The white fox ran back to the cave entrance in shame, paced back and forth outside, not daring to go in.
Three of them came out, and the kitten lay on the white tiger's back, half asleep and half awake.
The black snake floated out like flying, its eyes still cold.
"The foul smell at the entrance of the cave has drifted in..." The kitten wrinkled its nose, covered its nose with its paws, and said in disgust.
The white fox tightened its tail, not daring to shake it anymore, and its ears also drooped.
Baihu's voice was low and full of dissatisfaction, "Where is today's prey?"
The white fox shuddered, half lying on the ground, and replied in a low voice, "I was discovered by those people, and I didn't catch him today..."
“Snap—”
The black snake swung its tail again. The cold tail was harder than a whip and hit her body, leaving a bloody mark instantly. "Are you playing tricks on us?"
"ah--"
"No, I'm not playing tricks. I've really been discovered!" The white fox rolled back and forth on the ground and wailed.
The white tiger walked forward and pressed down lightly with its front paws. It was like a huge rock pressing down on her body, almost breaking her back.
"If there are no humans, go catch other prey. Who allowed you to come back empty-handed?"
The white fox suppressed the groan in his mouth and replied tremblingly, "Yes, I will find new prey right away!"
Then he ran away in a hurry.
The kitten yawned and licked its paw. "Will she be able to hunt for food today? Or should we go find something to eat ourselves?"
Black Snake glanced at him. He was usually the laziest one. "Are you hungry?"
"Um."
"Then let's go." The white tiger said, taking the black snake and the kitten, and walked in the opposite direction of the fox.
Elsewhere, Jiang Yue and the others led their mules to a large tree. Although winter was approaching, the tree was sprouting new buds, showing a flourishing scene.
Jiang Nian released the mule and let it find food on its own. Then he picked up Jiang Yue's legs and helped her sit on a branch.
Jiang Yue swung her legs, enjoying the breeze. It was a quiet place, the wind rustling the leaves, as if she had returned to the mountains behind Jiangjia Village.
She touched Jiang Nian's head. The branch was too thin to support the weight of both of them, so he stood and leaned against her.
"Baby, do you think we should move to another cave?"
Living next door to those people is really annoying. I get woken up all day long and can't even get a good night's sleep. And for someone with keen hearing like Jiang Nian, the torture must be even greater.
Judging from the situation between the two families today, it seems that the quarrel will continue for a while.
"Can."
"How about we go look for it now? There's nothing left in that cave anyway, so we can move it anytime."
She looked deeper and found that strictly speaking, that place did not belong to Tianxia Mountain, but was a small mountain range extending out.
The trees are casting heavy shadows, the branches are shady, and the mist has not yet dissipated. Although the branches and leaves have not yet fully grown new leaves, there is another kind of hazy beauty, and it looks like a mountain range with spiritual energy.
Jiang Nian's ears twitched slightly, and he said calmly, "Okay, let's go now. Bring the mule."
He stretched out his arms and Jiang Yue jumped into his arms.
Just as she was about to row down, Jiang Nian held her tightly and said, "No need to get down. I'll hold you like this."
Jiang Yue leaned on his shoulder, looking behind him quietly, narrowing her eyes, "Is there something following us?"
Jiang Nian patted her back and soothed her, "Well, it's okay, don't worry about it."
The tiger, snake and cat thought they were following closely, but they didn't know that they had been discovered by their prey long ago.
The white tiger stared at the big butt of the mule in front of it and drooled.
"We'll eat the one with the big butt that looks like a deer and the female first, and save the male for tomorrow."
The black snake stuck out its tongue and "hissed"
The kitten spoke slowly, "That's called a mule. Humans like to ride on it. Also, female humans are called women, and male humans are called men."
"Oh, then eat the mule and the woman first."
The kitten nodded. The prey they found was cleaner and smelled better than the one found by the stinky fox.
He asked his eldest brother, "Didn't you say you'd keep some people to work for us? This man is taller than the others, so he must be a good worker!"
Under the education of the hunter family, they gradually developed human consciousness and behavior.
After the hunter family died, they came down the mountain and tried to integrate into human life.
But what did they see?
They wore fox scarves around their necks, soaked snakes in wine, and reportedly even enjoyed eating raw snake gallbladders. They also covered themselves with tiger-skin blankets! Some even locked up and trained monkeys, cats, and other such creatures, using them to please customers and earn money.
Although the hunter also makes a living by hunting, he does not "insult" the prey in the mountains.
In their eyes, the people down the mountain were provoking them.
A few of them were almost caught while stealing food, and returned to the mountains in anger, vowing to "overthrow the rule of humans, let them orcs be the boss, and let humans accept the training of orcs."
At that time, they will also ask humans to perform songs and dances for the orcs. If they are unhappy, they will peel off the human skin and use it to make clothes.
Humans are so weak that they will die if they bleed a little. Why should they live and eat better than them?
Unfortunately, before they could make a detailed plan to attack human territory, the disaster year came, disrupting their pace and making their main task to stay alive.
Kitten: "It looks like they're going into our cave!"
"Oh! That big-assed mule's in! They've taken over our territory!"
White Tiger: "I can tolerate cats, but I can't tolerate tigers! Humans have gone too far!"
Kitten: I can’t stand it either!
The white tiger stretched its neck and raised its head high, "Roar——"
Jiang Yue and the other person stood at the entrance of the cave. Before they could go in, they heard a tiger's roar.
