Chapter 76
Big cat?
Hearing Su Ci's words, A Yan was slightly startled. After two seconds of reaction, he looked at the room next to him that belonged to Room No. 2.
Big cat, does it refer to the completely beastly No. 2?
Although Ah Yan wasn't particularly interested, he was still thinking about the seeds that had sprouted in the can of spiritual water. They were still waiting for him to plant them in the ground, but...
Looking at the young man's slightly shining black eyes, A Yan still understood what he meant. So, he pointed to Room 2 and silently said with his mouth:
cat.
Then he saw the young man's hand fall on his head again and rub him gently.
A Yan grinned slightly, his dark red eyes filled with joy and intimacy.
As long as Su Su is happy, he will be happy too! Farming is not a big deal!
So, the two of them came to the door of Room No. 2 together. After a simple verification, the metal door slowly opened.
In the room.
The Red Flame Tiger, who was lying on the ground and snoring, suddenly moved his ears slightly and turned his earlobes towards the door.
When the metal door opened, it also opened its eyes and looked outside with a little alertness.
After almost being injected with a sedative in the morning, it no longer dared to be careless and had a natural hostility towards any creature that opened the door.
However, when the figure outside really came into its sight, the Red Flame Tiger's eyes, which had been slowly narrowing, suddenly widened.
It suddenly jumped up, supported itself on the ground with its limbs, and lowered its body slightly. The originally soft hair on its body exploded at this moment, like a exploded ball of hair, and its ears turned into airplane wings folded backwards.
The entire red flame tiger was in a very tense state, exuding an aggressiveness that was ready to explode at any moment.
Su Ci looked at it and tilted his head slightly.
The Red Flame Tiger took a cautious step back and let out a low growl from the bottom of his throat. Although it was full of deterrence, he did not dare to let out a deafening tiger roar like he did when facing the red mist face.
Obviously, the psychological shadow caused by Su Ci's temper last night has not dissipated until now.
A Yan, who was standing next to Su Ci, couldn't help but frowned when he saw it like this.
Then the next moment, the young man next to him took a step forward and officially stepped into the room.
Then, A Yan saw the big cat growling at them. It was frightened and turned around anxiously. It looked around the room, which was very small for it, and finally buried its head and crawled under the bed.
It seemed to want to hide itself, but the bed was too small compared to the Red Flame Tiger's body.
So, as a result of its desperate efforts to squeeze in, the entire bed was lifted up, exposing its big round, furry butt outside.
“…”
Looking at the Red Flame Tiger hiding under the bed, holding its head and shivering, A Yan finally understood why Su Su called it Big Cat.
This really doesn't look like a tiger - although, in A Yan's memory, he should have never seen a tiger, but he just knew it.
Su Cirao watched the scene with interest.
Thinking of the red-haired boy who always had a stern face and looked arrogant and cool, he couldn't help but wonder with a sense of humor, how would No. 2 feel if he knew that he would look like this after he was completely transformed into a beast?
That must be... interesting, right?
Su Ci didn't say anything. After walking into the room, he pulled over chair number two and sat down.
As for A Yan, when he looked at Number Two who was completely dominated by "animal nature", he remembered the red-haired boy who had keenly guessed his identity last night and told him to take care before leaving to deal with the monster.
He couldn't help but take out a pen and paper and wrote on it: [Susu, can number two be transformed back?]
Looking at the words handed over by the child, Su Ci said nothing.
If you want to change number two back, of course you can.
Although he has not done in-depth research on humans with animal blood, based on his current experience in helping the cubs sort out and suppress the power of their bloodlines, as long as he suppresses the bloodline power in No. 2's body and allows his human nature to return, he should be able to change back.
but……
Su Ci doesn't plan to do so for the time being.
After all, he couldn't be asked to take action every time a problem arose, could he? The earth hadn't recovered yet, and his soul power wasn't like before, where he could use and squander it without limit.
Now, of course, it needs to be used in the right place.
If No. 2 can gain the upper hand with his own perseverance and let his humanity surpass the beast part again, this will be enough to prove his character and talent, and Su Ci will not mind teaching him how to tame the power of his bloodline.
This is a test.
After all, this little tiger looks quite cute now. Whether it is human or animal, they are all living beings, and there is not much difference to Yu Suci.
So, whether or not he can regain control of his body depends on Number Two himself...
While Su Ci was thinking, the young Red Flame tiger hiding under the bed saw that nothing had happened, and the hair on its tail slowly relaxed, and the two paws that were holding its head also quietly dropped down.
Still nothing happened...
After realizing this, the little tiger plucked up the courage to turn his head and look inside the room.
From its angle, one could only see Su Ci's pair of work leather shoes and his calves wrapped in gray-blue work clothes.
The Red Flame Tiger froze slightly.
It was clearly just a pair of slender, thin, human-like legs that looked like they would break at a touch, but everything that happened last night resurfaced in its mind.
The terrifying pressure made it tremble all over just thinking about it.
Perhaps it was because after being fully transformed into a beast, it became more sensitive to the suppression from its bloodline. Therefore, among all the cubs, the Red Flame Tiger had the deepest fear of Su Ci and the biggest reaction.
Even the youngest No. 5 and the little deer Jiao, who was of herbivorous blood, were able to face Su Ci with a relatively normal attitude after their initial fear.
However, the Red Flame Tiger still wanted to run away as soon as it saw Su Ci, and did not even dare to think of getting close to him.
Su Ci just sat there quietly, which put great pressure on it.
So scary, so scary...
The Red Flame Tiger couldn't help but want to hold its head again. At this moment, not only its abdomen but also its limbs were tightly pressed against the ground. It seemed that only in this way could it feel a little safe.
However, the silence in the room continued.
The more this happened, the more the oppressive atmosphere spread in the Red Flame Tiger cub's perception.
Finally unable to withstand such mental pressure, the little tiger opened his mouth and yelled threateningly: "Meow——"
Although it tried hard to show its momentum, the sound it made sounded like it was bluffing.
A Yan squatted down and tilted his head to look under the bed. Seeing the cat cowering, he felt that this big cat...
Pretty cute indeed?
That is, there is no way to connect with number two.
"Meow?"
At this moment, the young red-flame tiger huddled under the bed suddenly meowed in confusion, sniffed in the direction of A Yan with its nose twitching, as if it had discovered something.
Noticing its movements, A Yan couldn't help but feel a little curious.
This Red Flame Tiger, seemingly so stupid, could actually sense his presence just like Number Two? From this point of view, he could see the shadow of Number Two in it.
Perhaps because there had been no danger, and the Red Flame Tiger was still young and at an age of strong curiosity, after not noticing any movement from Su Ci, it twisted its body, moved quietly, and poked its head out.
Because of this action, its big butt that was exposed outside finally squeezed a little under the bed.
But in this case, because it was still looking out and there was not much space under the crib, its entire body formed a very curved arc.
Fortunately, it is a cat and is flexible enough, so it did not twist its waist.
A Yan watched it curiously, not knowing what it would do next.
Speaking of which, of all the cubs in the brooding center, the one he had spent the longest time with was Number Two—of course, because he couldn't be seen or touched before, he was the only one who spent time with Number Two.
In his impression, Number Two had a very bad temper, like a powder keg that could explode at any moment, as if he was always losing his temper at any time and place. He was a very difficult cub to get along with.
When the previous breeders discussed privately, they all thought that No. 2 was the most difficult to deal with because he had strong fighting power, but was the most difficult to communicate with and approach.
However, recently, the feeling that Number Two gave A Yan was a little different.
As far as I can remember, after Number Two was brought back from the medical decontamination unit by Susu, he hadn't lost his temper again. The boy had even sensed his presence three times.
This indeed subverted A Yan's perception of him.
A Yan couldn't help but turn his head and look at the young man who was sitting calmly on the chair.
At this moment, his features were gentle, and the not-so-glaring light from the ceiling shone on him, making him look a little softer, without any trace of the brutality and violence from last night.
A Yan knew that all these changes were brought about by this person, including himself. It was because of Su Su's arrival that he had his current happiness.
However, because happiness came too easily, A Yan often felt a sense of unreality, which also caused him to feel uneasy.
He could no longer imagine what his future life would be like if he lost the care and guidance of the young man in front of him.
Su Su is a ray of light shining into his dark life...
No, that's not right.
A Yan thought, although he didn't remember the past, he had a feeling that Su Ci was the light he had been waiting for, or rather, the light he had been chasing.
The light finally shone on him, how could he bear to lose him again?
Thinking of this, A Yan couldn't help but stand up.
He couldn't be so playful anymore. He had to learn the formation that Su Su taught him as soon as possible so that he could help Su Su and become useful to her.
Su Ci observed the Red Flame Tiger for a while, and seeing that it was hiding under the bed and was reluctant to come out, he couldn't help but yawn and felt a little sleepy again.
Why not sleep here before going back to farm?
Su Ci looked at the soft, fluffy, and very clean fur of the Red Flame Tiger and couldn't help but think: Whether it is used as a cushion or a pillow, it will feel very comfortable...
When he was thinking about whether he would scare the Red Flame Tiger if he took action, he saw A Yan, who was squatting on the ground looking at the Red Flame Tiger, suddenly stood up.
The child looked at him with longing and anxiety in his eyes, and then ran towards him with his short legs.
Su Ci thought he had encountered some trouble or discovered something, but when the child came to him, he took out a notebook from the space button.
He turned a page, revealing a formation model drawn on it.
Su Ci: “…”
A Yan was so diligent and hardworking that he was thinking about studying even when he was playing. This made Su Ci, who was lazy by nature, feel a little guilty.
He took the notebook and began to recall what he had taught A Yan before.
After teaching the first lesson of the formation, Su Ci let A Yan practice on his own.
He did not assign any homework to A Yan, because with the child's talent and diligence, he felt that such an arrangement was unnecessary. As for A Yan, he preferred to let him do whatever he wanted and let him paint freely on the blank paper that belonged to him.
So in the end, he just told the child that he could ask him if he had any questions he didn't understand, and then let it go.
According to Su Ci's idea, it would take A Yan at least a month to fully apply and master this first lesson of the formation, right?
After all, as far as he knew, even those top geniuses of the human race who had initially mastered the divine text would need at least a year to truly get started in the study of formations.
Comprehending the divine text is the first step, which lays a solid foundation, while the formation is a further extension and application, which tests one's understanding and talent in this area even more.
For Su Ci, who has already lived a long life, whether it is a month, a year or two years, it is just a blink of an eye, and there is not much difference. He can wait.
However, when Su Ci saw the question A Yan asked him, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Ayan can't speak, but he can write.
He put together the formation structure that he felt more comfortable drawing, and the formation structure that was drawn very standardly according to the template Su Ci gave him, but which always made him feel awkward, and gave them to Su Ci to see.
Then, he was about to write down his questions with a pen, but Su Ci held his hand down.
A Yan raised his head and looked at him with some confusion.
"I know what you want to ask." Su Ci looked at the two formation structures that the child showed him. At just one glance, he could see the difference between the two, and naturally understood what A Yan was confused about.
He just didn't expect that A Yan had found his own path in such a short time.
Yes, everyone has their own path.
What's more, they are spirits that possess different powers.
Just like the divine texts he wrote were different from the divine texts A Yan comprehended by himself, as a rule-based spirit, A Yan's power was fundamentally different from his. The formation structure drawn by relying on this power would naturally have a form that was more adapted to the operation of the power of rules.
Those geniuses belonging to the human race often get stuck at this step.
Unless they meet a teacher who happens to have the same power attributes as them, it will take a long time for them to embark on the right path that belongs to them if they rely on themselves to explore.
Human children are often informed of this knowledge by their teachers in the first class, and they can also make efforts in this area more quickly.
But this is not the case with Ayan.
Su Ci didn't want to stifle his spirituality, so he never thought of setting limits for him. However, he didn't expect that this child would find the right form directly after a simple practice?
This discovery cheered up Su Ci and he began to take it seriously.
He carefully felt the formation structure that the child had figured out on his own, and then said, "There are still some rough edges and it's not perfect enough, but the direction is right."
A Yan, who had felt a little nervous after hearing the first half of the sentence, couldn't help but brighten his eyes.
Su Ci looked at A Yan and explained to him.
"The structure of the formation is not static, because the power attributes of each living being are different. Even living beings with the same power attribute will differ due to the depth of their understanding of power and the strength of their control."
"In order to achieve the same effect as the formation, there must be some adjustments to the basic structure. Therefore, the formation structure you drew in the end is different from the one I drew."
The more Su Ci looked at the formation structure drawn by A Yan, the more satisfied he became.
Perhaps, the art of formation is very suitable for the study of rule-based spirits? In this regard, A Yan has a unique talent.
"That's right. When you have figured out the best form for all the formation structures to adapt to the power of rules, I will continue to teach you the second lesson."
By that time, you will be able to learn how to assemble the formation structure.
"That will be very interesting." Su Ci said, "The combination of the formation structure is infinite and has many mysteries. You will know it when the time comes."
A Yan could clearly feel that the young man's attitude towards him became increasingly gentle. He couldn't help but grin, and his bright black and red eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.
As for Su Ci, after thinking for a while, he simply turned to the latest page and wrote another word on it.
A Yan blinked and watched the unfamiliar font take shape, his expression gradually becoming focused. When Su Ci stopped writing, he was still in some mysterious state, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Su Ci waited very patiently. As the longest-lived creature on earth, what he lacked the least when it came to the things he preferred was patience.
Moreover, Su Ci, who had walked along this road, also understood the importance of this time to A Yan.
After the child's eyes regained clarity, he said, "This is the second divine text."
"You'll bite off more than you can chew. I didn't plan to teach you so quickly, but your learning progress far exceeds my expectations, so this is extra homework for you."
Su Ci stroked the child's furry ears and said, "Of course, learning the formation is still the main thing. When you have enough energy, you can practice this second divine text."
After all, he might not have much time to teach A Yan every day, so why not give him more things. When he encounters a bottleneck in the formation, he can practice the second divine text, which may give him extra inspiration?
A Yan nodded happily, not feeling unhappy at all about having one more subject. He wished he could learn more so that he could grow faster!
Moreover, the benefits he gained from the first divine text made it impossible for him to resist the temptation to learn other divine texts.
"Yeah!" he responded happily.
While they were teaching, the young Red Flame tiger hiding under the bed had already adjusted its posture completely - its big round butt was leaning against the wall, and the poor little bed was pushed up against its head, only covering the part from its eyes to its neck.
A pair of white-haired paws, like those wearing white gloves, stretched out from under the bed and lay flat on the ground.
The whole image fully demonstrated what it meant when one tries to cover up something, it only makes it more obvious. However, the young Red Flame Tiger did not think there was anything wrong with this. It hid under the bed. The shadow of the bed gave it a sense of security, and it no longer trembled.
When Su Ci started to lecture A Yan, its round ears started to stand up from the shape of airplane wings.
The young man's gentle voice sounded familiar, as if it had heard it before...
Because of this familiar feeling, the Red Flame Tiger finally overcame the fear brought by the blood suppression. It tilted its head back and pushed the small bed back, revealing a pair of red tiger eyes.
The Red Flame Tiger secretly looked at the only "person" in the room.
He sat on a chair, only three or four meters away from it. Sitting there, he almost "occupied" half of the room, because the Red Flame Tiger did not dare to run out and get close to him, except to curl up under the bed in grievance.
Even though the young man's attention is not on it now.
The Red Flame Tiger stared at Su Ci blankly.
It could vaguely see the handwriting that the young man had casually written on the paper. Although it couldn't understand it, it could sense a certain power emanating from the words.
This power made it feel afraid and wanted to surrender, but it also had a deep desire to get close to it.
This is very contradictory.
After it was fully transformed into a beast, its brain capacity was not enough to support it to think about such a complicated problem, so the young Red Flame Tiger soon stopped worrying about it.
It sounded like the young man was talking to someone.
Although it couldn't see, the Red Flame Tiger could feel that there should be another person in the room.
None of them paid attention to it.
The little tiger, who was originally scared to death, finally relaxed slowly after confirming this, and gradually listened to what Su Ci explained to A Yan.
Although it cannot understand, there is a mysterious instinct telling it that it will be good for it to listen more.
So, the Red Flame Tiger hiding under the bed also listened to Su Ci's lecture carefully. His eyes, which had always been ignorant and carried the innocence and wildness of a ferocious beast, gradually revealed some human thoughts.
After Su Ci finished teaching A Yan, when he looked at the Red Flame Tiger again, he saw that it had closed its eyes.
The little tiger lay on the ground with its body tense, its round face covered with fur revealing an emotion full of struggle and pain, a bit like the expression on the boy's face when Su Ci first saw No. 2 in the Medical Department building.
The boy was resisting his own animal nature, trying hard to break through the cage that imprisoned his consciousness deep in his soul.
Su Ci was a little surprised.
Because according to his estimation, it should be unlikely that No. 2 would gain the upper hand so quickly and suppress the bloodline power that had fully erupted for the first time in many years.
But now he is close to success.
Seeing the increasingly painful expression on Chiyanhu's face, yet he clenched his teeth tightly and refused to make any sound, Su Ci sighed slightly.
He stood up, walked to the red flame tiger, and squatted down in front of it.
The Red Flame Tiger seemed to have noticed something.
The little tiger, which had originally closed its eyes, opened its pupils with a look of struggle and pain on its face. Its eyes were no longer red, but returned to reddish-brown.
From these eyes, Su Ci could clearly see the shadow of the red-haired boy.
“Meow…”
The Red Flame Tiger uttered a weak, childish moan that sounded quite pitiful.
Su Ci finally raised his hand and pressed his palm on its furry head. A light golden light soon appeared under his palm.
"Accept this power, sense it, and control it..."
While Su Ci was inputting soul power to help the Red Flame Tiger suppress and sort out the turbulent blood power in his body, he was using sound to guide him so that he could master this method.
Just like guiding the little deer Jiao before.
However, No. 2's situation is obviously much more serious than the little white deer. He is older than the little white deer, has been eroded by the power of his bloodline for a longer time, and has passed the best guidance stage, so he can easily enter into complete beast transformation.
If you want to suppress this blood force that can erupt at any time, you need to combine it with other means.
Watching the boy gradually regain his human form, Su Ci thought seriously. However, as he touched the boy's round ears covered with thick hair, he couldn't help but become distracted:
Well, it feels really good.
