Chapter 40: The Magic Weapon

Junior Leopard's anger had cooled down after following the little monster for about five miles.

The little monster was amusing. It farted along the way while dragging the grilled mutton. This made all other creatures flee and that was fine. What was more amusing was that after walking a few miles, the little monster had begun to sing. Junior Leopard thought it was breathing heavily initially, but listening again had astonished him. It was actually singing and there was even some rhythm. Each step taken was large, with its hands shaking widely. It was as proud as a peacock. The monster's fluff fluttered in the gentle wind while a cluster of white fur flew upward. It was just like chipmunks that he had seen in animations during his past life.

In the wild woods, a chipmunk was dragging food home. The scene was good enough to calm his anger completely.

”Let's see where on earth you can run to!”

As his anger over the little monster diminished, his curiosity increased instead. He followed it for about three more miles, and then suddenly the little monster traveled downward carrying the grilled mutton.

Junior Leopard looked forward and found that there was a slope at his front. Down the slope, there laid a grass field. Various plants grew in the thick woods, from huge, ancient trees, to short bushes. Vines wound around old trees, forming a huge net that trapped all creatures in. The forest was gloomy and cold, as sunlight was entirely blocked by these huge trees. In some parts of the forest, there wasn't even beam of light. It would be impossible for ordinary people to walk here if they entered the woods. He would be lost until death, even if he was lucky enough to meet no wild beasts here.

But Junior Leopard didn't expect that there was an open space here.

The shape of this terrain was irregular. Beside it was a steep cliff, the area of which was about 200 to 300 square meters. The ground was all covered by gray soil and seemed normal, but it was entirely barren.

Since this place was barren, it was the brightest area in this forest. As adequate sunlight was able to enter, the soil was drier than other places that were damp and cold.

A few creatures were enjoying the sun here. But all of them departed when they saw the little monster coming forth. They weren't fleeing from a threat, however, they walked peacefully as if they had seen someone they didn't like and decided to turn away. Even the carnivorous beasts didn't give a glance at the grilled mutton that was being carried behind the little monster.

The little monster was used to their reactions, nor did it care about how they would react. It walked directly towards the cliff dragging the grilled mutton.

Junior Leopard noticed a small cave down the cliff. It was small but spacious enough for a 10-year-old child to enter without bending down.

The little monster stored that half-cooked goat in the cave before moving its body, ”Hiu—” It disappeared. Then it appeared on a branch of an enormous red pine nearby the open space. It picked some pine nuts and disappeared, appearing in the cave again.

The little monster was having goat meat with pine nuts merrily. Junior Leopard couldn't understand why it had such a large appetite, considering it was only as big as a man's fist. It only took the little monster a few moments to eat up half of the goat meat, let alone those pine nuts.

After finishing, the little monster hiccupped and wandered deeper inside the cave, holding its chubby belly. It lied down on a small piece of cloth and started to sleep.

The cave was actually shallow, with its length less than four meters. Junior Leopard could have easily seen what was happening in the cave from outside.
