As Kumano spoke, he sniffed the air.
As a person who has awakened the brown bear, even if he has not transformed into a beast, his sense of smell is very sensitive.
He could clearly smell that the person in front of him was Shi Li.
But...Shi Li is not like that.
Xiong Ye frowned and looked at Shi Li.
When Shi Li heard what Xiong Ye said, he was stunned.
Kumano suddenly asked this... He realized that his reaction made Kumano suspicious.
He said subconsciously: "I said that when we are together in the future, I will give you the best meat every day."
Shi Li remembered this promise. After all, after he became the Beast King in his previous life, Xiong Ye specifically mentioned it, and he always felt that his promise was particularly stupid.
With such powerful strength, who would lack a piece of meat?
However, after making this promise again... Shi Li inevitably recalled some things that happened at that time.
When he was young, he liked Kumano very much, and Kumano was his best choice at that time.
He, his mother and his younger brother were driven out from another tribe. His mother was very weak and he was not awakened at the time, so they almost starved to death and encountered many dangers.
When he encountered danger once, he awakened, but he was still young at that time, and the awakened beast form was also in its juvenile form, and he could not hunt at all.
If he had awakened earlier, because of his beast form, his family might not have been driven out of the tribe, but he awakened too late.
For a child who has just awakened, even if he awakens to a powerful beast form, it is completely meaningless. He may even become hungrier because he needs more food.
It was not until he stole the fish from Xiongye that he had a relatively stable life - the residence of the Big Bear Tribe was chosen by the previous priest of the Big Bear Tribe. There was a river nearby and many edible plants grew around it. It was safe to live in the valley... They finally didn't have to worry about being attacked while sleeping at night and not seeing the sun tomorrow.
But his mother and younger brother are two huge mountains pressing on him, and he has to find a way to feed them.
During those years, he lived a very depressed life and worried about food every day. During those years, only Kumano could make him feel a little more relaxed.
It was the young Kumano who took him to the river to catch fish and shrimps. It was Kumano who told him what he could eat and what he could not eat. It was also Kumano who gave him some food several times when he was about to give up.
At that time, he was truly grateful to Kumano and liked Kumano, so when Kumano proposed to him as a partner after they became adults, he agreed without hesitation.
But later... Shi Li felt that it was really stupid to sacrifice his whole life just for a small favor.
He also began to resent Kumano's presence.
Everyone knows that he almost starved to death when he was a child and it was Kumano who saved him.
Everyone feels that if there was no Kumano, there would be no him.
Everyone believed that he could become a powerful beast king because of Kumano.
…
Kumano has been performing well and everyone around him likes him.
He hated these things, and after Kumano's death, he even felt like he was finally liberated.
Kumano did help him, but it was just with a few bites of food. Kumano helped more than just him... Why should he be bound to Kumano for the rest of his life just because of this?
Shi Li really didn't want to live under the shadow of Xiong Ye all his life like he did in his previous life.
Reborn, he wants to live for himself.
When Xiong Ye heard Shi Li repeat the promise he made, he felt at ease.
He didn't know when he started to like Shi Li. He only knew that when men of the same age were talking about Hu Yue, Xiong Bai, and the most beautiful Lang Yin in the tribe, he was only thinking about Shi Li.
The women in the tribe all like strong or good-looking men. Some men cannot find women who are willing to be with them, so they will be with other men.
He knew that such things existed, but he never thought that he would be like this before he was fifteen. After all, he was very strong, and he knew that there would be many women willing to be with him.
It's just that he didn't want many women since he was a child. He just wanted one partner and then raise their children well...
Of course, that was all in the past. When he was fifteen, he discovered that he liked men, especially Shi Li.
And Shi Li should also like him. They always stay together. At the end of last year, when he asked Shi Li if she was willing to be with him, Shi Li agreed without hesitation.
Shi Li's strange behavior these past two days might be due to something happening to him - Yang Ying and Yang Su always say bad things about him.
"Shi Li, did something happen to you?" Xiong Ye asked.
Shi Li looked at Xiong Ye and shook his head irritably: "No."
"I'll give you half of this ridgeback dragon's meat. You should eat well these few days. In half a month, we will become partners." Kumano said. He was a little looking forward to becoming partners.
The ceremony of becoming a partner requires changing into the form of an animal. He decided to eat more during these days so that his fur would be smooth and shiny.
Of course, the same goes for Shi Li. Shi Li cares a lot about his sideburns, and Kumano also hopes that Shi Li can be handsome.
Shi Li was startled and suddenly realized that in a few days, he and Xiong Ye would become partners.
This is impossible no matter what.
Shi Li said without thinking: "We are still young, can we not be so anxious?"
Xiong Ye's heart, which had just settled down, was raised again: "What do you mean?"
Shi Li was a little afraid of Xiong Ye, but he was definitely not afraid of the Xiong Ye in front of him: "Xiong Ye, are you sure you want to be with me forever? We still have decades to live together, you..."
"I'm sure." Kumano said. He went out early in the morning today and went hunting in the wind and rain. He had never felt cold before, but now he suddenly felt... the drizzle mixed with the wind blowing on his body was really cold.
"But I'm not sure. Xiongye, I've thought about it carefully, and I want a child." Shi Li said.
Xiong Ye finally understood why Shi Li had been like this for the past two days.
Shi Li regretted it!
Although it was he who proposed it, it was Shi Li himself who agreed to become his partner. Now there are only a few days left, and Shi Li is actually going to go back on his word!
Everyone in the tribe knew that they were going to become a couple!
Xiong Ye asked coldly, "Are you going to regret not becoming my partner?"
Shi Li nodded, and then saw a large piece of bloody flesh flying towards him...
Kumano threw the meat of the ridgeback dragon in his hand towards Shi Li, and then he rushed over and punched Shi Li in the face as he dodged the attack of the meat.
Shi Li let out an angry roar and immediately turned into a beast form. Xiong Ye also turned into a beast form without hesitation and began to suppress Shi Li and beat him.
In the eyes of the people in the tribe, the fighting capabilities of Shili and Xiongye are similar, and this is indeed the case.
Xiong Ye is large in size and strong in strength. His weight in beast form is twice that of Shi Li, but his movements are not as agile as Shi Li. Although his claws are ten centimeters long, they are not sharp because he cannot normally retract them.
He didn't have much of an advantage when hunting.
But now the two were fighting in close combat, and the platform at the entrance of the cave was still very narrow.
Moreover...after becoming the Beast King, Shi Li no longer needs to hone his combat skills. He can crush all dinosaurs and most orcs with his own strength, and he has not hunted on his own for decades.
But Kumano is different. At his age, he spends all day studying how to hunt and thinking about how to use his advantage of strength to fight. He has figured out a set of fighting methods.
The brown bear, who had lost a lot of weight after the winter, pinned the lion under him, his claws flying, leaving several bloody marks on the lion's shoulders and buttocks. A lot of the lion's short hair was scratched off. The lion turned its head and wanted to bite him, but he slapped it on the head again.
The lion struggled violently but couldn't break free and could only whimper.
Xiongye caught Shili and hit him several times, then let him go.
He knew that Shi Li's strength was not that weak. Shi Li did not resist now, probably because he knew he had let him down and felt guilty.
Kumano stood up and wanted to change into human form, but he felt that he was too embarrassed now... The brown bear, which was almost three meters tall, kicked the lion, picked up the meat of the ridgeback dragon, and walked out.
After walking a few steps, he turned around and picked up the animal skin he was wearing before his transformation.
There was a lot of noise here, and many people in the tribe looked over, each with a look of confusion on their faces.
Meeting these people's gazes, Kumano felt a little embarrassed and left quickly.
But the one who felt even more ashamed was Shi Li.
Shi Li didn't expect that he would be completely defenseless under Xiong Ye's hands!
No, it wasn't that he didn't have the strength to resist, he just underestimated his enemy, and he couldn't fight as brutally as Kumano.
Once he practices well and becomes stronger, Kumano will never be able to defeat him!
Shi Li didn't have the face to transform into human form, so he turned around and walked back in beast form.
He wanted to leave in a graceful manner, but the wounds on his body held him back... In the end, he limped into his cave without even picking up his fallen clothes.
Finally, Yang Su, who came out from nowhere, picked up Shi Li's clothes and returned to the cave.
There was a roar of a lion in the cave, and Yang Su quickly came out of the cave again. With a sullen expression, he closed the cave door and walked out dejectedly.
After walking a few steps, he saw Zhou Ji sitting lazily at the door of an open cave next to him, looking at the place where his brother had fought with Kumano before.
Yang Su was furious and grabbed a stone nearby and threw it at Zhou Ji. He didn't dare to mess with other people in the tribe, but he was not afraid of Zhou Ji at all.
Zhou Ji leaned to the side to avoid the stone, then hooked the door of his cave with his foot, closed the door and blocked Yang Su outside.
Yang Su spat at the door of Zhou Ji's cave and ran downstairs. However, after running a few steps, he tripped over a tree root that came from nowhere and fell dizzy.
In the cave, Zhou Ji took out a fruit that shouldn't be available at this time of year and started eating it.
