Chapter 2 Fierce Beast
Chapter 2 Fierce Beast
Five days later...
Under the blazing sun, on the outer edge of the Black Forest, several short figures were surrounding a huge beast.
The beast resembled a tiger, but was the size of a small elephant, with a pair of extremely malevolent red eyes.
Despite this, the figures in front of him were not intimidated. Instead, they also showed fierce expressions and stared intently at the ferocious beast.
"This beast is too tough! It's been stabbed several times, yet it's still so resilient!"
"You know what, he just slapped me so hard I almost broke my bones!"
"Who told you to dodge so slowly!"
"you......."
"Stop talking, stop talking! Quickly kill this scoundrel and go back to report to the King."
There were seven figures surrounding the ferocious beast; they were none other than the wolf scouts, the little demons under Lin Tian's command.
Five days have passed since the system awakened. During these five days, Lin Tian has been constantly hunting wild beasts in the forest, and his wolf scouts have quickly reached 10. After the summoning limit was reached, Lin Tian stopped going out and studied the system in the hut built for him by the wolf scouts, while the wolf scouts went out to hunt in the forest to obtain spiritual essence for Lin Tian.
However, last night, one of the wolf scouts suddenly lost contact. Lin Tian was puzzled, so he sent out seven wolf scouts to investigate and find out the cause of the wolf scout's death.
The wolf scouts lived up to Lin Tian's expectations. Following the water source near their companion's corpse, they quickly found a ferocious beast feeding. There was a scratch on the beast's body, which the wolf scouts identified as the wound inflicted by their own knives.
The wolf scouts discussed it and decided to kill the beast and present its carcass to the king.
However, to their surprise, this ferocious beast was unlike any of the wild animals they had hunted before. Its limbs were extremely well-developed and it was exceptionally fierce. After several rounds, they were unable to subdue the beast, and several of them were nearly killed.
Of course, although they didn't manage to capture it, the ferocious beast was now at its last gasp, with several knife wounds on its body. It was clear that although the individual wolf scouts were no match for the beast, when they worked together, the beast wouldn't gain any advantage. If they dragged it out any longer, the beast would surely die.
Seeing the wolf scouts surrounding him, the ferocious beast was furious, but dared not continue the attack. If he attacked, some bastard would stab him in the back. The pain in his wound made the beast want to retreat. He rolled his eyes and planned to find a way to escape.
"This beast is trying to run away! Stop him!"
The ferocious beast suddenly leaped over the head of a wolf scout, then began to run wildly on all fours.
A nearby wolf scout reacted quickly, shouting as he threw his longsword.
Pfft!
The wolf scout had good aim; it struck the beast's hind leg precisely, embedding itself deeply. The beast howled in pain but endured the agony and continued its charge.
"Grandpa won!"
"Chase!"
Those who can act as scouts are naturally quite quick-witted. The other wolf scouts also reacted quickly and gave chase. The tiger was injured, so it certainly couldn't have run far.
And so, the seven demons and one beast began their chase through the forest...
..............................
"Dad, I found a pearl!"
A boy's voice rang out, and Norn, who was buried in searching for healing herbs, looked up and saw his son, Little Norn, running towards him with a herb in his hand.
When he confirmed that the healing herb he was looking for was indeed the one his son was holding, he was overjoyed.
"That's wonderful, Noel, you're the best son in the world!"
Norn took the herbs from his son's hand and placed them in his pouch at his waist as if they were precious treasures. Then he looked at Norn and hugged him tightly.
Great, great! We've found another one. If we find two more, we can complete that distinguished guest's request. With the reward from that request, my wife's illness should be cured, and our family will be better off.
As he thought about it, a smile crept onto Norn's lips. After holding his son for a while, he put him down and said to him with a smile.
"You're so wonderful, Noel! I'll make you some deer bone soup tonight when we get home."
Seeing his father happy, Noel was equally happy. Just as the father and son were immersed in this joyful atmosphere, a deafening roar came from afar, startling them both.
Norn looked in the direction from which the roar came, and it was coming from Black Coal Mountain. He couldn't help but shudder.
Black Charcoal Mountain is located on the edge of the Black Forest, where man-eating beasts roam year-round. He wouldn't have come to this area if he hadn't been searching for this healing herb.
As dusk approached, Norn thought for a moment and decided not to linger any longer. He could find grass another day, but if he lost his life, it would be truly over, especially since he had his son with him.
So, after quickly cleaning up the traces, he took his son down the mountain.
Not long after...
Tatata!
A huge creature was running through the forest. Its speed gradually decreased until it came to a complete stop, and then it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
This creature, which would be considered extraordinary in the human world, died in the wild.
Half a minute later, several figures that looked like wolves and humans caught up. Seeing the dead beast in front of them, the group stopped in their tracks.
"That beast... is finally dead! You've exhausted your grandpa!"
"What are we going to do with this body? It's so big, there's no way any of us can carry it up here!"
Seeing that the ferocious beast was dead, the wolf scouts began to discuss how to dispose of the carcass.
Normally, they would drag their prey back. Although they could obtain spiritual energy the moment they killed the prey, Lin Tian and the few lesser demons were not gods after all, and naturally needed food.
"Let's pick out a few good pieces of meat and send them to the king. The rest is no good; we brothers can't carry it all."
Several wolf scouts exchanged glances and decided to proceed. They then went up and began cutting the flesh, their eyes scanning the corpse like vultures, each thinking of cutting off the best piece to give to their king.
"what are you doing?"
A wolf scout set his sights on the thigh and prepared to cut off the plump leg. He could already imagine the king eating the thigh and praising him lavishly.
But just then, another wolf scout came over. Thinking that the other was going to steal his beast leg, he immediately protected it fiercely and looked at the other with sharp eyes.
"This is mine, you can choose something else, but if you dare..."
However, the other side wasn't after the fleshy legs; he bypassed them and went to the beast's crotch.
What are you going to do?
The wolf scout was a little confused. Why was the other side going for his crotch instead of his plump legs?
The wolf scout then drew his long sword from his waist and slashed hard at the beast's crotch, pulling out a bloody object amidst curious glances from the sidelines.
The wolf scout held the object to his chest, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and he shouted repeatedly:
"Good good!"
"This looks like a highly nutritious food!"
"Offer it to the King...hehehe..."
The wolf scout, who was holding the meat leg, was filled with regret upon seeing this scene. He hated himself for being so short-sighted. He had heard that tiger penis was a great tonic. Although this beast was not a tiger, it had the shape of one. Given its size, this one must also be a treasure. He had actually given up that and chosen a meat leg instead.
"Um...brother..."
"Um?"
"Let's trade. I'll give you this big piece of meat in exchange for your little piece. I'll reluctantly part with it so you can make a profit."
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No!"
"Monster, hand over that thing!"
"Damn it! You still want to fight? Take this Kun-character slash!"
At the same time, a wolf scout who had already cut the meat suddenly walked forward, climbed onto a rock, and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance.
"Look!"
