Getting close to the corpse, Blanco bit off a mouthful and began to eat. As he did, he noticed a dark, ink-like substance seeping into the area where he had bitten.
The other baby creatures hurried over and started to feast on the remains of the dead bird-like creature. However, as they ate, they suddenly began to stagger and then collapsed to the ground.
Sniffing around, they eyed the spot where Blanco was eating and deliberately avoided that area.
Blanco didn't pay much attention to their actions, being too focused on eating. Their absence, however, allowed him ample time to consume his food undisturbed.
"Is it because of my roar yesterday?" Blanco finally noticed that no one was around him. He gazed at the others on the opposite side of the dead animal.
As he did, he slightly noticed the dark-purple spots spreading through the meat he was eating.
Sniff!
He sniffed it again and felt a wave of unease wash over him.
"Poison, and it's the same feeling from my dream. Could it be I have poison on my teeth?"
He took another bite from the animal and saw the dark stains spreading around the area he had bitten.
"Seems I don't have any effect from my own poison. Which is pretty nice," he thought to himself.
Without anyone to bother him, Blanco began to eat again to his heart's content. The fat creature that always ended up near him watched blanco eating with greedy eyes.
Blurp!
After eating his fill, Blanco slowly walked towards the giant round door, his stomach fully round. He leaned against a corner, gazing outside. The cold wind blowing in felt like a comfortable massage to his body.
"Haaa, life of an animal. If only I could stay like this till the end of my life," enjoying the outside view, Without even realizing it, his eyes slowly closed, and he succumbed to sleep.
After a long sleep, the tiny newborn baby opened her eyes. She stood up with lazy movements, shaking her head a bit. Then she glanced at the spot where she had seen Blanco sleeping before she fell asleep and noticed that he was no longer there.
It began to panic as it realized Blanco was not close by. It hurriedly looked around, but at that moment, the giant head of its mother lowered toward it and gently grabbed the creature in her mouth.
The mother moved her away and placed her closer to some food she had kept safe for the tiny creatures.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
After placing the baby creature closer to the food, the mother creature glanced back at all the eggs she had laid. At that moment, only tiny bits of shell remained, as all of them had hatched. Being the last one to hatch, the mother creature showed some extra love towards her final baby.
The tiny baby ate the bit of food its mother had kept for it. Afterward, it looked around and saw Blanco sleeping comfortably near the opening of their little hole. Some sun rays from outside fell onto Blanco's body, making him shine like a radiant white crystal against the ground.
The wind that gently flowed into the hole first greeted his body, bringing a refreshing chill from outside, which made him even more comfortable.
Kuu!
Seeing Blanco, the baby creature exclaimed joyfully and ran toward him. But after only a few steps, a wave of exhaustion fell over its body. Feeling heavy and tired, sleepiness took over, and it slowly closed its eyes.
The mother creature gazed at Blanco, who was sleeping comfortably. She let him enjoy the feeling for a few seconds before walking up to him, gently grabbing him with her mouth, and bringing him back into the nest. She placed him upon a soft bed of feathers.
Blanco curled up on the feathered bed, enjoying its warm comfort.
After Blanco curled up and slept comfortably, another creature came close to him, the slightly chubby one. It moved around Blanco for a few rounds before finally settling itself in the bed close to Blanco. It closed its eyes, finding comfort in the warmth of the nest.
Within a few minutes, it succumbed to sleep, and without even realizing it, it rolled onto the hay floor and ended up on Blanco's body.
- - - -
In a dark space, Blanco opened his eyes.
"Where am I? It's the same darkness, but I don't see that flower bud or the corrosive mouth," being confused Blanco looked around and at the moment he caught a familiar smell.
"This smell, I remember this."
Suddenly, a giant roasted pig appeared in the space, a short distance away from Blanco.
It glistened in brown and golden hues, rolling gently while emitting rising smoke.
Gulp!
Seeing the roasted pork, Blanco swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.
Blanco dashed towards the delicious-looking pork, his steps fast and his expression greedy.
But even as he ran for a while, the distance between him and the roasted pork didn't close in. Instead, it remained the same as before, and he never got any closer to the meat.
"Ah, what's going on? Let me get a taste of you," Blanco muttered in frustration.
Blanco lost his patience as he ran towards the tantalizingly roasted pork, which seemed to stay just out of reach no matter how hard he tried.
Gruuk!
His stomach rumbled. "Hold on a minute, buddy. Dinner is right in front of you," Blanco thought to himself.
He leaped forward, hoping to finally reach the pork and eat, but it never happened.
Arghhh!
"Just come here, you wicked bastard!" Blanco's hunger reached its peak, the rumbling stench urging him to scream more and more as he ran. Despite feeling exhausted, he never stopped running.
"Just a bit more," Blanco thought as he ran, his eyes fixed on the meat with desperate hunger. But his tired body was reaching its limit. Putting all of his hope into one more jump, he leaped forward towards the meat, while the rumbling of his stomach echoed louder than ever.
Gruuk!
Blanco, who was sleeping soundly upon the hay bed, was abruptly awakened by the rumbling sound of his stomach.
"Meat, my delicious meat," he murmured in a half-asleep state, licking his lips. But in the next moment, he fully awakened.
He saw an unusual sight: the mother creature was looking outside from the hole in their place, her face showing worry.
Blanco prepared to get up, but the familiar weight fell upon his body.
"What the hell, not again," Blanco grumbled as he pushed the fat creature away from him.
"Whoa, it's easier than before."
"I'm growing really fast," satisfied with his growth,Blanco walked toward the door of their place, closer to his mother.
