Chapter 256 The Growth of the Cubs
Chapter 256 The Growth of the Cubs
Outside the city, it was raining heavily.
The sound of rain drowned out the movement of the strange beasts. Bai Qing and Shu Shu, who had turned into beasts, hid in the grass. They had never felt so uncomfortable before.
However, Yunxi and the others did not move, so the two cubs had no choice but to follow suit and remain motionless.
Until an arrow suddenly shot towards her without warning, Shushu subconsciously wanted to dodge away, but the words that Yunxi and the others had told her popped up in her mind as if they had taken root.
"During this hunt, you don't have to do anything. Just watch carefully. Remember, no matter what happens, we will take care of it."
So, don't move.
Although she suppressed her instinct to run away, Shushu still couldn't help but shrink her head.
Then the arrow lifted the snake's head hanging above her and pierced the tree closest to the two cubs.
Leaves fell from above, and the rain still masked all movement in the forest.
The two cubs were surprised not to hear any sound.
But thinking of what the adults had told them before, they still didn't dare to raise their heads and could only look around with their eyes. Due to the limitation of their vision, they still didn't see anything unusual where they looked.
Shushu became more and more annoyed as she waited, but Bai Qing beside her was not much better than her.
Because his divine gift is wind, the male cub actually tried to control the wind around him to check what was happening around him.
Yunxi and the others had always focused on the two cubs, so they immediately noticed any small movement by Bai Qing.
Seeing that the cub was losing his patience, the one hiding behind the tree frowned slightly. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Yunxi.
The two men gestured to each other, one continued to stare at the tree, and the other prepared to approach the two cubs and protect the two impatient cubs under him.
The purpose of this hunt was to observe the performance of the two cubs outside. As we walked along, we found that the two cubs went from being unable to adapt at the beginning, throwing tantrums and sulking, to now they have learned to observe the situation and act according to the adults.
To be honest, they are indeed two smart cubs, worthy of being the cubs of the Goddess and the Young Master.
However smart they are, these two are only a little over one year old.
There's no need to be too harsh on them; it's better for the cubs to follow them and see more.
"It's me, Qi. Are Qing and Shushu tired?"
Yu lowered his voice, and after making sure they heard him, he quietly turned around and approached the two cubs.
"Woo~"
When Bai Qing and Shu Shu saw Qi Qiao approaching, both of them whimpered a little aggrievedly.
It's really uncomfortable for them to hide here on rainy days.
The two cubs have been spoiled since they were young, and this is the first time they have encountered a situation where they can do nothing.
Bai Qing felt that this was different from the way their father and Mu Fei took care of them. Their father would tell the three cubs what to do, and then let them go and guide them to solve problems when they encountered them. Mu Fei, on the other hand, liked to tell them the interests and concerns in detail, let them try it themselves, and then change and try again.
As a result, when it came into the hands of Yunxi and Yu, they were told to follow, follow, and follow again. They could do nothing but watch and not do anything.
So depressed.
But can hunting be compared to any other kind of training? One is adventure, the other is exercise.
The latter certainly gives them the opportunity to make mistakes and then correct them, but if the former makes a mistake, it will leave a shadow on the cubs.
Not to mention that compared to when they were a few months old and ran around in the forest before, they were just relaxing or hurrying on their way. Was it because Yu drove away the strange beasts around them, or was it because Bai Lan used the aura of a purple-level orc to declare his strength, making the strange beasts dare not approach?
Taking the cubs out to see and walk more is also to wait for them to become familiar with the surrounding environment and the basic rhythm of hunting. This stage will be very long, and it will take until the three cubs have memorized the environment here and are aware of any strange beasts passing by.
They can then proceed to the next step.
Otherwise, if you let the two cubs run around right away, given their nature, they will soon start crying and calling for mom and dad.
Yu Rang held the two cubs who had turned back into human form and continued to squat in the grass. The most taboo thing in hunting is impatience. It is necessary to stay calm when encountering things. Strong psychological quality is the primary factor to avoid accidents during hunting.
While Yunxi, Yu and others were helping the cubs adapt to the environment, Bai Lan led the hunting team to drive away or kill the high-level and dangerous exotic beasts nearby.
In order to create a good learning environment for the cubs, some efforts have to be made.
……
Three days later, Bai Lan and Mu Fei returned with two cubs and a large pile of high-level exotic beast meat.
Yu He and Chu Chu both greeted them happily.
"Father", "Brother", "Alan"
Yu He first hugged the two beast husbands tightly, then squatted down to check whether the two cubs were injured.
"Mother, we're fine. Yunxi and Yu never asked us to do anything."
Bai Qing looked at his mother helplessly.
My mother is good in every way except that she is a little timid. If anyone in the family has the slightest problem, she will be very worried.
Shushu also hummed in a depressed tone, agreeing with her brother's words.
After hugging her sister, she went to hug her mother's neck.
This hunt was not as fun as I had imagined. If I hadn't seen Yunxi transform into a beast and stop a pig beast in an instant, and if I hadn't seen Yu, Mu, Meng and others showing off their skills in the forest, Shushu would have really thought that this trip was not worth it at all.
Shushu was a little depressed because Yunxi and Yu didn't let her and her brother do anything.
"elder sister"
Seeing her sister hugged her, she went to hug her mother.
Chu Chu pouted, then turned to her brother and asked, "Brother, did you have fun going out this time?"
After asking about her brothers and sisters, she also wanted to share what she and her mother did at home.
She has been praised by other orcs recently, and her brothers and sisters will definitely be happy for her.
Chuchu just likes everyone to be happy together!
"It was fun! Even though we were protected by Yunxi and the others and didn't do anything, I really feel like we gained a lot this time!"
It is impossible for Bai Qing to not feel depressed at all if he is not allowed to fight.
But you can’t just look at what makes you unhappy, you also have to look at the side that makes you happy.
Bai Qing felt that this trip was indeed an eye-opener.
First of all, hunting outside is not as impressive as they imagined. There are many factors to consider. Just look at what Bai Qing and Shushu saw on the road: everyone had to prepare bows and arrows, carry all kinds of things they would need on the road, and Yunxi and Yu did some strange things when they were exploring the way.
Bai Qing felt that his eyes had been opened.
Then there were the things Yunxi and Yu had said to him and his sister on the way: what did the pigmon eat to grow? They were crouching there, and if they weren't careful, venomous snakes and insects would attack them. And how easy it would be for them to hunt with such great strength...
Bai Qing really gained a lot, and even forgot about the frustration.
Anyway, he will go out again later, and he will go out more even if he throws a tantrum.
Shushu also agreed and described in detail what they saw on the road this time, and what they both discovered and thought.
After all, it is only talk on paper that is shallow. After going out, she realized that she and her brother were not working hard enough.
Only when they become stronger can they move freely in the forest like Yunxi and Yu, and be able to deal with it calmly even if it rains heavily.
Yu He and Chu Chu listened to Shu Shu talking about what was happening outside. Even though they had not seen it with their own eyes, just hearing about it was enough to make people yearn for it.
Looking at the two cubs growing up slowly under his protection, a deep smile flashed in Bai Lan's eyes.
Mu Fei's eyes softened. He had witnessed with his own eyes how the two cubs gradually changed their ideas and attitudes during this hunt, and their eyes finally became brighter.
This is how cubs from a normal family grow up.
He also had a share of the credit, and the male felt indescribably happy and satisfied in his heart.
The two males looked at the female who was listening attentively and the other female cub. They were all family, and no one would be left out from the hunt this time.
