Chapter 31

....Cannibal raptor! That’s a cannibal raptor!

The golden light in Tan Tu’s eyes shot up, and all his wildness burst out at this moment. He rushed to the tree at an unprecedented speed, grabbed the right wing of the cannibal raptor on Su Ce’s back and dragged down a large piece of feather attached to the flesh.

Su Ce broke out in a cold sweat. He didn’t feel anything coming behind him at all. Although some wind passed through his ears, he only thought it was the wind wandering in the woods. He didn’t expect something to come!

If Tan Tu hadn’t hunted the hyenas soon, he would have been the prey of this raptor... He certainly lacked the necessary precautions to live here.

Su Ce looked at the lion and the raptor tearing each other. He felt his eyes red. He was so frightened he could hardly move.

He now personally felt the danger of dying. Even though he was frightened, he still keep up his strong spirit and starts to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

Tan Tu has a strong sense of killing because he almost...almost lost his newly-married partner because of this damn bird! As if he was possessed by the beast God, nothing could stop his determination to kill the cannibal raptor!

Cannibal raptor, the overlord in the sky. Its two wings are five or six meters long, and its size is close to two meters long. Although it may seem slightly smaller than the golden lion, it actually looked like a curtain when its two wings are opened wide that it can wrapped you up.

Tan Tu’s heart panicked for a reason. The two claws of this cannibal raptor have great grasping power. They can easily drive Orc cubs and even females to the sky. However, there are very few birds and Orcs living in this place. Other males cannot fly into the sky, if Su Ce was really caught by it, even if Tan Tu is even more powerful, he could not save him in time.

Moreover, the habits of this cannibal raptors are very strange.

If it just catches people in the lair to eat meat, it’s easy to handle. Tan Tu may intermittently tell the past that he can find a way to save people before they land and eat. Even if he eats less meat, he lives at least... But the cannibal raptors like to eat Orc’s brain. When it reaches the nest, it will suck up the contents and dig out the eyeballs of its prey to eat—these are the greatest delicacies for them.

Su Ce doesn’t know this yet, and luckily he doesn’t.

No matter how calm a person is, he will not just feel sick and scared after knowing that he was almost sucked out.

Tan Tu and the cannibal raptor are fighting each other. The beak of the cannibal is very hard, like a hook—perhaps to facilitate it to enjoy its favorite things?

In any case, Tan Tu won’t let it go.

The cannibal raptor stole a chicken without corroding it[1]. Under the cover of leaves like a canopy, it actually followed the two for a while. It was not easy to wait for the male to go hunt, he aimed at an opportunity and rushed down quickly—but it didn’t expect that this male was so fierce he got the hyena within a few clicks and turned around immediately.

By the time it wanted to give up its chance, it was too late, the fierce male had already bitten its wings. At this point, it can only fight with the male to the end...in order to save its life.

When it got injured, it fell into the wind. The cannibal raptor’s wings fluttered and beat the golden lion fiercely. When the powerful force stirred the wind, it was like pumping a piece of pig iron. However, the lion was even more fierce in hiding and even tore it with its claws—immediately, feathers flew everywhere, shocking the eyes.

Su Ce grasped the truck tightly and didn’t dare move—thankfully Tan Tu pounced the cannibal raptor to the ground before.

It can be seen that although Tan Tu was really angry and imposing, he was not disorganized when attacking. He first destroyed the wings of the raptor making it unable to fly easily then tore off its wings and flesh. Finally when it was gradually exhausted, he tore off its claws and bit off its head!

Finally killed it.

Tan Tu shook his head and threw the raptor’s head far away, then step by step slowly walked towards Su Ce. He looked up and made a low growls at Su Ce on the tree.

It was clearly the roar of a lion, Su Ce felt as though he understood.

He looked at the big guy staring at him nervously, let go of his hand and jumped down.

The lion also leapt along, catching Su Ce as quickly as possible. Su Ce grabbed the lion’s mane in time and scooped on his back.

Warm body temperature, this can give the greatest comfort to a person who just escaped death.

The lion knew that Su Ce was frightened, he put Su Ce down and licked the back of his hand with his tongue.

Just after a battle, the bloody smell of the lion’s tongue was quite strong, but Su Ce didn’t disapprove but leaned in and hugged his neck.

One man and one lion remained silent for a while.

The golden lion arched Su Ce a little with his head. Su Ce walked farther knowingly. The lion opened its mouth. Su Ce thought about it and covered his ears. Then, there was a huge roar stretching for hundreds of even thousands of meters. The waves in the lion’s throat rolled away in the forest, swearing the existence of the king of the jungle—

Today’s prey is enough, he doesn’t need to converge anymore. Instead, he should tell other beasts in the jungle to accept the wrath of the golden lion if they come here to invade for the safety of him and his partner!

When the roar dissipated, the neighborhood became eerie and quiet.

The golden lion turned into a tall man in Su Ce’s eyes. He wiped his mouth and ran over to look at his partner with concern, “Ah Ce, Ah Ce, I’m sorry are you hurt?” After that, he went over and over to check. He sighed with relief until he was sure that even the skin had not been scratched. Followed by some grievances on his face, he apologized. “Ah Ce, sorry...”

Su Ce felt a bit funny and patted his head, “Tan Tu, I’m not angry,” Pause “I’m still too unaware of the crisis. I am the one who brought you into trouble.” Then he smiled, “I want to thank you for saving my life.”

He meant it as a joke—he knew his personality was boring, but he didn’t want to let Tan Tu down.

As a result, Tan Tu’s face even more wrinkled, “Ah Ce, I should protect you. It scares me that I’m wrong, how can you thank me...”

...No, the maintenance of feelings is bilateral. But if Tan Tu doesn’t think it’s important or understandable, he doesn’t have make it clear to him. ‘I know it’s enough’, he thought.

Between lovers, although you don’t have to care too much, you can’t take each other’s efforts for granted.

Even if Tan Tu didn’t say it, Su Ce could see how dangerous the battle between Tan Tu and the cannibal raptor was. The gratitude in his heart was not only for one person’s aid to himself but also for his lover’s willingness to dedicate his life to him.

No one has ever valued, cherished, and loved him... It’s not like a man doesn’t need this. He’s been alone for many years before meeting Tan Tu who was so dedicated to him.

Tan Tu didn’t hear Su Ce answer and didn’t ask further. Because he saw Su Ce’s soft eyes and was standing here safely, the atmosphere suddenly blocked his words below his throat. He didn’t know why he feel this way, but it was very comfortable... Another kind of comfort completely different from last night.

Su Ce walked over and took Tan Tu’s hand, “Now come with me to pick wild vegetables and seasoning plants.”

Tan Tu nodded. Looking reluctantly on Su Ce’s hand, he let go gently to first tied up the cannibal raptor, took the hyena and carried it on his back. Then he went back over to Su Ce and held out his hand, “Ah Ce...”

Su Ce put his hand on it, “Mmm.”

After that, the process was much smoother. Su Ce took out the hide from their home and filled it with fresh wild vegetables and plump mushrooms. He was going to make a good soup. If possible, try to make some stir fry... It was too much to stew meat all the time.

There are a lot of seasonings—such as the spicy and pepper flavor, which have grown in the mountains, and because of the taste there are few wild animals that provoke this. It had developed sustainably. The chili peppers on the earth are almost the same. More surprisingly, he found peppercorns exactly the same.

So Su Ce returned home with a full load.

Today’s ‘date’ was a bit thrilling, but it made him straighten up his attitude and know a lot of things... It was a good date.
