Monster Cub Live Stream – CH3

Chapter 3

Looking at the little monster cub before him, Feng Wu was momentarily dazed.

Everyone who came to Sin Star suffered from Alpha Syndrome, and Feng Wu was naturally no exception.
His Alpha symptom was mental power riot. Over the past few years, each outbreak had become more severe than the last, and the intervals between episodes had also grown shorter and shorter.

The previous mental power riot had come without the slightest warning and had been exceptionally violent. Feng Wu had almost thought he would not survive it.

But he did.

At the moment the riot ended, Feng Wu had almost thought he was dreaming. Yet aside from shock, what he had felt at the time was also deep confusion.

At the most painful point of the episode, he had vaguely felt someone touching the space between his brows.

Warm and soft, carrying a trace of power so gentle and comforting that it almost made one want to sigh, it had cautiously entered his body, trying to soothe his rampaging mental power.

And his mental power really had seemed to become somewhat calmer because of it.

During the onset of the illness, Feng Wu had had no spare energy to think about anything else. After waking up, he had assumed that the soft power had merely been a sensory hallucination brought on by the episode.

Alpha Syndrome could not be treated or alleviated by any method—so how could it possibly have been affected by such a weak power?

And yet he vaguely felt that after this episode, the pain in his body had been lighter than ever before.

As Feng Wu recalled that night, the only ones by his side during the attack had been the monster he had defeated, and another tiny little monster cub.

The monster had fled as soon as his episode began. As for that little cub…

Feng Wu did not know whether the cub had left at the time. He only knew that when he woke up, the little cub had also disappeared without a trace.

After recovering, Feng Wu had tried to find the little cub. But the wilderness of Sin Star was far too vast, and because of Alpha Syndrome, he did not dare use mental power on a large scale. As a result, he had failed to find any sign of the cub.

The soft sensation coming from his wolf paw pulled Feng Wu out of his memories.

This kind of soft touch really was very similar to what he had felt between his brows that night. But… Feng Wu frowned slightly. This cub clearly did not even know how to speak in its second form, so how could it possibly possess the power to resist Alpha?

Lin An’an had no idea what Feng Wu was thinking at that moment, but from their brief earlier contact, he had already gained some understanding of this silver wolf.

At the very least, the giant wolf would not attack a little cub the way the male lion and the big monster had done before.

With that reassurance, Lin An’an instantly relaxed. He curled himself into a little ball and hid behind the thick wolf paw.

Then he poked out half his head and provocatively called toward the big monster lingering uncertainly on the slope, “Yingji!”

The big monster on the slope seemed very afraid of the giant wolf. It let out an angry roar, and the four pairs of scarlet eyes flickered with unwillingness.

Only then did Lin An’an finally remember why this monster looked so familiar.

Wasn’t this the very same big monster that had fought the silver wolf on the night of the wolf’s mental power riot—and gotten thoroughly beaten up?

The silver wolf slightly lifted its eyelids. Its dark golden eyes locked onto the big monster like a warning, and a low growl emerged from its throat, deep yet immensely intimidating.

Just that one sound was enough to make the big monster shudder uncontrollably. Tucking its tail, it fled in a miserable hurry.

Lin An’an: “Yingji!”

Brother Wolf is mighty! Brother Wolf is awesome! Brother Wolf is the king of the wilderness!!!

The little monster cub pulled a face at the retreating monster.

Evil people get what they deserve… no, no, that’s not right—Brother Wolf is not a villain at all!

The very next second, the silver wolf changed position. The little cub hiding behind the wolf’s paw was lightly nudged by the huge paw, lost his balance, rolled several times on the ground, and landed with a plop as a flattened little monster pancake.

Lin An’an: “…Yingji!” Brother Wolf, please show mercy under your paw!

The giant wolf lowered its eyes and glanced at him, then lifted its head to look into the distance, lazily yawning as it did so.

Climbing back up from the ground, Lin An’an boldly moved closer and asked, “Yingji?”

Brother Wolf, are you wandering the world all alone?

The giant wolf’s ears twitched, but it made no sound.

So Lin An’an continued, “Yingying jiji?”

Do you get lonely all by yourself?

Need a little follower?

What do you think of me? Super well-behaved, super obedient, super good at showering people with compliments!

Lin An’an chattered on by himself for quite a while. Seeing that the silver wolf neither refused nor drove him away, he happily slapped the wolf’s paw.

“Yingji!”

Then I’ll take that as your silent approval!

Only then did the giant wolf lower its head, its dark golden eyes sweeping lightly over the chirping, noisy little cub.

Feng Wu: ? What kind of bird language is this? I can’t understand a thing.

Thus, one wolf and one cub successfully formed a team, becoming a striking sight in the wilderness of Sin Star.

At daybreak, Lin An’an stretched lazily, his soft little tentacles waving about in the air for a moment before he struggled his way out of the thick, soft wolf fur.

The moment he lifted his head, he met the silver wolf’s dark golden gaze.

The little cub guiltily touched his nose. “Yingji.”

He really had not meant to sleep in Big Brother Wolf’s tail. It was just that Big Brother Wolf’s tail was warm and windproof, and he simply had not been able to resist, qwq.

For anyone in their second form, the tail was an extremely sensitive area. But Feng Wu had no intention of quibbling with a little cub.

Feng Wu had also run out of stored food, so today he needed to go hunt for something to eat.

The silver wolf stood up and walked off into the distance, his casual stride carrying a kind of imposing aura beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Lin An’an let out a little wow and hurriedly bounced after him.

“Yingji!”

Brother Wolf, wait for me!

Feng Wu paused, stopped in his tracks, turned around, lowered his head, and opened his great bloody maw.

Lin An’an: “! Yingying yingji!!”

Brother Wolf, don’t, don’t, don’t eat me—aaah!!!

The next second, the giant wolf’s sharp teeth gently caught the back of the little monster cub’s neck and tossed him onto his own back.

Dizzy and disoriented, Lin An’an lifted his head and discovered that his view was completely blocked by Brother Wolf’s thick silver-white fur.

Only then did the little cub realize that Big Brother Wolf was not trying to eat him after all, and he instantly relaxed.

“Yingji!”

Big Brother Wolf really was a good wolf after all!

The giant wolf moved extremely fast. Lin An’an had no choice but to flatten himself down, gripping the long wolf fur tightly with his little tentacles. Only then did he avoid the tragic fate of being flung off.

Seeming to notice his discomfort, Feng Wu slowed his pace ever so slightly.

With difficulty, the little cub poked his head out from the wolf fur and looked around.

The giant wolf had already run into an area Lin An’an had never been to before. It was equally desolate, yet much livelier than the places he had stayed in earlier.

Lin An’an could hear birdsong and the chirping of small animals, and among all the sounds carrying traces of mental power, he also caught quite a few presences that had no mental power at all.

—So there really were ordinary animals in this world too.

The little monster cub fell into thought. Just then, the roar of a flying craft sounded once more in the sky. Lin An’an looked up and saw, far away in the distance, another supply box dropping down.

Seeing that the giant wolf did not seem to have any intention of moving, Lin An’an asked in confusion, “Yingji?”

Aren’t we going to fight for the supplies?

Feng Wu could not understand the little cub’s “bird language,” and remained standing where he was. Not long after, the flying craft flew directly overhead and dropped another supply box nearby.

Only then did Lin An’an suddenly understand that there was more than one supply box.

The surrounding beasts and monsters quickly crowded in, and another battle for supplies became unavoidable.

Lin An’an hesitated a little. Should he hide somewhere else so that Big Brother Wolf could fight without scruples? Or should he just stay hidden in Big Brother Wolf’s fur and put a mental power shield around himself?

Before he could finish struggling over the choice, a layer of mental power shield had already been placed around him.

Feeling that familiar aura of mental power, Lin An’an was deeply touched. “Yingji!”

As expected of such a considerate big brother wolf!

The supplies were about to land, and the battle finally began.

The pitch-black little monster cub hid within the wolf fur. Two soft little tentacles clung tightly to the fur to steady himself, while he conjured two more tentacles and raised them high to cheer for the giant wolf who was valiantly fighting.

“Yingji yingji, yingying jiji!”

Go, Brother Wolf! Brother Wolf is amazing! Knock them all flat!!!

This battle for supplies ended with unusual speed. The victorious silver wolf surveyed the surroundings in the posture of a champion, then could not help shaking his head.

The little cub was far too noisy, chirping and chattering until his ears itched.

After the supplies dropped, Feng Wu showed no courtesy at all and swept up a whole large sack of supplies to take away.

Lin An’an’s sharp eyes caught sight of a large box printed with the little bunny design, and he immediately tugged at the wolf fur with a tentacle.

The silver wolf paused slightly, sensing the little cub on his back climbing up toward his head. A slender, soft little tentacle stretched into his field of vision.

Feng Wu lowered his head and saw the little bunny-print box. It was a specialty product from one of the Empire’s planets. Inside were some snacks that looked attractive but tasted rather unimpressive.

As expected, still just a cub—only interested in these flashy little things.

The silver wolf hooked a paw around the printed box and tossed it into the large sack held in his mouth.

Completely satisfied, Lin An’an climbed back onto the wolf’s back and once again flopped down like a little cub pancake. To be fair, Brother Wolf’s back really was comfortable—thick, soft fur, just the right warmth, so comfortable that Lin An’an almost wanted to settle down there permanently.

—Provided that, when the other party ran, he did not go quite so fast.

The little cub clung to the wolf fur, jostled so much that he became dizzy and saw stars, nearly falling off the wolf’s back several times.

“Yingji!”

Brother Wolf, slower! I get motion sickness—no, wolf sickness!!!

At the same time, inside one of the research rooms at the Alpha Research Center, the huge light screen showed the silver wolf’s departing back. His speed was so great that his figure on the screen had become no more than a blurred afterimage.

“SSS is too fast. The camera can’t keep up,” someone said helplessly.

“It doesn’t matter.” The leader waved a hand and instructed that the footage from the supply battle be pulled up. “Zoom in a little more.”

On the screen, the silver wolf’s figure froze in the middle of a forward pounce.

The leader pointed to the area near the wolf’s neck on his back. “Here. Enlarge that.”

There, a tiny patch of black shadow flickered in and out of view. It was not very clear in the footage, but the contrast between black and white was so strong that it stood out quite noticeably.

“What is that?”

The people in the research room looked at one another, all equally bewildered.

After eating his fill, Lin An’an contentedly sprawled flat on the grass.

The food in this world seemed to consist mainly of dry rations. The taste and texture were both unimpressive, but Lin An’an was in no position to be picky. Being able to eat his fill was already quite good enough.

Night was approaching, and darkness had already begun to cover the sky.

Feng Wu was still eating. He ate quickly, but his appetite was large, so he still had not finished even now.

The little cub, who had been lying quietly by his side, suddenly moved. Feng Wu tilted his head slightly, his beast eyes calmly studying the cub, wanting to see what he intended to do.

The little cub lazily stretched, then slowly shuffled over to the gaudy snack box. His soft tentacles patted and pushed at it from left to right, but after half a day, he still could not open it.

A moment later, Lin An’an turned around to look at the silver wolf and cautiously rested a little tentacle on the furry wolf paw.

“Yingji?”

Brother Wolf, can I borrow your paw for a bit?

The little cub’s bean-like eyes were black and bright. Feng Wu lowered his head to look at him, saying nothing and making no move.

Lin An’an took that as tacit agreement. Huffing and puffing, he dragged the little bunny box over, lined it up with the sharp claws on the wolf paw, and pressed down hard. At once, a hole of moderate size appeared in the box.

Feng Wu: “…”

Lin An’an used the wolf paw to punch several holes in the box, then pulled open a palm-sized opening and moved the snacks out one packet at a time, after which—

He climbed inside it himself.

Feng Wu: “???”

Whose child was this, exactly?

Why was he so… weird?

Lin An’an did not sleep very long before he was woken by a beast’s roar.

The little cub turned over inside the bunny villa and thought to himself that Big Brother Wolf was outside anyway. If the sky fell, the tall one would hold it up first—there was no need for a little cub like him to go fight.

—As if.

The urge to watch the excitement overcame his drowsiness. Lin An’an poked his head out of the box, wanting to see what was happening outside.

The owner of the roar was rapidly approaching them. The silver wolf beside him had clearly seen the other party, yet did not seem to intend to move at all.

Lin An’an was feeling puzzled when he noticed that the figure walking toward them in the moonlight looked somewhat familiar.

It was a black bear.

Since the silver wolf was not panicking, Lin An’an was not panicking either. He even pulled out a small pack of biscuits, preparing to satisfy his lonely mouth.

Then he watched as the approaching black bear’s form rapidly changed. In the blink of an eye, the huge black bear turned into a burly human man.

Lin An’an: “???”

Little biscuit drops to the ground.gif

The very next second, the silver wolf beside him also rose to his feet and, right before Lin An’an’s eyes, transformed into a human man.

Silver hair, golden eyes, deep-set features, and the somewhat fearsome scar slashing diagonally across his left brow, paired with wheat-colored skin tinged brown, gave him a fierce and imposing appearance.

Lin An’an was dumbstruck.

H-how could they transform too?!

The transformations of the bear and the wolf dealt Lin An’an an enormous shock, making him once again realize that this was a world entirely different from the one he had come from before.

The silver wolf in human form—namely Feng Wu—asked, “What is it?”

The burly man transformed from the black bear was called Xiong Yingjun. He had been looking at the little cub on the ground, but upon hearing the question, he immediately withdrew his gaze and said, “There’s supposed to be medicine going up for auction in C City.”

Feng Wu replied, “Even if there is, it’s fake medicine. If a cure for Alpha Syndrome had really been developed, there’s no way it would end up in some insignificant little C City on Sin Star.”

“That may be true,” Xiong Yingjun said, his expression grave. “But Fourth Brother is almost out of time.”
