"No." Qi Rong pushed up his glasses and said, "Is this really... a normal supernatural creature? Not a wild boar spirit?"
How else could he eat so much !
"Ji-ao!"
Before Qiao Bai had the chance to answer Qi Rong's question, Xiao Wu, who understood what Qi Rong was saying, angrily rushed towards Qi Rong.
Damn four-eyed human! What nonsense are you talking about!
Wild boar spirit? Is there a wild boar spirit as cute as Benlong in this world?
Impossible does not exist!
Die! The cat and cat slammed its head hard into Qi Rong's chest.
Without strong and thick chest muscles to support him, Qi Rong was knocked out directly and fell to the ground holding his chest.
The cat and cat stood proudly on Qi Rong's chest, just about to jump a few more times to express its extremely happy mood.
Qiao Bai quickly picked up Maomao Chong and touched his head while asking, "Teacher Qi, is it serious? Do you want me to take a look at you and give you some medicine?"
"It's okay, it's okay...hiss——" Qi Rong, who had more than ten pounds of weight removed from his chest, finally sat up straight. He waved to Qiao Bai while speaking, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll take my time..."
Ye Linjie laughed at the side: "You said bad things in front of others, you deserve to be beaten."
"And the fact that he can sit up alive and kicking means that his injury is not serious."
"You need to exercise." Mr. Mo, the cool guy with double doors, also made a very harmonious finishing move: "Will you go to the gym with me next time?"
"No, no, no." Qi Rong refused without hesitation: "Your over-fit physique... well, it's not suitable for me. I'm fine the way I am."
Qi Rong rubbed his chest and looked at the cat and cat bug: "Its power is much greater than I imagined. Really, I am becoming more and more interested in this extraordinary creature."
"Teacher Qi, you better hold back." Qiao Bai hugged the cat and cat, and said helplessly: "If I hadn't held it tightly, the cat and cat dragon would have rushed out again."
Although not fatal.
Cats and dragons know their limits when playing around.
But if you really get hit, it will still hurt when it should!
"Eat another piece?" Qiao Bai took out another light purple energy stone, and the cat and cat bug hummed and stopped thinking about revenge.
╭(╯^╰)╮
Let's eat stones! Delicious!
Happy! Don't bother too much with the human who made the staff! Long Ke is really broad-minded! Thinking about it, the cat and cat insect calmed down.
Hmm~
Anyway, the dragon won't suffer! Fortunately, when the catworm ate the second energy stone, its speed slowed down a lot.
Finally, they finished eating, and Maomao Chong couldn't control his body and turned over his belly in Qiao Bai's arms.
Hiccup~ Mao Mao Chong looked at Qiao Bai with a pair of messy, watery eyes.
"Chichi~"
Eat enough ~ want to rub Dudu ~
I don't know where Maomao Chong learned these cute tricks.
When Qiao Bai saw it...he felt a little bit unable to resist.
Ignoring the fiery gaze coming from the back of his head, Qiao Bai really couldn't help but reach out.
Cat and cat bug: so cute.jpg Little Crow: Damn thief! Qiao Bai sat down by the campfire with a smile, put the cat and cat bug on his thigh, and patted the empty space on the other side. Little Crow understood instantly and fluttered its wings to land on Qiao Bai.
I rubbed the cat's bulging belly, and occasionally took the time to rub the silly hair on the little crow's head, or rub the base of the little crow's wings. The little crow also lay down.
Opinion?
no comment.
So crispy~
Maomaochong and Xiaowu lay on Qiao Bai's thighs, forming two piles of cat biscuits and bird biscuits, which made Qi Rong and Ye Linjie beside them unable to help but reveal their eager expressions.
It looks like the little belly is really easy to pinch! But in the end, neither of them got the chance to do it.
Xiao Wu and Maomao Chong were very vigilant and sensitive to scent. The moment their hands reached out, Xiao Wu and Maomao Chong opened their eyes and stared at the dirty hands with their beautiful and majestic big golden-red eyes, and their messy and resentful big eyes.
You want to touch them if you are not their animal tamer? You are dreaming!
Xiao Wu and Maomao Chong jumped onto Qiao Bai's shoulders and head in a flash, not looking like they were in the water just now at all.
Ye Linjie and Qi Rong, who were accused of double standards, were not very angry.
"Hey, if I have the chance, I would really like to study your pet, especially its attributes... I'm really curious."
"It's time for everyone to rest after sitting for a while. We need to arrange two more people to keep watch tonight so that we can overcome the difficulties."
Neither Qiao Bai nor the others had any objections.
After all, we just encountered a small wave of beasts during the day, and no one knows what exactly happened. It is better to be careful. It is better to be a little more careful than to be rushed to the door by extraordinary creatures in your sleep! Then...
Tonight was truly a very lively night.
From time to time, every one to two hours, a wave of wild supernatural creatures, not too numerous but barely within the range that could be dealt with, would rush towards where their camp was located.
During the three hours that Qiao Bai was on guard, he encountered two small groups of extraordinary creatures gathering together and attacking his home.
Qiao Bai: “?”
"What... is going on?" Qiao Bai looked at Qi Rong, who was keeping watch with him, in confusion.
As the only two ordinary people among the eight people present, Qi Rong and Mo Xuexiang kept watch with Qiao Bai and Ye Linjie respectively so that they could be better protected.
This is also a recognition of Qiao Bai's strength.
“Not sure…” Qi Rong shook his head. His bespectacled face looked a little solemn under the dim bonfire at night. “Unless it is a large, irregular beast tide, the beast tides are regular and can be observed in advance.”
"The real beast tide in the forbidden land of Dongzhou should not come until five to seven months later. The situation today..." As he spoke, Qi Rong also frowned, and his expression looked wrong.
After taking a sip of the white wine used to warm the body on a cold night, Qi Rong handed it to Qiao Bai very smoothly.
Qiao Bai stared at Qi Rong silently.
Qi Rong was stunned for a moment, then he revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh oh oh! I almost forgot! You are not an adult yet!"
"Don't even think about smoking or drinking!"
Qiao Bai rolled his eyes.
It's like he really wants to smoke and drink.
But the fact is that this guy is almost drinking uncontrollably.
"Just drink a couple of sips to warm yourself up." Qiao Bai took the small bottle of wine without a label from Qi Rong's hand, which was in the kettle he carried with him, and put it aside.
Did this night pass quickly, yet it seemed very long.
Even if a hired member of the expedition team took over shifts with Sha Yi and Qiao Bai, after Qiao Bai lay down in the sleeping bag and closed his eyes, he could still hear the sounds coming from outside every once in a while.
It is the movement of extraordinary creatures.
Fortunately, everyone’s strength was not too weak, and it only took a little effort and time to easily get rid of those extraordinary creatures outside.
By the next morning, when it was just dawn, everyone was awake.
"Don't these extraordinary creatures know how difficult it is for women, especially older women, to spend a quiet night?" Ye Linjie yawned and complained in a coquettish tone, "It's so difficult to get a good beauty sleep."
The freckled young man Chen Yi was on the last night shift. Before everyone woke up, he and another hired member of the expedition team prepared breakfast for everyone.
陈奕先是殷勤地给叶琳婕送去了一份，抓着这个机会，他坐在叶琳婕的身边小声地问道。
“叶老师……这个情况是不是有点不太对啊？”
“我们昨天遇到的超凡生物是不是太多了一点？”
光是白天就遭遇了两波。
然后是夜里守夜的时候，每个人都遇上了。
“要是这样的话……我们是不是提前回去比较好？”雀斑青年陈奕有些不太放心地说道。
谁知道会不会从什么地方冒出来一只他们根本解决不了的超凡生物啊！ 能不能现在就回去啊！ “恩……不哦。”叶琳婕捧着雀斑青年陈奕单独给她端过来的牛奶可可燕麦片糊糊，一大早喝上一口热乎乎的可可味的粥，整个人的心情好像都变得舒畅了起来。
她心情一好，解答起问题来的时候也就多了那份耐心。
“我们百分百地确定这些超凡生物的异动和兽潮没有关系，应该是别的原因造成的。”
至于是什么原因嘛……
不确定。
都是猜测。
“至少要等我们见到那个是大脸葵又或者真的是阳光葵的超凡生物，才可以确定？”叶琳婕说道。
雀斑青年陈奕：“……”
虽然但是……总之就还是要继续往前走的意思对吧？ 雀斑青年陈奕感觉自己的小心脏稍微有那么一点受到了打击。
叶琳婕撩了撩头发，看了一眼雀斑青年陈奕，用温柔舒缓的语气说道：“其实这个遭遇攻击的密度也不算是太夸张。”
雀斑青年陈奕：“？？？”
不是？
这还不夸张吗？！ 雀斑青年陈奕被叶琳婕的一句话给打击得快要说不出话来了。
“确实。”乔白发出了赞同的附和声：“我们走的本来就不是探险小队常走的，常清理的那条路，并且我们的行程还这么长……除去我们遭遇的那波小型兽潮过分夸张，剩下的攻击密度都在正常的范围内。”
只不过是和之前比起来……情况糟糕了不少。
叶琳婕点了点头。
“就是这样。”
“第一次遭遇兽潮，你应该是被吓到了，这趟回去之后好好地休息两天，调整一下心情。”
雀斑青年陈奕怀揣着不可言说的小心思而言，恍恍惚惚地走开。
“心理素质还是稍微差了那么一点。”叶琳婕喝了一口热乎乎的可可牛奶燕麦粥，叹着气颇为无奈地说道。
戚容：“正常正常啦，毕竟在这之前他们都是温室里的花朵，从来没有想过外面的世界会这么的可爱。”
一时之间小心脏承受不来，遭受了打击那不是很正常的事情吗？
叶琳婕默默地看向乔白。
双开门酷哥莫老师也默默地看向乔白。
张了张嘴想要说些什么的戚容，最后也不由得下意识地看了一眼乔白，接着戚容就闭嘴了。
戚容：“他这个情况……好吧好吧，算了，不说了。”
乔白：“……”
心情并不是很美妙呢。
总觉得他的形象在这三个人的眼里变得奇奇怪怪起来。
……
收拾好了东西一行人继续赶路。
上午遭遇了一小群超凡生物。
下午隔三岔五地遇到两三只冲过来的超凡生物。
频率比昨天稍微低一点。
雀斑青年陈奕见状，一直焦急的心情却莫名地平缓了不少。
还好还好……叶老师说得好像是真的。
行走在禁忌之地内会遭遇这么多的野生超凡生物的攻击，确实是一件很正常的事情。
逐渐接受了这个设定的雀斑青年陈奕，在接着遇到超凡生物攻击的时候，他已经能熟练地指挥着食岩怪、小钢珠、毛绒蒲和鸽鸽鸭反击回去。
在还没有入学高等御兽学院之前，就能体验有五阶御兽师全程保驾护航的战斗……这是不可多得的好机会！ 雀斑青年陈奕果断地抓住。
和他比起来。
出发的时候还兴头满满的平头哥沙乙看起来好像整个人都颓废了一样。
不主动攻击，但是有超凡生物攻击他的时候，他也会指挥着小狮兽、小灵猫、怪力大熊它们反击回去。
主打的就是一个只顾眼下的安危。
抓住这个机会提升自己？
不可能的不存在的，想多了。
全程不用参与战斗，被其他几个人保护起来的戚容和双开门酷哥莫老师，站在安全区内，他们能清清楚楚地看清所有人的表现。
叶琳婕的能力，稳定输出，稳定发挥，绝不翻车，镇场大佬说的就是她。
被雇佣来的两个探险小队成员，能力中规中矩，说不上有多么的惊艳却也到不了拖后腿的地步。
平头哥沙乙直接摆烂。
雀斑青年陈奕正在从积极打小怪开始，努力地锻炼自己并且提升自己的能力。
“我比较看好这个陈奕，他明年考上的概率应该会比较大。”戚容小声地在双开门酷哥莫老师的耳边小声说道：“那个沙乙就算了……就算笔试成绩过了，他也过不了面试环节和精神测验环节的。”
不就是不小心吃了一朵shi蘑菇吗？ 不就是不小心被小型兽潮吓到腿软吗？
是丢人。
但这并不是什么严重性质的，再也活不下去的那种情况。
脸皮厚一点，心态好一点，抖抖机灵又是一条好汉！ 又或者是人品好一点。
这么多人里总有那么一两个会去安慰他，帮助他从阴影中走出来的。
没有。
都没有。
脾气差，眼光高，好高骛远，想太多做太少……亲眼观察出来的，一系列不算是什么太好的标签被贴在了沙乙身上。
“……再看看吧。”双开门酷哥莫老师轻声说道。
是的。
他们这一趟会带上平头哥沙乙和雀斑青年陈奕不是没有原因的。
他们两个人之前嘲讽乔白说的话，觉得乔白可能成为他们中拖油瓶。
后来乔白用自身的实力狠狠地打了这两个人的脸。
脸肿。
乔白没有成拖油瓶，这两个人反倒是成为了拖油瓶。
但这些都在戚容、叶琳婕和莫雪香的预料之中。
乔白展现出来的实力才让他们吓了一大跳。
所以为什么要把这两个带上？
当然是因为，这是一种考察的方式。
通过亲身相处，亲眼见证，能更好地了解他们两个人的性格、行为处世和基本三观，这些都会成为他们入学考察和档案中的一部分。
高等御兽学院招的不仅仅是天才。
更是能在危急时刻，为了亲朋好友，为了国家挺身站出来的天才。
对他们本性的观察也非常重要。
虽说还没有旅途还没有到终点，回程也有几天时间，但是他们对这几个人的性格和行为处世都有了大概的判断和了解。
因为攻击他们的超凡生物变多。
这一路上双开门酷哥莫老师都没有时间折腾那些果实和草药了。
等太阳落山，众人终于能休息的时候，所有人都松了一口气。
累。
实在是太累了。
比昨天还要累的那种感觉。
“感觉今天这一路都在打怪升级……好吧，只有打怪，没有升级。”雀斑青年陈奕一屁股坐在地上，收集柴火准备晚饭……没力气，是真的没有力气了。
一天连续不停地前进加打怪下来，雀斑青年陈奕感觉自己半条命都没有了。
平头哥沙乙躺在地上，四肢摊开，看了一眼他，根本不想说话。
除去乔白和叶琳婕以外，其他的人都没有好到哪里去。
“小教授，体力不错嘛。”叶琳婕赞叹地说道：“平时有锻炼？”
乔白点了点头。
锻炼加冥想，体质提升的效果还是挺快的。
白天不停地赶路加上和超凡生物对战的疲惫也没能给乔白带来太大的影响，尚且在可承受的范围内。
“我们今天走得比较快，明天应该就能到那一片区域了吧。”乔白轻声说道：“发现那个疑似阳光葵的超凡生物的位置，是已经超出了东洲禁忌之地已知的探险范围的地域对吧？”
“那……会有什么危险嘛。”
乔白前往禁忌之地的机会不多。
直接走出了已彻底探索完全区域的经验更是一点都没有。
“我还以为小教授你真的什么都不在意了，胸有成竹的厉害呢。”叶琳婕笑了起来，紧接着认真地给乔白解释，也是给很少来禁忌之地的平头哥沙乙和雀斑青年陈奕解释。
“首先，危险肯定是有的，风险程度不高不低。”
“未被彻底开发、探索出来的区域内，会笼罩着一层淡淡的雾气。”
"When all the secrets in a small area are discovered by humans, the fog will magically disappear from above this small piece of land."
Qiao Bai couldn't help but think.
Does it feel a bit like opening a game map? However, compared with opening a map in a game, the difficulty of opening a map in reality is much higher than imagined.
"If it's a forbidden place in other areas, it might be a little better. The fog will only make you blind but won't cause you any other harm. But it's not the case in the forbidden place in Dongzhou City."
"The mist may contain certain neurotoxins. If you stay in it for a long time, you will eventually be unable to leave."
"Have you brought the gas masks and goggles I asked you to bring? When the time comes, as long as you don't stay for too long, these situations can be avoided."
Qiao Bai nodded.
learn.
No wonder Qi Rong stuffed two extra gas masks into his backpack, just to prevent this situation.
If Qiao Bai came alone, he would definitely know nothing.
Fortunately, we are in a team.
With the rich experience of the predecessors, Qiao Bai avoided unnecessary pitfalls.
"And in the unknown area, there will be unknown, powerful or not so powerful extraordinary creatures. Be careful."
"I don't need to tell you this, you should know the answer, right?"
Not only Qiao Bai, everyone nodded.
Clearly, clearly, very clear.
"Then how do we find that extraordinary creature that looks like the sunflower?" Qiao Bai asked the most crucial question.
"We don't know if the extraordinary creature suspected to be the sunflower happens to live on the edge of the unknown area and the explored area. What if it was just a coincidence last time and came out to get some fresh air?"
"Go in and investigate further..."
Fog.
It's dangerous.
Natural barriers are particularly troublesome.
"So we also came here with the mentality of trying our luck." At this point, Ye Linjie shrugged helplessly.
Here it comes.
It is for their own curiosity and their academic exploration.
Whether you can happen to encounter it depends on luck.
Qiao Bai: “…”
Got it.
No wonder the authorities did not take any action after discovering this video... What is the difference between such an action and looking for a needle in a haystack? But they can only use such methods and means to find a needle in a haystack.
"Everyone, conserve your energy and have a good sleep tonight, so that we can have the strength to look for that extraordinary creature that looks like the sunflower tomorrow!" Qi Rong encouraged everyone with a bright smile.
Sleep sleep.
According to the vigil order last night, Qiao Bai and Qi Rong were the first group.
When the flat-headed brother Sha Yi and the hired uncle came to take over the shift, Qiao Bai was finally able to go back to his sleeping bag and rest.
It’s different from yesterday when I tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
Today, as soon as Qiao Bai's head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.
Qiao Bai: “……?”
Before closing his eyes, Qiao Bai vaguely realized that something seemed to be wrong... But before he had time to think about it, Qiao Bai fell into a state of sleep.
…
"Qiao Bai, Qiao Bai, this time the teacher brought us together to contract a pet beast, what kind of one do you want to find?" Qiao Bai had just come to his senses when Li Gan hugged his shoulders.
Li Gan's enthusiastic voice rang in Qiao Bai's ears.
Turning his head, Qiao Bai saw Li Gan's familiar face winking at him.
Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.
Then I remembered.
oh.
Today is the day they contract their pets.
In the past two years, there are not many students in Dongzhou City who have awakened their potential to become Beast Tamers. There are only about ten in total, and they are divided into two classes. There are only six people in their class.
But there are seven teachers alone.
In order to allow each of them to contract a pet beast that is strong enough to be used in the army against the beast tide after proper training, the school specially hired a fifth-rank beastmaster to take them to the forbidden land to capture and contract extraordinary creatures.
If only they could be tamed.
Even young dragons can be contracted.
"I want to contract a dragon with super strong attributes!" Li Gan said with great joy, "After I graduate from three years of higher education, I might be able to join the First Legion!"
"It is said that every beastmaster in the First Legion holds a dragon seed! That's a huge army of dragons!"
“How handsome!”
Li Gan's eyes seemed to be glowing when he spoke.
An entire army of dragon-attributed pets... "It's kind of cool." Qiao Bai imagined the scene a little bit, and it was indeed very cool.
Even if the First Legion has the smallest number of people, there are still nearly two hundred people.
More than two hundred extraordinary creatures with dragon attributes were released one after another.
The sky is filled with images of dragon-attributed pets...
So cool! "Compared to dragon species, natural elements are obviously more powerful! Wind, water, thunder, fire, and ice, I want them all!" Qi Yue pulled Lin Weiwei over and snorted, saying, "Let them work together, maybe they can produce some unexpected magical effects!"
"The dragon attribute is the most powerful!"
“Natural elements are the best combination!”
"The dragon attribute is invincible in the world!"
"Natural element combos are plentiful!"
"Son! Help daddy to fight her!"
"Weiwei! Do you also think that what I said is more right? Help me to confront him!"
It was not enough for Li Gan and Qi Yue to confront each other, they even dragged in innocent passers-by Qiao Bai and Lin Weiwei.
Qiao Bai took a step back: "What are you talking about, Dad? I don't understand what you are saying."
"That Xiaoyue...if possible, I would like to contract a pet that is in tune with me and can become like a family member to me." Lin Weiwei said in a low voice, a little embarrassed.
Qi Yue: “…”
Qi Yue was stuck.
Qi Yue glared at Lin Weiwei and said in a tone full of regret: "The strength of the pet is the most important thing, okay! Family? Why should you be family with your pet?"
Lin Weiwei lowered her head and said nothing.
Qiao Bai frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling like something was wrong.
"You're right. The dragon attribute is the most powerful. Contract a pet with dragon attributes and train it well. In the future, you will be able to kill more ferocious beasts in the beast tide!" Li Gan waved his fist with an expression of agreement that could not be more agreeable.
Qiao Bai typed a question mark again.
Just when Qiao Bai wanted to ask something, Zou Tang, who was not far away, pulled Huo Xiaotian over and said with an excited expression: "Are you discussing what kind of pet to contract?"
"I want to contract a pet with stronger defense!" Zou Tang said, touching his chin, "Strong defense and endurance, so that it can better hold on to the end in the war!"
Huo Xiaotian: "Oh, then I choose the dragon attribute."
"We really think alike!" Li Gan held Huo Xiaotian's hands tightly with tears in his eyes: "That's right, the dragon attribute is the strongest!"
Qiao Bai: “…”
For a moment, Qiao Bai felt that he didn't seem to know these classmates of his.
Except for Lin Weiwei...something seems a little weird about the others?
Without waiting for Qiao Bai to figure out the reason.
Suddenly, the other five people all looked in the direction of Qiao Bai, with warm, concerned, and curious expressions on their faces, and asked in unison: "Qiao Bai, what kind of pet do you want to contract?"
Faced with those eyes staring at him, Qiao Bai subconsciously felt a little scared.
Next second.
They looked away, and one by one they smiled and said, "The pet that Qiao Bai wants to contract is different from the pet that we want to contract!"
"Yeah, I've seen Qiao Bai secretly talking to those weak supernatural beings before."
"I know, I know. Qiao Bai particularly likes to talk to himself in front of extraordinary creatures like honey bugs, birds, and silver fish. I would say that these extraordinary creatures are worthless!"
"I've also seen Qiao Bai bandaging the wounds of these extraordinary creatures and carefully releasing them!"
"That's right, he has no potential, and he won't become that strong after the contract. It would be a waste of time to train him."
"Qiao Bai, you can't do anything reckless this time. The teacher said that the next beast tide will come in about three to five years. We must be able to take responsibility!"
"If all else fails, why don't we let Qiao Bai contract a pet like ours? We can even train with him!"
As he listened... Qiao Bai couldn't help but feel a little confused.
No...? Is this person they are talking about really him? He is aloof, not very sociable, kind to weak supernatural creatures, not good at breeding, and doesn't like fighting... Qiao Bai feels uncomfortable listening to him.
He... is really such a character.
Qiao Bai's brain felt a little dizzy.
And when he heard them discussing the pets they wanted to contract in the future, Qiao Bai's mind immediately popped up an image of dark clouds covering the sun and dazzling golden red. Then it turned into a pig cat? A cat bug? The two images flashed through Qiao Bai's mind, and in the end, nothing was left.
"Ah... let's talk about it later." Qiao Bai neither denied nor agreed with what they said.
Let's take it one step at a time.
Qiao Bai thought with his somewhat sluggish brain.
After all... there will be a solution.
After a while, the classmates around him returned to their cheerful and talkative appearance, without any of the energy they had when criticizing Qiao Bai before.
Seeing their laughter and joy, it seemed as if they were here to contract pet beasts, become stronger, and fight against the coming beast tide.
Instead, it seems like we are here for a picnic.
A subtle sense of disconnection arises spontaneously.
Qiao Bai didn't say anything, nor did he think deeply.
Just keep moving forward like this.
I don’t know how long they walked... With the help of the fifth-level beastmaster Ye Linjie, Li Gan successfully contracted a baby unicorn beast that he had always dreamed of, and Huo Xiaotian also contracted a baby dragon.
Qi Yue contracted a Fire Crow King, Lin Weiwei contracted a Light Butterfly, and Zou Tang contracted a Balin Turtle cub.
In the end, only Qiao Bai had not found a suitable pet to contract with.
"Qiao Bai, what kind of pet do you want?" Ye Linjie smiled gently and looked at Qiao Bai and asked, "You should have a choice in mind."
"If not, you can think about which legion you plan to join after graduation, or you can choose based on the characteristics of the legion."
"Teacher Ye...I, let me think about it again." Qiao Bai said hesitantly without thinking.
"Huh?" Ye Linjie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said with a nonchalant expression: "Being called teacher... this experience is the first time for me, but it's okay if you want to call me that."
Qiao Bai: “?”
Isn't she a teacher? Ye Linjie...Shouldn't she be a teacher? "Hey, Captain Ye, don't be angry. Qiao Bai sometimes speaks like this without thinking!" Li Gan smiled and hugged Qiao Bai's shoulders, bumping his shoulder with his own: "Be careful next time!"
Ye Linjie waved her hand: "It's okay, I think this title is quite interesting. If the beast tide stabilizes in the future, I might become a teacher if I have time."
A few people chatted for a while, and the topic turned back to the pet that Qiao Bai wanted to contract.
Everyone has his own opinion.
The only point they could agree on was that Qiao Bai had to contract a powerful pet.
Even if it cannot shock the heaven and earth and make ghosts weep, it must be able to play a 100% role in the battle against the ferocious beasts when the beast tide comes!
Qiao Bai wanted to say... Obviously his pet is quite powerful...? It's so awesome when he takes it out? In a blink of an eye.
Qiao Bai found himself alone.
Because he hasn't found a suitable pet yet, everyone decided to stay with Qiao Bai in this dangerous forbidden place for one night, and leave after finding a suitable pet for Qiao Bai.
Everyone who has a pet went to collect food.
Qiao Bai picked up some branches and dry firewood nearby to start a fire.
Look down.
A speechless expression appeared on Qiao Bai's face.
How to put it... He felt like someone was treating him like a fool again.
The branches and firewood on the ground were arranged in a very orderly manner, as if they were leading him in a fixed direction.
Qiao Bai: “…”
Qiao Bai took a look and decisively turned his head away, discarding these branches and firewood that were obviously of very high quality, and picked them up casually in another direction.
In a place that Qiao Bai couldn't see, the air inexplicably stagnated for a moment.
It seemed as if there were transparent air tentacles waving their claws and fangs behind Qiao Bai, expressing the deep anger in his heart.
hateful!
Humans who don't play by the rules!
As he picked up the items, Qiao Bai's arms felt empty.
There were no other branches or firewood on the ground except the regularly arranged branches and firewood just now.
Qiao Bai: “…”
very good.
This is not even pretending, it's just showing your cards, right?
Qiao Bai patted the dust that was not very dirty on his hands, turned around and left.
Pick it up? No.
I didn't pick up any.
Go straight back.
The air was inexplicably stagnant once again, as if it was severely shocked by Qiao Bai's outrageous behavior.
no?
Why didn't this human play by the rules? Qiao Bai went straight back to the camp not far away and sat there in a very bossy manner, waiting for his companions to come back without working.
After a while.
Qiao Bai saw several people walking towards him in a group.
"Look, dad loves you! I was afraid that you wouldn't collect enough firewood by yourself, so I helped you collect a lot." Li Gan, who was supposed to be hunting, came back with a large bundle of firewood and placed it in front of Qiao Bai.
After taking a look, Qiao Bai was immediately sure.
These were the ones that appeared in front of him before, but he did not pick them up.
Qiao Bai raised his head and glanced at Li Gan with a strange look.
Li Gan, who was smiling broadly, didn't notice anything was wrong at all, and continued to say: "You don't have to thank me, Dad. After all, you are my good son!"
"Shouldn't he be the golden thigh you want to cling to?" Qiao Bai asked with a calm smile.
Li Gan was stunned for a moment, as if he was stunned by Qiao Bai's words, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The last person to come back was Ye Linjie, who had hunted a wild boar weighing over 100 pounds. The compound-eyed poisonous spider put away its venom sac and slowly dragged the cleaned and gutted wild boar back to the camp.
When Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian saw the dead wild boar, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh! I know this kind of creature. It's not a supernatural creature, but it contains a lot of supernatural power, which makes its meat firm and rich in fat. It is said that it tastes super good!"
"Captain Ye is awesome! We are in for a treat tonight!"
The two people jumped up excitedly, Li Gan also stepped forward excitedly, Qi Yue pulled Lin Weiwei to join in, and they couldn't wait to cut the wild boar into pieces and then taste the delicious food.
"Light up the bonfire first, there's no rush." Ye Linjie said with a gentle smile. She turned and looked at the pile of firewood in front of Qiao Bai: "Thank you for your help, Qiao Bai."
Qiao Bai looked at the neatly stacked firewood in front of him, then looked at the six people who were happily dissecting wild boars. He slowly extended a finger towards the pile of firewood.
boom--
With a slight noise, the firewood that had been neatly piled up just now was scattered all over the ground in front of Qiao Bai.
If Qiao Bai wasn't sure, he would have thought that he had used a lot of strength if he had only touched it lightly with his hand for a moment... just a moment.
Looking down at the scattered branches and firewood, Qiao Bai immediately saw two tiny, palm-sized extraordinary creatures lying inside.
A bean sprout that looks like it has just sprouted, with only two tender leaves on its head and thin branches.
The other figure was somewhat transparent, with a hint of light purple, like a ghost, a small, round ball, with a tiny tail wrapped around the bean sprout's body.
The conditions of both sides are very bad.
Even though they were dying, they still kept attacking each other.
A fight to the death, a fight to the death, and incompatibility are the best descriptions of them.
