Chapter 177 (2/2)

“Aeh!” “Avue?”

They appear to be in high spirits after seeing what’s left of the giant centipede. Reacting just like Adofu, is it rare to see a giant centipede die by being split right in half? Nah, that’s not the impression I’m getting. Either way, they have a pleasant atmosphere around them from coming across such a feast.

Ianians, their flesh looks to be tender and they look like they’d be quite delicious if I were to eat them. However, seeing such innocence drained me of the will to attack. They’re so family-like.

“Aeh…”

That Ianian cub, it’s so cute. While looking at the giant centipede with its big round eyes, it uses its front paw to scratch at the forehead of the centipede. Ohh, that gesture it just made. I seriously want to keep it as a pet.

Back when I was still a kid dragon, if I had squatted and rubbed my eyes with my hands, instead of waving them, even Douz might have come running over with a smile. No, maybe I still have a chance? I’ll give it a try the next time there’s an opportunity.

They’ll probably run away if I try to approach them, so I guess I’ll just watch them from afar for a little while. The meat is not going to run out anytime soon, so they can eat if they want to. I’d rather refrain from eating the centipede anyways. I somehow managed with the caterpillars, but that thing? No way! The number of legs… does it have something to do with that? The caterpillars had a lot of legs too.

“Pefu Pefu!”

I can hear the ball rabbit protesting behind me.

[No! Not move soon! Less food!]

…Do you actually want to eat that? You may want to stop right there. It’s just my narrow viewpoint, but I think it tastes like leather boots.

I ignore the ball rabbit’s complaints and continue watching the Ianian family without getting any closer.

“Aea…”

The Ianian cub manages to cut into the giant centipede with the claw on its front paw and gouges out a small piece of the centipede, giving the sample a sniff. Yes, yes; eat, eat. I will hold back this little ball of appet.i.te. It’s a special exception.

“HggchhhI Scheeew!”

The Ianian cub sneezes and hides its face away. It rubs the paw that has a chunk of the giant centipede on it against the sand. The parent Ianian shakes its head slowly, walking away in the opposite direction from me.

The four medium-sized Ianians have not yet given up, and went up and sniffed the cross-section of the giant centipede, but like the Ianian cub , they violently sneezed. After that, they spit it out and start following behind the parent Ianians. Ahh, what the h.e.l.l are they doing!?

But, why? I wonder if it smells extremely bad, that part. Though if it was that intense, they should have noticed it the moment they got close…

Has it become rotten by any chance? No, it should be acceptable enough for a wild animal, even if it rots a little. In any case, it appears to be smelly enough to ruin the Ianian’s appet.i.te.

Is this going to be good enough? Will I really be able to bait red ants with this?
