To be king [Greek mythology]

However, it was absorbed by the animal teeth, and the yellow animal teeth became white and shiny again.

Surpus raised his eyebrows in surprise, tied the completely black rope and hung it around his neck.

Deep in the forest.

In the dark underground, a pair of golden snake eyes suddenly opened.

Chapter 13

Thurps hung the tooth around his neck, pulled it, and found that the rope was more elastic than expected—or more tenacious.

He took a look at his luck and touched the animal teeth.

The surface of the animal tooth is as smooth as jade, and after rubbing it for a while, one can feel a trace of warmth transmitted from the animal tooth, which penetrates into the soul and radiates from the depths of the body.

Although it is a good thing, and it feels good to hold, but the red light just now looks very scary.

But it's useless to think so much now.

Thurpus stood up, and saw a few snakes standing upright and staring at his grain reserves drying in the vent of the cave, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

"Get them out of here!" Thurps lightly kicked the mongoose lying on the ground with his toe.

The meerkat gave him a paw backhand, but Thurpus dodged it.

Thurps smiled at him proudly.

The meerkat shook Thurpus's eyes, which probably meant "you really are an idiot", and ran to the entrance of the cave and screamed a few times. The snakes moved when they heard the sound, and followed the sound of their scales rubbing against the ground and hissing. The sound gradually moved away from the cave.

Surps looked at the mess in front of the cave, and sighed, the feeling of chills on his back finally disappeared with the retreat of the snakes.

Thurpus felt that he hadn't dared to catch snakes recently.

He was a little worried.

He wanted to save more food in autumn when everything was fat, but Minos said that those people might have been sent by the lord of the city-state of Crete to pick him up. Thurpus thought it might be possible. He was about to leave, so Minos was allowed to return empty-handed several times in a row.

Until before, because he had no food reserves and was really insecure, he prevented Minos from continuing to do that kind of useless work.

As a result, something happened when he went out.

Although it didn't really lead to bad results in the end, it left a deep shadow in Thurps' heart-just like those intruders executed his father in front of him and his brothers, that scene has always been remembered. Thurps buried it deep in his heart and didn't want to think about it.

This time it was better than that time.

At least the person who did him harm is dead.

The consequences of slacking off because they might be able to leave this possibility before have already been reflected, that is, if they don't gain much in the past few days, they may have to start running out of food.

Although eating those wild fruits alone can satisfy their hunger, what really gives them the strength to carry out hunting and other survival activities is mainly meat.

Judging from the conversations of those people before, Radamandes and Sarpedon probably won't give up until they get this animal tooth.

If they really kept blocking the only safe west exit of the forest, Thurpus felt that it was absolutely impossible for Minos and him to return to the city-state of Crete with their small bodies and tiny strength.

A few adults at random can send them straight back to Hades and into the arms of Tartarus.

So he...maybe have to prepare ahead of time to spend his third winter in this forest.

Ah, just thinking about winter makes me feel a little cold.

However, the weather in this place is not bad. Compared with the severe winters experienced in the twenty years of my previous life, this forest is much better.

At least it won't freeze into a big lump of ice shortly after a basin of water is placed.

But I just don't know if Minos can stand it.

Although Thurps has always been indifferent to Minos and said angry words before, he can still tell the sequence of things clearly.

The most important thing now is how to get Minos and himself out of this forest. He didn't leave before because of the shackles on his feet. After he got out, he was caught, and he must have been whipped and thrown to serve the nobles. Or civilians.

Thurps's two lifetimes add up to almost 30 years, and he has never done anything to serve others.

I have never done it before, I don’t want to do it, and I don’t want to experience it at all now and in the future, not to mention being beaten and killed if the service is not good.

But it's different with Minos. Although he may have to live with Minos for a period of time after being freed from slavery, this is almost a matter of benefit and no harm.

Don't take advantage of the bastard, not to mention Minos' face of "you take advantage of me, don't take advantage of me, I feel uncomfortable all over".

Thinking of this, Thurps stood up, ready to pick up the stone knife he lost in the chaos before.

He doesn't have the energy to sharpen another stone knife. Now that the stone knife that was originally used as a spare has been given to Minos, he will not take it back with the cheek.

Minos spent five or six days fiddling with a stone bowl, and it took him a month to re-sharpen a stone knife.

Thurpus thought so, and Minos grabbed his wrist just as he was about to leave the cave.

He glanced back at Minos, his eyes gliding across the other's face, and finally fell on his hand.

Minos didn't seem to notice Surpus' pointed eyes, so he stood up with Surpus' strength, "I'll go, you have a good rest."

Thurps looked at him distrustfully.

He also wondered if the dead child would return empty-handed—although he always brought back a lot of fruit in the past, Thurps didn't want to be vegetarian at all recently.

"I'll bring back your stone knife, as well as the prey." Minos met Thurpus' gaze, and tightened his wrist, "Trust me."

Thurps stared at him for a while, then looked away, then withdrew his hand and followed him.

Minos breathed a sigh of relief, smiled relaxedly at Surpus' back, stroked the animal skin bag and stone knife on his waist, turned and walked out.

Surpus thought for a long time, but still felt that Minos was not reliable, so he also walked out of the cave and began to look for stones suitable for sharpening stone knives.

Just think of it as a spare.

The most indispensable thing in the forest is stones. Thurps quickly found a stone of suitable shape and ran back to the cave with it.

The mongoose spread its limbs on the ground lazily basking in the sun.

Surpus walked over amusedly and poked its stomach with a stone.

The meerkat half-opened its eyes, and glanced around Surpus with its small black eyes. After making sure that it didn't bring back the snake this time, it turned over to hide its belly and continued to bask in the sun.

Surpus didn't bother it anymore, and squatted next to a stone that had been smoothed with a stone in his hand, and began to find the right place to sharpen the knife.

But the mongoose shuddered for a moment, stood up, stared at a tree outside the cave, and sniffed.

On the tree, a snake with red scales that was out of place with the surroundings spit out pitch-black letters, and a pair of golden snake eyes closely watched Thurpus, who was squatting beside the stone and sharpening his knife.

—and the fangs around his neck and the ropes that bound them.

The mongoose ran under the tree and looked up at the snake.

The snake withdrew its gaze from Surpus and looked down at the mongoose.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and the mongoose ran back to its nest in despair.

Thurps glanced at it, not paying attention.

The red snake slowly climbed down the tree, and while approaching the cave, its body swelled up, until it reached the entrance of the cave, its body had grown so large that it couldn't squeeze in at all.

Thurps, whose light was completely blocked, felt a little uncomfortable.

He turned his head and glanced at the cave mouth.

Facing the pair of giant snake eyes.

No wonder the mongoose returned to its nest.

Thurps thought, shivering.

He felt that he never wanted to see a snake again in his life.

"Human..." The huge red snake spit out the letter, "My father's good tooth, where did you get it?"

I can still talk about it!people!talk!

This cliff is another existence with a terrifying background.

"This?" Thurpus was expressionless and his mind was blank. He fiddled with the animal teeth hanging around his neck, lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head again, but his mouth twitched: "Guess."

Thurps regretted it after saying that.

The giant red snake obviously didn't expect to get such an answer. It was silent for a moment, and its eyes scanned Thurps up and down.

"Human." The snake's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "Look at me."

Thurps raised his head helplessly, and his eyes widened when his eyes fell on the giant snake—scared.

The giant red snake stepped back a little, allowing the light to penetrate into the cave and allowing Thurpus to see his body clearly.

It was a snake with nine heads and a huge body, entrenched in the open space outside the cave, its red scales glowing brightly in the sunlight.

Thurps was stunned.

Be silly!Stupid human beings!

The giant red snake shook its head proudly, the arcs of the nine heads were a little uncoordinated, and they collided with each other immediately.

Thurps crouched down and covered his face.

Although each head looks very scary when viewed separately, but the visual effect of the uncoordinated bumping together like a bouncy ball is simply stupid, isn't it!

——I just don't know whether to continue to be stunned or laugh out loud.

Chapter 14

"Human beings..." The impact of nine heads talking together is much greater than one head talking.

Thurpus rubbed his face, hardly wanting to look up at the stupid nine-headed snake.

The red giant snake looked a little bright in the sun, and the nine pairs of snake eyes looked at Thurpus, who was squatting on the ground and looked quite restless.

The head in the middle also wanted to get closer, but because of
