The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Learn Things the Hard Way

“Burrow, you’re incredible: You kept all your younger brothers safe in the forest for so many days!”

“Mom! As long as you and Eva are safe, it would’ve been worth it even if we’d died.”

Matilda shook her head in disapproval.

“Male younglings’ lives matter too! Don’t ever do anything that reckless again!”

She knew they had been worried about her and Eva, but the forest was far too dangerous. Her male younglings were especially timid and had never even traveled far from home, yet they had somehow found the courage to come looking for them.

Burrow’s eyes stung, and he nodded obediently.

Finally, Marcus stepped out, one thick, furry leg at a time.

The moment he appeared, the lion knew it had lost. No matter how unwilling it was to retreat, it could only tuck its tail between its legs and run.

When the lionesses saw their protector fleeing, they immediately trotted after him.

Marcus had already sensed the lion’s presence clashing with Zane’s and knew there had been an intense fight, though in reality, Zane had simply been beating the lion senseless.

As soon as Marcus arrived, the lion fled in terror,

Marcus proudly raised his giant head and looked at Zane.

“Zane, it was just a wild animal. How did it take you so long to deal with it? I scared off one that looked exactly like it with a single hit!”

Zane said nothing, refusing to argue with someone so childish.

Claire clapped her hands.

“Alright, alright. We finally found Eva’s brothers. Zane, Marcus, thank you both!”

Matilda led all the female beastfolk and the eight male beastfolk in thanking Claire and the others.

“Claire, these are the eight brothers I told you about. They’re not bad, right? They may not compare to your two beast mates, but they’re smart and good with their hands. They know how to make all kinds of things!”

“Make things?”

Claire rubbed her chin as though she were considering it, but her thoughts had already wandered

elsewhere.

When it came to craftsmanship, Zane was no slouch either.

He had made all kinds of furniture while they were staying with the fox clan, and every piece had been beautifully crafted that it could have passed for a priceless work of art.

Rufus was exceptionally skilled at sewing clothes.

Marcus was a little clumsy, but compared to other beastfolk, even he was unusually capable.

At that thought, Claire shook her head.

“No, no. I’ll pass. Eight is way too many!”

She couldn’t handle that.

Just imagining eight rabbit beastfolk staring at her all day with those pitiful red eyes, constantly begging for her attention, was exhausting.

Eva pulled Burrow forward and refused to give up.

“Then what about just Burrow? He’s the strongest of my brothers. Look, he’s already Level 2!”

Claire nearly laughed. She glanced at Zane, who had already shifted back into human form. He looked completely indifferent, but he was clearly tense inside, and he kept watching Claire’s expression from th corner of his eye.

“Eva, why don’t you take a good look at what level Zane and Marcus are?”

The hope in Burrow’s eyes immediately dimmed.

Matilda tugged Eva back and smiled at Claire.

“Claire, don’t take Eva seriously!”

Claire hadn’t taken it seriously at all. She assumed Eva was joking and laughed it off before waving Marcu

over.

“Marcus, how are the beastlings?”

The moment Marcus heard Claire call him, he eagerly leaned his huge head toward hier, rubbed it against her waist, and said pitifully, “The beastlings are fine. It’s just that I fought a lion earlier, and now my head feels a little dizzy.”

Matilda and the others, who had personally watched Marcus send the lion flying, stared at him in disbelief

Is this guy serious?

Didn’t he send the lion fiying with one hit? If anyone was dizzy, it should’ve been the lion.

Still, they wisely kept quiet.

re rubbed Marcus’s panda head and said, “Alright, alright. You can carry me later.

Marcus was so delighted that he nearly jumped for joy.

Claire winked playfully at Zane, and he nodded in understanding.

Claire had noticed that he was tired from the fight and was worried about him.

File

Matilda told Burrow and the others what they planned to do next. They all agreed with Claire’s plan and joined the group.

With the addition of the eight male beastfolk, things became much easier for the Level 2 females. Most the time, they could ride on the rabbit beastfolkbacks in animal form, with one rider per rabbit.

Travel itself wasn’t difficult for male beastfolk. The real problem was the wild animals they might encounter along the way, but with Zane and Marcus in the group, the danger had naturally dropped considerably.

Burrow stayed close behind Marcus, his long ears listening to Claire laugh and play with the younglings Marcus’s back.

Even though he couldn’t see her, he could imagine how captivating she looked when she smiled.

Matilda naturally noticed Burrow’s unusual behavior. She knew her beastling wasn’t good enough for Claire, but Burrow was the type who had to learn things the hard way. Even running headfirst into a wall once usually wasn’t enough to make him give up.

Matilda sighed and let him be.
