Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Black Tiger Entrusts His Orphan

"A tiger? You mean that’s its cub? But isn’t she black? And she’s so big, how could she give birth to a white tiger?"

Yu Xiuxiu looked astonished.

Zhang Xiaoshan explained.

"If she mated with a white tiger, then it’s possible for her to have given birth to a white cub."

"Moreover, this black giant tiger obviously underwent mutations due to some external factors; nothing can be said for sure, but that’s definitely a white tiger cub."

"Whimper, whimper... "

While they were talking, the black giant tiger looked back at them, whining continuously with tears streaming from its eyes.

"She, she’s crying?"

Yu Xiuxiu found it unbelievable.

But Zhang Xiaoshan had long known that the creatures in these mountains were not lacking in intelligence, so he wasn’t surprised. He was just curious about why the black giant tiger was behaving this way.

"It seems to really be pleading something of us, let’s go have a look."

Zhang Xiaoshan led Yu Xiuxiu over to the large rock.

They approached the black giant tiger cautiously.

A mere two or three meters away.

They could keenly feel the oppressive presence of the black giant tiger’s massive body up close.

Yet at this moment, the black giant tiger showed no signs of aggression. Instead, she looked weak and pitiable.

"It really is a white tiger cub, but it’s so small, just like a little kitten. Look, look, Little White Tiger’s fur isn’t even fully grown, and its eyes aren’t open yet. It looks like it was just born?"

The sight of Little White Tiger instantly melted Xiuxiu’s heart, making her completely forget about the presence of the black giant tiger.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The black giant tiger tenderly licked Little White Tiger with its tongue, then picked up Little White Tiger in its mouth and turned to walk towards Zhang Xiaoshan.

At that moment, fear took hold of Yu Xiuxiu, and she involuntarily shrank back.

But the black giant tiger made no move to attack. Instead, she laid down and gently placed Little White Tiger by Zhang Xiaoshan’s feet.

"Whimper, whimper..."

The black giant tiger looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with eyes full of hot tears.

It seemed to be begging for something.

"You, you want me to raise your cub?"

A bold thought sprung to Zhang Xiaoshan’s mind, and he blurted it out.

"Whimper, whimper..."

The Black Tiger moaned lowly, its mournful sounds tinged with a trace of joy.

At the same time, its body seemed out of control as it collapsed to the ground.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Its breathing grew rapid and feeble.

It appeared to be on the brink of death.

Zhang Xiaoshan used his Heavenly Dragon’s Eye to check on the Black Tiger.

His face suddenly turned grave, and his expression became tinged with sorrow.

"Little Shan, what’s wrong with it?" Yu Xiuxiu also sensed that something was not right with the Black Tiger.

Zhang Xiaoshan explained.

"The Black Tiger is probably not going to make it. That’s why it specifically sought us out, wanting us to help raise its cub."

"What? It’s not going to make it, but its cub is still so young, it hasn’t even opened its eyes yet. This... Little Shan, isn’t your medical skill formidable? Can’t you save it?" Yu Xiuxiu’s sympathy overflowed, and she was on the verge of tears.

After a brief silence, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head.

"Although my medical skill is formidable, I can only bring back the vigor of life; resurrecting the dead is beyond me. The poison of the Red Training Snake King is too potent. It has completely corroded the Black Tiger’s organs. All its organs are necrotic. It’s probably because it’s worried about its cub that it’s been hanging on by sheer willpower, but now it’s at the end of its tether—no power, not even that of immortals, could save it."

In a sense, the Black Tiger should have been a corpse by the time it found them, hanging on solely out of its maternal instinct.

"But, but the cub is so young, if the Black Tiger dies, then..."

Tears started to stream down Xiuxiu’s face.

Zhang Xiaoshan sighed deeply, picked up Little White Tiger, who was not long born and hadn’t even opened its eyes, and cradled it in his arms. Then he reached out his other hand, stroked the forehead of the black giant tiger, and said softly,

"Our meeting must be fate. You led my sister-in-law and me out of a dire situation, which means I owe you a favor. Since you have asked something of me, I will grant your request."

"Rest easy and go. I’ll take good care of your child."

"Ao."

As Zhang Xiaoshan spoke these words, the black giant tiger that was barely clinging to life suddenly let out a loud howl that was deafening.

It managed to stand up once again.

The massive body astonishingly leaped into the air.

The first leap took it onto the large rock which it and its cub had been using as a den.

With the second leap, it jumped onto a three or four-meter-high stone platform.

There, it tugged with its mouth for a moment, then turned and jumped directly in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.

With a release,

a mysterious red plant fell at Zhang Xiaoshan’s feet.

"This is?"

Upon seeing the plant, Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes widened in shock, his face filled with amazement.

Incredible!
