Chapter 106
"Buddhist cultivator?"
A Yan cleaned up the dishes and came to Su Ci and Chi Yanhu. Hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but become curious.
"Susu, what is Buddhist cultivation?" A Yan asked on behalf of Chi Yanhu.
Ran Lie looked at Su Ci with a strong desire for knowledge in his eyes, and Su Ci did not keep him in suspense. He said, "Buddhist cultivation is a cultivator who uses Buddhism to enter the Tao."
Ran Lie's eyes became even more confused.
A Buddhist monk? What was that? Why did he understand every word… No, he couldn't even understand the individual words, let alone the meaning of a whole sentence.
What is Buddha? What is Taoism? And what does the word "monk" mean?
Ran Lie didn't understand, but the image of a Buddhist cultivator emerged in A Yan's mind. Although he had never seen such a person before, he was extremely sure that this was indeed a Buddhist cultivator.
He couldn't help but look at Chiyanhu and asked curiously, "Then Susu, number two... does Ran Lie need to shave his head?"
This time, it was Su Ci's turn to be surprised.
He looked at A Yan, but soon realized that A Yan's memory was gradually recovering, which was a good thing.
As for Ran Lie...
He was completely confused. Is there any necessary connection between being a Buddhist... and shaving one's head?
Fortunately, Su Ci shook his head and said, "No need."
The reason why he chose the Buddhist mental method and Golden Gang Palm for Ran Lie was mainly because he valued the Buddhist way of cultivating the mind and tempering the character. Combined with the palm method, it would allow Ran Lie to better exert the power of the Red Flame. He had never thought of really letting Ran Lie become a monk.
Naturally, he did not need to abide by the Buddhist rules and regulations. After all, Ran Lie was only in his early teens and was in the period of growing up. A strong body was also the key to his control over the power of his bloodline.
So, you still have to eat meat, but there is no need to be a vegetarian.
Insist on what is useful and discard what is useless. Being too rigid about formalities will only make you complacent.
Ran Lie listened to Su Ci's teachings and nodded as if he understood. Then, Su Ci taught him the Buddhist cultivation method.
Just like Rong Heng, Su Ci would only continue with the rest of the content after he had memorized the mental method.
Compared to the little lion, Ran Lie's memory is obviously better. After all, he can use his mental power to explore the surrounding situation. People with strong mental power often have good memories.
However, the Buddhist cultivation method is much more obscure and difficult to understand than the straightforward sword cultivation method. It is also very difficult for Ran Lie to memorize it completely.
In addition, he is unable to speak now, making it even more difficult to recite.
Su Ci had other things to do and couldn't stay with him all the time. The same was true for A Yan, so he thought of another way -
"Xiaozhi, I'll leave Ran Lie to you."
When Su Ci was reciting the Buddhist mantra for cultivating the mind, he had the base's intelligent computer record it. Even if Ran Lie couldn't read the words, he could still understand them.
Of course, Su Ci still wrote down the mnemonic word for word, then had the intelligent brain scan it and displayed it to Ran Lie on the light screen.
Words have their own power. Most Taoist mantras are derived from sacred texts. Memorizing these words will definitely help in understanding and practicing.
Su Ci also said to Ran Lie: "You can call on the base's intelligent brain at any time. It can help you memorize the mental method."
Ran Lie nodded.
Next, Su Ci ignored it and got up to go to the coffee table, ready to check the Selaginella and moss he found yesterday.
Ran Lie watched him leave and was about to continue reciting the mental method when he suddenly realized belatedly - wait, he is now the Red Flame Tiger, how can he call the intelligent brain?
Looking at Su Ci's back, he didn't feel comfortable bothering him anymore.
Ran Lie thought for a moment, looked into space, and tentatively asked, "Meow?"
The light curtain slowly unfolded, revealing a light curtain. On the light curtain was the mental formula that Su Ci had just memorized. At the same time, the audio version of this formula sounded in his ears.
Ran Lie was a little curious. It was the first time he had come into contact with such an interesting thing. He couldn't help but say again: "Meow~"
The sound of a cat meowing in a baby voice was heard, and the next moment, the light curtain was retracted and the voice in the ear stopped.
The little Red Flame Tiger was in a playful mood and was about to call the base's intelligent computer again when he heard the calm and cold voice of a young man from the living room: "Ran Lie."
Ran Lie froze, his playful mood instantly vanishing.
He didn't know why, but after turning into the Red Flame Tiger, he sometimes couldn't control himself well and needed to restrain his instincts at all times.
That's probably his animal nature, right?
Fortunately, the breeder's reminder allowed his reason to prevail again, but it also aroused his vigilance.
Ran Lie warned himself in his heart that he must never make the same mistake again. Then he called out the light curtain and continued to memorize seriously.
Sensing the changes in the Red Flame Tiger, Su Ci stopped paying attention to him and his eyes fell on the three cans of spiritual water on the coffee table.
The Selaginella is in the best condition. Soaked in the spiritual water, it looks like the scaly leaves of pine and cypress, lush and green, exuding vitality.
Then there was the small piece of moss the size of a fingernail. It was no longer dry and was full of moisture. Unfortunately, it was most affected by the resentment and had a blood-red color. It was showing a tendency to change into a demonic plant.
The leaves of the small wild grass that was discovered first have basically become moist, with emerald green and light red interwoven throughout, and a faint light flowing through it. It is obviously in a critical period.
If it can eventually transform these light red parts into emerald green, it is likely to become a spiritual herb.
Su Ci thought for a while, then picked up the Selaginella, turned around and waved to A Yan, then took A Yan to the teleportation circle he had carved in the living room yesterday.
"Ayan, observe how I activate the magic circle." Su Ci reminded.
A Yan immediately became extremely alert and used his spiritual sense to observe Su Ci to see how he used his soul power to activate the magic circle.
A faint light appeared in the magic circle.
The light enveloped the two figures and quickly took them away from the spot.
Ran Lie, who was silently reciting the mental method, looked up at them and then looked away. He was not surprised and just thought that there was a transmission platform in the breeder's room.
Su Ci and A Yan appeared on the spaceship's teleportation array.
Ah Yan blinked in surprise as he watched the surrounding scenery change. He could sense that the principles of this teleportation array and the teleportation platform were fundamentally different, and...
The distance that the teleportation array can transmit is obviously farther than the teleportation platform!
"Do you remember how to use it?" Su Ci's voice sounded.
A Yan came back to his senses, looked up at Su Ci, and nodded hesitantly.
He did remember it, but A Yan knew that Su Su's requirement for him was to master and use it, not just remember it.
Su Ci seemed to see through his thoughts. He reached out and touched the top of his head, saying, "You'll get it after practicing a few times. This should be easy for you."
A Yan: “Yeah!”
Su Ci first took a look at the situation of the spaceship. With his current physical condition, he could not teleport too far at once, but with the teleportation array, it would be different.
Not only does it save time, it also greatly saves soul power.
Seeing that there was no change in the spaceship, Su Ci took A Yan and left again, flashed to the land outside the base, and flashed again to the river bank.
The entire river was still full of water, shimmering in the sunlight with a very light reddish hue.
The water in the river, originating from an underground river, was noticeably shallower than yesterday, but that wasn't a big deal. On the other side of the river, the red mist that filled the purification barrier had visibly decreased in concentration.
On the one hand, it is because the purification barrier is constantly running and constantly purifying the resentment. On the other hand, although the resentment has not become a spirit, it also has a certain instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Otherwise, the red mist would not have dissipated on its own when Su Ci walked out of the base on the first day.
Su Ci took A Yan and quickly went to the other side of the river.
Because the purification barrier was constantly transforming, the place was filled with abundant spiritual energy, which made A Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath. He felt that he had never been to such a comfortable place.
Su Ci finally regained some of his old feelings.
However, looking at the still barren land on the river bank, he knew that this was far from enough.
Su Ci looked towards the river, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he saw that the calm water surface suddenly began to shake. Then, a water dragon with bared fangs and claws suddenly flew out of the water and flew into the air like a cloud.
This was a creature that A Yan had never seen before, but he was not afraid. Instead, looking at the water dragon tumbling in the air, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Moreover, A Yan also knew that it was not a real creature.
Su Ci raised his hand, and a golden light was ejected, landing in the water dragon, purifying all the resentment that was emitting a faint light red color.
The water dragon was glowing and tumbling in the air, as if cheering.
In the distance, the metal wall surrounding Base 24.
After learning that the red fog had undergone drastic changes and was accompanied by the appearance of a giant mud monster to the east of the base, the action team did not advance any further. Instead, they stationed themselves on the metal wall and closely monitored the movements over there.
Although the mud monster did not come towards the base and later disappeared for unknown reasons, no one dared to take it lightly.
As for the metal wall tunnel, the action team has thoroughly checked it inside and out, and finally they actually found a giant insect, which they have eliminated together.
Because of this, Yan Ping did not visit the breeder Su after hearing that he still had time to take the cubs out.
Now that people are in panic and he can't reveal the truth, he can only increase the defense force first to reassure the members of the base.
I originally thought that after two days, if nothing unusual happened, I could relax a little. However, I didn't expect that there would be another change on the other side of the river.
"It looks like the legendary dragon!"
The scout who was observing with a telescope screamed loudly.
Yan Ping quickly raised the ultra-long-distance telescope and increased the magnification to the highest level. There, red light and white light intertwined, which was very dazzling. Faintly, he could also see a long, strip-like creature constantly surging above the river.
Judging from the distance, the size of the unidentified creature was no smaller than their combat aircraft.
Yan Ping's expression turned serious.
"Captain Yan, do you want to send a drone to check it out?" a guard asked nearby.
Yan Ping thought about it and shook his head, "Don't alert the enemy."
The size of a drone can be very small, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be discovered by monsters. This has happened before, with monsters in the red fog chasing drones to find the base.
Therefore, there are special regulations in the Prison Star Operation Code. Once a drone discovers a monster in the wild, it should immediately stay where it is or fly in the opposite direction of the base.
Now that the dragon-shaped monster has not left yet, they cannot take any risks, otherwise if they lead the monster to the base, it will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Yan Ping lowered his head and turned on the communicator. Looking at the name marked "Special Attention" on the communicator, he frowned and seemed very conflicted.
The guard next to him couldn't see his communicator panel. Seeing him look so rare, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. He whispered, "Captain Yan?"
Yan Ping came back to his senses, restrained his expression, and returned to his usual calm and composed expression.
At the same time, he edited the text and sent a message to the other party.
“Ding Di——”
Su Ci, who was controlling the water dragon, was a little surprised when he suddenly heard the voice of the communicator.
I didn’t expect that I could still receive the signal even though I was quite far away from the base?
He opened the message and took a look. After seeing the text sent by Yan Ping, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He saw that Captain Yan had sent him this message:
Yan Ping: [Keeper Su, are you... over there on the riverbed?]
It seems that the water dragon he controlled attracted the attention of the base, and this Captain Yan Ping... is quite capable.
Su Ci still admired the captain very much and didn't think about wasting the base's resources, so he replied to him.
Su the zookeeper: [Hmm]
When seeing this accurate answer, even Yan Ping didn't realize that he had been holding his breath just now, but now he breathed a sigh of relief.
So, what was this guy doing over there in the riverbed? He actually made such a big fuss...
Yan Ping was very curious, but he still resisted the urge to send a drone to check. If the drone captured something it shouldn't have, it would be hard to explain.
But I have to say, having such a big boss in charge in the base really makes people feel safe!
After replying to Yan Ping, Su Ci continued to control the water dragon, letting it fly along the river bank. At the same time, the water dragon's body began to shrink and turned into drizzle falling on the land on both sides of the river bank.
Fine and dense raindrops fell, carrying spiritual energy into the ground, nourishing the barren land.
Although he was not getting wet in the light shield, A Yan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and catch the raindrops that emitted a faint spiritual energy in his palm when looking at the falling raindrops.
His eyes lit up slightly, and the red part of his eyes seemed to fade a little.
Although he was not unfamiliar with this kind of normal rain, as if he had seen it countless times before, it was different from experiencing it in person.
Looking at the drizzle, he felt as if his soul was cleansed.
A Yan raised his head and looked at the young man beside him who was as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon. Some emotions were growing secretly in his heart, just like the green seedlings watered by the spiritual rain, taking root and sprouting, growing stronger and stronger.
Soon, the water dragon disappeared and the rain gradually stopped.
The dry and hardened soil on both sides of the river bank became moist under the nourishment of the rain, emitting bursts of earthy smell.
At this time, Su Ci finally looked down at A Yan and said to him, "Go and plant this Selaginella."
Even in barren land, Selaginella can grow without requiring too much nutrients, and the concentration of spiritual energy on the river bank is enough to promote its growth.
This is Su Ci's first step out of the base.
Hearing his words, A Yan nodded, took the can of spiritual water he handed over, and walked along the river bank, looking for the place that was most suitable for the growth of this Selaginella.
Finally, he stopped next to a rock with a lot of gravel next to it. He took out a shovel from the space button and tapped it lightly, and the gravel broke into rough gravel.
A Yan planted the Selaginella in the sand.
Selaginella is light-loving and drought-resistant. It likes loose, well-drained sand and gravel, and often grows in rock cracks.
After planting the Selaginella, A Yan evenly poured the remaining spiritual water in the can on the leaves of the Selaginella. The spiritual water dripped down the leaves, fell into the sand and stones, and was quickly absorbed by the soil.
The Selaginella stretched out its leaves, and the environment was filled with spiritual energy, and it obviously liked it.
Feeling the joy emanating from the Selaginella tree, A Yan tapped its leaves with his fingers, then stood up and turned back to look for Su Ci.
While A Yan was planting Selaginella, Su Ci was not idle either. He found a suitable location and was drawing a teleportation array.
"Susu, the planting is done."
A Yan flashed to Su Ci's side, looked down at him drawing the magic circle, and soon became fascinated.
Hearing his voice, Su Ci did not stop until the last stroke was formed. He looked at A Yan and said, "After you learn how to use the teleportation array, you can use it to water the Selaginella."
A Yan looked at the magic circle and couldn't help but feel eager to try it out.
Su Ci gave him his seat and said, "You practice first."
Ah Yan nervously walked towards the magic circle, then took out his notebook from the space button, on which were already written a number of divine texts -
He still needs the help of divine texts to use the power of rules.
Su Ci looked for a while, then turned and walked to the river bank, picked up some stones of suitable size and piled them next to him, then took out a chair and sat down on the bank.
He drew a line with his fingertips in the air, and soon a miniature water purification array took shape, followed by a miniature spirit gathering array. The two worked together, and with a wave of his finger, they landed on the flat surface of a stone.
Su Ci touched his chin and added a solid formation next to the spirit gathering formation - this was a defensive formation that made the original object ten times stronger than before.
In this way, the stones will not be easily damaged, causing the water purification array to fail.
Looking at the finished product, Su Ci's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. Then he raised his hand and threw the stone into the river, making a thud sound.
Although he could also carve water purification arrays on both sides of the riverbed, overall, this is more economical and affordable.
After all, if it is carved on both sides of the riverbed, it is fixed, but if it is carved on stones, it is different.
The underground rivers are interconnected and connected to a very wide and developed underground water system. These stones with formations drawn on them will be carried in all directions by the river water and continue to play a role.
As long as there are enough such stones, over time, perhaps within a few decades, the entire underground water system can be purified.
After throwing down a stone, Su Ci picked up another one and continued carving.
Not long after, A Yan came to his side and said through the communicator: "Su Su, I have learned how to use the teleportation array."
"Yeah, not bad."
Su Ci didn't look up, concentrating on drawing the formation.
A Yan didn't mind. He squatted aside and watched the young man work. He felt that he could never see enough of it.
It’s great to be able to accompany Susu like this.
After observing for a while and roughly understanding the principle, A Yan picked up a stone from the ground, took out his little notebook, and opened the page where the divine text was written.
Just when practicing the formation, he had used up the power of rules from more than a dozen divine texts. At this moment, A Yan activated the divine texts again and condensed the power of rules at his fingertips.
Then, he imitated Su Ci and drew a magic circle in the void.
Drawing a magic circle in the void is much more difficult than drawing it on paper, but because it is drawn directly using one's own soul power, it can save materials for drawing the magic circle.
If they were human cultivators, they would need all kinds of strange and bizarre formation materials to draw the formation successfully. However, Su Ci and A Yan, who are spirits, do not have this restriction.
Otherwise, with the current shortage of supplies, Su Ci would not be able to draw so many formations.
Compared to Su Ci who could form a formation in just a few breaths with one stroke, A Yan, as a beginner, was obviously much slower.
But he was not discouraged. Instead, he carefully drew the water purification array and then placed it on the stone.
Because he was not skilled enough, he could not adjust the size of the formation according to the size of the stones like Su Ci did - the smallest one was not even as big as a fingernail.
Therefore, A Yan chose a larger stone. Finally, under his careful control, he successfully carved this small water purification array on the stone.
A Yan looked at his finished product, then at what Su Ci was holding, and once again felt the huge gap between him and Su Ci.
However, his mood was only low for a short while before he quickly cheered up.
Precisely because the gap between him and Susu is so huge, he has to work harder. Every second of frustration is a waste of time to catch up with Susu.
A Yan took his finished product and quickly handed it to Su Ci when Su Ci put the stone into the water again and prepared to paint the next stone.
"Susu, do you think this can be used?"
A Yan was a little nervous. He had only mastered the drawing of the water purification array and was still exploring the structure of the spirit gathering array, not to mention the solid array that Su Ci had just drawn.
Therefore, he couldn't complete three formations at once like Susu did, and could only help carve a water purification formation.
Su Ci, who was originally immersed in mechanical drawing and was so bored that he wanted to doze off, suddenly heard A Yan's voice and became a little more alert.
He took the stone from A Yan, looked at it, and nodded, "Okay."
Although this formation is different from the one he drew, as long as it can be activated successfully, it doesn't matter what form it is. After all, they are of the same origin and the principles are the same.
Su Ci casually added a spirit gathering array and a solid array next to A Yan's water purification array, and then threw the stone into the river.
A Yan looked at the stone, watching it turn into a parabola and fall into the water with a thud.
His spiritual consciousness had been following the stone, and after sensing that it fell into the water, it really began to operate normally. A smile appeared on A Yan's face.
He really helped Susu!
Thinking of this, A Yan stopped talking nonsense and lowered his head to find a relatively large stone and started drawing.
Seeing how focused he was, Su Ci forced himself to cheer up and continued to draw the formation.
Although A Yan's speed could not keep up with Su Ci, but with him helping him, he could touch the child's ears when he was bored, and bury his face in his furry tail and rub it, which made Su Ci feel much more comfortable.
If he were the only one doing this mechanical work that required no thinking, he would probably give up before long.
Of course, in the end he only lasted two hours.
However, according to A Yan's statistics, during these two hours, they threw at least hundreds of stones into the river, an average of one stone per minute.
This speed is not slow.
Due to deliberate control, most of the stones remain in the river channel, playing a role in purifying the river water. Only a small number of small stones are swept into the underground river by the river water.
Just as Su Ci expected, after entering the underground river system, they continued to play a role.
Although they currently play a very small role compared to the huge underground river system, with the accumulation of time, they will one day shine.
Su Ci stretched comfortably and stood up to leave. At this moment, he suddenly heard A Yan say, "Su Su, there seem to be fish in the river."
Hearing this, Su Ci couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
He moved closer to A Yan and squatted on the river bank with the child, looking down.
"Where?" Su Ci said, and his spiritual consciousness had already been released.
A Yan was indeed not wrong.
After a day and a night of sedimentation, the river water gradually became clear, and three or four palm-sized fish could be seen swimming.
Their color is very light, almost transparent. If it weren't for the sunlight and the slight reflection of their scales, it would be really difficult to see them clearly with the naked eye.
Su Ci's eyes lit up slightly. Looking at these fish, 108 ways to eat fish emerged in his mind.
Of course, this is just a thought, he still has his sanity.
The sizes of these fish have not changed - of course, it is not ruled out that these fish are still in their juvenile stage, and they will be larger than this when they grow up, but in Su Ci's perception, the aura of these fish is still relatively pure.
This may be related to the fact that the underground river has not been polluted too much. Although the red fog has invaded the land, it is obviously only on the surface. At least the underground river still retains vitality.
These three or four swimming fish are proof of this.
The presence of fish proves that there is a food source for them in the underground river, which may be aquatic plants or algae. When Su Ci used groundwater to irrigate the river, they were swept out by the water flow.
Regardless, this is something worth celebrating.
"Susu, do we want to catch them back?" Perhaps infected by Su Ci, A Yan looked at the fish with sparkling eyes, as if he had already begun to think about how to eat them.
Su Ci couldn't help but cough lightly. Although he also wanted to catch the fish and eat it, it was obviously not the time yet.
He said, "It's too young. Let's raise it a little longer."
A Yan thought about it and agreed. The fish was only the size of a palm. After removing the bones, there must be very little meat left, not even enough for Su Su to fill her teeth.
"Then what measures should we take?" A Yan hesitated and said, "We can't let them escape."
Su Ci squatted side by side with him, looking down at the unconscious fish swimming around, and couldn't help feeling conflicted.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. When the environment here improves, more fish will naturally come here to recuperate. There's no need to rush."
These fish may also bring seeds of aquatic plants or algae. The algae reproduce very quickly. There is abundant spiritual energy here. With sufficient food supply, there is no need to worry about these fish not coming.
A Yan nodded and began to look forward to the scene where there would be more fish swimming in the river.
Just thinking about it makes me feel great!
Su Ci took out the communicator and took pictures of the fish as a commemoration and also as a record. Taking pictures was a very simple thing anyway and did not require wasting soul power.
"Let's go, go back."
Su Ci stood up again and looked at the Selaginella planted in the rubble before leaving. Seeing that it was in good condition, he withdrew his spiritual consciousness with peace of mind.
A Yan reluctantly turned his gaze away from the swimming fish, then followed Su Ci off the river bank and stepped onto the teleportation array.
This time, in order to demonstrate the results of his practice, he took out the few remaining divine texts and activated the power of rules.
The light in the teleportation array lit up, wrapping the two of them in it. When the light dissipated, they had disappeared.
And in that river, those fish were still swimming carefree. They floated up and down, opening and closing their mouths, absorbing the spiritual energy on the water surface.
They were clearly washed here by the current, but they had no intention of leaving - the purified spiritual energy was beneficial not only to ordinary plants, but also to ordinary animals like them.
And below the riverbed, in the cracks connecting the underground river, you can see that as time goes by, the water that originally flowed downwards began to surge up from below.
The tide ebbs and flows, and now it is starting to rise.
Although no new fish fry were washed up by the water flow, some tiny particles that were difficult to see with the naked eye came into the river channel under the influence of the water flow, and were washed to the cliffs on both sides and attached to the rocks.
With the nourishment of river water, suitable temperature, and the spiritual energy that constantly diffuses in the air, these tiny particles that can still survive in the harsh environment have rapidly multiplied and proliferated.
After a while, a faint green spread over the rock...
Su Ci and A Yan were unaware of the new changes that had occurred in the river. At this moment, they had already successfully returned to the nursery.
When the Red Flame Tiger saw them reappear, he stood up and walked towards them.
While they were away, Ran Lie was not idle. He listened to the recorded version of the mental formula while comparing it with the text on the light screen and reciting it carefully and attentively.
He actually didn't know what the mantra was for, but he cherished this opportunity very much.
In the past ten years of his life, no one had ever taught him how to control the power of his bloodline. Now, he finally got what he had always longed for, so there was no reason for him not to cherish it.
As he recited earnestly in his heart, Ran Lie gradually discovered that even with this kind of silent recitation without seeking to understand too much, his restless mood actually gradually calmed down.
During the more than two hours that the breeder was away, his bloodline power did not remain stable, but he found that as long as he silently recited the mantra of the mental method and kept his mind calm, he could maintain his sanity.
Although there is no way to control the power in the blood in an afternoon, it is already a huge progress.
Ran Lie was extremely happy and naturally became more serious.
He is now able to recite the formula silently from beginning to end. It would be even better if he could speak. He believes in himself that he will not make mistakes even if he recites it aloud.
He also compared the words with the pronunciation. Although he still didn't understand the meaning, as long as he saw the words, he knew how to read them.
Seeing Su Ci come back, he was so happy that he wanted to come over to share his joy with him. But when he got to him, he remembered that he couldn't speak...
The little red flame tiger's steps froze slightly.
Su Ci probably understood his thoughts, so he reached out and rubbed the furry head of the red flame tiger before saying, "Do you want to go out for a walk with us?"
Su Ci understood the principle of combining work and rest very well. From the aura emanating from the Red Flame Tiger, he could sense that Ran Lie had not been lazy when he was away.
In that case, it wouldn't hurt to take a short break.
Ran Lie, whose head was rubbed by the breeder again, became even more rigid. But to his own surprise, he seemed to...
They don't mind being touched on the head by the breeder.
Obviously, in the past, if someone dared to offend him like this, he would have jumped up and pounced on the other person, teaching him a lesson he would never forget, letting him know that you can't touch a tiger's head!
But now...
When the breeder touched his head, Ran Lie found that not only did he not resist at all, he even wanted to lie down on the ground and expose his soft belly for him to touch.
Realizing this shameful thought, the Red Flame Tiger's body became even stiffer.
At the same time, Ran Lie's mind also emerged the image of himself lying on the ground with his belly exposed. He could only be thankful that he was in animal form now, so the breeder could not see his red face.
Showing belly or something...
This must be his animal nature at work, this can't be what he really thinks!
He must overcome his animal instincts!
How could a dignified Red Flame Tiger turn its belly upside down and ask for petting? It was simply outrageous!
Thinking of this, Ran Lie hurriedly stepped back a little, and then he heard Su Ci's question clearly.
Go out for a walk with them?
Is that what he meant?
Seeing the confusion in Ran Lie's eyes, Su Ci said, "Go play with Xiaolu and the others."
Ran Lie thought of Number Seven who had appeared outside his door that morning, and of course Number Three and Eight, and then he thought of the night when the monsters invaded the nursery...
He actually wanted to know what exactly happened that night after he turned into the Red Flame Tiger.
However, he couldn't speak now, so there was actually no way to ask, and... could he really still walk around the nursery after completely transforming into a beast?
Ran Lie thought that the keepers would keep him in the room until he could regain his human form...
If he went outside like this, he would be taken away immediately if he was discovered. He didn't want to be taken away for experiments like No. 4!
"Number Four is back."
Su Ci, who could hear the inner voices of animals, knew what Ran Lie meant without him saying anything. "Besides, he now has a name, Rong Heng."
Then, Su Ci continued, "As long as you don't leave the nursery and don't disturb others, you can go wherever you want."
Ran Lie was startled, and suddenly remembered the morning when he came to look for the breeder - so when he approached the door, the door opened automatically. Wasn't it because of a malfunction?
"With me here, you don't need to worry about being seen and taken away."
Su Ci said all he wanted to say. As for whether they believed it or not, he didn’t care, so he didn’t say anything else and prepared to leave to see what the cubs were doing.
"Ayan, let's go."
However, Ayan rejected his invitation.
"Susu, I want to stay and write." said the child.
This morning, practicing the use of formations and drawing water purification formations almost used up all the divine texts he had prepared before. He needed to replenish some while he had time in case of emergency.
Since A Yan was so self-aware, Su Ci certainly wouldn't stop him.
"Yeah." He nodded, but before leaving, he couldn't help but remind her, "Too much is as bad as too little. You can handle it yourself."
A Yan nodded his head and agreed seriously.
Ran Lie heard their conversation, but ultimately did not follow Su Ci out. However, when he wanted to recite the mantra of the mental method silently as before, he found that he could not concentrate as before.
He would always read a few sentences and his thoughts would wander.
A Yan also noticed his frequent distractions.
He sketched out a complete divine text, and after putting down the last stroke, he spoke, "If you can't calm down, then go out for a walk. The nursery has changed a lot while you've been sleeping."
