Chapter 50: A Huo
After that fox-type beastman gave the flowers to its already deceased companion, it slowly retreated two steps.
Then it took a breath, raised its head, and let out a long, thin cry toward the sky: “Ying ying ying ying ying ying~~~”
Immediately following, the beastmen in the open space also raised their heads, letting out a series of various long howls toward the sky, some “Roar~~~” or “Wu wu wu wu.”
This cry was long and clear, seeming to pierce straight to the clouds.
However, what surprised Su Ran was that she didn’t seem to hear much sadness in these cries.
This cry instead seemed more like a magnanimous farewell.
She turned her head to look at Grey beside her, who was also raising his head and continuously letting out long “Ao wu ao wu~” cries from his mouth.
Her peripheral vision flashed, and she seemed to see the tail behind this werewolf swaying slightly.
The beastmen’s moods didn’t seem affected at all by the passing of a companion.
Su Ran observed carefully for a while longer and found that even that elderly fox-type female looked only reluctant, but not sad.
After a long cry that seemed to signify farewell ended, four beastmen with wings walked out from the crowd.
They walked to the tree trunk holding the deceased leopard-type beastman, bent down, and together lifted the tree trunk.
Then under Su Ran’s widened gaze, they spread their wings and suddenly flew into the sky carrying the tree trunk.
At the same time, the other beastmen also began to stir.
They followed the four beastmen carrying the deceased old beastman who had flown away, either by flying or by running and jumping, chasing in the direction they flew.
And at that moment, the red fox male beastman she had seen on the first day she arrived here suddenly appeared beside Su Ran and the werewolf, unnoticed when.
It excitedly wagged its large tail behind, first happily glanced at Su Ran, then called out to Grey beside it.
Su Ran was instantly made scalp-tingling by that glance full of charm.
This male beastman was really excessively good-looking!
It truly lived up to the beauty and personality that came with fox genes.
If the beastmen here already had much more refined appearances than ordinary humans, then the fox-type beastmen’s appearances were absolutely the ceiling among these beastmen.
Su Ran felt that so far, only that day’s peacock beastman’s appearance could compare with it.
She looked at the fox-type beastman’s fiery, beautiful large tail and decided to name this male beastman A Huo.
A Huo’s skin was a bit whiter than Grey’s, but his build was clearly a bit more slender.
However, that slenderness was only relative to the beastmen.
After living here for a while, Su Ran gradually discovered that the beastmen’s body shapes matched the characteristics of the animal species they bore.
Beastmen with features of slightly larger animals like tigers, lions, cattle, horses, bears, etc., had body shapes obviously much more powerful and robust than werewolves, fox-type beastmen, and cat beastmen.
If Grey and A Huo’s builds were the lean and muscular type, then these beastmen with large beast features were mostly more burly.
Even the comparison among female beastmen was the same.
Of course, these appearances that were god-like to Su Ran might be very ordinary to the beastmen.
Like at this moment, Grey beside Su Ran exerted force and tossed the stone pot in his hand to the fox-type beastman in front of him.
A Huo seemed to be prepared.
He reached out steadily to catch the stone pot the werewolf threw, shook it in his hand as if feeling its weight.
Then he looked up and called “Ying ying ying” twice to Grey.
They should be conversing.
Su Ran watched Grey, who also called “Ao wu ao wu” twice in response to A Huo, and guessed.
A Huo, having received the reply, grinned happily at the werewolf, glanced at Su Ran again, called “Ying ying” twice to Su Ran, then turned around, held the stone pot upside down above his head, and ran off bouncing and jumping.
Su Ran then realized that this beastman seemed to be going to the seaside too.
Otherwise, the werewolf who already knew they were going to the seaside wouldn’t have given it the stone pot Su Ran was bringing.
While she was still gazing at the fox-type beastman’s receding back and thinking, the werewolf beside her had already taken the basket from her hand with one hand and pulled her into his embrace with the other.
Then he lowered his hand and patted Su Ran’s butt, his gaze at Su Ran pure and clear: “Ran Ran, Grey, go seaside.”
“Mm.”
Su Ran nodded, just about to move, when she suddenly remembered something.
Seaside?
She surprisedly looked up in the direction the beastmen had gone, so the deceased beastman was to be buried at the seaside?
She hurriedly reached out to hug Grey’s neck, but hesitated and didn’t wrap her legs around his waist again.
It was really that the fabric was too thin, too easy to arouse the werewolf’s reaction!
Su Ran and Grey were almost the last among the beastmen to set off following.
The werewolf flapped his wings and chased hard for a while, slowing down when he reached the end of the group.
At this time, Su Ran was being carried by the werewolf flying in mid-air, with more than twenty other beastmen with wings flying around her.
She looked down at the ground below and saw the other non-flying beastmen continuously leaping and running quickly through the woods below.
And though they were running, their speed was not slower at all than the beastmen flying in the sky.
Su Ran also spotted A Huo holding the stone pot at the tail of the group.
Mainly because his current appearance was too comical.
From afar, one could see a person holding a large round stone racing along the ground.
His red tail behind also flashed intermittently between the verdant sea of trees due to its bright color.
Moreover, his posture holding the stone pot never changed.
Su Ran worried that when he arrived, his arm held high with effort would be stuck and unable to lower.
She figured the werewolf must have made a transaction with A Huo, so A Huo came to help carry the stone pot.
And the transaction item was very likely food…
The place where the beastmen finally landed was a bit unexpected to Su Ran.
Because the landing spot wasn’t flat ground, but the mountainside of the mountain Su Ran had wanted to climb to the top of that day but hadn’t.
There was a cave at the mountainside.
From the sky looking down, the cave couldn’t be seen.
Because its entrance was blocked by a large stone.
At this moment, several burly and robust beastmen walked forward together and pushed open a gap in the huge stone blocking the entrance, which was two meters wide and three meters high.
Su Ran was truly shocked; whether this stone as big as a wall was originally there, or if the beastmen specially found or even dug it out just to block this cave entrance.
She watched four or five burly beastmen gradually move the stone aside bit by bit.
And as the stone was pushed open bit by bit, a faint sound of wind slowly came from inside the cave…
