The system takes the poor cub to find his father

"Protect me?" Yu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fixed on the little cub in front of him.

The little guy looked up, his eyes full of determination, and he looked so serious, as if he was making a promise that would determine the survival of the world. He said he would protect Yu Li.

Just this one sentence made the softest part of Yu Li's heart tremble suddenly. He looked at the little cub carefully. His eyes, which were originally as gray as a dead pool, now seemed like lit stars, shining brightly, revealing an indescribable vitality.

In a trance, Yu Li's vision was a little blurred. He seemed to see Yu Mumu's pupils turned into a deep black, just like the brightest obsidian in the night sky, so bright that it was dazzling and intoxicating.

But when he blinked hard, the little cub in front of him still had those gray eyes, and the scene just now seemed to be just a dream for him.

"Okay, okay! Yu Li, let's go take a look together." Yu Mumu pulled the corner of Yu Li's clothes, and her soft voice was filled with unconcealable expectation, which immediately blew away all of Yu Li's hesitation.

Yu Li smiled helplessly, raised his hand and gently rubbed the cub's head. The touch was furry, just like the new grass in spring. "Okay, but you have to promise me that no matter what time, you have to stay close to me and not run away."

"Yeah!" Yu Mumu nodded vigorously, shaking her little head like a rattle. Then she grabbed Yu Li's hand and skipped towards the lake like a happy little rabbit.

Arriving at the lake, the water was like a huge mirror, sparkling under the caress of the sun. Since the disappearance of the water beast, the lake has been unusually quiet. The other side was white, all untreated salt crystals. Under the sunlight, it looked like a dreamy world of ice and snow, sparkling with tiny and charming light.

Yu Li slowly squatted down and gently and carefully took off the "clothes" that Yu Mumu gave him.

The tentacles were soft, with the unique scent of a cub. He folded the clothes carefully and gently placed them on the shore. Then he looked at Yu Mumu solemnly and put his hands on the little guy's shoulders: "We will go into the water together later. If you feel uncomfortable, even if it's just a little bit wrong, tell me immediately. Don't bear it. Remember?"

Yu Mumu was shocked by Yu Li's serious expression, but his heart was warm. He could really feel the concern. So, he nodded vigorously, his eyes smiling into two crescent moons: "Yu Li, don't worry! I will definitely be obedient and will never make trouble."

Yu Li wanted to give a few more instructions, but before he could finish his words, he was pushed into the lake by the little cub. With a splash, two people, one tall and one short, with outstanding looks, jumped into the water one after another beside the emerald green lake. The lake surface was covered with ripples at first, and then slowly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Yu Mumu, who had just entered the water, sank uncontrollably. His limbs thrashed in panic, and the feeling of suffocation instantly overwhelmed him like a surging tide.

The terrible memory of being dragged into the water by the water beast and almost drowning suddenly came to his mind like a demon, and his body's protective mechanism was completely triggered. The surroundings were terribly quiet, and this dead silence made his panic even more intense. He struggled desperately, splashing a large amount of water.

Yu Li, who had been staring at Yu Mumu, noticed something was wrong at the first moment. He did not hesitate to gather the strength in his palm. In an instant, a transparent protective shield appeared like a blooming crystal flower, covering Yu Mumu steadily. Yu Li gently held the spherical bubble that contained the cub against his chest, his face full of worry like a dense dark cloud: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." As he spoke, he pretended to swim upstream, wanting to quickly send Yu Mumu to shore.

But Yu Mumu shook his head stubbornly: "I'm fine, Yu Li, I want to go with you." He was originally terrified, but after being wrapped by Yu Li's power, he felt the familiar and reassuring breath, and his fear disappeared instantly. He curiously reached out his hand and gently touched the protective cover. The soft and elastic touch made him feel very novel. He jumped excitedly in the protective cover. As soon as his little butt touched the wall of the protective cover, it bounced back, like a little ball that had forgotten everything else.

Yu Li looked at the cub having fun, and his heart finally settled down. After confirming that the cub was fine, he gently pushed the protective cover wrapped around Yu Mumu and swam slowly towards the depths of the lake.

As they continued to dive, the light around them became dimmer and dimmer, and the water pressure became stronger and stronger, like a pair of invisible big hands, squeezing them tightly. Soon, without any water beasts blocking them, Yu Li arrived at the place where he discovered the abnormality last time.

Where the water beast disappeared, there was a whirlpool that was constantly surging and flowing. The whirlpool was bottomless, as if it was the entrance to another mysterious world.

The huge suction force sucked the surrounding water into it crazily, making a "whoosh" sound. Yu Li could feel a strong ominous breath from the whirlpool, which was icy and chilling. He picked up a small stone and threw it into the whirlpool. The stone was swallowed up instantly without making any sound. This made Yu Li's eyes even deeper, like a pool of deep water with no bottom to be seen.

However, their goal today was not to explore the secret of the vortex, but to find the light that Yu Li had been thinking about. Last time, he saw it clearly. The light appeared not far from the vortex.

Yu Li searched the surroundings carefully, not leaving out any corner. He opened his eyes wide, trying to distinguish every ray of light in the darkness. But there was no trace of the light, and even the familiar smell he had smelled before disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Yu Li's face looked a little ugly.

He was sure that the thing must still be in the water. He could feel it.

But why can't they locate it?

Yu Mumu, who was standing by, was a little bored and turned over in the protective cover to play on the trampoline.

The protective shield also rolled back and forth with the cub, constantly circling around Yu Li and jumping around him.

"Huh? What's that?" The little cub was a little tired from playing and wanted to take a rest. Suddenly, he felt a bright light flash before his eyes.

The little cub couldn't help but tilt his head curiously. He reached out and touched the protective cover, wanting to get closer to see what it was.

The protective shield accelerated suddenly, and unknowingly left Yu Li's protective range.

Yu Li immediately noticed the cub's movements and stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late.

A huge suction force sucked the cub's protective shield towards the vortex! !
