Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Mutated Animals

Hidden in the shadows, Bai Chaosi and Ye Lüqi were also surprised. To them, these low-level Crawling Crab Beasts were no better than bugs, yet Shen Yue wanted to eat them?

Shen Yue used the basket she’d brought along to gather all the crabs, and she even slipped a few into her Spiritual Spring.

After all, these green crabs and swimming crabs were quite large, much bigger than any she had seen before.

’The good thing about this Beast World is that everything grows a bit bigger. If I keep some in the Spiritual Spring, I’ll have something to eat wherever I go.’

On the way back, the cubs all ran happily ahead.

Shen Yue followed behind, planning the steps for mixing mud to plaster the walls when she got back.

Although the bamboo house was sturdy, it wasn’t insulated. She had to mix mud with dry grass and plaster a layer on the walls to make it windproof and cold-proof.

Her mind was busy, planning to build the perfect winter home for herself and the cubs.

But then—

Her vision suddenly went dark, and a scene instantly appeared in her mind’s eye.

In the vision, Er Bao and Dabao were hopping and skipping toward a massive tree, one so large it would probably take more than a dozen people to wrap their arms around it.

But just then, the ground beneath the tree suddenly cracked.

As if a sinkhole had opened, the ground gave way beneath the two little ones, and they fell.

Then the ground slammed shut again. She didn’t even have time to jump in and save them.

She desperately screamed for them from above.

The sounds of her children crying from below grew fainter and fainter.

She was heartbroken. No matter how frantically she dug at the earth with shovels and tools, she couldn’t get Dabao and Er Bao back.

The other cubs beside her were wailing in terror.

Her heart ached so much she couldn’t breathe, and she dropped to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

But it was all to no avail! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

When the vision vanished and her sight cleared, Shen Yue’s face was pale. She whipped her head to look at Dabao and Er Bao, who were still hopping and skipping ahead.

The two little ones were running and playing with their other brothers, so lively and adorable.

But the next second.

She saw a sight that made her heart stop.

Just a few meters ahead of the cubs stood a colossal, towering tree.

It was the exact same tree from her vision.

Its lush, dark green branches crisscrossed and drooped downward, like the open arms of a giant beast waiting silently for the group of approaching little ones, ready to swallow them whole.

Shen Yue’s heartbeat stuttered.

She screamed in horror:

"Stop!! My babies."

She sprinted frantically toward them:

"Don’t go over there, Dabao, Er Bao!"

"It’s dangerous!"

Hearing her voice, the cubs stopped their playing and turned to look back at her:

"Hurry up, female mother!"

"You’re so slow!"

Shen Yue’s pupils constricted. By a cruel twist of fate, all the cubs were now standing right under the tree.

Originally, it was just Dabao and Er Bao, but now all the cubs were standing there together.

Shen Yue shrieked in terror:

"Don’t stand under the tree, get away!!"

"All of you, get away! Get away from that tree!"

Hidden in the shadows, Mu Silin and the others frowned at Shen Yue’s sudden panic and looked toward the base of the tree.

At that moment, before Shen Yue’s words had even faded.

The ground beneath the cubs’ feet suddenly gave way, and a horrifying chasm split the earth.

The dark fissure was like the maw of an abyss, its bottom impossible to see.

The cubs all cried out at once.

And plunged downward.

"Female mother!!"

It all happened too fast, almost at the same instant as Shen Yue’s scream.

From the shadows, Ye Lüqi and the others watched with wide eyes, unable to react in time as the seven cubs fell.

Mu Silin was the fastest to react.

He flung out his spiritual power, wrapping vines around two of them.
