The grass shook so violently that the cheetah had no time to hiss before the shadow tentacles crawled up the back of its neck and tightly bound its mouth.

Another tentacle strangled its neck. 

“Oooooooooo ……”

A painful wail came from the bottom of its throat, yet, it couldn’t struggle even if it wanted to – its four limbs were firmly bound by its own shadow and it couldn’t move.

 

AD

 

 

“Zi la la——Zi la la——”

A burst of lightning began to flash on the cheetah’s body. 

With the power of lightning, he finally broke free of some of the shadows, however, suffocation led to lack of oxygen to the brain and his body gradually became weak and soft.

 

The force of its struggle became smaller.

As the lightning faded, the cheetah’s breath gradually grew weaker until it disappeared.

The tentacles that bound it slowly retracted.

 

Yu Xingqiao pulled his perspective back to this scene and saw the great strength of the little black ball.

“Wow, the cub is awesome!”

The level of freedom in this game was really high. It seemed like all kinds of situations can happen at any time, and the cub will instantly have different reactions, so there was absolutely no need for him to watch all the time.

Very worry-free. 

[Ding~ The cub has successfully killed Lightning Cheetah x1, gaining Source Power +2]

[Source power: 2/10]

[Trigger serial task: Hunting and Anti-hunting]

Description: The flesh and blood of the Light Race is a polymer of high-grade energy that can lead to the evolutionary advancement of magical beasts and plants, and is an essential material for many legendary potions. 

The cub cannot hide his scent, constantly attracting countless magical beasts and plants which hunt after it.

Quest content: Kill the hunting beasts and plants.
Quest reward: For each hunter you kill, you will randomly receive 1~5 points of source power.
Note: The source power value obtained from the mission is not limited by the source power cap.

Yu Xingqiao looked at this side quest and finally understood why those wolves drooled the moment they saw his family’s cub last night .

Even now, back in the wolf pack, there were still many wolves looking at the little black ball with greed in their eyes, but with Arashi’s restraint, at least no wolf dared to attack his cub. 

Images of a cavern under the moonlight appeared in front of his eyes; the scene where the scarred little boy covered his mouth while blood spilled from his fingers.

Could this be the reason he was so badly wounded? And right, there was also those people who were chasing him ……

 

Those people weren’t trying to capture his family cub back for experiments, right? Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but have a big brain moment.

Sigh, the cub had to deal with persecution, hunger and serious injuries at such a young age, but he hasn’t cried nor made a fuss. He really is a strong child. 

Yu Xingqiao looked into the little black ball’s eyes. For a moment, he felt pity and affection for it.

The game plot continued.

The lightning released by the lightning cheetah before it died still drew the attention of the wolves.

The battle to challenge the wolf king had come to an end, and noticing the commotion over here, Arashi rushed over at the first opportunity. 

He shielded the little black ball behind him, and his turquoise eyes vigilantly stared at the cheetah in the grass as well as towards the deeper part of the grassland.

He could sense that the danger wasn’t completely over.

“Are you all right?”

The calm and introspective voice of a young uncle sounded again. Although he couldn’t understand it, looking at the chat bubble, Yu Xingqiao still understood the meaning of the words.

Huh, wait ……

He saw a chat bubble pop up on top of the little black ball’s head, and the text in the bubble was no longer “Bo Ji Bo Ji”, but—— 

“No harm done.”

Wow, there’s actually a translation!

 

Yu Xingqiao looked at the serious little black ball, obviously his voice was soft, but the words came out cool instead.

Want to give a poke. 

Yu Xingqiao thought so and so he did.

So, once again, Jun Lu felt that his “demon” master …… was poking him in the face again.

He sighed helplessly and said a word in his heart.

This time, looking closely, Yu Xingqiao found that although his finger was poking the screen, there seemed to be a slight dent in place he was poking at on the small black ball. 

When he withdrew his hand, the depression rebounded back, and with a ton-ton it jumped twice.

It looked Q-bomb Q-bomb, meng as hell.

Yu Xingqiao immediately felt playful, wanting to give another a poke, only to see the system box appear.

[Cub say to you: “Master, please wait a moment.”] 

Yu Xingqiao blinked. Is little Jun Lu talking to me? What do you mean? Could it be that ……

“Little Jun Lu knows that I’m poking him?”

[Of course, this game has the most advanced instant interaction system~]

Actually so intelligent? 

Yu Xingqiao hastily retracted his fingers, somewhat guilty.

Don’t know if it was his illusion, but when he looked at the little black ball, obviously without any facial expressions, he seemed to feel his helplessness.

Yu Xingqiao made the  expression, not daring to disturb him again.

“Bo Ji Bo Ji——” 

At this time, the little black ball began to speak again.

“Arashi.” He lightly called out to the giant wolf.

 

Arashi had his back to him and was on full alert. At this moment, his ears twitched and he turned around to crouch down in front of the little black ball and asked respectfully, “Master, what are your orders?”

“I’m leaving here soon.” 

Jun Lu said indifferently, “Whether you want to leave with me, or stay, make a choice.”

The little black ball cried Bo Ji Bo Ji several times, and the chat bubble translated his words synchronously.

Yu Xingqiao tilted his head. Leave? Where was Little Jun Lu going to go?

Arashi was the new Wind Wolf King, it was his responsibility to protect the wolves. If he left, wouldn’t he have to give up his status as the wolf king? 

So, Arashi should choose to stay, right? Yu Xingqiao thought.

Even Jun Lu thought the same thing.

He didn’t need a partner.

He had helped Arashi advance, and Arashi had given him energy back and helped him avoid his pursuers for the time being, allowing him to have a moment of respite. It was a fair trade. 

Now, with his use of shadow power, he could basically defend himself in the wilderness as long as he didn’t encounter overly powerful magical beasts.

Saer’s men would always have a way to catch up. They still didn’t know that he was reverted to his infant state, and he could not reveal this.

He couldn’t hide his scent, and with Saer’s means, he would realise this. Afterwards, Saer could adjust the strategy and track him through the help of magical beasts, then, it would be more difficult trying to escape.

So he couldn’t stay in one place for too long. 

The giant wolf looked at Jun Lu and then looked at the clansmen not far away, like it was pondering.

After a long time, it made a decision.

It stood up, left the small hill where Jun Lu was, and walked towards the wolf pack.

The disobedient ones had been defeated, and the remaining wolf pack, all of whom were willing to accept Arashi, looked at the new leader with eager eyes. 

“Awoo——”

The wolves of the pack gave a long howl loudly, greeting their king.

 

Jun Lu looked at this scene, as if he saw himself in the past, but all that warm and fuzzy past had been shattered like a dream.

Now, he had to walk the road of revenge alone. 

The darkness that wrapped around him tumbled up again, only to suddenly stop before it had a chance to spread.

Feeling like a hand had gently pressed on his head, patting him as if to comfort him.

Jun Lu froze slightly.

The master was not angry? He was ready to let go of the pet he had contracted for him…… 

The gentle caress on the top of his head again made the uneasiness in his heart disappear, replaced by a strange sense of stability.

It had been a long time since he had experienced such an emotion.

Perhaps, he couldn’t be considered to be alone.

He also had a “demon” master, although they can sometimes be a little mischievous. 

Yu Xingqiao stroked little Jun Lu’s head, feeling that he must be very sad now. He finally made a friend with much difficulty and now he has to be separated.

As for whether to force Arashi to stay? He didn’t feel it was ducking necessary.

Forcefully twisted melon is not going to be sweet, not to mention that Arashi did have his responsibilities. Anyway, little Jun Lu still had him, he would certainly take good care of him!

Arashi walked step by step towards the wolf pack, only to finally stop at the edge. 

An amazing aura emanated from him, and then enveloped the entire wolf pack.

What’s happening?

Yu Xingqiao was attracted by this change of events

[Arashi released all of the Wind Wolf King’s power and gave it back to the wolves.] 

[The power of the Wolf King is only possessed by the chief of the wolf clan. After releasing all of it, Arashi will lose his position as the Wind Wolf King.]

“Awooo——”

 

Arashi looked up to the sky and howled, a silver-white seal surfaced on its brow, then his body slowly shrunk, and finally changed back to the petite size of last night.

[Pet [Arashi] voluntarily gives up the title of Wind Wolf King, full attribute -10] 

[You witnessed the rise and fall of a generation of Wind Wolf King together with the cub, +1 experience]

The wolves looked at Arashi in confusion and disbelief.

Arashi took a long look at them for the last time, then turned around without a second thought and came to the little black ball with light footsteps.

“Master, let’s go.” 

It was still the same steady and introverted young uncle’s voice that gave off a sense of security when first heard.

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but grin, seeing that the little black ball was still standing still on the small hill, he couldn’t help but stretch out his finger and poke him in the back.

Only then did the little black ball react.

“Bo Ji Bo Ji ——” 

The translation duly followed up, “Don’t you regret it.”

“No regrets.” Arashi squatted down in front of him, looking at him with a determined expression.

Jun Lu looked at its turquoise eyes and finally let go.

“I hope so.” 

He jumped on Arashi’s back and said, “Let’s go, head east.”

“Yes, master!”

Arashi didn’t look at the wolves again as it followed Jun Lu’s instructions and ran towards the place where the sun rose in the east.

[Ding~ Cub [Jun Lu] Blacken Value -5] 

[Please keep up the good work!]

“Haha—— too awesome!”

 

Yu Xingqiao saw the good news and was so happy that he couldn’t help but stir up the quilt.

The youth’s pale face was tinged with a touch of red from excitement, and the dimples around his mouth sank slightly, like it was brewing honey. 

But soon, he remembered another important thing.

“Oops, almost forgot!”

He hurriedly opened his backpack to operate it.

Jun Lu sat on the back of the wolf and was feeling the fresh breeze that came in front of him, then he saw in front of him, suddenly out of nowhere, a—— 

Milk bottle.
