Chapter 14 Little Treasure, the Tool
After the thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, Long Batian did not dare to return immediately.
Xiao Bao's body is incredibly resilient; his internal organs have all been metallicized. I believe he will definitely be able to withstand the baptism of heavenly lightning.
On their side, Nie Xiaoxiao was unconscious, Achen's soul was severely damaged, and the fathead fish suffered a backlash and was also seriously injured.
He was the only one with minor injuries because he was quite far from Ah Chen at the time.
Therefore, he must ensure that he himself is not injured again so that he can protect this group of wounded.
But after waiting for a long time, Xiao Bao still hadn't come looking for him. So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and wrap all the seriously injured people up with his tongue, making sure they were completely covered, before heading towards the deep ravine struck by the lightning.
The original deep ravine has been cleaved into pieces, and its original appearance is no longer recognizable.
The seawater below the abyss was constantly churning, and all the sea creatures began to mate frantically, as if they had been stimulated by something.
Long Batian found the scene too offensive. Although he was a desert beast and had transformed into human form early on, he was still a virgin and had never seen such a scene before. He could only turn his head away in embarrassment.
Helpless, he could only patiently continue to wait.
He guessed that Xiao Bao, who had just been struck by lightning, was probably hiding in some rocky cave recovering.
They waited for more than three hours.
Just as he was about to lose his patience and risk going down into the sea to find Xiaobao, he saw a pinkish-blue fluorescent light slowly rising from the deep sea.
He looked closely and saw that there were actually two people in the halo of light!
A man and a woman held hands. The man's gaze was tender, and the affection in his eyes was as sticky as silk threads.
The woman leaned softly against the man's arm, her eyes filled with curiosity as she carefully looked around.
For a moment, Long Batian couldn't tell whether the newcomer was friend or foe, so he could only remain on guard to deal with any sudden changes.
Xiao Bao finally saw Long Batian waiting there. He hugged the spirit lamp tightly and flew towards him.
Long Batian was startled, not understanding what he was going to do, and asked in a fierce but weak voice, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"Little Tiantian, it's me, Xiaobao! We've only been separated for five hours, don't you recognize me already?" Xiaobao said, looking aggrieved.
Despite being a burly man, Long Batian was also quite helpless about being called "Little Tiantian".
But Xiao Bao said he was A Chen's uncle, and he was A Chen's contracted beast, so he was essentially Long Batian's elder.
Since he couldn't be called Xiao Tiantian, he could only be called Xiao Longlong, so Long Batian let him call him that.
"You, you've successfully transformed into human form?" Long Batian was overjoyed.
"Of course!" Xiao Bao said proudly.
"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is my partner. Her name is Lingdeng. I named her that. Doesn't it sound nice?" Xiao Bao said, pointing to the girl next to him.
Upon seeing the girl, Long Batian sensed a faint but powerful pressure emanating from her.
Her cultivation level is definitely not low, and may even surpass Xiao Bao's.
This simple-minded and adorable iron-eating beast is incredibly lucky. Born in such a remote wilderness, it was able to encounter the reincarnation of a saint.
Despite having no contract, he was still able to stay by the Saintess's side.
Everyone is injured, but he unexpectedly gets a great opportunity, breaks through to the ninth level, and successfully transforms into human form.
Then, along the way, they also found a partner who had successfully transformed into human form, and who was also incredibly cute.
If they weren't on his side, he would at least have to fight Xiaobao and snatch his partner away.
Orcs are that simple and brutal; if they find a female pleasing to the eye, they can take her mate if they can defeat her.
"Hello, Spirit Lamp, welcome to our team. I am Achen's contracted beast, Long Batian. If you encounter any trouble in the future, I can help you fight," Long Batian said.
"Who is Achen?" the girl asked, full of curiosity.
“It’s him.” Long Batian quickly stuck out his tongue, releasing all the wounded.
The moment Lingdeng saw Achen, he was eager to try it: Achen smelled so good, his whole body was full of spiritual energy, and if he ate him, he would definitely increase his cultivation.
Xiao Bao understood what she meant and quickly said, "Achen is my sister's son. Didn't you say you could help heal his injuries?"
"Oh, okay!" Lingdeng's face immediately fell, and she reluctantly placed her fair and tender hand on Achen's forehead.
The unconscious boy had a furrowed brow, clearly in pain.
The fathead fish, who was initially wary of her, was now told by Xiao Bao that she was his partner.
Furthermore, it also smelled Xiao Bao's scent on her. When beastmen mate, they leave a unique soul imprint on each other.
Since they were on the same side, Fathead Fish felt relieved.
A pinkish-blue halo flowed from the palm of the lamp, like the warm winter sun, making even the fathead fish closest to Achen feel comfort and warmth from the soul.
Now it finally believed that the magic lamp was healing Ah Chen.
About fifteen minutes later, the lamp stopped emitting light, and small beads of sweat appeared on its forehead.
Xiao Bao quickly reached out to help wipe it, something he had learned from Xiao Bai.
He had always followed Sister Fan, so in his mind, in a partnership, the male should always pay attention to the female and take good care of her.
Lingdeng sensed Xiaobao's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and her satisfaction with him began to increase.
Most of the male sea creatures she had seen since childhood only fawned over females during their mating season. Once they had finished mating, they would quickly flee and never bother with the females again.
Only a very small number will remain to accompany the female in gestation and to raise the offspring together.
But Xiao Bao, this land beast, is clearly different from those sea beasts.
After they mated, well, actually she went into heat first.
Back then, she would mate with any male beast that was strong enough in front of her without hesitation.
So she chose Xiaobao because it was nearby.
As it turned out, he was indeed powerful enough, satisfying her greatly in both strength and stamina.
The reason she followed them ashore was because she was full of curiosity about the land. Before she took human form, she was a sea beast. If she left the sea, she would lose the source of her power and might die if she stayed there for too long.
So she never dared to go ashore.
But now that she has successfully transformed and has a powerful male land beast companion, she wants to take a good look at everything on the shore.
According to the inherited memory, as long as the transformation is successful, one can be amphibious and live anywhere.
Of course, and most importantly, her heat cycle hasn't completely ended yet.
The inherited memories told her that her clan of Thousand-Threaded Jellyfish had a mating season that lasted for a full month. During this time, she needed a powerful male beast to accompany her and meet her needs at all times, otherwise she would suffer greatly and find it very difficult to endure.
Of course, she would never tell him this, otherwise she would scare him away, and where would she find an equally strong backup plan?
Little Bao, full of love, has no idea that he is now just a tool to satisfy the needs of the spirit lamp during its heat cycle.
Seeing her affection for him, his heart overflowed with tenderness.
Long Batian, being a single desert beast, naturally didn't understand anything about love and romance, and the fathead fish, still a cub, understood even less.
The only ones who might understand a little bit, Achen and Nie Xiaoxiao, are still unconscious, so no one tells him that he is just a tool.
