Chapter 260: The Companion Out of the Thorn Forest
Life in the forest was indeed difficult. The human cub was right. The four of them were quadruplets. They were less than a year old when they encountered the end of the world. Overnight, everything changed. The leopard father and mother died to protect them. The other leopards either turned into monsters and killed animals everywhere, or were turned into monsters by the monsters. The black panther clan was almost extinct.
Their territory was occupied by other animals and then attacked by yet another kind of animals. Wars continued and the four brothers fled in the forest, facing all kinds of potential crises at any time.
They have no food, no water, and cannot defeat other animals.
Seeing humans today, they were tempted, but when the wall of fire appeared, they knew they had lost. When humans proposed a contract, they were tempted. They had seen contracts between humans and animals, with both good and bad outcomes, and they were unsure of their own fate, so they hesitated.
I hope I'm lucky. Being with humans means I won't starve, and we can stand together in times of danger, not fight alone. Humans are cunning, not just a derogatory term. To a certain extent, they are intelligent, knowing how to seek benefits and avoid harm, gaining greater advantages, securing more opportunities, and living longer in this difficult world.
The first impression of these humans was not bad. They could have been completely suppressed by force, but they didn't, which says a lot.
"They agreed." Niu Niu's tone was full of excitement.
The kids were happy, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."
An agreement was reached and the contract went smoothly.
Cui Zipeng's leopard is called Leopard Brother, Fang Tongtong's is called Leopard Three, and Niuniu's is called Little Leopard.
Lebao rushed over and hugged the leopards and kissed them, "There are so many animals, we can play together in the future."
After the contract was signed, the leopards felt dizzy and lost, their animal lives feeling too surreal. How could they have agreed so easily? Was it too hasty? So, they came here tonight just to deliver food? Had they successfully sent themselves away?
Why is there a sense of sadness flying around?
The corners of the hawk's mouth shrunk to the back of his ears. Isn't it too late to start thinking about the life of an animal now? Stupid leopard.
Lan Shiruo brought Lebao back and stroked the leopards' heads. They were smooth and slippery, and felt good. "Welcome to join us. It's late. Let's go back and rest first. We have to travel tomorrow."
The leopards subconsciously rubbed Lan Shiruo's palm, feeling that the contract was actually very good.
"Roar" Thank you.
Lan Shiruo smiled. These leopards had assimilated the special abilities of their master, and they would surely become the best contract partners in the future.
Ao Chengyi pulled his young wife's hand over and said, "Just touch it once, why keep touching it?" "Let's go inside. It's cold outside."
The cubs were very excited to have new friends. They brought their own animals into the container, showed them around, and even shared their snacks.
Lan Shiruo didn't disturb them. She took Lebao, her two pets, and Ao Chengyi into a room, leaving the rest of the space to them.
The night was fruitful. The next morning, although the four cubs did not sleep for long, they were very energetic and cared about their leopard very attentively.
After breakfast, Ao Chengyi arranged the tasks, "Now that we have the leopards, we need to speed up. The leopards bring their masters with them. Is there any problem?"
The leopard shook its head and roared, "No problem." While they'd been hiding in the past, they weren't completely surviving, or they wouldn't be so sleek and slick now. They were familiar with the forest, and their speed made them easy to get anywhere.
Ao Chengyi nodded, "Okay, pack up and set off, and try to reach the tribe tomorrow."
Lan Shiruo took Le Bao to sit on the back of the general, and Ao Chengyi could sit on the back of the goshawk.
In the forest, the goshawk cannot spread its wings and fly high, but its speed in jumping and flapping on the tree trunks is not slow. Its carrying capacity is not as strong as the grip of its claws, but it can still carry Ao Chengyi.
After everything was arranged, the group set off, with the leopard leading the way. They moved quickly through the forest. If they encountered some low-level mutant creatures, they would crush them directly. Those with a slightly higher level and some intelligence would not come out casually. They would lie dormant and look for suitable hunting opportunities.
So, it was a smooth journey.
The friends on the other two sides are much more miserable.
The six people in the thorn forest spent the whole night splitting the firebreak. Not to mention how tired they were, their bodies and faces were covered in ashes from the burnt thorns. They were all covered in dust and looked extremely miserable.
After daybreak, each of them ate a piece of bread and did not rest for long. They set off directly, trying to leave the thorn forest as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows how many vipers would appear at night, which would scare them to death.
The six of them were together, and with strength in numbers, they finally walked out of the thorn forest at noon.
However, after coming out, what greeted me was not a ray of hope, but a strong wind. At least I had a tent last night, but now it was hit directly, and my face was deformed by the wind.
The six of them huddled together under a tree, firmly pressing their hands and feet against the ground to avoid being blown away. Their hearts raced with rage. What a horrible place!
In just half an hour of wind, the temperature seemed to drop by dozens of degrees in an instant, and everyone's lips turned purple and their whole bodies shivered from the cold.
After the cold wind, my limbs were as stiff as zombies. I picked up some dry branches nearby, lit a bonfire, and gathered around to warm myself. After I was warm, I ate something and continued on my way.
"I don't know what happened to them," He Lian sighed. It was so hard to navigate the woods. He stepped on something, and it gurgled out, sticky and smelly.
Miaomiao held a big knife and blew the rotten leaves on the ground into the air. "She is definitely better than us. Wherever my sister goes, that is heaven." As for those who are not with her sister, she doesn't know. Miaomiao has great confidence in Lan Shiruo.
Zhang Yun was quite accustomed to such a forest. After all, she had often ventured into such deep mountains and forests before. She conjured a stick from ice and hammered along the way, saying with a smile, "Yes, Shiruo seems to be a person with natural luck. With her, no matter what I do, I can get twice the result with half the effort."
"Although luck is also a part of strength, I think my sister's strength is the strongest, and luck is just the icing on the cake." Miaomiao punched and broke an arm-thick branch that was blocking the way.
The friends were already used to Miaomiao's true love for Lan Shiruo and didn't object. Besides, they also thought so.
Three men were leading the way silently. They didn't want to talk.
You ask, they're clearly a couple, so why are their fortunes so different? They suffered a lot when they were with their big brother, experiencing everything that was worst. Is this God's fairness? When you're given the best in the world, you always have to pay something to balance it out. But what they can't accept is why Big Brother has to take them with him when he's giving.
Regarding the importance of thighs, they have unanimously decided to abandon their eldest brother and throw themselves into the arms of their sister-in-law.
The six of them were the team farthest from their homeland, and they still had to travel through the forest for at least three days.
