"It's so small, what kind of animal is it?"
Lan Zhi raised her hand and looked at the little guy in her palm. It was fluffy and snow-white without any other colors. It looked exactly like a little kitten.
Of course, it could also be a little tiger. Lan Zhi couldn't be sure because there was no "king" written on the little guy's face. Its pupils were a cold green and its eyes were extremely fierce, but it was only as big as a quail and had no deterrent power at all.
“Ouch!!”
Just as Lan Zhi was looking at the little guy, the little guy howled, opened his bloody mouth, lowered his head and bit Lan Zhi's palm.
Its mouth opened to an incredible arc, almost bigger than its body, and looked extremely ferocious. Lan Zhi didn't dare let it bite her, so she quickly threw it to the ground.
Unfortunately, the little guy fell face down, and because his mouth was still open, his sharp teeth bit the soil on the ground firmly.
"Good boy, it's so ferocious, and I'm so lucky that I just happened to see the ferocious beast breaking out of its shell??"
Lan Zhi looked down at the little guy lying on the ground.
The little beast was furious and spat several times, but there was still some dirt stuck in its teeth.
It raised its head and was about to get angry, but Lan Zhi took out a piece of the black snake's corpse and threw it in front of it.
Smelling the blood, the little beast temporarily put aside its hatred for Lan Zhi, opened its mouth exaggeratedly wide, and swallowed a section of the snake body that was much larger than its own size.
After eating, the little beast grew in the wind and instantly became the size of a lion, no longer looking like a quail.
There was a little blood at the corner of its mouth, and it looked at Lan Zhi greedily.
Ferocious beasts have strong hostility towards all living things in the world and will not regard the first creature they see as their own.
In addition, even if the ferocious beasts see their own kind, they will fight and kill without mercy. The only thing that can restrain the ferocious beasts is the master-servant contract, but ferocious beasts are naturally proud, and a contract can only be signed with them when they are beaten to death and are about to die.
Ferocious beasts cannot reproduce on their own. Each one is born by heaven and earth, so they look different, but they have one common feature, that is, they have a pair of green eyes, but the shades of green are different. The newborn ferocious beasts are very weak and are no match for Lan Zhi at all. Lan Zhi only used 30% of her strength to beat the little ferocious beast in front of her half to death.
The little beast's eyes widened with anger. After lying on the ground to gather strength for a moment, it pounced towards Lan Zhi again viciously.
Snap——
Lan Zhi slapped it to the ground.
The little beast pounced again.
Snap——
Keep going.
…
This was repeated about thirty times. The little beast was exhausted. It staggered forward but fell directly to the ground. Pain, despair, unwillingness, and nostalgia flashed in its dark green eyes. Finally, it closed its eyes powerlessly and let out a weak wail from its throat.
“Ooooooo…”
Lan Zhi squatted down and drew a master-servant contract with her own blood. The little beast smelled the blood and opened its eyes listlessly. It saw Lan Zhi's index finger was placed on its mouth with a drop of blood on the fingertip. Without thinking, it opened its mouth and bit it.
This time, Lan Zhi did not dodge and let it swallow it in one gulp.
"hiss……"
This little beast was young, but its teeth were very sharp. It almost bit off Lan Zhi's finger. Fortunately, after tasting Lan Zhi's blood, it had established a contractual relationship with Lan Zhi. It could only reluctantly let go of its mouth and licked the new blood with its tongue. Only then did it close its eyes and fainted with peace of mind.
Lan Zhi cleaned up the traces of the battle at the scene and left with the little beast.
…
Da Rui Kingdom, Imperial Palace.
A white-haired astronomer woke up from his sleep and touched his neck with lingering fear. Just now, he dreamed that a beast as huge as a mountain bit off his neck in one bite, which scared him awake.
"Phew, luckily it was just a dream..." The old man raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his head. Instead of continuing to sleep, he got up, opened the window, and looked at the stars in the sky. He stared at them for a few seconds, then exclaimed: "The disaster star is shining, and another ferocious beast has descended into the world?"
The old man quickly put on his coat, hurried out of the yard, and began to divine the location of the evil beast.
Whenever a ferocious beast is born, some astrologers will feel it, because the ferocious beast is bloodthirsty and will devour ordinary people in large numbers, and will eat an entire village at a time. After eating, it will burrow into the mountains. After digesting the food in its stomach, the ferocious beast will look for a new village to do evil again, and rivers of blood will flow wherever it goes. The most hateful thing is that if the ferocious beast is full in a village, and there are still some people and animals alive in the village, the ferocious beast will bite all the living creatures to death before running away. It seems that God gave birth to them just to let them slaughter the creatures in the world, which is very troublesome.
Every time a ferocious beast is born, it must be dealt with as quickly as possible. This is because the more living creatures a ferocious beast eats, the more diverse its abilities become. For example, if a ferocious beast eats a chameleon, it might gain the abilities of a chameleon; if it eats a cheetah, its body will become sharper and faster; if it eats a snake, it might become more pliable...
Of course, it's just a "maybe". Some ferocious beasts are unlucky and cannot change color even if they eat a hundred chameleons. But some ferocious beasts have this ability after eating one. People don't understand the principle behind this. Legend has it that if ferocious beasts eat more people, they will gradually understand human language and even turn into human appearance.
Moreover, the ferocious beasts' favorite food is humans. If humans are kept together with many animals, the ferocious beasts will eat humans first and then other animals.
"I can only predict that the beast will appear north of the capital, but I can't predict how far away it is..."
The old man's face looked very ugly, because the area was too large. He hurried out of his courtyard and prepared to ask for an audience with the emperor. Just as he was walking on the road, the gates on both sides of the road opened one after another, and six astronomers walked out of their homes, all with solemn looks. After seeing each other, they did not talk to each other, but just walked silently on the street. Their residence was very close to the palace. It only took a few minutes to walk to the side door of the palace. There was no guard at the door, because this door was built specifically for them. Only astronomers who were given jade talismans by the emperor could pass through. Others who wanted to pass through would be banned and killed instantly.
The astrologers entered the palace and activated the jade talisman. The emperor, who had just reclined, was stunned. He had just favored a beautiful concubine, who lay wearily on the inside of the bed, about to fall asleep. When she noticed the emperor standing up, she opened her eyes and called out, "Your Majesty..."
"Go to sleep." The emperor put on his clothes and walked out. He passed through the rockery corridor and came to a pavilion. The pavilion was called "Stargazing". The vermilion pillars around it were carved with the bright moon and stars. This was the place where the emperor specially met with stargazers.
"Your Majesty, a ferocious beast has emerged from its shell tonight and is likely to endanger the people again!"
