The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

In ancient times, Tianlu swallowed his brother who was still in an egg before he was born, causing the Pixiu egg to hatch in his belly, and Baijie was born.

"So you were that egg!" Tianlu suddenly realized after hearing Baijie's explanation, and then looked at his newborn brother with increasing fondness.

"I have a younger brother now, hehe~ Don't worry! As the older brother, I will definitely take good care of you!" He picked up Bai Jie and rubbed his face against his brother's.

Bai Jie let out a soft "uh" and subconsciously closed his eyes.

Seeing his two younger brothers being so affectionate, Bixie couldn't feel happy at all.

Tianlu was already a big eater, and now with another mouth to feed, they'll need to find even more Golden Balls to fill everyone's stomachs. And who knows how much the new little brother eats? If he's as big as Tianlu, it'll only make things worse.

He looked worried, concerned about the family's meals. Tianlu, seeing him like this, came over and said in a coquettish tone, "Oh, Bixie, don't look so gloomy. Look how cute your little brother is~"

As he spoke, he carried Bai Jie to Bi Xie.

“…Uh…Hello…” The newborn baby was a little timid, with a soft and sweet voice.

Pi Xie's heart softened upon hearing this.

"Hmm... okay, but Tianlu, you have to take good care of him. Don't take Baijie running around while I'm not around, it's dangerous." He licked Baijie's fur, which Tianlu had messed up, while reminding the unreliable guy.

Tianlu chuckled, "Of course! I'll definitely protect Baijie."

……

With the addition of a new member to the Pixiu brothers, Bixie became even busier, going out every day to find food, leaving Baijie and Tianlu alone at home.

Several days passed, and despite Bixie's best efforts, the three brothers were still going hungry. He could still fill his stomach with evil spirits, while the two brothers who ate golden balls could only wait for him to bring back food while they were starving.

Finally, Tianlu couldn't take it anymore.

"No! We can't rely on warding off evil spirits to find food anymore, otherwise we'll never have enough to eat."

"What should we do then?" Bai Jie lay there listlessly. "Should we go and eat that stinky evil spirit?"

"I don't want to eat that!" Tianlu suddenly stood up. "Come on, Baijie, let's go out and find something to eat ourselves!" With that, he walked out of the cave.

Bai Jie jumped up with a start, "Hey, but Bixie won't let us go out."

"It's alright, I'll protect you, you won't be in any danger." Tianlu stopped and turned around, patting his chest to assure him.

Bai Jie hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Having only known each other for a short time, he had no idea how unreliable his older brother was and naively believed his lies.

……

The two brothers left the cave, and Tianlu, as before, chose the opposite direction from Bixie. Having learned from his previous experience, he carefully led Baijie through the mountains, fearing any danger.

They walked through a patch of grass, and Bai Jie looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with a bewildered expression. "Tianlu, where is this?"

Upon hearing this, Tianlu subconsciously looked around, then his expression gradually became awkward. "I...I don't know either..."

"Huh?" Bai Jie Yama was stunned. "You mean...we're lost?"

"Hmm...it seems so."

The two beasts stared at each other for a moment, and then, Bai Jie erupted.

"Tianlu! What do we do now?! We can't go home, we can't see Bixie anymore, and... and... I'm so hungry..." As he spoke, he slumped down like a deflated balloon, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, Bai Jie, don't cry!" Tian Lu panicked when he saw his younger brother about to cry. "I'll find you something to eat right away. Even without the evil spirit, I'm sure I can take good care of you! We'll definitely find our way back!" He spoke incoherently and hurriedly hugged Bai Jie, licking away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

A group of golden balls, believed to ward off evil spirits, were found in a certain place when someone suddenly sneezed.

"Ah chirp!"

He wiped his nose and bent over, facing a multitude of evil spirits that surrounded him.

Back on Baijie and Tianlu's side, the two beasts began searching for food in the mountains again.

“There aren’t many golden balls around here, only those really big monsters. Let’s pick an easy one to fill our stomachs.” Tianlu muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the surroundings like torches, while Baijie followed behind him with its tail drooping.

Suddenly, the grass nearby rustled. Tianlu looked over sharply and protected Baijie as they retreated. "Baijie, be careful! There might be danger. Stay behind me."

The grass rustled more violently, as if the creature inside was about to emerge. Tianlu nervously swallowed, while Baijie curiously peeked out from behind him.

"Wow."

A one-legged chick popped out, hopped forward a couple of steps, and found two Pixiu looking up at them with a blank expression.

"Oh, it's just a little kid." Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief, but then his eyes lit up. Wasn't this the easy target he wanted?

Tianlu suddenly stepped forward, head held high and chest puffed out, a wicked look on his face. "Haha, Baijie, isn't there food here? I'll catch him right now!"

"Huh?" Bai Jie was taken aback.

Tianlu slowed down and approached the chick step by step, his eyes fixed on it. This was his first time hunting, and he couldn't lose face in front of his younger brother.

As the distance closed, Tianlu crouched down, preparing for a stylish pounce. However, at that moment, a gaping maw descended from the sky and swallowed the chick whole.

Tianlu trembled, staring blankly as he raised his head. Baijie, behind him, followed in a daze. They saw a two-meter-tall, dinosaur-like creature tilt its head back, swallow its food, and then look down at the two of them.

In the next instant, an even larger maw swooped down and swallowed the dinosaur-like creature whole. Like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Before Tianlu and Baijie could react, another oriole leaped out, an even larger creature appearing, casting a large shadow, and swallowed the unidentified creature it hadn't even had time to see clearly.

"Ughhhhhh!" The two brothers simultaneously let out a sharp, explosive sound. Tianlu grabbed Baijie and turned to run away, unable to resist looking back at the overwhelming monster as he ran.

"Tianlu, wait! There's a beast ahead!!" Baijie had barely finished speaking when the two brothers bumped into each other.

"Huh?" As if they had crashed into a mountain of flesh, they were bounced back and scrambled around, completely disoriented. Tianlu instinctively rolled over and shielded Baijie beneath him. "Don't be afraid, little brother, I'll protect you."

A shadow fell, and the two brothers were grabbed by the creature they had bumped into.

The scene shifts, and Bixie bites down on the evil spirit, forcefully sucking it into its stomach. A shrill laugh erupts, and he turns around, stepping on the tail of an evil spirit that is trying to escape. The spirit lunges forward, its body stretched out, and then suddenly springs up, allowing Bixie to bite down on it.

……

The evil spirits' lewd laughter ceased in the gloomy forest, leaving behind a scene of utter chaos, with gold and jade scattered everywhere. Bixie was breathing heavily, his wounds stained crimson.

He rested for a while, then got up to gather the scattered gold and jade. Suddenly, a silver glint flashed in his eye. He turned his head and saw a round, silvery food lying quietly in his nest by the stream.

"Silver ball?"

……

The three brothers' home was located in a cave halfway up the mountain, surrounded by lush vegetation. Bixie, returning home laden with food, excitedly arrived at the cave entrance, shouting, "Tianlu! Baijie! There's food!...it's ready..."

Before he could finish speaking, he froze upon seeing the scene inside the cave, and the silver ball he was holding in his mouth fell to the ground.

"Bixie, you're back! Look, our new friend!" Tianlu wagged his tail happily. Beside him was a two-meter-tall creature that looked like a red pom-pom, with six legs and four wings—it was Dijiang. Baijie was being held in her arms.

"Where did this monster come from? Let go of my brother!!" Bixie bristled in response, assuming a posture ready to attack at any moment.

Tianlu was startled and hurriedly cried out, "Bixie, don't be fierce to her! She's a good beast!"

Rewinding to a short while ago, Red Fur Ball grabbed Tianlu and Baijie and held them in its arms. With a sudden flap of its four wings, it carried the two brothers into the sky, while the huge monster below roared.

"If it weren't for her, we would have been eaten by the monster long ago," Tianlu said pitifully, and Baijie nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"What monsters? You've escaped?!" Pixie exclaimed in shock and anger.

With a loud bang, the entire cave suddenly shook, interrupting the fire that had just risen in the Bixie, and all the beasts instinctively rushed out to look.

A giant leg, thicker than Dijiang's waist, crashed down at the cave entrance. A second leg followed closely behind, standing right in front of the cave. Tianlu and Baijie were so frightened that they huddled together.

"what?!!"

"What a huge monster!"

The monster outside the cave bent down, its eye filling the entire entrance, reflecting the trembling figures of the three brothers.

"What the hell do I do? I'm going to die!!" Bai Jie cried out, trembling.

"Buzz." Dijiang remained unusually calm. She picked up the silver ball that Bixie had dropped, shook it, and tossed it back into the air.

The three brothers instinctively followed the ball with their eyes. The silver ball drew an arc in the air and hit its owner in the eye, rolling to the ground.

"Crack!"

The silver sphere suddenly shattered in two, and a small beast emerged from it, letting out a still-childish cry, "Awoo~"

"An egg?!" the three brothers exclaimed in unison.

No wonder the monster chased after us; the evil spirit took someone's child away, how could it not come after us?

The monster that found the child didn't linger; it took the child and left with a tremendous tremor. The three brothers went to the cave entrance. Tianlu Baijie looked at the mother and child, while Bixie looked at the spot outside where he had placed the golden ball. Only a few scattered pieces of gold and jade remained; the monster must have accidentally kicked them away when it came.

"Hmm. I thought I'd be full." Tianlu also saw the pitiful few pieces of gold and jade, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Bixie closed his eyes and remained silent, not wanting to speak.

"Oh, Bixie, you should keep the big red one. Look, she saved me!"

Either we perish in silence, or we erupt in despair. The evil spirit erupted, shouting, "We're all starving, how can we keep it?!"

Tianlu Baijie was so startled by the shout that he shrank back and dared not utter a word, like a quail.

"Buzz." Dijiang suddenly spoke and waved his hand, indicating that this was not a problem.

Shortly after……

Dijiang flapped her four wings and flew into the sky. She absorbed the sunlight into her body and turned it into nutrients. The three brothers were carried to the next mountain that they had not yet visited.

As the sun sets and the wind caresses their faces, Bixie lies on Dijiang's back, experiencing the feeling of flying.

This seems... not bad?

"Awooo~ I'm so hungry!" Tianlu let out a long howl against the strong wind.

"Stop howling, Tianlu, we'll be there soon."

"I'll howl, Awoo~ Awoo!"

Amidst howls, a line of beasts flew away into the sunset.
