There were only the endless chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects in the forest. She picked up a stick and held it in her hand. Who could be sure that there was no unknown danger in the grass she passed by?

She gets extremely nervous at the slightest sign of trouble.

She had to look back from time to time, worried that orcs would chase her, and her heart was always in her throat.

I really wish I could have an animal body like the males, so that I could run on four legs and have a better chance of escaping.

Gradually she discovered a more serious problem: she didn't bring any food with her and her body couldn't hold on for long.

Fortunately, the forest was rich in resources, and various wild fruit trees could be seen everywhere, so her escape would not be made any worse.

A rustling sound coming from the grass not far away made her nervous. She dropped the half-eaten fruit in her hand, held on to the branch tightly and hid behind a tree.

I stared at the location where the sound came from without blinking. The sound only lasted about half a minute before disappearing.

After making sure there was no danger, she continued on her way carefully, holding a few fruits.

A small amount of blood slowly flowed out from the grass where the sound had just been made.

This is something Chu Xingnuo didn't notice.

Running and stopping along the way, and eating a fruit from time to time to replenish energy, really tests one's perseverance.

Fortunately, no orcs chased us and we didn’t encounter any danger on the road.

The sun is slowly setting.

She had to find a safe place to spend the night as soon as possible to avoid encountering any danger when night fell.

After walking for such a long time, she finally came out of one forest and was greeted by another forest. She could only hope that there were cute little animals living on the ancient trees. She would go and squeeze in with them.

She looked around for a tree hole.

Fortunately, her hard work paid off. She found a tree hole before it got completely dark, but it was a bit high, so it was a bit challenging to climb up.

She threw away the stick and climbed up using her hands and feet. After repeated mistakes and persistence, she successfully hid in the tree hole.

There was a grass nest in the tree hole that looked old and a little broken. She didn't care whether it was dirty or not and lay down to rest for a while.

Today can be considered the day with the most exercise in her life.

After relaxing for a while, I felt more tired. For safety reasons, I used all my strength to move the grass nest to cover most of the entrance to the tree hole.

The gap left is enough for ventilation.

She curled up and sat on the grass nest, which was only a small part left after it was folded, with her back leaning against it, as if she was sitting on a small sofa.

Why did I come to this beast-eat-beast, barbaric world? I have tried my best to adapt to this place, I didn't cry or make a fuss, and I also acted strong enough.

Why does she have to go through this? Can't she just live a simple life?

I don't know if she will faint from low blood sugar first, or be picked up by a kind orc, or be captured and then...

This time she was really broken down, crying silently and helplessly, for she was afraid that making a sound would attract some wild beast.

Crying and wiping your own tears.

The fear brought by darkness is far less than the fear in my heart now.

As she cried, she fell into a deep sleep.

Because the temperature dropped so much at night, even if I fell asleep with tears on my face, my body kept shivering.

He whooshed down from the second floor of the tree hole to a tall, blurry black shadow. His movements were very light and made no sound. He covered her with the animal skin in his hand and stuffed a large plush stuffed thing into her arms.

He touched her little face with eyes full of tenderness, then turned around and disappeared upstairs.

I had a very restless sleep, as I was plagued by nightmares and couldn't wake up even though I wanted to.

It was not until the first ray of morning light shone into the tree hole that she slowly opened her swollen eyes.

He grabbed the animal skin covering his body in astonishment. Where did this come from? !

She glanced anxiously at every corner of the tree hole. There were no orcs. Even if there were orcs coming in, she would have discovered them.

When she felt something moving in her arms, she shifted her attention to the cute mouse with its own eyeliner. It had light grey fur from head to back, and a large white belly.

This?

Flying mouse!

No wonder I didn’t feel cold last night. It turns out I was taken care of by this little cutie.

"I'm sorry for occupying your tree hole and grass nest without your consent."

The flying mouse left her arms and ran around in the cave to exercise.

She dragged her aching body to move the grass nest, put it back to its original place, and tried to leave the tree hole.

It was difficult to come up, and it would definitely not be easy to go down. There were several vines hanging down from the branches nearby.

Was there yesterday? She didn't seem to notice.

I looked carefully to make sure it was not a snake but a vine, then I went over and followed the vine down.

The moment she landed, she noticed some bloodstains on the grass. She followed the bloodstains and saw a giant beast lying there.

Not sure if it was still alive, she didn't dare approach it, but walked away to look for food.

This forest does not have as many wild fruits as the previous one, so it is a bit difficult to find them.

I finally saw a peach tree, but the peaches at the bottom were gone, only those at the top of the tree were left.

It looks to be about seven or eight meters high, and its branches are messy and not suitable for climbing.

It wouldn't be reliable to shake a tree thicker than she was.

She was thinking about how to pick it down.

Peaches began to fall from the trees.

Because she was in a daze and missed the first few, they all fell to the ground and got hurt. The peaches continued to fall, and she was lucky enough to catch two of them.

She didn't care about hygiene and started eating. After a few bites, her eyes were red.

Because an egg suddenly caught her sight.

She looked along the arm towards the owner of the hand, the corners of her eyes drooping uncontrollably and a layer of mist covering her pupils.

The cold fingertips gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.

"Why are you crying when you see me? It's like I'm angry with you. Wipe away your tears. The egg is cooked. Eat it." Xingchen considerately peeled the egg and exchanged the peach in her hand, which was one-third eaten, for the chewy bird egg.

Chu Xingnuo just stared at him blankly without eating.

Xingchen put down the vine basket, scooped her up with his long arms, and sat down against the tree: "You said you get hungry quickly if you keep eating fruits. I just cooked the eggs."

"I was just boiling an egg when you woke up and ran away. Do you know that there are dangers everywhere in the forest? You can't do it without a male."

Seeing that she didn't eat, Xingchen started to feed her.

He caught some prey in the morning and placed it under a tree for her, then remembered that the female couldn't handle the prey alone, so he went to find some eggs to boil.

If she could find food on her own and not always eat wild fruits, he could just quietly protect her and there would be no need for him to show up.

Chu Xingnuo swallowed with a feeling of grievance, and choked with every bite.

She ran away, but how come the snake didn't look angry at all?

Is this just a sign before the storm?

Seeing that she had difficulty swallowing, Xingchen stopped feeding her and put the remaining egg into his own mouth. He said calmly, "Eat this much first, slowly. There's more in the basket when you're hungry."
