Chapter 40 Hungry

When I was homeless some time ago, I always felt sad and depressed.

Now that he had a place to live and a few little demons to keep him company, he gradually became happy.

Tian Buli walked around in the cave. The cave was not big, only about fifty steps, but it was a rare place to stay.

The interior is bright and spacious, with dark clusters of trees and flowers, a natural water source, an escape route and a ventilated hole in the mountain wall.

After leaving the county town, although food, clothing, housing and transportation became a little simpler, people who practice cultivation do not need to be obsessed with this.

Now that there is no one around me but a few little demons, it is much more convenient for me to practice cultivation or martial arts. I don't have to sell tofu every day, care about the ways of the world, bow down and smile to others, and support my family.

Tian Buli stopped and began to move his body in the open space, practicing the Eight Styles of Niupi.

After exercising for about half an hour, two white-haired and yellow-haired little demons with rabbit ears came over from the cave entrance curiously.

When Tian Buli saw the White Rabbit and the Yellow Rabbit coming, he smiled and walked over to the side and sat down.

"Come here, both of you, and talk to me."

"Yes! Benefactor!" Huang Tu walked over with her sister and stood in front of Tian Buli.

Tian Buli asked, "Do you two know how powerful the Black Wolf King is?"

People without thought, he must worry about.

After the sneak attack on the black dog, Tian Buli was thinking about how to deal with the black dog queen if he met it again in the future.

Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you feel at peace.

But the yellow rabbit and the white rabbit both shook their heads, unaware of the dangers around them.

Seeing this, Tian Buli had no choice but to stand up.

"Forget it, I'll go ask Lady Rabbit, how many years did it take you two to practice to transform into this human form?"

Huangtu seldom talked to people. When asked, he quickly said, "I am the oldest, with fifty years of practice, and my younger sister is the youngest, with only thirty years of practice."

Tian Buli has just accumulated more than a hundred days of cultivation, but he always feels that the two sides’ methods of calculating cultivation are different.

"How do you calculate your level of cultivation? Is it calculated based on birth, or is it calculated based on each day of cultivation?"

The yellow rabbit said quickly: "Of course, it's as long as we live. We were born as monsters and have been practicing with our parents. We were born without beasts."

Tian Buli suddenly became curious about something. "Rabbits can give birth to many rabbits at a time, but your mother only gave birth to you one at a time? What about the rest of your brothers and sisters?"

The yellow rabbit replied normally, "I ate them all."

Tian Buli was shocked and quickly stood still looking at the two seemingly ignorant banshees.

“You guys still eat rabbit?”

"What's the big deal?" The yellow rabbit looked at Tian Buli as if it was a matter of course, and asked, "Don't humans eat humans? We are born as demons, and we will become gods after practicing. Many of the babies my mother gave birth to were ordinary pieces of meat. She is in human form. How can a human feed a rabbit?"

"Once every few years, each time there are a dozen lumps of flesh."

Wild animals have the habit of eating eggshells and the flesh and blood clots of their newborns, especially when food is scarce, as these are the key to survival.

The yellow rabbit looked at Tian Buli and said, "My mother said that humans are the same. Humans eat children, rabbits, and rabbit monsters. We rabbit monsters only eat grass and rabbits, not children. Do you eat children?"

"No." Tian Buli shook his head quickly.

Tian Buli had never seen cannibalism, but he couldn't refute the fact that such a thing did happen.

Especially in the time of our ancestors, cannibalism was very normal. It was not a sin, but just one of the normal ways of dealing with things in that barbaric era.

Especially in years of famine, there is often no other choice.

The same is true for monsters. As long as they have their intelligence awakened, some of them will choose not to eat their own kind.

"We have to kill rabbits too. Otherwise, the rabbits around us will eat up all the grass, or attract monsters, and we will be in trouble."

"Hasn't the benefactor ever killed anyone?"

The yellow rabbit's mouth kept opening and closing, and Tian Buli was stumped by just a few words.

Tian Buli, who had killed people, had no right to condemn these rabbit monsters.

"I have killed one." Tian Buli sighed helplessly, then smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I have also eaten rabbit meat, and it's normal for you to eat rabbit meat."

I obviously eat rabbit meat myself, so why should I care whether the rabbit demon eats rabbits or not.

They are rabbit demons, not rabbits, and killing and eating rabbits are normal behaviors.

As long as they don't eat humans, it doesn't matter if they eat rabbits, wolf meat, or dog meat.

After entering the cave, I saw that the rabbit girl had woken up and was looking at this side with a smile.

"My benefactor, you must be hungry. There is half a month's worth of food stored in this cave. As long as we don't go out, the Black Wolf King will probably not be able to find us."

The yellow rabbit and the white rabbit squatted respectfully beside the haystack.

"mother."

The two rabbit demons greeted the rabbit lady, but the rabbit lady ignored them.

The gray rabbit and the black rabbit were sleeping in the haystack. The two rabbit monsters hugged each other when they slept, with their legs crossed and their cheeks facing each other.

Tian Buli sat next to Rabbit Lady and let her lie on his lap while he talked.

"Mrs. Rabbit, what's so powerful about the Black Wolf King?"

A look of fear appeared on Rabbit Girl's face, and her cheek was pressed tightly against Tian Buli's waist and abdomen.

"The Black Wolf King is extremely powerful. No monster around here can rival the Black Wolf King!"

Tian Buli patted the rabbit lady's cheek and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Do you know how strong the Black Wolf King is and what magical powers he has?"

The rabbit lady said hurriedly: "It runs faster than me and the rabbit king, and it is very strong. It pinned the rabbit king to the ground in one go and broke the rabbit king's bones with one bite."

Tian Buli still couldn't get more specific information, "Does the Black Wolf King know any magic?"

The bunny girl thought hard and seemed unfamiliar with these things.

"I've never heard of it, but I know that it has used this monster on the ground to catch and eat many monsters recently."

Tian Buli frowned, "How many years have you been practicing in this mountain? How come you know so little?"

Rabbit Lady felt that Tian Buli was angry, and looked at him with grievance, timidity and fear.

"My benefactor, ever since I gained spiritual consciousness and cultivated with the Rabbit King in this mountain, I have devoted myself to cultivation, just to become an immortal, and I really don't know anything else."

Tian Buli felt it was ridiculous, "When will you become an immortal?"

The Rabbit Lady shook her head. "It takes a thousand years to become an immortal. I have only been practicing Taoism for less than a hundred years. It is still a long way to go before I can become an immortal."

"The Rabbit King had practiced Taoism for 130 years. This time he died at the hands of the Black Wolf King. It was fate. Fortunately, I was able to escape this fate with the help of my benefactor. I can continue to cultivate immortality."

"Now that the calamity has not yet passed, we little demons hid under the benefactor, and he blocked the calamity for us. We are grateful for his kindness and are willing to repay him for saving our lives."

After hearing this, Tian Buli no longer bothered to be polite with these sincere monsters. Besides, there were no outsiders here, so he directly reached out and touched the rabbit girl's body.

"Okay, just repay me well in the future."

I wanted to go to bed right away, but then I thought about the monster that might come to my door at any time.

"Why didn't the Black Wolf King chase us last time?"

Tian Buli was a little confused.

The rabbit lady said calmly, "Maybe it was afraid of you, my benefactor. We monsters always avoid people. You came and beat it. It must be scared."

"There are very few rabbits and small animals here. If there are too many wolves, they will starve to death."

"The Black Wolf King has no followers to help him. He is as cowardly as a dog."

Does the rabbit have the guts to talk about the dog?
Tian Buli felt that this rabbit girl didn't seem to be very smart or capable, and she was not familiar with the situation here.

These five demon girls were now willing to serve as slaves, and it was very easy to be gentle with them, and it was possible now. But the reason why I helped the rabbit lady was because she was a woman at that time.

The reason why he ended up in this situation was because of the disaster he brought upon himself by helping Zhang Xia and the other two.

I don't regret either time, but I should have calmed down.

The bunny girl herself said that she was hiding under me to avoid disaster.

The disaster did not disappear, but was blamed on me.

The Black Wolf King is not a vegetarian monster. Now that I have offended it, I will inevitably end up like the Rabbit King.

Standing up for a woman or a witch is not something that can be done casually.

Even in the human world, it will attract revenge from evil people, let alone the monsters here.

I protected this litter of rabbits, and the wolf king will definitely hate me for not having any to eat.

If they come to my door, this nest of rabbits might run away immediately, but where can I run?

The color is a bone scraper.

Tian Buli can take these evil women any time now, but he has not eaten enough and slept well in the past few days, and he has been worried all day long. Now he needs to take care of his body and dare not waste it any longer.

"I have been running around for many days. I have drunk wine and eaten some fruits but still feel tired. What can I eat in this cave? Are there any weapons that are handy? Take me to have a look."

Tian Buli was extremely hungry, especially after thinking about the dangerous things, his appetite suddenly became much stronger.

"The cave contains grass, vegetables and fruits. We usually use some spoiled ones to make wine. We little demons only need to eat twice a day. If we eat too much, we have to go out to find food. If we meet the wolf king, we might lose our lives."

Rabbit Lady and Tian Buli stood up together and became a little stingy when it came to food. "It's better to eat sparingly."

Tian Buli wanted to eat meat to replenish his body.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a large shell on the ground that was in the way.

"Is this something edible?"

The shell is the size of a football, so there shouldn’t be much meat in it, but how can you let go of the meat that’s right in front of you?
It’s troublesome to keep it, so why not try eating it!

Thinking of this, Tian Buli looked at the rabbit girl's calf.

There is fine hair on the bunny's legs, but it is not obvious.

Compared with the yellow, black, gray and white rabbits standing next to them, the rabbit girl's legs appear smoother and more lustrous. In the words of scholars, it means that she has moved from ignorance to enlightenment, and she looks more pleasing to the eye.

"Bunny, is your leg okay?"

Tian Buli looked at the rabbit girl's calf that was bitten by the shell. It didn't look like it was poisoned or corroded. This thing should be non-toxic.

The rabbit lady replied, "Forgive me, benefactor. I need to rest for another half a month before I can move normally. If you need anything during these days, feel free to use these four slaves."

Although the idea of ​​a servant seemed a bit strange, Tian Buli thought about it himself.

I took in these five rabbits as slaves, not to take advantage of them. I really wanted to help these weak monsters avoid being eaten by the wolf king.

If they are willing to be my slaves and listen to me, it would be easier for me to practice cultivation and maintain my health. Do I have to interact with them as equals and be polite to them all day long?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of life and death. Being able to settle down better and faster is more important than anything else. Besides, I also plan to live here for a long time and don't want to live under someone else's roof. This is the best outcome now.

If they are rude to me, wary of me, and refuse to let me stay here, then there is no need for me to create trouble here. I can just go somewhere else and find a place to live where there are no monsters.

Tian Buli acted decisively and without being fussy. He looked directly at the four rabbit demon girls.

"Go find some wood. I want to make a fire and cook, and eat this shell."

After hearing this, the five rabbit monsters looked at Tian Buli in surprise.

The rabbit lady said, "My benefactor, I heard that humans all know the magic of controlling fire. Do you know it, too?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I know how to make a fire, but I don't know how to avoid or control fire. Don't you monsters know how to make a fire?"

It was obvious that none of the five rabbit monsters knew how to make fire.

"No, I am not afraid of fire. Even if I see it, I will hide away for fear of burning my fur."

Rabbit Girl’s understanding of fire is that it is a dangerous existence.

Like humans, monsters will not actively touch things that can hurt themselves.

"Then go find some wood and make a fire to cook!"

Tian Buli wanted to eat. He wanted to eat his fill first before talking about anything else.

At this time, the four little monsters, Gray Rabbit, Black Rabbit, looked at each other, and hid behind each other, while pushing the sisters around them forward.

Soon the white rabbit with white hair and white fur was squeezed out and fell to the ground.

"Ouch..." The white rabbit let out a cry and lay on the ground with its head lowered in sorrow and fear.

Tian Buli quickly reached out and helped up the white-haired rabbit monster that looked as shiny as a work of art.

"what happened?"

The black rabbit complained, "My little sister is timid! She refuses to go outside to collect firewood!"

"No..." The white rabbit girl lowered her head and retorted aggrievedly, but she seemed even more timid.

Tian Buli immediately understood what was going on. There was a big wolfdog outside looking for revenge. Several rabbit monsters believed that the most powerful rabbit king had been bitten and eaten by the monster. If they went out now and encountered the monster, they would definitely be bitten to death.

The fact that the big rabbit was eaten had a big impact on the little rabbits, and they all didn't want to go outside.

Tian Buli took the initiative to take on the tasks that the male protagonist of the family should do, and asked the rabbits to scout for the wolves, which was undoubtedly sending them to their deaths.

"Don't be afraid. You guys wait in the cave. I'll go out to find some wood and check out the surrounding area."

The rabbit lady said happily: "Thank you very much, benefactor!"

Tian Buli suddenly felt that he had indeed paid a little too much.

Fortunately, these rabbit monsters are very sensible and obey me respectfully. Otherwise, according to my personality, I really would not do such a life-threatening thing.

Even so, I still feel that I am just looking for trouble by taking on so many trivial things.

Coming out of the cave, Tian Buli looked at the dark and damp pool of water on the ground, and the pile of rocks illuminated only by a ray of light coming from the cracks in the stones outside.

"What if I leave now?"

"With my abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for me to find a remote place to stay. Why should I live next to these monsters?"

"But it's not so easy to settle down somewhere else. How can others trust outsiders so easily? If I go outside, I will still have to kowtow and deal with people. It's better to be free and easy in this forest. Here, I have five banshees to accompany me and serve me."

"I don't know how powerful the wolf king is. I'm afraid I'm no match for him. But if I just leave, the orphan and his widow will probably be eaten by the wolf."

"Forget it, let's give it a try."

"I have to practice diligently during this period. After I defeat the wolf demon, I will go back to Yanque City to take a look. If the people from Fuyuan Escort Agency make things difficult for Dou Niang, I will not let them off!"

"The Fuyuan Escort Agency has many people and the Black Wolf King is very powerful. Now the only way to solve this problem is to practice martial arts as soon as possible!"

"But speaking of it, Dou Niang's side still has priority. Since the gentleman won the first place in the case, he will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future. The people from the escort agency will definitely not dare to cause trouble for them."

"But I'm not afraid of a million, but I'm prepared for the worst. If I don't go and see it myself, I'll always feel uneasy."

Tian Buli suddenly wanted to go home. Although he had killed someone, it was not a big deal. The escort agency did not have the ability to have the whole city wanted for him.

He hit someone on impulse and forgot about the safety of Dou Niang and Zhang Xia.

"Alas..." Tian Buli sighed, "What's the point of being so nagging? If you want to go, just go. When I have eaten and rested, I will go back to take a look. If you want to blame someone for this, just blame those lackeys for going too far."

"I helped Zhang Xia and the others and suffered for them. All the responsibility lies with Fuyuan Escort Agency!!"

"Just hide well in the hole, you damned Fuyuan Escort Agency. If anything happens to Damiang, I will make you pay with your lives!"

Tian Buli began to look for firewood and stones. He wanted to fill his stomach first and worry about other things later.
