Chapter 23

Views:

When Jun Lu woke up, it was already the next morning.

The storm stopped at some point, and the sky was bright.

The moment he woke up, the cradle seemed to sense something, and the originally dark interior environment gradually lit up with a warm yellow gleam.

Enough to see without dazzling.

Jun Lu was at a loss for a moment, and his memory surged, and he quickly regained his sobriety.

How could he have slept for so long

For him who has been in a state of escape for a long time, deep sleep is an impossible thing. It is just a full state of mind, but it reminds him that this is a fact.

Jun Lu didn't go out immediately, but extended his mental power.

People outside cannot spy on the inside of the cradle, nor can they destroy the cradle from the outside. It is safe for him to stay inside, but it cannot be ruled out that there are people waiting outside.

After a night of rain, the grassland was filled with water vapor, and everywhere was wet. When it was exposed to the sun, it became foggy. Only the circle of land under the umbrella was dry and clean.

Jun Lu first "saw" Lan.

The silver wind wolf crouched under the umbrella, raising its head to be vigilant. It is unknown how long it has been guarding here.

He obviously sent it to that unknown space...

It should be the master.

Lan is a pet contracted by the master for him, that space may have been created by the master, and the master will naturally have a way to let it out.

Jun Lv suddenly paused.

He saw the short-haired woman leaning against the stone. She was covered in mud, as if she had rolled in the mud, she was asleep with her eyes closed, and a brand new blanket was covering her body.

He frowned slightly, and his mental power spread out.

On the grass, the body of the long-tongued monitor lizard was still lying there. After soaking in the rain all night, its body was a little white and swollen. There were also car marks and marks left by the battle on the ground.

Jun Lu thought for a while, withdrew his mental power, and slowly transformed into a human form.

The inside of the cradle is not as small as it looks from the outside, after he transforms into a human form, the space is still very spacious.

The little hand picked up the pacifier next to it, hesitated for a moment, and stuffed it into his mouth. While sucking, he lifted the gauze over the cradle and jumped out.

Hearing the movement, Lan immediately looked over.

Seeing the little boy sucking on the pacifier and landing on the ground with a cool face, the white wolf's big tail shook happily.

"Master, you are awake!"

Jun Lu nodded and looked at the cradle next to him.

Covered by mental power, the cradle silently sank into the shadows on the ground, and disappeared without a sound as if it had never appeared before.

Only then did he look away, and glanced at the short-haired woman leaning against the stone.

Lan said, "It was the Great Master who saved her."

Master

Jun Lu froze for a moment, and quickly realized that it was talking about his "demon" master.

In fact, looking at the blanket on the woman's body, it's easy to guess, but...

Why did the master save her

Is there anything special about her

Laura's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

She actually woke up for a while, but her body was still very weak, so she leaned against the stone and closed her eyes to rest her mind. She listened carefully when there were very light footsteps around her.

Then she heard a young man's voice.

He said that it was the big master who saved her.

Laura recalled how the two monitor lizards chasing her last night suddenly rolled in the mud.

Then, she felt a gaze.

The gaze was too intense for Laura to pretend.

She had to gently open her eyes.

What came into view was a little boy about three or four years old. This was the first time Laura saw such a good-looking child.

He was dressed exquisitely and beautifully, his body was clean and not stained with dust. If she met him in a human city, she would definitely think that he was a spoiled young man from a noble family.

Yet this is in the wild.

And he also has a magical umbrella. In such a dangerous place, he even sleeps in a cradle, guarded by a talking silver wolf.

Most importantly, there is also the "big master" who has never shown up.

That should be the parent of the little boy, right

Laura was a little dazed.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the little boy squinting his eyes slightly, looking her up and down, his blood-red pupils gleamed with scrutiny and dislike.

Laura's heart skipped a beat.

"You... hello..." she took the initiative to speak.

The little boy ignored her, snorted softly, sucked on his pacifier, and walked out to the grass.

Laura didn't dare to make a sound. She could feel the little boy's dislike for her. Although she didn't understand why, she had better not provoke him in the current situation.

Jun Lu ignored the human woman.

Humans and monsters are the same to him now, and what's more, he hates humans even more.

Because Thrall is human.

He walks on the grass.

It rained all night, and the grass was slippery and muddy, and it was easy to splash the muddy water. However, until he came to the side of the two monitor lizard corpses, not a drop of mud splashed on his trouser legs, and even his shoes were as clean as new.

If you look closely, you will find a black shadow that has been attached to the sole of his shoe.

Rather than saying that he is walking on the grass, it is better to say that he is walking on his own shadow.

This is another usage of shadow stealth that he just figured out.

He didn't completely sink himself into the world of shadows, but only controlled a small layer of the soles of his shoes, stepping on top of the shadows.

In this way, on the one hand, you can train anytime and anywhere to improve your skill proficiency, and on the other hand, you can also keep your clothes clean—

This is the clothes given to him by the master, how can it be stained by mud and water

Jun Lu carefully looked at the traces of the fight, and roughly restored the scene in his mind.

The two giant lizards were killed by cutting their belly and piercing their hearts with sharp blades, and the energy of human martial arts still remained on them, presumably it was the human woman who did it.

So why on earth did the master save her? This martial arts aura is nothing special.

The little boy pursed his lips, his handsome face was as cold as if it had been covered with frost.

The morning light is getting brighter and brighter, illuminating something on the ground.

Jun Lu looked over, rolled the thing with the shadow tentacles, and found that it was a dagger.

What he lacks most now is strong offensive skills. Before comprehending new skills, this dagger is a good substitute, but unfortunately it is not particularly sharp.

If it was in the past, he would definitely have looked down on such weapons, but now he has no conditions to pick three or four.

Looking at the mud stained on the dagger, Jun Lu frowned, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He rolled it with the shadow tentacles, stretched out another tentacles, rolled up a monitor lizard, and dragged it back to the umbrella.

Looking at the dry and clean ground, Jun Lu looked up at the umbrella above his head. Although he knew that the owner had a lot of weird props, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw this umbrella.

Seeing the little boy coming to her, Laura couldn't help propping up her frail body, and gave the little boy a pale smile.

She had been watching him just now.

At first, she was only attracted by his movements, and she couldn't see the details clearly when she was far away. Then, she saw something black like a living thing sticking out from under his feet. She was a little frightened even though she had a lot of experience. .

Then, an adult monitor lizard was dragged back by a three or four-year-old boy with its black tentacles, which gave her an inexplicable shock.

What's more, she even found that the little boy's cute brown round-toed leather shoes were not stained at all after walking back from the muddy grass.

Still not stained with dust, clean as new.

Laura's heart was full of awe, seeing him walking towards her, she didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.

However, the little boy put the monitor lizard down, and then the black tentacles reached out to her, frightening her so that she froze and did not dare to move.

However, the target of the tentacles was not her, but the blanket covering her body.

The tentacles pulled the blanket over, wrapped it around the dagger she had dropped, and wiped it gently.

Finally, after the dagger was polished until it was shiny, the tentacles wrapped around the blanket and swung the new blanket onto her lap again.

In fact, she rolled in the mud last night and was dirty, and the blanket was dirty too, and Laura didn't mind much.

that is…

The little boy seemed to really dislike her, and never looked at her from beginning to end.

Laura didn't dare to provoke him either.

In such a dangerous wilderness, she was abandoned by her companions, so she could only hold on to this life-saving straw.

Jun Lu glanced at this human woman with his mental power, and saw that she was quite interesting, so he ignored her. Anyway, the master must have a reason for doing so.

He looked at Lan beside him.

"Let's eat."

His voice was muffled by sucking on a pacifier, but Rand understood him.

It looked at the carcass of the monitor lizard.

The magic beast that hunted yesterday dug up the magic spar and threw it away. Now its breakfast is only this long-tongue monitor lizard.

Lan walked over and sniffed the monitor lizard's belly.

After being soaked in rainwater, the giant lizard was a little swollen, but it was still fresh. Just when Lan was about to eat it, he heard a woman's voice.

"Wait a minute."

Lan couldn't help but pause, and turned to look at the human woman.

Jun Lu also looked over, a pair of blood-colored red pupils, cold and cold, giving people a sense of alienation that is inaccessible.

Laura was a little apprehensive, but she still forced herself to calm down and said, "How about... let me deal with it for you? Some parts of the long-tongue monitor lizard are poisonous."

"Although the toxicity is not strong, it will cause short-term nerve paralysis, which makes me feel very uncomfortable..."

Jun law meal.

He knew about the long-tongued monitor lizard, but he didn't recognize the monitor lizard in such a miserable state of death.

Lan heard Laura's words and turned to look at Junlu.

Jun Lu pursed his lips, considering that Lan would be needed to assist in the battle later, and its combat effectiveness must be guaranteed, so he turned his face away and acquiesced to Laura's volunteering.

Laura quickly supported her body.

She is a martial artist, and her physical fitness is not weak. It was just that she was exposed to the rain and wind all night, which made her feel a little weak. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever. Otherwise, under such conditions, she would really have to wait to die.

Laura was very witty, and instead of going to Jun Lu to get back her dagger, she pulled out another dagger from her back. This one was smaller but sharper.

She cut the monitor lizard's skin and bones, and cut off pieces of fat and tender meat.

Without a plate, she put it on the stone first, because the stone surface looked clean after being washed by the rain.

Lan squatted aside watching, couldn't help swallowing.

It is still in the evolution stage, and consumes a huge amount of energy every day. It has basically digested what it ate yesterday, and it is now hungry.

It's just that it squatted in place very neatly, and immediately moved forward without rushing.

Evolution has significantly improved its intelligence. Although it has not received education and training, it instinctively knows what kind of behavior it should maintain at this moment.

Laura handled the monitor lizard deftly.

She has been in the wild all year round, and she is very proficient in these basic survival skills. She can even be distracted and observe the little boy out of the corner of her eye.

The little boy is three or four years old, if you ignore those bloody eyes, he actually looks very sweet, especially since he is still sucking his pacifier all the time, sitting quietly on the stone, his milk is so cute, it can arouse other people's motherhood .

But Laura knew very well that the little boy was not as harmless as he looked.

Jun Lu turned his head slightly, and looked over with cool eyes.

Laura hurriedly narrowed her eyes, concentrated on handling the monitor lizard meat, and then prepared to pick up some dead branches to light the fire.

"Fire?" Lan tilted her head.

Laura's heart trembled when she heard Lan's words. It was the first time for her to face a talking monster.

"Yes, Master Lan, the meat will taste better when it is roasted."

Lan thought for a while and said, "Back back a little."

Laura didn't know why, but obediently stepped back a few steps, then watched Lan approaching the stone, lowered her head slightly, and pointed the long horns of her forehead to the monitor lizard flesh on the stone.

"Zi la la - zil la la -"

Suddenly, a burst of lightning shot out from the sharp horn and landed on the monitor lizard's flesh.

The lightning was not so violent that it wouldn't crush the stone, but it flowed between the pieces of meat. After a while, amidst a soft sizzling sound, the smell of meat wafted out.

Laura's eyes widened as she watched this scene.

How can you even barbecue like this!

Jun Lu's eyes were also attracted, his attention was not on the meat, but on Lan's ability to control the thunder and lightning.

Opening and closing is naturally powerful, but the control of subtleties reflects one's own understanding of power. This is something that requires a lot of talent.

Lan really has good qualifications, so it's no wonder that he was favored by the master and made a contract for them.

But... what about this human woman

Why did the master save her

The little boy pursed his lips, watching the woman find a clean large blade of grass, and brought the piece of meat to him.

"Little... little boy, do you want to have a taste?"

Laura didn't know what to call this child. It was inappropriate to call him Mr. Master. Although it was respectful to call him Young Master, she was not his servant. She could only learn what she had seen in movies and TV dramas, and call her a gentleman.

Jun Lu stared at her coldly, and then...

A baby bottle appeared in front of him with a bang.

"Victory!"

Yu Xingqiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the female voice from the system shout out the victory slogan.

Once he played the game, he couldn't stop. He played from morning to afternoon, took a few breaks in between, and was called back to continue the game as soon as he came back.

Yu Xingqiao has no friends in real life, so he cherishes the few good friends he met online, and he can't bear to refuse their invitations.

"Let's do another round, this one is for a quick pass." In the voice channel, the captain who originally invited Yu Xingqiao to join the team said.

Yu Xingqiao glanced at the time, wondering: "I won't play, you guys continue..."

"Isn't there still ten minutes?"

"That's right, ten minutes is enough to play a round. If you can't finish the game, just hang up, and the brothers will take you to fly!"

Yu Xingqiao's heart warmed and he couldn't help laughing.

"Forget it, let's play, I'm going to breastfeed."

"???"

Four black question mark faces behind the screen.

However, after Yu Xingqiao finished speaking, he was afraid that they would persuade them to stay, so he ran away quickly, completely unaware of the misunderstanding he had caused.

After downloading the game, open the "Miracle Cubs" app.

Based on the time, it should be morning in the game. With the cradle and Lan guarding it, there should be no problem, right

Sure enough, as the game entered, the phone screen gradually lit up.

The sky was already bright, clear and cloudless, and the blue color seemed to have been washed by water. Just looking at the picture, my mood brightened a lot.

Looking at the game again, Zai Zai has already woken up and turned into a human form.

He is sitting on the highest stone.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a little boy wearing a white shirt and shorts with suspenders, a pair of small feet drooping from the stone, his pink cheeks are slightly bulging.

The little doll was sucking on the pacifier, but still had a cool iceberg face.

Yu Xingqiao's heart was about to melt. Just as he wanted to rua Zai Zai's little head, he heard a strange noise from the player.

He adjusted the camera somewhat vigilantly.

On the grass at the side, the female NPC he rescued in the morning was squatting on the ground to take care of the monitor lizard, while Lan was watching from the side.

The cradle he gave Zai Zai to sleep in yesterday has disappeared.

Yu Xingqiao blinked, opened Zai Zai's diary and looked at it.

It turned out that the cradle was taken into the shadow cage by Zai Zai, and this monitor lizard was dragged back by him for breakfast for Lan, and Laura offered to help with cooking.

[Sheltered from the Rain] and [Seeing the Rough Road] Two side quests have also been completed, a total of 200 gold coins, two lucky draws, a short knife, and the progress of the main quest +0.1%.

Ah, the main mission has finally started!

It's really not easy.

Yu Xingqiao sighed, and then started making milk powder.

"Little... little boy, do you want to have a taste?"

After Yu Xingqiao prepared the milk powder and turned off the cooking interface, he saw Laura holding the meat slices in front of Zai Zai and asking Zai Zai if he wanted to eat.

Zai Zai is so small, can he eat meat

Suddenly, the appearance of the long-tongue monitor lizard appeared in front of his eyes, and Yu Xingqiao couldn't help but tremble.

no!

That lizard looks so ugly, there must be a lot of bacteria on it, and the cubs will get sick if they eat it.

Yu Xingqiao quickly moved the bottle to Zai Zai, and clicked to use it.

Thus, the hot milk bottle exuding the fragrance of milk appeared in front of Jun Lu.

Junlu: "..."

There was a crack in the expression of the little boy who had an iceberg face.

Although he tried his best to maintain his composure, Laura, standing in front of him and watching him carefully, could still see the change in his mood.

What's more, there is still a blush creeping up his jade white ears.

Laura looked at him, then at the feeding bottle that appeared out of nowhere, feeling her heart beating faster.

It was the "big master" who saved her!

For this existence, Laura's heart is full of gratitude and awe. If he hadn't rescued her, she must have been dragged back to the cave by the two giant lizards last night to become a food reserve.

Now... is the "big master" back

"Then... I'd better eat this by myself."

Laura said docilely to the air, then put the meat away, hid aside and ate it by herself.

Jun Lu watched her walk away, speechless for a while.

In fact, he doesn't mind tasting a little bit of meat... Why can't she stick to it

Looking at the milk bottle, Jun Lu sighed helplessly, and stretched out his small hand to hug the bottle of milk.

The warm milk bottle is pressed against the palm of the hand, and there is a warm feeling.

A softness that he didn't even notice, quietly emerged in his heart, and then quietly disappeared.

Jun Lu looked up at Lan, then at Laura, hesitated for a moment, jumped off the rock, and freed the cradle from the cage of shadows.

He grabbed the side of the cradle and tried to climb in, but he felt his whole body float up, and then, a gentle force came—

He was stuffed into a cradle.

Jun Lv pursed his lips tightly, knowing that the master was helping him, he felt a little hot.

The little boy's pink face had already turned red.

The moment he was covered by the light veil, he immediately turned back into the shape of a little black ball—he didn't trust Laura, so he didn't intend to show his fluff in front of her.

He pretended nothing happened just now, took off the pacifier nonchalantly, and held the bottle in his mouth.

As he sucked, he thought about what he was going to do today.

Well, the most urgent task is to recover from injuries and restore strength.

As for Sal...

Although not reconciled, but Jun Lv is very sensible, he is not an opponent at all now, fighting recklessly will only waste the opportunity, the correct way is to hide your strength and bide your time.

He still has to work hard to seize the time.

Suddenly, there was a stroking on the head, interrupting his train of thought.

Seeing the little guy hiding in the cradle, Yu Xingqiao knew that he was shy, so he helped him with a smirk, then manipulated the camera, and followed him into the cradle.

Watching him turn back into a little black ball and start eating neinei lukewarmly.

Compared with before, Zai Zai eats much slower, no longer gurgling, as if someone is chasing him behind, eating in a hurry.

Yu Xingqiao slightly bent his lips, with a smile in his eyes.

It seems that this cradle is still very useful. Although the shape is out of tune with the surroundings, at least there is a place for the cubs to eat with peace of mind.

He rested his chin on both hands, quietly watching Zai Zai sucking on the bottle.

It's so cute!

The boy couldn't help stretching out his hand again, and rubbed the top of Zai Zai's head, thinking in his heart—

He must ask his brother to help him customize a pillow of the same style as a small black ball, hehe, that must be very good rua.

But Jun Lu's heart felt a little strange.

He thought, at least the master's attention was on his side, and he didn't pay attention to the human woman.
