At night, I woke up on a rock and found myself in a cave. A bonfire was burning fiercely very close to me. On top of it, a whole prepared antelope was set up.

, from time to time, three or two drops of blood dripped down the sheep's horns into the fire. Instead of making the fire smaller, it roared upward.

There is also a rock on the other side of the fire, and two animal skins are neatly placed on it. This is my mother's technique. If it were me, I would probably just throw it in the corner. When I think about it when I need it, there are already dozens of animals on it.

Unclear ant beast, and then it takes a lot of effort.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" came the mother's voice, and then she came in from the outside, her hands covered with blood and hair.

"Have been asleep for a long time."

I moved my lips. I could only make small movements with my body, otherwise I would have stood up immediately to observe what was going on outside. Human territory? Why was it so quiet?

The mother immediately nodded, roughly cleaned the hair on her hands and threw them into the fire. Then she sat down next to the fire. While cooking the food that was still dripping with blood, she said, "Then let's eat something. I've been hungry for so many days."

You haven’t even eaten anything, so you must be starving.”

Not to mention food, even the usual predators have not been seen since the freezing rain. I don’t know if they are dead or hiding. Now I haven’t eaten anything for more than ten days, and I am already starving.

"You should eat it first. My mouth hurts when I move. You can feed me after you eat it, but it has to be roasted and there is still blood dripping from it."

I have been on my mother's back. Although I didn't find any food, at least I had water to drink when I was thirsty. In contrast, she found the way, found water, collected firewood, made a fire, hunted, and skinned... I'm afraid she didn't even have a drink of water. See

I feel bad about the wounds on her body.

"Then your thigh meat is mine~" My mother looked at me and laughed, and deliberately smacked her lips, making a sound of satisfaction.

"It's up to you!" I snorted coldly, closed my eyes and ignored her. I turned my head to the other side as much as possible and swallowed in secret. If I'm hungry, I can eat it myself. I don't miss this meal.

In fact, I know very well that there are two animal skins in the cave, so my mother must have caught two antelopes. After processing one, she hurriedly put it on the fire to roast, just so that I could eat it when I woke up. The second one was not ready yet.

I woke up after the treatment. She heard the noise and came in to see how I was doing. She didn't even have time to clean up the hair and blood on her hands.

Bingyu clearly scared everyone, and there was no trace at all. Fortunately, she caught two beasts. I definitely wouldn't have been able to catch them anyway.

"Where did you catch these two beasts..." Boredom swallowed, it is better to say a few words, since it is impossible to fall asleep when I am hungry anyway.

"They are unlucky. I didn't want to hunt at all. I just wanted to find a place to wait for you to recover before entering the human territory. Then I found this cave. It turned out to be the antelope's lair. It's the best of both worlds."

It’s really the best of both worlds. I’m a little speechless as to why I don’t have such luck.

"Is this already the territory of the human race?" When I was frustrated, I suddenly remembered and asked.

"We're still half a day away from the ancient city. Let's take our time to recover and don't be in a hurry... The meat is almost ready. Do you want a bite?"

"Eat it yourself," how can it be good so quickly, but it doesn't matter to us, it's okay to drink blood like hair.

I ignored her and closed my eyes tightly, imagining what might happen after entering the ancient city. It was a completely strange land to me, strange but also longing for me. In this longing, I fell asleep again.

.

This time I had a sweet dream. I dreamed that I was wandering around the ancient city, and everything I heard and saw was strange. Until I woke up the next day, I still had a satisfied smile on my face.

My mother was right next to me, and the two sheep barely moved. I also took my first bite of food in many days. The human body is easily satisfied, and I felt full from time to time. If it were the real body, I would eat something like this for three days.

I'm afraid five of them don't feel anything.

This is the charm of transformation. It changes in all aspects, including size, shape, appearance and body functions. It can be said that it is exactly the same as the human race. But even so, the road to be taken next is still the most dangerous.

"Mother, the two humans I met in the jungle seemed to recognize me as a beast at a glance. They have a way to tell us apart..." Since I decided to enter the ancient city, what I have thought about the most is this question. What if I am discovered as soon as I enter?

It means nothing.

This road has not even started yet, and I have already thought about giving up.

My mother was busy making clothes from animal skins and did not turn to look at me, but she still said: "If a human stood in front of me with nothing on, my first feeling would definitely be 'This must be an animal.' Only the orcs didn't care."

These."

"But the clothes I wore were lost when I turned into my real body later." There are very few times when you will encounter human corpses along the way. You have to avoid them when you are alive, but you are not so cautious when you are dead.

, the things they wore naturally became mine, and the clothes my mother wore also came from this.

"Did they hear what you said? They are very smart."

I did complain all the way, but it was unlikely. I still vaguely remember the way they looked at me, as if my mother suddenly told me to let me get on her back. It was full of surprises. Their target was the bear tribe.

, I can only count it as a surprise, it is not a surprise if I know it in advance.

"There must be some way to identify it. It's very dangerous if I don't know." I was a little helpless, but I had no intention of going into details.

My mother obviously thought so too. She finally stopped what she was doing, picked up the clothes she had just completed, nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and threw it on me, saying, "What are you thinking about?

Let’s try it.”

The animal skin was very thick, heavy and hard, and it made a dull sound like a stone when it hit me. I coughed several times in succession, feeling that my vitality was instantly reduced by half. I gritted my teeth for a long time before spitting out the word "pain".

Mother didn't even look at me and was busy making another set of clothes.

…

…

Time flies so fast. I have been lying here in the cave for a full month. My mother often goes out to hunt these days, and she never comes back empty-handed. It seems that the fear brought by the ice rain has almost dissipated. I can’t help but smile.

He stayed up and looked at the sky from a distance from the entrance of the cave: "Even you only bring this little fear."

My mother caught more and more prey, and with sufficient food, my body gradually recovered, first my hands and feet, then my body, and finally I could walk so fast that I hardly felt any discomfort.

"Compared to the previous ones, it's already very good." I took the clothes made by my mother and looked at them again and again. If I chose some, I would rather wear something rare from the human race. After all, it is much more comfortable.

He put on his clothes, stood at the entrance of the cave, looked around, moved his limbs slightly, and then jumped out.

This feeling of free running made the beast couldn't help roaring. Just when it was about to transform into its true form, it suddenly remembered what its mother said and secretly stopped. However, it still ran wildly in the dense forest for a while, even annoying a

The extremely powerful beast chased me, but fortunately it lost interest in me after a few breaths. I even enjoyed the feeling of escaping for my life. Sure enough, I had been lying down for too long.

When I was tired from running, and as my pace gradually slowed down, I turned my attention to the things around me. Most of these trees had lush branches and leaves, and there were almost no fallen branches.

"This place was not affected by the rain?" I said to myself, no wonder my mother caught prey every time.

It was time to go back, and before I knew it, the sun had disappeared. On the way back, I deliberately slowed down my pace. My body had recovered. I will enter the ancient city tomorrow, right? My mother doesn’t have the habit of staying too long. It was expected that I would stay in this cave for so long.

Outside.

At this moment, I feel an indescribable feeling.

When I returned to the cave, I saw my mother's busy figure from a distance. She seemed to be putting something on the ground. When I got closer, I realized that they were many huge bags made of animal skins, filled with miscellaneous things.

thing.

The mother was counting on her fingers next to her, and ordered them one by one: "Food, dry firewood, stones, bones, your clothes and a spiritual grass I picked up yesterday, these should be enough."

I was slightly stunned, then walked to the rock where I had been sleeping and sat cross-legged. I didn’t want to speak but I had to, and asked angrily: “What are all these?”

"I have prepared everything for going to the city tomorrow. The food was saved, the firewood was picked up by me, so I won't be afraid if it rains again, and the bones are leftover, just in case they are useful." She stared blankly.

I spoke.

I stood up and jumped to the pile of things, bent down and picked up a stone, and asked again: "What is this?"

"Stone, I picked this up too~" Mother smiled, took it from my hand and carefully put it into the pile of junk.

"Do you expect to use it to kill humans when you face them?" Of course I know it is a stone, but what's the use!

"And these are all superfluous!" Looking at the pile of useless things, I became even more angry. I firmly grasped the edges of the bag with both hands and threw it violently, and all the things flew out.

I have never been so angry. My mother also stayed silent and stepped aside silently. After looking at me for a few times, she got up, walked outside, bent down to pick up a few things, and came in.

I was so angry that I didn't look at her at all. She walked up to me and handed me the clothes made of antelope skin. She whispered: "You can keep this set of clothes as a spare. If you don't like it, I can wear it too."

Then she handed over another plant with spiritual energy and said with a smile: "This can help the wound heal faster. Even if it doesn't work, it can fill the stomach. I will bring in the meat again. I don't want anything else."

I don't want to be angry, but she really went too far this time. We are going to a human territory where death may occur at any time, not just playing house! Everything should play its maximum role.

"It's up to you." I was still angry, so I took the two things and threw them into the bag, then went back to lie down on the rock, closing my eyes tightly. I only heard my mother being busy inside and outside for a while, and finally sat on another rock.
Chapter completed!
