Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 188: Living with Wolves
The tree hole is only the size of a fist.

As soon as Xia He entered the cave, the gray wolf stretched out its claws and dug deep into the cave.

"Ouch~~"

"Oh, just scream. Even if you scream until your throat hurts today, I won't leave!"

Xia He curled up in a ball in the corner of the tree hole and replied with a sneer.

however……

Two hours later.

"No, you are sick, can you please go away?"

Looking at the wolf claws that were still digging into the hole from time to time, Xia He finally couldn't help but burst into cursing.

"Am I the only prey around here?"

"Can you go catch some rabbits or pheasants or something?"

"Brother Wolf, I call you Brother Wolf now, please go. I will repay you handsomely someday for not killing you today!"

Although he knew that the wolf could not understand human language, Xia He still negotiated terms with it.

Otherwise, what else can be done?
Will this stalemate continue?

As for sleeping in it, that's even more impossible.

What if I fall asleep and it comes back and brings its wolf companion with it?
Then there would be even less hope of survival.

"It would be fine if it was a lone wolf..."

He prayed inwardly.

Finally, after about an hour and a half, there was no movement outside the tree.

"have they gone?"

Xia He muttered.

Then he waited for a while, then he carefully stuck his head out, staring with his big eyes, and checked the situation outside in the dark.

a long time.

The bones in the body made a "cracking" sound.

Xia He crawled out of the tree hole and immediately returned to his original state.

But before he could slip away, there was another noise from the bushes not far away.

"Oops……"

Fell into a trap?!

This thought flashed through my mind.

Xia He, thinking he had been cheated, immediately spread his short legs and turned around and ran away.

But with the distance between them so close, how could he possibly outrun the wolf?
Feeling the "beast" behind him getting closer and closer, Xia He stepped into the pit in a hurry, and the whole baby fell forward to the ground.

His body slid along the ground for a short distance and his head happened to hit a rock.

Xia He felt dizzy and thought he would be eaten up. However, after lying on the ground for a long time, nothing happened except that he smelled some blood nearby.

He didn't even feel the slightest hint of murderous intent.

Xia He couldn't help but look up, feeling very curious.

All he saw was... a dead rabbit placed in front of him.

Then the gray wolf bent down, took two steps forward, and nudged Xia He's body with its head.

Xia He: "?"

Wait, what's going on here?
He was suddenly confused.

It was not until a while later that he realized that the other party was signaling for him to enjoy the food.

"I see……"

Did I meet a she-wolf?
He had naturally read in his previous life the documents that recorded that wolves could raise human babies.

However, when he was reading it, he was more inclined to believe that this was just an isolated case, and most wild animals that encountered babies would choose to have a full meal.

"Are the wolves in the pirate world different from the ordinary ones?"

he thought to himself.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the one in front of us.

It has yellow-grey fur, a milky white belly and the inside of its limbs, two ears standing upright, and a tail hanging down between its hind limbs. No matter how you look at it, it looks just like an ordinary grey wolf.

However, its size is comparable to that of a tiger...

You can imagine how scared Xia He was when he saw this "monster" for the first time.

"This thing...I don't think I can eat it." Xia He said in a childish voice.

You can drink blood.

But to be honest, he had never tried drinking raw blood.

He has eaten Maoxuewang quite a few times...

At the same time, the gray wolf seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately moved closer to Xia He and lay down on its side.

"Ok?"

Xia He was stunned.

No, this wolf actually has milk?

Could it be that it had just given birth to wolf cubs?
That’s right too...

It is likely that the estrogen secreted after childbirth affects the brain. Otherwise, as a carnivorous mammal, how could it show such kindness to a human baby?
He came to this conclusion.

But right now, having milk to drink is the most important thing.

So, Xia He, feeling extremely lucky, just crawled on the ground and began to suck hard.

……

Just as Xia He expected.

After following the gray wolf to the cave, he actually found three cubs huddled in the corner.

One was about the same size as itself, and the other was the same yellow-gray color as its mother.

As for the other two...

One is snow-white and the other is black-purple.

This made him subconsciously reveal his crescent eyes again.

No, a litter of three colors is fine, but a black and purple wolf...

Is there really such a species in the world?
Oh, this is One Piece?
That's fine.

"It seems that most of the common sense I learned in my previous life, except for some basic ones, will be difficult to use..." he muttered to himself.

Maybe Xia He has the scent of Wolf Mother in him.

After opening their eyes and seeing Xia He, the three wolf cubs approached him without any hostility and rubbed Xia He's limbs with the back of their heads in a very intimate manner.

"Awoo~~" the wolf cub made a sound.

"Aiya~~" Xia He responded politely.

Afterwards, the three wolves and the baby lay side by side and drank milk one by one.

……

The days after.

Xia He naturally lived in the cave.

During this period, he made himself a simple baby suit using rabbit skin, banana leaves, and vines, and wore it on his body to prevent it from swinging around and affecting his daily walking.

As for food, there are almost only two kinds of things: wolf milk and fruit.

Even most fruits can only be crushed and drunk as juice.

Oh, by the way, no need for bananas.

After all, the flesh of this thing is much easier to chew than coconut.

This went on for about a month.

Looking at the character attribute panel in the system, Xia He, who is already one month and two days old, has finally started to grow teeth.

You know, in his previous life, his first baby tooth only grew when he was fifth month old. Now, with the help of the residual attributes, the progress is obviously much faster than before.

"It won't be long before I can eat meat..."

Wait until then and find a way to leave here.

Looking at the family of three who were gnawing on the carcass of the sambar deer, Xia He planned this in his heart.
