Xiao Bai and his companions carried hoes and dug a big hole along the hole that the big beetle had drilled out. They stopped only after confirming that there were no more beetles hiding underground.
To be on the safe side, Master Li had the hounds carefully sniff the chopped stag beetles and search the fields.
But in the end, not a single one was found.
Xiao Bai, Master Li and others finally felt relieved and thought to themselves that maybe this big beetle was just an exception. If there were really many insects infected by dark matter, they would not have been unaware of it until now.
So the few of them finished their training for the day, leaned on each other's shoulders, and went back home to their mothers, forgetting about this little episode.
What Xiao Bai and the others didn't know was that two meters further down in the pit, dense swarms of mutated stag beetles were constantly surging.
The stag beetle they killed was merely the vanguard of this insect army! Its shrill death cry was a warning to the other insects deep underground!
Compared to the sudden appearance of the mutant insects, Xiao Bai was more concerned about why she suddenly saw the bright red words "Favorability -100"?!
As soon as she returned to the room, she threw the little squirrel that had occupied her pillow onto the treetop outside the window, closed the window and locked the door in one go. Xiao Bai then pointed at the invisible book spirit in the air and said:
"Tell me, is the favorability related to the contract ability?" Xiao Bai said in a bad tone.
Shu Ling waved away the finger poking at her cheek, crossed her arms and said proudly, "So what! If it weren't for this reminder of your favorability, you might have been bitten by a giant bug by now!"
Xiao Bai held his forehead with his hand: "What I want to ask is, why didn't you tell me in advance that favorability can appear in this... uh, text form?"
Shu Ling rolled her eyes and said confidently, "You didn't ask me!"
Xiao Bai:...
She took a deep breath and didn't get angry. She just treated it as a child who didn't eat or drink and didn't need to be taken care of. It was just that he had a bad temper. She would endure it. Otherwise, she could get a divorce!
She adjusted her mood and said gently again, "Okay, then tell me everything related to the contract ability now. Don't leave out a single detail!"
Shu Ling stretched out her little hand in front of Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai: ? ?
Shu Ling: "Remuneration! No way, no way, you still want it for free?"
Xiao Bai: This kid isn't going to die anyway, so we can just beat him, right?!
How could Xiao Bai's thoughts escape Shu Ling's control? He immediately conjured up his small sword out of thin air: "Are you going to fight me?! You haven't practiced swordsmanship in so long, today I'll see how much you've regressed!"
After Shu Ling finished speaking, he rushed towards Xiao Bai with a sword.
Xiao Bai stretched out a finger and pressed it against Shu Ling's forehead to stop him from rushing forward. He said helplessly, "I'll go get you the spirit core!"
Damn it! If they start fighting in the room, will they still have the house? The kids can be naughty, but she can’t!
She remembered that there were some spirit cores in the flowerpot downstairs, so she gave him one first to make do.
Xiao Bai brought Shu Ling to the living room downstairs. The orchid on the shelf had an increasingly rich and fragrant aroma that made people feel relaxed and happy just by smelling it.
"This flower is great!" Shu Ling circled around the orchid pot and said, "It's a treasure!"
Xiao Bai didn't care about Shu Ling's comments. What she cared about was - "Can't you see the spirit core in the flowerpot?" She pointed at the shining spirit core in the flowerpot and asked.
"What? There is a spirit core in the flowerpot?!" Now it was Shu Ling's turn to be surprised!
At this moment, in Xiao Bai's eyes, there were five peanut-sized spirit cores lying in the flowerpot.
Wait! She remembered there was a fist-sized spirit core here?! How was it gone? Also, the number of spirit cores in this flower pot was significantly less than before! Even the size had shrunk significantly!
Xiao Bai had previously thought these were just ordinary crystals and hadn't paid much attention to them. It wasn't until she listened to Taoist Master Wang's explanation in the Dark Realm that she realized these crystals could very well be spirit cores. They might have been the reason she became enlightened. Now, there were only five spirit cores left?!
Most importantly, what about a spirit core the size of her fist?! She wasn't sure if it was a spirit core, but if it was, damn, wouldn't that be a big deal?!
Shu Ling saw Xiao Bai staring at the flower pot in a daze, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve and asked, "Where, where? Where is the spirit core?"
Xiao Bai picked up a peanut-sized spirit core and placed it in front of Shu Ling. Only then did Shu Ling see clearly that it was indeed a spirit core!
The next second, the book spirit snatched the spirit core, stuffed it into its mouth, and swallowed it with a few "crunches".
Xiao Bai:...
No, this naughty kid just grabs whatever he likes! No, he needs to be taught a lesson!
Xiao Bai was so angry that he didn't care where the big crystal had gone. He grabbed Shu Ling with one hand and slapped him on the butt.
"I told you to grab something!"
"You owed me that! And you said you would give it to me! How can you be considered stealing it?!"
"I haven't given it to you yet, so isn't that robbery?! Do you think you have a point as a robber?!"
"Isn't cultivation all about grabbing resources? Whoever grabs it gets it!"
"The robber theory!"
·······
The commotion finally attracted Mother Xiao, who was growing vegetables downstairs, and the book spirit was exposed to everyone.
Xiao Bai could only say that this was a "pleasant surprise" because she no longer had to be misunderstood as someone who was always talking to herself. She knew that several times when Xiao Bai accidentally talked to Shu Ling, her mother and father would always look at her with extra care.
Xiao's father and mother thought to themselves: This child must have accidentally hit his head in the dark area, so he was in a coma for so long. He just woke up and his consciousness was a little unclear. He was talking to himself. They should be more tolerant and pretend not to see it. They should not put pressure on the child.
