The sky was gloomy, the atmosphere was even more so, and I didn't know how many beasts around me focused their eyes on me, or to be precise, on the piece of meat next to me.

"Hey, take this meat back."

Anyway, I definitely can't guard it. If I put it here, I have to be alert to the movements of other beasts at all times. If I don't get the slightest benefit, I might lose my life if I don't pay attention, and it will be useless.

"Are you chasing me away?" She looked surprised again.

"No." I stood up, dragged the meat in front of her, and said, "It's going to get dark soon, won't you go back?"

Hearing this, she turned her head and looked around, then frowned slightly, "It's time to go back, but I promised your mother to take care of you."

"She doesn't know when she will come back yet, so you can go."

She still hesitated, stamped her feet left and right, suddenly clapped her hands, and suddenly said: "Then you go back with me."

What if I leave and my mother turns back and can't see me? Going to a strange beast's lair for no reason is even more impossible.

I didn't speak, but my attitude was already clear. She seemed to have disappeared, taking me and my meat into her mouth one after another, and then ran away.

Everything was so sudden, I couldn't move in her mouth, I only felt the strong jaw and the thick blood.

"Hey, let me go!"

I struggled wildly, but to no avail, and only fear was left in my body. She clearly wanted to eat me, but she still refused to swallow it. If this was a mockery, then she succeeded.

All I could do next was wait for the moment she swallowed, and feel the fear, despair and loneliness in the warm, small and moist mouth. And these feelings slowly turned into doubts with the bumps, jumps and gasps along the way.

If you go to such great lengths to try to eat me, that would be too...stupid.

Not long after she had this idea, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She actually let me out together with the piece of meat, and then lay on the ground panting.

"I'm exhausted. Next time, use your own body!"

Before I had time to react, two shadows came out from the depths of what must have been the lair.

"This is?"

Seeing them, she slowly sat up, combed her hair a few times, and said: "My friend, his mother went out for something. The past few months have been uneasy, so she brought him back."

"Oh, no wonder." After hearing her explanation, the eyes of the two beasts instantly became friendly, and their movements became much more easy-going.

"Use the original body, I always feel weird looking at the human form these past two days." One of the two beasts walked over to me and sat down opposite me, chatting calmly.

"Ah, this..."

Before I could say anything, she stood up, appeared in human form and walked over, saying at the same time: "If he wants to use his body, he has already done so, so don't worry about it."

"Oh, let's go in and sleep." He said and walked slowly towards the depths.

After their figures disappeared, she strode up to the piece of meat and pulled hard. After a lot of effort, she only tore off a small piece. She turned around and handed it to me, then continued to show her teeth and claws at the meat, but several times in a row.

None of them had much effect. Looking at the remaining minced meat in her hands, she simply gave up, sat down, and said: "The one just now is my mother, the other is my father, and there is nothing else."

"Just stay here. If you're hungry, there's a lot of meat. If you're too embarrassed to go get it, just call me, but you have to finish this piece first."

Probably because I had relaxed, my stomach began to growl unsatisfactorily when I heard the meat. I hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the small piece of meat she gave me just now and took a bite.

"I'm here now, what will my mother do then?"

"Didn't you say it would take several days for her to come back? Just wait two days."

I had made some angry remarks before, and I couldn't be sure of my mother's whereabouts.

Yes, it is possible that it will take some time for her to come back, but no matter how long it takes, if I am not by her side after she comes back, it will be my fault.

I stood up, walked to the edge of the nest and looked out. Looking down, the trees looked like grass and trees. Is she still among the "grass and trees"?

"So high."

After hearing my words, she ran over in a few steps and said, "Of course it seems unattainable in human form, but it's actually not that high."

Maybe so, but even if I use my true body, I can't remember where I was when I woke up before. The only way is through the smell. With so many beasts gathering together, it's really not easy to find the one that belongs to my mother.

What's more, the main body cannot be used.

"Hey, do you still remember how to send me back?"

"I remember." She replied immediately. After a pause, she suddenly started laughing again. She came close to my face and said without any secret, "You don't know how to get back, do you?"

Before I could say anything, she showed another evil smile and said, "Then you have to be careful and don't run around. There are many ferocious beasts on this mountain, and some of them really hate humans."

"I'm not human..."

Having said that, the fear comes from the inside out. After seeing those ferocious beasts before, I realized how easy it is for them to kill a life, and how difficult it is to follow the so-called rules.

"Okay, I will send you back when the time comes. If you are so afraid of doing anything, your voice will change."

"Then you send me back now..."

"What! Do you know how high this mountain is? It took me so much effort to bring you up. No, I have to stay for two more days."

Silent.

Seeing my deep voice, she changed her tone again, hugged my hand and said, "How about I take you back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Silence for a long time.
