Traveling through the world of beasts, various big guys are chasing after your pets!

Seeing Xing Ci stop, He Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to say something, Xing Ci suddenly approached and snatched the dagger from her hand.

"He Jiaojiao, do you care so much about those losers? They can't protect you at all!"

He Jiaojiao struggled in panic, but the difference in strength between the two was too great.

"Stop moving!"

Xing Ci's voice became hoarse, as if he was trying hard to hold back something. Did this female understand that by struggling in his arms like this, she was basically igniting a fire!

After all, He Jiaojiao was not a newcomer to the world of beasts. Xing Ci's reaction immediately made her react, and she quickly stopped her actions.

"Okay... I can choose not to kill them, but you have to obey!"

Xing Ci released the hand that was restraining He Jiaojiao and sighed as if he had compromised.

Thinking that there was no way to escape this maze, it would be better to wait for Mo Ran and the others to follow the beast print and come over. Then, with the help of the inside and outside, there would still be a chance of escape. He Jiaojiao obediently walked to the place where she had just been lying and sat down.

The air fell into an eerie silence. After a long time, He Jiaojiao covered her stomach and looked up at Xing Ci.

"I...I'm hungry!"

He Jiaojiao said a little embarrassedly that she did eat enough in the evening, but then she consumed a lot at the bonfire party, and then she had sex with Bamboo Bear... so she had basically consumed most of it. Although she didn't know how much time had passed, He Jiaojiao felt so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.

Xing Ci then remembered that females are delicate and cannot go for several days without eating after just one meal, unlike him.

"Wait for me, I'll be right back!"

Xing Ci stood up and walked towards the cave entrance. He suddenly stopped and looked back at He Jiaojiao. "You can't escape from here. Wait for me to come back."

He Jiaojiao nodded. Xing Ci felt relieved by the well-behaved girl.

But what Xing Ci didn't expect was that just after he turned into a big snake and left, He Jiaojiao crouched down and left the cave again. This time, He Jiaojiao chose the left when she encountered a fork in the road, but unexpectedly, in the end, she still returned to the cave.

She tried several times, each time choosing a different path, but she still ended up back here. Half an hour later, He Jiaojiao gave up. She resigned herself to her fate and lay down on the hay, staring blankly at the stone wall above her head.

Not long after He Jiaojiao lay down, Xing Ci came back with a bleating sheep in his hand. When he had observed He Jiaojiao before, he knew that he liked the meat of this animal very much.

Xing Ci worked very efficiently. In a short while, he had completely peeled off the skin of the bleating sheep. Then, he washed the meat with the groundwater that came out from the back of the cave, skewered it with branches, and roasted it over the fire.

He Jiaojiao sat quietly by the side, watching Xing Ci busying around.

Putting everything else aside, Xing Ci was indeed an exceptional male. While it wasn't clear what star level he was, based on their last battle, he was clearly more formidable than his companions. Furthermore, as a beast, he was also incredibly affectionate. He Jiaojiao couldn't possibly be so kind to someone who had once stabbed her with a dagger.

But he is a stray beast. Everyone in the animal world knows that stray beasts are basically extremely vicious, so no one wants to deal with stray beasts.

"The meat is ready, come and eat!"

Xing Ci handed the roasted meat to He Jiaojiao, but He Jiaojiao didn't take it. He Jiaojiao looked at the charred meat in front of her, which was not even recognizable as meat, and she really didn't know how to eat it.

Seeing that He Jiaojiao didn't take it, Xing Ci looked at the meat in his hand.

Well...it does not look good!

But he has always eaten raw meat directly. This is his first time grilling meat, so it is normal that he can't control the heat well!

"As you can see, you can't take care of a female!"

He Jiaojiao picked up a new skewer of meat and sat next to Xing Ci to grill it.

Xing Ci's expression suddenly changed, and he snatched the skewers from He Jiaojiao's hand. "I can learn if I don't know how. I'm smart and I'll be able to learn it quickly."

He Jiaojiao laughed, "So, until you learn how to do it, are you planning on keeping me hungry?"

Now it was Xingci's turn to be speechless.

He Jiaojiao picked up another skewer of meat and grilled it while teaching Xingci what to pay attention to, such as when to turn it over, how long to grill it before sprinkling salt on it, and so on.

Just as Xing Ci said, he was indeed very smart. He Jiaojiao only taught him once and he learned it.

"Come and try it!"

Looking at Xing Ci looking at him nervously and expectantly, it was impossible to connect him with a bloodthirsty stray beast.

This was the first time He Jiaojiao looked at Xing Ci so seriously. He actually had very handsome facial features, but for some reason, he seemed to have deliberately grown his hair very long, covering most of his face.

"Can you tell me how you became a stray beast?"

He Jiaojiao took the skewer of meat from Xing Ci's hand and took a bite.

Xing Ci was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.

When Xing Ci was very young, he also lived in a large tribe. He had a pair of loving parents and they lived a very happy life together. But suddenly one day, Xing Ci came back from playing outside and found that the cave he lived in was in a mess and blood was everywhere.

He hurried out to look for it, and finally found his father in a forest. However, his mother was inside his mouth, with only her lower body outside. If it weren't for the father's beast mark on her ankle, Xing Ci wouldn't have believed that person was his mother.

Xing Ci rushed over and beat the father beast, trying to rescue his mother, but was swung by the father beast's tail and fell unconscious.

When he woke up again, the people in the tribe told him that it was his father who ate his mother and then escaped.

Xing Ci refused to believe it, but he couldn't deceive himself. He saw his mother appear in the father beast's mouth with his own eyes.

The tribe felt sorry for him and kept him in the tribe. However, the other tribe members secretly called him a lowly creature and called his father a disgusting beast who actually devoured his own females. As a result, Xing Ci got into a fight with them and was eventually kicked out of the tribe.

After being driven out, Xing Ci nearly died many times, but he still managed to survive. He even became stronger and stronger, to the point where he could easily crush others.

"Did you ever go back to your original tribe?"

He Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.

"Of course!" Xing Ci sneered, a smile that made people feel terrified. "I'll go back and kill them all."

This sentence made He Jiaojiao feel like she was falling into a cold pond. She felt cold all over. She didn't understand how Xing Ci could say such cruel words so calmly.

"But they're not wrong, are they? Even if you want to avenge your mother, you should go after your father, not those innocent people in the tribe."

"Do you think they are innocent?" Xing Ci suddenly pressed forward, his aura so strong that He Jiaojiao felt like she could hardly breathe.
