hunt and eat

Without any precautions, let alone a small stronghold, even a medium-sized stronghold with a cloud of strong people may be wiped out by blood.

However, it hadn't waited for it to leave along the way down the mountain.Several red lotus lions, which were much bigger than it, suddenly blocked in front of it.

【What's up? 】

Because he doesn't often eat meat, Xiao Hei's body is relatively thin among the red lotus lions, and he is the kind that is easier to bully just by looking at his appearance.

[The king has an order, during this time, everyone stays here]

On the dark head, the expression quickly stiffened, and Xiao Hei resisted the fear in his heart, and roared tentatively:

【I have a treasure that I want to dedicate to the king】

【My lair is very close to here, and I will soon be able to...】

Unexpectedly, the faces of the red lotus lions became visibly disdainful.

Xiao Hei didn't even know that such a beast-like idiot could have such rich facial expressions.

[What kind of treasure can a weak guy like you have? 】

[Be honest, otherwise I don’t mind letting you experience what power is]

Looking past Xiao Hei's thin body and the strange-looking stone stick on his back, the red lotus lion in the lead gave a warning and signaled him to return to the volcano.

Pretending to be obedient and returning to the interior of the volcano, Xiao Hei glanced unwillingly at the only exit guarded by those red lotus lions, feeling anxious in his heart.

With such a tight defense, I have no chance to tip off the news.

Damn, why is he so intelligent in this area...

Xiao Hei wandered back and forth in the cave impatiently, even meeting his "mother" face to face.

But the other party seems to no longer recognize him, or the red lotus lion has no concept of relatives.

The relationship between her and the two adult offspring that she bred by herself is more like a cooperative hunting relationship than a mother-child relationship, and there is no intimacy between them.

But this kind of thing doesn't matter anyway.

Near the volcano...it shouldn't be Ah Chou's village.

It's lucky in misfortune.

In the dark night, Xiao Hei looked at the night sky above his head uneasily, thinking to himself (preventing harmony).

……

Chapter 88 Hostage and Robber

In the burning village, Xiao Hei, whose body was stiff, was trembling and lowering his head.

There were screams from human beings in his ears, and striding past him from time to time, pulling out the hiding human beings from the ruins, stuffing the ferocious fellows in his mouth, making it feel like he was in hell.

Things... don't work this way.

【give you to eat】

Suddenly, there was a powerful slap on the back.

The machine turned around incomparably, and a red lotus lion, which had only met itself once, "kindly" stuffed half of the bloody corpse with only the lower body left into its palm.

【Wang is right...this is the best food】

【You are so thin, you should eat more】

"Yuck~"

The next moment, Xiao Hei, who couldn't bear it anymore, collapsed to the ground, throwing up while lying on the ground.

The red lotus lion on the side looked at it a little strangely, but was finally attracted by the aroma of human flesh and blood, and excitedly started hunting again.

……

He followed the big troops back to the volcano in a daze, while Xiao Hei huddled in a corner in a daze.

Even with its eyes closed, it could still hear the scream that seemed to linger in its ears all the time.

Even if it wasn't his fault, as a person who witnessed everything with his own eyes, as the chief culprit of the Red Lotus Lion Clan, is he really innocent?

Those palms, which were originally dark, now... seem to have been fished out of dried blood.

It stinks all over.

However, just when Xiao Hei thought the nightmare was over...

Less than a day later, the Red Lotus Lion King led his group and attacked a human village again.

But the third...the fourth...

As if completely addicted to human flesh and blood, the red lotus lion group attacked humans more and more frequently. In less than half a month, they directly broke through more than ten villages, including a medium-sized stronghold.

Finally, when attacking the No.14 village, the red lotus lion group encountered an ambush from the human side.

Two-thirds of the original group of nearly 80 red lotus lions were wiped out, and in the end there were only twenty or so left. Led by the blind red lotus lion king, they fled away in embarrassment.

It also included Xiao Hei who was just watching from the sidelines from the beginning to the end.

In addition, I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, the direction they fled...was the valley where it used to live.

In other words, A Chou's village is on the edge.

……

In the deep moonlight, taking advantage of the other clan members who were still in shock not paying attention, Xiao Hei secretly left the team and came outside the village he was very familiar with.

I don't know if it was fate, but it saw A Chou who seemed to be waiting for something on the big rock at the entrance of the village.

"roar~"

Hearing the familiar roar, the young man happily looked towards the forest on one side, and then walked in without hesitation.

"Xiao Hei, are you okay?"

Reunited after a long absence, the young man hugged the cautious little black heavily, and then smelled the strong smell of blood on his body.

The expression froze completely, and Ah Chou's expression flickered for a moment of struggle, but soon regained his original firmness.

"I believe in you, Xiao Hei..."

"You can't kill someone."

Looking at his friend who believed in him as always, Xiao Hei's back trembled, and then he hugged Ah Chou tightly.

"Anyway, you're fine..."

After a brief reminiscence, Ah Chou probably understood what he had experienced during this period of time through the words that Xiao Hei outlined with branches on the ground.

Although it is a bit shocking, Xiao Hei is indeed a freak among monsters...not only can he read, he can even write.

As Ah Chou said a long time ago, in terms of brains, he himself is not even as good as Xiao Hei.

"The footprints left by your ethnic group have actually been found by those [warrior] adults."

"A lord [Warrior] also came to the village. I heard that he was the deputy leader who was in charge of this hunt... It doesn't matter. I'll go and explain to that lord, and I will prove your innocence."

Ah Chou kept comforting Xiao Hei, trying to put on a confident smile.

However, a somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded from the forest.

【Innocent... I can't see it. 】

As the surrounding flames gradually lit up, a middle-aged man wearing armor and carrying a huge sword walked out from the side of the forest surrounded by countless villagers holding torches.

Looking at the red lotus lion looking at him together, the man's eyes quickly passed over the stone stick on the other's back, and he frowned and said:

"The red lotus lion carrying a strange stone stick... Many villages that were attacked have witnessed it."

"A guy who shows up at the scene every time, I'm afraid he is not innocent?"

Xiao Hei's body stiffened suddenly.

"Lord Milian..." Ah Chou turned around, biting his lower lip, and then looked at the other villagers as if asking for help, "Xiao Hei grew up in our village, everyone can prove this."

However, facing Ah Chou's hopeful eyes, the villagers just lowered their heads and said nothing.

"People are subject to change, not to mention monsters with ferocious nature..." A villager looked at Xiao Hei with a complicated expression, and lowered his head.

"After all, it is also a red lotus lion, who knows if it is an accomplice."

"Besides, if it is really innocent, why does it appear in the group of red lotus lions? It happens to be seen every time!"

The discussion became louder and louder, and soon, an inexplicable indignation completely covered up the original suspicion and hesitation, and gradually turned into some kind of hatred.

Even Ah Chou's parents looked at Xiao Hei suspiciously in that atmosphere.

"Okay, you heard it too."

"Get out of the way."

The man called Milian drew out the big sword behind him, and walked straight towards Xiao Hei who looked at the villagers in disbelief and even gave up resistance.

Looking at the red lotus lion in this posture, although Milian had a little faith in Ah Chou's statement, he finally chose to do it out of certain considerations.

He is a [Warrior], the strongest shield that guards mankind. If the suspicion of the red lotus lion cannot be completely cleared, killing it may be the safest solution.

Personal judgment cannot override the overall security of human beings.

Sorry... unknown strange guy.

Silently apologizing to Xiao Hei in his heart, Milian raised his sword high and was about to chop it down.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Ah Chou stuffed his head directly under Xiao Hei's huge palm.

"Take me hostage."

Ah Chou said softly to Xiao Hei who hadn't responded yet.

Xiao Hei grabbed Ah Chou's head subconsciously, and then realized that something was wrong.

"Don't come here, come here again... Xiao Hei will crush my head."

Even though he was a "hostage", Ah Chou yelled at the people surrounding him with an air of overreaching.

This scene, even the well-informed Milian was a little stunned.

"You can't kill someone, ugly..."

"But now, grown-ups won't believe anything they say."

Ah Chou threatened everyone with a "suicide threat" approach, and said to Xiao Hei without turning his head:

"So, let's slip first."

Three minutes later, looking at the red lotus lion "holding" Ah Chou and disappearing into the shadows of trees, Miriam rubbed Fa Rein's face and sighed deeply.

"What are these things called..."

……

Chapter 89 Metamorphosis and shocking transformation

"Even if the whole world abandons you, I still believe in you."

In the dark cave, helping Xiao Hei who was still in shock to light the oil lamp he carried with him, Ah Chou said firmly.

On that ugly face, a pair of eyes that seemed to be shining outwards made Xiao Hei stunned for a moment.

"Well, that being said... I may have to rely on you to help me get food during this time."

"The neighborhood here should be all of your kindred now. If they find out, I might be eaten."

Xiao Hei, who was covering the entrance of the cave with dry grass, froze for a moment when he heard this, and lowered his head emotionally.

It knew what A Chou said was right.

Those red lotus lions who have long been accustomed to eating people, if they see Ah Chou, they will eat him regardless...even if he is their friend.

The Red Lotus Lion Clan has no kinship, no... There may not even be such a thing as blood kinship.

Even the Red Lotus Lion King, at most, relied on his powerful strength to intimidate them, rather than suppressing their brutal nature that was no different from wild beasts, let alone Xiao Hei, a fellow who was not considered powerful in the first place.

Rather than letting Ah Chou take risks with him, it would be better for him to be alone.

At least in this way Ah Chou is safe.
