C23 Rat Rabbit

When the clansmen at the edge of the forest saw the crab swarm retreat, the tortoise swarm surrounded Wu Xiaoming and the others. They all rushed over in a panic.

"Stop!" Wu Xiaoming saw a warrior rushing over with a hundred-meter-long tree in his arms. He was about to sweep away the tortoise swarm. He was so scared that he shouted. If the tortoise swarm was threatened, it would be troublesome for them. Not only would they lose their ideal mounts, but they might also be injured.

The tortoise swarm noticed the aggressive clansmen rushing over. They all tightened their heads, looking like children who had been wronged. They kept looking at the clansmen who were shouting at them.

Only then did Wu Xiaoming, Uncle Di, and the others escape the tortoise swarm. Looking at the tortoise swarm that was shouting, Wu Xiaoming could not help but feel a headache. This group of little fellows was so good at eating. The crab that was bigger than them had actually finished eating in less than a minute.

No matter what, Wu Xiaoming wanted to see if he could feed this group of people who were shouting. He pointed at the legsless crabs that were swept away by the trees. The tortoise swarm seemed to understand and quickly ran to the crabs and started to eat. In just five minutes, the large swarm of crabs had all turned into broken shells.

Looking at the group of three-meter-tall tortoises, they turned into giant turtles that were more than ten meters tall in the blink of an eye. Wu Xiaoming was also helpless. The most helpless thing was that the tortoise swarm was still shouting as if they had not eaten their fill yet.

"Eh!" Wu Xiaoming rubbed his head in pain. Wasn't it too exaggerated? Wasn't it too magical? This world really couldn't be judged by common sense. However, he really didn't have food to feed them. There were still a few tiger fishes in the cave, but those few tiger fishes probably wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

Fish! Right, the river was over there. Let them hunt for food. Seeing that the group of little fellows had even scared away the huge crab swarm, the river was their home. The fish in the river should be enough for them to hunt.

Wu Xiaoming pointed at the broken shells of the crabs and then pointed at the river, "Go, little fellows. You guys go and hunt for food."

When the tortoise swarm saw Wu Xiaoming's instructions, they all rushed excitedly towards the wide river. "Ah! Finally, we have sent these little fellows away."

The clansmen all cheered, but they were a little disappointed. So many crabs could at least feed the clansmen for four to five days, but in just five minutes, there were only broken shells left.

"Chang'e, do you see Xiaobai?" Because it was too chaotic and they were worried about the safety of the clansmen, they didn't notice. Now that everything was safe, Xiaobai had actually disappeared.

"No, I didn't see my tiger chicken either. I don't even know where it went." Chang'e looked around.

"Where did those two little fellows go?! Forget it, they are both very fast. Moreover, they are more sensitive to danger than humans. They will definitely be fine." Just as Wu Xiaoming finished speaking, he saw Chang'e's tiger chicken run over quickly.

When they got closer, Wu Xiaoming and all the clansmen laughed. The Xiaobai was on the tiger chicken's broad back, and it was still holding a gray animal that was even bigger than it. It was even threatening the animal with its mouth.

The little guy had already jumped down from the tiger chicken from a long distance away. It dragged the animal to Wu Xiaoming's side and jumped around happily. After the animal was thrown to the ground, it cowered and did not escape. It just looked at Wu Xiaoming and the others from the corner of its eyes.

"It's really my lucky star!" Wu Xiaoming saw that the animal was clearly a rabbit with a rat's head, but it had two long ears on its head. It looked like it was a herbivore, and it wasn't too big. It could be raised as a meat animal, but he didn't know how fast it could reproduce.

Wu Xiaoming touched the Xiaobai's head, "Little guy, where did you catch this thing?" The Xiaobai was originally enjoying its sleep, but when it heard Wu Xiaoming's question, it actually started to whimper. It seemed to be afraid that Wu Xiaoming would not understand, so it picked up the Rat Rabbit and ran back to the cave. As it ran, it turned its head back to look at Wu Xiaoming, as if it was asking Wu Xiaoming to follow it.

Wu Xiaoming and the clansmen followed the Xiaobai into the cave and found that the little guy had actually brought the Rat Rabbit to the fire. Wu Xiaoming looked at the Xiaobai who was happily playing around helplessly. This little guy clearly wanted him to roast the meat for it.

"Uncle Di, have you and the warriors hunted this kind of Rat Rabbit in the forest all year round?" Wu Xiaoming could not get any information about this kind of animal from Xiaobai, so he could only entrust it to Uncle Di and the others who were experienced.

"No, I rarely see such a small animal. Usually, animals are bigger." Uncle Di thought for a while and shook his head doubtfully.

Wu Xiaoming handed a handful of grass that he had torn off on the way to the Rat Rabbit's mouth. The Rat Rabbit looked at Wu Xiaoming from the corner of its eyes and slowly ate it. While eating, it also looked at Xiaobai. It seemed that this little guy had left a huge psychological shadow on the Rat Rabbit.

"Xiaobai, do you know that there are such animals over there? If you know, we can raise it like this. In the future, you can let your clansmen roast it whenever you want to eat it!" Wu Xiaoming pointed at the Rat Rabbit that was eating grass and said as if he was coaxing a child.

Xiaobai looked at the Rat Rabbit that was eating grass and rubbed its head as if it was Wu Xiaoming's usual action of thinking. Then, its eyes lit up and it impatiently tore Wu Xiaoming's animal skirt and dragged it out of the cave.

Wu Xiaoming had seen Xiaobai's speed on the way. It was indeed a streak of white light. Perhaps this was the fundamental reason why it survived in the dangerous primitive forest. Wu Xiaoming admitted that his speed was very fast. He could reach two to three seconds in a hundred meters, but compared to Xiaobai, it was like the speed of a tortoise. It was as if he was wrong. The tortoise in this world was also fast, at least much faster than Chang'e's tiger chicken.

Walking to the side of a small mound, the Xiaobai immediately burrowed into a deeper hole that was slightly bigger than it. While Wu Xiaoming was still in a daze, the Xiaobai had already scuttled out like a white light. It even had a basketball-sized, furry Rat Rabbit in its mouth. The Xiaobai whimpered a few times and scuttled back in...

Wu Xiaoming carefully observed the small mound and discovered that there were deep holes in the tall grass. It seemed that this was the nest of the Rat Rabbit. He wondered how the Xiaobai and the tiger chicken had discovered it.

The clansmen excitedly watched the Xiaobai enter the deep holes time and time again, bringing out furry Rat Rabbit. They all cheered. The Patriarch said that they could breed them like turtles, so it was definitely possible. Although these small animals were not very big, the one Xiaobai had brought in this morning was at least 60 to 70 catties of meat. This way, every clan member would be able to eat six or seven of them. They would not have to worry about being cold during winter, nor would they have to eat salted meat. In the beginning, it was indeed delicious, but after eating too much, it would make them nauseous.

In less than an hour, the Xiaobai had actually brought out nearly ten thousand small Rat Rabbit from each of the deep holes. Just as the Xiaobai was about to enter the deep hole again, the distant grass started to tremble. The Xiaobai's eyes lit up as it scuttled out. Wu Xiaoming then discovered that there was a large group of adult Rat Rabbit in the distance, watching them dig out their children from afar.

Uncle Di and the others raised their javelins. Wu Xiaoming quickly stopped them. He was joking. The Xiaobai was right there. If the javelin did not hit the little guy, he would be heartbroken.

When the Xiaobai brought an adult Rat Rabbit to Wu Xiaoming, the group of Rat Rabbit actually ran a distance and returned. When the clansmen tied up the Rat Rabbit, Wu Xiaoming rubbed the Xiaobai's head and quietly ordered the clansmen to hunt the Rat Rabbit.

A rain of guns fell, and a total of thirty-two Rat Rabbit were nailed to the ground. While the Rat Rabbit was still in a daze, another round of gunfire was fired, and another thirty-two Rat Rabbit were harvested. At this time, the Rat Rabbit finally reacted and scattered. In an instant, they ran away without a trace.

In the morning, the clansmen had collected nearly a hundred thousand furry little Rat Rabbit. Looking at the Rat Rabbit lying on the wide beast skin, Wu Xiaoming was filled with confidence towards the future.

When he returned home, the turtles were already lying in a dense group beside the bamboo house. The largest of the two thousand turtles was actually forty meters tall, and the others were also nearly thirty meters tall. It was hard to imagine that they had grown so big in just a morning. No wonder the crab swarm immediately retreated when they saw the turtle swarm.

Wu Xiaoming and the clansmen had a good time with the turtle swarm, and they immediately asked the clansmen to build a breeding base for the Rat Rabbit. On the slope of the cliff, the women dug out caves one after another. The warriors used bamboo to surround the fence. In order to prevent the Rat Rabbit from escaping, every bamboo was about three meters deep. The fence was surrounded by two layers, and the fence was filled with fifty-centimeter sharp bamboo.

After he was done with everything, Wu Xiaoming looked at the sun that was gradually setting and felt a sense of urgency in his heart. It was going to be dark soon, and there was still no food for the next few days. He was afraid that he would not be able to fill his stomach with the leftover three tiger fishes and the sixty-four Rat Rabbit he had hunted today. With the big appetite of Xiaobai, he would need at least twenty-five Rat Rabbit to fill its stomach. Needless to say, there were still the other clansmen who had a appetite of three to four hundred kilograms.

"Let's go fishing again." Wu Xiaoming was very glad that Uncle Di had chosen the campsite not far from the river. Even if there were no prey, he could still fish in the river.

"Human Emperor, what's going on?" Uncle Di had placed the bait in the river for nearly half an hour, but there was no fish coming over to bite the hook. Usually, it would only take less than a second for a big fish to be pulled out of the river, but today, there was not a single fish.

Wu Xiaoming looked at the calm river and then looked at the group of turtles sleeping lazily in front of the bamboo house. He was completely speechless. Such a wide river, with so many different kinds of fish, had actually run out in the afternoon. Wu Xiaoming regretted it a little. If he knew this would happen, he would have buried fewer eggs. Two or three hundred would be enough. "Let's go! Let's go to a place further away to fish. I'm afraid there won't be any fish coming over today."
