==================

Facing the monster's powerful strength, if wisdom were reborn...

If no external force that can rival it intervenes, this continent will eventually be ruled by monsters.

Therefore, the system sent Lian Yun to another world.

During the mission briefing, Lian Yun remembered one sentence - let the light of magic dispel the darkness around.

This darkness may refer to the erosion and domination of monsters.

A dreamless night.

The next day, Lanna woke Lianyun up as planned and prepared to go to the cave again.

When the two of them went out together, they were attracted by the screams of a group of children.

“It’s gotten so big…”

"Is it the one from yesterday?"

"Yes! Exactly the same! Neither has a tail!"

Then a baby voice rang out in Lian Yun's mind: "You don't have tails! I have a tail! It's just a little shorter!"

It’s Xiaobai.

Xiaobai, who was growing exponentially, lay across the middle of the road, his size now reaching a point where he could no longer be ignored.

"That ball that's half a person's height... is that Xiaobai?" Lian Yun's tone was difficult, full of unwillingness to accept.

Xiaobai's round ears moved, and he turned his head suddenly to catch sight of Lian Yun, then jumped towards her.

"Stop!" Lian Yun raised his hand in time to stop Xiaobai from running.

The latter shook out his fluffy white fur, his eyes full of innocence but with a hint of grievance: "They said I don't have a tail! I clearly do have one, but it was bitten off by a littermate..."

Lian Yun subconsciously bent down to touch it, but suddenly found that he no longer needed to bend down, and even had to raise his arm.

Dreamily caressing the incredibly soft Xiaobai in his hands, Lian Yun tried to calm himself down. "Although you don't have a tail, you're round enough. And round mice don't need tails."

Xiao Bai blinked innocently: "Really?"

Lian Yun remained calm and changed the subject: "You seem to have grown up overnight again. Did you feel anything unusual this time?"

According to the adult size of the flying gerbil, Xiaobai will probably reach adulthood after growing up twice more.

Xiaobai still stared at Lianyun without moving his eyes: "Even hungrier."

“…”

All right.

Lian Yun struggled for a moment, then opened her backpack to prepare a snack for Xiaobai, but Lana suddenly held her arm and quickly moved away.

"Sir, if we let Xiaobai grow up by eating, I'm afraid we can't afford to support it." Lana said in a steady voice.

Xiaobai understood what he said and clearly remembered that Lana had torn a piece of meat out of his mouth.

Upon hearing this, it scratched the ground anxiously.

"Feed me! I'm hungry!"

Lian Yun stared at Xiaobai's body thoughtfully for a while, and finally withdrew his hand.

noob:! !

"This really can't go on." Lian Yun rubbed the little head soothingly, which felt very good in his hand.

If it is allowed to stay safely in the small town, without the struggles and survival problems of the wild, it will not learn any skills or improve its abilities.

This is tantamount to flattery.

"So later, you will go with us to fight monsters."

Xiaobai: ...strategic tilt head.jpg

"There's no point in being cute," Lian Yun said, ignoring the pair of large eyes indifferently. "You must try hard to recall what you have seen, how the rats hunt and use their special powers."

Lian Yun said seriously, "When we get to the cave later, no one will protect you."

Looking at Lian Yun's extremely serious expression, Xiaobai shrank his neck. No matter how hard he tried to cheat, he had to give in.

.

The desire for self-sufficiency got everyone up early to sow the seeds. Judging by their enthusiasm, they could finish sowing the seeds in just one morning.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lian Yun did not bring the five-person team this time, and left Xiaohong to guard the town.

After all, the little frog is a water creature, and Xiaohong, as a bird, can't help much.

This time the outer cave was the same as when No. 1685 left last time, no frogs came out.

As soon as he saw the pool, No. 1685 walked skillfully to the edge of the pool and got ready.

It was Xiaobai’s first time to come to a strange environment. He sniffed left and looked right. The humid air and the glittering walls, everything was so attractive.

Its lively movements made Lian Yun breathe a sigh of relief. She was worried that Xiaobai would be afraid of the unfamiliar environment, but now it seems...

"Hey! Don't go through there!"

Lian Yun was not paying attention and was caught off guard when he saw Xiaobai crawling into the hole that was blown up yesterday.

Lana reacted immediately, but he still couldn't catch up with Xiaobai's innate speed. When he stretched out his hand, he only caught a ball of air.

——It’s because Xiaobai doesn’t have a tail.

Everyone nervously gathered in front of the cave. Before they could see what was happening inside, they heard a chaotic and panicked croaking of frogs, accompanied by Xiaobai's excited "squeaking".

The entrance to the cave seemed to be blocked by frogs that had rushed to the side to escape, and only the frogs' backs and skin patterns could be seen.

One by one, they seemed to be trembling.

"...What's the situation now?" Aibei asked in a daze.

"Judging from the sound, Xiaobai shouldn't have been wronged, right?" Lian Yun analyzed, supporting his chin.

They were definitely not wronged - because they clearly heard the frogs inside croaking for the last time before they died.

"cough."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw it was 1685.

He stared at the water with a resolute gaze and issued a false and emotionless warning: "Ahem."

Everyone looked at each other, then approached quietly with light steps.

Before they could reach the edge of the pool, they heard a "splash" and the water near the shore splashed, and a green figure rushed out.

It lay on a pile of magic crystals behind 1685, its mouth opening and closing, and a magic crystal as big as itself, shining with a faint red light, was swallowed into its stomach.

"Is this the one...?"

Lian Yun measured the frog from a distance with her hand and found that it was not even half the size of her palm.

Its back is emerald green, its belly is white, its webbed toes are bright red without any pattern, and its eyes are red with black pupils.

If Lian Yun remembers correctly, its scientific name in its own world should be - "tree frog", right?

Its eyes were half drooped, and it looked very tired, without even making a sound.

1685 raised the bamboo basket with an expressionless face, and just as he was about to put it down, it suddenly flew out at a speed that was difficult to follow with the naked eye.

When everyone turned around, it was already standing on the bamboo basket.

Its eyes were still half-drooped, and its vocal sac was bulging, but no sound came out.

It inexplicably makes people feel full of irony.

"You deserve a beating." Abe smacked his tongue and looked at 1685 again. He was almost so angry that he went back to the box and remade it.

Lian Yun knew that this little tree frog was definitely not ordinary. He looked at Lana inquiringly, and the latter shook his head.

He might not be able to catch up.

And No. 1685 raised his hand again and launched a second attack on it.

A shadow flew out.

Then there was another afterimage.

……wrong.

The first one is green and the second one is white!

"squeak!"

After being called back to his senses by Xiaobai, Lian Yun looked again and saw a hint of green under the white fluffy claws.

"Xiaobai?!" Lian Yun said in surprise.

Can it be faster than the little frog?

Xiaobai raised his little head proudly and accepted Lianyun's praise with pride.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”

Lian Yun quickly turned on the sensor.

"I saw it inside. It was standing on the big rock. I'm so smart!" Although Xiaobai has grown up a little, his language ability has evolved slowly and is obviously not enough to explain the situation now.

Lian Yun could only tell its words to the two of them, trying to find the truth from its fragmented vocabulary.

Aibei scratched his head. "Big rock? Is that the one we saw?"

Lana pondered for a moment and was about to walk towards the cave entrance to look for clues, but suddenly stopped.

The two people behind him also realized the sudden silence around them.

"in……"

There is no sound.

There was complete silence, no frogs croaking.

When a few people got closer, they could still see many big frogs jumping around in the water. Some of them seemed to have been squeezed into the water and were busy jumping onto the shore.

"Why don't they come over?"

Lian Yun frowned and observed for a while. They seemed to be much more dull than before, and they showed no intention of swimming out after such a long time.

Her thoughts turned, and she picked up a piece of crystal from the wall and threw it inside.

...It was completely different from when I first discovered them. There was no reaction at all, as if I couldn't hear any sound at all.

Lian Yun came to Xiao Bai again and touched its head: "Try to let it go."

Xiaobai obediently loosened his claws, and at the same time, the little frog flew out in a hurry -

“Bang!”

It was pressed under Xiaobai's claws again, and at the same second, the frogs inside all made a short croaking sound.

Seeing this, the three of them had some guesses in their minds.

Lian Yun walked over calmly, squatted down, and looked at the little frog that was squashed but unharmed. "You can control them, right?"

The little frog, crushed into a pancake, could no longer droop its eyes and was forced to stare at Lian Yun.

The red and black eyes reflected Lian Yun's figure, and it suddenly croaked.

“…” Sorry, she didn’t understand.

Lian Yun looked at Xiaobai, who shook his head to indicate that he heard nothing.

Lian Yun sighed and planned to ask again.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in his sight, trying to pry Xiaobai's claws open. Lian Yun frowned and looked over: "Aibei, what are you doing?"

Aibei looked at the little frog stubbornly and seriously: "Don't crush it."

Lian Yun: ...did she miss something? This frog is as flexible as rubber. Even if it falls under Aibei's claws, it won't be hurt at all.

But Aibei still wanted Xiaobai to move his claws away, and even started to use brute force to pry the claws away.

"What's wrong with you?" Lian Yun was a little angry.

His strength is greater than Xiaobai's strength in holding down the frog.

"Sir." Lanna said lightly, took three or two steps forward, grabbed Abe's collar and pulled him up.

Aibei kept his eyes on the frog and struggled to break free from Lanner's grasp.

"He was manipulated."
