The youth that was picked up and brought back
Hehe, at this moment, it could be said that Shao Qian finally realised why this place didn"t have any other magic beasts or humans, it wasn"t that there weren"t any, but because they didn"t dare intrude into the Treants" territory, right?
Let it be known that although the Treants didn"t kill those that intruded into their territory, but they would whip the intruders with their branches and drive them out. You guys are gentle? Rubbish. In the entire Illusionary Mist Forest, you guys are the most brutal, killing beasts yet won"t give them a quick death.
"Apologies, I didn"t intrude on purpose. I was being hunted." Shao Qian immediately decided to sell himself out as well-behaved, so long as he wouldn"t be whipped or beaten, then shamelessly acting cute wouldn"t be a problem for him.
"Hunted?" The Treant expressed his shock, this place was the centre of the Illusionary Mist Forest, humans wouldn"t dare to rush in arbitrarily.
"Yes, they are outside." Shao Qian pointed to the direction he had came from, "I kept running in the direction of this place, I"m not sure when I shook them off."
"Poor cub." The Treant"s branch gently stroked Shao Qian"s black hair, "Rest a.s.sured, no one would dare enter this place."
"Mn. Treant grandpa, can I go down?" Shao Qian obediently nodded his head, "Previously, when I tried to jump off, it was because I was scared, please do not take offence."
"Of course, no offence taken." In fact, the Treant had been quickly converted by the cub"s large, round and cute eyes, if he was able to transform, he would definitely place the youth in his embrace, and carefully comfort him. Cough, he strayed from the topic.
"Which family"s cub are you?" The Treant still wasn’t able to figure who this smell belonged to. If it wasn"t that his blood relations left the forest, then it would be that the cub"s blood relations were dead.
"Cub?" Shao Qian was somewhat at a loss, but after figuring out that the "cub" the Treant spoke of probably had the same meaning as "child" to humans, he hurriedly answered, "I"m the son of the Illusionary Mist Garrison"s blacksmith.
"Illusionary Mist Garrison? Blacksmith?" At this moment, the Treant"s brow creased together, of course he knew what was the Illusionary Mist Garrison, but what was a blacksmith? In the Illusionary Mist Forest, it seemed like there wasn"t any high-ranking magic beast called blacksmith.
"It"s someone that forges." Only then did Shao Qian realise that the Treant probably never left the Illusionary Mist Forest before, and would definitely not know what a blacksmith is, so he explained what a blacksmith was to the Treant.
In the end, the Treant finally understood, although he was somewhat confused as he rubbed Shao Qian"s head, "Good child, your father shouldn"t be a blacksmith, he is a magic beast of this forest, perhaps even one of the high rank magic beast."
Shao Qian was stunned, such an important lead, why didn"t he know about it? Moreover, what exactly was the original Jesse"s species? Half human and half magic beast? But he doesn"t remember transforming into a magic beast when he was doing the tasks.
The Treant looked at Shao Qian, whose appearance was similar to one that had received a strike. This child shouldn"t have know that he was a magic beast, and also, previously, this child said he was being hunted. Presumably someone had found out this secret, fortunately, the little cub was fast at running, if not perhaps he would have suffered the bad fate of being enslaved, or even killed.
"Good child, don"t be scared, Treant grandpa will protect you from now on." Thinking of how the little cub ought not to have any parents, furthermore wandering all by himself in the Illusionary Mist Forest, and even the probability that he may be eaten by other magic beasts……
He felt more and more scared, so, the "gentle" Treant decided to rear this little cub, at least until he could stand on his own strength.
And from that moment, the Illusionary Mist Forest gained another being, other than the Treants, that could not be provoked. All day, that cub teased cats and provoked dogs, offending the whole Illusionary Mist Forest. Chickens could fly, and dogs could jump, you don"t say, you"re unable to discipline him. Correct, you"re unable to discipline him, even if you wanted to howl at him, it was still impossible.
If supposingly you howled at him, you would attract a large area of Treants attacks to you, the crowd of Treants" movements were slow, that wasn"t wrong, however, they were extremely good at ambusing……
Furthermore, this crowd of Treants also held grudges……
After receiving countless of lessons that were paid for in blood, the high-ranking magic beasts in the Illusionary Mist Forest tacitly approved of Shao Qian"s existence, to the extent where they were so long as he didn"t kill their cubs, towards whatever fun he had, it would be ignored, that kind of disregarding att.i.tude……
This kind of tolerant and disregarding att.i.tude was due to Shao Qian using his soul power and gradually eliminating the blood vessels that belonged to humankind in his body, and when he transformed into a pure-black baby panther, there was change.
At first, it was simply in front of the Treants" that they accepted this offspring of a deceased high-rank magic beast, but when they saw Shao Qian"s transformation, it changed. Don"t look at how fierce the magic beasts were on ordinary days, but regarding the whole Illusionary Mist Forest, there were rarely any high-ranking magic beast"s cub, to the extent where a cub holding its fluffy head up high and howling in a child-like voice was impossible to not like.
Previously, if the high-rank magic beasts could avoid, then they would avoid. If they couldn"t avoid, they would ignore, but now, from time to time they would bring over some "little presents" for him, for example, the magic beasts outside would contribute human"s literature and clothes even once, a rare s.p.a.ce ring was brought over.
Another example was when they hunted tender meat, they would also drop by and gift some of it to him. Along with the increase of coming and going magic beasts, it made the quiet-loving Treants irritable, time and time again wanting to whip these shameless magic beasts that wanted to get close to the little cub, but it seemed like their actions weren"t of any use, so the magic beasts wasn"t whipped by them, on contrary, these high-rank magic beasts after hiding for so long, their speed wasn"t slow……
Have to say, in the Illusionary Mist Forest, Shao Qian really was like a stranded fish put back into water. [1] Even if afterwards, he built home on another tree, he would still always have at least two Treants by his side protecting him.
However, a calm and tranquil life would always be broken, but Shao Qian hadn"t thought it would be this quick. Transforming, Shao Qian held the prey he had hunted in his mouth and ran back, only, he wasn"t able to return to where he lived before he heard a cry for help in the near distant.
Shao Qian was immediately stunned, this place was already very close to the center, most people wouldn"t venture so deep, so why would he hear a person"s shout for help in such a dangerous place? Furthermore, judging from the voice, it was a young child?
It couldn"t be help but say that, perhaps because this time, Shao Qian"s ident.i.ty was one of a feline animal, so he was infected with some natural characteristics of feline animals. For example, how his curiosity that would forever triumph over his intellect.
As Shao Qian approached that place, he turned back into his human form, taking out a piece of fur from the s.p.a.ce ring he wore on his neck, and wrapping it around his waist.
What? No one saw? The most the entire Illusionary Mist Forest had was kinds of magic beasts with varying sizes, the magic beasts always felt that those human clothes were a nuisance, a restriction. So, towards Shao Qian who would wear only this piece of cloth and run round, no one felt that it was weird, even feeling that the bare youth whose body was without any fur was amusing.
Shao Qian channeled his soul power into his feet and ran like the wind. When he saw a magic beast advancing on the already seriously injured teenager, he issued a threatening growl. Although the growl sounded very immature, but the magic beast still stopped its action, glancing towards the direction where the growl came from. When it saw the cub with a piece of animal hide wrapped around him, it let out a sound before turning to leave.
Shao Qian watched the magic beast leave and nodded his head to express his grat.i.tude before hurriedly running to the teenager"s side. His clothes was already mostly dyed with blood, there was a deep, till bones could be seen, wound on his chest.
Shao Qian hastily took out the medicinal liquid in the ring, carefully holding up the teen"s head and pouring the medicinal liquid into his mouth. Fortunately, in the s.p.a.ce ring there was some healing potions, and also fortunately, the potions in the s.p.a.ce ring didn"t have such thing as shelf life. If not, if he wished to save this person, he really needed to use a lot of power to be able to do so.
After dealing with the wound on the teenager"s body, Shao Qian began contemplating how to bring the person back. This person"s chest had an injury, he definitely couldn"t carry him on his back. Could it be he had to drag him back?
Shao Qian reached out and rubbed the teenager"s back, the back of his clothes was also ragged, and he was still able to feel the stickiness of the bloodstains, wanting to drag him back definitely wasn"t possible. After throwing ideas back and forth, Shao Qian finally decided on the princess carry.
Applying his soul power to his arms and legs, he carried the person before hastily running towards the place where he lived in. After arriving at the place in a rush, Shao Qian looked up anxiously at his treehouse. On ordinary days, he would climb up the tree vine, but now that he was carrying a person, what should he do?
