Early the next morning, all the people gathered in the square in front of the altar. The patriarch Sata and the top leaders of other tribes made sacrifices in front of the statue of the beast god. Afterwards, the males who decided to participate in the hunting day took their partners and took a step forward with firm expressions.
The females all put on leather clothes to protect themselves from harm as much as possible during the subsequent hunting. The outfits of the males are nothing special, probably because they have enough sharp weapons after becoming beasts, but the females have sharp knives attached to their waists—in order for them to protect themselves, they also serve as tools for survival in the wild use.
They need to go to the front of several leaders and find bamboo pieces in a wooden barrel, on which are written the prey they need to bring back. All are no exception.
Tan Tu took Su Ce's hand, and the two stood side by side in the middle of the line - because they didn't arrive early, so they weren't ranked high. Tantu had asked many acquaintances for help before the sacrifice, so the next thing to do was to get the mission objective first.
Su Ce looked around and roughly estimated that there were about seven or eight hundred people who participated in the hunting day activities today, and there were only about one or two hundred people with females, which may only account for one-third of all female and male family partners. one or so. Is it because there are cubs to take care of or something else
But he did see Reigns and Kamel... It seems that Kamel was still moved by Reigns' courtship after all.
Generally speaking, as long as you agree to be the partner of the male, and after a few days of suffering together, if the male's performance is not too bad, basically there will be no problem.
Kamel seemed a bit embarrassed, and it seemed that he was not used to standing in the crowd and being looked at by others—no way, who made the person next to him so popular? Even more and more eyes gathered on him. At this time, he met Su Ce's gaze, nodded and smiled slightly, and seemed to have recovered a little.
Reigns greeted the other females naturally, and then whispered into Kamel's ear, seemingly caring and protecting him.
Su Ce looked away, just in time to see another acquaintance walking in front of Sata to pick up the bamboo slices. That tall, white, imposing long-haired man is none other than Arsen from the Snake Clan. He didn't seem to have other females with him, but was alone, and after getting the bamboo slices, he didn't greet anyone, and walked directly to the outside of the tribe.
Tan Tu noticed his partner's gaze, lowered his head and said, "Alsen doesn't have anyone he likes yet. But I told him about your brother, please help him find him if he finishes."
... Where is the connection between these two sentences? It would be misleading to say that directly.
Of course, Su Ce understood very well that Tan Tu was just explaining two different things to him.
Although Arsen is taciturn, he should be a very committed person. Since he agreed to Tantu's request, and with his strength, he will probably be able to solve the problem of prey soon... In this case, he must be able to look at a few more places yes.
Because of Tantu's misunderstanding before and the occasional meeting later, Su Ce knew this man somewhat, especially because he was a rare male scale insect among the beast-like orcs, and his personality and appearance were similar to those in the tribe. Common is not the same. Well, it seems that you are always alone? Hearing from Tantu that the other party has never pursued any females, I really don't know what this male's future partner will be like...
The team soon shortened, and it was time for Tantu to extract bamboo pieces.
Tan Tu grabbed Su Ce's wrist and pressed it into the barrel: "A Ce, come and touch it!"
He entrusted his goal to Su Ce.
Su Ce didn't bother with him about this, so he took out a piece naturally and looked up.
There are four words written on it—
"Deep water giant crocodile."
Tan Tu frowned for a moment.
Su Ce handed the bamboo piece to Tantu, feeling a little worried.
… Is it a difficult creature
If it is interpreted literally, if it is deep water and a huge amount, it should be some kind of amphibian reptile that lives in water? And maybe the skin will be thick...
Of course, Tan Tu also noticed the change in Su Ce's expression, resisted the desire to rub his chin on the top of his head, and said in a low voice, "A Ce, I will protect you."
When he said this, Su Ce became even more worried about the danger of the so-called "deep-water giant crocodile"...
He didn't say it, though, because his name was being called among the crowd who weren't part of the hunting day. He turned his head and saw Mora and the twins.
These friends cheered them on. Su Ce waved to them, and then walked out of the tribe with Tantu.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if there is any danger... Anyway, he is with Tantu.
As long as two people are together, even if they encounter some very bad situations, it is not bad to be able to live and die together. The peaceful and happy life these days has made him very satisfied... almost the best period of his life.
The two walked out of the tribe hand in hand, while there were many other males and females, each discussing something, while the single males quickly scattered around.
Tan Tu raised his hand and looked into the distance, squatted down and said to Su Ce, "Ah Ce, shall I carry you?" He thought for a while, and then said, "Otherwise, I can carry you."
... Well, this damn physique is destined to prevent him from keeping pace with Tantu.
Su Ce recalled the scene when he was hugged by Tantu... He decisively chose to be "carried away".
Just kidding, as a man on earth, it's okay if two people are together alone, but if it's in public, even if everyone thinks it's normal, he absolutely can't bear the "princess hug". It was his only remaining self-esteem.
Tantu always respected Su Ce's opinion very much. When Su Ce decided that he wanted to "ride" him out, he immediately let out an "ow" and stretched his body to become a huge lion.
Standing majestically in front of him.
That circle of mane was brilliant like fragments of sunlight, and like pure gold, it shone brightly in everyone's eyes.
Su Ce missed the lion a little bit.
Since he came to this world, the first thing he saw was this lion.
And when he was walking in the forest with fear and hesitation, he was always accompanied by this lion... even though it was actually Tantu.
But the shape of a lion still makes him very familiar.
Unfortunately, after coming to the tribe, he rarely saw it.
Tan Tu met Su Ce's admiring gaze, and he walked over cheerfully, rubbed his huge furry lion head against his side, then stuck out his tongue and licked Su Ce's face, and then licked Su Ce again. Ce's lips.
Well, it tastes good...
Su Ce laughed dumbfounded.
This guy Tantu seems to be more "instinctive" after becoming a beast...
But very cute.
So he hugged the lion's head and said softly, "Tantu, let's go."
After a period of training, Su Ce's movements are much more agile than that of the office worker in the past. No, he can easily climb onto Tantu's back, not like when the two of them first met. , Tantu had to carefully lift it up... It's worth celebrating.
Sitting firmly on Tantu's back, Su Ce carefully grabbed the mane on Tantu's body, and wrapped it around his wrist several times with a thick fist. And because there is no saddle, the requirements for leg strength are also very high - he must clamp Tantu's back very hard and bend his body as much as possible, so as to barely ensure that he will not be caught by the galloping Tantu later. throw out.
Even though Tantu would be very careful even in this way, he didn't want to become Tantu's burden at all.
Even if you still need protection at certain times, you have to do things that don't cause too much trouble to your partner... This kind of personality is born, but it may be very unlovable and unflattering in the eyes of some people.
But this is his insistence.
Fortunately, Tantu didn't dislike him at all.
After Su Ce was done, Tan Tu let out a low growl. Su Ce surprisingly felt that he understood, maybe he was saying, "Ah Ce, are you ready?"
Su Ce grabbed Tantu tightly, buried himself in his long hair, and said, "Okay, Tantu."
Then, this huge golden lion rushed out like a sharp arrow off the string!
The strong wind whistled in his ears, and the speed was so fast that Su Ce felt it was difficult to breathe. He had no choice but to get closer and closer to Tantu, and let himself find a little breathing room in the warm long hair.
He cannot speak, the wind will pour into his mouth. He couldn't move around, because he already felt the bumps. He couldn't relax even the slightest bit, because...he couldn't let Tantu worry about him.
Su Ce gradually went from being full of thoughts to fully concentrating, and he could feel the fire-like heat flowing through his blood vessels—he and Tantu seemed to be one in this kind of running.
