When Yu Li returned to this land with his little cub Yu Mumu,

The scene before him was like a Shura field. The bodies of defeated beasts were lying in all directions on the ground, and every scene was shocking.

Some of the beasts had their throats bitten off and were dying, only able to make faint "ho ho" sounds, with the breath of life disappearing from their bodies bit by bit; others were left with only half of their bodies left, with their organs exposed, and the bloody scene was unbearable to watch.

A few days have passed, and the air is still filled with the thick smell of blood, as if telling of the fierce battle that once took place. It is not difficult to imagine how tragic the battle was at that time.

Yu Mumu held Yu Li's hand tightly, a look of disgust appeared on her childish face. Her brows slightly furrowed, and she said in a childish voice, "What on earth are these guys trying to rob? They've made themselves into this state."

His eyes swept over the surrounding wreckage, his little heart full of confusion. In his simple understanding, he really couldn't understand why these beasts were so crazy. After all, in the scene before him, no one was a winner.

Yu Li looked at the mess with a calm expression, as if he had long been accustomed to such scenes. In the past, orcs from various tribes would not hesitate to start brutal tribal wars in order to grab resources.

In comparison, the fights between these beasts were nothing compared to the fights between the two. However, he could not help but frown, his heart full of doubts. What on earth could have such a strong attraction that could make these beasts fight for it without regard for their lives?

Suddenly, a bright light flashed through Yu Li's mind.

He remembered the fleeting flash of light he had seen when he had pulled the cub out of the water.

At that time, he thought it was just the effect of sunlight refraction and didn't take it seriously. But now, looking at the frenzied appearance of these beasts, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the mysterious light might be the target they were fighting for. Yu Li cast his gaze towards the calm lake, and a hint of depth flashed in his eyes. Under this seemingly calm lake, perhaps the key to solving the mystery is hidden.

But when he looked down and saw Yu Mumu leaning obediently at his feet, he forced himself to suppress the urge to jump into the water and find out what was going on.

He could not forget the days when the little cub was in a coma. Every minute and every second was torture, and he was filled with fear. Fortunately, the little cub woke up, otherwise he really didn't know what crazy things he would have done.

Thinking of this, Yu Li's eyes flashed with determination. He would never leave the little cub alone in a place where he couldn't see it again. He would protect the little cub well.

Thinking of the escaped water beast again, Yu Li's face suddenly turned cold, and a chill emanated from his body. He secretly swore in his heart that next time he met the water beast, he would never show mercy. He would make it pay double for the harm it brought to the cub.

"Father? Father?" A soft and sticky voice sounded, interrupting Yu Li's thoughts. He lowered his head in confusion and looked at Yu Mumu, only to see that the little cub looked unhappy. Yu Li's expression softened instantly, and he slowly squatted down, looking at Yu Mumu's eyes, looking into the little cub's gray eyes.

If other orcs saw Yu Mumu's eyes, they might be afraid.

These eyes were completely devoid of the brightness and curiosity about the world that a cub of this age should have, nor did they have that kind of lively feeling. Instead, they were like a pool of stagnant water, or as if they had just crawled out of hell, revealing an endless silence.

What's even more strange is that there seems to be a vortex hidden in those eyes. If you stare at the cub for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable, as if your whole mind will be sucked in.

At first, Yu Li was not used to these eyes. But as they spent more and more time together, he gradually developed resistance to them. Even if he stared at them for a long time, he would no longer have the thought of running away. Not only that, sometimes when he looked into Yu Mumu's eyes, Yu Li would always feel pity in his heart. He seemed to be able to see through these eyes the difficult years that the little cub had gone through. The unknown pain made the little cub, who should have been lively and cute, become silent and always look dull.

After spending some time together, Yu Li discovered that the little cub was not as mature and dull as he looked.

In fact, he was full of curiosity about everything around him, but it seemed that something or someone had been suppressing his nature. Until now, the little cub was like a carefully carved model. He always looked calm and didn't show his emotions easily. Only when Yu Li was injured, Yu Mumu would inadvertently show an expression different from usual, which was true concern and nervousness.

Thinking of this, Yu Li couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. He thought that he must be a special existence in the little cub's heart.

"Father, what were you thinking about just now?" Yu Mumu looked at Yu Li's thoughtful expression, and even looked at everything around him with a look that he couldn't understand and was full of heartache, his heart was full of curiosity.

Yu Li was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Nothing, just thinking about some things in the past."

He didn't want the little cub to worry about these complicated things. The cruel reality of tribal wars and beasts fighting was too heavy for the little cub. He just wanted the little cub to be by his side and grow up without worries.

Yu Li's eyes flashed with coldness. His little cub was still young.

No one knows what they will encounter in the future.

But Yu Li had only one belief in his heart, that is, no matter what happened, he would protect Yu Mumu.

Accompany him. As for the previous situation where the little cub was left alone to face the water beast, Yu Li promised that he would not let him appear again.

Orc warriors have nine levels of advancement, and Yu Li is only a level three orc. However, through this battle with the water beast, he found that he had a tendency to reach level four. He had a feeling that something was missing from his upgrade from level three to level four. He had an inexplicable premonition that what he needed was hidden at the bottom of the lake.

Yu Mumu watched Yu Li looking towards the lake from time to time, and gently pulled Yu Li's hand to wake him up from his thoughts.

"Yu Li! Where do you want to go? I always feel like there's something there." Yu Mumu felt the same as Yu Li, but Yu Li felt it more clearly. There was always a voice in Yu Mumu's mind calling him.

Seeing Yu Li's hesitation, Yu Mumu knew that he might have been frightened by the water beast last time.

He patted his chest hard to assure Yu Li

"Yu Li! Don't worry, I promise I won't fall asleep this time. I will protect you!"
