Chapter 117
Chapter 117
Both Sanyuankui and Enqi were found by Humbaba on the spot in the west of the forest. When she found them, they were sitting under a tall jujube tree, eating fresh dates picked from it.
Humbaba's footsteps subconsciously eased, but remembering his purpose, he regained his aggressive appearance, took a step, and went in the direction of the two people.
Enkidu had discovered Humbaba a long time ago. Rather, as the uncrowned king of the forest, even though Humbaba was a vegetarian, because of his own momentum and other factors, it could be said that wherever he went, the beasts would avoid him.
At the moment when the surrounding birds and beasts left one after another, Enkidu had already anticipated the opponent's arrival.
But what to say?
As the only one, now the only one who is not afraid of Humbaba's existence, Enkidu doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with the other party's coming.
Wake up, get up, it must be - looking for food!
So, when Humbaba rushed in front of the two of them, what greeted her were words of concern from her elder brother (?).
"Woooo?"
Eat?
Humbaba: "..."
She looked at the small fruit that Enkidu handed over, not as big as one of her teeth, and fell into deep thought.
With such a small fruit, she might have to eat the whole tree to be full, right?
In the end, she still didn't refuse Enkidu, but stuck out her tongue, trying hard to roll the dates that could only be stuffed between her teeth into her mouth.
The small fruit rolled down the throat and rushed to the stomach before feeling the meaning in the mouth.Humbaba smacked his mouth and left a comment in his heart.
Well, as expected, the big fruit is delicious, and I will take the cub to the apple tree later...
Wait, no, I'm not here to eat!
Fenbaba, who suddenly reacted, bowed his head stiffly, the purpose was to see the two cubs looking at her while nibbling dates.
Seeing that she had finished eating, the little one asked a rather bad question.
"Are you still eating?"
Humbaba: "..."
Ah this...
She looked up at the small fruits scattered on the jujube tree, then looked down at Zai'er, nodded deeply, and replied heavily.
"Ow!"
eat!
How could she fall behind in eating together or something!
But how to eat is a problem.
With Humbaba's body size, it is absolutely impossible to dryly pick the fruit and stuff it into her mouth. This is such a delicate operation, so she has never mouthed this kind of tree with small fruits.
Otherwise, there are not many branches and leaves at all, and the whole tree will be bare until only the trunk is left with a few more mouths.
Fortunately, Sanyuankui was fully aware of Humbaba's problem.
"You first, wait a minute."
She got up, and put all the dates that Enkidu had brought down and picked up together into a pile into Humbaba's mouth, and the other party closed his mouth, finally able to chew and taste.
Hmm...it's sweet, and it seems to be a little crunchy in the middle.
"Ow."
not bad.
"Woooo!"
Then eat more!
Enkidu immediately regained his energy and climbed up the tree with super mobility. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Sanyuankui quickly backed away from the range of the jujube tree.
The next second, there was a shaking among the branches, and the dates on the tree crackled and fell like rain, which lasted for a long time before stopping.
When Sanyuankui poked her head from behind Fenbaba's paw, there were already a lot of dates on the ground.
Picking up dates, putting them into Fenbaba's mouth, and finally being eaten by her, the whole process is only one cycle, Fenbaba only needs to open his mouth and wait to eat.
What's this?This is the concern of the cubs!Her cubs have... wait!
Fenbaba, who had just swallowed the dates in his mouth, stopped and continued to open his mouth to eat, when suddenly something flashed through his head.
She raised her head to look at the jujube tree where there were only a few jujubes left, and then at the two people on the ground who were busy feeding her, the whole beast suddenly trembled.
Something is wrong!I am the parent, how can I let the cubs feed me?He should be feeding the cubs himself! (shock——)
She quickly sat up, raised her head, and refused solemnly.
"Ow."
I'm stuffed.
Sanyuankui, who had just picked up seven or eight dates, turned her head in doubt, her gaze went all the way down from Humbaba's face, and finally fixed on the other person's stomach.
Judging from the amount of grapes the other party ate yesterday, these few mouthfuls could not be considered full at all.
"Ow."
Yes, I'm full.
Humbaba rubbed his animal face, said that he was full without changing his face, and finally remembered his original purpose.
"Ow."
Now we are going back, and we must not go out easily in the future.
"Woooo?"
Can not Go Out?
Enkidu was a little puzzled.
"Woooo?"
Why?Can't I play with my friends?
"Ow."
I'm not talking about you, it's okay if you like to go out, but not the pups.
Humbaba speaks with a long heart.
"Ow."
It's too dangerous outside for the cub, and she must never go out of the safe zone.
Enkidu:! ! !
"Woooo!"
I can protect her!
"Ow."
you?
Humbaba looked back and forth at Enkidu, Enkidu consciously put on his most aggressive posture, but Humbaba just shook his head.
"Ow."
You can not.
Enkidu looked confused.
Can't do it yourself?Why can't I do it myself?
"Woooo!"
Other friends can't beat me!
Cheetahs are not as fast as him, and cattle are not as strong as him. Why can't he protect the safety of his family?
Humbaba deadpanned the reason.
"Ow."
Because you are stupid.
Enkidu looked bewildered, and slowly put out a question mark.
stupid?What stupid?Fen Baba said he was smart a while ago?Why are you being stupid again now?
"Ow."
In short, never take the cub out of the safe zone.
Humbaba repeated it again, and then put Sanyuankui on his back with his tail, and brought him back to the center of the forest, leaving Enkidu standing there alone, with four words in his head.
—Because you are stupid.
Something is wrong, obviously I am very smart!
Enkidu was like a sculpture, motionless, only his head was thinking. After a while, the forest resumed its noise because of Humbaba's departure.
The first fox who came here to pick up dates to eat looked at Enkidu, walked up to him suspiciously, and stretched out his paw to touch him.
[Friend, what's wrong with you? ]
"Woooo..."
thinking about...
Enkidu blinked blankly, and asked the fox a question.
"Woooo?"
Am I stupid?
fox:"……"
The other party is... where does he have self-knowledge?
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and the fox looked at the scattered dates, which were much more than usual, and decisively chose to enlighten (fool).
[My friend, what made you think so? ]
"Woooo..."
Humbaba said I was not allowed to take the cubs because I was stupid...
Enkidu said, feeling aggrieved.
"Woooo?"
But I'm not stupid, I'm smart?
There are still many friends who haven't seen his clan, so how can he be stupid for bringing his clan to play together?
[I see. ]
The fox pondered, and quickly gave a suggestion.
[If you can take the cub out under Humbaba's watch, doesn't that mean you're smart? ]
Enkidu:! ! !
"Woooo!"
That's right!
Humbaba said he was stupid, but if he could bring out the cub, wouldn't that mean he was actually very smart?In this way, Humbaba will not refuse him to bring the cubs out again!
Enkidu stood up abruptly, very excited.
"Woooo!"
I know what to do!
He nodded to the fox, and was about to run away, but he turned his head again a second before he opened his legs.
"Woooo!"
thank you, friend!
After speaking, he ran away, leaving only the fox where he was, with a question in his head.
Thanks?what is thank you
The fox tilted his head, but he didn't struggle too much after all. He just turned around and jumped excitedly at the countless dates on the ground.
Eat more and take some away before there are many other animals coming!
Sanyuankui was brought back to the center of the forest by Humbaba. The control group Enkidu made up his mind and didn't know about her smuggling under Humbaba's guard.
But for her, as long as she can get in touch with Enkidu, it doesn't matter where she is.
Enkidu didn't show up all day, and he didn't show up until night when it was time to go to bed.
"Ow."
It's okay, I can't lose it.
Humbaba is just used to this.
"Ow."
Maybe play with which animal, and then sleep together by the way, and come back after playing enough.
After all, they are grown-up children. In the forest, except for animals that live in groups, most of the grown-up animals will leave their parents and live alone.
So Humbaba has a complete stocking policy for Enkidu who has grown up.
"Oh……"
Sanyuankui looked around, but there was always a feeling that Enkidu was not far away, but seeing that Humbaba didn't care, he didn't care too much.
Well, Enkidu will come back if he wants to come back, even if he doesn't show up, he has his own reasons.
Thinking of this, Sanyuankui prepared to go to bed with peace of mind.
However... after an unknown period of time, she felt the grass below her body move.
Sanyuankui, who was half asleep and half awake, turned over and continued to sleep.
But within a few seconds, she felt something poking behind her continuously.
How does this make people sleep?
She opened her eyes, sat up and looked behind her, only to bewilderedly discover that a black...soil tentacles(?) suddenly appeared on the originally flat grass and danced wildly.
Sanyuankui couldn't help stretching out her hand and rubbing her eyes, then looked again.
That's right, it's the black soil tentacles, and it has changed from one to two!
A pitch-black forest, huge sleeping monsters, black tentacles growing from the grass...
Sanyuankui looked at the two earth tentacles desperately waving in silence, and said the other's name accurately.
"Enkidu?"
The tentacles stopped waving, and blankly made a question mark.
Enkidu?What is Enkidu?What is Enkidu?
On the ground, Enkidu, who didn't have a name yet, was stunned for a second, then immediately dropped the question and got down to business.
He withdrew his dirt tentacles, turned his head out of the grass, and spoke softly.
"Woooo-"
Don't make a sound, we leave quietly.
As a clay creature, he can naturally blend into the ground, allowing his sense of existence to become one with the earth. Only in this way, Humbaba will not find him.
Enkidu separated out more mud, and just when he was about to wrap Sanyuankui in it and smuggle out, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.
He turned his head stiffly, and what he saw was Humbaba's wide-open animal pupils.
"Ow?"
what are you up to?
Enkidu:! ! ! !
Humbaba, aren't you asleep?
