The sky quickly darkened, and he dragged his weary body to a large rock, curling up against it while tightly gripping a small knife in his hand, thinking that if danger approached, at least he would have some means of defense.
His eyelids fluttered weakly a few times before finally closing slowly, exhaustion washing over him like a tidal wave.
Even as hunger gnawed at him, it could not suppress the overwhelming drowsiness.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes hid behind the dense underbrush, quietly observing the movements nearby. Suddenly, Muen sprang forth like a flash of lightning, opening his mouth to precisely bite down on the Golden Python at its vital spot. With his claws pinning the serpent's head, he effortlessly tore it in half, the entire process clean and swift, making only the faintest sound like leaves rustling in the wind.
Muen picked up the python's carcass and quickly ran off, discarding it in the grass before racing back with lightning speed.
Noticing that this "female" seemed to be in a deep sleep, he gently crouched not far from Anyuan, staring at him intently. In his heart, he thought: This boy is really handsome; I wish he could be my female.
After all, he was already 19 years old.
In the Orc Continent, orcs come of age at 18 and can then seek out females to start families and live happy lives.
However, females are scarce in this world, with a male-to-female ratio reaching 5:1. This leads many males to search desperately but still fail to find their own female.
At that moment, Muen felt his heart racing with excitement, secretly delighted at the thought that he might soon have a partner.
After a while, worry crept in again; he sensed that he might be shivering. Was he cold?
He wondered if he had forgotten that transforming into his beast form would keep him warm.
Muen thought to himself as he gently moved forward, stopping only when he was about half a meter away from Anyuan. He then stretched out his limbs, contentedly closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
As dawn broke, Anyuan slowly awakened to find several large red fruits beside him, thoughtfully cushioned by leaves underneath.
A wave of confusion washed over him as he pondered, Who placed these here?
The tug-of-war between hunger and reason played out in his mind for a while. Ultimately, he dared not eat the fruits; after all, if they were poisonous, it could cost him his life.
Dragging his sore legs, Anyuan slowly moved away. Muen hung his head and tail low, quietly following behind, filled with disappointment as he muttered to himself, Why doesn’t he want to eat the food I prepared? It makes me so sad.
After observing for a while, Muen noticed that this "female" would first check for animal bite marks on the fruits before eating them. If there were none, she would return the fruit to its place. Now he understood the reason behind her hesitation.
Anyuan walked to the small stream from yesterday and quickly washed his face and feet before continuing to wander aimlessly.
He didn’t even know where he was headed when suddenly his foot kicked something. Looking down, he saw it was one of those fruits from earlier, though a piece had been bitten off by a wild animal. Anyuan felt a surge of joy: This is great!
He hurriedly wiped the dirt off the fruit and carefully took a bite. Instantly, he found it incredibly delicious; the flavor was sweet and fragrant like a peach.
He took a few steps toward that direction and soon picked up several more fruits along the way. He ate as he collected them until he was full, deliberately saving a few for tomorrow.
