A vigorous figure jumped out from beside Joel, with a perfect streamlined figure, dark markings and yellow skin, and a pair of heterochromatic eyes that emitted a captivating light in the darkness.
Joel pinched his thigh hard. This was actually a tiger. It was much larger than the sickly tiger he saw in the zoo in his previous life. The power contained in his body was far beyond what ordinary wizards could do.
rival.
The tiger flew out at an unimaginable speed, only an afterimage flashed out, and the night wind blew like a sharp blade, causing pain on Joel's cheek.
The tiger pounced on the unicorn corpse, looked around at the animals that also coveted the unicorn corpse, raised its head and let out a roar.
The roar shook the mountain forest like thunder, carrying threats and warnings from the creatures at the top of the food chain. Those animals had no choice but to retreat into their nests. They did not dare to compete with this powerful king of the forest for food.
The cold sweat that had just broken out on Joel's back was blown away by the late autumn evening wind, causing goosebumps to appear on his skin.
He didn't dare to move.
It is normal for animals in the Muggle forest to be afraid of tigers, but the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest are also afraid of this tiger, which has to make Joel feel more vigilant.
He didn't want to provoke the tiger, so he planned to take action after the tiger had eaten the unicorn's meat and left. Tigers didn't eat unicorn fur anyway.
But the tiger's actions made him panic. He grabbed the unicorn's skin in his mouth and dragged it towards the dense forest area, as if he was trying to bring the unicorn corpse back to his cave.
This is not enough to disable the Mountain King!
Joel looked at his body. The Disillusionment Curse perfectly covered his body. He consumed the magic power in his body and cast another Disappearance Curse on himself. Joel bent his waist and followed the tiger forward.
Deep in the Forbidden Forest, tall trees blocked the sky and blocked the bright moonlight. Joel walked cautiously in the forest where he couldn't even see his fingers.
He didn't dare to make any noise for fear of attracting the attention of the tiger 10 meters in front of him.
One by one, he stepped on the rotten leaves covered with thick dust, and walked forward step by step until he reached the outside of a cave on a hill.
The cave was very secluded, and the entrance, which was less than two meters high, was camouflaged with dead branches and leaves.
The tiger held the corpse in his mouth and looked around carefully, not even behind him. Joel could feel the flashing eyes of different colors passing over his body at night, and that familiar feeling of stiffness came over him again.
Joel felt relieved when he saw the tiger didn't move. It couldn't see through the phantom spell. This stiffness must be caused by the fear in Joel's heart.
The tiger didn't notice anything strange, so he carried the unicorn body into the cave with An Xin in his mouth, and Joel quickly followed behind.
It was so humid in the cave that Joel felt like water was dripping from the top of the cave.
The cave was filled with piles of bones, and Joel's heart trembled when he saw them.
The tiger placed the unicorn carcass on a slightly flat rock, then wandered around the cave, growling lowly.
Two slightly immature roars echoed in the cave, and a small tiger about the size of a dog jumped out from the depths of the cave and nuzzled up to the big tiger.
Joel had no intention of paying attention to the intimate interaction between the tiger and his son. He took two steps towards the unicorn corpse while the tiger was not paying attention.
The little tiger seemed to have sensed something, and raised his head with a swish. His heterochromatic pupils shone in the darkness, and he bared his teeth towards where Joel was. The facial features on his palm-sized face were tightly wrinkled, and a pair of tiger teeth were exposed.
come out.
Joel quickly stopped.
But the big tiger had already noticed something was wrong with his child. He looked around and found nothing. The unicorn's body was still lying quietly on the stone.
The tiger's roar was like a sports car motor, and every vibration seemed to hit Joel's heart.
Can this little tiger see me? Joel was so panicked, but he still forced himself to calm down, because he knew that he couldn't move now. As long as he moved a step, the tiger would definitely find that the Disappearance Curse could not cover him all the time.
The body shape will be slightly exposed when moving.
The little tiger crawled forward two steps, glared at Joel twice and roared twice.
There was a humanized expression of confusion on the big tiger's face, but it still waved its paw forward at the urging of its own children.
The claws struck at Joel's body with a cracking sound.
Joel took a deep breath, closed his eyes and remained motionless.
The tiger's claws were only three inches away from Joel's body, and the wind brought by the claws stung Joel's arm, causing him slight pain.
Joel held the breath in his chest without daring to release it. The tiger's bestiality was released unabashedly, with a strong fishy smell that made people sick to smell it.
What a risk!
The little tiger sniffed the ground with a very puzzled expression, and glanced around where Joel was with his heterochromatic eyes brighter than his father's.
Nothing was found.
The father had impatiently jumped on the rock and growled lowly, beckoning it to come up and share the delicious food.
The little tiger quickly jumped on the stone, took the raw meat thrown by his father and devoured it hungrily.
Joel watched the two tigers carrying him on their backs to enjoy tonight's supper, and the breath hanging in his chest finally relaxed slowly.
There were two paths before him: wait here for the tiger and his son to finish their supper and fall asleep on their stomachs, or pluck a few hairs from the unicorn carcass while their backs were turned to him.
He chose the first option without hesitation. When faced with the fear of his life, Joel always followed his heart.
Joel was very tolerant, and it was no big deal to be in an extremely humid cave. He watched the tiger and his son stick out their buttocks and feast, and the sound of chewing bones could not be heard.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the water vapor above the cave gathered into drops and fell on him, dyeing the black robe sleeves darker.
Joel tried to keep his breathing very low to reduce his presence in this cave.
The tiger ate very quickly, which relieved Joel from worrying about the expiration date of the Disguise Curse.
The little tiger took one last look at the place where Joel was. There was really nothing strange about it. He just shook his head and followed his father into the depths of the cave.
Joel continued to stay where he was and didn't move.
Sure enough, after a while, the tiger and his son jumped out and walked around the cave again and again, as if they were digesting food or patrolling their territory.
I have to say that it would be quite embarrassing for a majestic tiger to live in a cave like this...
Joel's heart suddenly couldn't stop falling. If the tiger was so powerful, why would he live in such a damp and airtight cave?
He looked towards the distant mountains outside the cave, which also belonged to the Forbidden Forest. Under the cover of the night, they looked like a man-eating beast. There were unknown monsters and monsters hidden inside...
