Gentle Beast

Chapter 9

Views:

The wind and snow were blocked outside the cave, and the temperature suddenly rose a bit, but Ji Xiaoou began to feel cold all over.

Ji Xiaoou's gaze dropped to the deerskin animal clothing on the opponent's body, and his heart shrank slightly.

After a closer look, the deerskin was shriveled and old, and it didn't look like it had just been peeled off, so I felt a little relieved.

It seems that Eric has not met him yet.

In the 21st century, Ji Xiaoou often saw the news that "humans were in danger in the forest and were eaten alive by brown bears". The pictures were cruel and bloody.

At that time, she thought she was far away from her, but she didn't expect it to be her turn so soon.

I don't know if brown bears evolve into orcs, do they have likes and dislikes? Can you judge right from wrong

Would it be too late for her to lie down and play dead now

Ji Xiaoou fixed his eyes on the brown bear orc, took half a step back unobtrusively, and quickly analyzed the situation.

The only exit was blocked by the other party. She only had a Swiss Army knife in her hand. Although there was a leopard behind her, she was underage. If the opponent wants to attack them, the two of them together have no chance of winning at all.

Realizing this cruel reality, Ji Xiaoou's heart became even heavier.

"That..." Ji Xiaoou tried to talk to the other party, but just opened his mouth when he bent his huge body and walked into the tree hole like no one else.

Ji Xiaoou quickly backed away, his whole body sticking to the tree trunk behind him, making way for him.

The trunk of this tree is thick and nearly a hundred years old, and the space inside the tree hole is relatively wide, which is more than enough to accommodate Ji Xiaoou, Eric and a little leopard just now.

Now that the bear walked into the tree hole, the inside suddenly became much narrower.

The brown bear orc almost occupied most of the tree hole, and when he sat down, Ji Xiaoou and Ren were pushed to the corner.

Ji Xiaoou remembered Eric's words, the tree hole was desolate, the temperature was very low when they first came in, and it looked like no living things lived there.

Look at this brown bear orc again, leaning half sideways, with his back against a tree trunk, as if he is not very familiar with this place.

A glimmer of hope rose in Ji Xiaoou's heart, since this is not his territory, maybe they can have a good communication

Ji Xiaoou was contemplating how to speak, so he commanded in a deep and deep voice, "Get out."

Ji Xiaoou: "..."

Although she knows that bears are solitary animals, especially when hibernating, she doesn't want anyone to disturb her.

But they found this place first, can he make some sense

Ji Xiaoou took a deep breath, tried to soften his tone, and discussed: "It's snowing heavily outside, and there doesn't seem to be any other hiding places around here. If you don't mind, we can stay here together temporarily. When the snow is a little lighter..."

The brown bear looked at Ji Xiaoou with its pitch-black eyes. It was unknown whether the bear was born like this or he was dissatisfied with Ji Xiaoou's words, but there was no expression on his face anyway.

"My friend went out to find firewood and will be back soon. We will be warmer when we have a fire. You, do you need to keep warm..."

Before Ji Xiaoou finished speaking, the brown bear orc let out an impatient growl, showing two rows of sharp teeth, "Get out."

Ji Xiaoou's arm around the little leopard trembled, and his other hand tightly grasped the backpack. Although he was very scared, he still didn't listen to him.

Now the wind and snow are filling the air outside, and it is impossible to walk at all. Going out at this time is no different from sending you to death.

She bit her lower lip tightly, seeing that the other party didn't seem to intend to eat her, she bit the bullet and asked: "My friend is still outside, can we wait until he leaves later? He will be back soon."

Before the other party had a chance to refuse, she quickly put the knitted blanket on her body in front of him, "Are you cold? Give this to you, it's very warm to cover your body." She tried her best to restrain her emotions, but said in the end When he said a word, his voice was still a little trembling.

This time the brown bear didn't speak, and looked up and down the blanket.

Seeing something interesting, Ji Xiaoou took out another box of Dove chocolates from his backpack, "Do you eat this? It's very high in calories, you won't be hungry after eating it."

The brown bear orc still looked at her and didn't answer.

Ji Xiaoou continued his efforts and took out other things one after another, trying to please the other party.

When he got the milk and beef jerky, his wrist was suddenly held down by a small animal claw.

Ji Xiaoou lowered his head and saw the little leopard staring at him.

Ji Xiaoou was slightly stunned, and soon realized that it was trying to stop it.

... Is it protecting food

Ji Xiaoou had no choice but to put the milk and beef jerky back, groped for a long time, and touched a glass jar with his fingertips.

She was overjoyed, and immediately took the thing out of the space, and carefully pushed it to the brown bear orc, "Do you... like honey?"

The brown bear orc looked at the glass jar. The jar was full of crystal clear honey, the color was attractive, and the sweet smell inside could be smelled before it was opened.

This time the orc didn't refuse, and took the honey into his range with the thick bear's paw.

Seeing that he accepted it, Ji Xiaoou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Put the things I took out just now back into the "backpack", and sat back in the corner silently, thanking the classmate who brought honey very much.

The brown bear orc didn't mention letting them go out any more. He opened the honey pot with his inflexible palm, dipped his index finger in a ball of honey, and stuffed it into his mouth to taste.

After eating a whole jar in a while, I covered the honey jar and put it in my arms, and went to sleep.

Since the female wants to stay, let her stay.

I don't know when this snow will fall. Although he has just filled his stomach, he will still be hungry after a long time.

Leaving her just to store food.

The snow outside did not stop, and some cold wind poured in from time to time.

Eric went out for a full two hours and never came back.

Ji Xiaoou became more and more worried, afraid that something might happen to him. However, at this time she had no way to go out, the entrance of the cave was blocked by the blizzard, and the snow covered her knees. Even if she went out, she would not be able to walk in the snow without the strong limbs of animals.

The hands on the watch passed by little by little, and when it was six o'clock, it was completely dark, and Eric still didn't come back.

Ji Xiaoou fed the little leopard something to eat, but he didn't have any appetite, so he didn't eat anything.

There was no fire in the tree hole, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly. Ji Xiaoou had no choice but to turn on the flashlight, and the light beam was aimed at the brown bear lying quietly on the opposite side, so that he could see its outline clearly.

The brown bear orc seemed to be asleep, its huge body lying on the ground, towering high like a mountain.

He has been sleeping since he ate the honey, is he going to hibernate

Ji Xiaoou didn't dare to sleep, for fear that the brown bear orc on the opposite side would suddenly wake up, which would be bad for him and the little leopard; he was also afraid of what might happen outside, so he just got into his sleeping bag and kept vigilant all the time.

However, after she came to this continent, she had developed the habit of going to bed early.

After staying for less than two hours, the upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and the head was bit by bit, and I was so sleepy.

Ji Xiaoou pinched her own tiger's jaw hard, forcing herself to cheer up, but unfortunately it didn't work. Soon, her eyes slowly closed and she fell into a deep sleep.

In the early hours of the morning, the tree hole was quiet, and the wind and snow outside eased slightly.

In the darkness, the brown bear orc slowly sat up, looked at the girl in the corner with dark eyes, and walked towards her.

Ji Xiaoou lay on the ground with his backpack in his arms, curled up into a ball.

Even though there was a blanket on the ground and a sleeping bag wrapped outside, it still couldn't resist the chill.

The brown bear orc stopped in front of the girl, stretched out his hand, his broad paws showed sharp nails, and poked towards the girl—

Without warning, the leopard in the girl's arms suddenly opened his eyes, his deep pupils gleamed coldly, staring straight at him.

Leopards have precise vision and can see clearly in the dark.

Ren looked at the bear in front of him who was many times bigger than him, his eyes were fierce, and he did not flinch, hiding a hint of warning.

The brown bear orc's hand stopped, and after a while, he slowly retreated back to his territory.

Early the next morning, the blizzard was much smaller than yesterday.

Ji Xiaoou got his head out of the sleeping bag, looked around, and after a while, he realized where it was.

The opposite side was empty, the hibernating brown bear orc had disappeared, and Eric still hadn't returned.

The little leopard was lying on her pillow, eyes closed, still sleeping.

Ji Xiaoou sat up gently, and subconsciously groped to the side, ready to take her MCM backpack.

This is a habit she has formed since she came here. That small backpack seems to have become her attachment. Whenever she wakes up, the first thing she does is to find her backpack.

However, at this time, she found nothing.

Ji Xiaoou was startled, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

She searched the tree hole inside and out, but still didn't see the backpack.

But her compass, flashlight, and mobile phone are all in the backpack.
