I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

It was hesitating whether to crush the human with a single paw.

"You saw it yourself. If he hadn't caught your child, there would probably be a pile of minced meat on the ground right now."

Xie Fengnan observed for a while. Although lions of this rank possess a certain level of intelligence, this one seemed to be exceptionally intelligent.

He decided to try communicating with them.

Sure enough, Lion Sheng Lion stopped gesturing and growled at Xie Fengnan, its beastly eyes fixed on the cub in Deng Xiu's arms.

Xie Fengnan couldn't understand animal language, but that didn't stop him from continuing to communicate.

"We had no intention of taking your child, but as you saw, even after we caught it, it was seriously injured. We happen to have a team member who understands this, so—"

Xie Fengnan winked at the young woman who had woven cloth for him; she was the team member in charge of medical matters.

Shen Rong, having received a meaningful glance, stepped forward and took out a healing potion to give to the lion cub.

It was visible to the naked eye that the cubs, whose cries had been very weak just moments before, were gradually gaining strength.

Huang Yong definitely didn't obtain this cub through normal means; its condition was genuinely not good before.

Logically speaking, even a cub shouldn't be this weak, and it didn't seem to resist when Huang Yong was holding it.

"So shouldn't we pay some for the treatment?"

Xie Fengnan looked at Shi Shengshi with a smile.

Deng Xiu's mood was like a rollercoaster. He was still feeling scared. If he hadn't listened to Xie Fengnan and caught the cub, this lion might have really torn them apart alive.

He thought treating the cub was for survival, but Xie Fengnan's words completely blew Deng Xiu's brain out. Was he trying to blackmail Shi Shengshi?!

But the lion showed no signs of getting angry, which puzzled Deng Xiu. Why was this creature so easy to talk to?

Lion-Sheng Lion was naturally not going to say anything. The cub had just been on the verge of death, even though Deng Xiu had saved it. But in Lion-Sheng Lion's eyes, he was the same kind of person as the one who stole the cub. Who knew if they were in cahoots?

However, from Lion's perspective, Xie Fengnan was not as innocent as he appeared. Lion keenly sensed the danger lurking within Xie Fengnan.

So Lion paced back and forth, signaling Xie Fengnan to follow it.

This scene almost made Deng Xiu's eyes pop out of their sockets; he had already decided on the title of the book he wanted to write.

A Few Things About My Brother's Extortion of a Fourth-Tier Lion.

Xie Fengnan was fearless, but Deng Xiu's teammates did not suggest going with him.

They neither intervened to save the cubs, nor did they possess the courage of Xie Fengnan.

Following LionShengLion, no one can guarantee that no accidents will happen. Now, by returning the cub to it and leaving, at least your personal safety is guaranteed.

If Lions' choice was truly to "pay for treatment," then their decision essentially meant giving up the opportunity to gain a better chance.

After all, one can't always encounter the benefits from a fourth-tier star beast.

However, self-preservation is also a prudent choice.

Xie Fengnan didn't force those who didn't want to go, so the team split into two groups: one group followed Lion Sheng Lion to the lair, and the other group continued to act according to the original plan.

Deng Xiu then realized that Xie Fengnan must have some kind of backing to dare to do this.

Moreover, judging from Lion's attitude, this is probably not some small trick. It's definitely the right thing to do to get benefits by following him this time.

No, why is he following Xie Fengnan? I'm the captain, shouldn't he be following me?

Deng Xiu was somewhat annoyed, but he still obediently followed behind Xie Fengnan. After all, if Xie Fengnan hadn't reminded him to save the cub and then stood up to extort money from him, he might not have gotten any benefits and might even have lost his life.

Xie Fengnan wasn't doing all this out of boredom; his target was a mineral called Crimson Blood Copper, which only exists in the dens of Lion Victory Lions.

It's important to know that the Shengshi family is not small, but among the four major Shengshi families, only the hometown of Shishengshi has this kind of ore.

The Crimson Copper is produced due to the characteristics of the Lion-Victorious Lion, and it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter Lion-Victorious Lions, since their numbers are not large and they are difficult to reproduce.

Therefore, the production of this ore is not high. When Xie Fengnan was making sword sheaths, he used up the already limited reserves. Now that he happened to come across it, how could he not take advantage of it?

However, Crimson Copper is just a useless resource for Lion-Victorious Lions; it's a resource that they wouldn't even bother to use since it grows right in front of their house.

Therefore, Xie Fengnan felt justified in robbing others, since none of them needed it, so he decided to use it instead.

Besides, I wasn't planning on getting something for free.

Xie Fengnan glanced at the cub in Shen Rong's arms. Little guy, you're really lucky to have met me.

Only Xie Fengnan, Deng Xiu, and Shen Rong came to the lair; the remaining eight people went to continue searching for resources.

I have to say, the people in this team are all pretty good.

Xie Fengnan started walking while lost in thought again.

They soon arrived at the Lion-Victorious Lion's lair. Xie Fengnan's eyes lit up as he looked at the Crimson Blood Copper, which was better than expected in both quantity and quality.

Just as Xie Fengnan was about to deliver his prepared remarks, a gust of wind swept towards them.

Xie Fengnan quickly led Deng Xiu and Shen Rong away.

Lion King Lion himself also dodged very quickly.

They were all unharmed, but a lot of Crimson Blood Copper was blown apart. Xie Fengnan was furious. Damn it—who was the blind fool who started the fight and then destroyed the house?

Xie Fengnan's angry gaze shot straight towards the direction from which the attack had been launched.
