Chapter 31: Black forehead
She held the deer grass that had been ravaged by the little monster, feeling very sad. It was originally intact when she dug it up, but after following the little monster around, it was now missing arms and legs, and its branches were broken.
These spiritual plants are very delicate and the possibility of saving them is slim. I wonder if these broken spiritual plants will affect the efficacy of the medicine.
As soon as she walked out of the woods, she heard a familiar series of calls.
“Squeak, squeak…”
Nan Xiao followed the sound, parted the grass, raised an eyebrow and teased, "Yo, less than ten minutes later, we meet again."
Half of the little demon beast's body was stuck in the mud, and its once soft and clean fur was tangled in mud. The harder it struggled, the faster it sank.
It barked at Nan Xiao randomly, but Nan Xiao couldn't understand what it was saying. In this case, it should be asking for help.
"Okay, just do me a good deed and don't move."
As soon as Nan Xiao finished speaking, the little monster stopped moving and obediently raised its paw, waiting for someone to rescue it.
She muttered, "Quite clever."
Xiaoya signed a contract with her, telling her that even if Xiaoya was not there, as long as Xiaoya's body was still on her, she could still use it to control some vines.
It's a good opportunity for her to try.
Nan Xiao didn't dare get too close. She unleashed two vines, wrapped them around the little demon beast's body, and then, with a single push, lifted it up. Mud dripped down the side, carrying a slight fishy odor. She carried it to a nearby stream, tossed it in, and washed the mud off its fur before pulling it out.
She held the wet monster in one hand, and the monster's limbs kept moving around, splashing water everywhere. Nan Xiao frowned, "Don't move. I'm just drying your fur. Do you like it wet?"
The little demon beast stopped moving. The human had fire burning in his palm and thought he was going to roast it, which scared the beast to death.
After a while, the little monster's fur became soft and fluffy again, and Nan Xiao held it and played with it for a long time.
This feels really good, why not take it home?
It’s nice to touch it when you have nothing to do.
"How about you hang out with me in the future? You can eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, and have dried meat every day." Nan Xiao had never raised an animal before, and subconsciously thought that it should like to eat dried meat.
The little demon beast turned its head and ignored her.
It must be someone with great luck, but the person in front of it has average talent, average luck, and a dark forehead, which is a sign of a short life. He only saved it once by chance, and he still wants to contract it. How ridiculous.
If it weren't for this human snatching the spiritual plant from it, it wouldn't have mistakenly entered the swamp area.
So, the little demon beast concluded that she was right to save it.
But it is impossible to contract it.
"If you agree, just squeak once. If you don't agree, just squeak twice." Nan Xiao pinched its ears and seriously asked for its opinion.
Contracted beasts usually sign a contract for life, so she doesn't care if they come reluctantly.
The little demon beast changed into a comfortable position in her arms and ignored her.
Even though this human was annoying, the way she stroked his fur was still very pleasant.
Nan Xiao saw that the little monster didn't say anything for a long time. Did it agree or not?
Nan Xiao wanted to chat with the little monster for a while, but when he felt danger coming from behind, he rolled over and dodged it.
"No, why are you guys here again?"
The men and women in front of me are from the Huanhai Sect and the Tianjian Sect. The one who swung the sword just now was my old acquaintance Song Hui.
Song Hui: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky and still alive."
"I'm very lucky! But you..." Nan Xiao looked him up and down with a raised eyebrow, "I see your forehead is black, I'm afraid you'll have a bloody disaster."
"How about this? You give me 100,000 spirit stones and I'll tell you how to crack it."
"Oh, I'm too lazy to play tricks with you. Hand over the Four-Eyed Spirit Fox, and I'll spare you this time."
"Are you talking about this?" Nan Xiao picked up the little monster in his hand and shook it in front of them.
Isn't the 'Four-Eyed Spirit Fox' the first contracted spirit beast that Song Hui captured for Shen Chaochao in the original text?
The four-eyed fox in the original text has a trace of the blood of the ancient nine-tailed fox in its body. It is a cute pet in the early stage, and its blood awakens in the later stage, making it one of Shen Chaochao's strongest fighting forces.
Tsk, she can pick up the heroine's things at will, what luck she has.
"If you know what's good for you, hand it over and avoid some physical pain."
"Xiaoxiao, as long as you give me the spirit fox, my second senior brother will not hurt you." Shen Chaochao stared at the monster in Nan Xiao's arms. She had a strong premonition that this monster should be hers.
The little demon beast was also very excited when it saw Chen Chaochao. Its limbs were flailing in Nan Xiao's arms, trying to struggle to get out.
"Great Luck One, this is the one it has been waiting for."
Damn, why is this human holding so tight?
Let go, let go.
"Little guy, don't move." Nan Xiao thought it was scared and reached out to comfort it.
"Things in the secret realm are on a first-come, first-served basis. Do you want to rob them openly?" Nan Xiao dealt with them on the surface, but secretly had already planned to escape.
Jing Zhi also helped out, "If the monster hasn't signed a contract with you, it's ownerless, so naturally anyone can try to get their hands on it."
"Really? Well, that depends on your ability."
Nan Xiao saw that the time was almost right, so Xiaoya surrounded Song Hui and the others, and countless vines attacked them.
Taking advantage of the gap, Nan Xiao turned around and ran.
"Damn it! These damn vines keep popping up everywhere I go, and I can't chop them all off. It's so annoying." One day, a Sword Sect disciple said as he swung his sword. His sharp eyes caught sight of Nan Xiao's fleeing figure. "Second Brother, Nan Xiao's gone."
Although the vines were difficult to deal with, they only tripped them up for a while.
Song Hui rushed out first.
"Second brother, Nan Xiao has a magic weapon on her, you can't hurt her, use my sword." Shen Chaochao was protected in the middle by the people of Tianjian Sect. When he saw Song Hui, he threw his magic sword over.
"Okay," Song Hui took the sword and chased in the direction Nan Xiao was running.
After a while, he saw Nan Xiao's figure, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "See where you run to."
A sword was swung out, and another sharp sword energy came out.
Nan Xiao had just dodged when several more sword energies came closer, leaving him no time to breathe.
The sharp sword energy passed through her arms and calves, and the most dangerous part was her neck, where it also left a small cut.
Every move is ruthless.
She reached out and touched the blood on her neck, staring at Song Hui with cold eyes. Although she didn't like the people of Tianjian Sect, she believed that she had never intended to harm any of them.
Shen Chaochao attacked with the intention of destroying her spiritual roots, while Song Hui wanted to cripple her hands and feet.
They are indeed senior and junior brothers and sisters, equally vicious.
Since they can't coexist peacefully, she will overturn the table and no one will be able to escape.
After all, she was originally a vicious female supporting role.
Song Hui felt a little flustered when she looked at him like that.
I always feel like something is going to change.
