Su Bai had just finished bathing and was heading back to his wooden house. He was stretching his back as he thought to himself, [It is monts like these that are my favourite.]
The reason was simple – after a hot bath, his whole body felt much more comfortable. It was the Tribe’s hot season now, and everyone was sweating profusely each day. By midday, his body would beco sticky with sweat, especially his hands which beca very tacky from the sweat.
To avoid that feeling, he had to keep washing his hands at noon. The stickiness made him truly uncomfortable and made tasks inconvenient.
If he was not so busy, he might even take another bath at noon. However, since he stayed inside his wooden house rather than working out under the hot Sun, it was still manageable.
*Rustle rustle…* Before Su Bai reached his wooden house, he heard so faint sounds – sounds he would not have noticed before.
But after being transmigrated here for so long, plus consuming so Shaman Power every day to make Shaman Bone Tablets, his senses had beco much sharper than before. Many sounds he could not have heard previously were now crystal clear to him.
He could even hear when a fox eared girl landing on the ground. This kind of improvent in himself greatly pleased him.
“Who’s there?” Su Bai’s black eyes imdiately turned sharp.
“Shaman, what’s wrong? Is sothing happening?” The patrolling Warrior Trainees and those standing outside the Main Teepee all rushed over.
Su Bai raised his hand telling them to keep quiet, because he sensed that whatever was there was not human. However, it was not a Ferocious Beast either, as he could sense that the creature’s size was not very large.
At most it was probably so kind of wild animal. Still, he was sowhat surprised that he could suddenly sense the size of things in the darkness.
Before, the most he could sense was when people were approaching. At best, he could approximate how many people there were.
Being able to sense the size of the approaching creature was a first. Even so, he soon shook his head, thinking it was probably because his Physique had been continuously improving.
“Shaman, what is it? Should we call the Chieftain?” A Warrior Trainee asked.
“It’s fine, it poses no threat to us. Don’t be too nervous.” Su Bai softly said.
He could even sense its hunger and its extrely cautious deanour.
The Warrior Trainees were all confused. They did not know what was in the darkness, as they could not sense anything at all.
*Rustle rustle…* The creature in the darkness was changing positions, making rustling sounds.
Of course, only Su Bai could hear these sounds. None of the Warrior Trainees could hear them.
The sounds were extrely faint, what a Totem Warrior would call ‘landing without a sound’.
Su Bai crouched down, his expression extrely gentle without any trace of sternness. He reached out his hand gently, as he softly said, “Co here, don’t be afraid.”
The Warrior Trainees beca even more confused watching this, looking at each other, not knowing what the Shaman was doing.
The creature in the darkness slowly started to lower its guard, no longer as cautious as before.
Its originally golden eyes slowly turned black, with only a small white ring visible after most of the cornea turning black.
The mostly black pupils were even harder to see in the darkness, but Su Bai could see them clearly. Every single movent, be it left or right, was caught by his eyes.
Initially, the golden pupils indicated fear and tension, while the now black pupils suggested curiosity and lowered guard.
These were Su Bai’s guesses, as he felt these black pupils looked very familiar.
Like so creature from Earth, though he could not quite rember which one at the mont.
The Warrior Trainees also saw the creature’s pupils change, and seeing how relaxed the Shaman was, they understood the creature posed no threat.
“It’s alright, I have lots of food you can eat. Co out. Don’t hide anymore.” Su Bai gently said.
*ow~* A familiar cry reached Su Bai’s ears, making him pause and blink his black eyes.
He perked up his ears to listen carefully again, “A cat?”
Hearing this cry made everything clear. [No wonder those pupils in the darkness had seed so familiar.]
Cats on Earth were just like this, even their cry was the sa. Since he could not see clearly in the darkness, it was most likely a black cat.
The creature in the darkness seed to understand, and slowly erged from the darkness. Its footsteps could still only be heard by Su Bai with none of the Warrior Trainees able to hear a sound.
First, a head erged from the darkness. It was truly a cat’s head, round and plump, looking like a ball of dough.
Its ears stood tall, and its black eyes were wide and round. Soon ca its body and tail.
The overall impression was that of roundness. It was a far cry from those hungry stray cats. Instead, it looked more like a ‘well-fed’ pet cat from Earth, appearing very cute and making one want to pet it.
Su Bai had expected it to look like a fierce cat, but its adorable appearance surprised him.
Coming back to his senses, he blinked and could not help but say, “What an unexpectedly cute little thing.”
The Warrior Trainees were also stunned. They had all expected so fierce beast. They had not expected such an adorable creature to erge. Puzzled, they asked, “Shaman, do you know what kind of beast this is?”
None of the Warrior Trainees recognized the creature that had erged from the darkness. This was their first ti seeing one.
Su Bai raised his thick eyebrows and asked. “None of you know what this animal is?”
He had thought the Tribe’s Warrior Trainees would know, but instead, they were the ones asking him.
The Warrior Trainees all shook their heads without hesitation, saying, “We don’t know, this is our first ti seeing one.”
Every day, they would hear the Chieftain tell stories about Ferocious Beasts and wild beasts. However, they had never seen or heard about this creature before.
They were not even sure if this was a wild beast. To them, it could even be a Ferocious Beast.
“Oh? Then please ask the Chieftain to co to my house. I want to check what exactly this thing is.” Su Bai instructed.
In his heart, he had already identified it as a cat like those from Earth. Even so, he did not know what the Primitive Tribes called this creature.
“Yes!” The Warrior Trainees nodded.
