In the dense forest with trees so tall that you couldn’t see their tops, the foliage layered over one another to form a thick green canopy that blocked out most of the sunlight.
Scattered rays of sunlight shooting through the dense foliage gave the forest an otherworldly feel, as if one might spot a fairy peeking from behind a tree at any moment now, fluttering its delicate wings.
Burke carried Gu Mengmeng on his shoulder and climbed onto a branch in his human form. Gu Mengmeng had a view from about three meters up in the air, and she could see everything beneath that tree clearly. But unless the fighting happening below was intentionally directed at her, it would not affect Gu Mengmeng.
Burke sat beside Gu Mengmeng with an uneasy expression. He fixed his gaze at the three youngsters, all of whom were already well-hidden. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help stealing glances at Gu Mengmeng’s reaction.
This was the first time Gu Mengmeng would be watching her children hunt. Although she was just an observer with a VIP seat, this did not prevent her emotions from churning wildly.
Feeling as if she was watching her children participate in some performance, she felt the urge to prod the person beside her to say, “Look, the most handsome boy on that stage is my son.”
Everything had been prepared. The three youngsters exchanged a glance and Jialue ran into the dense under bush.
Gu Mengmeng frowned. Concern was written all over her face.
Her son was not even a year old, and having him run alone into such a risky place was inevitably worrying.
Burke had been observing Gu Mengmeng’s reaction. Seeing her frown, he understood her concerns and wanted to pat her shoulder. However, he was worried about overstepping himself and just said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Jialue is very smart and will be fine.”
Well… that was true.
She understood the reality of things, but that didn’t prevent her from worrying.
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes kept flitting back-and-forth Kanwu and Hede. She discovered that her two sons had been maintaining calm and focused expressions throughout. They had complete confidence in their plan, and fully trusted their brother.
Gu Mengmeng knew that she must also learn to have faith in her own children.
They were not yet a year old, and would be sitting in baby prams with pacifiers in their mouths in the modern world. However, in this world now, they were already half-beast youths. Due to her protectiveness, her children had already started their training later than the rest. If she continued to hover over them like an old hen, how could they survive in future?
Her lips pressed into a firm line, Gu Mengmeng gripped the branch beneath her tightly to keep herself in place. She was afraid of losing control and jumping down, thereby spoiling her sons’ practice.
Soon after, Gu Mengmeng heard running steps of a wild animal.
She turned instinctively and caught a glimpse of Jialue’s profile.
He was in beast form. He was not pure black like Elvis, but had coffee-colored streaks here and there, looking very much like a husky…
No, no matter how much like a domestic dog one might look like, Gu Mengmeng could clearly feel the difference between a dog and a wolf.
She looked on as Jialue was obviously being chased by a fierce animal. Nevertheless, Gu Mengmeng could clearly see the cunning and confidence in Jialue’s eyes. He was the perfect combination of Lea’s intellect and Elvis’ bravery. He gradually led the prey step by step into the trap set by his brothers. Without hesitation, without delay, without worries. He radiated absolute confidence and courage. He was a wolf, a pure wolf.
