Chapter 48

Xie Juanhan placed the small basket near the mouths of each little creature, letting them carry it. "Alright, come back soon."

The little ones opened their mouths, wedged the basket behind their sharp teeth, nodded steadily, and turned to run away.

They stood tall and proud, running into the forest and disappearing behind the dense trees in no time.

Xie Juanhan watched them go and said to Telingewei, "Why do I get the feeling that they've defeated the Goblin and are now bursting with confidence?"

Telingewei: "They finally won, they'll definitely be smug for a while."

Xie Juanhan: "I wonder how well they can traverse the forest. Shall we follow them and see?"

The Magic Forest is so vast, and it contains so many Demonic Beasts, including quite a few level five Demonic Beast.

Xie Juanhan couldn't rest easy letting the little guys traverse half the forest.

They need to follow behind and protect them.

Telingewei: "I'll carry you."

Xie Juanhan didn't stand on ceremony with him. After he transformed into a giant dragon, he looked at his figure and laughed, "I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, can you shrink a little more? This size is really too big, it's too conspicuous in the forest."

The dragon strained, shrinking to one-third of its usual size. "This size?"

Xie Juanhan: "That works! That way we can fly directly through the forest and use the trees to conceal ourselves."

The dragon lay prostrate on the ground. "Come up here."

Xie Juanhan climbed onto his back, and after settling in, said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The dragon shook its head.

The little ones have already ventured deep into the Magic Forest.

The giant dragon carried Xie Juanhan as it flew behind, trailing far behind the little ones.

There are many towering trees in the Magic Forest.

They could use the giant trees to conceal themselves while flying inside.

Perhaps it was because they were too familiar with the auras of the two dragons, and this was the territory of the dragons.

The little ones were completely unaware of their presence.

The little ones, heads held high and chests puffed out, ran ahead with their baskets in their mouths.

As they ran, they reached the depths of the Magic Forest, a place unfamiliar to them.

The little ones started spinning in circles.

Xie Juanhan watched them circle around in the woods several times and wanted to warn them, but was stopped by Telingewei.

Fortunately, the little ones gradually realized something was wrong.

They darted back and forth through the Magic Forest, their noses twitching as they sniffed intently.

After sniffing for a long time, they finally found the scent of the great Demon Wolf and set off again.

Xie Juanhan whispered in the dragon's ear, "Is this the direction to the Demon Wolf Territory?"

The dragon affirmed, "It's in the direction of the Demon Wolf's territory."

Since the little ones were on the right track, Xie Juanhan and the others patiently continued to follow.

The little ones must be exhausted, and their mouths must be sore.

Along the way, some little ones would put down their baskets and pant heavily, but they would quickly catch up with the main group again.

The little ones wandered around the Magic Forest several times before finally stumbling and finding the territory of the Demon Wolf.

Moli caught a familiar scent and excitedly howled like a wolf through the forest: "Awoo--"

It howled several times, and gradually the forest echoed back, "Awoo--Awoo--"

The wolf howls that came back to us even had a babyish voice.

Moli's voice also had a childlike quality.

Soon, several little Demon Wolf excitedly ran out of the woods. "Moli! Moli, is that you? Awoo--"

Moli tilted her head back and yelled even louder, "Awooo!"

"Great wolf ancestor above, it really is you! Moli, how have you been lately?"

"Awoo--"

A pack of little Demon Wolf excitedly ran out from the depths of the forest, looked at Moli, and exclaimed, "It really is you! You've come back to see us?"

"Awoo!"

"You even brought food? It smells amazing! So nutritious! It smells delicious!"

"Awooo--"

"Chirp!"

"Given by Lord Silver Dragon? Wow, that's wonderful!"

The lively little Demon Wolf quickly gathered around the basket.

They burrowed their furry heads into the basket handles, sniffing intently at the aroma of food.

Looking at the lively little Demon Wolf, Moli's eyes revealed a hint of envy.

Harper glanced at it, walked over, stood on its hind legs, raised its body, rubbed its head against its neck, and then nuzzled its head against its neck.

Moli turned and licked Harper's fur.

When the other Companion Beast saw them cuddling, they immediately came over, stood up on their hind legs, and rubbed their heads against Moli.

The Companion Beast buried Moli completely.

Moli licked them one by one.

While Moli and the others were sticking together, the little Demon Wolf finished sniffing and looked up again.

They saw Moli huddled together with his Companion Beast and were instantly a little envious. "Wow, Moli, you guys have such a good relationship."

"Moli seems to have grown up quite a bit."

"Yes, yes, Akelisi said your ears have stood up, Giant Wolf on top, they really have stood up?"

"Your fur is growing so well. I've lost so much fur, and now it's getting a bit sparse."

"Yeah, Moli, you've lost quite a bit of your baby hair too, but how come it's still so thick? Is it growing new hair as it falls out?"

The little Demon Wolf sized up Moli, their envy growing stronger.

Everyone had shed half of their fur, but the little Demon Wolf was the biggest, with the strongest claws, the most muscular body, and even the most handsome appearance, looking majestic.

One of the little Demon Wolf sniffed the food in the basket and whispered, "Moli, is it because you eat the food prepared by Lord Silver Dragon every day that you're so well-grown?"

Moli raised his head and howled proudly like a wolf. "Awooo!"

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei stood on a tree branch some distance away, watching the little ones interact, their eyes filled with a sense of satisfaction.

Xie Juanhan leaned very close to Telingewei and whispered, "I've noticed that Little Moli is much more confident than before."

Telingewei nodded. "It's still necessary to play with your friends."

Xie Juanhan: "That's great. I was initially a little worried that I wouldn't be able to take good care of it."

"No, you're good at raising anything," Telingewei said.

Xie Juanhan turned to look at him. "You have a lot of confidence in me?"

Telingewei: "This is a judgment based on facts."

Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei, then leaned over and nuzzled Telingewei's head with his own.

Just like the little ones rubbing against each other.

Telingewei's ears turned slightly red, but he didn't flinch; instead, he gently brushed against her.

Ahead, the Companion Beast and the little Demon Wolf had already started playing together.

Moli wanted to wait for the Great Demon Wolf to return so he could visit the elders before going back.

The little Demon Wolf chattered amongst themselves, saying that their elders had gone deep into the Magic Forest to hunt together, and might even be ambushing others; they didn't know when they would return.

Moli and his Companion Beast could only carry empty baskets and head home early.

The little Demon Wolf were reluctant to part with him, and together they escorted Moli and his Companion Beast back home, seeing them off for a long distance.

The successful hunt did indeed have a positive impact on Moli and his Companion Beast.

Xie Juanhan observed that they were more confident and more relaxed.

Hunting also fostered friendships between the little Demon Wolf and its Companion Beast.

They prefer to play together.

When they have nothing to do, they gather at Xie Juanhan's house.

If Xie Juanhan is not home, they will guard the corridor.

That afternoon.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei went hunting in the Magic Forest and are not home.

The little ones were sleeping soundly on their backs under the eaves.

Its ears and tail occasionally flick.

She looks like she's sleeping soundly.

This sense of tranquility was captured by the eyes of those reflected in the river.

The Tata Fish popped their heads out from close to the river surface, staring at the furry creatures sleeping soundly dozens of meters away.

"Click-clack."

The Tata Fish opened and closed their mouths, making soft noises.

It's hot.

There were many birds chirping and insects buzzing in the woods.

The sounds of the Tata Fish are hidden among the many sounds, and are not special at all.

Only Harper and Moli's ears twitched.

But that's all.

They quickly fell asleep again.

The Tata Fish swimming in the river paused for a moment, then looked at each other.

They dive into the water, take a deep breath, and inhale both air and river water into their mouths.

A thin jet of water shot out from their pores, directly towards the furry creatures dozens of meters away.

"Zzz--"

The furry creatures were instantly awakened by the jet of water.

Even though the water jet had flown so many meters, it had little momentum left, and it didn't hurt when it hit my skin.

They immediately jumped up and rushed to the riverbank, ready to beat the fish.

The little Demon Wolf followed behind its Companion Beast and rushed towards the riverbank.

Not to be outdone, the Tata Fish immediately took a deep breath of water.

"Zzz--"

Thick jets of water shot out from their pores, shooting towards the furry creatures.

The Companion Beast ran incredibly fast, moving in a serpentine pattern.

The Tata Fish didn't have time to fully aim.

The water jets that hit the Companion Beast were minimal.

Only the little Demon Wolf.

It was neither familiar with the Tata Fish's movements nor did it react in time.

This guy ran ahead happily for a long distance, only to be hit head-on by the jet of water.

"Splash."

Almost all the water jets hit the little Demon Wolf's head.

Even with its thick fur, it was still soaked through and turned into a drenched wolf.

The little Demon Wolf was dumbfounded, blinked, and whimpered, "Awoo--"

As soon as the Companion Beast saw the little Demon Wolf being attacked, they immediately rushed over, some throwing stones at the Tata Fish, others leaping up to pounce on it.
