Chapter 10 Before the Age of Eight ● The Life of a Xuan Sable (10)
After half a month of training, those weaker second-order demon beasts, the little guy has been able to hunt alone.
One night, the little guy was about to go back to the cave after training with a second-order demon beast as usual, but he encountered a group of unexpected visitors in the forest, who were Terrans like her.
This is the first time the little guy has met someone, there used to be a Xuan Mink to accompany him, every time the Xuan Mink will secretly bypass to avoid encountering the Terrans, and now the Xuan Mink is not there, but the Terrans rarely enter this forest in winter, in such a big forest, let the little guy meet, I have to say, this is also a kind of fate.
The little guy was a little curious, so he hid in the shadows and secretly observed these people.
These people stand and walk on two legs, they look very tall, they are wearing clothes of unknown material, they look very soft but also very strong, a belt is pinned to their waists, they are tied with many small cloth bags, and they have all kinds of weapons in their hands, and many of them have scars on their bare skin, which are traces left by years of fighting with demon beasts.
They came to the forest to hunt monsters?
The little guy's guess was right, this group of people was a group of mercenaries who operated on the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest all year round, and the task they usually did was to ask them to hunt some kind of demon beast in the forest, or collect some kind of herb, or capture some kind of demon beast alive as a contract beast.
There are more than ten people in the camp, all of them are men, it's not that there are no women as mercenaries, but they are really rare, and they are not often seen.
At this time, next to the fire in the camp, several middle-aged men were chatting together.
"Tsk, it's so fucking cold this winter."
"But no, take advantage of the time to roast your body hotter, so as not to wake up Lao Tzu in the middle of the night."
"It's okay, it's not so cold to run the aura at night."
"Don't say cool things to Lao Tzu, if Lao Tzu has a fire spirit root like you, it will still be hot at night."
"Hehe, do you want to come and rub the heat at night?"
"Fuck off, what are two big men huddled together, if you want to sleep, you have to sleep with a delicate and gentle woman."
"Hahaha, where can I find you a woman in this wilderness, and I can find you a female beast general."
"Roll on, I'm not hungry to that extent."
"Hahahaha."
"By the way, have you heard, the eldest prince just arrived at Jindan Dacheng a few days ago, and he will participate in this mission college assessment at the beginning of spring."
"Really? He's only ten years old, right? ”
"Tut-tut, this kind of God chasing after food is not comparable to our kind of chasing God for food."
"That's not it, the eldest prince has already laid the foundation in five months, looking at the entire continent, who can find the second one?"
"I think the eldest lady of the Yunyang Sun family may be there."
"Come on, let's just say that the eldest lady also spent six months to build the foundation, a whole month away."
"Then you have to look at the back, maybe she will surpass the eldest prince in her later cultivation?"
"Hmph, it's just a girl......"
"You have to go, the eldest lady is only five years old now, and she is already in the late stage of foundation building, I'm afraid you were still playing with mud when you were five years old."
"Eh, like these darlings of God are different, not only are they talented, but their family background is good, unlike us, they have to worry about eating every day."
"Yo Yo Yo, listening to what you said, it's really sour."
"Hahaha."
“……”
What was said later, the little guy didn't listen, it was not early, and if it was later, Xuan Mink should be worried.
I can't understand what they're saying anyway, and the Terrans probably like to babble a lot.
The little one left quietly and quickly hurried back to the cave.
"Squeak?" Xuan Sable looked at the little guy who hurried back and asked.
"Squeak squeak." The little one saw the slices of meat left for her by the sable, and skillfully condensed the flame to roast the slices of meat.
"Squeak?" Xuan Mink's eyes narrowed, and he looked thoughtful.
"Squeak, squeak." The little one didn't care too much, so he stuffed the roasted slices of meat into his mouth, and after eating, he cleaned the stains off his body with the water stored in the cave.
A gust of wind blew, and it was a little cold, and the little guy gathered the fire aura in the cave to ward off the cold.
The sable has grown in size, and the sparse hair from before has grown back, and it is as soft and beautiful as before.
The little guy leaned on the sable, his body relaxed.
"Squeak, squeak."
Hearing that Xuan Mink said that he wanted to go back to the tree cave, the little guy was not surprised, in the past half a month, Xuan Mink's injury has almost healed, and the tree hole is indeed more comfortable to live in than the cave, so he nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, a man and a mink returned to the previous tree hole, and half a kilometer away from the tree hole there was still the thirty-foot-deep pit, in which there was a mutilated body, and there was no trace of the meerkat elephant, so it must have left a long time ago.
Ignoring the traces of the battle, and tidying up the hollow again, the sable continued to lazi, oh no, to recuperate, and the little one went to hunt and train on the outskirts of the forest.
The bloodline coercion spread out again, enveloping the territory belonging to the Xuan Mink.
The days went on as usual, the winter slowly passed, and as the little guy's range of activities in the periphery became larger and larger, he also met the Terrans a few more times, but they were all far away from each other, and there was no intersection.
Two years later, the forest is still the same, seemingly peaceful but full of dangers, full of fighting, all for survival.
After another two years of training and countless fights with demon beasts, now the second-order demon beasts no longer pose a threat to the little guys, they are third-order demon beasts, and with sneak attacks, most of the little guys can also take them down.
Returning to the tree hole with today's prey, the sable was lying on the bulging thick roots in front of the tree hole to bask in the sun, and the whole mink was lazy.
The little guy has become accustomed to it, and he takes the initiative to deal with the prey he brings back.
Everything is the same as ever, huh...... The environment around the tree hole is still a little different.
Two years ago, the big hole was filled with rainwater, forming a small pool, and the little guy would throw some aquatic plants into the pool from time to time, and now there are many unknown plants that have survived under the water, and the most beautiful ones are the purple lotus flowers in the middle of the pool.
The previously charred earth was covered with green grass again, and there was a path to the river, unshaded by tall trees, which had been knocked out by a mad meerkat elephant, and the fallen trees were buried by lush bushes, and the trunks slowly corroded and dissolved back to the earth.
There is more life around the tree hole.
"Squeak."
The little guy roasted the pieces of meat, and then called the sable down for lunch.
The sable stretched his waist, jumped down, picked up the piece of meat and devoured it.
The days are simple and peaceful, and there are a few quiet fireworks in this forest.
However, the days of one man and one mink will not last long, and they will soon be broken.
