318 – Side Story Ars (4)

Flying Tiger.

It is a predator that lives in upper floors.

It has a tiger-like appearance and has a variety of fur colors, from bright orange to light brown, but is characterized by black stripes on all of it.

While hiding in a bush or a huge tree, it catches a target from a distance with its keen bird-like eyes, jumps high in the sky, spreads the membranes on both legs, picks up the air current, and flies like a spear to attack its prey. .

Usually, it targets enemies of a similar physique as itself, and uses its own body weight to strike down the enemy, causing great damage to the enemy so that they cannot resist. Then, in order to easily climb trees, it uses its hook-like claws to cling tightly to the enemy. They hunt by harassing and draining their power.

Tough leather. A flexible body unique to the cat family. Additionally, it has a body structure that can withstand the impact of being hit from a high place. All of this adds up to make the flying tiger the perfect predator, one of the fastest and most agile in the world, while also being tenacious and sturdy.

Even the rhino, which intimidated Chester and Monia when they first went upstairs and has the strength to easily knock down dozens of giant trees upstairs, is bound to suffer great damage if attacked by a flying tiger.

Of course, the flying tiger would have to risk its life to fight a rhino, but on the other hand, the fact that it was worth risking its life to hunt a rhino proved the flying tiger’s strength.

In the past, all the creatures upstairs seemed like monsters, but the Chester family, who lived on the island and learned more about the island by interacting with the people at the top, began to learn little by little about the ecological structure of the creatures upstairs.

I knew that no matter how monstrous their strength or monstrous size they were, they were ultimately creatures.

That’s why Monia wasn’t embarrassed. She wasn’t nervous.

Although it was surprising that a creature from upstairs had escaped the management of the people at the top and came down to the lower level, there was no more surprise.

Monia simply pulled Starflower’s protest.

“Ars, weren’t you scared?”

Even if it is a flying tiger cub, it is a threat from upstairs. It’s as big as a crocodile, and considering its strength and hunting skills, what’s the point?

In the fall, the ant wolves that become the most vicious predators downstairs are just ants upstairs. Literally.

Of course, the strength of a creature is not determined by things like strength or hunting skills. Survival and fertility.

It was the same in this case.

If we were to compare the strength of a living creature, Monia would never be able to match the flying tiger cub. However, that did not necessarily mean that Monia would be hunted to death.

“Ahhh~.”

“Really? Was it okay? “Our Ars is brave!”

As proof, the Flying Tiger became a cold corpse and lay down at Monia’s feet.

“Sssssha.”

After taking the body of the tiger cub to the river, Monia began grooming her.

Monia took the skin, meat, teeth and claws of the raw tiger cub and returned to her home with them.

She returned home to find Chester laying branches on the ground, building the foundation for a pig farm. The foundation of the kennel that Chester was building was so high that it was higher than Chester’s head.

“Chester, I’m here.”

“A little late?”

“Yes. “I have some work to do on the way.”

Chester was surprised when Monia showed him the skin of a flying tiger cub. He removed her head as he skinned her, but the skin and stripes between her legs made it immediately clear that it was a raw tiger skin.

“Are you both hurt?”

“Yes! “It’s okay for me and Ars!”

Monia smiled and showed the grass she had cut. Chester nodded at her, seeing that it was full of tough grass.

“Now, can you make some mud for me? “I will also help you build the foundation.”

As Chester said this, he took out a piece of string from his belt and began tying tree branches horizontally to the tall tree branch pole.

He plans to make a foundation by tying tree branches into a grid pattern.

“Okay! Oh, can you take a look at Ars?”

When Monia smiled and handed Ars over, Chester, who was a little upset that Monia took Ars away, pretended not to be and accepted Ars while smiling.

Monia laughed at Chester like that and went to the back of her house and pulled her dangling string.

When the string is pulled, the newly created waterway opened after Chester and Monia returned to the island and water falls down.

After Monia received water in a small jar, she took it with her and poured the water into a dirt-filled space near her house.

“Hmm. Shall we do one more?”

After adding one more jar’s worth of water, Monia stabbed a nearby earthen wall with a shovel and stirred it to collapse, then mixed the earth and water to make a paste.

Monia went barefoot into the clay batter, breaking it up with a shovel and stepping on it with her feet. If she felt there was too much earth, she poured the remaining water in the jar. If she felt there was too much water, she broke down more earth to get the right consistency. Made from clay.

The mud making was soon finished, and Monia began mixing the grass she had brought into the mud she had made.

As she was applying the prepared dough to the foundation, a black wind brought a bunch of stones from somewhere.

“I’m here!”

The black wind that brought the stone broke it into pieces of appropriate size, then she placed the stone on top of the mud that Monia had spread on the foundation and then spread mud on top of it again.

Branches of the steel tree. A paste of grass and mud. Rock. On top of that, again, the dough of grass and mud.

By repeating the work, the Chester family and the Black Wind began to build a strong and safe wall that was so thick and strong that no one dared to target it.

It took quite some time to continue work while waiting for the mud to dry, so the Chester family completed the wall after dividing the work over several days. Next, they brought thorn trees and planted them around the castle wall.

Even if there is a creature that can jump over the castle wall, this thorn tree will catch the creature’s footsteps one step ahead and prevent it from jumping over the castle wall.

“You don’t make doors?”

The end of work. When the walls of the kennel were completed without a door and with only a few holes for ventilation here and there, the black wind looked puzzled and asked.

Then Chester showed me a rope tied to a tree branch near the house.

“Oh, I see.”

The rope tied to a tree branch went over the kennel wall and stretched to the ground outside.

Up until now, I had been going up and down using the rope right below the house, but I was thinking of going up and down using this in the future.

“Now all we have to do is make the path to the rope a little safer. “Thank you for your help so far.”

“No, I had fun too.”

Black Wind smiled at Chester, who thanked him, and left the couple’s house.

While they were working, Chester and Monia released the pigs they had kept in a shed near their house and let them out in the kennel. They smiled with satisfaction at the sight of the two pigs walking awkwardly around the kennel.

The pigs did not notice the gazes of the men and women laughing at them and ran around, eagerly covering their new home with their scent.

– Quiik!

The pig succeeded in escaping from the high wall that had always blocked its path and ran through the forest at breakneck speed.

As usual, the pig spent his time eating, sleeping, and swaddling, and at night he fell asleep. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he suddenly found himself sleeping outside the wall.

I didn’t know what the situation was, but there was no time to think long or hastily because a threatening predator was chasing after me.

– Quieee!

As the sound of footsteps coming from behind her got closer, the pig that was running away was frightened and walked faster.

At that time, the ‘shooting tooth’ that the predator had flew out and got stuck in the pig’s back.

– Kiik!

The pig is screaming and rolling around.

“Gotcha!”

The moment the predator stopped moving its feet while shouting and slowly approached the pig, the moment the predator’s steps slowed and its muscles relaxed, the pig jumped up and started running again.

“Ah?!”

The startled predator screams, and the pig uses the shadows of trees and bushes to escape from the predator….

“Ars.”

I couldn’t hit it.

This is because a larger predator than the one chasing him suddenly appeared and snatched the pig.

“How many times have I told you that you shouldn’t ignore animals?”

“Ugh.”

“There are many creatures that are smarter than you, creatures that are stronger than you, and creatures that are more experienced than you. “Did I tell you?”

“uuu… sorry.”

Chester patted his son’s head as he apologized and then held out the pig he was holding.

“Now.”

“… ….”

Ars, who was looking at the pig that Chester held out with a grin, said hesitantly.

“But you didn’t catch me? “If you can’t catch it, you don’t eat the pig.”

“It’s okay. I’ll tell my mom that Ars got it. A secret between the two of us. Understand?”

“… ….”

“Huh? “Don’t you like it?”

When Chester said with a smile, Ars shook his head vigorously, saying he didn’t hate it, and then took out the knife that Chester had made.

Then he held the pig’s body tightly and plunged the knife into it.

Ars. 5 Years old.

This young hunter, who grew faster than others, was excited and laughed heartily at the thought of eating pork today.
