Scaleless Fish (Continued)

Trying to guess what the little ones were thinking, everyone headed out into the wild.

Even the smallest cubs are still proper beastmen and sub-beastmen; if they want to hide, the adults won't easily spot them.

The little ones are hiding here, while the adults are searching over there, but they can't find them after searching for a long time.

The adults were both annoyed and amused, and they were all thinking about how to scold the little brats when they caught them.

When another group of adults got very close to the cubs, they quickly lay down and whispered:

"Quick, quick, the adults are coming this way, let's go to the river."

"Wait a minute, move slowly, A Cui, you're carrying Yi Re, let's walk slowly."

"Okay, Yi Re you on my back."

The bear cubs carried their human-shaped offspring on their backs and tiptoed towards the riverbank.

The humanoid cubs clung tightly to the neck of the bear cub, their big, round eyes wide open, completely too afraid to utter a sound.

Soon, they arrived at the riverbank.

The little bear at the front looked into the river and was instantly startled.

There's something in the river! It's huge!

"Keep your voice down!"

"What is it? Let me see."

"It looks like a scaleless fish!"

Never mind, let's go!

The little bears huddled together, clumsily trying to jump across the river.

As one of the bear cubs jumped over, it suddenly stopped and said to its friends, "Do you think if we catch the scaleless fish and bring it back, the adults won't be angry anymore when they see we've brought prey?"

The little ones looked at each other, their eyes lighting up.

"It seems possible."

"Then hurry up and catch the fish! You guys Yi Re on the shore, we'll go first."

After settling the humanoid cubs, the bear cubs jumped into the water and began catching scaleless fish.

The scaleless fish was slippery and covered with a layer of mucus. A little bear hugged the scaleless fish with its two front paws.

The scaleless fish flicked its tail forward and slipped right out of the bear's arms, even whipping its tail so hard it hit the bear's face.

The little bear was stunned by the slap. Looking down at its two little front paws, it reluctantly lunged forward and chased after the scaleless fish again.

The scaleless fish darted swiftly underwater, bumping into another bear cub's bottom.

The other bear cub was so frightened that it let out a howl and darted straight onto the shore as if it had taken flight.

The lead bear was frantically trying to see what was in the water, and also trying to cover its companion's mouth with its short paws.

The scaleless fish at the bottom of the water were large and plentiful, and they all started swimming when they were stirred up.

The hunter and the prey were instantly switched. The bear cubs, soaking in the water, were both frightened and anxious, howling as they were chased and scrambled by the scaleless fish.

The lead bear tried to appease this one and that one, getting so anxious he was practically panting with his tongue lolling out, but he still couldn't resolve the last issue, making him so frustrated he wanted to give up.

Water splashed everywhere, and the adults in the distance heard the noise and rushed over.

The little ones forgot about hiding and started howling for help.

Before long, the giant bears of the Ice River Tribe arrived first. Seeing the cubs tumbling and crawling, they immediately disregarded their scolding and rushed over to pick them up, asking, "What happened? Did something bite you? Were you bitten?"

The little bears all:

"Scaleless fish! There are scaleless fish underwater!"

"Father, there are so many scaleless fish! Quickly, catch them!"

The giant bears carried the cubs around, checking them over and over. They then went to check on the humanoid cubs, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were all alright.

Seeing the giant bears moving so slowly, the bear cubs grew impatient and slapped at their muzzles with their paws. "Quick, scaleless fish!"

The giant bear that Bing Jiang had transformed into said, "What kind of time is this, and you're still thinking about scaleless fish?"

The bear cubs exclaimed, "Scaleless fish are delicious! But they bite us!"

Soon, the rest of the Ice River Tribe arrived, as did the people from the Riverside Tribe.

Seeing that the cubs were all there and hadn't encountered any danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The children were all urging each other to catch scaleless fish, and when the adults saw that they were alright, they actually went down to the river to catch scaleless fish.

When Jian Mo and Ye Luo arrived on Ying'ao, everyone was catching scaleless fish underwater.

Just then, a giant bear picked up a scaleless fish.

The scaleless fish, thicker than a human thigh, was writhing desperately inside the giant bear's mouth, making Jian Mo's scalp tingle.

Jian Mo instinctively took a step back, almost tripping over Ye Luo's foot.

Ye Luo supported him with one hand. "Are you afraid of this?"

Jian Mo couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you scared? Such a big, such a long creature!"

Ye Luo's eyes flickered. "Don't worry, scaleless fish are quite delicious, it's just that they're rarely caught."

Jian Mo rubbed her arms, which were covered in goosebumps. "Delicious?"

Ye Luo: "Yes, this fish has very tender flesh, with no fishy smell at all. After frying it, it's grilled on a stone slab, and it's very delicious."

Since it looked so delicious, Jian Mo couldn't help but take another look.

The scaleless fish has a brown back and a yellow belly, and if you look closely, it looks a bit like a magnified eel.

But when it's that big, it looks really scary!

Jian Mo took a closer look and noticed that the beastmen were working very hard when catching the scaleless fish.

If that's the case, it must really taste delicious, otherwise the beastmen wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

Jian Mo quickly overcame her fear and squeezed forward to see.

The giant wolf that Wu Jiong had transformed into glanced at Jian Mo through a gap in its grasp of the scaleless fish, gently nudged his chest with its muzzle, and urged, "Step back a little, don't let the mud splash on you."

Jian Mo took a step back, staring at a huge scaleless fish swimming underwater. "Don't talk to me, hurry up and catch the fish, it's going to get away."

The giant wolf calmly replied, "You can't escape."

As it spoke, the giant wolf took two steps forward and quickly pinned the scaleless fish down with its paws.

The giant, long-haired gray cat that Ban Ming had transformed into squeezed forward. "Chieftain, why don't you pick it up? I'll do it!"
