Xiao Ming's heart melted when she saw the cute way that little white tiger was touching her hand, but she quickly calmed herself down.
That was because she could see from the eyes of the little white tiger that there was something that it needed from her.
Based on the look that was in its eyes, it was clear that whatever it was, it was very urgent.
So she gave a nod to the little white tiger and waited to see what it would do.
The little white tiger had a surprised look before suddenly turning around to run off. However, as it was running off, it would look back from time to time to look at Xiao Ming, as if it was seeing if she was following him.
Xiao Ming had hesitated for a second since she had no idea what the little white tiger wanted, but she followed it right after.
And if Xiao Ming was going, that meant that everyone else was going.
Though they had no idea if this was a trap or not, since Xiao Ming was going, they had no choice but to go.
However, there was also a part of them that wanted to help this little white tiger.
They didn't know what it was, but it did seem like the little white tiger was in distress.
After following the little white tiger for a bit, they arrived at a cave.
The moment that they arrived at this cave, they immediately recognized that something was wrong.
Well, it actually wasn't hard to notice that something was wrong since there were clear signs indicating this. There were spirit beast corpses that were scattered all over the area around the cave.
There was blood and holes in the ground all over, showing that there had been a fierce fight in this place.
Though they had no idea who had actually been fighting, it was clear that there was something that had been fighting over something.
However, even though there were these signs of fighting, the little white tiger didn't hesitate at all to run towards the cave. It moved through the various corpses that were on the ground until...
One of the corpses suddenly started to move.
It seemed that this was a spirit beast that wasn't dead yet.
It was a crane that had suddenly raised its long neck to look at the little white tiger.
The little white tiger froze as it was surprised and scared by what it considered a corpse suddenly raising its head.
That was the opening that the crane needed.
As soon as it saw this little white tiger freeze, it stabbed down with its beak at the little white tiger. The look in its eyes seemed to be filled with hatred, as if there was some kind of grudge between the little white tiger and this crane.
But before it could stab the little white tiger, there was a sword that suddenly came swinging down at the crane's neck.
This time, Xiao Ming didn't hesitate in following the little white tiger.
As soon as the crane raised its head, she was already moving forward to catch up to the little white tiger.
What it cared about was the large pure white tiger that was lying there behind this pile of spirit beast corpses.
This pure white tiger's fur was covered in blood and wounds, showing that it was in critical shape. Adding in the fact that it wasn't moving at all, it was clear that it didn't seem like this white tiger was still alive.
But the appearance of the white tiger was very similar to the little white tiger.
They were most likely parent and child.
The little white tiger jumped out of Xiao Ming's hands when it saw the white tiger in this shape and it ran over without any hesitation. After reaching the white tiger's side, it started nudging the white tiger in a panicked manner, trying to stir it as best as it could.
It didn't seem like it was working until...
The white tiger suddenly opened its eyes to look at the little white tiger.
The little white tiger was overjoyed as it licked the white tiger's face, but the white tiger didn't look that happy.
It was happy to see its child, but it was sad because it knew that it was about to die.
There was no way that it would be able to recover from these wounds, so it knew that death was inevitable. But it was still happy to see that its child had survived.
After licking the little white tiger once, it looked up at Xiao Ming and the rest that were standing at the entrance of the cave.
The white tiger had a certain amount of intelligence and knew that Xiao Ming's group was the one that saved its child. So the white tiger gave a nod of gratitude towards Xiao Ming's group before nudging the little white tiger towards them as if it was saying...
"Please take care of my child."
With its last bit of strength spent on this, the white tiger's head suddenly dipped and its eyes closed.
The little white tiger panicked once more seeing this and it started nudging the white tiger all over again.
This time, the white tiger didn't respond.
The little white tiger eventually realized what happened and then it raised its head to give a wail of anguish.
Tears streaked down its eyes and it even seemed like it was about to start coughing out blood with how much it was wailing.
Eventually, it was able to calm down.
It was only then that Xiao Ming came forward to reach out towards the little white tiger.
However, the little white tiger suddenly turned around and bit Xiao Ming's hand.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang wanted to come forward to help, but Xiao Ming raised her hand to stop them all while still looking at the little white tiger.
The little white tiger clamped its mouth on her hand for a bit before slowly releasing it and looking up at her with a lost look. There was an apologetic look in its eyes as well as it realized what it had done, so it licked the part of her hand that was bleeding after it bit her.
Xiao Ming didn't mind this as she just looked at the little white tiger and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
The little white tiger looked up at Xiao Ming before looking back at the white tiger again.
When it turned back, the little white tiger gave a slow nod.
