Chapter 252 I am the Poison King Xingye, she said my eyes are like stars in the sky
My name is Axing.
No, my name is not Axing, I am the Poison King: Xingye.
My birth was no different from that of other scorpion beasts. I was even weaker and slower than my brothers in doing everything.
When I was born from the egg, I often heard my mother crying and my father comforting me.
"Gula, be patient. Scorpion beasts are hatched this way." Kru's voice was filled with heartache.
The mother hit his arm and cried, "But I haven't had a good sleep for several days. I'm so afraid that they will suddenly come out..."
Scorpion beasts are different from other egg-laying beastmen. They are not hatched by their fathers, but are attached to their mothers' skin from birth until they hatch.
Kelu coaxed in a low voice: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't mean it, I didn't expect to get married right away, can you not have children in the future?"
At that time, I was thinking that we were not expected and came into this world by accident.
Kru is different from other scorpion beasts. He seems to never care about his cubs, but he also seems to care a lot.
It was night when the shell broke out.
I crawled out of the thin shell and looked at the white area in front of me. While other brothers were crawling forward, I chose to go down.
Now that I think about it, I, Hoshino, am a unique person!
Everything about me should be different.
Sure enough, when I crawled onto the animal skin mat, my mother let out a sharp scream.
Then she jumped up, and Kru was also awakened and hurried to help her to beat off her compatriots.
Well, after all, my choice was the right one.
The mother swatted all the little scorpions away and then burst into tears. I looked at the densely packed little scorpions on the ground and understood them in my heart.
Who wouldn’t be scared when seeing this thing?
Like a good friend, Kelu patted her mother's back and said, "Gula, are you scared? Don't be afraid, I'll throw them out right now, okay?"
I was startled and thrown out. With my small body, I thought I would be crushed if I was thrown out.
Fortunately, although Kru didn't have any animal nature, he still had some spirit in his mother. She didn't throw us out, but made a straw basket and put us in it.
I blinked my big eyes and looked at her, and she seemed stunned.
I heard her mutter, "Crew...his eyes look like mine."
Kelu swallowed and tried to stop my mother from putting us together, but then she said that my eyes looked like hers.
Then he said, "Then let's raise it alone? It has beautiful eyes, and it was born on an animal skin mat, so it's quite well behaved."
This time Gula looked me in the eyes and didn't argue.
Kru quickly sewed a palm-sized animal hide bag and smiled as he put me into it.
"You are so lucky, but remember, don't crawl on your mother in the future, or you will die."
At that time, I didn't know what he meant when he said I was lucky. I just knew that my mother was afraid of scorpions, and if you crawled onto her, you wouldn't be treated so well.
So, except for eating, I usually stay in the animal skin bag.
It took me a while to figure out what Crewe meant by good luck.
Scorpion beasts are warlike and cold-blooded orcs. Putting them together will only stimulate their nature of fighting for territory and food.
Selfishness and greed are our bywords. Even if Kru gave enough food to his compatriots, it could not change their habit of fighting.
A whole litter of scorpion cubs died.
I am the only survivor.
That day, I saw my mother looking at the group of scorpions that were missing limbs but still holding fresh meat in their mouths. She was crying with some fear but also some regret.
"Kru, why didn't you tell me that they couldn't be raised together?"
Later I found out why my mother had the habit of putting scorpions together. It was because she was from the mole clan, and moles would give birth to many babies, so they were all raised together.
No problem.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m naturally cold-blooded, but when I saw all my compatriots die, I didn’t feel any emotion.
Neither did Kru, but there was a hint of hope in the look he gave me.
There is no male orc who doesn't want a cub, and the same goes for stray orcs.
I think I should be the luckiest scorpion cub.
As the days passed, I grew up day by day, but I always kept in mind one thing, that is, I should not get too close to my mother.
Unless she lets me pass.
Because the scorpion beast looks really scary.
However, what my mother likes most is my tail and my eyes.
After living for two or three winter seasons, I asked her, "Mom, why did you name me A-Xing? And why do you always touch my tail?"
I swung my tail lazily, feeling a little sleepy in the cold winter. I’m not a diligent orc anyway.
Mother smiled and said, "Because your eyes are like the stars in the sky, very beautiful, and your tail is sparkling, also very beautiful."
I thought about the group of scorpion beasts not far from here and agreed.
The other scorpions are black and their eyes are like black holes. They are really ugly. My tail is the most beautiful.
I was very happy watching Kru and his mother hugging each other.
Sometimes I fantasize that I will also occupy a female alone in the future. This is the standard of a strong man.
Of course, the female must also be different from me.
Unlike other scorpion cubs in the scorpion group, I live a very comfortable life, and Kru always accompanies me when hunting to protect my safety.
But there was one thing about Kru that really annoyed me, and that was that he never let my mother and I hang out with the scorpion beasts.
That day, I was looking at the stars outside the cave and wagging my tail out of boredom when my mother suddenly spoke:
"Axing, do you feel happy?"
happy?
It was okay, nothing that made me particularly excited, but also nothing that made me feel uncomfortable.
I thought about it and nodded: "It should be... happy."
"Mom is unhappy." Mother held my tail in her arms, stroking it, with an expression on her face that I had never seen before.
"Why?" I asked.
Ah Mu just pointed to the distance and said, "After I became a couple with Kru, I never went out again. I wanted to be free. Do you know how Kru and I met?"
I don't actually want to know how they met, I'm not really interested.
In other words, there is nothing in this world that interests me.
Everything seemed so boring.
But in order to please her, I still pretended to be curious.
She said that she wanted to leave the mole tribe and see the outside world, but females could not leave the tribe.
This was possible only if enough food and animal skins were handed over to the tribe. At that time, she didn't even have a partner and relied on her father for food and drink. How could she give them food?
So, being young and frivolous, she ran away.
