"You're so happy after catching just one pheasant, what a loser!" Su Jianyuan tapped the back of his head, his face full of disgust.
But there was a faint smile in his eyes.
This little wolf cub is indeed talented and clever; he's already able to shoot his prey after only a few days of learning.
However, it was also the result of Xiao Fu's recent hard work and practice. Su Jianyuan was satisfied with him in his heart, but he didn't say a word of praise.
I'm afraid Xiao Fu will get too cocky!
Xiao Fu had gotten used to her way of getting along with Su Jianyuan, and she smiled foolishly.
He had no future.
Five kittens had somehow gotten to Xiao Fu's feet, stood up, and started pawing at the pheasant's tail with their paws, stuffing the food into their mouths and having a great time.
This is using pheasant tail feathers as a cat toy.
In no time at all, they had almost plucked the pheasant's tail bald.
Su Tang looked behind Su Jianyuan. There were no large prey today, but there were five wild rabbits, all of them large and fat rabbits weighing at least forty or fifty pounds.
This wiped out the entire rabbit colony.
There were also a dozen or so wild eggs, which Su Jianyuan found after searching several pheasant nests today.
He didn't catch any pheasants; they have little meat, and he's not interested in them anymore. He just remembered the location and will go back to collect the eggs later.
This was quite a haul. Su Jianyuan handed the wild eggs to Su Tang, saying, "Sister, take these wild eggs and feed them to the cubs."
Why does he specifically collect eggs?
It's all because these kittens are so cute, soft and white, and sometimes they even knead his belly.
She's completely smitten with this tough guy!
When they first arrived, the five cubs were skinny and thin with sparse fur, which Su Jianyuan found extremely unpleasant. Now that they are chubby, they are truly delicious!
I have to hug the kitten and give it a good cuddling session every day.
Sometimes, if you annoy the kitten and leave two claw marks on his face, he'll just laugh it off and won't get angry at all.
Even if a cub farted right in his face, he would think it smelled good.
Su Tang was speechless at his change in behavior and bluntly said, "If you like it, go have a litter of babies yourself."
Su Jianyuan immediately started talking big, "I'll have one! I'll find a female cat and have a litter of fluffy kittens!"
He's already decided on the race of his future partner.
"Why are these things here? Weren't they sent to Wolf Nini?" Su Jianyuan said casually, then noticed the supplies that Wolf Qi had brought back.
Su Tang then told him about what had happened that day.
"Go to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain? Sure, I've been wanting to explore the area too. I wonder what the other tribes here are like!" Su Jianyuan had no objections whatsoever. Even though he was unfamiliar with the place, he wasn't afraid to travel far. That's just his personality; he loves to take risks.
Most importantly, the gray wolf tribe is all wolves, not the petite and cute cat-like beast he's looking for!
The name "Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain" suggests the presence of many races; what if one of them is among them?
"I want to go to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts too! I want to go too!" Xiao Fu jumped up excitedly as soon as he heard this.
He had heard from the cubs of the Gray Wolf Tribe that the Beast Mountain was the largest tribe in the vicinity, with many powerful orcs, and he wanted to see it for himself.
"No, you're too young. It's not safe on the road. You can't go." Su Tang refused his request without hesitation.
Lin Xia also said, "Xiao Fu, your brother is going to exchange for Bai Shi. He will be carrying a lot of things on the way. Why don't you stay at home with us?"
Lin Xia was quite gentle with Xiao Fu.
After all, in her heart, he was a pitiful child.
Xiao Fu let out an "Oh," and his excitement immediately vanished.
In the past, he would have cried and screamed, thrown a tantrum, and insisted on going with him.
But now he's more sensible. He knows that if he acts like before, his older sister will be the first to be ruthless. Beating him with a stick would be the least of his worries, and he wouldn't dare to do that.
Su Jianyuan spent the most time with Xiao Fu. Seeing him like this, he patted his head and said:
"Oh what? There will be plenty of opportunities to go to the Beast Mountain in the future. Once you can stand on your own, the task of exchanging white stones at the Beast Mountain will be entrusted to you. You won't be able to go even if you don't want to."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fu perked up again.
"Then when I grow up, let me go to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to exchange for the White Stone!" he said with anticipation.
Su Tang looked surprised. This little wolf cub actually listened to Su Jianyuan so much, and was coaxed in just a few words?
Su Jianyuan looked smug. He used to give those young guys plenty of pep talks when he was leading troops, so he knew this routine better than anyone.
The trip to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain was thus decided.
That evening, Lin Xia cooked a big meal to nourish Su Jianyuan, as he hadn't had such good food while traveling.
The mother still felt sorry for her son, so she made him a lot of dried meat and dried sweet potatoes, which are easy to carry. They were all cooked, so he could eat them directly on the road when it was inconvenient to start a fire.
The next day at noon, Lang Zhuang arrived on time.
Upon seeing him arrive, Su Tang knew this male was trustworthy and introduced him to Su Jianyuan:
“Brother, this is the Wolf Strong I told you about. He knows the way and will take you to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.”
“Wolf Warrior, this is my second brother.”
After Su Tang finished her introduction, Su Jianyuan also looked at the male in front of him.
Wolf Strong had tidied himself up before coming out, so he wasn't as disheveled and haggard as he was yesterday. However, his animal skin was quite tattered with several holes, and his hair was long, hanging down behind his ears. Finally, his face was visible.
As his name suggests, he is very sturdy, tall and strong, a true tough guy.
Su Jianyuan felt a connection with him and said loudly, "Just call me A Yuan."
Lang Zhuang nodded to him, which was a greeting.
Before the two even set off, Lin Xia cooked another barbecue for Su Jianyuan so he could eat his fill before leaving.
"Wolf Strong, why don't you join us for a bite?" Su Jianyuan generously invited Wolf Strong. He was the one who caught the prey, so he wouldn't miss out on this meal.
"No need, you can eat. I brought food." Lang Zhuang picked up a leather bag, about the size of a snakeskin bag, which was his food for the journey.
He had already taken his rightful prey; how could he possibly eat theirs?
Seeing that he said that, Su Jianyuan stopped insisting, quickly finished his lunch, and set off with Lang Zhuang with the supplies.
There were only six sheep left. Each person took half, and Su Jianyuan took the two baskets. He also took two rabbits that he had caught yesterday and tied them together with the sheep from Lang Zhuang's side.
The prey were all tied up tightly, so they didn't have to carry them on their backs, as that would be too heavy. They dragged the other end of the rope along the ground, but even so, it was still very hard work.
Su Tang also put water in a ceramic jar and placed it in a basket along with the dry food that Lin Xia had prepared.
The food basket and two other baskets were tied together with rope. After Su Jianyuan transformed into a leopard, he simply hung them on his back, with the baskets hanging on either side, which was very convenient.
And so the two set off.
