Chapter 447 Farewell

Just as Su Ming and Alice were enjoying the barbecue by the campfire, the tiger who had previously given up was not to be outdone and slowly walked to Su Ming. It lowered its head, gently swept its tail, and rubbed its huge body against Su Ming's legs like a spoiled cat, as if asking him for something.

Su Ming looked down at the tiger and couldn't help but smile: "Do you still want to eat?" The tiger's eyes flashed with anticipation, and it gently licked Su Ming's hand with its tongue, looking particularly intimate. It made a low "woohoo" sound again, with a flattering look on its face.

Alice couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene: "Wow, this tiger is really good at being spoiled! You are really liked by animals, even tigers are obedient to you."

Su Ming shook his head and looked at the tiger helplessly: "Okay, since you want to try it too, I'll give you one." After he finished speaking, he took a bunch of freshly grilled meat skewers from the fire and carefully handed them to the tiger.

The tiger smelled the aroma of the barbecue, moved closer excitedly, gently rolled up the skewer of meat with his tongue, and took a bite. It squinted its eyes and savored the flavor of the meat carefully. After eating a few bites, the tiger actually purred comfortably, as if it was very satisfied with the barbecue.

"It seems that you are also conquered by my cooking skills." Su Ming smiled and touched the tiger's head.

While eating, the tiger kept rubbing his head against Su Ming's arm, obviously very dependent on him. The huge beast showed an unimaginable contrast at this moment. It was no longer the ferocious predator before, but like a "big cat" eager for food and care, completely surrendering to Su Ming's feet.

Alice watched the interaction between the tiger and Su Ming and couldn't help joking: "You are really an all-round child. You even made the tiger a pet."

The little girl rolled over with laughter beside him and said happily: "Brother Su Ming is really amazing. Even the tiger loves the barbecue you make!"

In the next few days, the tiger became a loyal "travel companion" of Su Ming and his party. It always followed them silently, as if it had regarded itself as a member of the team. Whenever Alice and Su Ming began to worry about food, the tiger would always disappear quietly in the depths of the rainforest, and then come back with all kinds of fresh prey, as if it was a diligent "supplier".

Every time it brought food, it would first rub Su Ming's legs with its head, as if asking for credit and looking forward to his praise. Su Ming watched the tiger always bring all kinds of prey, sometimes fat hares, sometimes pheasants in the rainforest, and occasionally a few rare rainforest birds. The ingredients were fresh and rich every time.

"This tiger has really become our hunter." Alice looked at the prey the tiger brought every day and couldn't help but joked, "I've never seen a tiger so conscientious and so rich in food before."

When the tiger heard Alice's words, it just growled, as if it "agreed" with her words, and then continued to walk to Su Ming and rubbed him, appearing particularly intimate.

"You are really sensible." Su Ming smiled and touched the tiger's head, and the tiger squinted his eyes, as if he felt a sense of satisfaction, and his tail shook gently.

After walking in the rainforest for a few days, Alice finally couldn't help it. She felt the discomfort of sweat and mud sticking to her skin, and looked around, trying to find a suitable stream for her to wash.

Finally, a clear stream appeared in front of her, with a gentle flow, surrounded by emerald green plants, and the rocks by the river were also polished smooth and round by the years.

"Great, I finally found a place to take a bath!" Alice said happily, and then turned to look at Su Ming.

Su Ming was squatting on the side, poking the ground with a branch, and the little girl was floating around him, teasing him. Hearing Alice's voice, Su Ming raised his head and looked at her in confusion: "You want to take a bath here?"

"Of course," Alice said with a smile, "I've been walking for so many days, my body is sticky, I can't stand it if I don't take a bath."

After that, she started to take off her coat and prepared to walk to the river. Su Ming's cheeks were slightly red, and he turned around immediately: "You...you are going to take a bath here? I...Is it inconvenient for me!"

Seeing this, Alice laughed: "Why are you shy? You are just a little kid, do you still care about this? Besides, I didn't let you see it."

"That's...that's not appropriate..." Su Ming still felt embarrassed, and his heartbeat accelerated a little.

Alice didn't care, continued to take off her vest, and said easily: "What are you afraid of? You are only a few years old, and you don't know anything. Even if you see it, it's no big deal." She walked to the river and planned to sit down and soak in the water.

At this moment, Alice suddenly stopped, turned to look at Su Ming, and smiled mischievously: "By the way, please help me wipe my back while I wash my back."

Su Ming was so scared that he waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, that's not possible! I... I can't do this kind of thing."

Alice shrugged and said indifferently: "What's the matter, you just help me wipe my back, I won't eat you. Besides, washing the back is a technical job, anyway, you have to learn it." After she finished speaking, she smiled and blinked at Su Ming.

Although Su Ming felt embarrassed, Alice's attitude of not taking him seriously made him at a loss for a moment. He muttered something, and kept telling himself in his heart, "I'm just a child, it's no big deal", so he finally walked to the river, picked up a towel, and prepared to help Alice wipe her back.

He moved carefully, with an unnatural expression on his face, as if he was afraid of doing something wrong. Alice, on the other hand, seemed to be completely unconcerned, soaking in the water comfortably, enjoying the coolness of the river water and Su Ming's help.

"Hey, little guy, don't be so nervous," Alice turned her head and looked at him, and couldn't help laughing, "You are more embarrassed than me!"

"I... I'm fine." Su Ming tried to relax himself and responded awkwardly.

The little girl floated by the river, rolling on the ground with laughter: "Brother Su Ming, you are so funny, you even help people wash their backs!"

Alice laughed even more happily: "Wow, your ghost friends are all making fun of you, it seems you are serious!"

Su Ming looked helpless, but he could only help patiently, and finally completed this "awkward" task.

Su Ming stood by the river, holding a wet towel in his hand, his face still a little embarrassed and uncomfortable. Alice had turned her back to him and immersed in the clear river water. The muscles on her back were smooth, and her skin looked smooth and healthy in the moonlight. The shoulders were slightly raised, and the curve of the back was soft and powerful, which looked particularly symmetrical.

Su Ming swallowed his saliva and silently told himself: "I'm just helping to wipe the back, it's no big deal." So he carefully placed the towel on Alice's back and began to wipe it stiffly.

Alice's skin became more slippery under the moistening of the river water. Su Ming's hands were a little unstable, fearing that he would hurt her by excessive force, but his movements seemed a little clumsy and hesitant. Alice noticed that his hand strength was wrong and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, be gentle! Don't use so much force, just take a bath like you usually do, don't be nervous."

"Oh, okay..." Su Ming responded a little flustered, and the strength in his hands was a little lighter, but the movement was still stiff.

As time went on, Su Ming gradually became proficient. He began to follow the muscle lines of Alice's back and carefully wipe every corner. From shoulders to back, and then to waist, his movements became more and more natural. Alice's back line is soft, and her waist is tight and slender, which is in sharp contrast to the strength she showed before, and she looks healthy and elegant with feminine curves.

"You are really an honest child," Alice said with a smile, with a hint of ridicule in her tone, "but you wiped it well."

Su Ming blushed slightly, but did not stop the action in his hands. He did not dare to look up, nor did he want to talk much, just wanted to end this embarrassing "task" as soon as possible.

Alice has a very well-proportioned figure. Her arms are toned, her back lines are strong, her waist is slender but not without strength, and her whole body is full of coordinated beauty. Her skin is slightly bronzed because of long-term living in the wild, but it makes her look healthier and more energetic.

"Okay, little guy, your mission is completed." Alice patted Su Ming's shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's no big deal to wipe your back."

Su Ming put down the towel with a sense of relief, and quickly stepped aside, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Alice was enjoying the relaxation of bathing in the river, when suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a snake sliding silently towards her. The snake's body flashed with a cold light, and its body was covered with mottled patterns, which looked very dangerous. Alice shouted in horror: "Ah! There's a snake!"

She was instantly awakened from her relaxed state, her body tensed, and she almost lost her balance.

Su Ming heard Alice's scream and quickly looked up, and saw that the snake was entwined on a stone not far away, spitting out its tongue, and looked like it was ready to attack at any time. Su Ming smiled lightly, obviously not taking the snake seriously. He picked up a small stone and threw it accurately in the direction of the snake.

The stone hit the snake's head, and the snake was hit instantly, making a slight hiss, and then quickly fled into the depths of the jungle and disappeared without a trace.

Alice was stunned for a moment, then she breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the rock by the river, patted her chest, and said with a smile: "Little guy, you are so fast. If it was a little later, I might have been scared to death."

Su Ming smiled and shrugged: "It's just a snake, there's nothing to be afraid of."

A few days later, Su Ming, Alice and the little girl continued to move forward in the rainforest. The little girl has been happily floating beside Su Ming, sharing her feelings with him. Although Alice can't see the little girl, she can feel that Su Ming's mood seems to have become much lighter.

One evening, the little girl suddenly stopped, gently pulled Su Ming's hand, and showed a reluctant expression on her face: "Brother Su Ming, my wish has been fulfilled. Thank you for bringing me here, I should leave."

Su Ming was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the little girl was about to leave. He felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. Although they didn't spend much time together, the existence of the little girl added a lot of warmth and fun to this journey. At this moment, facing her impending departure, he couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.

"Little sister, are you really leaving?" Su Ming asked in a low voice, his eyes gentle.

The little girl nodded, tears flashing in her eyes: "Yes, Brother Su Ming, I have seen the place my mother said, and my wish has been fulfilled. Next, I will go to reincarnate."

Su Ming gently held her hand. Although her hand was illusory, he still felt the transmission of that emotion: "Have a good trip, and may everything go well in your next life."

The little girl's tears slid down her cheeks, and she tried to squeeze out a smile: "Thank you, Brother Su Ming, you are the kindest and bravest person I have ever met. I will remember you."

Su Ming's heart trembled slightly, and he felt the deep friendship. He nodded gently, watching the little girl's figure gradually fade away and disappear into the air.

Alice stood aside, watching Su Ming staring at a certain place for a long time. Although she didn't know the existence of the little girl, she saw that Su Ming's emotions were a little fluctuating, so she asked softly: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Su Ming retracted his gaze, his face returned to calm, and smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, just... I feel that this journey is a little special."

At the moment the little girl left, Su Ming felt a strong force surging in his body. He knew that as the little girl's wish was fulfilled, the power in his body became stronger.

In the air, it seemed that there was still the warm breath of the little girl's departure, and Su Ming silently said goodbye to her in his heart.

Su Ming and Alice were ready to set off back, and the tiger still followed them faithfully. It brought them food every day and seemed to have completely integrated into this small team. However, one day, Su Ming suddenly found that the tiger did not appear beside them as usual. Alice also felt a little strange and looked around, but did not see the tiger.

"Where did it go? It has never been away from us for so long before." Alice frowned and said, obviously a little worried.

Although Su Ming was also a little uneasy, he thought that the tiger might have just left temporarily and did not think much about it. Until it was getting dark and they were about to set up camp, they suddenly heard heavy footsteps in the distance. Su Ming looked in the direction of the sound and found that the tiger was dragging its tired body and walking slowly towards them step by step.

When the tiger finally appeared in front of them, Alice and Su Ming were stunned. The tiger was covered with scars, and several deep claw marks extended from its shoulders to its back. The blood had dried up, but its condition seemed extremely weak. The tiger whimpered softly.

"What happened?" Alice immediately rushed forward to check the tiger's wounds. It was obvious that it had just experienced a fierce battle.

Su Ming's heart sank, realizing that the tiger might be in danger ahead. He squatted down and gently touched the tiger's head. The tiger looked at him with tired eyes, as if trying to convey something.

"It's warning us." Su Ming whispered, frowning.

Alice also understood what the tiger meant: "Is there danger ahead?"

Su Ming nodded, but he didn't intend to stop.

However, the tiger used all his strength to block Su Ming, trying to stop him from moving forward with his body. It kept shaking its head, even making a warning growl, and its tail swung anxiously, obviously unwilling to let them move forward one step.

Alice looked at the tiger, then at Su Ming, and frowned: "It's so nervous, I'm afraid there's really a big trouble ahead."

Su Ming was silent for a while, and suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the jungle ahead, as if something huge was approaching quickly. There was a repressive atmosphere in the air, and the trees around suddenly stopped, and even the birds' calls disappeared instantly. The surroundings seemed to have fallen into an eerie silence.

Then, a huge silhouette appeared in the darkness. It was a huge python! Its body was dozens of meters long and as thick as an adult tree. It was covered with dark green scales and glowed coldly in the moonlight. The python's eyes were like two cold rubies, flashing a deadly light. Its body slowly squirmed, and its huge body almost covered half of the jungle. Every time it moved, the ground seemed to tremble.

The head of the python was like a hill, and it opened its bloody mouth, revealing two rows of fangs as sharp as daggers. A disgusting stench rose from its mouth, as if it came from the depths of hell. Its tongue quickly stretched out, making a "hissing" sound, and the whole rainforest seemed to be shrouded in this deadly threat.

Su Ming and Alice were both shocked by this huge creature. Alice took a breath of cold air, and her voice trembled a little: "What kind of monster is this...?"
