Chapter 166 A Fateful Reunion
Chapter 166 A Fateful Reunion
Looking at the fisherman with a complicated expression, Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom were first puzzled, then suddenly realized, while Tiger Brother, who had just been woken up, had blank eyes.
Cang Nian, on the other hand, nodded calmly.
"Um... Pipi and I found the road back to Kangcheng yesterday."
Although the road was twisted and deformed by the earthquake, I could still recognize it; it was only about 30 kilometers away from Kangcheng.
So... thank you all, Tiger Lord, Mink Lord, Snake Lord, and Tree Lord, for taking care of me these past few days.
But Pipi and I have found our way home, it's time to go home.
Seeing that he had received Cang Nian's consent, the fisherman organized his thoughts, gritted his teeth, and said.
Hearing this, Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom felt uneasy, and Tiger Brother finally realized what was happening and was quite reluctant to part with them.
The tiger parents' anxiety did not stem from the fact that the fisherman had found a way back to Cannes and might bring danger to their family.
Rather, it's because, living with the fisherman and Pipi, Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom have come to regard them as members of the family, just like Little Sable and Black King Snake.
Now, they are going back.
Even though the fisherman had said it before, the news came as a complete surprise to the tiger parents.
Tiger Brother's reluctance stemmed from the fact that the fisherman had once seen the little sable struggling to massage Tiger Brother, so he took over the little sable's "job"!
As a human, the fisherman's hands were more dexterous, and he was much stronger than the little sable, which weighed over 20 kilograms, making Tiger Brother very happy.
Of course, Tiger Brother's reluctance stemmed mostly from its young age.
Less than two months after his birth, the fisherman and Pipi have been living in the Cangnian family's home for almost twenty days, which is a third of the time since Tiger Brother was born.
Such a comparison over time means that even a pair of underwear becomes familiar, let alone a relationship between a fisherman and his dog, Pipi, with whom he has developed a bond.
Cang Nian, however, had anticipated this.
When the angler came back last night, he was incredibly excited, as if he was suppressing something.
Moreover, after such a long time, Cang Nian felt that the fisherman was being overly cautious.
Both the human and the dog are Tier 2; one is all-around capable, and the other excels in both damage and control.
Now, although there are already some evolved creatures in their own territory that seem to be on the verge of evolving into Tier 2, it is not difficult for Fisherman and Pipi, two seasoned Tier 2 powerhouses, to find a way out.
Seeing the somewhat silent atmosphere, Pipi's mood was also quite low. Standing next to the fisherman, he hummed uneasily.
Pipi wasn't born much earlier than Cangnian and Hudi.
For Pipi, the concept of home isn't so clear, and he's not as eager to go home as the fisherman.
It does it simply because the owner will be happy about it, and it will be happy because the owner is happy. It's that simple.
It felt very happy during the time it spent with Cangnian's family.
It's very powerful, but it doesn't bully its tiger family.
It's a very, very big black king cobra that looks terrifying, but is also exceptionally gentle and even saved my life.
A mischievous little sable, yet it will treat itself to delicious food.
These are all Pipi's fondest memories, and it is extremely reluctant to part with them.
However, Pipi is very loyal. Since the fisherman wants to go back, it will steadfastly help him and stay with him.
"Tiger Lord, you never asked me before what new changes my [Laws] have undergone after eating pine nuts."
I haven't told you yet, but actually, I wanted to give you a surprise.
Seeing the silence, the fisherman spoke first, breaking the atmosphere that no one liked.
As he spoke, he opened his backpack and poured out a large pile of small beads of various colors, resembling glass marbles.
"Tiger Lord, the new change to my [Laws] is that I can store the laws and form them into these small balls."
When needed, simply grab the corresponding ball, and you'll instinctively know the effect of the law stored within it.
Then, one can use consciousness to guide the application of the law, deciding which targets to apply it to, whether to positively enhance or negatively weaken them.
It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple to use. Even Pipi could learn it, so it's definitely not difficult for you.
This includes enhancement, speed, strength, defense, armor penetration, healing, and endurance.
Black represents enhancement, white represents speed, red represents strength, brown represents defense, gold represents armor penetration, green represents healing, and blue represents endurance.
Lately, I've turned all my extra laws into these little balls, and I'm giving them all to you as my way of repaying you.
Although it certainly can't compare to the help you've given me, it's still a small token of my appreciation.
This is all I have that might be of some use to you; I'd feel bad if I didn't give you something in return.
The fisherman fiddled with the various colored balls on the ground, explaining them to Cang Nian earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian suddenly realized.
He said, "How come it took the fisherman so long to find his way back to Cannes?"
It turns out that these small balls, which contained various laws, were left for his family.
Cang Nian didn't count them, but he could roughly tell at a glance that there were at least two hundred of these small balls.
The fisherman can now release the law fifteen times in a short period of time.
He does nothing all day but release the law when he has a blue bar, and he can only release it sixty times.
If you exclude sleep time, that's only forty times a day.
Therefore, he has only released a maximum of 280 commands in this period, most of which were turned into small balls.
Therefore, his claim that the superfluous laws were made into small balls is less accurate than saying that the recent exploration was essentially Pipi's solo operation, while the fisherman was busy storing laws...
Cang Nian didn't know which was more valuable, those few pine nuts and the help his family had given him recently, or those two hundred or so small balls.
He also didn't want to know.
All he knew was that the fisherman was a good guy.
It wasn't for nothing that my family had been so kind to him.
"Um... Tiger, can Pipi and I go back now?"
Looking at the silent Cangnian and Tiger Dad, the fisherman felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that you think it's too useful and don't want to put it back?
Upon hearing this, Cangnian did not respond, but instead turned to look at Tiger Dad and the others.
He could understand the fisherman's desire to go home.
However, if Tiger Dad and the others insist on keeping him here, Cangnian wouldn't mind being a tiger who breaks his word.
Anyway, he's not human.
Seeing Cang Nian looking at him, Tiger Dad got up, walked over to the fisherman, and patted him on the shoulder with his paw.
Tiger Mom, on the other hand, rubbed her beard against the fisherman's cheek, as if trying to remember his scent.
Tiger wanted to throw a tantrum to keep the fisherman, but seeing Cang Nian's calm gaze, he shrank back and simply pounced on the fisherman and licked him.
Then, the little sable and the black king snake also expressed their reluctance to part in their own ways.
Pipi rubbed against everyone, her affection evident without needing to be expressed.
"Thank you all for your understanding, Tiger Lord, Mink Lord, and Snake Lord!"
Then we'll meet again someday!
If I can't make it in Cannes, I'll come back to you guys. Don't refuse me, my freeloader!
Having accepted the emotional expression from Cang Nian's family, the fisherman stood up, patted Pipi, and waved.
Upon hearing this, Tiger Dad nodded.
