Chapter 91 Thunder: His memory seems a little off.
The rain was very heavy.
Inside the clouds, the red lightning gathered in a certain direction.
They were getting lower and lower, and the pressure they exerted was getting stronger and stronger, clearly indicating that they would fall down very soon.
However, at a certain moment, something like black mist swept by, and the red light seemed to be wiped away, disappearing directly from the clouds.
The sky outside the window was completely covered by dark clouds, and the whole world was gloomy.
The room grew even darker.
The little wolf demon thought for a moment, then jumped off Xiao Jiu's lap: "I'll go turn on the light."
The little wolf demon's body resembled that of a human child, but its hands, feet, and head were still those of a wolf.
So when he runs, the thick, chubby pads on the soles of his feet become very noticeable, and each time he lands on the ground, they make a soft, muffled thud.
Although the little wolf demon said it was "turning on the lights," it actually just pulled on a rope-like thing hanging in the corner of the room to release the spirit peony flower from the net on the roof.
The peony flowers from the Linghua variety are significantly smaller than those of normal peonies.
However, because its flowers are clustered together like hydrangeas, it looks larger than a regular peony.
The entire plant of the Linghua peony is white and translucent, with its soft leaves surrounding the flower like a layer of gauze.
It was refined by Xie Chuanfeng, so it can float after leaving the ground. The way it is floating now looks like a giant fighting fish swimming in the air.
The delicate petals of the peony, resembling fish tails, fully unfurled, radiating a soft, warm light from its petals, stems, and leaves, like a lamp lit in a room.
Although the light was not strong, it was precisely because of this that the warm glow made the room feel exceptionally cozy in the rain.
The room was simply furnished. A bed was placed against the wall in the corner furthest from the door, and a table and two chairs were placed near the center of the room.
On the other side was a futon, a standard item for cultivators, and a large winnowing basket filled with various dried flowers.
Several fluffy tufts were clinging to the flower, their fur colors appearing much more vibrant compared to the dried flower.
Especially the red fox cub that Xiao Jiu brought in first, its fur was like a burning flame, it looked like it was about to embark on the path of cultivation.
And the little wolf demon has already begun its formal cultivation.
He was sitting in meditation on the futon, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.
Actually, the little wolf demon originally wanted to play with Xiao Jiu for a while, but Xiao Jiu said that she could stay by herself and let the little wolf demon go to cultivate.
The little wolf demon swished its tail and thought for a while before finally nodding in agreement.
Cultivation should not be done sporadically; doing so will hinder one's progress.
So the little wolf demon didn't delay any longer, only thinking that he would play with Xiao Jiu after he finished his cultivation.
The house is made of elven wood, so there's no need to worry about leaks or damage from lightning. In fact, it can even transform rainwater into abundant spiritual energy.
Under Xiao Jiu's watchful gaze, the tips of the little wolf demon's fur protruding from its clothes soon began to move without any wind.
Nearby, the baby red fox, which had been licking its own fur, noticed something and rolled over and sat up.
It squinted its eyes, intently sensing something.
This little red fox, like the other monsters on the pile of dried flowers, only arrived in this world in the last few days.
Although there were still empty houses, seeing how frightened and uneasy these little creatures were in their unfamiliar surroundings, the little wolf demon offered to take care of them.
This was originally just an unintentional act, but unexpectedly it led everyone to discover the little red fox as a promising talent for cultivation.
Its talent might even surpass that of the little wolf demon; it spontaneously senses spiritual energy without any guidance.
Judging from this, the little red fox should be able to draw qi into its body soon.
Xiao Jiu couldn't sense any spiritual energy.
Although his body can also absorb spiritual energy, it's the same as when he absorbed blood mist before; his body will absorb it spontaneously when he feels hungry.
With the spiritual plants and fruits available, he could eat until his stomach was round and full every day, so he hardly needed to absorb any spiritual energy from the air.
The little wolf demon was cultivating, the little red fox had entered meditation, and the remaining little demon beasts, who had only developed a little bit of intelligence, were fast asleep and snoring softly.
Listening to the sound of rain and feeling the silence in the room, Xiao Jiu slowly pulled her legs up and curled up in the chair.
Come to think of it, this is actually the first time Xiao Jiu has experienced such a long period of free time since leaving that world where there are no other living beings.
When Xiao Jiu and the system first fell into this situation, they were busy all day long trying to survive and had no time to relax or rest.
Later, this place became a dimensional world.
Safety was assured, but in order to wake Grandma Tai Li up as soon as possible, everyone was busy planting, harvesting, and transplanting flowers...
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu blinked once.
He slowly sat up straight.
It seems... that's not the case.
It seems that they stopped planting flowers continuously for a period of time, which was not long after Fu Yu and Xie Chuanfeng rescued the little wolf demon and other monsters.
Why is that?
Why weren't any more flowers planted?
Has something happened?
But Xiao Jiu couldn't remember.
Since his brain was repaired and the crystalline core grew back, his memory has been exceptionally good.
He remembered everything, but couldn't recall why no one had planted lower-level flowers anymore.
Xiao Jiu tried to recall again, but found that in her memory, they had been planting flowers almost without interruption.
High-tier flowers, which are the same level as farmland, are designated flowers for producing special food for everyone, while low-tier flowers are planted to pursue efficiency and quantity...
It seems like I've never stopped growing flowers.
That's strange.
Xiao Jiu looked up blankly, then shook her head while holding it.
—His memory seems a bit off.
Xiao Jiu couldn't understand what was wrong. He could only mutter, "What's wrong with Xiao Jiu's brain...?"
However, no one could answer him.
Zombies are not good at thinking. Even the zombie king, who has reached the top level of zombie combat power, actually relies more on instinct and intuition to act.
So Xiao Jiu was puzzled for a while, and after realizing that she couldn't figure it out, she gave up.
"Wait, let's ask the system. The system will tell Xiao Jiu."
Just as Xiao Jiu uttered those words to herself, a voice came from the other side of the room.
"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jiu looked up and saw it was the little wolf demon.
The little wolf demon remained in a meditative posture, but his green eyes were not closed as usual; instead, he looked at Xiao Jiu with concern.
The little wolf demon said, "I was afraid something might have happened, so I wasn't completely focused. I just heard you talking, did something happen?"
Xiao Jiu glanced at the little wolf demon's slightly swaying fur and shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just playing by myself."
The little wolf demon looked at Xiao Jiu carefully for a few more seconds, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll finish today's lesson in a little while, wait for me."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But if you get bored, you can just call me."
Playing with my younger brother is also very important!
Xiao Jiu blinked and said, "Okay."
Only then did the little wolf demon feel relieved and continue cultivating.
Xiao Jiu looked at the little wolf demon and quietly covered her mouth.
He couldn't disturb the other person's cultivation any longer!
So although she verbally agreed, Xiao Jiu actually had no intention of doing anything to "wake up the little wolf demon".
Xiao Jiu doesn't know how to cultivate, but he can understand some things about cultivation.
For example, one cannot be disturbed during a closed-door breakthrough, otherwise one will suffer serious injuries. Also, when breathing in spiritual energy, one can only cultivate quickly and well by completely sealing off the five senses.
If you calculate the time, it will only take about twenty years for everyone to resume normal cultivation.
Twenty years ago, the concentration of spiritual energy in this world finally reached a level that allowed cultivators to practice breathing exercises.
It happened to be around the time Huanglong Dragon God came, and she probably realized this as well, so before leaving, she wrote a book.
According to Qian Chuan and Xie Chuanfeng, who had read it, the book contained a set of cultivation techniques.
This set of cultivation techniques seems very basic, just like radio calisthenics in the human world.
But the higher a cultivator's level of cultivation, the more they can discover its mysteries.
This technique is indeed simple and basic, but precisely because of this, once a practitioner achieves some success, they can develop a technique that best suits them, no longer bound by fixed cultivation patterns.
A world brimming with spiritual energy does not necessarily become a "cultivation world".
The moment this technique appeared, it raised the energy level of this world several notches.
Because of the creation of this set of techniques, Huang Long, as an "outsider," was immediately rejected by this world after finishing the book.
When she comes back next time, this place will most likely have become a place of spiritual energy.
Although Huanglong is not here, the "pets" here are all extraordinary.
After reading the book, they quickly figured out how to teach those little monsters that had gained sentience to cultivate.
Breathing exercises, body tempering.
Battle, digest.
It's not difficult.
In addition, this world has nightingales and water lilies, so there is no need to worry about cultivation going astray. As long as the demon beasts who are willing to embark on the path of cultivation continue seriously, their cultivation will improve to some extent.
The little wolf demon is one of the best among them.
When Suanni first saw him, he said that Suanni had good talent, and that was indeed the case.
Cultivation is inherently more difficult for demonic beasts than for humans, yet in just twenty years, the little wolf demon has already entered the late stage of Qi Refining.
The little wolf demon can only maintain this upright walking wolf form for now. If he breaks through another major realm, he will be able to freely switch between beast form and this form.
However, like Kui Niu and Cheng Huang, the little wolf demon and the others did not sign a contract with Xiao Jiu, so they could only take their time in terms of cultivation and physical recovery.
These monsters had a simple idea.
They simply dislike the constraints of "contracts".
In reality, apart from the lack of a contractual relationship, what they do is no different from Xiao Jiu's "pets," but they are slower and more tired in terms of cultivation.
Nobody seemed to care.
Monsters have long lifespans, and demon cultivators have even longer lifespans. As for Xiao Jiu, who is a zombie, if she has enough and the right energy to support her, she can theoretically live indefinitely.
They are not afraid to wait.
They will continue to live together and spend many, many years together.
Thinking about this, Xiao Jiu suddenly felt a little excited. He hummed the song that Grandma Tai Li had taught him, and his toes moved back and forth to the beat.
After the song had been sung several times, Xiao Jiu sat for a while longer, but then she couldn't stand it any longer.
But he remembered his promise to Taotie, so he suppressed the urge to run outside and just got up and leaned against the window, looking longingly outside.
Xiao Jiu remembered that Taotie had mentioned thunder.
He thought about it carefully: the dog said it wanted to wait here because it was raining and it might get struck by lightning...
Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up.
Once the rain stops, he can go out and find Meow Meow the dog and the system!
Upon hearing this conclusion, Xiao Jiu became even more impatient.
Just as he was turning his head to look left and right, he suddenly froze.
He strained to open his eyes and look up at the sky, his pale gray face pressed directly against the cold, hard window.
Xiao Jiu remembered that the system had once told him that when it rained, the sky would be filled with gray clouds.
But the clouds in the sky were a strange blackish-red color.
—Like blood.
Thunder roared.
Xiao Jiu has always had excellent hearing, so almost instantly he could tell that the thunder was different from the previous ones.
At that moment, a strange noise was mixed in with the thunder.
Thump, thump...
It sounded like the footsteps of some enormous creature.
Xiao Jiu blinked.
The voice sounds familiar.
He tilted his head to the side, tilted his head back, and slowly swayed his body to the left and back. Suddenly, his movements stopped and his eyes widened.
He remembered hearing that sound somewhere before.
That was at the very beginning.
Crimson lightning, a gigantic monster.
—That was the sound of Taotie's footsteps.
