Death… And Me Chapter 758 - Red Streak

Chapter 758 - Red Streak

One couldn't blame the Blood Rabbit for thinking like that. First, he wasn't like most demon beasts that liked to battle and kill. It wasn't in his nature as a Blood Rabbit. Second, he only lived with demon beasts most of the time. He rarely ever interacted with other humans, so his normal life was filled with interactions with ferocious demon beasts. This situation was a first for him. That's why he found it so amusing to keep pulling Malo's leg.

Malo, on the other hand, wasn't having fun at all. "Fine, fine, fine! I won't try to kill it. Just don't go out there telling others that I was bullying rabbits." After that, the tag game restarted. Of course, the rabbit made sure to make Malo's life as miserable as possible. While doing so, the younger kids watched and laughed.

Eventually, Malo understood that he was simply not the rabbit's match and stopped, cursing, "f.u.c.k this s.h.i.t! I give up! If you want this rabbit, go ahead and catch him yourselves. I'm out!" Malo then turned around and went down from the roof.

The Blood Rabbit saw that and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. 'Oh well. It was fun while it lasted, I guess. I commend you for entertaining this lord for so long. Now then. Let's take a look at the main building at the center,' the rabbit thought before turning around and left.

It didn't take long for it to reach the building. It looked around to see if there wasn't anything out of the ordinary before coming down. There were many entrances around the building, so he simply selected any random one. However, just as he pa.s.sed through the door, he froze, cursing inwardly, 's.h.i.t!'

"Catch him!" Malo, together with Falas, Poliana, Wataba, and Glennie, jumped at him from their hidden places. Sure enough, Malo hadn't given up at all. He went out to ask for help!

Usually, such a trap wouldn't work on a Stage Six Demon Beast. After all, its Spiritual Sense could cover the entire settlement if it wanted to. How could someone sneak on it with that advantage? However, it was being careful to not use it. After all, if there were Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation Realm cultivators there, they would feel the presence of its Spiritual Sense.

"You dare to trick this lord?!" Suddenly, the rabbit's color changed. Its snow-white fur seemed to be covered in blood, leaving no white spot whatsoever. Immediately, its Spiritual Sense spread everywhere as it became a red streak of light, moving away from the ambush point. Sure enough, as good as the trap might have been, the difference in cultivation was just too big!

Malo's group was taken aback by that scene. They weren't shocked that the rabbit was able to run. After all, Malo had failed many times and considered the possibility of his trap failing. What surprised them was the fact that the rabbit talked! "You! You're at least a Stage Six Demon Beast!"

The rabbit's eyes narrowed as he looked at Malo's group, responding, "Hmph! Only now you noticed that? You're really slow, not that I expected much from a human, though." The rabbit then playfully smiled in their direction as he said after, "With that, how should I punish you all for tricking me?"

Malo's group felt a chill on their backs. In front of such a demon beast, they couldn't even be considered ants. However...

"Oh! It seems like we have a visitor." Suddenly, a white-haired man appeared in the room as if he had popped out of nowhere. Naturally, that man was Rean, who had just felt the Blood Rabbit's Spiritual Sense.

Well, the rabbit also noticed Rean's presence the very moment he spread his Spiritual Sense. "Two Nascent Souls and two Stage Five Demon Beasts. No, one of them is a Demon Oak Tree, huh? That's quite rare." The rabbit obviously wasn't the least bit afraid. "Still, what a weird bunch. I don't remember ever seeing humans and demon beasts living together."

Rean smiled in response, saying, "Hahaha! Well, that's because there aren't really many doing that in this continent. First of all, it isn't like this continent has that many humans." Following that, his smile disappeared as he continued, "So, what would the Blood Rabbit, the strongest demon beast in Fruzei Hills, be doing here?"

The rabbit checked the other enemies like Roan and Kentucky. However, it didn't seem like they wanted to come to support Rean. 'Are they that confident?'

"What am I doing here? This is my territory, you know? My question is what you're doing here instead. Shouldn't you at least ask for my permission before establishing yourselves here?" Of course, he wasn't afraid.

Rean found it strange as he replied, "This is just the Inner Region, far away from the Core. I would understand why a Stage Five Demon Beast would control this area, but not a demon beast at Stage Six. I thought that as the strongest demon beast, you would be living at the very center of the Core Region."

The rabbit laughed in response as he replied, "Hahaha! Indeed, most demon beasts would be like that. However, I'm not a carnivore, so I go everywhere to look for the best plants to eat. Simply put, I consider the entire Fruzei Hills as my territory, and the Stage Five Demon Beasts don't dare to complain."

Rean had to admit that it was surprising. "I see...anyway, we've established ourselves here because this is a good place to live. It's well surrounded by the five peaks, which makes it easier to protect if necessary. It also has many demon beasts at Stage Two, Three, and Four. That's a very good thing so our tribe members can train."

He then continued, "Besides, it shouldn't be a bad thing for the demon beasts in Fruzei Hills either. After all, demon beasts need battles to improve, and we will definitely give it to them. It's a win-win situation."

The rabbit nodded, saying in response, "That's true. However, I don't like it when someone enters my territory and pretends that it's already theirs."

"Is that so?" Rean pondered for a bit when he got an idea. Suddenly, an orange vegetable appeared in his hand. Back in Sunkan Planet, anyone would easily identify this vegetable. However, in this world that had been covered by ice most of its time, this was a non-existent plant. Naturally, this vegetable was a carrot!

The Blood Rabbit didn't know why, but the moment its eyes saw that divine orange vegetable, its entire body trembled as his mouth drooled nonstop. "Th-Th-This orange thing...what is it? Say it!"

One must remember that Rean and Roan had always kept food inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm in case they needed it later. Naturally, some carrots and their seeds ended up coming to this planet once they were teleported. Later on, they had the kids and teenagers cultivate them together with the other farms in the valley, so they had a lot of them now.

Rean smiled in response to the Blood Rabbit's question, saying, "This is a delicacy called a carrot. It's something that only we possess on this entire planet. It isn't wrong to say that we created it ourselves." Of course, that was a lie...not that Rean would say that. "Here, try one." After that, Rean threw it at the rabbit.

The rabbit narrowed his eyes when he caught the divine orange vegetable called carrot. What if it was poisoned? Wouldn't he die straight away? However, he simply couldn't resist his urges. It was stronger than himself!

*Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp...*

It was hard to believe it was a Stage Six Demon Beast. Even its eating form was the exact same as a common rabbit's. Rean expected a demon Beast of that level to eat the carrot in a single bite, but it acted just like the rodent it was. 'It's kinda...cute,' Rean muttered inwardly.

Nevertheless, it didn't take long for the rabbit to finish eating its food. "Ah!" Only then did it come back to himself. "What kind of skill did you used in that carrot thing? It made me lose my mind for a moment. How despicable!"

Rean's mouth twitched in response, saying, "Despicable your a.s.s! That was just a normal carrot. Nothing more, nothing less. What bulls.h.i.t skill are you talking about? It was you who couldn't resist the vegetable. Don't blame others for your lack of self-control!"

"Hmph! As if this lord would stoop down that easily just because of food." The Blood Rabbit wasn't buying it, though. Then again... "However, this lord has to admit that that was a nice snack. If you share this...carrot...this lord won't bother your bunch anymore." In the end, he couldn't resist it.

Rean sighed before throwing a small bag at the rabbit, saying, "Take it."

The rabbit used its Spiritual Energy to look inside and saw many seeds there. "What are these? This lord wants the orange one."

Rean shrugged his shoulders, responding, "This is that. Those are carrot seeds. Just plant them and take care until they grow big enough. Usually, it takes between three and four months for them to be ready for harvest. Now then, we have a deal. Don't bother us in our settlement anymore."

The rabbit didn't like it. "Harvest? Plant them? This lord doesn't like to waste time with it. Just do it yourselves, and I'll come by to take them."

Rean was just about to complain when he had an idea. "Well, fine. However, you'll have to guarantee that the Stage Five Demon Beasts of Fruzei Hills won't come here to bother our settlement. Can you do that?"

The rabbit immediately nodded, responding, "Obviously. After all, I can't let them intervene with my carrots."

Rean smiled after hearing that, saying, "That's good. By the way, my name is Rean. What should I call you?"

"This one is Lord Red Streak."
