C17 The Thief Who Stole the Egg

"Human, it tastes so good!" Chang'e shouted as she took a big bite of the thick white turtle soup and stuffed a piece of meat into her small cherry mouth. "Mmm, the meat is much better than the fish and beast meat!" After saying that, she started to savor the taste.

Tortoise soup! It was a tonic! How could it not be delicious? Wu Xiaoming couldn't help but roll his eyes at Chang'e. It was so comfortable! He felt so warm after drinking it. It was just too tiring. In order to break through the skin of the giant turtle, he had to use twenty Stone Blades.

"Human, if only I could eat it!" Chang'e looked at Wu Xiaoming expectantly. In her heart, there seemed to be nothing that could stump him.

Just as Wu Xiaoming was about to answer, he heard, "Human Emperor, try this egg. It's delicious!" Uncle Di pulled out ten basketball-sized turtle eggs from the fire and placed them beside Wu Xiaoming. As he spoke, he wiped the ash from the corner of his mouth.

"Mmm, Chang'e, Dong, you guys try it too." Wu Xiaoming took out a total of fifty fully formed turtle eggs from the giant turtle's body. Wu Xiaoming waited for the turtle eggs to cool down a little, then he peeled open the scorched eggshell and stuffed the pieces into his mouth one by one. It was delicious. These turtle eggs were really delicious. Tortoise eggs were indeed turtle eggs. With turtle eggs, there would be giant turtles. Looking at the ferocious appearance of the giant turtle, it could be used as a mount. It was not slow, but it was also extremely fierce and huge. If there were fifty or sixty giant turtles last year, the Snow Beasts would not be so rampant. Wu Xiaoming had completely forgotten that the giant turtles would probably hibernate in winter.

"Uncle Di, gather the warriors and prepare the torches. We are going to steal the turtle eggs!" Wu Xiaoming suddenly stood up and shouted. Chang'e coughed and coughed, "Human, what are you doing? We haven't eaten our fill yet!" She looked at Wu Xiaoming with a strange expression. The other clansmen also looked at their clan leader with astonishment. Some of them were even stuffing meat into their mouths! "Ehem, everyone, continue eating. Let's talk after we finish eating!"

"Human Emperor, the torches are ready. Are you really going? It's too dangerous to go out at night." Uncle Di said worriedly. He didn't know how many times it had happened. Every time, Human Emperor would take such a risk. Although everyone was always safe and sound, they still couldn't help but worry.

"En, don't worry, Uncle Di. You said that those giant turtles will be our mounts …" Before Wu Xiaoming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Uncle Di. "It's too dangerous! Those giant turtles are not to be trifled with. I'm afraid that we, a dozen or so warriors, won't be able to defeat them!"

"Alright, Uncle Di, I'm not talking about adult turtles. I'm afraid that even if Patriarch Shennong came over, he wouldn't be able to deal with those giant turtles that are a hundred meters long. Alright, you will know in the future. Everyone, prepare to set off. Rock Leader, the four warriors will stay behind. Light up the torches and prepare the weapons. Let's go!" After saying that, Wu Xiaoming took out a torch that had been soaked in animal fat for more than ten days. He took the lead and walked out of the cave into the pitch-black wilderness.

Nothing happened along the way. They could only hear the roars and wails of various wild beasts. When they were almost at the place where the giant turtles laid eggs, Uncle Di pulled Wu Xiaoming back. "There is movement ahead. Be careful."

Wu Xiaoming and the other villagers quickly laid on the ground. With the help of the hazy moonlight and the light from the fiery red torch, they saw a white animal digging the ground with all its might. It seemed that it was also here to steal eggs like them. The key thing was that the animal was as big as a puppy from his previous life. Wu Xiaoming felt an indescribable sense of familiarity when he saw a small animal.

"Everyone, surround it. Remember to catch it alive. Don't hurt it." Wu Xiaoming carefully reminded his clansmen. If they didn't warn these terrifying fellows, the little guy would probably be dead.

Uncle Di and the others automatically spread out and quietly approached the little guy who had even dug its head into the ground. When everyone arrived at the designated location, Uncle Di shouted, "Put it down!"

The thirteen javelins surrounded the snow-white animal like a fence. They didn't hurt a single hair on it.

The little guy finally reacted and crawled out of the mud. It bared its teeth and roared angrily at the crowd. Wu Xiaoming was completely conquered by it. It was too cute. With the help of the light from the torch, he could clearly see the little guy's appearance. Its snow-white fur was like a snow-white toy doll. Its sharp mouth corners and cute eyes kept turning left and right. The strange thing was that it actually had two long tails. It looked like a fox from his previous life, but it was much cuter.

"Uncle Di, do you know what kind of animal this is?" Wu Xiaoming could only ask the experienced Uncle Di. His experience was the most, and he had always been following the Shennong Clan Chief.

"I have never seen it before, but it's pretty cute. Human Emperor, you shouldn't kill it. It's too small and doesn't have much meat." Wu Xiaoming was speechless when he saw the clan members' approving expressions. Why did the primitive people only think of eating? How cute and cute was this little guy? It would be great to keep it as a toy. Thinking about it, Wu Xiaoming felt pain in his heart. After transmigrating for so long, he didn't even know how he survived without a phone or a network.

"Don't let it run!" While Wu Xiaoming and the clan members were talking, the little guy actually bit off the javelin that was surrounding it. Just as it was about to bite off the second one, Wu Xiaoming discovered it. Uncle Di reacted the fastest and grabbed the little guy's mouth, preventing it from biting anything else.

"Haha, what sharp teeth! Little guy, your entire body is like snow. Hmm, I'll call you Xiaobai. If you follow me in the future, I guarantee you will eat well and drink well. Tie me up first!" Wu Xiaoming felt like he was the king of a mountain and was trying to snatch his wife away.

The little guy cried out, and its eyes were filled with grievance. The clan members were very good at tying up beasts. In a few seconds, the little guy was tied up.

"Human Emperor, Xiaobai might be injured. Its hind legs are broken, and its chest is also bitten." The clansmen tied up the beast reported to Wu Xiaoming.

"Yes, we will treat it when we get back. Everyone, hurry up and dig the eggs. Remember to dig the wet ground. Remember to dig in a good place. Understood?" Wu Xiaoming pointed to his clansmen and found a place where the sand was obviously not dry yet.

When they dug out all of them, Wu Xiaoming counted carefully. There were actually more than 600 basketball-sized eggs in this nest. The clansmen who dug the most actually dug out more than 3,000 eggs. It seemed that they couldn't dig all of them. He originally wanted to catch all of them in one fell swoop. Each clan member carried four huge beast skins on their backs, enough to transport four to five thousand eggs. He didn't expect that there would actually be so many.

"Uncle Di, bring the four warriors and pack the eggs. The rest of you continue to dig the eggs. When we fill our beast skins, we can leave." Wu Xiaoming let his clansmen work together. After all, the night in the wilderness was too dangerous. No one knew if a beast would suddenly appear in the darkness.

When Wu Xiaoming dug out two more and was about to dig the third, Uncle Di came over, "Human Emperor, all of your beast skins are filled. Let's leave quickly!" Uncle Di looked around as he spoke, afraid that some ferocious beast would suddenly appear in the darkness.

Wu Xiaoming nodded and filled up the cave that he had dug halfway. "Uncle Di, you and the other four warriors inform the clansmen to retreat immediately."

After the clansmen had gathered, Wu Xiaoming casually placed the Xiaobai on the beast skin that was filled with the eggs. With a torch in hand, he dragged the beast skin and led the clan members to quickly leave the river.

After walking for a few minutes, the Xiaobai on the beast skin suddenly started to cry out. Wu Xiaoming immediately signaled his clansmen to stop. He knew that in the dark night, beasts had better hearing and vision than humans. The Xiaobai was warning them that there might be a powerful beast in front of them.

Sure enough, just two minutes after they stopped, the roars and fighting sounds of Giant Beasts came from in front of them. Wu Xiaoming informed his clansmen to take a detour and continue forward.

They walked and stopped along the way. They kept taking detours. Originally, they could have reached home in more than an hour, but they had to walk for two hours. However, Wu Xiaoming was also secretly glad that they did not bump into a group of fierce beasts on the way.

"What a cute little fellow! Where did you catch it? It will be very uncomfortable to tie it up. Who tied it up?" As expected, Chang'e saw the pitiful look on the Xiaobai's face and immediately became one of the animal protectors.

As she spoke, Chang'e was about to untie the rope. Wu Xiaoming pulled her back. Seeing the sharp teeth of the Xiaobai, he was afraid that the Xiaobai would bite Chang'e.

"It's called Xiaobai. It will be one of our clansmen from now on. It's injured. I'll bandage it up later." Taking advantage of the time when the clansmen were transporting the turtle eggs to the storage cave, Wu Xiaoming carried the Xiaobai and Chang'e back to the cave. Then, he guarded the entrance of the cave, afraid that it would run away. He let Chang'e untie the rope of the Xiaobai.

After this little fellow obtained freedom, it actually ran to Chang'e's side and rubbed her long and beautiful legs. Then, it walked to the fire and ate the food roasted by the clansmen. Chang'e happily stroked the Xiaobai's head. This little fellow actually made a gurgling sound as if it was a cat while eating.

"Xiaobai, from now on, this is your home. Remember, you are not allowed to bite people. You have to be obedient, okay?" Wu Xiaoming said as he quietly walked to the side of the Xiaobai, who was eating and drinking, and tried to stroke its head with his hand. Unexpectedly, the little guy actually turned its head and looked at him with contempt. It was so embarrassing that an animal was looking down on him. "Little guy, if you don't listen to me, I won't give you food in the future!"

The Xiaobai probably understood Wu Xiaoming's words and cried out in grievance. It rubbed its head against Chang'e's head. "Look at how scared it is! Human, if you scare it again, I won't care about you anymore."

Wu Xiaoming shook his head speechlessly. It was said that foxes were cunning, and it was indeed true.

It seemed that he would have to add another big belly. He looked at the Xiaobai's small body and did not expect it to be so good at eating. The turtle meat that weighed more than 500 kilograms was actually finished in a short while. His small belly was not even noticeable. He really did not know where it had eaten such a large piece of meat.

The villagers went to rest. Wu Xiaoming, Dong, Chang'e, and Stone began to meditate every day. When he woke up, he found that the Xiaobai was lying in his arms. Its pink tongue licked its lips from time to time, and it even made a snoring sound. When did the little guy get so close to him? Wu Xiaoming looked at the sleeping Xiaobai in confusion. Forget it, he did not want to think about it anymore. "Chang'e, you guys go to sleep. Dong, don't meditate with us in the future. Stay with your wives, okay?"

After Chang'e and the others left, Wu Xiaoming gently placed the little fellow on the beast skin, and he also laid down on the other side of the beast skin. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
