Tiger Tribe X
"What are you doing?" Qi"s voice was slightly cold and his brows were furrowed.
"Don"t talk so loudly." Jiang Yu tiptoed out of the house and closed the door. He turned toward the house and shouted, "I"m going out to play!"
"Okay, don"t stay out too late!"
After his dad replied, Jiang Yu grabbed Qi"s arm and immediately started to run away.
But he hadn"t taken two steps yet when Qi, quite disgusted, shook off Jiang Yu"s hand. "What are you doing? Tell me now!!"
Jiang Yu looked at Qi strangely. "You already know what I want to do, or why else would you have come to find me?"
Qi"s face twisted, his expression freezing. "Then hurry up, the sooner we leave the sooner we"ll get back."
Jiang Yu unhappily thought, now what ruffled this guy"s feathers?
Looking at him, Jiang Yu really feels his teeth begin to itch, but when he thought about it more carefully he remembered that he was the one who asked for help. Therefore, he could only put a lid on his anger and get back at him later.
"Follow me, we need to get Mu, All three of us are going together."
Qi also knew that Mu was coming with them. Although his dad did not specify what the trip was for, he would protect Ah Yu because his father asked him to do so. The rest was none of his business.
Originally Qi thought that Ah Yu"s temper had improved, but apparently, he was still the same arrogant child who knew only how to make trouble for other people.
With this in mind, Qi disliked Jiang Yu even more, and the atmosphere between them became extremely acrimonious.
Jiang Yu was naturally aware of this, but really has no hope of finding a solution. This is not a good time to vent his feelings.
However, Jiang Yu secretly gritted his teeth. I have a lot of time in my life. Although you are the person Ya Qi likes, stop acting so arrogantly!
Because Qi is with him this time, Mu"s att.i.tude toward Jiang Yu is not particularly bad. He simply ignored him, but fortunately, nothing like the horrible slab of meat appeared again.
It is worth mentioning the other three people in Mu"s house when the two of them arrived.
"Are you really going to the forest together?" Aspen was extremely surprised and covered his face with sadness. "It"s all my fault for not making Mu stronger, otherwise he would be able to hunt by himself now, and you wouldn"t need to bring Qi to ensure your safety."
Aspen swallowed, looking extremely dejected and pitiful.
Originally Bo was very happy to see Mu and Qi together. After all, Qi was the most powerful young shapes.h.i.+fter in the tribe. He was just about to praise Mu when he heard Aspen"s words and his face went dark, and his eyes filled with dislike toward Mu.
And the cheap younger brother, Qiao, who was still eating, disdainfully glanced at Mu, too lazy to even say goodbye.
Jiang Yu saw their actions and had to stop himself from giving Aspen a clapping hand. This performance was exceptionally horrible.
A discerning person like him would notice immediately that Aspen is faking. His acting gave gooseb.u.mps. And Bo is very accommodating toward Aspen, following the script arranged by Aspen perfectly. Jiang Yu couldn"t think of anything else to do but turn his eyes away.
As he said, these two people are really a perfect match.
"Are we going or not?!" Watching Bo and Aspen"s performance, Mu"s eyes showed deep disgust, and he was impatient to leave.
Jiang Yu didn"t bother saying goodbye to Mu"s family and immediately left the miasmfilled room with Qi and Mu.
Even after he was out of the house, he could still hear Bo"s angry roaring and Aspen"s quiet weeping.
"You brat! Do you have any manners? Since you"re already outside, don"t come back!"
Mu lifted the corners of his mouth into a satirical sneer. Does the family of his so-called home really think that he wants to come back?
If it wasn"t for his own body, which gives him no way to resist them, he would certainly oblige these so-called family members!
Mu"s gaze was cold beyond comparison.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Don"t forget to memorize the road we"re taking. After all, Qi is only following us this time. Afterwards, it"ll be just me and you. Observe the environment, so that in the future we won"t walk into some beast"s mouth as lunch! " Jiang Yu said with contempt.
Mu turned his fierce gaze onto him, and his hands, which had been hanging loosely at his sides, clenched and dug deeply into the palms of his hands.
Jiang Yu"s heart almost stopped because of Mu"s frigid gaze, but not a trace of his fear showed on his face. He looked at Mu with disgust. "What are you looking at? Keep on staring and I"ll gouge out your eyes!"
On once again hearing such a familiar tone, Mu"s eyes filled with fiery anger.
He felt he was really naïve. Just because this arrogant female saved him from being kicked out of the tribe by telling the truth about their incident with the tree to the tribe, and wanted to give himself a dose of medicine, he had stupidly started to expect something better from this arrogant female.
He had even believed that Ah Yu was the only person in the whole tribe who cared about him!
What a sick joke!
The corners of Mu"s mouth lifted into the trace of a cold smile, and the temperature of his gaze fell to the freezing point.
All Ah Yu"s good intentions before were because he wouldn"t be able to bully him by if he was expelled from the tribe!
He did all of this just in order to humiliate and bully him even more.
Mu clenched his teeth tightly until his gums began to bleed. The pain flew straight to his mind.
He will get his revenge on all these people who bullied him one by one and return the humiliation he suffered.
Jiang Yu involuntarily s.h.i.+vered. Looking at Mu"s increasingly cold expression and suppressed hatred, Jiang Yu suddenly began to wonder if his method was correct or not. He wasn"t going to be murdered yet, was he?
He quietly comforted himself that his actions couldn"t be that bad.
Although Mu"s mood may be bad right now, as long he gets stronger, there should be no major problems.
Jiang Yu tried not to think about it.
"Stop staring at me and shapes.h.i.+ft already," Jiang Yu said with a nod of his chin. Because he was expecting it, this time he was able to disregard Mu"s murderous gaze. "Don"t dawdle, hurry up!"
Mu bit his teeth and buried the humiliation deep in his heart. He crouched down and shapes.h.i.+fted.
It was actually Jiang Yu"s first time seeing Mu"s animal form. Ah Yu did have a vague memory of Mu"s animal form, but it was vague and blurry.
Mu"s animal shape was a young white tiger. However, it isn"t very strong, and because of Mu"s weakness, it"s a little skinny and weak. But his white fur and smooth muscles are really very breathtaking.
And as a young shapes.h.i.+fter, his animal form is more endearing than an adult shapes.h.i.+fter"s.
Looking at Mu"s animal shape, Jiang Yu eyes immediately lit up, and his heartbeat skipped.
he"s …… so beautiful!
He had never seen such a beautiful animal form. Although it was slightly frail, the soft fur and muscle revealed a fascinating charm.
Jiang Yu felt that he really loved Mu"s animal form, and his eyes filled with infatuation.
He reached out and obsessively stroked the silky fur on Mu"s back. The warm and smooth sensation seemed to go straight from his hand to his heart. His heartbeat of "Bdum, bdum" was clear and strong, but somewhat chaotic . . .
"What are you doing!" Mu felt the restless hand on his back. He felt very strange and frantically shouted out.
Only then did Jiang Yu realize what he was doing. He reluctantly touched the silky fur again. He could not even think of mocking Mu or being mean to him, and unconsciously his voice became gentler. "I"m climbing on."
"Hurry up, we have to be back before sunset," Qi said in a low voice. He had also shapes.h.i.+fted.
Mu glanced sideways at him with a blank expression and then he immediately began to run swiftly, Qi following behind them. He soon overtook them, and the three of them soon arrived at the golden thorns" nest.
"This is the nest of the golden thorn beast. We can"t go any further than this, or we"ll be discovered by the golden thorn beast." Qi motioned Mu to stop and addressed Jiang Yu, who was still on Mu"s back.
Jiang Yu nodded, then jumped down from Mu"s back and longingly gazed at Mu for a while before slowly opening his mouth. "Then wait for me here. When I"ve found what I want, I"ll come out."
Under Jiang Yu"s guileless gaze, Mu stiffly froze. He became angrier and did not show a trace of acknowledgment after hearing Jiang Yu"s words. He turned his head to the side.
Looking at the furry white tiger"s petulant behavior, Jiang Yu felt that he was really too pitiful. He suddenly signed and turned and approached the golden thorns" den.
Of the two people behind him, one looked dignified and the other still looked angry yet bashful.
Jiang Yu held his nose as he stared into the cave, reluctant to go in. The opening of the cave was extremely small, just a little higher than Jiang Yu himself.
Just standing in the doorway, Jiang Yu could smell a horrible stench being carried by the wind, and almost spit out the food he had eaten this morning.
"Gasp—" Jiang Yu twisted his head and drew a fresh breath of air. Then he held his breath and rushed in.
The interior of the cave was a little damp, and with every step, his foot was covered in mud. The sticky floor under the soles of his feet made Jiang Yu uncomfortable. But as soon as he thought of his task, Jiang Yu could only clench his teeth and endure the nausea as he walked deeper into the hole.
Only the entrance to the cave was well lit. Further in the cave, there are only vague shadows, and the area in front of Jiang Yu is a ma.s.s of black.
At this moment, Jiang Yu really wished he had a flashlight. It was simply humanity"s greatest invention!
The darkness and stench made Jiang Yu feel like giving up, but then he turned his eyes to the ground.
After carefully examining the patches of ground illuminated by sunlight, Jiang Yu did not find anything that looked like gra.s.s. All of it was bare ground.
He didn"t have any choice but to walk to a patch of shady ground and bend down to touch the ground with his hand. Fortunately, the cave wasn"t very large. After Jiang Yu had walked ten steps, he touched the wall of the cave.After checking a good half of the cave, Jiang Yu finally found something that felt like gra.s.s. It was ice cold and covered with small thorns. He was overjoyed. After all this effort, he finally found it!
Jiang Yu was so excited that he couldn"t care less about the pain in his hand. He crouched down and groped for the golden thorn gra.s.s, and found where they were rooted. Jiang Yu carefully took out the stick he was carrying with him. A long time pa.s.sed before he was able to loosen the surrounding soil and harvest the golden thorn plant.
The tribe doctor had told him that the tribe didn"t have any of this plant since they never collected it before. Therefore, he wanted Jiang Yu to pull out an entire herb and bring it back to see if he could grow it in the tribe.
Jiang Yu did not dig up the rest of the golden thorn plants, but instead clipped the leaves and put them into a small basket.
Because he was concentrating so much while he collected the herb, Jiang Yu did not notice anything strange. However, once he finished, he felt a burning pain in his hand. It hurt so much that he was afraid to move it.
Jiang Yu gritted his teeth. Though it hurts, the task is completed, and he is in high spirits.
Just as Jiang Yu was about to step out of the darkness, something soft and satiny suddenly rubbed against his leg . . .
Jiang Yu"s hair stood on end and he shuddered all over. "Ah-!!!"
