But the sub-beast was already very impatient. He seemed not to want to watch the battle in the Colosseum, and his eyes began to wander aimlessly.
Xia also stood up at this time and said, "Are you still watching? If not, leave."
As soon as he said this, everyone in Qingshan City stood up.
Except for Ya, the expressions of the others were not good.
They simply packed up their things and walked towards the gate. After they walked out of the gate, no one spoke.
Suddenly, Xuan put his hand on Meng Yuqing's shoulder and walked forward quickly with him. Xia Hefei also quickened his pace at the same time.
Tooth and Chain hurried to follow, and soon they were among the crowd.
In the crowd, they walked aimlessly for a while before heading towards a remote place.
Ya and Xia transformed into beast forms, carried the others on their backs, and ran out of the Colosseum, not even staying in the market outside.
After they found a temporary place to stay in the wild, Lian suddenly kicked the tree next to him and said, "We don't even treat wild animals like this."
Ya said nothing, just patted his shoulder gently.
The other four people were sitting together. If it weren't for their extremely serious expressions, they would look like they were preparing to play mahjong.
"Father beast, do you know that sub-beast?" Xuan was the first to speak.
Xia looked a little dazed. After a long while, he looked at Xuan and said, "It's not like they know each other."
He paused for a long moment before continuing, "I just saw a sub-beast that looked almost identical to him."
Xuan's fingers gently tapped on the animal skin skirt and asked, "The sub-beasts look almost the same, they must be related by blood."
"Yes." Xia stared at Xuan, "The sub-beast I met entrusted his one-day-old cub to me before he died."
Meng Yuqing turned her head uncontrollably to look at Xuan, wanting to see Xuan's reaction.
Fei also looked at Xuan with a calm expression, as if he had known about this for a long time.
Xuan just lowered his head, showing no emotion. He asked, "And then?"
Xia Ye lowered his head and continued, "He escaped from the north. The orcs who escorted him died along with the orcs who were chasing him. He gave birth to cubs in the wild, and the smell of blood attracted wild beasts. He killed several wild beasts, and finally a large beast appeared."
He pursed his lips and continued, "By the time I found him, it was already too late. He was already injured beyond repair, the kind that even herbs couldn't save him. After I killed the large beast, he took his last breath and told me how to find the salt cave and pointed out the direction, asking me to take his cub back and raise it well."
"Coincidentally, his cub form is the same as mine, just the color is different."
"I found a valley with few wild animals and buried him there. I also piled up a lot of stones. I think no wild animals would bother him."
"Then I took the cub back to the tribe. I didn't have any cubs at the time, so I could only rely on instinct to take care of the newborn. Those few days alone with the cub were really tough."
"But that little brat wasn't having a good time either. By the time I was hungry and wanted to eat, he was almost fainting from hunger. I gave him meat, but he couldn't bite through the tendons, so he was so anxious that he had to swallow it directly and almost choked to death."
"I was so scared that I pried his mouth open and dug out all the meat. He wasn't happy about it, so he bit me with his teeth, which were no bigger than grains of sand."
"At the time, I thought this kid would definitely be fierce when he grew up, but if he didn't eat, it was still a question whether he could grow up."
"Then I thought some of the internal organs were soft, so I took them out and gave them to him to eat. But he still refused to eat them. He was so small that he didn't know what he liked and didn't like to eat."
"Later, I had to smash the meat into a paste with a stone, wrap it in leaves, wash it in water, and then feed it to him. I barely managed to prevent him from starving to death."
"We tortured each other like this for several days, and I finally returned to the tribe."
"Then, Qiuye and I had a son."
He was almost pointing out that the cub was Xuan.
I don't know when Ya and Lian came over, and they both sat behind Fei and listened.
After Xia finished speaking, the scene fell into silence again.
Xuan still didn't speak. His eyes flickered slightly, but there was not much expression.
It seemed a little unexpected, but also like he had been mentally prepared.
After hearing all this, Meng Yuqing paid attention to Xuan's condition while thinking about the prompts after the system's first upgrade.
The thorns must refer to the Thorn Tribe, and the sub-beast they were asked to find is most likely this sub-beast.
If he looks exactly like Xuan's uncle, he is most likely the biological brother of Xuan's uncle.
Thinking back to the interaction between the sub-beast and the Thorn Chieftain that I saw in the Colosseum today, it was very likely that the sub-beast was not willing to be with the Thorn Chieftain.
"Could the sub-beast we saw today be Xuan's relative?" Lian said weakly when he saw that no one had spoken.
"Nine out of ten." Meng Yuqing replied in a low voice.
"When we came out today, someone was following us." Fei suddenly spoke up and changed the subject.
Everyone nodded. Although no one said it at the time, they all knew it.
Fei continued, "We haven't done anything strange since we came here. We've been very low-key and haven't interacted with many people. Normally, we shouldn't attract anyone's attention."
After a pause, he turned to look at Xuan, "If two people look very similar, even if we wear the upper half of the mask, people who know us can still recognize us by the lower half of our face."
Ya and Lian both turned to look at Fei, while Meng Yuqing looked at Lian.
Apart from anything else, Lian and his father Beast Association can really be said to share the same face.
When they first went to Bird Island, Xie's brothers mistook Lian for Xie just by seeing Lian's back.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing turned around and looked back at Xuan. If that sub-beast was the brother of Xuan's biological sub-father, then he should also be very familiar with Xuan's biological father beast.
"Do you suspect that the sub-beast sent people to follow us?" Lian asked Fei.
Fei and Xia both nodded. This was very likely. The mask could protect against unfamiliar people, but it would definitely not be able to hide it from familiar people.
"But so many years have passed, he may have been in the Thorn Tribe all the time." Xuan lowered his head and supported his forehead with his hand, so that no one could see his expression.
