Chapter 688: The Last Ti
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After giving up the plan to make use of Burke to lure Cole out, the tribe had also more or less recovered and there was no need for them to continue recuperating at the sa spot.
Auretin and Ian made the necessary arrangents and the next morning, everyone got ready to set off towards Saint Nazaire at Gu ngng’s command.
Burke had been inviting Gu ngng every morning to co along with him for the hunting expeditions of Kanwu and his brothers. However, Gu ngng never agreed again. She replied with a “You guys go ahead, I am not going.” every single ti, not even bothering to make up an excuse.
Nevertheless, Burke persisted in appearing before Gu ngng every morning to inform her of where Kanwu and his brothers would be training that day, what type of wild animals would they encounter, as well as what kind, brave performance her children might put up.
At the start, Gu ngng steadfastly rejected.
However, she was rather tempted by the progress of her children.
But whenever she was nearly convinced by Burke and wanted to tag along, Lea would suddenly scurry over and pull her into his arms before baring his teeth at Burke. Sotis, he would even attack Burke with a paw or a vicious swipe of his tail.
Burke behaved like a piece of wood. He did not retaliate or beco angry at the blows.
Heh, Gu ngng knew that this was an ordeal that all males must undergo when pursuing a female. Before getting the permission of the female to beco part of the family, single males in the territory of a female would naturally be treated as an invader.
There were only three outcos to this situation: The suitor was so powerful that the original partner had no choice but to cede; the original partner was so powerful that he would chase after the suitor and kill him; or the female was touched by the suitor and accepted him as a partner.
Only the above three scenarios would end the conflict.
Burke and Lea were both third-level beasts. He was not in peak condition and may not be Lea’s match, but he would not be an easy fight. Nevertheless, he was content to stand there and absorb the beatings. Burke was putting up a subservient front so that they would all get along when they beca one big happy family one day.
Gu ngng sighed. It looked like this Burke had truly fallen for her.
Realizing that, Gu ngng started avoiding Burke when he ca to invite her, so as to prevent the insanely jealous Lea from accidentally killing Burke. She pestered Lea to hold her while having Elvis go reject Burke’s invitation.
A team with 18 females moved at a snail’s pace.
They finally reached sowhere near Saint Nazaire five days later.
“Settle down and take a rest.” Elvis raised his hand as a signal, while still carrying Gu ngng.
A simple sentence uttered from his lips was like a decree that could not be defied. Everyone had no choice but to comply.
Burke ca over once again. This was the second ti today he had sought out Gu ngng.
“At this rate, we should be able to reach Saint Nazaire by night ti.” Burke stood about five paces away from Gu ngng. He gazed at her with profound eyes. “After reaching Saint Nazaire, I need to return to Sauder to continue taking care of my tribe. That is why today will be the last ti Kanwu and the rest will be training under ... we will be carrying out a coordinated hunt and the prey might be a tiger or horned animal. It will be a major challenge for the children. Do you... want to co along?”
