Now was a critical period.

He might be able to extract clues directly from the conversation between the big tiger and the cub, so he couldn’t miss it. 

But suddenly remembering something else, he asked, “By the way, that [Walk actively along the path of life] side quest of mine is considered completed, right?

“The cub got through the crisis by himself, how come the reward hasn’t been settled yet?”

 

 

It wasn’t like he took a shot at teaching the big tiger a lesson, so what kind of help was buying clothes? So of course, the cub solved the crisis by himself!

The system didn’t reply to him; it was probably having a temper tantrum again. 

Yu Xingqiao could only continue to stare at his phone.

 

On the game screen, little Jun Lu did not directly answer the big tiger’s question.

He just looked at it coolly and said, “What do you think?”

The big tiger’s eyes flickered a little.

 

The Light Race were royalty from birth, and it heard that the bloodline was extremely rare. It remembered that the flying bird had said that by this generation, only the king and his queen, as well as their only son, would be left in the royal family.

But the age between this cub in front of him and the Crown Prince’s didn’t match ah!

The year the Crown Prince was born, the King also made it known to the world, not only spreading it among the humans, but also having the messenger beast spread the good news to every corner of Illustris, so that all intelligent magical beasts would know about it.

The flying bird, who often told it stories, even went to the ceremony and came back to ragle it with the story, making it envious and jealous for a long time. 

The big tiger remembered clearly that that was already more than ten years ago.

Unless……

He was a little prince that was born afterwards, but because of certain concerns, was not known to the world?

The big tiger looked at the little boy’s black hair and red pupils, and instantly felt that he had guessed the truth. 

The Light Race were all blonde hair and golden pupils, or blonde hair and jade eyes, and filled with holiness. According to the words of the flying bird, they would emit a holy light at all times.

That image, compared with the little cub in front of it, was completely the difference between heaven and earth.

Although the cub said it was a disguise, the big tiger did not believe it at all.

“So …… you are the little prince?” 

Yu Xingqiao listened intently to the big tiger and watched as the translation was half shown in the bubble above its head, just a few last words away.

But then he heard a roar——

 

“Big brother, don’t let him fool you!”

The sudden roar made Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but rub his ears. 

It was a female voice, with a shrill voice.

Although the vocal performance was good, it was not exactly Yu Xingqiao’s favorite voice, and he couldn’t help but reach out and turn down the volume of the speaker, lest it be noisy again.

Then he continued to watch the game.

Because the voice was heard without seeing the person, a hint box surfaced at the bottom of the interface, showing the translation of the phrase just now. 

So it’s the big tiger’s younger sister who’s coming?

Why did she come out at this time? The translation was interrupted!

“System, what does ‘little prince’ mean?”

In the game screen, another tiger appeared.

This tiger was a bit more petite, jumping out of the woods, appearing in the same way that caught people off guard. 

“Lily, what brings you here?” The big tiger cocked its head.

The tiger named Lily stared at Jun Lu with an unfriendly expression and answered, “I just saw the fire, so I was uneasy and came out to take a look.”

“What’s to worry about?” The big tiger bristled. “By the way, what do you mean by being tricked?”

“Those humans who suddenly appeared recently are here to catch this little cub, they’re not his guardians at all!” 

Tiger Lily looked at Jun Lu, “Speak, who are you really? Why are you disguised as one of the Light? And why did you come here? Why are those humans trying to capture you?”

Jun Lu didn’t say a word, only his eyes grew colder and colder.

 

The big tiger was then a bit abashed, he pulled his sister with his tail and whispered: “Lily, did you not see the divine skill just now?”

“What divine skill? I didn’t see it.” 

Tiger Lily looked at Jun Lu with an arrogant expression.

“I feel an uncomfortable aura on you, if you don’t tell the truth, then don’t blame me for not being polite!”

She looked very strong, and as the words fell, multiple pairs of eyes lit up in the dark woods.

Different coloured lights shone beneath the moonlight, but there was not one without desire and greed. They howled, as if in response to the words of Tiger Lily. 

Yu Xingqiao’s scalp tingered after looking at this scene.

As the cub’s pacifier fell off, his aura could not be concealed, and it felt like more and more magical beasts had been drawn over.

Perhaps because of the pressure from these two high-ranking magical beasts, they did not swarm up, but as long as the big tiger let him go, Yu Xingqiao had no doubt that these magical beasts would definitely pounce on his family’s cub and tear him apart.

What else could the cub do to escape safely? 

Yu Xingqiao’s whole heart seized up. Should he lay down a hand to help him? At most, the mission would fail and he’d have to accept a little punishment.

“Roar——”

The big tiger roared in the direction of the forest, and those magical beasts suddenly quieted down.

Tiger Lily did not speak and instead looked to the right side of a large tree. 

“Rustle rustle——”

From the rustling leaves, a large purple-black spider hanging from a silk thread within the dense canopy slowly fell and jumped onto the ground.

Yu Xingqiao looked at the large spider and suddenly felt goose bumps springing up.

Ah, so disgusting! He was most afraid of these bugs! 

“Do you know this spider?” Tiger Lily asked.

“The Hallucinogenic Purple Spider.” A hint of gravity finally appeared on Jun Lu’s small face.

 

“That’s right, its poison can make the hardest-mouthed people talk.” Tiger Lily stared at Jun Lu. “As long as it bites you, you’ll tell the truth.”

Jun Lu looked at the purple spider and then at the big tiger. 

The big tiger’s ears drooped down and whispered, “Lily, would this be too much? If he is really one of the Light Race ……”

“There is an antidote anyway. When the time comes, give him the antidote, then just release him.”

Tiger Lily said indifferently, then looked at Jun Lu again, “How about it? Let it bite you once.”

Although it was a question, this tone did not give him a choice at all. 

Yu Xingqiao looked at the game screen and blood drained on his face. He was most afraid of bugs, especially the big spider that was creeping towards Jun Lu’s side.

The game was very detailed; every fine hair on the spider’s eight legs could be seen clearly, and even the horror of the compound eye and a pair of large pincer teeth.

This very impactful image made Yu Xingqiao absolutely terrified.

“Sorry, I refuse.” 

At this point, the small hoarse voice coming from the speaker suddenly calmed Yu Xingqiao down.

That’s right, the cub ……

The one who was really in danger is the cub, he couldn’t waste time being scared, he had to find a way to save him.

Thinking of something, Yu Xingqiao opened the system mall. 

“Refuse?” Tiger Lily smiled gently. “That isn’t up to you.”

As soon as her words fell, the Hallucinogenic Purple Spider fiercely increased its speed and pounced towards Jun Lu!

Yu Xingqiao quickly bought something and closed the mall interface. He saw a big spider yelling and rushing towards his face, he was so frightened that he couldn’t help covering his eyes.

But thinking of Jun Lu, he hurriedly opened his fingers again. 

However, the bloody scene he imagined did not happen——

Only the big spider and two tigers are in the picture, the little boy had disappeared.

 

Had he been eaten in one bite?

At the same time, the system box popped up. 

[Ding~ Cub successfully comprehended the intermediate skill [Shadow Dive]]

[Shadow Dive]

Description: Can travel between shadows, distance limited by skill level.

Yu Xingqiao froze, and hurriedly opened the cub’s log and scanned it. 

[Cub comprehended [Shadow Dive]]

[Hallucinogenic Purple Spider attacked]

[The cub used the skill [Shadow Dive Lv1] and successfully escaped the attack range of the Hallucinogenic Purple Spider]

Wow, the cub is truly awesome! 

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but cheer while a number appeared in the upper right corner of his game interface.

That was the distance between him and the cub.

The number kept increasing, signaling that the distance between him and Little Jun Lu was widening, and when the number exceeded 100, he would be pulled over.

“Roar——” 

The roar of two tigers rang out from the speaker as they began to chase in the direction of Jun Lu’s escape.

Yu Xingqiao had long looked at them with displeasure.

Seeing that they were going to chase, he couldn’t help but grunt and sneer as he opened his backpack and began to operate.

– 

A hundred meters away from a tree’s shadow, a small black ball suddenly silently jumped out.

The ball fell to the ground, ton ton bounced twice and landed in the shadows of the trees.

 

Jun Lu looked back to the woods, only to see a bright forest fire, two angry tigers roaring far away, and some magical beasts’ alarmed shouting.

Where did the fire come from? Was it that Fire Thunder Tiger …… No, it should be the master! 

It seemed that the master in the end still lent a hand……

He couldn’t say what he felt in his heart, a little disappointed, yet also a warm feeling of being protected at all times.

“Da-da-da-da——”

The sound of the footsteps of the magical beast running came, and Jun Lu hastily collected his thoughts and continued to dive into the shadows. 

He had just comprehended the skill [Shadow Dive], and his movement speed was not fast, but he was victorious in concealment, and it seemed to be difficult for the enemy to detect him.

The small black ball moved in the shadow world.

The surroundings were very dark, wanting to swallow him up completely. It felt suffocating.

He used to hate the darkness. No one of the Light Race would like the darkness. 

But now, he had become a part of the darkness ……

At last, Jun Lu finally shrugged off all the magical beasts.

He hid in the shadow of a stone, his black sphere contracting and expanding, like he was breathing violently.

The new skill had not been practised enough, the energy consumption was huge, it was good that he escaped by himself, although in the end …… his master still stepped in to help him …… 

Jun Lu steadied his breathing and sighed again.

It was a pity that he did not have time to find the pacifier sent to him by the master. Without that pacifier, he’d have to start hiding here and there again in the future.

And the half-eaten bottle ……

Well, did it mean he didn’t have to eat with a bottle in the future? 

Jun Lu’s feeling of regret and remorse suddenly stopped. Inexplicably, there was a trace of rejoice.

Then there was a soft “boing” sound.

 

The bottle that should have been left in the woods, just appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
