feeling creepy by Xuan's gaze.
After eating, Meng Yuqing and Xuan cleaned up the cave. Xuan brought back a lot of dry grass from outside and spread it on the ground. Meng Yuqing went over and touched it. It was dry but soft, and it was more comfortable to lie on than she had imagined.
After lying down for a while, I found that Xuan did not come over, but walked out of the cave.
"Why are you out so late?"
"I'll sleep at the entrance of the cave, you can rest in peace inside."
As he spoke, Xuan walked out of the cave and turned into a big black panther again. He lay at the entrance of the cave, blocking two-thirds of the entrance, leaving only the topmost part uncovered.
"It's so cold, you will get sick, come in quickly." Meng Yuqing sat up and said a little anxiously.
"Ah! Don't worry, the beast form won't feel cold in this weather. You just need to rest assured. Besides, I also need to stay in beast form at night to ensure safety." Xuan felt a little strange. This sub-beast seemed to lack common sense.
But looking at the other party's appearance, he didn't seem to be very old, with very white skin, whiter than any other sub-beast in the tribe, and very tender, about the same age as some sub-beasts in the tribe who were less than ten years old.
While thinking, Xuan closed his eyes and prepared to rest. Meng Yuqing saw Xuan lying down motionless. After sitting for a while, he was sure that Xuan was really not going to come in, so he had to lie down.
Everything he had experienced today had exhausted him. As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.
