"Leize, are you okay?"
Without thinking for too long, Famas rekindled the camp fire after the black wolves retreated.
Lei Ze also walked to the campfire.
"I'm fine, Wolf King, I'm injured."
Following Lei Ze, what appeared in the firelight was the Gray Wolf King with three scratches on his nose and countless wounds on his back and head. He endured the pain and let out a low gasp.
"Need, treatment."
Lei Ze took out a few thorny gecko fruits from his back, rubbed the small thorns off with his hands, quickly took out the seeds in the pulp, and crushed them vigorously.
Soon, the purple juice and the tiny seeds mixed into a pool, and Lei Ze carefully applied the hook juice to the Wolf King's wound.
"Ouch!"
There was no pain to rub salt into the wound. The Gray Wolf King just blew out his fishy breath, and then let Lei Ze smear it all over his body.
This kind of thing is very rare in a hierarchical wolf pack. In Famas's memory, the wolf king's wounds can only be licked by himself, because there are countless gray wolves who covet the status of the alpha wolf. When the alpha wolf is injured and weak, , launch an attack.
And now, the Gray Wolf King allows Lei Ze to help him deal with his wounds, which shows Lei Ze's status in the wolf pack.
"Uncle fruit, crushed and bandaged, can stop bleeding."
"The hook spreads the seeds, anesthetizes and stops bleeding, so as not to hurt."
While treating the Wolf King's wounds, Lei Ze explained to Famas that he seemed to be used to such battles every day. Lei Ze treated the Wolf King's wounds quite skillfully.
Famas then remembered that there is a layer of juice on the seeds of Gammarus, which can not only slightly anesthetize the pain, but also stop bleeding.
This is also the reason why some pubs use hook juice to sell to minors instead of alcohol, because the medicinal effect of numbing pain can allow people who have never drank alcohol to taste the feeling of being drunk to a certain extent.
Soon, Lei Ze took care of all the wounds on the Wolf King's body. He moved his injured nose, slowly stretched out his tongue, and licked Lei Ze's face. The Wolf King roared at the sky.
"Ouch~"
In the dense forest of Benlang Territory, the sounds of wolves were heard one after another.
"They are leaving, they are saying good night."
Lei Ze looked at Famas who was sitting by the campfire again. If it weren't for the smell of blood that began to dissipate in the dense forest, nothing seemed to have happened.
"Wolf King, we need to report. The wolves need to rest and cannot be disturbed."
"You mean, the wolves want to move to another place?"
Famas stood up, patted his butt, and prepared to leave with the wolves.
"We're not leaving. I'm not a wolf."
The cold night wind, accompanied by the chirping of night owls, passed through the leafless old trees with thick branches, and the squeaking of the branches added an eerie coolness to such a night.
The gray wolves began to retreat towards the North Wind Altar, while Lei Ze sat in front of the bonfire again.
"Lord Boreas is right, I am a human being."
"This is a wolf thing."
Sitting in front of the fire, Lei Ze buried his head in his raised knees. His long silver hair looked unreal in the flickering flames.
"But, so what?"
Famas moved to Lei Ze's side and gently touched his head. The two of them sat quietly, Famas looking at the bright moon and stars leaking through the dense leaves above his head.
"Do you really understand the meaning of Lupika? Lei Ze."
Famas looked at the troubled Lei Ze in amusement, and moved his hands from his head to his waist.
Famas also faced the problems that Lei Ze struggled with, but soon he understood what he wanted.
"Protect, my family."
Without raising his head, Lei Ze said angrily.
"Yes, if you just want to protect your family, no matter what your identity is, it doesn't matter, right?"
Hearing Famas's words, Lei Ze subconsciously raised his head, but what he saw was Famas's shining red eyes under the firelight. The tenderness in his pupils and the hand touching his head made Lei Ze feel... A strange kind of intimacy.
"Weird, really weird. My heartbeat is so fast and my face is so hot. Am I sick?"
Staring at Famas's smile, Lei Ze secretly covered his chest. He had never felt this way before. Why was this?
Without warning, he dove into Famas's arms and hugged him from the waist.
"Leize? Are you okay..."
Seeing the little wolf cub jumping into his arms, Famas hugged him in response, but he still lowered his head and asked with concern. He thought Lei Ze had been injured just now, and he was holding it back, only to explode now. .
"Huh? I'm fine, a little cold."
So it's just cold...?
Without thinking about anything else, Famas naturally hugged Lei Ze tighter to relieve his coldness.
"Do you feel cold? I'll make the fire bigger."
"No, I just want it, Famas."
Lei Ze said, moving his head into the arms of the boy in red, like a coquettish little wolf, rubbing Famas's strong chest, smelling the aroma of mint and fire on his body.
"oh?"
Famas seemed to feel something, he smiled evilly and rubbed Lei Ze's head.
Lei Ze's heart was beating fast. This situation made him feel a little dazed, and his face almost became the same color as his pupils.
"Famas is warmer than a campfire."
Lei Ze's hands seemed to be secretly squeezing Famas' strong muscles.
"Well……?"
Famas, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, does not know what Lei Ze means, but the current situation does not seem to be easy to stop directly, so he just allows Lei Ze to continue his actions.
"It's so hot...no, it's so cold."
Lei Ze closed his eyes and said contradictory words, but his hands were still restless. He almost touched Famas's hair and upper body quietly.
"Leize, the wind is too strong, go back and rest."
Feeling Lei Ze's downward palm, Famas didn't know what would happen if this continued, so he began to persuade.
"Again, stay a while."
Lei Ze did not listen to Famas's words, but hugged him tighter.
If this is really the case, there is really nothing we can do.
Famas stood up silently. His strength was astonishing, and he could lift the little wolf cub in his arms with just one princess hug.
"Uh... Famas!"
Lei Ze grabbed Famas's collar and looked at him shyly.
"Let's go back to the nest."
Famas's legs started to fly, and he ran into the depths of the forest with ease. Against the backdrop of the rapidly retreating dark night scene, his ruby-like eyes shone brightly.
In his sight, it was not difficult to find Lei Ze's home. The rocks blocking the view were seen through. Famas stopped in front of a cave blocked by layers of tree shadows and moved the blocking stone with his feet.
Unexpectedly, Lei Ze's residence was quite tidy. A square rock was used as a dining table with fruits placed on it. There were many small lamp grasses in the cave for lighting. The cave was so bright that Lei Ze could not say anything. He carried him deep into the cave.
A large bed made of hay and wild cotton appeared in front of me, as well as decent pillows made of collected poultry down.
Famas threw Razer on the bed.
"I……"
Just as Lei Ze spoke, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, his vision went dark, and he fell on the bed.
When he closed his eyes, the last thing he saw was Famas' helpless eyes.
"I just want to find a mount, not a wolf cub."
Looking at Lei Ze who had fallen asleep, Famas held his forehead and quietly got out of the cave. He kicked the stone blocking the door with his foot and blocked the entrance of the cave.
