Chapter 303 For the Tribe (4)
The cub's trust and dependence also made the other party completely lower their guard.
The other party's meaning was also very clear: they would take Jingli and the cub in his arms back to the tribe.
Jingli exhaled and, instead of climbing up using those beautiful large wings, lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped upwards.
The tiger was really big; its back was as big as two large buses.
Whether it was intentionally manipulated or naturally so, the fur on it was soft and warm, as if you could sleep on it without any problem, unlike the big guy he killed earlier, which was hard and stiff, like it could poke someone to death.
The wings fluttered, creating a gust of wind.
Jingli skillfully pulled out a shield artifact.
This magical artifact was found in Fen Chun's universe. According to 6058, Lu Mingguang bought it for him because he thought it was fun. Fen Chun scolded him for a while, saying that the thing was useless.
It's just that its defense isn't that high; any attack from a Golden Core cultivator can shatter it in an instant.
But it's also incredibly fancy; it can adhere to the shield like super gum, maintaining the direction of gravity inside, so no matter how the person being attached flips 360 degrees, they won't feel uncomfortable.
If you can't beat them, you can join the other side.
Its creator said so.
In the world of cultivation, this shield is indeed of little use.
But it couldn't be more suitable at this time.
[Jingli: Mr. Lu was quite prescient.]
[6058: He simply likes beautiful but useless people.]
[Keiri: Uh...uh?]
[6058: Not including me.]
[Keiri: ...]
The flying tigers had already taken off, with the leader flying at the very front, followed by the one beneath Jingli's rear, and then several others protecting them. Further back, two more were clutching Jingli's spoils—a large, unidentified creature. A few more brought up the rear.
[Jingli: It seems Flying Tigers still care about their cubs.]
[6058: For orcs in this initial world, reproduction is relatively difficult because their birth does not depend on sexual reproduction, but rather on the Tree of Life.]
[6058: Orc births are difficult. Newborns must be sent to the Tree of Life for blessing. Only one or two out of ten offspring may become true orcs, but even an average tribe might not have ten offspring born in a year.]
[6058: You've probably noticed as well that this world contains substances similar to spiritual energy. Besides blessing its offspring, the Tree of Life also actively nurtures its young, but this process is extremely lengthy, taking decades, even centuries.]
[6058: Given the level of importance they place on this, Mr. Yuan's offspring should be a child actively conceived by the Tree of Life.]
[Keiri: But didn't he come with me?]
6058 was silent for a moment, seemingly organizing its thoughts: [Idiot, do you even remember what kind of world this is?]
[Keiri: The Initial World?]
[6058: Not this one.]
Jingli realized something: [It's a world controlled by Cyphersey...]
[6058: Hmm, so he came here, possibly to replace the cub that was truly "lost." Of course, whether that cub was Mr. Yuan is another matter.]
There was another moment of silence.
[Keiri: Why would a world like this be controlled by Cyphers?]
He didn't quite understand.
Even though I just arrived here, I know this place is fraught with danger.
Even though it's a dog-eat-dog world, the orcs are simple-minded. If someone steals their precious cubs, they will do everything in their power to get them back.
If someone does them a favor, they will try to repay it.
In a world where all intelligent beings still act straightforwardly, how could it be so easily corrupted as it was in the previous world?
"Sigh," 6058 sighed, "this world is controlled not just because of pollution."
[6058: Every world is born from the power of chaos, and the newer the world, the more chaotic its state. You can understand emotions as a monitoring indicator of a world after it has been stripped of chaos, but observers usually don't intervene much in newly born worlds, at least not until they have completely emerged from their chaotic state.]
[6058: Because some worlds exist in a state of chaos for a long time, and cannot even be separated from it.]
For example, a natural disaster can destroy a civilization that has been nurtured over a long period of time.
Or, the destruction of a planet that has just given birth to life.
These are all possible.
Jingli opened her mouth slightly and made a short "ah" sound.
He thought he roughly understood.
Cyphers may have taken control of the world before it entered the pollution detection phase, perhaps by simply killing the original gods and incarnating as them.
Therefore, the world became his possession.
[Jingli: Then why does he want to pollute other worlds? Why doesn't he just go and choose from the chaos?]
This was just an angry remark, of course. No matter what world Cyphersy stole, Jingli would never let him go.
[6058: Because bringing a world fully into existence from chaos is not a simple matter.]
In other words, a piece of trash like Cyphersey couldn't do it; his control of the planet was purely due to luck.
But now that Jingli has arrived, his luck has run out.
6058 thought indignantly as well.
The two fell silent in tacit agreement, processing their emotions.
[Jingli: Mommy, where are you this time?]
[6058: Here it is.]
A snow-white, butterfly-shaped creature flew out from Jingli's clothes.
Below the two tentacles is a small white head with transparent, bubble-like eyes, and below that is a tuft of white fur. The wings are both like flower petals and have the texture of feathers.
It doesn't resemble a butterfly.
[Jingli: Like an elf.]
[6058: You could also say that this creature seems to be a byproduct of the Tree of Life, a being somewhere between spiritual energy and a living being.]
[Keiri: That's amazing!]
The little white sprite spat out two circles with a "biu biu" sound, which landed in Jingli's palm.
[6058: How do you feel?]
Jingli shook his head.
[6058: Hmm, it seems I'm the weakest. I'll try again.]
He flew to a wound in Jingli's body that hadn't healed from the fight with the big guys, and made two more "biu biu" sounds.
Now I can feel it in the scene.
First came a slight cooling sensation, then this coolness covered the wound, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the Phantom version of the 6058 accelerated this process.
[6058: Hehe! Looks pretty good!]
Because they are born from the Tree of Life, the sprites' breath has a healing effect, although the healing effect is not very strong.
If an orc is lucky, a swarm of fairy butterflies may come to his side to heal him and save his life if he suffers a fatal injury.
As a yokai, Keiri's physical abilities are much better than when she was an ordinary person. If she encounters unavoidable danger in this world, 6058 can also shake butterflies to help her.
Even more powerful!
Just like the big guy he's sitting on now.
