animal ears

"Well, Norman, are you sure you want to follow me all the time?" Cole, who was weeding and turning the soil in the field, finally couldn't help it, and turned to ask Norman, who had been lying on the side of the road under the tree and dozing bored.

Hearing this, Norman curled his lips, and it took him a while to reply: "How could I have followed you all the time, I just wanted to rest here just now."

"..."

But you've been here since morning!

It's not that Cole is stingy, it's just that he can't ignore the way Norman has been staring at him since he left the house in the morning, as if... he was seen by a predator.

The feeling of being treated as food is very strange, so Cole paused and suggested in a low voice: "Is there nothing you want to go today? For example, go to find Ley, or go outside the village with Uncle Yitzhak to see something."

"I don't want to go." He rejected Cole's proposal, and Norman continued to close his eyes and rest.

"..."

There was nothing he could do about the wayward Norman, and he sighed secretly, so Cole had to continue doing his own thing.

When the soil was finally dug, seeing the scorching sun, Cole was so tired and sweating that he went to the nearby river to drink water. When he came back, he found that the land he had worked so hard all day had been messed up. The seeds that had been sown and germinated were also dug out and trampled to pieces.

What is this...

Cole felt distressed, and hurriedly went down to the ground to see the traces left on the ground. It should be the grunt beast that often came to the village to steal things. Although this kind of beast is small and timid, it comes out in groups , It's hard to resist, so generally you can only consider yourself unlucky when you encounter a grunt, but isn't the grunt only dispatched at night?Why did they rush into the village in broad daylight?

With doubts, Cole stood up and looked at the ruined land... By the way, where is Norman?

Thinking of this, Cole began to look around, but he hadn't seen Norman since just now.

For some reason, there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. Cole hurriedly walked to the place where Norman was lying just now, and touched the grass on the ground. It was still warm, indicating that Norman had not gone far, so he yelled a few times around: "Norman!"

But there was no response for a long time.

Cole became even more anxious, staring at the footprints left by the Grunt on the ground, gritted his teeth, and chased after it.

After chasing halfway, Cole found a shoe that had been left behind on the ground. After careful identification, he found that it was really Norman's shoe!Now Cole's heart went straight to his throat!

Norman!

Holding the shoe tight, he continued to chase as fast as he could.

The Grunt's footprints extended all the way to the outside of the village. Cole didn't think too much about it. He only cared about Norman's safety now. He also knew that it would be very risky for him to walk out of the village alone. If Norman hadn't been captured by the Grunt Yes, you will be in danger.

However, I can't think about it so much!If you go to find other orcs to help, it will be difficult to catch up with the grunts. In case Norman encounters any trouble at this time... Cole shook his head violently, shuttled through the narrow forest path, sweating profusely He didn't care about being scratched by the thorns, he just wanted to find Norman quickly.

Even if Eli hadn't entrusted Norman to his care, he wouldn't have left someone in danger alone, just like himself back then, no one would have rescued him until he died, since he had already experienced that kind of loneliness The sorrow of dying, so no matter what, he must find Norman, absolutely, never let Norman be in danger alone!

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, Cole heard the sound of fighting not far ahead. He hurriedly followed the sound and sneaked over cautiously. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close, he smelled a pungent smell of blood, followed by a sharp roar. In the ear, Cole opened his eyes, it was a grunt beast!

No!It's the grunt herd!

Dozens of grunts full of fangs suddenly appeared in front of them, and a few of their companions twitched lying beside them. They seemed to be very angry. Dozens of grunts circled around and kept attacking something with their sharp beaks. , when Cole continued to approach, the familiar yellow and black fur suddenly flashed into his eyes.

...Norman!

Norman gnawed fiercely at the Grunt that attacked him, and there was a lot of blood on its beautiful fur. However, although the Grunt's combat effectiveness was not as high as that of the Orc, they had an absolute advantage in number, and Norman was The cub was injured not long ago, and the grunts probably sensed this, so they began to besiege Norman in groups.

Cole covered his mouth and didn't dare to vent his anger. He stared at the battle scene in front of him, thinking about how to help Norman.

rushed over?This is definitely courting death.

Think again... Suddenly, some strange sounds caught Cole's attention, and he raised his head.

...there is!

While Cole was thinking, Norman seemed to be starting to lose his strength. The grunts might have seen that Norman's fighting power was weakening, so they attacked him even more frantically.

"Oooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-oo" was bitten on his arm, and Norman frowned and screamed in pain, then shook off the grunt beast and continued to fight back and wrestle with them.

These cunning grunts, I am not afraid of you!

It's a pity that due to fighting alone, Norman's physical strength gradually exhausted after turning over two grunt beasts in a row. Not only that, the wound that had not healed last time opened again, and the grunt beast saw this opportunity and slammed it from behind. As soon as it hit, Norman's footsteps softened and he rolled directly to the ground.

Oops!

Norman yelled that it was not good, but it seemed too late. The grunts had already swarmed up at this time. Seeing that the sharp fangs were about to bite his fragile neck and abdomen, Norman still desperately wanted to get up Fighting, but unfortunately he was already out of breath and exhausted.

Damn──

Norman gritted his teeth, planning to fight to the death!

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from above, attracting everyone's attention.

"Hey, grunts──!"

Norman looked up, and was surprised to find that the person who made the sound was... Cole? !

How did he follow here?

Glancing at Norman's astonished eyes, Cole calmly stared at the dozens of grunts underground, and the fangs of the grunts also turned to him, and suddenly, a grunt slammed into Cole's direction first, Norman hurriedly dragged his body up and wanted to go there, but Cole jumped down, as if holding a rope in his hand, and when he fell to the ground, facing the ferocious grunt, Cole slammed As soon as the rope was pulled, a huge object immediately fell from the top of the head.

"...!"

How could Norman not know what it was, it was known as the forest devil, the bloody bee's nest!

It was too late to say it, and at the moment when the bloody bees' nest landed, hundreds of bloody bees swarmed out, and the scene became chaotic. Cole was driving away the dense bloody bees while looking for Norman, but was suddenly caught A force clasped his wrist hard.

It's Norman!

There was a grunt screaming in pain from behind, and Norman didn't dare to relax for a moment. He desperately led Cole to escape, because the bloody bees were also targeting them. If such a terrible animal was caught up by them, it would definitely dead!I remembered that before, Norman had seen the corpse of an orc whose blood had been sucked dry by the bloody bee. He didn't want himself and Cole to become like that!

The two fled frantically in the woods, avoiding the bloody bees that had been chasing after them. Finally, a lake appeared in front of them, and Norman jumped into it without saying a word.But the bloody bee couldn't leave so easily, so Norman quietly took Cole to dive to the other side of the lake, and when they climbed to the shore, they were too tired to even stand up.

Fortunately, the bloody bee didn't come after him.

Norman clutched his throbbing chest, his throat was filled with the smell of blood, he looked at Cole who was lying on the ground, crawled over, panted and asked, "Are... are you okay... are you..."

Cole opened his eyes and nodded feebly.

At the next moment, Norman grabbed Cole's clothes and shouted angrily, "You idiot! Why did you follow here? Do you know how dangerous it was just now!"

Cole, who hadn't recovered yet, could only take out the shoe that Norman had left behind that he picked up earlier, and said with difficulty, "Because, because...I'm worried about you."

Hearing this, Norman suddenly let go of Cole, slapped the shoe off Cole's hand with one hand, and yelled at Cole angrily: "Who wants you to worry! I'm not happy at all!" Then he turned and ran away .

Cole didn't even have the strength to stop him.

After a while, Cole suddenly heard footsteps beside him, turned his head slightly, and saw that it was Norman holding a bunch of fruits.

"You're back." Cole smiled.

"...How do you know I won't leave you alone?"

"I know Norman will come back." Cole said firmly, "Norman won't leave me."

No reason, just believe so.

Now Norman couldn't bear it anymore, and scattered the fruit on the ground, his eyes turned red, his nose sucked, and he immediately threw himself into Cole's arms and cried loudly: "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat I should lose my temper with you... Woohoo, the field was destroyed by the grunt beast, I just wanted to vent my anger on you, but I didn't expect to drag you into it, causing you to be chased by the bloody bees, I'm really sorry..."

Looking at Norman who hugged him tightly and cried tears of tears in his arms, Cole felt a warm current in his heart.

Touching the little orc in his arms, Cole lowered his head, gently wiped Norman's tears, and said gently: "Norman is very brave, I have seen it, thank you for everything you have done for me Don't say anything, I'm sorry, didn't Norman also desperately protect me from the bloody bees?"

"But..." Norman sniffed, tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Norman." Cole apologized sincerely, "It's my fault for making you worry so much."

"Cole..."

Cole hugged the little orc, touched his head, and said gently again: "Also, thank you for protecting me so desperately just now."

"Cole!"

The little orc, who was crying endlessly, finally put away his tears. Through the light of his tears, he looked at Cole, and suddenly his heart started beating wildly again.

I really want to rub Cole...

However, just when Norman was about to do this, Cole let him go, looked around for himself, then turned around, thought for a while, and said, "I think we may have lost our way, calculate the distance we just escaped here It should be far away from the village. Let's take a rest later and go to the place where the sun sets. I still remember that the village is on the west side, and I hope to return to the village before dark...Huh? You look ugly, yes Are you hurt?"

"..."

"Norman?"

"I'm fine!" Norman turned around with unwilling eyes, pouted his mouth, and bit the fruit angrily.

He was actually pushed away by Cole!

He was unexpectedly pushed away by Cole when he wanted to show his favor!

Cole still acted like he didn't know!

Norman just felt angry, hurt and unwilling.

But it’s inexplicable for Cole. He was fine just now, so why did he suddenly get angry again?

"Hehe." At this moment, there was a soft and pleasant laughter from behind the shade of the tree.

"Who?!" Norman immediately became alert and stood up to protect Cole.

And that person didn't hide, but walked out generously.

It's an adult female. He has long gray hair, a big cloak, and beautiful purple eyes. Now he is tilting his head and looking at this side with a smile. However, to the shock of the two, There are actually two animal ears on the head of the adult female in front of her!
