Chapter 35: Fighting
Su Ran found the dwarf deer hide from that night that had been placed in the water in the river. Due to prolonged soaking, the hide that had fully absorbed water felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in her hand.
She took the deer hide out of the water, threw in the white-headed sheep hide left from yesterday and the hide peeled from that four-eared ox, and pressed a large stone on top to ensure the animal hides were fully submerged in the water.
The dwarf deer hide still had some oil and fat from when it was peeled off, but after soaking in the river water, it had become pale and soft.
In comparison, the white-headed sheep hide and four-eared ox hide peeled by the werewolf were much cleaner, almost ready to be processed after just a rinse.
The aroma of roast beef on the river beach had already wafted out, and after being marinated with various fruits and salt, its allure to the beastmen doubled.
So the beastmen who had just returned from hunting early in the morning to the river beach smelled this scent and couldn’t control their steps, turning around and walking over here one after another.
Facing the increasingly gathering beastmen, the werewolf walked behind Su Ran and softly called to her: “Ran Ran…”
At this time, Su Ran was squatting on the ground, using a tactical knife to scrape off the fat on the animal hide bit by bit.
Hearing the werewolf’s voice, she turned her head and saw more than a dozen beastmen already standing in a row far behind her.
At this moment, seeing Su Ran turn her head, their eyes all lit up “whoosh” at the same time, and some who couldn’t hold back directly strode up to Su Ran in a few steps.
The cat tail behind this beastman was standing straight up, and he looked at Su Ran and softly meowed like he was acting cute: “Meow~”
Su Ran: So, so cute! I really want to pet him!
This was her first time facing a male feline beastman at such close range!
Compared to the canine beastmen’s more rugged and robust appearance.
Feline beastmen, regardless of male or female, exuded an ultimate sense of softness from head to toe.
Especially the male cat beastman in front of her, with a pair of black-and-white little triangular ears on top of his head.
The short and wide ear shape looked twice as cute compared to the werewolf’s long and narrow ears.
Not to mention the cat youth’s fair and tender little face, with two pink blushes on his cheeks, making him look even more delectable!
Su Ran looked at the little cat person in front of her who gave off a soft and glutinous feeling at first glance, her inner cat addiction gradually bubbling up. She couldn’t hold back, raised her hand and waved slightly at the cat person: “Little kitty, hello…”
She unconsciously softened her voice, the fondness in her tone very obvious.
However, in her excitement, she overlooked the very petty werewolf beside her.
So the cat beastman, seeing Su Ran’s response, lit up with joy. He opened his mouth to meow, but before it could come out, he was suddenly kicked hard into the water from the side by a sturdy thigh!
Although the cat beastman looked cute, it didn’t mean he had a petite build.
At least in Su Ran’s estimation, not only the werewolf and the cat beastman, but all the other male beastmen here were over 1.9 meters tall.
And even the female beastmen, the shortest like Xiao Ju, was 1.75 meters tall.
Among such heights, Su Ran’s 1.7-meter height made her look like she was still underage.
Of course, if she hadn’t seen that Xiao Ju was a pair with the lion beastman living in the tree opposite the werewolf’s bird’s nest, Su Ran would have suspected Xiao Ju was an underage beastman too.
At this moment, the tall cat youth was kicked into the river water by the werewolf without any defense.
Only a miserable “Meow ao!!” was heard, and the river surface exploded with a huge splash, making a “thud!” sound.
Then, before Su Ran could react, the cat beastman in the river had already leaped up and rushed back to the riverbank.
At the same time, the werewolf was not to be outdone, and in the instant of retracting his leg, he was already charging at the cat person in the river again.
Soon after, water splashed at the riverside, accompanied by heart-wrenching miserable cries from time to time!
Su Ran was scared stunned in place.
The scene in front of her was too shocking; the werewolf’s anger could be felt even across several meters of river water.
She even started to randomly worry if the werewolf would become dissatisfied with her after the fight.
She suddenly realized that until now, she still couldn’t confirm whether the werewolf brought her back because he considered her a companion.
If so, then the fondness she had just shown toward the cat beastman might equal in the werewolf’s eyes—
Her female had become unfaithful.
How would the beastmen treat disloyal companions?
Su Ran clenched her hand, feeling a bit afraid inside.
At the same time, she felt a little regretful.
These past two days, the werewolf’s obedience and care had made her forget that this was a primitive beastman world.
Making her lower her guard too early after arriving in this world not long ago.
And while Su Ran was stunned in place full of worry, she suddenly felt someone grab her wrist.
She was startled and turned around abruptly, then saw Xiao Ju standing beside her at some point, her pair of golden cat-eye big eyes full of excitement looking at her.
Su Ran was stunned, then heard Xiao Ju softly “mi wu” at her, and said: “Ran Ran.”
Xiao Ju cat’s voice was sweet and soft. Su Ran was pulled by Xiao Ju to the campfire side, where she saw a red-skinned pig lying on the edge of the campfire that hadn’t stopped breathing yet.
That’s right, a real red-skinned pig.
This animal had the exact same shape as a pig, but its back fur was red.
Xiao Ju pointed at the red-skinned pig on the ground, “mi wu mi wu” meowed twice at Su Ran, then tilted her head expectantly looking at her.
But Su Ran had no mind for food exchange at this time.
She looked toward the riverbank still churning with waves, a bit worried.
Worried if the werewolf and cat person would fight to the death.
Also worried if something really happened, whether she could still survive here.
However, right after, she realized that the only one worrying about the battle over there seemed to be herself.
Because not even two seconds after she turned to look at the riverbank, Xiao Ju turned her gaze back. And not just Xiao Ju, the beastmen around her also seemed to take a wait-and-see attitude toward the combat by the river.
Some even looked like they were watching the fun.
Compared to that combat, they were clearly more interested in Su Ran, or rather the gourmet food Su Ran brought.
So before Su Ran could react, she was surrounded by a large group of beastmen of various appearances, all super-standard handsome guys and beautiful women types.
And while she was at a loss facing the beastmen in front of her meowing “meow meow,” ao wu-ing, and barking “woof woof,” suddenly a extremely sharp and piercing “Ao~!” came by her ear.
Then her arm sank, and her whole body was suddenly pulled out of the beastmen’s encirclement!
