73: Chapter 73: What's going on? Everyone was completely baffled.
An Ke was originally aggressive, but this scene left him dumbfounded.
If momentum were compared to a flame, then a bucket of water had just been poured over his head.
"What's the situation?"
How can there be a Little Tiger!?
Behind the two little ones stood their respective elders.
In the live broadcast room's bullet comments, the viewers were also completely confused.
They didn't know exactly what had happened at the Camp just now.
Why were a Little Tiger and a Little Leopard frolicking together?
In the broadcast, upon seeing An Ke approach, the tiger let out another low growl.
Its eyes were sharp as it questioned An Ke, "Didn't I tell you that you couldn't come over?"
Its words were full of threat.
An Ke ignored the tiger; after seeing the Little Tiger, besides being dumbfounded, he also felt joy.
Having a Little Tiger meant this tiger had a weakness.
And he could use this weakness to restrain the tiger.
Restraining it for four days while waiting for [Natural Affinity] to upgrade would be no problem at all.
As the saying goes, even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs.
As long as the tiger dared to attack, he would use the Little Tiger as a threat.
Although this approach wasn't honorable, war only cared about winning or losing; who would care if the winner used despicable means?
History is written by the victors!
An Ke's expression relaxed significantly as he continued to ignore the tiger.
Instead, he called over Jingang: "Jingang, come here!"
"Master! Do you want me to hop over or fly over?"
An Ke: "..."
"Just get over here!"
An Ke was somewhat speechless at Jingang's flamboyant and annoying behavior.
How could this fellow be so thick-skinned?
Jingang pretended not to hear, flapping its wings to reach An Ke's side and landing on his shoulder.
"Jingang, tell me, what's the situation?" An Ke asked.
"Monster siege! Monster siege!" Jingang began to shout wildly.
An Ke gave it a flick on the head, and only then did the fellow quiet down.
Then, nursing the bump on its head, it began to tell An Ke what had happened.
"Do you have to be hit once to feel comfortable?" An Ke grumbled.
Based on Jingang's description, An Ke understood what had happened.
The Leopard had been patrolling the nearby territory with the Little Leopard as usual.
Although An Ke had instructed the Leopard not to go out and just stay at the Camp.
But patrolling was a biological instinct that couldn't be changed.
However, the Leopard had still listened to An Ke and only patrolled near the Camp.
Unexpectedly, it still ran into the tiger during this patrol.
Surprisingly, this tiger, like the Leopard, was a mother.
It was also carrying a Little Tiger.
Then, while the two "adults" didn't fight, the two little ones started scuffling directly.
It was called a fight, but it looked like play no matter how one viewed it.
After all, felines played by pouncing and biting each other, then running around erratically and acting crazy.
Watching their children play together, the Leopard and the tiger could only look at each other in bewilderment.
They bared their teeth at each other in a standoff, warning one another not to harm their child.
Although the tiger's physique could overpower the Leopard.
But considering the Little Tiger, as well as The monkeys and Jingang who had rushed over to support immediately.
The tiger had no choice but to endure.
The Little Tiger was its last cub, and it didn't want to lose its only offspring.
Once a fight started, the tiger might win.
But it would likely be a pyrrhic victory, and its child would certainly die.
Such a result was unacceptable to the tiger.
Therefore, although the tiger was extremely displeased and wanted to drive the Leopard and the others away.
It ultimately chose not to act, only waiting quietly on the side for the two cubs to finish playing.
Then came the moment An Ke returned.
Sensing the presence of An Ke, Little Scar, and the others, the tiger immediately went to stop them.
After seeing An Ke's manpower, it retreated, planning to take its child and leave.
An Ke nodded, "I see."
He finally understood why the tiger hadn't attacked earlier and why it had warned him not to approach.
It was all for the sake of its child.
"I want grilled fish! Crazy Thursday!" After finishing its report, Jingang began clamoring for a reward.
An Ke glanced at it and told it to go cool off somewhere else.
Serious business was at hand; why was it asking for grilled fish?
The corners of An Ke's mouth curled up imperceptibly.
He had been worried about how to restrain this fierce tiger for four days.
Now, the solution had presented itself.
Using the convenience provided by [Natural Affinity], he could definitely negotiate terms with the tiger.
Considering its cub, the tiger would likely agree to his terms.
Just then, the Little Tiger, who was biting the Little Leopard's ear, noticed An Ke's presence.
The little fellow's eyes immediately widened, staring straight at An Ke as if deeply attracted to him.
It ignored even the Little Leopard's shoving.
Then, the little fellow's vertical pupils suddenly lit up, and it began running towards An Ke on its four short legs.
The little one yowled excitedly, and upon reaching An Ke, it leaped into his arms.
An Ke reflexively caught it and looked down to see the little fellow happily nuzzling in his arms.
It seemed extremely happy and content.
An Ke couldn't help but be stunned.
Nearby, the tiger, which had been furious and about to stop its child, couldn't help but halt its steps.
It watched stiffly as its child played happily in An Ke's arms.
It was even acting spoiled with him.
This was clearly behavior the Little Tiger only showed towards its mother.
What was going on?
The tiger was completely dumbfounded and couldn't understand; it had never seen its child be so affectionate towards anyone before.
On the other side, the Leopard, wanting to protect its Benefactor An Ke, had taken the exact same action as the tiger.
The moment the tiger had moved to attack, it had pounced forward.
Wanting to support An Ke.
But unexpectedly, the Little Tiger had actually run over to act spoiled with An Ke?
Behind them, Little Scar and the other monkeys tilted their heads, full of questions.
There was also Jingang, as well as the two Dairy Cows who were shivering with fear.
All the animals present were left dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.
The originally tense situation turned into dead silence, with only the tiger cub happily nuzzling in An Ke's arms.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room.
The viewers had a god's eye view, and every move on the field was clearly visible.
The moment the Little Tiger ran towards An Ke, the scene briefly spiraled out of control.
The mother tiger's fur immediately stood on end as she roared and pounced towards An Ke, fearing he would harm her child in the slightest.
As soon as the tiger moved, the Leopard and The monkeys immediately sprang into action.
Even the Bees emitted a loud hum like a propeller and began moving to protect An Ke.
Yet no one expected that the Little Tiger was running into An Ke's arms to act spoiled!?
"Holy crap!? What's the situation here?"
"My heart was in my throat, and this is it?"
"I just closed my eyes and didn't dare to look..."
"A dignified tiger running into someone's arms to act spoiled?"
"So is the crisis over now?"
"I don't know; judging by the big tiger's attitude, probably not yet..."
