Gold-swallowing beast
Little Tuntun has officially settled down in the ancestral land of Liyuan.
As its bloodline gradually awakens, this Chaos Devouring Beast cub's appetite becomes astonishing, and its tastes are discerning. It loves anything containing energy, from immortal crystals and spiritual herbs to magical artifacts and minerals, accepting everything without hesitation, making it a veritable walking gold-devouring beast.
One day, Fang Qingyu had a sudden urge to check on the few Chaos Dao Fruits he had carefully cultivated for hundreds of years, which were about to ripen.
As soon as we arrived at the herb garden, we saw a small, dark figure clinging to the lowest branch, happily munching on a fruit, with several clear teeth marks already left on the peel!
"You little brat! Shut up!" Fang Qingyu was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened, his heart bleeding! That was the Chaos Dao Fruit, an incomparably precious fruit that could help people comprehend the Great Dao of Chaos! He himself was reluctant to use it lightly!
Startled by the roar, Little Tuntun darted down the tree with the fruit in its mouth and disappeared in a flash, leaving Fang Qingyu to beat his chest and stamp his feet in frustration at the damaged Dao Fruit tree.
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront that little bastard.
As a result, they ran into Fang Li on the way, who was "educating" Xiao Tun Tun.
Little Tuntun was being held by the scruff of her neck by Fang Li, her four short legs flapping in the air, with half a piece of the Chaos Spirit Fruit chewed up in her mouth, and her big eyes brimming with tears, looking extremely aggrieved.
Fang Li looked exasperated and tried to coax Xiao Tun Tun gently, "Xiao Tun Tun! That's a treasure that your father... your grandfather carefully planted! You can't eat it! Do you hear me? If you keep gnawing on it, there won't be any good food left!" She tried to pry the half-eaten spirit fruit out of its mouth, but Xiao Tun Tun held on tightly, making whimpering sounds of protectiveness.
The system in Fang Li's mind clicked its tongue in amazement: ["Host! This isn't just acquiring a mount, it's bringing back an ancestor! It's the very essence of a gold-devouring beast! How many days can it feast on your meager fortune?"]
On the other side, the disciples responsible for guarding the family's outer treasure vault were in complete chaos.
Someone discovered that a small pile of low-grade immortal crystals in a corner of the treasure vault was decreasing at a visible rate!
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Little Tun Tun had slipped inside at some point and was chewing on the fairy crystals with a "crunch" sound, as if it were candy. He was eating with great relish, and his little tail was swishing back and forth contentedly.
Xie Chen's Star Compass was also nearly destroyed.
One day, he was performing a divination in the pavilion. He temporarily placed the compass on the stone table and turned to get some tea when he heard a "click" sound.
Looking back, I saw that Little Tun Tun had somehow slipped up and was engrossed in chewing on a corner of the compass, making the starlight on the compass dim a bit!
Xie Chen reacted quickly and snatched the compass back. Seeing the clear teeth marks and saliva on it, his usually gentle face cracked for a moment!
The most outrageous thing is that it seems to have a special "favor" for Ji Qianqiu's heavy life battle axe, and has tried to pounce on it and bite the axe blade several times.
Ji Qianqiu was so entangled with it that he could only laugh and cry at the same time. He grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up, shaking it as he scolded, "Little thing! You can't eat this! It's hard on your teeth! I still need it to chop people up!"
Fang Li had a lot of headaches about this, and often chased after Xiao Tun Tun to lecture him: "Xiao Tun Tun! That's Daddy's treasure! You can't chew on it!"
"Those are fairy crystals from the warehouse! They can't be eaten as snacks!"
"That's Senior Brother Xie's compass! We can't swallow it!"
However, this seemingly mischievous and cute little guy one day revealed his terrifying side as an ancient remnant species, the Chaos Devouring Beast.
On this day, Fang Li was meditating beside the Chaos Spirit Eye to consolidate her cultivation.
A black shadow, almost blending into the void, silently infiltrated the core area of the Li Yuan Secret Realm.
The newcomer's cultivation had reached the Xuanxian level. He was proficient in stealth and assassination techniques and was a vanguard spy sent by the Celestial Court's "Heavenly Punishment Plan," with Fang Li as his target!
He approached like a ghost, about to suddenly launch an attack!
At this critical moment!
Little Tun Tun, who was curled up at Fang Li's feet, dozing and chewing on half a piece of immortal crystal, suddenly raised his head!
In an instant, a terrifying glint flashed in its large, perpetually wet and somewhat bewildered eyes! A keen sense, originating from the depths of its blood, made it bristle instantly!
"Awooo—!!!"
A roar filled with primordial ferocity suddenly exploded!
To Fang Li's astonishment, Xiao Tun Tun's adorable little beast form suddenly swelled up like an inflating balloon!
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying behemoth, enormous in size, resembling a Qilin, covered in dark, chaotic scales, with massive fangs and radiating overwhelming ferocity! Its overwhelming power instantly surpassed that of the Xuanxian spy!
The spy's pupils constricted sharply, his heart filled with horror. He had never expected that this seemingly pet-like little creature would be such a terrifying being! He instinctively tried to flee, but it was too late!
The giant maw of the little beast opened wide and instantly enveloped the spy! He didn't even have time to scream before he and all the magical treasures on his body were swallowed up like tiny insects!
"Gulp."
The giant beast closed its mouth, seemingly letting out a satisfied burp, and exhaled two wisps of blue smoke from its nostrils.
The whole process was lightning fast and breathtaking!
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene! The clansmen patrolling nearby, Fang Qingyu, Yun Zhiruo, and even Ye Wuyang and Shen Yunzhou, who had just finished their short seclusion, were all frozen in place, staring at the colossal beast that exuded a terrifying aura, speechless for a moment.
Fang Li was utterly dumbfounded. Staring at the giant beast before her, then at the empty ground beneath its feet, she swallowed hard, exclaiming, "Little...Little Tun Tun?!"
The voice of the unicorn rang out in her mind:
"Holy crap!!! Host! Your dog's cheating! This...this is that cute little thing that was chewing on the table corner just now?! It's taking down a Xuanxian in one bite?! Even snacks aren't this crispy!!"
As if in response to her call, the primordial beast flashed with light, quickly shrank, and transformed back into the form of a small, dark beast with wet eyes.
It hopped to Fang Li's legs, nuzzled affectionately against the hem of her skirt, and made a soft "woo~" sound, as if the ferocious beast that had just swallowed Xuanxian whole was not it at all.
Fang Li bent down and picked it up with trembling hands. Looking at its still innocent and bewildered eyes, she felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.
Fang Qingyu snapped out of his shock and stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the little dumpling rolling around in Fang Li's arms, its belly exposed. He stroked his beard thoughtfully: "The Chaos Devouring Beast... once it grows up, it can devour the sun, moon, and stars, and refine all things... perhaps, it is a great help and a variable for Li Yuan in dealing with the Celestial Court's 'Heavenly Punishment'." His eyes held less of the previous headache and more of solemnity and anticipation.
