Chapter 62 – The Hunt
*Grrrr*
A low growl suddenly sounded out behind him, and after hearing it, Calron immediately rushed to grab the roasted bird!
It appeared as if Calron already knew who this unknown beast was!
A fierce and terrifying battle was currently taking place between man and beast.
Droplets of sweat formed on Calron’s forehead, as he desperately tried to force back the persistent creature. With a furious expression etched onto his face, Calron angrily glared at the monster fighting him.
Under that intense scrutiny, the ferocious beast showed no signs of backing down and returned an equally fierce glare towards Calron.
It was clear that neither the boy nor the beast wanted to admit defeat!
“You damn monkey! Let go of my bird!”
Calron heatedly yelled, as he tugged the right leg of the roasted bird.
“Gagaga!”
A small baby monkey was on the opposite side of Calron, as it tightly gripped the wing of the roasted bird!
The tiny monkey was a common magical beast of the forest known as the Golden-Bellied Ape. A fully grown ape of that species had a coat of bright yellow fur and a protruded golden colored belly! Adult apes would only reach around two feet tall, so they were relatively a small-sized beast.
Although they were not overly strong, they were still part of the magical beasts and thus had an astonishing amount of physical strength!
This baby monkey had been pestering Calron for weeks since he had started living in the new cave, as it had once seen that the human boy cook some delicious meat.
A few weeks back, it had come up to Calron with its large cute eyes staring at him, as it pitifully pleaded the boy for some food.
Feeling bad for the baby monkey, Calron had generously given it a slice of the cooked boar that he had cooked back then. However, the little monkey had quickly gobbled it up, and turned its misty eyes once again towards the boy, as if requesting for more of that delicious meat.
Thinking that the baby monkey had probably been starving for days, Calron had gingerly handed it an entire leg of the cooked boar!
The little monkey had cheerfully grabbed the leg, and immediately darted away while excitedly yelling into the surroundings.
“Gagaga!”
Seeing that the baby monkey was so happy, Calron had sat down and enjoyed his own meal.
However, the little yellow monkey had returned the very next morning, boldly and struck out its hand, as if asking for more food from the human stranger.
Still groggy from sleep, Calron absentmindedly handed it a belly-cut of last night’s boar, but the little monkey rapidly shook its furry head while it gave a disdainful look at the cut of meat.
After a brief second, it excitedly pointed towards the last leg piece, as a trail of thin drool started to seep from the corner of its mouth.
“You little punk! That’s mine! Just eat this!”
Calron stated in an irritated voice, as he pushed the belly-cut meat in front of the baby monkey’s eyes.
Seeing that the large human was not giving it what it wanted, the baby monkey angrily stomped its tiny feet and suddenly rushed to snatch the last leg piece!
“Dammit!”
Realizing that his meal was about to be stolen, Calron had immediately activated the Blood Mist Step, while he grabbed the leg piece, and reappeared a few meters away.
“GAGA!”
The little monkey furiously screamed and glared at Calron, as if accusing him of cheating.
Feeling slightly ashamed of using the Blood Legacy to prevent a baby monkey from stealing his food, Calron softly sighed and dejectedly handed the leg piece over to the little monkey.
Seeing the human relinquish the prize, the little monkey cheerfully jumped up and down, as it quickly took the piece of meat and scurried away from Calron’s location.
After that incident, Calron had resigned himself to this unfortunate fate, and tried his best to prevent the little monkey from stealing his food again.
