Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea!

"The Fire Python Tiger ran!?"

By the time the smoke and dust cleared, the Fire Python Tiger's figure had long since vanished.

The blood left on the ground had already begun to congeal.

Lin Chen gave two dry coughs and said in exasperation, "That damned Fire Python Tiger actually had another trick hidden. I thought it was about to breathe its last, and that one sword would send it on its way faster!"

In the eyes of everyone else, there was nothing wrong with his reaction.

After all, killing a Demonic Beast at the Heavenly Yuan Stage, even one that was gravely wounded and on the verge of death, was still an achievement worth talking about.

"Damn it!"

Lei Li had originally planned to teach Lin Dong a lesson, then go and wear that Fire Python Tiger down until it died. But Lin Dong's Earthly Yuan Stage cultivation gave him quite a headache.

Now that he had seen the Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast, the Fire Python Tiger, flee, he was even more furious, stamping his feet again and again.

That was a Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast. Its whole body was treasure!

"Big Brother Lei Li, our target is the Fire Python Tiger Cub. If that Demonic Beast ran, then let it run."

Seeing this, Xie Yingying could only soothe Lei Li from beside him.

Her gaze subconsciously turned toward the rocky slope where the three newborn Fire Python Tiger Cubs had been.

But with that one look, the faint smile on her face instantly froze.

Where... where were the Fire Python Tiger Cubs!?

"Big Brother Lei Li, the Fire Python Tiger Cubs are gone!"

Panic showed on Xie Yingying's face as she hurriedly reminded him.

Those were Fire Python Tiger Cubs that could grow into Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beasts—three whole cubs!

If they were gone, wouldn't all their previous efforts have been wasted!?

"Fuck, that Fire Python Tiger took the cubs and ran!"

When Lei Li heard this, then looked at the now-empty rocky slope, he roared furiously:

"The Fire Python Tiger is seriously injured. It definitely can't have gotten far. Everyone, chase it!"

Clearly, Lei Li subconsciously believed the disappearance of the three cubs was connected to the Fire Python Tiger's escape just now.

Those were three future Heavenly Yuan Stage experts. He absolutely could not let them get away!

For a time, the people of the Lei Family and the Xie Family surged like a dark mass into the forest in the direction of the Endless Mountain Range, determined to catch up to that injured Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast, the Fire Python Tiger.

"Brother Chen, what do we do?"

Lin Dong came to Lin Chen's side. Watching Lei Li and the others hurry away, he quickly asked.

"No rush. Wait a moment."

Lin Chen knew what was going on. He chuckled happily, then quickly took Lin Dong to meet up with Wu Yun.

Wu Yun had already taken advantage of the earlier opportunity to carry away the Fire Python Tiger Cubs.

And Mu Lingsha, who was hidden in the dark, had also been watching the nearby situation and had not discovered anything unusual.

"Brother Lin, it's done!"

Wu Yun excitedly took off the clothes on his back and carefully placed them on a rock, then continued:

"I finally understand, Brother Lin. You saved the Fire Python Tiger because you had another plan. You wanted it to draw away the attention of the Lei Family and the Xie Family, so they wouldn't know we took the Fire Python Tiger Cubs away. Once the Fire Python Tiger Cubs grow up, we'll scare them to death!"

As he said this, he could not suppress his joy and excitement.

"Exactly. This was definitely a brilliant move!"

Lin Xia and Mu Lingsha, who were beside them, both agreed strongly. Without the Fire Python Tiger's escape, they would definitely have had to clash with the Lei Family and the Xie Family.

Once they reached the Grand Stage, they might even have to face the threat of Heavenly Yuan Stage experts.

No matter how they thought about it, that would have been an enormous hassle.

"But these three Fire Python Tiger Cubs are so cute!"

Facing the Fire Python Tiger Cubs that had yet to open their eyes, Lin Xia and Mu Lingsha's eyes shone, their whole bodies seeming to glow with maternal radiance at that moment.

While the two of them had their attention on the Fire Python Tigers, Lin Chen also spoke at just the right time:

"Originally, we should be dividing up the Fire Python Tiger Cubs now. But after thinking it over, I don't think any of you would want the Lei Family and the Xie Family to know that the Fire Python Tiger Cubs are with you under the current circumstances."

Wu Yun raised his brows slightly, seeming to understand what Lin Chen meant, and asked:

"Brother Lin, you mean that if we can, it would be best to keep up the false impression from earlier, that the Fire Python Tiger took the cubs away. That way, no one else will covet them. But we're all inside Beast Horn Arena, so there's no way for us to hide the Fire Python Tiger Cubs properly. Besides, these little fellows are so small. It wouldn't be safe to leave them in the forest either."

He did want to do that, but there was simply no way to make it work.

Continuing that brilliant move from earlier would definitely benefit them.

Given how overbearing the Lei Family and the Xie Family were, they certainly would not want the Lin Family or the Mad Saber Martial Hall to produce new Heavenly Yuan Stage experts.

In that case, when they left the forest later and reached the Grand Stage, they would definitely make trouble.

Even if they got through this crisis, no one could guarantee that the Fire Python Tiger Cubs would not be plotted against while they were growing up.

That way, if they had a good method to hide the Fire Python Tiger Cub and wait until after the Hunting Activity ended, only their three families would know about it. Then there would be no unnecessary complications.

Unfortunately, just as Wu Yun had said earlier, they had no such method.

"Yes, exactly."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement with Wu Yun's words. He smiled, then continued, "But I have a way to bring the Fire Python Tiger Cub out safely without anyone discovering it. Once this is over, we can divide up the cubs."

Wu Yun and the others widened their eyes and kept sizing Lin Chen up, trying to determine whether what they had just heard had been some kind of joke.

This was no time for joking.

Wait.

That familiar feeling made Wu Yun think of what Lin Chen had suggested earlier—stopping the Fire Python Tiger's bleeding.

Although he did not know how Lin Chen had made the Fire Python Tiger abandon its cubs and run for its life, the fact that Lei Li and the others had not noticed anything strange and believed the Fire Python Tiger had taken all three cubs away was enough to show that the level of thinking between them was not on the same plane.

Wu Yun felt that since Lin Chen said he had a way, then he definitely had one.

So he simply said, "Brother Lin, I believe you. If you say you have a way, then we'll leave it to you!"

Mu Lingsha, standing beside him, was stunned for a moment. After hesitating briefly, she thought of how the Mu Family Manor had only one expert at the early Heavenly Yuan Stage.

If the Lei Family and the Xie Family set their sights on them, they would definitely be in serious trouble.

Her resolve firmed, and she echoed, "That's right, Lin Chen. We're counting on you!"

In any case, in the broader sense, they were all allies with a common enemy. Before that enemy fell, there definitely would not be any accidents between them.

"All right. What we need to do now is immediately catch up to Lei Li and the others. We must make sure they don't suspect us, and find a chance to let the Fire Python Tiger go."

After receiving Wu Yun and Mu Lingsha's agreement, Lin Chen also felt relieved.

On his side, Lin Xia and Lin Dong both listened to him, so there would be no problem.

"Right. We'll go now!"

Wu Yun and Mu Lingsha exchanged a glance, then immediately signaled with their eyes for Lin Dong and Lin Xia to come along.

Mainly, the method that could take away the Fire Python Tiger Cub was definitely one of Lin Chen's trump cards.

To avoid making things awkward for Lin Chen, it was best for them to leave first.

After the four of them left, Lin Chen lowered his head and looked at the three Fire Python Tiger Cubs, his gaze finally settling on the weakest cub among them. He chuckled softly and said, "This time, I suppose your mother has been saved."

The Azure Dragon Ring in his hand, after being activated, flickered with a faint azure glow.

As a wisp of azure light enveloped the three Fire Python Tiger Cubs, they vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.

The White Tiger Cub waiting hungrily to be fed inside the Azure Dragon Ring's Small World noticed the three Fire Python Tiger Cubs that had suddenly appeared. It rubbed its way over, casually pawed at them a few times, and actually fell asleep right beside them!

Watching the situation inside the Azure Dragon Ring's Small World, Lin Chen's mouth twitched a few times.

Sure enough, he still had to find a wet nurse before he could properly raise this White Tiger Cub!
