Leaving The Tribe
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the square in front of the altar. Patriarch Sata and the top leaders of other tribes came to offer sacrifices in front of the statue of the beast god. Afterwards, the males who decided to participate in the hunting day took their partners and stepped forward with firm expressions.
The females all changed into leather clothes in order to protect themselves from harm as much as possible during subsequent hunting. The males’ clothing are nothing special, probably because they have sharp weapons after transforming into beast form. The females are only allowed to wear sharp knives on their waists – in order for them to protect themselves and to use them as tools for survival in the wild.
They need to go to several leaders and find bamboo pieces in a wooden barrel, with the prey they need to hunt written on them. Everyone is no exception.
Tan Tu held Su Ce’s hand, and the two stood side by side in the middle of the line – because they came not too early, their ranking was not high. Tan Tu had already asked many acquaintances to help before the sacrifice began, so what he had to do next was to get the mission target first.
Su Ce looked around and made a rough estimate. There were about seven or eight hundred people participating in the hunting day. There were only one or two hundred people with females, which probably only accounted for one-third of all female-male couples. Is it because there are cubs to take care of or some other reason?
But he did see the figures of Rui Ensi and Ka Mai… It seems that Ka Mail was moved by Rui Ensi’s courtship after all.
Generally speaking, as long as you agree to be the male’s partner and share the joys and sorrows for a few days, if the male’s performance is not too bad, there will basically be no problem.
Ka Mai seemed a little embarrassed, and not used to standing in the crowd and being looked at – who made the person next to him so popular? There were even more eyes focused on him. At this time, he met Su Ce’s eyes, nodded slightly and smiled, seeming to have recovered a little.
Rui Ensi greeted the other females naturally, and then whispered in Ka Mai’s ear. He seemed to care about and protect him.
Su Ce looked away, just in time to see another acquaintance walking in front of Sata to receive the bamboo pieces. That tall, fair-skinned, sharp-looking man with long hair was none other than Ah Er Sen from the Snake Clan. He didn’t seem to have a female with him and was alone. After getting the bamboo pieces, he didn’t say hello to anyone and walked directly outside the tribe.
Tan Tu noticed his partner’s gaze, lowered his head and said, “Ah Er Sen doesn’t like anyone yet. But I told him about your brother and he will help find him when he’s done.”
…What is the connection between these two sentences? Saying it directly like this would lead to a misunderstanding.
Of course, Su Ce understood very well. Tan Tu was just explaining two different things to him.
Although Ah Er Sen is taciturn, he should be a man of great commitment. Since he agreed to Tan Tu’s request, and with his power, he will probably be able to solve the prey problem very quickly… In this case, he must be able to search a few more places.
Because of Tan Tu’s previous misunderstanding and subsequent occasional encounters, Su Ce knew more about this man, especially since he was a rare scale male among orcs full of ferocious beasts. From his personality to his appearance, he was very similar to those in the tribe. Hmm, it seems like he is always alone? I heard Tan Tu said that the other party has never pursued any female. I really don’t know what this male’s future partner will be like…
The line soon shortened, and it was time for Tan Tu to draw the bamboo pieces.
Tan Tu grabbed Su Ce’s wrist and pressed it into the barrel: “Ah Ce, come and pick it!”
He entrusted his goal to Su Ce.
Su Ce didn’t bother with him on this. He took out a piece naturally and looked up.
There are four words written on it——
“Deep-water giant crocodile.”
Tan Tu frowned for a moment.
Su Ce handed the bamboo piece to Tan Tu, feeling a little worried.
…Is it a difficult creature to deal with?
If you interpret it literally, it is deep water and huge, so it should be some kind of amphibian reptile living in the water? And maybe the skin will be very thick…
Of course, Tan Tu also noticed the change in Su Ce’s expression. Resisting the urge to rub his head with his chin, and whispered, “Ah Ce, I will protect you.”
When he said this, Su Ce became even more worried about the danger of the so-called “deep-water giant crocodile”…
But he didn’t say it, because there were voices calling his name from the crowd who didn’t participate in the hunting day. He turned around and saw Mo La and the twins.
These friends were cheering them on. Su Ce waved to them and walked outside the tribe with Tan Tu.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if there is any danger… He and Tan Tu are together anyway.
As long as the two of them are together, even if they encounter a very bad situation, it is not bad to be able to live and die together. The peaceful and happy life these days has made him very satisfied… It is almost the best period of his life.
The two walked hand in hand outside the tribe. There were many other females and males on the side, each discussing something. The single males quickly dispersed in all directions.
Tan Tu raised his hand and looked into the distance, squatted down and said to Su Ce, “Ah Ce, can I carry you on my back?” He thought for a while and then said, “Otherwise, I can princess carry you.”
…Well, this damn physique is destined to prevent him from keeping pace with Tan Tu.
Su Ce recalled the scene when he was being held by Tan Tu… and decisively chose to be carried on his back.
Just kidding, as a man from earth, if two people are alone together, it’s okay, but if it’s in public, even if everyone thinks it’s normal, he will never tolerate being princess carried. It’s the only self respect he must have.
Tan Tu had always respected Su Ce’s opinion. When Su Ce decided to ride him, he immediately let out an roar and stretched his body into a huge lion.
Standing majestically in front.
That circle of mane was as brilliant as fragments of sunshine, and like pure gold, shining in everyone’s eyes.
Su Ce missed this lion a little bit.
Since he came to this world, the first thing he saw was this lion.
Then when he was walking in the forest with fear and hesitation, this lion was also his constant companion… even though it was actually Tan Tu.
But the shape of the lion still makes him very familiar.
Unfortunately, after coming to the tribe, he rarely saw it.
Tan Tu met Su Ce’s admiring gaze. He walked over happily, rubbing his body with his huge furry lion’s head, and then stretched out his tongue to lick Su Ce’s face, and then licked Su Ce’s lips.
Hmm, it tastes very good…
Su Ce laughed dumbly.
Tan Tu, this guy, seems to go more by instinct after transforming into beast form…
But it’s very cute.
So he hugged the lion’s head and said softly: “Tan Tu, let’s go.”
After a period of training, Su Ce’s movements were much more agile than that of the former office worker in the office. No, he could easily climb onto Tan Tu’s back, instead of like when the two of them first met when he had to be carefully lifted up by Tan Tu… It was worth celebrating.
After sitting firmly on Tan Tu’s back, Su Ce carefully grabbed a handful of the mane on Tan Tu’s body and wrapped it around his wrist several times. And because there is no saddle, the requirements for leg strength are also very high – he has to clamp Tan Tu’s back very hard and bend down as much as possible in order to barely guarantee that he will not be thrown off by the flying Tan Tu later.
Although Tan Tu would be very careful even in this situation, he did not want to become a burden to Tan Tu at all.
Even if you still need protection at some point, you should do something that doesn’t cause too much trouble to your partner… With a personality like this, it may be very unlovable and unpleasant in the eyes of some people.
But this is his persistence.
Fortunately, Tan Tu didn’t dislike him at all.
After Su Ce was done, Tan Tu roared lowly. Su Ce surprisingly felt that he understood. Perhaps he was saying, “Ah Ce, are you ready?”
Su Ce grabbed Tan Tu tightly, buried himself entirely in his long hair, and said, “Ready, Tan Tu.”
Then, this huge golden lion rushed out like a sharp arrow from the string!
The strong wind whistled in his ears, and the speed was so fast that Su Ce found it difficult to breathe. He had no choice but to get closer and closer to Tan Tu, allowing himself to find some breathing space in the warm long hair.
He couldn’t speak as the wind would rush into his mouth. He couldn’t move because he was already feeling the bumps. He couldn’t relax at all, because… he couldn’t let Tan Tu worry about him.
Su Ce gradually went from being full of thoughts to being completely focused. He could feel the fire-like heat flowing in his veins – he and Tan Tu seemed to have become one body while running like this.
