"roar--"

Seeing that they didn't move, the tiger roared and charged towards them at full speed.

[Mom, why are they releasing virtual creatures so early today?]

This was so sudden! They're getting more ruthless every year.

[Oh no, if I get hurt by the tiger, I'll be eliminated. Am I going to have to say goodbye to Sister Black Bear so soon?]

【I don't think so. I believe Mu Qingyun can definitely defeat that tiger. We'll see.】

[Another bet? Did you guys keep your promises from last time? Still urging others to place bets? You're just a bunch of internet trolls.]

"Back off!" Mu Qingyun shouted coldly, throwing the grilled fish in her hand to Su Hefan Xuanye, drawing a dagger from her waist, and charging at the tiger.

"Mu Qingyun!" Seeing Mu Qingyun rushing forward with a dagger, Su shouted in shock. The blue light in his right hand appeared and disappeared as he hesitated.

I hesitated whether or not to reveal myself at this time.

But Mu Qingyun ignored his shouts. With a dagger at her side and her right hand unleashing its fire power, she threw a ball of flame at the tiger's face.

"Roar—" The tiger dodged to the side, then raised its two front paws and stomped down on her.

With her inner strength surging, she gripped the dagger tightly, turned her body to the side, and thrust the dagger into the tiger's head.

The tiger let out a miserable cry, but did not die immediately.

She flipped her body to the left, released the dagger, and her inner strength surged in her left hand, gathering in her palm. She clenched her fist and punched hard into the tiger's eye.

With its eye injured, the tiger was completely enraged. It thrashed about, trying to throw Mu Qingyun off and stomp on her a few more times.

But Mu Qingyun would not let it have its way. Using the force the tiger gave her, she flipped herself forward, grabbed the dagger, pulled it out, and plunged it fiercely into the tiger's neck.

After doing all this, she quickly used her momentum, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and flipped backward.

The tiger struggled for a while, then fell silent. Its massive body remained still for a moment before suddenly turning into golden, sandy matter that drifted away in the wind.

It's done.

Mu Qingyun let out a soft breath. She had fought tigers before, but at least she had a spear and a longsword as weapons. Today was the first time she had fought a ferocious beast like a tiger with only a dagger.

The live stream was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly a wave of comments erupted, with the word "awesome" flooding the screen and taking up Mu Qingyun's entire screen.

"You, you're so strong?"

Su and Fan Xuanye were both holding grilled fish, staring blankly at each other, looking incredibly comical.

"A piece of cake," Mu Qingyun replied expressionlessly, but her hand quietly went to her waist.

When the tiger charged around, it hit her back, and it's still throbbing.

But she was used to not showing her pain in front of others, so even if she was in excruciating pain, she remained calm as if she were not injured at all.

[Holy crap, that's a piece of cake! My god, Mu Qingyun, you're my god!]

[Is that awesome?]

Is this really a power that humans can possess? Is he even human?

That's so cool! I think he could rival the First Commander.

[What nonsense are you spouting? He doesn't even deserve to be compared to the First Commander. Mu Qingyun's fans are shameless; after putting down the Princess, they're now trying to piggyback on our First Commander's fame.]

[Mu Qingyun's fans are so shameless!]

[I can tolerate being called "Princess," but I can't tolerate being called "First Commander." I'm turning against Mu Qingyun for life.]

[How dare Mu Qingyun speak ill of our First Commander? Does she have a death wish?]

[Um, Mu Qingyun didn't mention the Commander at all, so why are you all getting so excited?]

"Mind your own business! I just don't like him, so I'm going to yell at him!"

...

"So what's going on? The virtual creatures have been released now?" Fan Xuanye frowned. This should be a serious time, but the meat in his hand was so delicious that he couldn't resist taking a bite.

Mmm, it smells delicious.

Take another bite.

"I don't know." Su stared coldly at the spot where the tiger had disappeared, a hint of annoyance flashing between her brows. "I'll have to be more careful in the future."

When his gaze fell on Mu Qingyun, the coldness instantly vanished, and he handed her the fish, saying, "Eat grilled fish."

"You guys eat first." Mu Qingyun shook her head, placed her hand on her waist, and tried to control her breathing to relieve the pain in her waist.

"Where's Black Bear?" She looked up and glanced around, but only saw Fan Xuan Ye and Su; Xiong Ruo You was nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know, where is she?" Su shrugged innocently, turned her head and called out, "Xiong Ruoyou!"

"Hmm, I'm here!"

As the voice came, the three of them turned their heads at the same time. Behind a small rock, Xiong Ruoyou cautiously peeked out a pair of bear ears. "Where's the tiger? Where's the tiger?"

"Killed him." Fan Xuanye said calmly.

Killed? Killed?

Xiong Ruoyou stared wide-eyed incredulously, poked her head out from behind the rock, and dashed up to them. "Who killed him?"

“Mu Qingyun.” Fan Xuanye pointed at Mu Qingyun.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ruoyou shouted in surprise and admiration, and the next second she ran to Mu Qingyun, lay down on the ground, and performed a full prostration.

"Brother Mu, from now on you're my brother. Once we're out of here, you'll be the general manager of my family's security company."

Mu Qingyun: ……

Fan Xuanye: ...

Su: Pfft.

"Get up and go eat fish." Mu Qingyun glanced at her lazily, raised her chin to signal her to hurry up and eat fish, and then circulated her internal energy through her meridians.

After eating the fish, no one wanted to discuss the tiger. Mu Qingyun was recuperating, Xiong Ruoyou was playing with the rocks after eating her fill, and Fan Xuanye was making the most of every minute to cultivate.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Su raised an eyebrow, turned off the live stream, and slowly walked out of the cave.

"Beep beep beep—"

Holding a small communicator, Su's eyes were filled with coldness as she waited for the other end to answer.

"Hello, Qi Luo, what's wrong?" The communicator connected, and a gentle male voice came from the other end.

"What's wrong? These virtual creatures were only allowed to be released a month later, so why are they already appearing on the island?" Su asked coldly, her eyes full of impatience.

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the communicator was visibly taken aback. "What did you say? What virtual creature?"

"Go watch my live stream yourself." Su rubbed his temples in annoyance.

The other end of the line went quiet; they must have gone to watch the live stream. After a while, a voice came through: "I'm sorry, Qi Luo, this was an accident. I'll go find out what happened right now."

Before Su could speak, the other side said, "Qi Luo, stop playing around there. Our top priority right now is to find someone with plant-based abilities. Otherwise, we won't even survive until we reach the enemy planet and the Zerg."
