Chapter 37 - Escape From Danger


The lion cub’s father’s plan is not without evil.

The Anti-Monster Alliance had thought about causing injury and accident to the human child who was enrolling in the cub kindergarten and causing conflicts.

And the lion cub’s father’s plan is much more simple and crude. He will kill this human cub, then use Zhao Xixi’s parents’ identities as members of the Anti-Monster Alliance, turning the whole thing into the Anti-Monster Alliance’s madness: In order to provoke some conflict, they sent their daughter to enroll in the monster kindergarten and then killed their own daughter just to blame the monsters.

If he uses this trick well, the lethality is ten times that of the Anti-Monster Alliance, so the lion cub’s father feels it's necessary to do this.

The pangolin was full of contradictions when he looked at the human cub that he had anesthetized before, whose neck got strangled like that.

If he makes a move, it means that he wants to betray the Lion King.

All the monsters present did not notice the tiger cub. Although he was a saber-toothed tiger's descendant, he looked too inconspicuous. Not only did he lose his two iconic big teeth, but he was also still a cub. Whether it is a human cub or a monster cub, adult creatures will habitually ignore their abilities, as if this scene is their adult battlefield.

So when the Lion King pinched Zhao Xixi, a lightning bolt struck the Lion King. Although it wasn't as powerful as the lightning in nature, the pain it caused was enough for the Lion King to let go of his hand reflexively.

The Lion King originally lifted her up, so as soon as he reflexively let go of Zhao Xixi, who was nearly two meters away from the ground, she immediately fell down.

At this moment, an orange figure jumped up, bit the human cub's down jacket, jumped forward, and then rolled.

They only felt that the cub seemed to be a lot bigger. Originally, the tiger cub’s head was about the same size as Zhao Xixi's, but now that he opened his mouth, he could pick up Zhao Xixi.

The enlargement of a cub means processing the entire form to become an adult form, which takes time to change slowly under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, this little tiger has turned into a big tiger. The big one here does not refer to his adult form, but his size has enlarged directly.

The little tiger’s enlarged version was putting the human cub on the ground, and then he let out an angry howl. Although his body was magnified several times, his voice was still that of a juvenile tiger.

The Lion King looked at this scene in shock, and then he couldn't help but say, “Miracle! This is a miracle that belongs to the renewal of the world! I used to think that the saber-toothed tiger’s gene only contained the secret of the monster cub turning into a human.”

Indeed, there were legends in the history of monsters. Saying that there were monsters that could summon wind and rain, and there were also monsters that could summon thunder and lightning, but that's all just a legend. Monsters nowadays, after they sensed their own attributes, even if it was the rare lightning attribute, couldn't even use it to charge the phone.

But that blows just now! That was the hope of the monsters!

The other monsters took out the anesthesia needle guns and aimed at this enlarged version of the young saber-toothed tiger.

The Lion King ordered, “Catch him alive, but don't hurt him!”

Then a group of monsters started shooting, and at this moment, the little tiger's enlarged version was not easy to provoke. Once they got close, Tiger Cub's one foot was on the left and the other on the right, and he would attack the one who approached Zhao Xixi from any direction with lightning.

So in this way, he actually still has the upper hand.

At this moment, there were several cars driving in this direction, not far away. The tiger cub's golden eyes showed tension. Then he turned around, grabbed Zhao Xixi, and ran in the other direction.

The Lion King was watching from behind. He had been studying saber-toothed tigers for many years. Looking at this scene, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “After all, he is still a cub.”

Their expert researchers had revived the saber-toothed tigers through fossils. And at the same moment, they had speculated about the saber-toothed tigers’ extinction reasons: it was their short legs.

Because their legs were too short, they were not good at hunting for food. Their hunting targets were mainly large herbivores. At the end of the ice age period, the climate had warmed up, and the cold-tolerant large herbivores were extinct. Saber-toothed tigers did not have the agility to chase small animals. Back then, the animals had not thought about becoming humans, so a generation of overlords went extinct because of their short legs.

In this case, how could this saber-toothed tiger cub be able to outrun their car? Of course, they didn't need to change into their original form to chase after them.

The Lion King got into the car, full of confidence that he could catch up. Seeing the orange shadow that was getting closer and closer, the Lion King smiled more and more. And he said to the pangolin next to him, “They were extinct because their legs were not fast enough to sprint.”

The pangolin has been in a trance from earlier to the present. When he heard the Lion King’s words, he turned his head and saw the orange figure running wildly in front of him.

While sitting next to the Lion King, the pangolin didn't remind him that the tiger cub, whom he thought couldn't run fast with short legs, was, in fact, running almost as fast as their car.

The pangolin had a faint feeling that the saber-toothed tiger race might really not be able to run fast. But now the one running fast is Tiger Cub, who is the best friend of that human cub. Because he knew that if he didn't run faster, that human cub would die, and he would watch that human cub get killed.

His expression became more complicated. What on earth is he doing now?

He was catching an experimental product from the laboratory, but why were the two in front of him more like himself in his childhood?

One did nothing wrong, just like him. When he was a child, he even told his parents that humans also have good people.

The other group of people believed some monsters had been born as medicines, so they needed to dedicate their lives to helping that race.

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a dog barking from the distance. While they were hearing that barking sound in the distance, it wasn't long before they heard other dogs barking one after another, and it was becoming more and more clear, from far away to near.

The Lion King frowned and said, “What's going on? How can there be dogs in a place like this?”

As soon as he finished speaking, before his subordinates had time to answer him, he saw many dogs galloping towards this side, like thousands of troops in the distance.

The Lion King originally didn't have the slightest affection for this kind of creature that knelt and licked humans. And now, when seeing this scene, he directly ordered, “Don't avoid them.”

One can still see that these are all stray dogs. The reason they are stray dogs is nothing more than that humans have abandoned them and the authorities have not culled the dogs.

In the view of the Lion King, humans have directly killed these dogs, which is the best outcome for them. He doesn't know if these dogs will regret it before they die—regret that they once chose to kneel and lick humans and did not have the slightest desire to evolve into humans.

However, in the next minute, he saw the dogs rushing towards them, and suddenly, they hid on both sides. Then, every monster who was in the car that was moving at a speed of more than a hundred miles saw the big car that appeared behind the group of stray dogs. It was the car that originally escorted the stray dogs.

And this time, there was no need for the Lion King to give an order, and the few cars on the Lion King’s side immediately turned the steering wheels.

On the other side, while the tiger cub was grabbing Zhao Xixi in his mouth and panting heavily, he met a large group of dogs. His heart had tightened.

However, he didn’t expect that the large group of dogs would rush past him and move forward to the other side while barking.

Vaguely, he could feel their barking had a meaning: “The human baby is in danger! The human baby is in danger!”

Most of them were large dogs, and they rushed toward the car that was chasing the tiger cub without hesitation. Just like they were on those days in the past when strangers came to the house before they got abandoned.

The tiger cub had no time to explore more of the situation. He felt he was almost out of strength.

And at this moment, he saw a familiar figure. It was the husky who had bitten him before. The husky was standing at the intersection, looking at him.

The tiger cub miraculously understood that the other party was not hungry or wanted to trouble him either, and when the other party turned around and started running, he followed him.

The husky took the tiger cub along the path next to the highway. The tiger cub felt he could no longer maintain his current size, but if he returned to his original size, he could not carry Zhao Xixi away.

So he gritted his teeth and kept following.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long before the tiger cub heard a familiar voice: “That’s weird. Why did that dog lead us to go this way?”

It was Teacher Tao Hua’s voice.

The tiger cub felt his eyes go blank, and then he passed out.

When Zhao Xixi woke up, she was in a strange bed. She turned her head and saw a photo above her head, which was the photo of Teacher Tao Hua.

Zhao Xixi jumped out of bed just as Teacher Tao Hua opened the door and came in. Seeing that Zhao Xixi had woken up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, you have woken up.”

Zhao Xixi didn’t understand how she could see Teacher Tao Hua and then hurriedly asked, “Teacher Tao Hua, did you save us? Where’s the tiger cub? Where is he?”

Teacher Tao Hua felt she was not the one who saved them because she had just picked up the two cubs at that time. When she arrived, there were already two cubs, Tiger Cub and Little Xixi, who were lying unconscious there. After the doctor’s examination, they found that the tiger cub was exhausted and Zhao Xixi was unconscious because of drugs, but it was not a big deal.

Teacher Tao Hua patted Zhao Xixi's head and then said, “The tiger cub is very tired today. He is sleeping in the next room. Xixi, do you still remember what happened today?”

Although Zhao Xixi wanted to go to the next room to see the tiger cub, she still answered the teacher’s questions. She said, “I met two uncles. They said they wanted to cut off my fingers and catch the tiger cub for experiments. Also wanted to cut off Tiger Cub’s ears. Then the blonde uncle said that the people had skinned him when he was a child, and then… and then I don't remember.”

Although Zhao Xixi didn't speak clearly, Teacher Tao Hua had spent too much time with her, and she was already able to recognize her ghost-like drawings, so naturally she got used to her way of speaking.

Teacher Tao Hua estimated that they must have drugged Zhao Xixi at the most critical moment. So for the specific situation, she should have asked the tiger cub, who had not woken up yet.

“Teacher, please take me to see the tiger cub. I won't disturb him when he’s sleeping. I’ll just watch from the side and definitely not talk!”

Zhao Xixi still knew that she was a child who talked a lot.

Teacher Tao Hua thought for a while and realized that the two cubs must have been frightened. This is her home, and her family's ancestors are all here, so it's still very safe. Then she took Zhao Xixi to the next room.

Teacher Tao Hua found that the tiger cub hadn't woken up yet, and she still had things to deal with, so she left Zhao Xixi here.

Zhao Xixi looked at the little tiger who was sleeping under the quilt. This time she was really obedient and didn’t disturb the little tiger's sleep at all.

Then Zhao Xixi took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, got under the quilt, and slept next to the little tiger.

Zhao Xixi touched the little tiger's ear. Fortunately, the blonde uncle did not cut the little tiger's ears.

In fact, Zhao Xixi was very sleepy as well. She put her little hand on the little tiger's ear, then blinked her eyes and started to yawn again. She gently leaned her little head against the tiger cub's head and then fell asleep.
