The white fox ran back to the cave entrance dejectedly, pacing back and forth outside, not daring to go in.
Three came out, and the kitten lay on the white tiger's back, half asleep.
The black snake floated out as if flying, its eyes still cold.
"The filthy smell at the entrance of the cave is coming in..." The kitten wrinkled its nose, covered it with its paws, and said in disgust.
The white fox tightened its tail, not daring to wag any more, and lowered its ears.
The white tiger's voice was low and dissatisfied, "Where is today's prey?"
The white fox trembled, half lying on the ground, and replied in a low voice, "They found it, but they didn't catch it today..."
"Snapped--"
The black snake flicked its tail again, and the cold tail was harder than a whip. It hit her body, and a blood mark instantly appeared, "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 whined.
Bai Hu stepped forward and pressed her front paw lightly, like a big stone pressing on her body, almost crushing her back.
"If you go to catch other prey without humans, who allows you to come back empty-handed?"
The white fox suppressed the moan in his mouth and answered tremblingly, "Yes, I will find new prey right away!"
Then he ran away in a mess.
The kitten yawned and licked its paws, "Can she hunt for food today? How about we go find food ourselves?"
Black Snake glanced at him, he was usually the laziest, "Are you hungry?"
"Um."
"Then let's go." White Tiger said, leading Black Snake and Kitten in the opposite direction of Fox.
On the other side, Jiang Yue and the two led their mules to a big tree. It's obviously winter, but the trees are sprouting buds at this time, and they are thriving.
Jiang Nian let go of the mule and let it find food on its own. Then he picked up Jiang Yue's legs and moved her to sit on a branch.
Jiang Yue swayed her legs and enjoyed the breeze. Here, there is silence, and the wind rustles the leaves, as if I have returned to the time in the mountains behind Jiangjia Village.
She touched Jiang Nian's head. The branches were too thin to support the weight of the two of them, so he stood and leaned next to her.
"Zi, do you think we should live in a cave instead?"
Living next door to that group of people now makes me really irritated. I am woken up all day long and can't even get a good night's sleep. For someone with keen hearing like Jiang Nian, the torture should be even greater.
Judging from the situation of the two families today, it is estimated that they will be in trouble for a while.
"Can."
"Why don't we go look for it now? There's nothing left in the cave anyway, and it can be moved at any time."
She looked deeper. Strictly speaking, it did not belong to Tianxia Mountain, but a small mountain range extending out.
The trees are heavily shadowed, the branches are covered, and the mist has not dispersed. Although the branches and leaves have not completely grown new leaves now, there is another hazy beauty, and it is like a mountain with aura.
Jiang Nian's ears twitched slightly and he said calmly, "Okay, go now. Take the mule."
He stretched out his hands and Jiang Yue jumped into his arms.
Just as she was about to row down, Jiang Nian hugged her tightly, "No need to get down, I'll hold you like this."
Jiang Yue lay on his shoulder, looking behind her quietly, narrowing her eyes, "Is there something following us behind?"
Jiang Nian touched her back and comforted her, "Well, it's okay, don't bother with her."
The three tiger, snake and cat thought they were following closely, but little did they know that they had been discovered by their prey.
Bai Hu stared at the big butt of the mule in front and salivated.
"We'll eat the one with the big butt like a deer and the female first, and save the male for tomorrow."
The black snake stuck out its tongue, "Hiss——"
The kitten spoke slowly, "That's called a mule. Humans like to ride on it. Also, human females are called women, and males are called men."
"Oh, then eat the mule and the woman first."
The kitten nodded. The prey they were looking for was cleaner and smelled better than what the smelly fox found.
He asked his eldest brother, "Didn't you say that we should keep someone to work for us? This man is taller than the others, so he will definitely be good at work!"
Under the upbringing of the Orion family, they gradually developed human consciousness and behavior.
After the Orion family died, they went down the mountain and once tried to integrate into human life.
But what did they see?
Those people wore fox scarves around their necks, soaked snakes in their wine, and I heard they liked to eat snake galls raw, and they were covered with tiger skin quilts! There are also people who lock up monkeys, cats and other similar species and let them please the guests to make money.
Although the hunter also makes a living by hunting, he does not "insult" the prey in the mountains.
In their eyes, the people at the foot of the mountain were provoking them.
A few of them were almost caught stealing food, and angrily returned to the mountains, vowing to "overthrow human rule, make orcs the boss, and let humans accept the training of orcs."
When the time comes, they will also let humans perform songs and dances for the orcs. When they are unhappy, they will skin the humans and use them to make clothes.
Humans are so weak and will die if they bleed a little, so why should we live and eat better than them?
Unfortunately, before they could make a detailed plan to attack human territory, the year of disaster came, and their pace was disrupted, and their main task was to stay alive first.
Kitten: "They seem to be entering our cave!"
"Oh! That big-assed mule is in! They've taken over our territory!"
White Tiger: "Cats can't tolerate tigers! Humans have gone too far!"
Kitten: I can’t bear it either!
The white tiger stretched its neck and raised its head, "Roar——"
Jiang Yue and the two stood at the entrance of the cave. Before they could explore inside, they heard the roar of a tiger.
