Chapter Forty-Four: Josevi's Pet
Zero followed José on the path in the dense forest, and the forest road twisted and twisted forward. It's sunny today, but the forest is lush with foliage, blocking most of the sun, and walking in the jungle is slightly shady all around. From time to time, birdsong came, some crisp, some sharp, some short, some long...... The air in the forest was a little humid, because of the rain two days before, the soil covered with dead leaves under my feet was very soft, and when I took a deep breath, my nose was full of mud mixed with the smell of grass and trees.
Suddenly, several black shadows flashed from the treetops overhead, and the branches and leaves rustled in startle, and Zero was stunned and did not dare to make a sound, staring cautiously at the shaking branches overhead.
Josevi took Zero's hand and said, "Don't be nervous, the prickly top monkeys are flocks of vegetarian animals, and they are out foraging in groups. ”
Zero caught a glimpse of a curly monkey tail flashing between the branches and leaves, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to follow her.
Josevi reached out to a bush in front of her, and her powerful telekinesis pushed through the lush bushes, revealing a path on the ground. Josevi turned around and reminded Zero to be careful with her step, and Zero cautiously took a step forward by Joséway's hand.
The branches of the bushes here are very tough, and after the two of them walked through the bushes, the bushes that had lost the support of Joseve's telekinesis immediately closed, and it looked natural, not like they had just been artificially separated.
"There's something hidden here. Zero thought to himself.
Walking to a small clearing, Zero raised his head and asked José Clear, "Where the hell are we going?"
Josevi reached out and touched his head before replying, "Go and nurse the puppy." ”
"Huh?" Zero pouted, puzzled.
"You'll know when you get there, keep up. Josevi said as she continued down the path into the woods.
They were almost halfway up the mountain, and the trees were getting thicker and thicker, with the occasional ray of sunlight shining through the lush foliage on the ground covered with dead leaves and broken branches. The two of them walked along a mountain wall, and when they turned a boulder, they saw a large, dark cave, and when they got closer, they faintly smelled the smell of animals.
"Don't tell me you've got a monster in here. Zero guessed something, and looked up in horror to José Cele, who was standing beside him.
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, José Sewei raised her slender eyebrows, and she opened her mouth to say to Zero: "There is more than one~"
After saying that, Josevi took a step forward and walked into the cave, and stood at the entrance of the cave with a bitter face and said to her: "It's really not an accident that you saved me, right......?"
José said "keep up" without looking back, and Zero glanced back at the reckless jungle behind her, and then followed in with a helpless face.
The cave wasn't too small, and the two of them walked around it straight, the walls of the cave above their heads much higher than theirs. As the smell became stronger and stronger, Zero pinched his nose and looked at Qiao Sewei's curling back, and complained in his heart.
This woman is really wonderful, and now it seems that she will not only save people, but also save monsters. Maybe she felt lonely after living alone in this big forest for too long, so she saved some magical beasts to keep as pets. Wait a minute...... Wouldn't she be kept as a pet by her...... I also remembered that this woman usually asked him to do all the housework, and she also said that she was exercising herself for the recovery of his body after his injury, and even her own clothes had to be washed by him, even intimate clothes such as underwear......
Zero suddenly felt that she was not even as good as a pet, the key was that she had asked him whether he could cook in the past two days, intentionally or unintentionally, and she was simply raising him as a servant.
"In order to learn magic, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth ......" Zero cheered for himself in his heart.
Josevi suddenly stopped, looked back at Zero, who was pinching his nose with a serious face, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"You...... What are you?" asked Zero, looking at a small cloth bag held between José Moon's nose.
"Sachets," replied Josevie, "do you want one?"
"I'll go! why didn't you give it to me earlier?" said Zero, frowning and staring at Josevi with a gloating expression.
"Haha...... You didn't ask~" Josevi said, took out a sachet and handed it to Zero, who had a stupid face.
Zero didn't speak, and while slandering José in her heart, she took the sachet and put it in front of her nose and took a few deep breaths.
Seeing that Zero's face was much better, Josevi smiled and said "Let's go", then turned around and continued walking towards the cave. Zero put the sachet to his nose and glanced at José Clear's back, and stepped along.
The deeper you go into the cave, the wider the space becomes, and turning right into the deepest part of the cave, Zero is startled by the scene in front of him.
A huge wolf-shaped demonic beast stood in front of them, staring at them with a fierce expression. The beast looked like it was five stories tall, and it was tense, prostrate on the ground, its back towering high, giving the impression that it would pounce at any moment. Its strong, powerful limbs are pierced with sharp claws, its grinning expression looks fierce, and its sharp canine teeth seem to bite everything.
Ever since escaping from the feathered tiger's massive canine teeth, Zero has been terrified of this huge and ferocious beast. He originally thought that an elegant and beautiful woman like Josevi should be the kind of kind-looking, docile and obedient little monster if she wanted to raise a monster, but he was completely wrong, this woman was a freak, under the appearance of Allure, you can never figure out what she was thinking, he fell into the evil and ran here with her. Now he stood in front of a huge and wild beast again, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"Shhhh
Josevi put her index finger in front of her lips and made a silent gesture at the monster, and the beast saw Josevi's movements, and the tension of her whole body eased. Its hunched back relaxed, and it took two steps forward with its head bowed and walked in front of Josevie.
"Good boy~" Josevi stroked the thick mane on the neck of the monster, pointed to the dull Zero beside him and said, "This is my friend, he's still a child, don't scare him." ”
Zero stood stiffly in place, and he didn't dare to come out, he saw the demonic beast rolling his eyes and looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up straight and smiled at it and said, "You...... Hello, my name is ...... Zero ......"
I saw that the wolf-shaped demonic beast let out a breath from its nose and roared at him. Zero got goosebumps all over his body, shrunk his head and took two steps back.
José covered her lips and chuckled at Zero and said, "Tira, I'm greeting you." ”
"Hah...... Haha......" Zero laughed a few times in a cold sweat.
José shook her head helplessly at Zero Fear, whispered "What a coward", and then raised her head and said to Tira, "We're here to feed the baby." ”
Hearing Josevi say that he was timid and rolled his eyes fiercely at her back, he despised Josevi in his heart and said, "When you are trapped in the cage and bitten by a demonic beast, I don't think you can be as calm as you are now." ”
Although he thought so, Zero was still unconvinced by Josevi's statement that he was timid, and then took two steps forward and followed Joséway.
José Selvey smiled at Zero as she ran forward, touched Tira's supple hair, and walked towards the cave.
"Tila is a female Howling Wind Valley wolf, her mate was killed in battle with other monsters more than a month ago to defend her territory, and I found her in the middle of her life, so I took her to this cave to nurse her children. Josevi explained to Zero as she walked, "But due to the severity of the injuries and the excessive fright, although the children were born and the injuries were healed, the milk secretion was insufficient to feed all the wolf cubs, so I will let you follow me to catch the Ironhorn Yak and milk it in the morning, just to feed Tira's children." ”
"Oh, that's ......," Zero nodded.
"Look. Josevi lifted her chin and motioned for Zero to look forward.
Zero fixed his eyes on the corner of the dark cave, in a simple wolf den made of rags and branches, where three young wolf cubs lay and waited to be fed.
The three wolf cubs had apparently just been born for a short time, and although their eyes were open, they could not walk, and crawled crookedly in their nests. Compared to the dark gray fur of an adult Howling Wind Valley Wolf, the cub looks pale in color, and its appearance is not as vicious as that of an adult Valley Wolf.
Zero looked at the wolf cub shaking its little paws and crawling slowly in the nest, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh yo~ This is still ...... It's cute~"
"Cute~" José Sherway said smugly to Zero.
"Can I ......" Zero asked José Eve beside him, wanting to touch the wolf cub.
Josevi nodded, and Zero glanced at Tila next to her, and saw that there was nothing unusual about the other party squatting quietly on the ground, so she walked to the edge of the nest and reached out to touch the little wolf cub.
"Whew......" Suddenly Tila behind her let out a low roar in her throat, and Zero was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her hand, stood up straight, and didn't dare to move.
"Hahaha......" José Sewei looked at Zero's nervous expression and laughed, "Tila is telling you to be careful, look at you scared~"
"How ......do I know," said Zero with a bitter face, turning back to Josevi, "Don't you know that I was frightened several times ago and almost died in the mouth of a tiger? ”
"You guts, you have to practice again......" José Sevi smiled and glanced at Zero and said, "Touch it quickly, or after a while, Tila will be in a bad mood, and maybe she won't touch it." ”
Zero sighed, turned around, bent down, and reached out to touch the wolf cub in the nest. The huge size of this deep forest monster seems to be innate, even if it is a wolf cub that has not been born for a long time, it is as big as an ordinary adult domestic dog.
Zero touched the wolf cubs crawling in the den with a smile on his face, and the three wolf cubs saw Zero and crawled towards him. Zero laughed out loud at the cute and soft wolf cubs in the nest, he handed his fingers to one of them, and the wolf cub sucked with Zero's fingers with its toothless mouth, and Zero felt a tingle in his heart.
Josevi stepped forward, placed three large bottles full of yak milk on the ground, and said to Zero, "Come, I'm done touching and feeding the cubs." ”
"Huh?" Zero looked up at Josevi with a bewildered face.
