Chapter 110: Fierce Beast Attack
Su Ran was still keeping her foot stepped on the shovel, not daring to move a bit.
From the gaps in the shrubbery, it was clear that this animal’s body was not small.
At least as big as an adult four-eared ox.
Now this animal’s position was very close to Su Ran, only three or four meters away.
Su Ran felt that as long as it made one leap, it could pounce onto her body, then “crunch!” and bite through her neck!
She quietly swallowed, her gaze locked with this beast’s eyes, yet she didn’t dare to shift it even a fraction!
For animals, shifting one’s gaze during a standoff represents showing weakness and wanting to escape.
It is a sign of fear!
And for predators, this kind of fear precisely indicates that this prey is weak and can be treated as food.
At this moment, Su Ran felt that the arm holding the entrenching tool had become ice-cold and numb from extreme fear.
She shouted Hui’s name with all her might in her heart, yet on the surface, she didn’t dare show even the slightest change in expression!
It was only a few seconds, but in Su Ran’s senses, it felt as slow as if years had passed.
She could only hold her breath and continue the standoff with the beast.
And in these slow few seconds, Su Ran felt that she seemed to see hesitation and uncertainty in this beast’s reddish-brown eyes.
Almost in a flash, Su Ran thought of the reason for this beast’s hesitation!
Her body had Hui’s scent!
The existence of beastmen puts most animals in the forest in the position of the hunted.
Even some beasts that look very ferocious are no exception.
So this beast was afraid of Hui’s scent, but didn’t want to give up the delicious food right in front of it!
And at that moment, this animal suddenly made an action!
Its original action was crouching on the ground with its four limbs slightly bent, but now it suddenly slowly stood up on its hind legs.
This was the action of preparing to attack.
Su Ran almost decided the moment she saw it move.
She gritted her teeth, preparing to turn and run toward Hui.
She had confidence in Hui’s speed; as long as she could make some noise, Hui could fly to her side immediately!
But the premise was that she had to try to put distance between herself and this beast, not get slapped to the ground by it right at the start!
But what Su Ran didn’t expect was that before she could turn, the situation in front of her suddenly took a complete one-hundred-eighty-degree turn!
The beast that had been posing to attack the previous second suddenly, as if seeing something terrifying, flattened its ears back almost against its head!
Its fur all over its body bristled up, and at the same time, a miserable howl filled with fear and terror came from its mouth, its massive body turning around in an instant to escape.
And in that instant, a wolf howl that pierced the clouds came from behind Su Ran like a long sword!
This beast cry dragged a long tail tone, the anger in the voice almost permeating the entire forest.
The next second, Su Ran only felt a black shadow flash before her eyes, followed by a miserable beast cry accompanied by a huge thud of a heavy object falling in front!
The shrubbery in front shook violently a few times, Su Ran clearly heard the sound of several hard objects breaking, then a gush of fresh red blood sprayed onto the shrubbery leaves like ink!
“Roar!!!!”
Hui’s angry roar came from behind the shrubbery!
This roar was completely different from its usual normal wolf howl.
In human ears, it only felt full of bloodthirsty warnings! Fierce and cold!
The beast whose full appearance Su Ran hadn’t even seen clearly was completely knocked down by Hui’s strike behind the shrubbery and never got up again.
And after knocking it down, Hui didn’t stop there!
Su Ran stood outside the shrubbery, listening to the beast’s final wails from inside, only seeing the shrubbery shake violently a few more times before going completely still!
Then, a few seconds later, a hand covered in blood stretched out from behind the shrubbery, pushing the shrubs aside.
Su Ran was stunned looking at Hui covered in blood!
The bloodstains on its body stretched intermittently from its face all the way to its legs.
The mottled bloodstains made its angular face look bewitching and dangerous, at first glance full of murderous aura, even the hair strands exuding killing intent.
Having just dealt with a fierce beast in anger, when Hui walked over, the killing aura on its body hadn’t had time to subside.
Su Ran was startled by Hui in this state, but never felt afraid.
In fact, even at the very beginning, the instant Hui flew over and brushed past her, she had already relaxed, unconsciously letting out a sigh of relief.
And at this time, after walking toward Su Ran, Hui pulled her forcefully into its embrace.
Its chest was still heaving vigorously.
Heavy panting sounded above Su Ran’s head, and as she looked up, lips suddenly descended and pressed down hard on her.
The kiss and gentle face-rubbing ritual came as expected, Su Ran quietly accepted Hui’s comfort, her hand touching its bulging chest muscles to feel its rapid heartbeat.
Actually, it might have been more frightened than she was!
Hui held Su Ran close for a good while before slowly releasing her.
Then it lowered its head to look into Su Ran’s eyes, instinctively “Ao wu~~”ing, before saying to Su Ran: “Ran Ran, don’t go far, there are fierce beasts!”
Previously, beastmen had hunted fierce beast-like animals to eat, so Su Ran had taught Hui the pronunciation of “fierce beast.”
This time Su Ran obediently nodded; she had indeed been careless!
She hadn’t expected that just being less than twenty meters away from Hui would lead to an attack.
Fortunately, this time Hui was close; if it had been far, even if Hui flew fast, by the time it arrived, her neck would have been broken!
Thinking of this, Su Ran suddenly remembered the licking face ritual Hui had always given her before.
Licking fur and rubbing close between animals can transfer scents to each other.
So, was the licking action Hui always liked doing on her also for the purpose of leaving its scent on her body?
Thinking of this, Su Ran suddenly began to regret her previous decision to stop Hui’s licking face ritual.
After all, compared to survival, those little awkwardnesses and habits were nothing!
Once the frightened moods of the person and the beast had calmed down, Su Ran pulled away from Hui’s embrace, took Hui’s hand, went around the shrubbery to the back to see what this fierce beast looked like.
And upon seeing it, even though she had mentally prepared herself beforehand, Su Ran couldn’t help but feel a bit nauseous at the animal’s current state.
This animal’s head had already been severed.
Su Ran looked carefully at the beast’s face and felt it should count as a feline animal.
Round face, pointed ears, fangs in its mouth.
But it had a pair of pointed horns on its head.
And its fur, like its eyes, was reddish-brown, with a long tail behind its buttocks that grew darker toward the tip until turning black.
Probably because she ate food from Hui’s hunts every day, seeing such a bloody scene now, Su Ran felt a bit nauseous but wasn’t really afraid.
Her gaze fell on this beast’s body.
The four limbs on its body were broken at strange angles, covered in bloodstains even on the reddish-brown fur.
But the fur looked intact.
Su Ran hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of the new style fur, pointing at the beast corpse on the ground and looking up at Hui:
“Hui, keep the animal hide, is the meat edible?”
