Not far from the tiger tribe, there is a vast forest, the Forest of Death.

The place where all animals die, the Pit of Ten Thousand Beasts, is hidden in the center of the forest.

The vegetation in the Death Forest is lush and almost crazy. Every inch of land is occupied by various strange-shaped plants. There are many kinds of creatures. They reproduce and thrive here, and naturally follow the jungle law of the survival of the fittest.

However, for those orcs in the tiger tribe whose bloodline has not yet awakened, the Death Forest is a dangerous and forbidden place.

When they usually hunt, they can only linger cautiously near the edge of the forest. The deeper into the forest, the higher the level of the prey, and the more dangerous it is. If an orc who has not awakened his bloodline rashly steps into the depths of the forest, it is simply seeking death.

"Li, I'm sorry, we can't disobey the order of the clan leader. We brothers owe you two lives," the two men said with guilt as they stuffed the dried meat wrapped in fur behind them to Li.

Li forgot that the two people's backs were getting farther and farther away, his eyes drooped, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

At this time, his body was injured and his self-protection mechanism was activated. Li's body began to grow larger and gradually turned into a white tiger. He lay on the ground without any embarrassment. Suddenly, his nose moved, as if he smelled a good smell.

At this time, the outside world has entered late autumn. The cold wind is bleak, and the withered and yellow leaves are shivering in the wind, creating a scene of decay.

But the Death Forest is like an independent world under a spell, completely unaffected by the seasons. The trees here are lush and green, and every leaf is bright green, full of vigorous vitality, without any sign of yellowing or withering.

It had just rained, and a thin layer of mist filled the forest.

Coo~ The calls of unknown birds came from all directions, echoing in the silent environment, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.

The water droplets fell from great height with a plop, following the huge leaves that blocked out the sun, and landed squarely on the long eyelashes of the little cub curled up under the tree.

The little cub's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes in confusion. His gray eyes were like a lake covered by fog, full of confusion and anxiety, and he slowly looked around at the unfamiliar environment. A trace of panic that was difficult to conceal flashed across the pupils of the slow-witted little cub.

His little face was stained with black, dried stains, and no one knew what they were. He was wearing a loose men's shirt that didn't fit him well, and underneath it were his thin, skinny, dirty legs. His bare feet were standing on the soft ground covered with thick leaves.

Because the trees blocked out the sun, it was difficult for the sunlight to penetrate through the layers of branches and leaves. The place where Yu Mumu was seemed particularly gloomy, as if it was swallowed by darkness.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi." Yu Mumu clenched his fists nervously, calling the name of the little light ball in his mind. Since coming here inexplicably, Yu Mumu felt that his body, which was originally as heavy as if filled with lead, had become lighter, and his slow brain began to work slowly. At the moment when he lost consciousness for the last time, he seemed to see a stumbling little ball flying towards him.

In a daze, he seemed to hear it say its name was Xiao Qi. So Yu Mumu called out tentatively.

"Hey! Baby, I'm here, I'm here." A small, sparkling ball of light fell from the tree with a snap, landing right in Yu Mumu's arms. Yu Mumu subconsciously stretched out her little hand and held the small ball of light tightly in her arms.

The little light ball felt soft and bouncy to the touch, and it was warm, just like the sun in winter. Yu Mumu couldn't help but hug it tighter, as if she could hold on to this hard-earned warmth.

"Where are we?" 8517 looked at the gloomy scene around him and was a little confused for a moment. This familiar scene full of vigorous vitality,

8517 had the illusion that he was back to the first time he did a mission. At that time, he was also short of energy and teleported the cub to a dangerous forest. Fortunately, the cub's parents came quickly, otherwise he would have to take the cub to a new world.

Later, in order to avoid such mistakes from happening again, 8517 returned to the main system space and made a comprehensive upgrade of its functions, especially the matching and positioning function. But now, how could this happen again?

Could it be that the little cub's parents live here, so the main system chose this place as Yu Mumu's landing anchor point? Thinking of this, 8517 flapped its wings neatly in the next second and nodded in the air. An inorganic electronic sound rang in Yu Mumu's ears:

"System scanning, please wait!"

"No humans matching the criteria were found! Do you want to expand the scan range? Start scanning again."

"We found a number of unknown creatures, but no humans with the same appearance as the cubs were found."

8517 has expanded the scanning range to within 8517 miles around, but there is no one who meets the requirements, let alone Yu Mumu's parents. This really makes wonder where the main system has sent them, Mumu.

8517 looked at the well-behaved baby in his arms with a distressed look. The baby secretly looked down at him, and when he noticed that he was looking at him, he pursed his lips and looked away as if nothing had happened, but the little hand holding 8517 involuntarily tightened.

Seeing such a well-behaved cub, 8517 felt distressed. He comforted Yu Mumu: "Don't be afraid, cub! Maybe my system has failed again, and sent the cub to such a weird place. But don't worry, cub, Xiaoqi will find out the reason immediately, and will definitely match the cub with a loving parent as soon as possible." 8517 promised Yu Mumu seriously.

"Oh! Okay." Yu Mumu responded obediently.

In a corner where no one could notice, the little ears of the cub hidden under its black hair turned red, and his little feet stomped twice happily and calmly, and the leaves he stepped on made a slight crackling sound.

Yu Mumu had lived alone for a long time, and this was the first time that something spoke to him gently. From its voice, Yu Mumu could truly feel the kindness. Yu Mumu, who had never felt kindness before, felt a different kind of bitterness in his empty chest for the first time.

A trace of desire flashed in his gray pupils. He wished that this round and beautiful little ball with small wings could always be his.

He wanted to hide it, only by hiding it would it not be taken away by others.

But where could he put it? Thinking of the things that had been taken away before, Yu Mumu's arms tightened even more.

However, 8517, who was muttering to himself, did not notice that for a moment, the gloomy mood emanating from the well-behaved little cub made the creatures that were originally howling around suddenly quiet down as if they felt some fatal threat, and the whole forest fell into dead silence.
