Inside the cave.

"Squeak squeak~"

Xiao Longzhan was sitting in the middle of the cave, holding a big apple and eating it, when suddenly a monkey's cry came from outside the cave.

"Um?"

Xiao Longzhan paused in his apple-eating motion, quickly got up, walked to the cave entrance, and crouched down to ask the mutated white-faced monkey guarding the door.

"My sister is here?"

The mutated white-faced monkey is a type of monkey with a ring of white fur around its face. It is not large, and when standing, it only reaches Xiao Longzhan's shoulder.

Xiao Longzhan thought it looked interesting, so he asked it to guard the entrance to his cave.

At this moment, the mutated white-faced monkey huddled beside the cave entrance, using the surrounding weeds to conceal its form.

After hearing Xiao Longzhan's words, he quickly lowered his eyes and nodded.

Xiao Longzhan had instructed it that if it saw a man and a woman coming together, it should immediately inform him.

"Okay, I got it. You'd better hurry up and leave, don't let my cheap brother-in-law see you!"

Xiao Longzhan waved to the mutated white-faced monkey and finished the apple in his hand in a few bites.

Then he tossed the apple core aside, stuck his little bottom out, lay down among the weeds, and looked in the direction the mutated white-faced monkey had just pointed.

When he saw that the man and woman were Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an, he quickly got up, turned around and walked back to the cave.

"Your Majesty, Little Fox, go and stay next to that ugly spider."

Xiao Longzhan whispered to the King and the little blood fox, but didn't explain anything else.

Anyway, even if they told their cheap brother-in-law that he was a dragon in front of him, he wouldn't understand.

Upon hearing his words, the king and the little blood fox immediately stood beside the corpse of the mutated white vine spider.

Xiao Longzhan looked down at his clothes and shoes again.

It's dirty and broken enough.

The exposed skin was also dirty and dark.

He looks like a pitiful homeless child.

He turned and ran to the innermost part of the cave, hugged his legs, squatted down in a corner, and waited quietly.

"Waaaaah?"

The little blood fox stretched out its tiny paw and poked the king, its small head filled with great confusion.

Did Master and Brother Long Zhan have a fight?

Otherwise, why would Brother Long Zhan not only not go out after hearing that his master had arrived, but also hide?

Hiss—

The king shook his head at the little blood fox. "They're probably playing a game called hide-and-seek."

The little blood fox seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

It turns out that the game of first rushing into the mountains and forests to fight and get themselves all dirty, and then hiding in the cave to wait for their owner, is hide-and-seek.

The little blood fox looked down at its slightly broken and bleeding paws, then shook its head violently.

This game is really not fun.

The fox will die!

While the three little ones were preoccupied with their own thoughts inside the cave, Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing had already started climbing up the mountain.

"cracking!!!"

Suddenly, a cry rang out through the sky, sharp and high-pitched, with extremely strong penetrating power, making people's eardrums hurt.

Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing both looked up at the sky at the same time.

Through the gaps in the intersecting branches, the two saw a gray shadow rapidly swooping down from the sky, heading straight for the cave.

Where it passed, strong winds raged, leaves fluttered, and grass and trees lay flat.

Some smaller stones tumbled down the slope under the strong wind.

Jiang Nian'an's pupils dilated. "Brother Chen, let's go up quickly!"

"Um!"

Shen Nanxing suddenly increased the speed at which he swung his knife and chopped down the plants blocking his path.

The two raced upwards at breakneck speed amidst a trail of afterimages from the blades.

Xiao Longzhan, who was inside the cave, also heard the commotion outside.

He quickly got up and ran to the cave entrance, with the Great King and the Little Blood Fox following him on either side.

Three pairs of alert eyes simultaneously looked up at the sky.

They saw a giant gray eagle with a wingspan of at least five meters rushing towards them.

The eagle's sharp, hooked beak and its incredibly sharp talons reflected a cold, icy glint in the sunlight.

The eagle eyes that were fixed on them shone with a fierce and violent light.

Xiao Longzhan stared at the gray giant eagle, his little fists clenched, and a fierce fighting spirit rose in his eyes.

How could a mighty little green dragon be afraid of a mere ugly eagle?

That's absolutely impossible!

"Hiss~"

The king's pupils dilated as he watched the giant gray eagle rushing towards them. His snake tail gently wrapped around Xiao Longzhan's waist, pulling him backward.

Intuition told them that this eagle was not easy to deal with, so they decided to avoid confrontation and wait for their masters to arrive.

"Your Majesty, don't pull me! I'm not afraid of it!"

Xiao Longzhan pushed away the tail that the Great King was wrapped around his waist, intending to rush out.

Hiss—

The king shook his head and stubbornly pulled Xiaolongzhan back into the cave.

Xiao Longzhan had enough strength to break free from the king, but he was afraid that forcibly breaking free would hurt the king.

With a sigh, he followed the king's lead and retreated into the cave.

'Bang!'

Just as the man and the two beasts retreated back into the cave, the giant gray eagle crashed straight into them.

Fortunately, the entrance wasn't big enough; the gray giant eagle could only squeeze its head in before it couldn't go any further.

'Clang! Clang! Clang!'

The gray giant eagle let out a sharp cry at Xiao Longzhan and the other two.

It thrashed about, trying its best to squeeze in.

In its eyes, Xiaolongzhan and the other two are like three delicious and energizing snacks.

"What are you yelling about!"

Xiao Longzhan slammed his fist into the stone wall beside him, and several basin-sized stones fell to the ground.

He grabbed a piece and hurled it at the giant gray eagle, yelling, "Ugly, stupid eagle that can't even speak a word!"

He couldn't understand what it was yelling about!

'Bang!'
