Chapter 20: You Saved Me Again
As the sun set, Caius hunted a fat prey and returned to the lair with a snake's tail. The whole process was very fast, and it didn't take more than an hour to go back and forth.
However, when he hurried back, he did not see the female.
Caius searched anxiously inside and outside the cave, but saw no human figure, and finally realized one thingβthe female had run away.
His expression was cold and indifferent, as if he had expected this result a long time ago.
Prey tightly wrapped around its tail "Bang! "The ground is squeezed into flesh.
"Hiss~" The bright red snake hyacinth searched for the factor left in the air, and the slender snake tail more than ten meters long swayed, and the man turned around and disappeared into the jungle.
β¦β¦
Somewhere in the forest, a girl covered in mud and water runs wildly through the forest, followed by a group of wolves in hot pursuit.
"Ahh
She seemed to have tripped over a stone under her feet and fell, and her body curled up in pain, unable to get up again.
When the wolves rushed towards her, she saw a long black afterimage swept out of her eyes like a lightning speed, followed by a few falling sounds, and several wild wolves fell to the ground one after another, unable to get up again.
Caius's eyes were red, and his gaze was tightly on Bai Susu, wanting to question her why she was running, but just as his emotions were about to get out of control, he was thrown into his arms by a soft and fragrant body, extremely dependent.
She buried her head in his chest and choked up, "You saved me, you saved me, woo, if you hadn't come just now, I would have been eaten by those wolves......"
"Those wolves are so scary, I'm so scared......"
"Good thing you're here."
Caius didn't even have time to get angry when he found that the anger in his heart was extinguished by the female's tears, and he didn't know how to comfort her, but gently patted her back with his cold and slender palm, "Don't be afraid." β
Growing up alone and wandering, with little verbal communication with others, Caius's voice was inorganic and indifferent, word by word like a vow, "Don't run, I'll protect you." β
"Why did you run out?"
He asked again.
Bai Susu blinked, her slender eyelashes curled, and there were wet dew drops, "I, I didn't run, it's just because I'm so hungry that you haven't come back with food, so I can't help but go out to find some fruit to eat, but I didn't expect to meet a wolf." β
"Where's the fruit?" Caius looked down at her.
Bai Susu's eyes were even redder, "I just ran away, I fell, I fell, I fell ......"
The aggrieved seemed to be crying in the next second.
Caius couldn't help but laugh, "I'll take you to pick some more fruit." β
He reached out again and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and his cold tone was always cold with a bit of pity that he couldn't even detect, "It's me who is not good, I came back late, and I starved you." Next time I'll hunt early, don't run around, the forest is dangerous. β
Caius thought to himself, why does this little female like to cry so much? Are all females like this? It was the first time he had seen him.
But she cries very beautifully and cutely, which makes him like it.
After this unexpected incident, Caius could clearly feel that the little female had relaxed her vigilance against herself, or that because she was her savior, she would subconsciously rely on herself in the desert and be willing to be close to her.
And she didn't show any fear.
It was a good development between the two.
Caius did not take him straight back to the cave, but walked around the nearby forest, where many fruit trees bear fruit during the season, and he sees many red berries.
I heard that the females of the tribe like to eat this fruit.
Caius could often see orcs helping females pick the fruit to please them.
He also picked a lot for Bai Susu.
"Delicious!" Bai Su replied sweetly.
It's really delicious, it's not blown, the flesh is crunchy when you bite into it, and the juice is sweet, a bit like a combination of apples and peaches.
Caius saw the female smile at him, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction rose in his heart, and the tip of the black snake's tail swayed slightly. He was in a good mood and caught a huge boar by the tail, and returned to the lair with Bai Susu before it got dark.
Bai Susu could guess how miserably this prey had been treated when he saw the minced flesh and bones outside the cave, and couldn't help but swallow.
I thought: No matter how docile this snake beast is in front of him, he is also the ruthless future villain in the original book!
Caius's palm structure is very peculiar, it can automatically burst out sharp nails like a cat, easily cut the neck of the wild boar, and after the bloodletting, he didn't even pluck the hair on the wild boar's body, and directly tore her a beast leg.
"When we're full, we mate."
Bai Susu looked at the bloody raw meat leg in front of him, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and turned his face away, "No! β
"You don't want to mate with me?"
Caius's face darkened slightly, and he became dangerous.
Bai Susu shook his head and denied, "Of course not, but we have just met, alas, we females are very picky about the selection of males, I have only known you for a day, I don't know you at all, and you don't know me, how can I mate with you?" β
"You don't even know my name, do you?" There was a look of complaint on her white little face.
Caius later realized that the way he met the female did not conform to the logic of a normal person.
He has been used to wandering in the wild since he was a child, rarely interacts with people, has always been casual, names are dispensable to him, and he does not know much about the normal order of communication between orcs.
Realizing that the little female did not show disgust and rejection of her courtship, she simply felt that the progress was too fast, which made her feel a little unacceptable for the time being.
Realizing this, Caius's face softened, and his crimson lips smiled slightly.
He approached her, his long tail running over the ground, making a chilling sound of a snake sliding on it.
Caius leaned down, his satin-like cold black hair swept across her white face, causing him to shrink a little, he stretched out his slender and cold palm to hook her chin, and a cold voice slowly came, "What's your name?" β
"Bai Susu." She looked up at him with a small face and replied in a soft voice.
"Bai Susu......" he bit between his lips twice, remembered, and handed her the piece of raw meat leg, "Eat meat first." β
Bai Susu: ......
The corners of his mouth twitched.
He wasn't really going to just let her eat it raw, was he?
Seeing that the female did not move, Caius was a little puzzled, and tore off a thin piece of flesh with his sharp nails and tried to stuff it in her mouth.
Bai Susu hurriedly turned his head away, and his voice hardened a little, "I don't eat raw meat!" β
