Chapter 1311 The so-called beauty of understanding people...
Enkidu moved his huge body and focused his attention on the... creature in front of him.
What kind of creature is this?
Enkidu felt that Shamhat was somewhat familiar, but... not completely familiar.
Because Shamhat is too weak, the feeling of magic power on his body is similar to that of an ordinary beast, but there is a hint of the aura of a god.
So is this a goddess?
It doesn’t look like it either?
Compared to Enkidu's confusion, Shamhat was already trembling to the point of suffocating.
What is this? Is this a god?
Although this antlered beast showed no hostility or desire to attack, its mere presence was enough to make Shamhat almost faint from fear.
Shamhat had never seen such a strange beast, ever.
This doesn't look like a deer, nor does it look like a brown bear, nor is it any of the monsters recorded on the clay tablets - this is a beast that no one knows about.
And now, he is about to die in the hands of this beast...
Shamhat's face was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were already turning a little white.
Enkidu found it a bit strange to see this creature that looked a bit like a human but had the aura of a god in it.
Enki can feel a lot of negative emotions from it.
Are you nervous? Or are you scared?
Enkidu lowered his antlered head and approached Shamhat.
"Alas--"
Shamhat saw this monster approaching him and subconsciously wanted to scream.
But in this "desperate situation", she suddenly remembered what King Gilgamesh said to her before she left -
This monster seems to have two heads!
If your screams attract the other side...
She covered her mouth and tried her best not to scream.
But that monster is getting closer and closer to me...
What to do? What to do? What to do......
She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
but......
well?
no feelings?
Didn't that monster kill me?
With this thought, Shamhat opened his eyes.
Then, what came into her eyes was the monster's huge head, which was almost attached to her face.
"......Well--"
She rolled her eyes and finally fainted.
Enkidu:?
What's going on with this little thing?
It used the snout-like structure on its body to gently nudge the fainted Shamhat twice, capturing a little bit of the smell and feeling of Shamhat.
...What kind of creature is this? It doesn't look like a human being, and it doesn't look like a god with the aura of a god.
really weird.
With such curiosity, Enkidu looked around, dropped a smear of mud, and then...
Suck!
Enkidu's mud enveloped Shamhat.
Then, Enkidu took back the mud that wrapped Shamhat, taking Shamhat with him.
Shamhat's head grew out of Enkidu's head, and the rest of his body was wrapped in Enkidu's mud, and he was still in a coma.
Just like that, Enkidu started moving with Shamhat in tow.
It wanted to find out where Ananu had gone and let Ananu have a look at this strange creature.
...
Ananu is walking around in the forest.
It and Enkidu would still often move apart. After all, even if they were kneaded from the same piece of mud at the same time, they were still separate individuals. They were often separated when they were in the Enlil Forest.
Ananu is currently observing the forest at night, trying to find something that may be novel.
...
The next day, early morning.
Enki didn't even find Ananu.
But Shamhat, who was wrapped in it, woke up.
"Hmm... uh... hmm?"
Shamhat was bleary-eyed. When she first woke up, she would usually stretch out as a habit. This would not only end the stiffness in her body after sleeping all night, but also highlight her proud curves as a woman to the greatest extent.
But now, she felt like she couldn't move.
Wait, it’s not just that I can’t move—what’s going on now!?
In panic, Shamhat regained consciousness.
She now felt as if her whole body was buried in the soil, and it was the kind of burial method where only her head was exposed to the ground.
but why--
She is moving!
No, the color of the soil where I was buried...could it be...!?
The heart-piercing screams that belong exclusively to women resounded through the fir forest. The sleepy birds that were still staying on the treetops were frightened to the point of almost falling from the trees, while the beasts that were not yet fully awake fell directly.
I was so frightened that I woke up.
What is this? What is this?
Enkidu stopped.
It understands.
This is human!
Being able to make moaning sounds is not what it is like to be human!
he——tui!
Pah pah!
Shamhat was spat out by Enkidu.
...It can't be said that he vomited it out, after all, Enkidu didn't eat Shamhat, but this action...
"Ouch!"
Shamhat was vomited to the ground and rolled in a circle with a dazed look on his face.
......what's the situation?
--wait wait wait!
She saw it again! That monster from yesterday!
She wanted to run, but she hadn't eaten anything or drank any water since yesterday. She was so frightened by this big green monster that her legs didn't obey her orders at all. When she tried to stand up, her legs collapsed.
He lay down softly.
...Goddess Ishtar, if there is an afterlife——
Huh? Wait.
Am I not dead?
It's morning now, and it was probably dusk when I first encountered this monster. I don't know if it was yesterday's dusk or the day before yesterday, but it probably wasn't today's dusk...
Shamhat felt the ground shake.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the green monster.
The monster sat on the ground, and the shock just now was caused by the monster sitting on the ground.
Just like before, this monster seems to be observing itself?
Shamhat was still a little scared.
But since he's not dead, that means... this monster won't kill him?
She glanced cautiously.
The monster didn't move at all, it was still sitting on the ground with its upper body erect.
Shamhat swallowed and stood up gently, keeping his eyes on Enkidu, the green monster, and then backed away...back away...
Step by step, he moved back behind a tree. Shamhat pulled at the trunk of the tree and looked at Enkidu, who was motionless but seemed to be looking at him.
She was basically certain that this thing was the beast that "understood the beauty of human beings" as King Gilgamesh said.
From the looks of it, there should be nothing wrong with the description.
but......
What to do next?
King Gilgamesh wanted to bring this monster back to Uruk.
