Crap!
Yu Xingqiao watched as the pacifier fell into the dark and dense forest and disappeared all of a sudden, and couldn’t help but be shocked——
This big tiger couldn’t have done this intentionally, right?
Seeing the tiger’s aggressive look, Yu Xingqiao understood that the situation was urgent, and did not have the intention to pick up the pacifier.
He hurriedly clicked on the skill tree and used the 100 or so source power points that had been saved to raise Jun Lu’s two primary skills to Lv5 and the advanced skill Shadow Cage to Lv3.
The last 21 points left were not enough to upgrade anymore.
Yu Xingqiao had to give up and watched the plot develop nervously.
In the game.
When Jun Lu saw that the pacifier was thrown away, his heart couldn’t help but freeze. Although he had disliked its appearance, this piece of protective gear really proved to be powerful.
He was able to get through the day unscathed and recover from his injuries, this protective gear was credited with increasing both affinity and concealment effects, all unique and powerful.
And this magical beast in front of him, unexpectedly came up and removed this arm of his, it obviously came prepared!
Jun Lu stared closely at the big tiger, feeling it would be a little tricky. However, soon, he sensed a strange feeling surging up inside his body.
This feeling was already very familiar to him.
It was the feeling of the source power disappearing and transforming into a skill boost.
[Shadow Binding, Shadow Tentacle upgraded to lv5]
[Shadow Cage upgraded to lv3]
A reminder from the system appeared in front of his eyes.
Jun Lu did not pay attention to it, but only carefully experienced the feeling brought by this upgrade, and his heart once again had a deeper sense of understanding of shadows.
He couldn’t help but sigh. Who would have thought, he had just fused darkness last night, and in just one day and one night, he could get such a big upgrade!
Even he, who prided himself on being a genius, did not dare to imagine such a speed before this.
Was this the benefit of sacrificing his soul to a demon? No wonder so many people in the legends he had heard of became fanatical followers of demons until ……
Jun Lu frowned slightly and collected his mind.
Now was not the time to think about other things. The skills’ improvement was proof that the “demon” had not left; he was still watching him.
He could no longer be as useless as before, at least he had to prove his worth.
Jun Lu became more cautious.
He hid himself in the dark shadow of the tree and watched the sudden emergence of the big tiger with vigilance.
Apart from the octopus in the water pool, this magic tiger was considered the strongest among the magical beasts he had encountered since his escape, and that giant python was probably not strong enough in front of it.
In its body, one could feel the aura of fire and thunder. It was probably an evolved magical beast like Arashi.
However, under Jun Lu’s gaze, the mutant tiger did not continue to attack, but surveyed him with interest, its expression alive and well, just like a human.
This modeling was really awesome, it felt more real than a CGI movie.
Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
“Interesting.”
Just then, a thick and rough male voice rang out from the speaker, making Yu Xingqiao stunned for a moment.
Wow, this big tiger can talk too!

Jun Lu did not answer.
The big tiger did not mind, his long tail waved and said to himself, “There’s no mistaking this aura, but ……”
“How can you be so dark?”
The big tiger cocked its head, “I remember that the original form of the Light Race is like a small sun, so how come you are so black?”
Its words reminded Yu Xingqiao of the small ball of light at the very beginning of the game.
The light on the small ball of light was also very dim ……
Yu Xingqiao’s eyes fell in the shadows and looked at Jun Lu who was almost one with the darkness.
He wondered, in the future, would the cub be able to turn back into a little sun from under his care?
He was quite looking forward to seeing the cub glow again.
Jun Lu didn’t know what Yu Xingqiao was thinking, and when faced with the big tiger’s inquiry, he did not answer, but became more vigilant.
This was the first time since his escape that he had met a magical beast that was willing to talk to him properly.
However, this did not mean anything.
Seemingly sensing his hostility, the big tiger flicked its tail and raised its chin proudly, saying, “You don’t need to look at me like that, I’m not interested in eating you.”
“The flesh and blood of the Light Race is a poison to a Wisdom Species like me; only those inferior races without spiritual intelligence would tend to rush to it.”
Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but ask: “System, what does Wisdom Species mean?”
[World background introduction, detection requires payment of 10 Gold coins.]
Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said in a good-natured way, “Give you, give you.”
[Ding~ 10 gold coins paid successfully.]
[Wisdom Species, refers to the intelligent species among the magical beasts. Intelligent species have spiritual intelligence at birth, their lifespan is twice as long as the average human, and after a long period of growth, they are likely to be able to transform into human form.]
Yu Xingqiao rubbed his chin, “Then Arashi is also an Intelligent species?”
[Pet [Arashi] is a mutant wind wolf, not an Intelligent race.]
“Then how come he can also talk?”
It’s even a super nice young uncle voice! Yu Xingqiao recalled Arashi’s voice and felt that its voice actor was really too excellent.
[Ding~ Deducted 5 Gold coins successfully.]
[Non-intelligent species can also have intelligence after evolution and advancement, but this process is too long, so most low-level magical beasts won’t be able to do it even after a lifetime.]
[The pet [Arashi]’s case is special. Under the three effects of the pet contract, the blood of the Light Race, and the power of the Wind Wolf King, it has prompted its evolution, and with the Wolf Tooth Necklace, its future is full of countless possibilities.]
Yu Xingqiao nodded his head.
Although he didn’t understand it very well, it was right to know that Arashi’s qualifications weren’t bad.
“Then why did this big tiger say that the cub’s flesh and blood was poison to it?”
[Ding~ Deducted 10 gold coins successfully.]
[Although the blood and flesh of one of the Light Race can prompt the magical beast to advance, with the help of external breakthroughs, it will be much more difficult to improve further after the advancement.]
So that’s how it is ……
For ordinary magical beasts, they may not be able to advance in rank for the rest of their lives, so they naturally pursued his family’s cub. While on the other hand, the higher ranked magical beasts can cultivate on their own, so they have no urgent needs.
Then what exactly does this big tiger want?
Yu Xingqiao put his gaze back onto the game and watched the plot development somewhat nervously.
He casually detected the tiger’s information and found that it was also a double S rarity and had reached the high rank- a mid-rank python almost killed the cub, let alone a high rank!
Yu Xingqiao’s heart immediately seized up.
Under his gaze, the little black ball hiding in the shadows slowly changed into a human form.
The little boy, about three or four years old, appeared in the picture.
He was not even as tall as the big tiger’s leg. With his thin body, he reckoned that the big tiger could swallow him in one bite. Watching this, Yu Xingqiao felt more and more worried.
However, in the face of a strong enemy, the little boy may look solemn, but unafraid. He was still so young, but already had an extraordinary temperament.
As expected of his family’s cub!
Yu Xingqiao felt more and more like an old father, looking at their own family’s cub. No matter how you see it, he looked satisfied.
While Jun Lu had already asked: “Who are you? Have you seen the Light Race before?”
The big tiger looked him up and down in human form, a few moments of envy flowed from its eyes, it puffed out its chest and said proudly, “My grandfather’s grandfather has seen before.”
Intelligent races basically have inherited memories, so although the learning power of magical beasts was generally lower than that of humans, with inherited memories to make up for it, the gap could be quickly reduced.
Jun Lu nodded gently.
The big tiger suddenly glared, pointing at the blood of the magical beasts spilled around Jun Lu and said, “You killed so many of my fellow clansmen, this is a violation of the convention.”
At that, Yu Xingqiao asked the system, “And what’s the convention?”
[Ding ~ Deducted 10 gold coins successfully.]
[The Convention of the Illustris Empire: Humans are forbidden to hunt and kill magical beasts on a large scale, and magical beasts are not allowed to enter or leave human cities at will.]
Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but touch his chin; it could be considered as having a little understanding of the game world setting.
But these magical beasts took the initiative to attack his family’s cub, the cub only acted in self-defense, this was not a violation of that something convention, right?
“I’m not human.”
The little boy’s dumb little voice rang out, Yu Xingqiao eyes lit up.
Right, right, the convention referred to humans and magical beasts. The cub was one of the Light Race, certainly not human and of course not bound to the convention!
The big tiger obviously choked for a moment.
This convention, which was set by the Light Race, had existed since the establishment of the empire, but it did not say that the Light Race was also bound by the convention.
But such a statement was too cunning, right?
The big tiger felt a little stifled.
It surveyed the little boy- his red pupils were cold and icy, without the slightest temperature like falling frost and snow.
“How strange.”
“In your body, I did not sense any light aura, but rather a very unpleasant sense of gloom. Are you really a cub of the Light Race?”
Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but puff out his cheeks at his words.
Does this big tiger know how to talk? His family’s cub was so cute, where did it make people unhappy?
As for Jun Lu, he secretly used his spiritual power to observe his surroundings, looking for a way to escape. When he heard the big tiger’s comment, he only asked back perfunctorily, “Can’t you sense it?”
Despite his fusion with darkness, his bloodline was impossible to change in a short time, otherwise he wouldn’t have attracted so many magical beasts today.
“Tch.”
The big tiger pursed his mouth, he naturally had a sense, otherwise he would not have come over.
Just one of the Light Race ……
How could the cub of the Illustris Royal Family appear in the wild? And it had been observing for a long time, this cub did not have a guardian around it except for that strange pacifier.
As for that wind wolf, it did not pay any attention to it.
“Oh, I understand.”
The big tiger looked at his tattered clothes and said in a flash, “Because you’re a deformed species, you were abandoned, right?”
Thinking about the little cub’s blackened original form, it felt that it had guessed it.
This was very common among the magical beasts where things were competitive and the deformed species were difficult to raise. Most magical beasts would not waste food for nothing in return.
Just did not expect that… the Light Race was also like this?
Its words caused Jun Lu’s red eyes to narrow slightly.
It seemed that the news of the coup in the Imperial City had not spread throughout the entire Illustris Star, and at least some of the intelligent races among the magical beasts were still unaware of what had happened.
Then, perhaps he could ……
He didn’t answer, and the big tiger took it as his default.
“Tsk, how pitiful.”
The big tiger shook his head, “Don’t worry, I won’t discriminate against you. It’s hard for you to survive in this wilderness anyway.”
Jun Lu’s heart fluttered, “So I can go?”
“That’s not possible.”
Suddenly, the big tiger’s long tail, without warning, flung towards Jun Lu!
Crap!
Yu Xingqiao watched as the pacifier fell into the dark and dense forest and disappeared all of a sudden, and couldn’t help but be shocked——
This big tiger couldn’t have done this intentionally, right?
