Chapter 17: To Eat One’s Fill

This ravine was originally considered to be the large white snake’s territory, but with the large white snake fleeing to who knows where, the surroundings had turned extremely quiet.

Just as I was about to walk out of the small ravine, I came upon one snake and four men, there were exactly five dead bodies.

The death of the large white snake wasn’t unexpected, it had already been seriously injured, and with the relentless pursuit of those men, it would be a wonder if it hadn’t died.

But who done in the remaining four bodies?

Most of the injuries on their bodies were from fighting with the large white snake. But the fatal wound on their throat were all caused by a single sword slash. A one hit kill, what had killed them wasn’t a beast, but rather a human.

From the day I crossed over, I have yet to meet a weapon wielding demon beast.

I roughly know who it was that killed them, it’s probably that kind person who had taken blame for me.

Seeing that his technique was so efficient, I’m certain he was able to safely run away.

Taking a glance at the large white snake’s dead body, I discovered that it had been dealt with quite nastily. It’s head was cleaved wide open, the Crystal Stone within it has long disappeared without a trace of it to be seen. That pair of frightening golden eyes had also been dug out, leaving behind two eye cavities dripping with blood. The layer of hard skin on its body had been peeled off, and its tender muscles were exposed to the air.

In one of the human’s packages, I found a bundle of snake skin and golden eyes.

On the other hand, I didn’t find the Crystal Stone, but when you think about it, such a precious thing couldn’t be on a measly bandit’s body.

The humans of this world still dare to kill so indiscriminately!

Demon beasts killed demon beasts, for the sole purpose of food, for their survival.

Humans killed demon beasts too, but that was only to gain wealth, for just a small portion of the beast’s body.

Wasting this would be too shameful!

Without politeness, I tear into the meat of the large white snake’s body. There is nothing to speak about concerning its flavor, of all raw meat, snake meat was one of the best. It was fresh, tender as well as tasty.

The bodies of the humans were intentionally ignored by me

Once the feast came to an end, I also conveniently ate up the snake’s gall and eyes. My body was nice and warm.

Within the snake meat was abundant spirit power, the snake gall is also a very good thing. I’ve heard before that the snake’s eyes was capable of making one wiser, since these people even knew to dig them out, they must surely have some benefits.

I have also taken note that in the System, the experience value of the Wolf G.o.d’s Golden Body is also slowly jumping.

There is still a lot of white snake meat remaining, after forcing myself to eat as much as I could, I could still only manage to eat about one-tenth of it. The remaining part shouldn’t be wasted either, I will have to bring it back.

This snake meat is very supplementary!

I want to let Miki and foster mother try some.

Good things need to be shared with everyone, to be really tasty.

Fortunately I was also an Acquired Fourth Level Snow Wolf, otherwise there would have been no way that I could have brought this back. Biting onto its body, I slowly dragged it in the direction of the snow wolf pack.

On the whole of the journey, everything was quiet. And I didn’t undergo any kind of disturbance.

Because of the large white snake’s scent, many demon beasts had already been frightened off. A demon beast’s instinct cannot be underestimated, if they didn’t have enough instinct, the demon beasts would have all died off by now.

On the way, I even smelled the scent of that black clothed person, but I carefully avoided him.

As I dragged the large white snake out of the forest, I just so happen to run into the returning snow wolf hunting group, there were approximately two hundred snow wolves in the group.

It’s was very clear, that they returned empty-handed since there weren’t any prey with them at all.

This is also a very regular occurrence. Even if this was the snow wolf pack, it is impossible for them to always return with something rewarding after a hunt. Which is all in accordance with logic.

What made me the happiest though, was the Miki was also with them.

The small snow wolf group recognized me, there was nothing I can do about that. Who’s fault was it that my appearance was as eye catching as before?

A coat full of grey, an entirely scarred body, and even a half-broken tail.

After obtaining the Lineage, I had asked Yao Yao. She had told me that the lineage will slowly transform my appearance, so I did need to panic.

One of the snow wolves that took the lead appeared to negotiate with me, its strength was quite strong. Even stronger than my foster mother’s, probably around Acquired Sixth Level, which was the strongest among this group of snow wolves.

It was trying to feel out my att.i.tude regarding my food. Regarding prey that has been caught alone by a creature of the the same race, the one who caught it has the right to decide how to handle it.

I tore off a large lump of meat and very generously let them enjoy it.

Out of the two hundred snow wolves, there were dozens that partic.i.p.ated in this lunch.

The other snow wolves stood to the side, they’d probably had some kind of harvest during their hunt.

Not out of expectations, Miki was unable to break in to eat.

She is already a young adult girl by now, according to the rules set for snow wolves, once a wolf grew to adulthood, when it is time for a meal, it would always be the wolves that have made the most contribution or have the greatest strength who eat first.

Holding a piece of snake meat in my mouth, I ran in front of little sister Miki.

The wolf pack set off yesterday night, it is already the afternoon of the next day, Miki probably hadn’t had anything to eat yet.

I can even see Miki gulping down her saliva.

In fact, I actually have a favorable impression of Miki. In this generation of snow wolves, my relation with her is considered the best!

In short, I appreciate her a whole lot, and I’m indebted to her care of before. The many she had brought food to me, although I was always ungrateful. But this kindness of her’s, it is something I have received.

Today, it will be my turn to give her food.

My heart is very satisfied, truly.

Putting down the snake meat in front of her, she was clear of my intentions and unhesitantly swallowed the snake meat with large mouthfuls.

Her way of eating, really made me worry about her choking.

It was only at this moment, that I took note of her strength. Judging from the weak spirit power that was coming from her, she is unexpectedly Acquired Third Level.

This is really a little against the natural order of things.

In my general experience, adult snow wolves had the average strength was Acquired Third Level to Acquired Fifth Level, with the cream of the crop of snow wolves being at Acquired Sixth Level.

In other words, if I hadn’t met any happy encounters, then wouldn’t she be the strongest one within this generation?

I was finally cleared on why when I was doing my challenge mission, the system had said besides Miki. I originally thought that it was because it had taken my intimate relation with her into account. Only now do I realise that it must have been because if I had gone to challenge Miki back then, I would most likely been beaten into a sorry state without even the slightest possibility of success!

She really does keep a low profile!

I complained within my belly with this one sentence.

More than fifty snow wolves were quickly satisfied, and there was still around one-tenth of the snake meat remaining.

I was able to see that they had held back, barely filling their stomachs.

A few dissatisfied wolves even licked the bloodstain on the gra.s.s, simply losing face. If this was seen by other races, I would have been too embarra.s.sed to admit to being a part of them.

The remaining snake meat was divided up into lumps, it seems it would be brought back and fed to the small snow wolves.

Miki also followed suit and ate up half while holding up the other half in her mouth.

I saw that she was still salivating.

There’s nothing to be done, while holding onto the snake meat, your mouth wouldn’t be firmly closed.

This foolish girl!

But I was used to this.

The wolf pack of this world is still the same group of animal, and still forms a society. But there are still places that were somewhat different from what I understood.

The wolves on earth, will not a.s.semble a group of over a thousand. They were all family units, one group roughly having around ten or so.

The wolves on earth can ruminate. The meat they eat can still be regurgitated to feed their children. But, I have yet to see a snow wolf ruminate.

Furthermore, feeding the small snow wolves is the responsibility of the entire snow wolf pack, not just the responsibility of the cub’s parents.

Perhaps it was because of this one reason, did the talent of the snow wolves thrive like this!

Who knew?

I also did not think much about it, it all only exists in my mind, so whatever!

It’s all “an eating wolf is soft spoken, a wolf that has taken care from you will be lenient”, the eyes that this group of snow wolves used to look at me had clearly become much gentler. I reckon that they also discovered my strength!

The group of snow wolves once again set foot on the journey home, but I have a concern within my heart.

What am I concerned about?

The Crystal Stone of the large white snake!

Running, I once again departed from the group.

As I departed from the group, Miki gave me a glance, but she did not say anything.
