Chapter 407 I heard the sound of the gears of fate turning
But it is easier to hide in orc form, and my breath is not so easily detected by ferocious beasts. I often sleep in caves in orc form.
Three or five winter seasons passed like this.
I entered the green ring from the white ring, and I had more prey to choose from, but I was also more easily detected by the ferocious beasts.
That day, I just escaped from the pursuit of three green-ringed beasts.
They want to eat me! I'm scared, I can't beat them, I want to get out, I want to tell Seken that I don't want to stay in the Misty Forest anymore.
But Saiken told me that if an immature pterosaur goes out, it will be thrown back. If I encounter other pterosaurs, they might throw me directly into the group of ferocious beasts.
It's easier to die that way.
I huddled in a corner of the cave, hugging my knees and crying. There were bleeding wounds on my arms, and I could only wrap them with dirty animal skins.
I don’t have the habit of accumulating beast crystals. If I had beast crystals now, my injuries would heal faster.
"I'm so scared... Is there anyone who can save me? I don't want to be a pterosaur anymore."
I choked with sobs. I felt helpless. I wished there was someone with me. I was willing to share my food with him as long as there was someone willing to accompany me.
Hug me and tell me that I will survive.
Living to adulthood is a luxury for pterosaurs.
At that time, I really hoped that someone would come and hug me and say: Go home, don’t be afraid, you will survive.
But without anyone, I was lonely and helpless. There was no warmth, no companion, and no one to comfort me.
In fact, I am a very timid orc. I am afraid of loneliness and death.
But in the misty forest, the more you fear death, the easier it is to die.
I expect someone to come and rescue me, but I know no one will come and I will stay here until I grow up.
Or maybe, I will die here.
From that day on, I felt that I should hunt only for food, and I had to kill more ferocious beasts.
On the one hand, it is the pterosaur's duty, and on the other hand, I want to survive and can only become stronger. If I don't muster up the courage to kill them, then one day they will kill me.
I started hunting the white-ringed beasts, and whenever I saw them, I would kill them quickly.
The roars of beasts in my cave gradually disappeared at night.
I skinned the beast and made a large orc, stuffing the skin with wild grass.
Every night when I return to the cave, it will be with me. I will share with it what happened in my day, talk to it and hug it.
It is like my safe haven. I stop crying and gradually become cool and arrogant, but when in front of it, I am always the one who just arrived in the misty forest.
A little pterosaur that panics, gets scared, and starves.
"You have no face. If only you had a face, if only you could speak."
"I'm so scared, can you hug me again? The beast almost bit my neck today."
"Saiken said that cubs don't have the right to think too much. Tell me, when I grow up and go out, will anyone hug me?"
"If there is, would it be warm? I really want to be hugged. You don't have any warmth at all, and you can't comfort me."
......
I talked to it for more than a dozen winter seasons. I could feel my aura becoming stronger and stronger. I would not eat any ferocious beasts below the purple ring level. I would only dig out their beast crystals.
I like to accumulate these beast crystals because they can keep me alive when I am injured, and they can also make me stronger.
For more than a dozen winter seasons, because of my existence, the ferocious beasts here are no longer rampant, and I can feel the murderous aura around me more easily.
Looking at the beast ring on my wrist that was glowing red, I felt that I had really become stronger.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of pterosaurs' existence.
Being stronger than other orcs means that we should control the ferocious beasts within a certain range and not let them leave the Misty Forest to kill weak orcs.
This kind of life repeated itself, killing ferocious beasts, and when tired, returning to the cave and sleeping with the animal skin doll.
Day after day, until -
It was the nineteenth rainy season. It was raining heavily. I was hunting ferocious beasts in the misty forest and I felt very excited.
Because I know that after getting through this cold season, I can leave.
Becoming the most noble pterosaur, nothing can threaten my life anymore, and I will have absolute freedom like Saiken.
But it was as if the Beast God was joking with me. Four or five red-ringed beasts actually appeared in this tiny misty forest.
And I just happened to be caught by them.
In fact, all the ferocious beasts look similar and are very ugly, so I always thought there was only one red-ringed ferocious beast here. I was struggling with it, I was chasing it and it was chasing me.
But today, when I finally thought I could get rid of it, I discovered that the ferocious beast I had been pulling was not the same one!
I watched as several ferocious beasts pounced towards me. All my retreat routes were blocked, so I had no choice but to fight on.
I fought with them, and I knew that today either they would die or I would die.
I can't die yet.
Heavy rain fell and the sounds of fighting echoed throughout the Misty Forest. After I killed a red-ringed beast, I was also severely injured.
Escape is the only way to survive.
In the process of escaping, I bit two ferocious beasts to death. There was no other way. When people are on the verge of despair, there will always be unexpected outbursts.
The other two red-ringed beasts were still chasing me, but I had already reached my limit.
I could feel my life slipping away, and if I continued to fight I would die.
But I don’t want to die. I have been here for nineteen winter seasons. As long as I get through this, I will become an adult!
Besides, I have almost dealt with all the ferocious beasts in this misty forest. If they die, it will be a blessing!
So, under the pursuit of two ferocious beasts, I had no way to escape from the misty forest. On the way of flying, I kept eating beast crystals.
But I knew it was useless. There was something wrong with my body. If it weren't for the pterosaur's strong physique that allowed me to hold on a little longer, I would have been eaten.
As I flew, my consciousness gradually faded.
"Bang" sound!
I heard the sound of the gears of fate turning.

Little Easter Egg (for those who can’t wait to read the full text)
Mid-continent.
As the voice of resignation fell, Hoshino rushed over with a large number of stray animals.
He said nonchalantly, "We are late. Listen up, people of Haijiao City! Whoever dares to be a fence-sitter will have to leave his life behind!"
The leader of the sea dragons looked at Hu Ke with a gloomy expression and said, "Huke! Aren't you too disrespectful of our Sea Dragon City?"
Hu Ke chuckled and said, "What is the Sea Dragon Chief talking about? This is also to prevent the Sea Dragon Chief from standing on the wrong side. After this battle, the Sea Dragon Chief will be the hero."
Sea dragon leader: "......"
As for Nan Yue, she looked at the dark mass and whispered, "Weng Ge, what do you think we should do if Ci Gui loses?"
Wen Ge thought for a moment and said seriously: "Then give Mu Li some medicine and send it to your stone bed."
Nan Yue knew that Wen Ge was joking, but she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
What a sin!
