Chapter 210 Whoever grabs it first gets it
The two sat and chatted for a while, then went back to take a bath. After walking on that scorched earth for the past few days, they felt like their whole bodies were filled with the smell of smoke, so they had to take a good wash.
In the forest, the cubs were running happily, and Long Ming followed them slowly, only giving them a few reminders at critical moments. They got along very harmoniously.
"Uncle Longming, can you help me guard this fat sheep? My mother said she wants to have roasted whole lamb for lunch. I also want to go take a look at that tree. I just saw a bird leaving. There must be a bird's nest on that tree. I'll go get the bird's eggs and make omelets for my mother." Chi Shiwu had been observing the tree not far away for a while. He was sure that there must be quite a few bird's eggs in the bird's nest.
Long Ming grabbed the little snake's slippery head and said, "Leave it there. It can't run away."
Luo Chen had just returned from hunting a small animal. Hearing what Little Fifteen said, he laughed and said, "Little Fifteen, I'm afraid you just want to eat the bird eggs yourself. Don't use your mother as an excuse."
"Ninth brother, mother said that we should see through things but not speak them out loud."
"Go quickly, your elder and second sisters are climbing up the tree." Long Ming reminded Xiao Shiwu.
Little Fifteen darted out, shouting as he swam, "Hey, hey, hey, big sister and second sister, why are you doing this? I've been eyeing that tree for a long time, don't fight with me for it."
Chi Laoda had already approached the bird's nest. Her snake tail wrapped around the branch and she poked her head in to look. Sure enough, there were four or five bird eggs in the huge nest. She was in a very happy mood and said, "Mother said, whoever grabs it first gets it."
Chi Xiaoer also stuck his head in and said, "That's right, if I grab it, it's mine."
"You guys are good, but I won't give in to you." In terms of speed and fighting ability, Chi Shiwu is definitely the fastest and strongest among all the kids. His mother usually taught him to hide his edge and not always embarrass his brothers and sisters, so he was humble in everything. Now that his sisters want to take the initiative to fight with him, he will not be polite.
"Haha, brothers and sisters, come and watch the battle for the bird eggs." What Chi Ershijiu envied most was the speed of his fifteenth brother. Although they both had speed abilities and broke through to the fifth level at the same time last time, his fifteenth brother improved particularly quickly. In less than a month, he had already reached the middle stage of the fifth level, while he was still in the early stage of the fifth level.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with Brother Fifteen. He was very depressed and wanted to learn from his experience.
"I'm busy. I have to go see if there are any little rabbits that I like to eat. I want to eat roasted rabbit legs." Mo Xiaosi felt that there was nothing to see. The little snakes fought every day. Their fighting ability was so strong. If he watched it, he would only feel that he was inferior to others. It would be better for him to hunt a few more preys and gain more experience.
Long Ming's golden eyes flashed with admiration. After spending some time with the cubs, he had never seen them fighting with their brothers and sisters to the death for favor or to be competitive like the cubs from other families did. He knew that this was all because of her good teaching.
Thinking of Ruan Tang, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and his voice became a little softer. "Go, don't run too far. You should be back soon. Your mother is still at home waiting for your prey to cook."
"Okay, Uncle Longming, please keep an eye on the little snakes. If they start fighting, they won't be able to take care of the bird eggs. You can fight, but don't waste food." Mo Xiaosi remembered every word his mother said. His mother said that food is the basis of life and must not be wasted!
"Ah."
The three little ones on the tree have started fighting. Both Chi Lao Da and Chi Xiao Er have dual abilities of speed and fire, and Chi Shiwu's speed ability is the fastest. However, Ruan Tang said that brothers and sisters should not fight to the death, so both sides mostly use speed abilities. The three red-chain snakes chased each other around the huge bird's nest, and their speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
Chi Ershijiu looked at it for a while, his dark red eyes slyly smiling, remembering what his mother said, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'. Since his brothers and sisters were so busy, he might as well help them collect the eggs.
So, while Chi Shiwu was fighting with his two sisters in full swing, Chi Ershijiu had already quietly approached the bird's nest.
Long Ming stood on a tree next to them and watched with squinted eyes. Little Twenty-Nine was smart and knew to steal the eggs when no one was paying attention. However, if he was not fast enough, the consequences might be disastrous.
As expected, Chi Ershijiu was not decisive enough. At the moment he hesitated, Chi Shiwu discovered him, "Little Ershijiu, you dare to steal eggs!"
"Haha, no, no, I'm just helping you guard it, so that other brothers and sisters won't take it away." Little Twenty-Nine knew that he would have no chance if his actions were discovered, so he smiled and put his head into the bird's nest, pretending that he was helping.
Boss Chi had been robbed several times by Little Twenty-Nine before, and she was determined to teach him a lesson today. "You think you can fool us with your little tricks? Let's deal with him together, and then we can divide the eggs equally among the three of us, how about that?"
"No, big sister, since the three of you can share it equally, then it's okay to add me in, right, second sister?" Little Twenty-Nine's eyes rolled around, and he saw the opportunity to escape!
"Uncle Longming, could you please help us keep an eye on these bird eggs and don't let anyone else steal them? We have to go and deal with Xiao Erjiu." Before Boss Chi chased out, he did not forget to say something to Uncle Longming who was sitting on the opposite tree. There was nothing he could do, there were simply too many "thieves".
"I don't care about your own business. Don't run too far. It's almost time to go back." Ruan Tang said that adults should try not to interfere in the affairs of the little ones and let them solve them by themselves. If they asked him to help watch the prey they had hunted, he would of course have no objection, but these eggs were still something they were fighting for, so he certainly couldn't agree to it casually.
However, the little snakes had already run far away and did not hear what he said at all. Chi Laosan swam up the tree very quickly, first glanced at Uncle Longming, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, Chi Laosan was very happy. With a coil of his snake tail, he directly took the bird's nest off the branch.
"Stop chasing me. The bird egg is mine. Hahahaha. You've all forgotten what your mother said. You've forgotten the purpose of your fight. Hahahaha."
"Third sister, you should also learn from Little Twenty-Nine! Give them back to me!" Chi Shiwu was very depressed. It was just a nest of bird eggs. On normal days, he could easily pick up a full basket. Why was it so difficult today!
"I won't give it back. Whoever gets it first gets it. Hahaha." Chi Laosan wrapped his prey around his tail and hid behind Uncle Long Ming. He stuck his head out and spit out his tongue with great pride.
"you!"
Chi Shiwu and his two sisters were about to rush over to grab the food, but Long Ming stopped them. "Alright, pack up all the prey and get ready to go back. If it's too late, your mother will be hungry."
He shouted into the forest again, "It's time to go back." The sun was almost overhead, and if he didn't go back, she would be worried.
"Alright." Chi Shiwuyan had no choice but to admit defeat. Then, seeing the fat sheep he had hunted, his dark red eyes lit up again. "Let's go back and ask Mo Ran's father to roast the fat sheep. Mother specifically asked for it today. Third sister, you can keep the bird eggs you grabbed. I don't want to share a single piece of the roasted whole sheep with you today, humph!"
"Oh, roasted sheep? I'll hunt one myself tomorrow. Hehe, anyway, I won today. I'm just happy to have snatched something from you. Hahahaha. Let's go back and ask Father Qixuan to make me some leek omelets."
Chi Laosan spoke in a sly tone. Long Ming glanced at her, then glanced at the other little female snakes and shook his head. She had taught her female cubs to be independent, strong in fighting ability, and with very good personalities. They were not at all like the little female cubs in other families who were raised to be spoiled, willful, and unreasonable.
Hearing Uncle Longming's call, the fox cubs and male cubs also came out from all corners of the forest with their prey in their mouths.
"Wow, big brother, are you so lucky today? You actually hunted a deer!" Chi Ershijiu was chased and beaten by his elder and second sisters, and happened to meet Yihang who was returning with the prey in his mouth.
"Yeah." Yihang had the prey in his mouth and couldn't greet his brother. He just shook his head at him, signaling him not to run over there and to go back quickly.
"But my elder and second sisters want to beat me." His tone was a little aggrieved.
Old Chi was furious. "Shouldn't you be beating me? It's all because of you that you stole our eggs. Now no one has any. They were stolen by the third brother."
"Let's go, let's go back. It's just a few bird eggs, I don't want them anymore." Chi Laoer was exhausted and panting. "I'm not even this tired even when hunting. Little Twenty-Nine, how come your abilities are improving so fast? You're almost catching up with Little Fifteen. I remember chasing you didn't have to be so hard before."
"Hehe, I have to make progress too, big sister and second sister, you said you wouldn't hit me, okay? We have to keep our word." Little Twenty-Nine swam sideways past his two sisters, but most of his body was hidden behind his big brother. He didn't dare to trust his sisters completely, because he knew that his nine female snake sisters would never give up until they achieved their goal.
"If you say you don't want to fight, then don't fight. Look at how cowardly you are. If you are afraid of getting beaten, then behave yourself. If you dare to steal our prey again, I won't let you off like I did today." Boss Chi was also tired from running. He had to carry the prey back soon, so he had to save his energy. He could deal with people at any time.
