Although entering with a rabbit was ridiculous, the rest of the team was fairly normal.
A python, a lion, and a gray wolf–each was a powerful beast form and a popular choice in this game.
92%
The python was entirely crimson, resembling the infamous Jaws. The lion’s golden fur gleamed, just like Felix’s. Meanwhile, the gray wolf’s eerie blue eyes were identical to Erik’s. However, their sizes weren’t as massive as the originals, and their auras weren’t as intimidating.
The audience was unfazed by this.
[Another one of Lord Nyx’s fans…]
[LOL, eight out of ten streams are like this.]
[I just came from another stream–those four were mimicking Felix, Kai, Jaws, and Kian.]
[I saw one earlier where all four players had beast forms identical to Zayne’s Snow Wolf.]
[Yeah, I saw that too.]
[At least this stream has some originality–there’s actually a rabbit.]
[I’m dying of laughter.]
This little rabbit walked slowly and clumsily, with its front feet stumbling over its back feet. It was obvious that it was not used to its rabbit beast form, indicating that this was probably not its true form.
The audience thought, ‘Did they deliberately pick a rabbit? This is a competition. Do its teammates have no objections?”
As the audience speculated about whether the little rabbit would be scolded by its teammates, they were stunned to see the three fierce beasts excitedly pounce toward the rabbit.
The cubs adjusted their beast forms to the system–generated adult versions.
Not only did their field of vision expand, but their bodies also grew stronger. Though not as imposing as their fathers, these bodies were enough to excite them.
They thought, ‘So this is what it feels like to grow up. Mom really picked a fun game.
Even inside their mature shells, they were still three babies less than
a year old.
The voice modulators made them sound like adults, but the moment they spoke, their reliance on Nyx was unmistakable. Their voices, sticky with affection, instinctively called for “Mommy.”
Nyx looked up at the adult–sized cubs, eyes filled with fondness.
She did her best to adjust to her tiny body, lifting a paw to touch each of them one by one.
The next second, the cubs had knocked her over. Three pairs of sparkling eyes stared at her.
They thought, ‘Mommy is a little bunny. So soft, so cute!‘
Usually, Nyx was the one hugging and showering her cubs with affection. But now, the roles had reversed–she was the one being squished and cuddled, weak, helpless, and with no way to fight back.
Three fierce beasts and a little bunny rolled together in a playful mess, forming a warm and harmonious scene.

The live stream viewers were stunned.

[Did I enter the wrong stream?]
[Isn’t this supposed to be a survival game?]
[Did they come here for a picnic?]
[Uh… What’s the relationship between these players? This looks so weird.]
[No clue, but my friends and I definitely don’t att like this….J
[Even my biological siblings and I aren’t this close…]
It was almost unheard of for males to interact like this. No matter how close they were, rolling around in each other’s arms was unthinkable.
[Umm… could they be kids?]
[That’s possible.]
[Yeah! If they’re baby cubs, then this makes sense.]
Since all these players used virtual avatars and modulated voices, revealing no real information, it was entirely possible that they were just children.
Taking a closer look at their overly adorable usernames and team name, the viewers felt even more certain of their guess.
–[If they’re cubs, then it’s fine to just have fun. The competition doesn’t matter.]
[Enjoy it while you can, little ones. Some bad guy’s gonna come and eliminate you soon…]
[LMAO.]
[Hope the bad guys have some sportsmanship and don’t attack right away. Give the little ones a chance to surrender first.]
The players in the game couldn’t see the live stream chat.
Chubby and Sky and Ash were still lost in the joy of their new forms, completely unaware that their identities as cubs had been exposed.
Taking turns, they carried Nyx on their backs and balanced her on their heads, happily heading to the river to look at their reflections.
Viewers had seen plenty of backstabbing and bloodshed in this tournament, but this unexpectedly heartwarming scene stirred a sense of happiness in them.
It didn’t match the overall competitive vibe, but it was a game–people could play however they wanted. As long as they had fun, that was all that mattered.
The system detected that this new live stream was gaining popularity and automatically recommended it to the potential top–ranking list. More viewers started tuning in.
And with more people, the chat became less harmonious.

[A bunny is competing too?]
[I came here to watch fights, not kids on a field trip.)
[What the hell? Why is this even trending?]
(Ugh, they must’ve bribed the competition organizers J
[Hurry up, someone eliminate them already.)
[Relax, it should happen soon.]
[If I remember correctly, there’s a particularly vicious crocodile in this river. It’s already taken out a bench of players)
[Expecting that!]
The clear river water reflected the shadow of a milk–colored little rabbit.
It wasn’t fat, but because it was so fluffy and small, it looked round and chubby.
Nyx crouched by the shore, looking again and again, almost mesmerized by her own reflection.
She never thought she would get to experience what it feels like to be a little animal in her lifetime.
The sound of the flowing water was constant, masking the approaching danger.
Not far away, a dark figure lurked in the water, its eyes cold and glaring at Nyx.
If he could eliminate one more player, his team would advance to the intermediate map. This rabbit was like a free point, practically delivered to him. But the rabbit’s teammates were all guarding nearby, and they were all fierce beasts.
The crocodile assessed his speed, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go for it. If he could kill that rabbit, he would retreat immediately. Even if the three of them caught up, it wouldn’t be a big deal for him.
The water was his domain, where the lion and gray wolf’s combat abilities wouldn’t be useful. Only a snake with slightly better swimming skills was left, not a threat.
Those three didn’t seem too impressive either. They were playing in the water so happily with the rabbit, not like serious competitors at all. They looked more like a group of kids on a picnic to him.
He thought he could earn four points in one go. The crocodile thus made up his mind, no longer holding back, and suddenly launched an attack.
The sound of the water instantly grew louder.
Nyx, alert, perked up her ears and quickly called out to Chubby, Sky, and Ash, “Run!”
As she fled, she thought to herself that if she couldn’t escape, she would surrender, but then she realized the cubs hadn’t kept up. She turned around in a panic to check.
The live stream audience was already getting so excited that they started cursing.
[What the heck?]
[So fierce?]
