Chapter 53: The Little Fluffball Goes Missing
Mo Yi'er was shocked and stunned, but she quickly reacted, after all, it was just a legendary figure, Mo Yi'er didn't have much fear in her heart.
"Mo Yi'er, what's wrong with you?" Bang Ge's attention was fully focused on Mo Yi'er, so her unusual behavior startled him. To say, this Golden Lion was also extremely formidable, and it was easy for a skilled hunter like Bang Ge to detect fierce beasts. However, the Golden Lion was so close to them, yet he hadn't sensed anything at all - wasn't that very strange?
"Huang Ge, we might be in danger." Mo Yier said calmly on the surface, although she wasn't too afraid, but having heard from her people that it was very dangerous, she was also scared. She said this to mentally prepare Huang Ge.
"What's wrong?" Bang Ge immediately entered a state of alert, and before Mo Yi'er could say anything, he also saw the golden bright spot in the darkness. "This... is this the Golden Lion?" After all, he had never seen it before, so Bang Ge was also unsure.
"It should be, it's said that except for the golden lion, no other species' eyes will emit a golden glow at night..." As she spoke to this point, Mo Yier paused for a moment, seemingly... one evening, she saw a faint golden color at the bottom of Xiao Rong's eyes, but because there was a bonfire, it wasn't that obvious! At this moment, her heart suddenly became a tangled mess...
"Mo Yi'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Mang Ge's first reaction was to shield Mo Yi'er behind him, picking up a stone from the ground. Since they were beside a mountain cave, they hadn't brought any stone knives with them when they came out.
Mo Yi'er hastily stopped him: "Don't act rashly, last time we found the Golden Lion, as long as we didn't attack it, there was no danger, whatever you do, don't provoke it." When dealing with unknown forces, it's better to use stillness to control movement.
"Alright." Fang Ge listened to Mo Yier, after all, the Golden Lion had given them too much fear. In order to protect Mo Yier, he bravely stood out, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid.
The golden lion watched them from a distance, just like last time. After a while, Mo Yier and Fan Ge didn't dare to move. At this moment, Chu Yan's shout came from afar: "Younger brother, Mo Yier..." It seemed that they had been out for too long, and Chu Yan was worried and came to find them.
"What to do now?" Fan Ge frowned and asked Mo Yier, his hands grasping the big stone were already full of sweat. Chu Yan coming over again would also be dangerous, but they dared not move for fear of startling the Golden Lion, it was truly a dilemma.
Mo Yu'er's lips were pursed tightly, and she was also very entangled. Just as she was in a dilemma, the two golden bright spots suddenly disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never appeared before!
"What's going on?" Mo Yi rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had seen it wrong. She looked at Fan Ge in confusion, and Fan Ge also had a puzzled face.
"Little brother, Mo Yu'er... what are you two doing standing here? Why aren't you answering me?" Chu Yan had already walked over and asked them.
"Brother... just now we saw the Golden Lion, I don't know why, but he vanished with a blink of an eye."
Chu Hu heard this and his expression turned serious. "How can we meet Jin Shi here? Are you guys okay?" Chu Hu asked, looking up and down at Mo Yi'er and Fan Ge, confirming that they were fine before hastily saying: "This place is so close to the cave, let's hurry back to the cave to check on our people!" As the leader of the tribe, Chu Hu was also the first to think of his people's safety.
"Good!" Mo Yier and Fan Ge responded in unison, following Chu Yan to run towards the mountain cave, and the fruits were left on the ground.
The cave was as quiet as usual, and no one discovered the Golden Lion. To avoid panic among the tribe members, Chu Yu decided not to make a fuss about it. The three of them exchanged a glance, without discussing it, but tacitly agreed not to mention it.
Sang Zhen tidied up everything and walked over to smile and ask Mo Yier: "Mo Yier, didn't you go pick some fruit? Why did you come back empty-handed?"
It wasn't until then that Mo Yi'er and Fan Ge discovered they had left the fruit halfway. Fan Ge hurriedly smiled and said, "We just had something to do, I'll go get it back."
"Mo Yu'er, you go discuss making clothes with Sang Zhen and the others, I'll go pick some fruit with Ah Di."
Mo Yi'er was somewhat worried about the two of them, but still nodded in agreement, not wanting to let Sang Zhen notice anything. "Mm, be careful."
"Haha, Mo Yuer is really concerned about the leader and Bao Ge! They are both strong men, what could happen to them?" Sang Zhen said with a disbelieving smile, her expression full of kindness.
"Hehe, I just said it casually, you guys go ahead!" Mo Yuer's face turned slightly red as she said this and pulled Sang Zhen back into the cave. Si Fen Ni saw them coming in and hurriedly welcomed them over, still subconsciously glancing behind them, if Chu Yan and Fan Ge were there, she would have to be more careful.
"Haha, Silfeni, don't worry, the leader and Wang Ge didn't follow us in, you don't have to be afraid anymore." Sang Zhen thought Silfeni was very funny, just now when Chu Xiang and Wang Ge scared her into the cave, she said to the women: "In the future, if the leader and Wang Ge are around, don't get close to Mo Yi'er!"
"Eh, Sang Zhen, you just didn't see the leader and Bao Ge's expression, they were so angry that they could have picked me up and thrown me away!" Silfeny said, shrinking her neck.
"Haha, who made you go find Mo Yier at that time?! The leader and Bao Ge can't bear to be away from Mo Yier for even a moment! If they didn't need food, they definitely wouldn't have left Mo Yier's side!"
Si Fen Ni made a ghostly face, her nose wrinkled, and glanced at Xiao Hei and her men: "They don't treat me like this now, they can't even bear to put Xiao Hei by my side, I'm not important anymore."
"How can you still be jealous of your own son? It's really cute!" Mo Yi'er glanced in Xiao Hei's direction, and indeed, several men were surrounding him, some trying to teach him how to speak, others helping him tidy up his clothes, each and every one of them looked like a doting father.
"I didn't eat vinegar, what is vinegar?" Silkeni asked Mo Yier with a naive and innocent gaze, she had never heard of such a thing as vinegar.
"Uh... vinegar is a sour thing, used for seasoning."
"Why must you say I'm jealous?" Silfanie asked with a spirit of getting to the bottom of things.
"...Mo Yu'er rubbed her forehead, unsure of how to respond..."
Fan Ge and Chu Yan soon returned, carrying a basket of fruit, to Mo Yi'er's side, watching the women discuss and make clothes. It wasn't until bedtime that Mo Yi'er discovered that Xiao Rong had disappeared! "Huh? Who has seen my little furball?"
"Didn't see him, did he go out to find something to eat?" Chu Yan scanned the cave and didn't find the little guy either.
"He won't, he never goes out at night." Mo Yier had a bad premonition in her heart...
