Sleeping Outdoors

Seeing that Tan Tu had safely defeated the deep-water giant crocodile, Su Ce felt a little relieved. He sighed and sat on the ground.

 Tan Tu also shook his head and spat out the blood in his mouth.

 At this moment, Su Ce suddenly heard the sound of wind in his ears – “Boom!”

 Then there was a high-pitched falling sound. Su Ce was startled and looked back suddenly!  Only then did he realize that in the pit about two meters away from him, there was a giant brown bear that had stepped on the covered turf and was pulling at the wall of the pit with its paws while sinking in vain…

 The bear’s body was very heavy, causing it to fall very quickly. However, the pit was not very deep, and only just up to its neck. As soon as it roared, it realized that there was no other arrangement in the pit, so it raised its palm again, swiped again and again with its left hand, and quickly shattered the earth wall on the edge!

 Su Ce hurriedly raised the scimitar in his hand and threw it at the bear’s head with all his strength – the strength he gained after entering this world allowed him to successfully hit the bear’s head with the knife. Unfortunately, although it hit the bear’s face but it didn’t hurt it at all, but bounced back…

 The bear was enraged. It roared repeatedly, and the movements of its paws became more intense.

 The trap is getting bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it seems that it will soon become extremely wide. At that time, the brown bear only needs to step on the fallen soil with its feet, and then it can raise its body and jump out of the pit——

 By then, Su Ce will be in danger!

 But, this bear doesn’t have that chance.

 Because Tan Tu noticed this as early as when the trap made a loud sound. He turned around and pounced in his lion form that had not yet changed!

 Su Ce only felt a huge shadow passing by him, followed by a thundering lion’s roar. He opened his eyes wide and saw the majestic golden lion rushing past like golden lightning!

 The lion came behind the giant bear and knocked it down without any ceremony!

 The lion bit the side of the giant bear’s neck from behind. The main artery was instantly bit open and blood flowed out. The brown bear let out a scream and struggled vigorously, but the lion held its body with its huge claws.  And the sharp teeth dug deeper into its flesh… Finally, the giant bear stopped moving.

 Su Ce realized that he had been holding his breath just now, and now that he realized it, his body was a little weak. There was cold sweat on his forehead and back… This world is indeed full of dangers!

 Only then did he realize how insignificant the efforts made by females—especially a native man like him, who was not even comparable to females—were under the threat of a wild beast.

 I am very reluctant… but there is no other way.

 This is just a fact.

 Su Ce smiled bitterly in his heart.

 With his little strength – which is probably not inferior to any man on earth who has not been trained in fighting – even if he used all his strength, he wouldn’t even break the skin of any beast.

 And he finally understood why females need to learn traps. 

Of course, females usually don’t encounter any trouble in the tribe, but once they go out, even if there are males around, they may not be able to cover everything – for example, when the males were fighting just now, they would inevitably be distracted.

 At this time, the role of traps is very important.

 Traps do not exist to destroy wild beasts and enemies, because short-term and rough production cannot achieve this purpose, and there is no need to make traps that are too dangerous in places where you will stay for a short time. The only purpose of traps is to buy time.

 Just like today’s big pit, it can only trap the beast that comes to attack the female for a few minutes, and these few minutes are enough for the male to know the situation here and come over.

 Although it is only a few minutes… for the female, it is enough time to delay her life.

 Tan Tu pulled out his fangs, shook his fur and jumped out of the pit, suddenly turning into his human form. Then he reached out and grabbed the fur on the back of the brown bear’s neck, pulled it out with force, and threw it to the ground.

 Su Ce exhaled, took off the leather bag from his waist, and handed it to Tan Tu, who was walking over.

 When Tan Tu saw that it was water that Su Ce had filled before leaving, he pulled out the cap and poured it into his mouth. He rinsed his mouth once, spit out the blood, and then rinsed his mouth again until the smell of blood in his mouth faded away.  .

 Well, actually, it had never been this troublesome before when he was hunting, but Ah Ce didn’t like it, so he had no choice but to change it.

 After rinsing his mouth, Tan Tu looked at Su Ce and showed a big smile, “Ah Ce, the mission is complete!”

 Su Ce squeezed his leg and found that he no longer felt weak. He stood up, walked over and rubbed Tan Tu’s long golden hair, and said with a smile, “Tan Tu, you did a good job.”

 Tan Tu became even happier instantly.

 Then it’s time to pack up the prey, because the two of them have to go elsewhere to look for senior, so bulky things can’t be carried around casually – it’s not good for safety, right?

 Su Ce picked up the scimitar, handed it to Tan Tu, and then followed him to the body of the deep-water giant crocodile.

 Tan Tu rummaged around the giant crocodile’s body with his hands and grabbed a ball with tendons floating on the surface. It was bulging and blue-purple, and when he squeezed it, it looked like there was water. It was the gallbladder of the deep-water giant crocodile. He cut along the top with a knife, took out the gallbladder, wrapped it in a piece of animal skin and tied it around Su Ce’s waist. ^[1]Disgustingggg

 He himself may turn into a lion form from time to time, which is really inconvenient.

 This crocodile meat is too old and is not edible. The other parts are either bulky or too hard and cannot be taken away, so it is useless. However, Tan Tu still cut an empty skin bag and filled it with a bag of crocodile blood for his use.

 The two of them didn’t plan to stay here for a long time. It was getting dark and they had to find a safer place to spend the night.

 And Tan Tu also knew that although Su Ce seemed to be fine, he was actually quite frightened today…

 So he dragged the giant bear’s body, held Su Ce’s hand with his other clean and bloodless hand, and walked in the other direction smelling the smell of the water source.

 Fortunately, there seems to be a lot of water sources in this world.

 Tan Tu quickly found a small lake, only about ten meters in diameter. It was more like a relatively large puddle than a lake. He didn’t know why it hadn’t dried up yet.

 But it’s just right.

 Tan Tu refilled the previously empty skin bag with water and handed it to Su Ce, “Ah Ce, just drink a little while you’re here.”

 Since he was in the wild, Su Ce would not be as particular as he was at home. Seeing that the water in the lake was quite clear, he took it and drank some.

  …Fortunately, there is no peculiar smell.

 After that, Tan Tu circled around Su Ce.

Taking some necessary protective measures, Tan Tu slowly poured out the crocodile blood he had just received, and drew a circle around the area to let the smell escape. He also poured the urine in the bear’s bladder a little further away to outline a territory.

 This will give other beasts a certain sense of threat – it is okay if Tan Tu turns into a golden lion and pees a little, but Tan Tu is somewhat embarrassed because of Ah Ce’s presence…

 After doing this, Tan Tu’s body was also filled with a lot of messy smells. Before Su Ce said anything, he had already consciously used a skin bag to draw water and washed his hands – he had used it as a shower. He didn’t want Ah Ce to be unhappy.  

 Su Ce also consciously went to pick up the scimitar to clean up the bear corpse. He thought that they would be camping here at night, and Tan Tu had a big appetite, so this bear meat would probably be enough for them.

 By the time they gathered nearby branches to set up a fire, it was already getting dark.

 Tan Tu leaned against the tree next to him, looking at Su Ce’s busy work under the firelight, and felt very peaceful.

The same goes for Su Ce.

 It was too thrilling during the day. Although the battle was short, it was something he could never forget.

 This was one of the more terrifying times that Tan Tu fought. Even though it seemed like an overwhelming victory, Su Ce knew that when he was on the wooden board, Tan Tu only needed to fail to seize the opportunity – or to say that he did not restrict it from the beginning.  If the crocodile’s mouth moved, the board will soon be broken by the giant crocodile, and Tan Tu himself will fall into the swamp…

 When that time comes, Tan Tu will be the one who dies.

 When he thought of this, he felt indescribable fear.

 Habitually, he turned over the large piece of bear meat that he was cooking. The piece of meat suddenly made a sizzling sound, and the meat oil dripped down. When it hit the fire, the flames suddenly rose and fell quickly again.

 Bear meat is very rich…

 Not long after, the bear meat was cooked. Su Ce gave the roasted meat to Tan Tu to reward him, and then started to cook his own. Tan Tu sat next to Su Ce, stretched out his hand to tear off a small piece of meat, and fed it into Su Ce’s mouth first.

 Su Ce turned his head and smiled at him, then continued the work at hand.

 When both of them were full, the bear only had some not-so-good meat and bones left. Tan Tu rinsed his mouth again and saw the subtle look of mental exhaustion on Su Ce’s eyebrows.  Exhausted, he straightened up and transformed into a huge lion, lying down next to the fire.

 Su Ce looked at him, “Are you going to sleep like this today?”

 Tan Tu nodded. Only in this way can his Ah Ce be warmer.

 Su Ce also understood Tan Tu’s intentions. He placed a few stones around the fire to prevent the wind from blowing the fire around. Then he walked in front of the lion Tan Tu and leaned against him.

 Tan Tu carefully put him between his front legs and slowly closed his eyes.
