Chapter 171 Wherever Mother is, there I am
The family left the tribe with thousands of tribesmen lining the streets to see them off.
"Mom, I feel like I'm about to go wandering." Yitian felt a little melancholy after her grandparents said goodbye with tears in their eyes. Suddenly, she felt that going out to play was not so interesting anymore.
"Third sister, if you don't want to go far away, you can stay home. The family needs a backbone." Chi Shiwu's heart flew thousands of miles away. He had heard his mother and father mention how vast and free the world outside was a long time ago, and he had been looking forward to this day.
"I don't want to. I have to go wherever my mother is." Although Yitian's fox eyes showed reluctance to leave the tribe and grandparents, her mother was the most important!
"I am also a little reluctant to leave our beautiful home!" Mo Xiaowu said, looking back every few steps.
"Sisters, don't be sad. We are going out to play. We will come back when we have had enough fun." Chi Ershijiu has let himself go. He feels that the sky is high and the sea is vast, allowing him to swim freely. His voice is more excited and happy than ever before.
"You male kids are really heartless." Although Chi Lao San also yearned for the outside world, he was indeed a little nervous and reluctant to leave his home for the first time.
"These female cubs seem carefree on weekdays, but they are actually very emotional inside." Lin Yeqing waited for Ruan Tang to come closer to him and whispered to her.
Ruan Tang didn't care. She understood her children. The reason they were so reluctant to leave was mainly because when they said goodbye just now, the old people hugged, kissed and cried, which affected the children's emotions. These emotions came and went quickly. In a short while, when they went out and saw new things, they would immediately forget all the sad things.
She smiled and jumped onto Chi Yuan's snake body, asked Lin Yeqing to get ready, and said to her: "It's normal for children to feel a little uneasy when they go on a long journey for the first time."
She glanced at the whole family and said in a cheerful voice, "But fortunately, we are all together. Okay, babies, let's take our infinite longing for the unknown world and set off!"
"Let's go! I'll lead the way for everyone!" Chi Ershijiu was even faster than his fifteenth brother and swam to the front of the team.
"You lead the way? Little Twenty-Nine, with your sense of direction, will you lead us into that ditch?" Yihang remembered a previous hunting trip. Little Twenty-Nine also excitedly said that he would lead the way, but ended up leading them all to an unknown valley.
"Big brother, please don't expose my old secrets. I'm very good now. I learned a lot from Mo Ran's father!" Chi Ershijiu was a little embarrassed when his elder brother mentioned his embarrassing things, but since then, he has been learning from Mo Ran's father very seriously. Now he can't say that he has a living map in his head, but he can clearly identify the direction.
"Third sister, look at them, they are so happy, you should be happy too." Mo Xiaosi wore a shell necklace given to her by Grandma Tu Lan around her neck. When she walked, the shell necklace swayed and made a pleasant sound. Listening to the sound, she felt that even if she kept on traveling, she would not be bored.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go." Yitian was already adjusting her mood. Her limbs began to speed up, and her big pure white tail swayed left and right while she was running. It was so cute.
"Sisters, hurry up and stop being sad. There are endless possibilities ahead. Why don't we think about what the first interesting thing we encounter is?"
Chi Shiwu is not only eloquent, but also thoughtful. He knows that his sisters are going on a long journey for the first time and are full of uncertainty and anxiety about the unknown. He moves closer to his sisters and tries to find topics to divert their attention while swimming.
"What will we encounter? I heard from mother and Aunt Ye that the Western Continent was burned down by the fire of the Beast God two years ago. Are we going to see a bare land?" Mo Xiaowu remembered that her mother and Aunt Ye had mentioned it when they were chatting before. She had always been curious in her heart, is the fire of the Beast God really that powerful?
The entire Western Continent, how vast and wide it must be, can it really be burned down?
"Sister Xiaowu, you don't understand this. The fire happened two years ago. After a whole spring, summer, autumn and winter, the burned forest should have grown new green. Haven't you heard the saying 'Wildfires cannot extinguish it; spring breeze will bring new life'?" Chi Shiwu remembered a saying his mother once said, and it was just right to apply it now!
"Yeah, yeah, you're the only one who knows the most!" Boss Chi rolled her dark red eyes. She didn't understand what was going on with Little Fifteen's brain. There were many things their mother taught them that they couldn't remember, but Little Fifteen could remember them after hearing them once. She was envious in her heart, but she was the older sister and could never show it.
Chi Shiwu chuckled and said smoothly, "Hehe, no, no, it's just my brothers and sisters who are letting me go. I know. Anyway, believe me, by the time we reach the Western Continent, there will be green grass and saplings growing again."
"Let's have a competition to see who finds the first prey and who can hunt the prey first!" Mo Xiaoqi didn't want his third sister to be in a bad mood, so he suggested.
"That's great!" Boss Mo knew his Ninth Brother was rather lazy, and seeing that he wasn't in high spirits, he asked his Ninth Brother beside him, "Ninth Brother, shall we have a competition?"
Luo Chen paced lazily, his fox eyes glancing around lazily. Although he had no interest, he couldn't help but discover that there was a prey not far away.
He quickened his pace. "We can compete, but since it's a competition, how will the reward be for winning? And how will the punishment be for losing?"
"The loser is not allowed to eat tonight and has to keep watch for everyone." Mo Xiaoqi said.
"What about the winner?" Luo Chen glanced to the left front from time to time, waiting for Mo Xiaoqi to tell him the winner's reward, and then he rushed over immediately. He was sure to get the first place.
"The first one can make a request to the last one!" Yihang also joined in. Rushing on the road was too boring, and he also wanted his sisters to forget the sadness brought by separation as soon as possible.
"Any request is fine." Luo Chen was ready to go, and used his eyes to tell Boss Mo beside him that the target was the front left.
Boss Mo understood his ninth brother's expression in a second, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
"Well, any requirements!" Yihang was also ready to start.
"What do you think, sisters?" Luo Chen asked.
"Luo Chen, it's too obvious. We all know that you can hear sounds from far away." Yi Han exposed him.
Luo Chen: “…”
Seventh sister always sees through things and speaks out!
"It's okay. Our opponent is strong, and it will be more interesting to compete with him. Let's compete." Yi Han's words unexpectedly aroused everyone's desire to win, and they all said that they would compete.
"Okay, then, the game starts now?" Luo Chen's front paws were ready to rush out at any time.
"Let's start, Brother Nine, don't blame me for not reminding you. We are not only competing to see who finds the prey first and who catches the first prey, but also to see who hunts the most prey!" Chi Shiwu is the fastest and his fighting ability is not worse than his brothers and sisters. He knows that Brother Nine must have found the prey, but he is not worried at all and is full of confidence!
"I know. I'm warning you, you can't snatch the prey I found. Don't tell me that the first come first served strategy!" Luo Chen had already rushed out. Seeing Chi Shiwu following closely beside him, he warned him.
"There's no such rule! Whoever catches it first gets it. Sorry, Brother Nine!" Chi Shiwu would never tell his brothers about first come first served. Mother said that the strong ones are the ones who make the rules.
After he said that, he swam quickly to the left front.
"You, you!" Luo Chen was angry, but he couldn't outrun Little Fifteen. He said to Mo Lao beside him, "He runs fast, so let him help us catch the prey first. We can run faster and snatch it from him!"
"Yeah! We should have done this a long time ago, Brother Ninth." Boss Mo nodded vigorously. Little Fifteen always snatched the prey found by him and Brother Ninth. Brother Ninth always said it was okay and just give in to him. Did Brother Ninth finally give up today?
Very good!
"Wait for me, Mo Xiaoqi, hurry up, I don't want to be the last one!" Yitian urged Mo Xiaoqi behind her.
"I'm running, third sister, don't worry. How could we be the last in terms of combat effectiveness? Come with me, third sister." Mo Xiaoqi didn't exert any strength just now because he noticed that there was movement behind a big tree not far ahead. Now that he was sure of it, he immediately called his third sister.
"Here they come, keep your voice down. The little snakes love to steal prey. We have to hurry while they are chasing Xiaojiu!" Yitian looked at the little snakes vigilantly, and was relieved when she saw them running very fast at the front of the team.
"Yeah, I know, that's why I run slowly. Come with me, Third Sister!" Mo Xiaoqi felt that his brain was quite useful.
Lin Yeqing watched the children chasing each other, talking and shouting. Her feet were a little out of control and she wanted to jump off her partner's back and run with them. She said to Ruan Tang in front of her, "Hahahaha, Tangtang, you're right. The little ones' attention is the easiest to be diverted."
Ruan Tang said, "They've loved competition since they were little, whether it's leveling up, hunting, or even eating, they have to compete to see who finishes first. Let them play and have fun."
