Jera felt dizzy in her head, and the scene in front of her eyes was blurry, as if there were double images. It shook its head, and it took a long time before its eyes refocused: "What... happened? Where am I...?"
Suddenly, it woke up and almost jumped up: "Claire!"
"Hey, rude brat, you should call me Auntie Claire." The thick grass was parted in the middle, and a golden lion with a fish in its mouth came out.
Jela looked at the fish that was still struggling in Claire's mouth in confusion, and several big question marks popped up on her forehead: "When did lions also eat fish?" They say cats love to eat fish, and lions are also considered big cats. Okay, but can the habits of big cats be the same as those of cats
Claire threw the fish to the ground with a shake of her head, then raised her two front paws, and transformed into a woman wearing animal skin clothing in Jela's surprised eyes. After transforming into a human form, Claire is an extremely wild beauty, with toned bronze skin, and she looks like a sports girl. She shook her arms, moved with the boldness of a man, and began to handle the fish skillfully.
During this process, Jela had been watching her in surprise. Although he had already guessed in his mind, this was the first time he saw a lion other than Pascal turn into a human form.
"Are you surprised? In fact, we didn't hide it from you, but you just didn't notice it yourself." Claire squinted her eyes and looked at Jera: "In other words, in fact, you have never thought about taking the initiative to get to know us. Right, Jera? I can see that you are curious about us, but you did not follow your curiosity to explore. In fact, you don’t want to get too involved with us, right? "
"I..." Jela lowered his head. Not to mention how he gets along with Pascal, the lionesses in the group are very good to him. Speaking of which, he is indeed a bit of a white-eyed wolf. It lowered its head, like a child who had done something wrong: "I'm sorry, Aunt Claire..."
"Haha, it's not easy to finally deceive you into calling me aunt!" Claire let out a hearty laugh: "I was teasing you just now. Jera, just do it according to your own wishes. I don't I know what scruples you have, but you are a good boy. I believe you will not turn around and deal with us one day. In this case, why should I embarrass a good boy? Jela, I will wait for you to integrate into us-us We are all looking forward to this day.”
These words made Jela feel a little heavy in her heart. The lionesses of Pascal's pride were all unexpectedly friendly. It was undeniable that the warmth they gave it made it attached to it, but this did not make it forget that one day it would become a male. Pascal the Lion's Belly Food Facts. As long as it thinks about this, it will not be able to completely integrate into the lion group and become a member of the lion group. It is afraid that it will be attached to this warmth, and it is afraid that one day, even if it knows that Pascal wants to eat it, it will not be willing to leave.
'Why is there such a ferocious lion like Pascal with such a kind pride? '
Jela felt sorry for the members of the lion pride in her heart. Pascal, who was fighting with the black panther in the distance, felt a deep malice and shuddered.
Claire and Jela built a fire and grilled the fish on it. However, for two hungry lions, a small fish is not enough to fill their teeth - even though one of them is just a little lion.
Jela touched his flat belly. Ever since he lived with the lions of the Pascal pride, his appetite had increased. If it were in the past, it would not be full after eating half a fish, but it would never feel hungry. This is all because the food standards of the Pascal pride are so good (╯□╰).
"Claire, let's go hunting. I can help."
Claire shook her head: "Do you think I haven't tried it? Before you woke up, I tried to catch some prey. Then, I met the residents living here. They called themselves orcs. Like us, they are also able to transform between human and beast forms, but they do not seem to differentiate between females and males. For them, the female responsible for reproduction is the sub-orc who cannot transform."
Speaking of this, Claire looked a little weird: "Oh, although in my opinion, those sub-orcs are the same as males in appearance. Moreover, I have no way to use the power of elements here - I don't know what the world is like in this land. There is something, but the elemental power in my body is blocked."
I originally thought I was just traveling through time as a wild beast and living in nature, but then I found an adopter who could transform into a human. Then I met a black panther with superpowers who was said to be the city lord's dogleg. What do I encounter now? What kind of orc sub-beast, Jela really thought, isn't it really sleepwalking
A sound of protest from the stomach woke Jera up from her thoughts. Well, no matter what, let's solve the problem of eating first. It looked at Claire: "Those...orcs, don't they allow us to hunt here?" ?”
"Yes, in their view, the prey in the territory they occupy belongs to them, and outsiders are not allowed to hunt here. And... after knowing that we are outsiders, their attitude towards us is very unpleasant. Friendly." At this point, Claire seemed very irritable. Apparently, she had suffered a loss at the hands of the indigenous people, and a look of depression appeared on her bright cheeks.
"How about we go look for them again. Maybe there is some misunderstanding here." Jela thought for a while. Now they are alone, and Claire has lost her advantage in elemental energy. , they definitely can't defeat the indigenous residents, so they might as well try to reconcile with the indigenous residents.
Closely speaking, if they want to hunt within other people's territory, it is better to get permission from others. Of course, poaching is not impossible, but no one wants to hunt in the middle of hunting or eating in the middle of a meal. He was driven away in embarrassment. From afar, if they want to get out from here and return to their original place, they need local residents to show them the way.
Claire curled her lips: "I don't think they will change their mind. In my opinion, their malice comes out of nowhere."
"But you have to try, right?" Jela advised her: "Maybe they are just xenophobic. Well, dear Aunt Claire, you know what choice is best for us."
Jela turned into a child and went with Claire to find the indigenous people living here. His human form looked a little bigger than before, but he was still small, and his delicate face matched it well. The moving ears and tail look very cute.
With their keen sense of smell, Jela and Claire quickly found the location of the orcs.
The young patriarch, who was about to get angry, saw Jera in Claire's arms, and his ferocious expression froze instantly. It looked as if the pause button had been pressed. It was very funny: "A...a beast?"
Claire was obviously shocked. She was moving at high speed and almost hit the tree in front of her. Fortunately, she stopped and said, "Huh?"
The patriarch's eyes were fixed on Jera in Claire's arms. He softened his facial expression and tried to make himself look more kind and approachable: "Hey, hello, little beast."
For a moment, Claire felt tens of thousands of idiots passing by. What does differential treatment mean? This is it! The last time she came over, these big and thick males were shouting and killing each other, but when Jela came, they all restrained their evil spirits, as if they were afraid of scaring the little guys.
Claire lowered her head helplessly: "Little guy, it seems that you have more face."
"Wait..." Jera obviously understood what misunderstanding occurred between them, or that the orcs unilaterally mistook him for a female who could give birth to cubs. This was not good news.
"You'd better let them misunderstand first, unless you want to see us thrown out together by them." Claire pinched Jela and whispered.
The scene of Claire twisting Jela was witnessed by the majority of the orc people. Some young orcs could hardly help but rushed out and surrounded Claire. The patriarch even looked at Claire with an evil look: "You actually Do you have the shame as an orc to abuse a young, underage sub-orc like this?"
He said this because he happened to meet Claire who transformed into a beast last time. In his mind, being able to transform into a beast=an orc, although Claire, the orc, looks a little strange. However, he never thought that this orc was not only strange in appearance, but also psychologically abnormal. She would actually bully a sub-beast in front of them! Even if she was the father of this underage little sub-beast. !
Don’t you know that the birth rate of orcs and sub-animals has been declining year after year? Don’t you know that the ratio between orcs and sub-orcs is extremely unbalanced? Don’t you know there are still many orcs who can’t find a mate
Claire rolled her eyes, okay, now Jela is a treasure and she is just a piece of grass.
The patriarch seemed to want to snatch Jela from Claire's arms, but he was afraid of hurting Jela, so he was restrained for a while. When Jela saw someone coming to catch her, she subconsciously buried herself in Claire's arms. Claire patted Jela's back with one hand, held Jela tightly with the other hand, and said to the patriarch in front of her: "If you don't mind, can we talk?"
"Leave this sub-beast behind and leave it to us to take care of, otherwise there's no need to talk." The patriarch had a very bad impression of Claire, so his tone was very stiff when he spoke.
"This is my child, how could I give it to you?" Claire frowned.
The patriarch glanced at Claire and showed a rare mercy: "If you want, you can stay with this little beast."
"...You haven't asked me what exactly I want to talk to you about." Claire was also very annoyed by the other party's patronizing tone, and was she so cheap and annoying
"So, you can now say whatever you want to talk about."
…
After some bargaining, the clan leader finally agreed to let Claire and Jela hunt here. Of course, according to Jela's status as an 'underage sub-beast', no one would let it hunt. As for Claire... I'm sorry, I have to rely on myself. As for Claire's last request, asking the clan leader to show them the way back, the clan leader did not agree immediately.
Moreover, Claire noticed that when she mentioned 'outside', the patriarch's handsome face suddenly darkened.
