The Youth Who Was Picked Up And Brought Back

Hehe, at this moment, it could be said that Shao Qian finally understood why this place didn't have any other magic beasts or humans. It wasn't that there weren't any. But, because they didn't dare intrude into the treants' territory, right?

Let it be known that although the treants doesn't kill those that intrudes into their territory, they would still whip the intruders with their branches and drive them out. You guys are gentle? Rubbish. In the entire Illusionary Mist Forest, you guys are the most brutal killer beasts and also won't give them a quick death.

"Apologies, I didn't intrude on purpose. I was being hunted." Shao Qian instantly decided to sell himself out as well-behaved. So long as he wouldn't be whipped or beaten, shamelessly acting cute wouldn't be a problem for him.

"Hunted?" The treant expressed his shock. This place was the centre of the Mist Forest, humans wouldn't dare to rush in arbitrarily.

"Yes, they are outside." Shao Qian pointed in direction he had came from." I kept running in the direction of this place, I'm not sure when I shook them off."

"Poor cub." The treant's branch gently stroked Shao Qian's black hair. "Rest assured, no one would dare enter this place."

"Mn. Treant grandpa, can I go down?" Shao Qian obediently nodded his head. "When I tried to jump off previously, it was because I was scared. Please do not take offence."

"Of course, no offence taken." In fact, the treant had been quickly converted by the cub's large, round and cute eyes. If he was able to transform, he would definitely place the youth in his embrace and carefully comfort him. Cough, he strayed from the topic.

"Which family's cub are you?" The treant still wasn't able to figure out who this smell belonged to. If it wasn't that his blood relations left the forest, then it would be that the cub's blood relations were dead.

"Cub?" Shao Qian was somewhat at a loss, but after figuring out that the 'cub' the treant spoke of probably had the same meaning as 'child' to humans, he hurriedly answered, "I'm the son of the Illusionary Mist Garrison's blacksmith.

"Illusionary Mist Garrison? Blacksmith?" At this moment, the treant's brow creased together. Of course he knew about the Illusionary Mist Garrison, but what was a blacksmith? In the Illusionary Mist Forest, it seemed like there wasn't any high-ranked magic beast called blacksmith.

"It's someone that forges." It was only then did Shao Qian realise that the treant probably never left the Illusionary Mist Forest before and would definitely not know what a blacksmith is, therefore, he explained what a blacksmith was to the treant.

In the end, the treant finally understood, although he was still somewhat confused as he rubbed Shao Qian's head. "Good child, your father shouldn't be a blacksmith. He is a magic beast of this forest, perhaps even one of the high-ranked magic beast."

Shao Qian was stunned. Such an important fact, why didn't he know about it? Moreover, what exactly was the original Jesse's species? Half-human and half-magic beast? He didn't remember transforming into a magic beast when he was doing the tasks though.

The treant looked at Shao Qian, whose appearance was similar to one that had received a strike. This child shouldn't have known that he was a magic beast. Moreover, this child previously said that he was being hunted. Presumably someone had found out this secret. Fortunately, the little cub was fast at running, if not perhaps he would have suffered the bad fate of being enslaved or even killed.

"Good child, don't be scared, treant grandpa will protect you from now on." Thinking of how the little cub ought not to have any parents, and furthermore wandering all by himself in the Illusionary Mist Forest, even the probability that he may be eaten by other magic beasts…

He felt more and more scared. Therefore, the 'gentle' treant decided to rear this little cub, at least until he could stand on his own strength.

And from that moment, the Illusionary Mist Forest gained another being that could not be provoked, other than the treants. All day, that cub teased cats and provoked dogs, offending the whole Illusionary Mist Forest. Chickens could fly, and dogs could jump. You don't say, you're unable to discipline him? Correct, you're unable to discipline him. Even if you wanted to howl at him, it was still impossible.

If supposedly, you howled at him, you would attract a large area of treants' attacks to you. The group of treants' movements were slow, that wasn't wrong. However, they were extremely good at ambusing…

Furthermore, this group of treants also held grudges…

After receiving countless of lessons that were paid for in blood, the high-ranked magic beasts within the Illusionary Mist Forest tacitly approved of Shao Qian's existence. It was to the extent where so long as he didn't kill their cubs, whatever fun he had would be ignored. They had that kind of disregarding attitude…

This kind of tolerant and disregarding attitude was due to Shao Qian using his soul energy and gradually eliminating the blood vessels that belonged to the human species within his body. And when he transformed into a pure-black baby panther, there was a change.

At first, it was simply in front of the treants'' that they accepted this offspring of a deceased high-rank magic beast. However, when they saw Shao Qian's transformation, this changed. Don't just look at how fierce the magic beasts were on ordinary days. Regarding the whole Illusionary Mist Forest, there were rarely any high-ranked magic beast's cub. It was to the extent where a cub holding its fluffy head up high and howling in a child-like manner was impossible to not like.

Previously, if the high-ranked magic beasts could avoid him, then they would do so. If they couldn't avoid, then they would ignore. But now, they would bring over some 'little presents' for him time to time. For example, the magic beasts outside would contribute human's literature, clothes and even once, a rare space ring was brought over.

Another example was, when they hunted tender meat, they would also drop by and gift some of it to him. The increased coming and going of magic beasts made the quiet-loving treants irritable. Time and time again, they wanted to whip these shameless magic beasts that wanted to get close to the little cub. However, it seemed like their actions weren't of any use and the magic beasts wasn't whipped by them, on the contrary, after hiding for so long, the speed of these high-ranked magic beasts wasn't slow…

It had to be said. Shao Qian really seemed like a stranded fish placed back into water [1] in the Illusionary Mist Forest. Even when he built his home on another tree later, he would still have at least two treants by his side constantly protecting him.

However, a calm and tranquil life would always be broken. Shao Qian hadn't thought that it would be this quick though. Transforming, Shao Qian held the prey he had hunted in his mouth and ran back, it was just that he wasn't able to return to where he lived before he heard a cry for help in the near distant.

Shao Qian was immediately stunned. This place was already very close to the center and most people wouldn't venture in so deep, so why would he hear a person's shout for help in such a dangerous place? Furthermore, judging from the voice, it was a young child?

It couldn't be help but to be said that, perhaps it was due to Shao Qian's identity being that of a feline animal this time, and he was infected with some natural characteristics of feline animals. For example, how his curiosity would forever triumph over his intellect.

As Shao Qian approached that place, he turned back into his human form. Taking out a piece of fur from the space ring he wore on his neck, he wrapped it around his waist.

What? No one saw? The most the entire Illusionary Mist Forest had was all kinds of magic beasts with varying sizes. The magic beasts had always felt that those human clothes were a nuisance, a restriction. Therefore, towards Shao Qian who was the only one who would wear this mere piece of cloth and run around, no one felt that it was weird, even feeling that the bare youth whose body was without any fur was amusing.

Shao Qian channeled his soul power into his feet and ran like the wind. When he saw a magic beast advancing on the already seriously injured teenager, he issued a threatening growl. Although the growl sounded very immature, the magic beast still stopped its action, glancing towards the direction where the growl came from. When it saw the cub with a piece of animal hide wrapped around him, it let out a sound before turning to leave.

Shao Qian watched the magic beast leave and nodded his head to express his gratitude, before hurriedly running to the teenager's side. His clothes was already mostly dyed with blood and there was a deep wound, until bones could be seen, on his chest.　　

Shao Qian hastily took out the healing potion from within the ring, carefully holding up the teen's head and pouring it into his mouth. Luckily, there were some healing potions in the space, and also fortunately, the potions in the space ring didn't have such thing like shelf life. If not, then he would really need to use a lot of power if he wished to save this person.

After dealing with the wound on the teenager's body, Shao Qian began contemplating on how to bring the person back. This person's chest had an injury, so he definitely couldn't carry him on his back. Could it be that he had to drag him back?

Shao Qian reached out and rubbed the teenager's back. The back of his clothes were also ragged and he was even able to feel the stickiness of the bloodstains. Dragging him back definitely wasn't possible. After throwing ideas back and forth, Shao Qian finally decided on the princess carry.

Channeling his soul energy to his arms and legs, he lifted the person up before hastily running towards where he lived. After arriving at his destination in a rush, Shao Qian looked up anxiously at his treehouse. On normal days, he would climb up the tree vine. But now that he was carrying a person, what should he do?
