The whole Milu Village was filled with cooking smoke, and the smoke swirled upwards, and finally merged into a wisp of light smoke, which dissipated.
The night in the distance draws closer little by little, like a beam of black "spotlight", the beam of light sweeps from far to near, wherever it goes, the sky turns black, and the bright sky is suddenly divided into two worlds of black and white.
The night came quietly behind Eric, and soon passed over his head, engulfing him in darkness instantly.
Fortunately, the bonfire in the yard was still on, illuminating everything in front of him.
Eric's body was stiff, and he stared at the big leopard in front of him for half a minute before his legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.
Although Eric is the strongest warrior in the race, he is still not worth mentioning in front of the ferocious leopard clan.
He usually only leads the race to resist the attacks of some weak carnivorous species, such as foxes, weasels, etc., and has never dared to compete with big cats like the leopard family.
For one thing, their running speed is not as fast as that of the leopards.
Secondly, the ferocity of the leopard clan is even stronger than those two.
More importantly, the main source of food for the Leopard Clan is their Deer Clan.
Many of Eric's companions were killed by the Leopard Clan. It is conceivable how frightened he felt when he saw a leopard at the moment, and it was a leopard with an unusual size.
Eric held on to the door frame, and his first instinct was to run away.
He turned and rushed out of the room quickly. The antlers on Naihe's head were too huge, and hit the door frame with a "bang", causing the whole wooden house to shake.
Meanwhile, his antlers got stuck between the cracks in the door frame.
Eric twisted his body, looking into the house as he struggled.
Ren lay prone on the bed, especially dissatisfied with the tremendous noise he made, and bared his teeth aggressively.
The girl next to her was startled by the sound, and frowned uncomfortably.
Because of being too exhausted, Ji Xiaoou didn't wake up, turned over, raised his hand, rubbed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Ren raised a beast paw, the thick paw was almost bigger than the girl's cheek, and placed it next to the girl's ear, completely covering her small and delicate facial features.
"Be quiet for me." A heavy and displeased voice sounded, echoing in the small wooden house. Then, slowly, unceremoniously threatened: "If you keep arguing, I will eat you."
Eric held his breath for an instant and swallowed nervously, not daring to make any more movements.
Even the action of plucking the antlers is much lighter.
With great difficulty, he pulled out the antlers from the crack in the door, and when he turned around, he saw the cheetah on the bed raised its paws, hanging above the girl's head.
The cheetah had deep pupils and an unpredictable expression, he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Under the light of the fire, the nails hidden under the claws of the beast emitted a sharp and cold light. He moved his fingertips slightly, as if he could pierce the girl's fragile temple in the next moment.
Eric was horrified, and his face instantly turned pale.
At this time, he didn't care about his situation, he called out "no", and frantically stabilized his body.
"Don't... don't treat Ou like this." He tried his best to calm down, trying to figure out his own words.
In such a scene, no one would think that Ren wanted to harm Ji Xiaoou.
To be honest, Eric was a little puzzled.
Judging by the color of the leopard's stripes, it should be the little leopard that Ji Xiaoou often brings with him. Not to mention how he quickly turned from infancy to adulthood, has the current leopard family know how to pretend to be weak and deceive females' sympathy? !
Isn't this something only wolves would do
Eric didn't know what his purpose of following Ji Xiaoou was.
But no matter how you think about it, there is no good purpose for a carnivorous species to follow a herbivorous female.
Eric decided to rescue Ji Xiaoou from under the giant leopard.
"Ou, Ou has always regarded you as a friend...she is very friendly to you." Eric boldly took a few steps forward, and slowly approached the bedside, his voice trembled due to suppressing his fear too much.
Ren raised his eyelids and looked at him indifferently, unwilling to pay attention to him.
Of course she was very kind to him. She once said to herself in front of him that she also had a kitten at home, and she treated him just like that cat.
"Last time, to save you, Ou boarded a wolf ship full of wolf orcs alone. You should be grateful to her... If there is no Ou, you may not be able to come back safely." Eric met Ren's calm eyes , Instantly timid, his voice became much quieter. "So you... can't hurt Ou..."
Help, he dared to negotiate terms with a leopard clan, he felt that he might die here in the next step.
However, after waiting for a long time, he did not get the expected anger.
He slowly looked at the big leopard, and saw it lowered its head, staring at the sleeping girl curled up under it.
The leopard's eyes are blue and deep, as if an ocean is hidden.
She got on the wolf boat to save him
Before this, Ryan had always thought that she had only boarded the boat to get his backpack.
Speaking of the backpack, the furrow between Ren's brows was even deeper.
Where did she put him just now
In that blank "space", he saw some things she had used, her backpack, and the milk and beef jerky she often fed him.
More, items that he had never seen before.
Is this the place where she usually "takes things out of thin air"
What is this completely blank field called
Does such a place exist in the Bornia continent
The time in that "space" seems to be static, but also seems to flow very fast.
Ren's body became heavier and heavier inside, and his mental state became more and more exhausted. The last scene he remembered was lying on the ground and closing his eyes.
When he woke up again, he appeared on this bed board in this way and in this form.
Ryan tried his best to change back to his normal form before, but he didn't expect to change back after just sleeping.
What is the opportunity
Ryan couldn't understand.
He used to think that the key to transforming back to the original form was in the hands of the wolves, but at present, it seems that it is not.
His nails lightly touched the girl's clean face, gradually went up, and then stopped, stopping on her head.
The posture is motionless, thoughtful.
This action seemed very dangerous to Eric, as if in the next second, this beast would lift Ji Xiaoou's celestial cover, looking for a suitable way to tear her apart and eat her.
Can't let him hurt Ou.
Thinking of this, Eric tightened his antlers secretly, exerted the greatest courage in his life, and took advantage of the cheetah's unpreparedness, bent down, lowered his head, and slammed into his abdomen.
Ren habitually raised his neck and slid back two inches.
When he stared intently, the reindeer quickly took away the sleeping girl in his arms and ran towards the door of the room.
Ren's eyes sank, and he unconsciously flashed a sullen look. He twitched his tail, stretched it forward, and flexibly wrapped around Eric's calf.
He didn't have to move a finger to see Eric unsteady, leaning forward—
One deer and one person rushed to the ground one after another.
"Well… "
Ji Xiaoou woke up from the pain.
The back of her head hit the hard board, and her whole head was a little numb.
At the same time, another heavy object was placed in front of her, which made her unable to breathe.
Ji Xiaoou tightened his eyebrows, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Eric's enlarged antlers, and then went down to meet his black and clear eyes.
"Eric?" Ji Xiaoou was in a daze, unable to figure out what was going on for a while, she looked around, and this was still the room she used to sleep in, but... why was she on the ground? And why is Eric here
Ji Xiaoou raised his arm and rubbed his temples, thinking that he was drowsy.
Eric supported the floor with one hand, looked at the puzzled expression of the girl under him, a blush suddenly appeared on his cheeks, he jumped up from the ground quickly, stood up straight, coughed twice, and explained in a panic: "Ou, You, you woke up... I knocked on the door before I came in just now, I made dinner, but you didn't respond, I was worried about something happened to you, so I came in to have a look, I hope you don't blame me. "
Nervous and flustered, Eric spoke incoherently.
Ji Xiaoou nodded knowingly, then shook his head again, "It's okay... I just haven't slept well for a long time, I slept too deeply..."
In his sleep, Ji Xiaoou had a very strange dream.
She dreamed that she was crushed under a huge furry doll, and the doll's tail was wrapped around her legs, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't shake it off.
The big doll is fluffy, covering her whole body, which is very warm.
She subconsciously leaned towards it to absorb the warmth, but subconsciously felt that it was dangerous and wanted to escape, and her whole body fell into conflict.
Before Ji Xiaoou could finish speaking, Eric grabbed her wrist with a serious expression and led her outside, "Ou, follow me out of here."
Ji Xiaoou was not fully awake yet, so he blinked and took two steps, "...why?"
Eric said while looking back: "It's dangerous here, that leopard..."
Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.
I saw that the majestic and huge beast-shaped cheetah just now suddenly changed back to its juvenile appearance at some point.
Shrunken in size, only as big as a normal kitten.
More than half of the surrounding bed boards have sunk, which is the mark of his body just now.
At this moment, the little leopard was standing in the center of the sunken bed, raised its front paws, and stared solemnly.
The bandage that was originally wrapped around its hind leg was torn into pieces due to its enlarged size, and scattered on the ground.
Eric: "…"
