Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 149 Joint Action

Time passed quietly, and in the following days, the atmosphere at the negotiating table became unusually "harmonious".

The Xiangxiong Kingdom, on the other hand, behaved unusually obediently.

Defense Minister Dorje was no longer as sharp-tongued as before; instead, he became polite and obedient, as if everything that had happened before was just a misunderstanding.

The two sides re-established a communication mechanism and signed a new non-aggression pact.

Of course, as for the Black Tiger Gang established by Fang Zheng and others on the border, the Xiangxiong Kingdom also chose to temporarily ignore it.

For them, the most important thing right now is naturally to appease China.

After all, nobody wants to anger that "cat" again.

Wang Hu and Lin Yue have kept a low profile these past few days. Wang Hu, still in the form of a kitten, lies at Cui Jiuyuan's feet, occasionally dozing off or squinting to observe everything around him.

Lin Yue continued to play her role as translator and recorder.

Over the past few days, Wang Hu had also been secretly observing Lin Yue. He discovered that although this girl seemed somewhat naive on the surface, she was exceptionally meticulous and thoughtful when handling details. Her memory was astonishing; she could accurately record every word Cui Jiuyuan said, and even every subtle expression.

Moreover, he would always inadvertently reveal a dangerous aura about him, which even Wang Hu could sense, but when he looked closely, he found nothing.

This made Wang Hu even more curious about her true strength.

Five days later, the negotiations concluded. Cui Jiuyuan, leading the Chinese delegation, left Xiangxiong Kingdom in a special car.

After leaving the capital, Wang Hu and Lin Yue quietly got off the carriage and were left behind.

The two of them stood on a barren hillside, watching the departing convoy and the city shrouded in mist behind them.

"Big Cat, where are we going now?" Lin Yue's voice was filled with excitement, as if she was full of anticipation for the adventure that was about to begin.

"Director Cui said, 'Shall we go find the spatial rift now?'"

Do you know where the spatial rift is?

Lin Yue's voice trembled slightly, both from fear and excitement. She clutched a folder tightly to her chest, as if this habitual action brought her a sense of security.

Wang Hu didn't speak, but simply jumped lightly onto Lin Yue's shoulder. He pointed in a direction with his paw, the location of the spatial rift in Xiangxiong Kingdom, which Cui Jiuyuan had told him about beforehand.

"Let's go then!"

Lin Yue took a deep breath, started walking in the direction Wang Hu pointed.

Wang Hu, perched on Lin Yue's shoulder, squinted as he surveyed their surroundings. They were currently in a hilly area outside the capital, the terrain uneven and sparsely vegetated. Occasionally, they could see abandoned buildings destroyed by artillery fire and some abandoned vehicles. Far removed from the "eerie prosperity" of the capital, this place felt more real and more desolate.

He could sense a faint energy fluctuation in the air, or more accurately, spiritual energy.

Cui Jiuyou had only given them a general idea of ​​the location of the spatial rift, but the exact location had not been found, so they would have to find it themselves.

However, this did not stump Wang Hu, as the area near the spatial rift must be a place rich in spiritual energy.

The closer you get, the stronger the fluctuations in spiritual energy become.

Therefore, as long as they head towards areas with abundant spiritual energy, they will definitely be able to find this spatial rift.

"Big Cat, do you think we can succeed this time?"

Lin Yue suddenly spoke up, her voice very low, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Wang Hu typed on his phone: "It should be fine, right?"

Lin Yue nodded, her curiosity deepening. "This spatial rift is extremely important to the mainframe. Will we encounter many mutants once we go inside?"

Wang Hu continued typing: "Definitely. But we have a drug that allows us to disguise ourselves as their kind. The key is to find the right opportunity."

Lin Yue's eyes lit up: "That's right! Director Cui has already thought of everything for us. But, Big Cat, do you think that Sangbu is really from another world? He looks no different from us."

Wang Hu typed on his phone: "His aura is different. Moreover, his pursuit of power is too extreme, and his personality is also very twisted. People like him are rare on Earth today."

Lin Yue remained silent for a while, seemingly processing Wang Hu's words. She recalled the scene in the banquet hall where Dorje had been so frightened by Wang Hu that he had collapsed to the ground. To this day, she still couldn't understand how this seemingly cute little cat could possess such power.

"Big Cat, what exactly is your ability?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Director Cui said you're a white tiger, could it be—you really are a white tiger?"

Wang Hu didn't answer; he simply patted Lin Yue's shoulder lightly with his paw. He didn't like explaining his abilities; he preferred to let the facts speak for themselves. Besides, now wasn't the time for explanations.

Seeing that Wang Hu didn't answer, Lin Yue didn't press him. She knew that some things weren't meant to be asked right now. She just felt that this little cat beside her was full of mystery.

The two continued their journey. The closer they got to the spatial rift, the more desolate the surrounding scenery became. Strange plants began to appear on the ground, growing twisted and dull in color, as if they had been corrupted by some unseen force. A faint smell of decay permeated the air.

Wang Hu's sense of danger was sending out faint warnings. He knew there were definitely mutants nearby. But he didn't let Lin Yue stop; he needed to observe more closely to determine the best infiltration route.

"Stop!" Wang Hu suddenly typed on his phone, pointing with his paw at a patch of bushes in front of him.

Lin Yue immediately stopped, her body tensing, her eyes warily fixed on the bushes. She could sense something there, but couldn't quite make it out.

A faint rustling sound came from the bushes. Then, a dark shadow darted out. It was a huge, mutated lizard, its skin a dark green covered in hard scales. Its eyes gleamed crimson, and its foul-smelling tongue lolled out.

As soon as the mutated lizard appeared, it locked onto Lin Yue and Wang Hu. It let out a low growl and then pounced.

Lin Yue's expression changed, and she instinctively tried to dodge. But Wang Hu was faster than her. He jumped off Lin Yue's shoulder, and his body instantly expanded in mid-air, transforming into a huge golden tiger.

"roar!"

A tiger's roar that shook the valley came from Wang Hu's mouth. The sound carried unparalleled power, directly causing the mutated lizard's body to stiffen and its movements to stop instantly.
