Chapter 267: Group (1)
I did feel a little regret that Yeolbi had run away, but as I watched the kids searching for him, I couldn’t help thinking: Can you really catch a runaway so easily?
Yo-hwa had gone into a frenzy organizing the search party, but still—if Yeolbi wasn’t a complete idiot, he would’ve run far by now. If he found a place to hide underground, we’d never find him.
To be honest, I didn’t feel that strongly about bringing him back.
Even if we did manage to catch him, I wasn’t confident we could tame him again.
These divine beasts were smart. They could understand human speech and think for themselves.
If he had been dreaming of the wild while pretending to be tame right in front of us, then... would it even be possible to truly tame someone like that?
Even in my past life, we didn’t always succeed in raising wild-caught animals.
Just like humans have different personalities, so do venomous creatures.
There’s always the occasional one who just doesn’t adjust.
Some would flat-out refuse to eat any feed. Others, once adopted, would refuse food completely, as if longing for the wild.
The ones who simply wouldn’t eat feed were the easy ones. You could just give them live food like fingerling mealworms or crickets.
Some creatures naturally preferred live prey anyway, so it wasn’t that big of a deal.
