Chapter 970: Sharp Ears and Sharp Eyes
Little Treasure’s words were like cold water, pouring one basin after another on Da Bao. In the end, Da Bao was lying in the cave with her back to Little Treasure, a little angry.
Little Treasure knew that Da Bao was just a little naïve and would think things through on her own, so he did not have any intention of coaxing Da Bao. Instead, he laid down on his own and the two of them did not speak for a moment. They were even listening attentively to what was happening in the outside world.
The roars were very loud and mixed. It was as if there were many animals fighting. However, they knew that no matter how exciting the outside world was, they could not get out. They could only stay here temporarily because they were too weak. They were so weak that any animal could stomp them to death in minutes.
What they needed to do was to train their skills. At that time, no matter how strong the enemy they faced was, they would at least have the ability to protect themselves.
“Have you put away that crystal?”
As if there was nothing to say, Da Bao still answered:
“Yes.”
“We have to get up early tomorrow.”
“Oh.”
Da Bao suddenly stopped talking. For a moment, Little Treasure was not used to it, so he continued to say:
“If you really can’t sleep, then wait a little longer. When the noise outside is not so noisy, we will go out and take a look. Because there are still some things in the rabbit skin in the cave, we have to take it back.”
“Really?”
As expected, when she heard this, Da Bao was not sad and became excited again.
Little Treasure sighed and said,”We’re just going to get something. Don’t be so excited. You can’t go and see those animals.”
“Yeah, I know. Actually, I also wanted to go and get something, but I was shocked by you before I could say anything. Although the rabbit skin smells a little fishy, it’s still very soft and warm on the ground. It’s better than being on this sandy ground.”
“You have so many reasons.”
“I’m telling the truth.”
“But Little Treasure, are we really not allowed to go out in the future?”
Little Treasure sighed and said angrily,”Mommy is right. As long as we’re here, you don’t like to use your brain.”
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it yourself.”
Da Bao glared at Little Treasure angrily. Since young, he had relied on his intelligence to make her think about this and that. If she knew, why would she ask him?
“Are you going to tell me or not?”
“Hey, aren’t you going to eat?”
Little Treasure suddenly said this. Da Bao was stunned at first, then she said in surprise,”Are you saying that we still have to go out and hunt every day?”
“Not every day. It’s best to hunt enough food in one day. Also, we have to go out early and run as soon as we get some food. We definitely can’t stay for too long. Of course, it can also be considered practice.”
“That’s great. I told you. We can’t stay here forever.”
“You’re getting more and more silly.”
“You’re the silly one.”
“You’re silly to me. I’m not the silly one.”
The two of them chatted idly until midnight. Little Treasure looked at his watch. It was already past 3 o’clock. If not for the excitement of going out supporting the two of them, the two children would have already gone to sleep.
This was really strange. When they slept in the big cave outside, they would wake up many times every night to see if the fire was still burning. They were afraid that some big beast would run in and eat them while they were sleeping.
Therefore, they had been living in fear. However, when they arrived here, they knew that no animals dared to run in here because of the existence of the big white dragon. They even knew that… The big white dragon was equivalent to their guardian god. Naturally, there would be no danger at night.
It was also because of this that they actually missed the life outside. This was really ironic.
However, they were still children after all. When they were growing up, if they did not get enough sleep every day, that was not a good thing at all. They did not dare to sleep soundly at night, and even more so during the day.
There were even more wild beasts active during the day. Who knew if they would encounter any beasts that came out to look for food.
Therefore, it was really difficult for them to walk out of this forest. The budget of 10 years was probably still considered small.
The howling outside gradually became softer. Only then did the two children slowly climb out of the cave. However, for some reason, they always felt a little cold at night in the past. Even with a bonfire, they would still feel that the night in the forest was bone-chilling. However, today, they actually did not feel any cold at all.
Of course, they did not notice this at all. The two of them still held hands in excitement as they walked out of the cave.
“The moon tonight is really bright. It is quite bright outside. We can even see the little rock clearly.”
“That’s right. It looks very bright today. Let’s go. We don’t need torches anymore. We’ll just go out like this, but we have to be quick.”
“Okay, got it. Hurry up.”
They held hands and slowly ran toward the brambles outside the lake. These brambles were the ones that they had to crawled out of from the lake’s isolation to the outside world.
“What a strong smell of blood.”
“That’s right. I don’t know how many wild beasts died from that roar just now, but I reckon that all the wild beasts have gone to eat, so we have to move quickly.”
“Okay.”
The cave was not far from the lake, so the two of them ran to the cave in less than 15 minutes. However, this time, the two of them learned their lesson and did not rashly run into the cave. Instead, they threw a tree branch into the cave. After making sure that there were no animals inside, they slowly walked inside.
The big wolf’s body at the door had long been gone. There was also a pool of red marks because they had already left for a day and a night. The blood had probably dried up long ago. The temperature here was quite different in the morning and night. The temperature could reach 30 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, and sometimes it was only 10 degrees Celsius at night. Therefore, it made sense that there were no wild beasts here, and the smell of blood had disappeared.
A quilt made of rabbit skin, and a small basket made by Da Bao. Little Treasure placed the rabbit skin inside and carried it on his back. Then, he carried the items that they usually collected, which the children would find particularly interesting. He carried them all on his back.
This weight was at least 20 kilograms, but Little Treasure carried them lightly. Even Da Bao could not help but say, “Little Treasure, you must have eaten too much meat recently. I noticed that your strength has grown. Previously, when you were carrying these things, you couldn’t even carry them.”
When Little Treasure heard Da Bao’s words, he was stunned. Indeed, previously, when he was carrying the things, Da Bao had helped push him from behind. But just now, he had carried this basket on his back… Even now, he did not feel that it was much heavier. What was going on? Could it be because he had eaten too much barbecue?
“I think so. Then, Da Bao, you should eat more meat. When you eat too much meat, you will have more strength. Your strength is like a cat’s scratch.”
When Da Bao heard what Little Treasure said, she quickly nodded. Yes, she also had to eat more so that she would have more strength. Yes, that was right.
“Little Treasure, look, what is that?”
