hunt and eat

Chapter 704 Family and Relatives

In a volcanic area full of hot magma, a tall monster with a long stone stick on its back is constantly climbing up along the path flowing with hot magma.

It was Xiao Hei who was raised by humans since he was a child.

In front of it, a monster that was more than a circle in size and similar to it walked slowly as if leading the way, and looked back from time to time.

It seemed to be confirming that Xiao Hei had escaped.

Are you so worried about me running away?
Xiao Hei frowned, thinking silently in his heart.

Then he unconsciously grasped the weapon that Ah Chou made for himself on his back.

About half a month ago, in order to find raw materials for making weapons, it deliberately came to a volcano hundreds of kilometers away to collect them.

Who would have thought that they would inexplicably meet this fellow on the way back.

Red lotus lion, this is the name Xiao Hei found for his race from a monster atlas before he left the village.

It's ridiculous to say that even though the guy in front of him is his own race, Xiao Hei doesn't have any sense of belonging.

In its heart, its only family and friend is Ah Chou who is a human being.

I thought that after that chance encounter, I would never deal with these same people again, but who knew that only a week later, this guy found himself again.

And it definitely found itself with a purpose... The valley it lives in is hundreds of kilometers away from the volcano, and there is even a river in the middle.

Under such circumstances, it cannot be a coincidence that the other party can find him in such a short period of time.

[The king is looking for me... what's the matter? 】

Xiao Hei tentatively yelled at the fellow who didn't even have a name.

[Everyone, return to the ancestral land... this is the order of the king]

Hearing this stereotyped answer again, Xiao Hei's face was full of disappointment and irritability.

This is also the only two or two sentences the other party has responded to him in the past few days.

By the way, the other sentence is 【keep up】.

To be honest, if Ah Chou and his village were not near the valley where they lived, and they were worried about causing trouble to A Chou, they wouldn't have followed this inexplicable guy here if they were killed.

Xiao Hei, who has been influenced by human society since he was a child, can't understand it at all, and he doesn't want to understand the simple brain circuit of the red lotus lion that is no different from a beast.

After another day's journey, Xiao Hei finally saw the "King" that the same family said in an exceptionally empty volcano.

It was a red lotus lion lying on the highest rock plate, much larger than himself, with huge curved horns.

With that exaggerated arm, I am afraid that he can kill himself with a single punch.

Really simple and direct raw violence.

Sweeping around cautiously, looking at the red lotus lions that can be said to be everywhere in the field of vision, roughly estimated to be around seventy or eighty, Xiao Hei seemed to realize something, and began to search seriously for the first time.

Finally, after a few minutes, in a corner, it saw a somewhat familiar figure.

It was a medium-sized half-aged female red lotus lion, and beside her were two young red lotus lions who seemed to be offspring.

"Did several of them die in the end?"

"No... Maybe it's just another abandonment."

"After all, it's just a beast."

Looking back with complicated eyes, Xiao Hei found a corner and squatted down, waiting silently.

[Recently, I discovered a particularly delicious food]

Xiao Hei, who was wandering in the sky, was brought back to reality by a ridiculously loud voice.

On the high platform, the king of the red lotus lion clan was roaring continuously.

[They are very weak, but occasionally there will be stronger ones, and more importantly... they like to stay together, and there are a lot of them]

[Even as powerful as us, we need to take the risk of injury to hunt successfully]

[However, as long as you try it once, you will understand...]

【Everything is worth it】

Hearing Honglian Lion King's intermittent and indistinct words, Xiao Hei's heart skipped a beat.

The food in the other party's mouth, could it be...

【It just so happens that there is a gathering place for them nearby】

【Food... a lot of food, waiting for us to enjoy】

【After three dark nights, we together...】

【A full meal】

Amidst the roars of countless excited beasts, Xiao Hei, who was hiding in the shadow of the corner, had a face covered with haze visible to the naked eye, and his two rough primate palms were clenched tightly, as if they were about to bleed.

……

After the meeting, Xiao Hei, who was full of worries, prepared to rush to his place of residence against the herd.

It is impossible for it to watch this group of fellow races attack the human stronghold, so the only thing to do now is to inform Ah Chou and ask him to notify those powerful adults.

Although it is not proud of being a red lotus lion, it deeply understands how terrifying the fighting power of its own family is.

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 impatiently in the cave, and even met 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).
