Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

When it came to finding food, Xiao Hei was already a master. After years of living together, Li Xingchen had come to recognize Xiao Hei as a very intelligent black panther. Sometimes, he'd casually give commands that weren't quite instructions, but more often, he'd just talk to Xiao Hei out of habit, and Xiao Hei always understood what he meant.

What was particularly astonishing was that for prey he had hunted once or twice before, Xiao Hei could almost always accurately locate the animals' hiding places as long as Li Xingchen mentioned their names. This ability made Li Xingchen wonder: Could Xiao Hei really possess unique special skills, just like the spiritual pets described in novels?

However, as time went on, five years later, Li Xingchen gradually realized that perhaps his original idea was a bit too naive. Although Xiao Hei did show a certain degree of intelligence, it did not have any magical powers beyond imagination.

Xiao Hei is a little bigger: he eats meat.

He can understand what people say a little: He was talking to himself.

Be more agile: Black panthers seem to be agile.

……

Nothing special was discovered.

However, no matter what, Xiao Hei is Li Xingchen's most loyal companion. It is the first gift his brother gave him.

Soon, they entered a swamp. This swamp was vast and boundless, with no end in sight. In the center of the swamp flowed a winding river, the water was turbid and the bottom was out of sight.

The swamp was a tangled, chaotic web of trees and weeds, intertwined in a vast maze. The trees varied in height, some towering tens of meters into the sky, while others barely reached above a person's knees. The branches also varied in shape: some curved like bows, others straight and upright, and still others twisted around other trees like twisting snakes.

The entire swamp seemed chaotic and chaotic, with no discernible pattern. With no obvious paths to follow, every step was filled with uncertainty and danger. A single misstep could lead to a quagmire or an attack from the venomous insects and beasts hiding in the undergrowth.

On the way here, Li Xingchen had already caught a wild rabbit. He cleanly gutted the poor little rabbit and threw it at the edge of the swamp.

After doing all this, he and the little black cat waited for the opportunity to act.

Soon, crocodiles came following the smell of blood, and the fish took the bait!

Just when one of the crocodiles had just stuck out half of its body, Li Xingchen flashed sideways like lightning and appeared in front of it, and quickly swung a knife, accurately stabbing it into the crocodile's right eye.

Instantly, man and crocodile engaged in a fierce struggle. Li Xingchen unleashed a barrage of powerful punches, hammering the crocodile's forehead. The poor creature was visibly stunned. After several tumbling and struggling, Li Xingchen successfully mounted the crocodile's back. He then delivered another powerful blow to the crocodile's jaw. Simultaneously, he pinned the crocodile to the ground with his left hand, while clutching the blade in his right hand, he stabbed the crocodile's belly. With a single movement, a long gash was created.

Tonight's dinner is in hand.

All this happened in an instant. The surrounding crocodiles were obviously frightened by the scene and dived into the water without a trace.

During this time, Xiao Hei kept hiding behind a tree, vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him, with no intention of taking action at all.

It wanted to help, but the little master didn't need it at all.

Ever since it was captured by the Great Demon and given to its young master, it knew that its responsibility was to protect the young master. As for the extremely powerful Great Demon, it did not need to provide any protection.

However, during the first two years, the young master did need its assistance. Back then, the prey they faced were smaller, and the young master was too small and relatively weak. Since it was already an adult black panther, it would occasionally wave its claws to help the young master catch these prey.

But as time went on, the little master grew stronger and stronger. From then on, the little master successfully hunted prey both small and large on his own. The most it could do was to slightly hinder some prey during the pursuit.

"Xiao Hei, go home!"

On the way home, Li Xingchen did not ride on Xiao Hei like he did on the way here. He made a simple stretcher with vines and branches, and let Xiao Hei drag the crocodile.

He led the way in front and Xiao Hei followed behind.

The man and the beast were carrying an incredibly large prey, but their speed was not affected at all. Before long, they arrived under the strange tree.

Li Xingchen gazed up at the enormous tree before him, marveling at its grandeur. He didn't know if it was truly divine, but considering all the trees he had seen, there was no tree larger than this one. So, he secretly named it the "Divine Tree."

At this moment, a figure leaped down from the tree like a civet cat, landing steadily in front of the man and the leopard. This person was Zero, who always seemed to be able to spot them at the first moment.

Zero walked over to Xiao Hei and patted him on the head gently as a compliment. Then he turned around and looked at Li Xingchen: "Are you back?"

It was a simple greeting that he heard almost every day, but when Li Xingchen heard it, he still felt a little warm in his heart.

It's the feeling of family.

"Brother, let's eat crocodile today."

Li Xingchen's eyes curved in a smile. He was in charge of hunting, so Zero naturally took charge of the cooking. And every time, Zero took over the task without hesitation, and all he had to do was wait patiently for dinner. More importantly, no matter what dish Zero prepared, it tasted incredibly delicious.

Zero was processing the ingredients on the side.

Li Xingchen went to the other side to take off his clothes and prepare to go into the river to take a cold shower.

It is August now and the weather is warm.

Li Xingchen’s favorite thing is to jump into the lake and swim for a while after coming back from hunting every day.

Xiao Hei also jumped down.

The two little ones are competing in the water to see who can swim faster.

Naturally, Li Xingchen swam faster. Although Xiao Hei was smart most of the time, when it came to competitions, Li Xingchen always won. However, no matter how fast Li Xingchen ran, Xiao Hei could always keep up.

So Xiao Hei has always been giving in to him.

Xiao Hei is so sensible, and he even knows how to give him face. What a brother! Li Xingchen praised Xiao Hei in his heart. He would cut the meat for him into big pieces later!

The two little ones had almost finished playing and frolicking, and Zero had almost finished preparing the food. Zero looked up at the two little ones. Then, carrying the food in his hands, he walked deeper into the forest.

Li Xingchen climbed out of the water first. He was naked, and he jumped onto the tree with a few light leaps. His movements were similar to Zero's.

He went to change his clothes.

Xiao Hei also came ashore and stood under a tree, shaking his fur. He shook it, took a few steps, and shook it again. He was waiting for his little master to come eat together.
