I wonder what this herd of cows eats in such a place. Maybe there's fish in the deep ice? Then again, fish can't swim in ice. Well. A conundrum!

I glanced back at what they were doing. Yes, they just walked there. There are some very small, I think children. Some corners are longer than others, but only one corner is significantly larger than others. Looking at them, I kind of wish they were as big as those primitive ponies, otherwise, if they were really the size of bison, with my own scales....

Hehe, let's not think about it! I had to survive, and that was —

a shadow hung over the herd, and I stopped. In the end

, it spread its light wings, spread its claws, and aimed at one of the cows. The appearance of this huge bird-like creature drove the other animals in the herd into a frenzy, and this bird was only a few centimeters away from one of the cows. It soared into the sky again, circling around, its black eyes staring downward, ready to strike again.

I did it right away. Faster than I thought.

The herd was soon at my feet, and the bird flew towards one of the stragglers—did that mean to cause panic and catch one of the scattered cows? It flies close to a cow with folded wings and open paws....

It only grabbed my own tentacles. It doesn't hurt.

It looked confused, dazed, and before it could escape, my fifteen tentacles shot at it, grabbing its feet, legs, and body, and it opened its mouth wide in horror, the equivalent of a raven to a human compared to me. Of course! Humans also have the opportunity to break the neck of a crow. The herd at my feet seemed unsure if it was panicking about the bird or me.

What they think of me doesn't matter now compared to the big bird that is currently struggling in my hands, so I ignored the cow at my feet and crushed the bird's trachea and spine.

It became weak in my hands, and in order to get rid of the body as quickly as possible, I fed it into the mouth of my great master.

Although I don't have a taste core, it has the general texture of raw chicken. Don't- don't ask me why I know. Otherwise, the bones will be crunchy and the offal will make a delicious mushy surprise inside.

The bird died and disappeared, and I didn't show any obvious attackers, and the flock of birds beneath my feet slowly calmed down and regained its calm. The bulls seemed ready to charge at me, and the cows and calves seemed more innocently curious than anything else. Because I really didn't want to disturb them or anything about the presence of animals, I moved away from them and removed the tentacles that were close to the cow before in case I stepped on any calves. It's like a kind Vajra ape man facing a human, ha.

Soon, the situation calmed down again. I walked in front, and they followed and kept a certain distance.

No, wait, hold on. Is it my eyes that are deceiving me, or are they getting closer to me?

No, no. They are not stupid!

They knew I was dangerous. There was no way they could have taken the opportunity to get close to me.

- No, wait, I take back that sentence. But there was a calf standing not far away, looking up at me with big brown eyes. Eyes sparkle. Oh my God, that's a beautiful little thing. It's so close to me that I can pick it up. I won't, but it looks so cute, I feel the need to pet it this way!

If it's not for rubbing, why are there such big furry ears?

The mother calf came over quickly, and her eyes were as big as the calf's eyes. We looked at each other, and soon, the other cows and calves approached. Slowly.

We began to walk almost side by side. They're far away from me, but they know for sure that I can eat them at any time, right?

... Or maybe they trust me? ... Or do you need the help of my giant bug?

The calf was looking at me with its beautiful watery bull eyes. Oh, my God. It's beautiful. They trust me, all right. Oh my God. My heart is about to melt.

The bull still seemed a little suspicious of me, but it slowly trusted me as we continued to walk and I didn't make a move to hurt them. In the same way, I trust them. After all, how could I not? Still, after walking with them for an hour or so, I began to wonder how they lived. I haven't seen a single green plant all this time, and I suspect they eat snow. I hope they're not cannibals, that would be weird. Ha ha.

...... Wait, what's over there?

Out of the middle of the deep ice we walked was something that looked like a bunch of protruding trees, if they could be called that. They appear to have grown out of an open hole filled with water in the ice. The trees themselves are an aquatic green, but it's hard to tell from this distance. As I approached the herd, it became more and more obvious to me that these were indeed some form of trees, with leaves and other things, albeit pale and strange in color. I wonder if I can eat them?

As we approached, the calves in the herd began to run half-way up the trees, jumping and jumping excitedly. Even though the excitement levels of the others weren't as obvious, I could still notice that their pace picked up.

We arrived. It's about half my size, but more than ten times taller than any cow. Some of the excited calves fell into the icy water around the tree, but they easily jumped back on the ice before I panicked and pulled them out myself.

Wow. Touching little things.

So is this what they eat? Strange big tree, right?

... I almost wanted to taste a leaf or two, but I didn't want to take food away from the herd. They all ate very respectfully, and the calf stood on its mother's back to reach the leaves... It's really cool. Since it's a plant, eating a leaf or two might give me herbivore skills, but I don't want to ——,

uh, the "Bull Demon King" is watching me. Huh, man?

The guy plucked a twig from the tree and held it up in front of me. As a gift.

I slowly moved my third tentacle and held the branch with my smallest hand, just small enough to hold the branch without breaking it. I put it in my mouth, chewed, and swallowed. I'm part of the team now, right? Ha.

I think he's brother to me now!

... Wait, why am I not getting the herbaceous feeling?

I didn't hear it; I felt this through the shaking of the ice. The "branch" that the herd was eating suddenly curled up and grabbed a few cows and calves, and then the creature finally revealed its true colors, breaking through the thick ice like a piston and appearing on the black ice with something large and black. Eye.

It's almost as big as me, but it makes up for it in quality. The mouth of an anglerfish and the body of a thick-skinned salamander. Sharp, thick claws dug into the ice, and bait overhead left the cows dangling helplessly. Its large, black eyes blinked, blinked, and then moved again, fleeing downward.

Hey, don't do that——!

My tentacles reached out to the fleeing figure, firmly grasping the bottom of its decoy. It opened its toothy mouth wide and was surprised and sluggish, but I didn't let go. Still, the ice beneath my tentacles was slippery, my tentacles started to slip, and there was nothing I could do but fall into the water with it, and I could only barely tear off its bait and throw it onto the ice before it was annihilated.
