Chapter 295: The Secret of the Silver
But the golden-winged rat's weakness...
Xiao Meng was confused.
On one side is its master, and on the other side is its own tribe, and it doesn't want to betray either of them.
I wish I could just wait for death.
[I…] can’t say.
Xiao Meng squeezed the yellow radish in her hand with her little paws. She felt that it was too crispy and not that delicious.
"Then I'll change the question, but this time, you can't refuse!"
Nan Ran smiled and said, "Otherwise, your master will probably be… Hehehe! He'll be used as radish fertilizer!"
Xiao Meng immediately looked terrified, and even the golden transparent wings behind him changed color.
But it also tightened.
Hidden in the fluffy golden fur, it is almost invisible.
It doesn't want its owner to be turned into radish fertilizer.
Scared.
People are bad!
Nan Ran looked at Xiao Meng's watery rat eyes, which were full of fear and grievance, and felt guilty.
It seemed to scare the child a little.
What a sin.
"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Meng thought for a moment. She realized that she couldn't talk about her tribe's weaknesses.
Other than that, there shouldn't be anything else to say.
"What's the purpose of the golden, transparent wings on your back? What are they mainly used for?"
As soon as Nan Ran asked the question, Xiao Meng's eyes widened.
Why is this woman like this!
Just asking questions that Mouse can't answer!
Nan Ran blinked and saw Xiao Meng's shocked expression. She didn't know how to respond and even looked a little angry. Rage slowly built up in her watery eyes. Suddenly, an idea struck her: "Is your golden-winged rat's weakness in your wings?"
[How did you know?!] Xiao Meng immediately entered a state of first-level alert.
Nan Ran: ...
No wonder people used to say that a pet is like its owner.
She didn't believe it before.
Now--
I believe it!
Both the master and the pet need to learn what it means to "cover up the truth".
Xiao Meng also slowly realized that she was too emotional just now and had probably been exposed.
It was suddenly terrified, and even thought that after this woman knew the fatal weakness of the tribe, she would spread this secret. The Golden Winged Rat Tribe would definitely suffer a fatal blow and disappear from the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts!
Especially——
Their golden-winged rat clan is an advanced type of monster. Most people in the world think that they are low-level monsters, but they never know that after their golden-winged rats have completed their training and get some kind of opportunity, they will be promoted to intermediate monsters.
Later it will be promoted to a high-level monster, or even a top-level monster!
It's just that practicing is not easy. Their tribe is weak, and it is difficult for them to survive in the world. It is already difficult for them to advance to a mid-level monster, let alone become a top-level monster and become the top group in the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts.
If this woman were to reveal my weakness, I'm afraid...
It will be even more difficult for the Golden-winged Rat Clan to advance in the future!
Xiao Meng gritted her teeth and stared at Nan Ran like an angry dumpling, as if she wanted to fight.
Nan Ran, however, felt that the little guy seemed even cuter when he was angry.
"Don't worry, I won't reveal the secrets of your Golden Winged Rat clan for the time being."
So you'll tell me later?
Xiao Meng became even angrier and puffed up her face, trying to make herself look more vicious and fierce.
They are completely unaware that in the animal world, puffing up their fur is a sign of anger and intimidation, intended to scare away the other party and also to give themselves courage.
But in the eyes of humans...
The round, chubby little furry creature is so adorable!
Not only did Nan Ran not feel afraid at all, he was in a good mood and rubbed Xiao Meng's head a few times.
Xiao Meng: ...
As expected, in front of the powerful humans, are we, the Golden Winged Rat Clan, still so small and vulnerable?
Desperate!
Woo woo!
No! It can't give up like this! That would only boost others' morale and destroy its own prestige!
I, the rat, will never give up!
Xiao Meng opened his watery eyes wide, his cheeks bulged, and made the decision to betray his ancestors!
It wants—
Eat Nanran out of money!
Let her lose everything!
Ahem!
Nan Ran looked at Xiao Meng, who had just looked so ashamed and angry, and suddenly her temperament changed drastically. She turned her grief and anger into appetite, and ate several pieces of Qun Ying Hui Cui (Radish Meeting) with a crunch. Then, she saw Xiao Meng's golden transparent wings hidden under the golden fluff slowly open.
Swish!
The golden transparent wings, under the refraction of sunlight, flow with colorful white... No, it should be colorful transparent.
Xiao Meng seemed unaware and continued to eat.
After eating up the whole bag of radishes, it stretched out its hand and asked Nanran for new ones.
It seemed as if he really wanted to take revenge on Nan Ran by eating him out of money.
Nan Ran: ...
"Eating too much radish will cause bloating. Be careful or you won't be able to stop puffing later."
Before Xiao Meng could figure out what "puff puff" meant, her stomach suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Then there was a "puff" sound, and the smell of radish being squeezed into radish residue spread in the air.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shushu was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die!!
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
ah!
So shameful!!
Xiao Meng covered his chubby face with his two little paws, but couldn't cover it at all. He wished he could dig a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Nan Ran felt that this little guy was more lively and cute.
She simply took out a small bag of fragrant bamboo rice and some edible fruit cores collected in the Water Demon Forest.
"Want to try this?"
Xiao Meng, who was feeling ashamed and angry, opened her fingers and secretly looked at the new thing that Nan Ran took out.
squeak!
Although it didn't know what it was, its instinct drove it to reach out and grab it.
Xiao Meng hesitated for only a moment, then started to eat the fragrant bamboo rice with his two paws.
Click, click.
Just like a little squirrel cracking melon seeds, it only takes a few cracks to crack open the shell, revealing the whiter rice kernels inside.
Nan Ran was quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, this little guy is quite delicate in eating.
This bag of fragrant bamboo rice was only shelled once.
To put it simply, the current quality and taste are similar to brown rice, which is relatively rough and even a bit irritating to the throat, requiring more chewing.
The rice that Xiao Meng ate off the husk again was more like polished rice and tasted better.
Xiao Meng ate a grain of fragrant bamboo rice, and the mouse's face instantly wrinkled, wondering what difficulties it encountered.
Nan Ran suddenly had an idea and took out another bag of fried fragrant bamboo rice.
Xiao Meng took another one, and this time she really looked like she was smiling.
Tsk, it seems that he likes to eat cooked melon seeds!
Still a little mouse with aspirations!
Nanran also gave it some water kernel kernels and some roasted ones.
With his previous experience, the little guy immediately chose the roasted nuts without hesitation.
But when it eats the fresh, unroasted fruit core, it has a different feeling.
I feel that it tastes better this time without frying.
Suddenly——
With a loud bang, the golden-winged rat Xiao Meng was enveloped in golden light. The little guy, who didn't know what was going on, was so frightened that he dropped the fruit core he had just put into his mouth.
The other golden-winged rats who sensed the presence of their own kind also jumped up and down in the cage in a very aggressive manner.
"Junior Sister Nanran, something bad has happened—"
Feng Yang's voice stopped abruptly when he saw Xiao Meng enveloped in golden light.
When Nan Ran asked him what was wrong, he couldn't remember what he wanted to say just now.
"Senior Brother Feng Yang? Feng Yang? Feng Yang..."
Nan Ran shouted several times before finally bringing Feng Yang, who was stunned and frightened, back to his senses.
"Ah? Ah! Oh!"
He didn't even dare to believe it, and pointed at the ball of golden light: "Is that, is that Xiao Meng?"
He had seen a similar scene once before. It was the only time Xiao Meng advanced after he contracted her.
But the golden light at that time was far less bright and dazzling than it is now.
Nan Ran nodded and said "hmm" softly, then asked about the purpose of the visitor's visit: "Senior Brother Feng Yang just shouted that something was wrong, right?"
After she reminded him, Feng Yang finally came to his senses: "Oh, it's that thing. Something seems to have happened in the golden-winged rat's cage. The golden-winged rats, which had originally gone back to their nests to sleep, suddenly came out from underground, jumping up and down, and were very irritable."
"No one knows what's going on. We've already gone to check it out."
Just as he was thinking of picking up Xiao Meng, he asked for the job of notifying Nan Ran.
"Sudden outburst of emotion?"
Nan Ran frowned slightly, then glanced at Xiao Meng, who was still enveloped in golden light: "When was it?"
Feng Yang said a time.
Nan Ran was surprised.
Wasn't that when Xiao Meng suddenly mutated and the whole mouse was enveloped in golden light?
What a coincidence...
Could it be that the golden-winged rat noticed Xiao Meng’s change?
"I'll go check it out!"
Nan Ran said this and was about to walk out.
Feng Yang was a little conflicted for a moment. Logically, he should have gone with them, but when he looked at Xiao Meng who was wrapped in golden light, he wondered whether this thing was good or bad for Xiao Meng.
Before, although Xiao Meng advanced, the whole mouse was weak for a long time, as if it had suffered a serious injury, with almost all its tendons and veins broken, and it was almost dead.
He worried...
Nan Ran could tell that he was struggling without asking, so she simply planned to let Feng Yang stay here.
Xiao Meng looks like she has advanced to the next level.
When a monster is promoted, its defense is the strongest but its body is the weakest.
If you are not careful, you will fail to advance and end up with a corpse.
"Brother Feng Yang, please stay here and I'll be back soon."
She needed to go see what happened to the golden-winged rat and whether it was related to Xiao Meng's sudden change.
At the same time, we also need to keep an eye on Xiao Meng's advancement to see if there are any tricks to be found.
Feng Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay!"
He felt much more at ease now that he could stay.
But when I looked at Xiao Meng who was wrapped in golden light, I still couldn't help but worry.
"Nan Ran is here/Junior Sister is here..."
The few people who stayed behind at Baishou Peak saw Nan Ran coming and immediately called out in surprise. Then they told what had happened in a flurry of words, full of worry.
Nan Ran actually relaxed the worry he had been carrying along the way.
From a distance, she could hear the golden-winged mice cheering and jumping for joy.
[We are saved! We are saved! Finally, a powerful person in our clan has broken through the shackles and strived for that legendary level of cultivation. We are saved!]
[Great! Once our powerful members break free of their shackles and achieve a breakthrough, they will lead us out of this confined place.]
[Finally, I don’t have to wait for death. God has mercy on me.]
[I didn't expect that there was such a talented person in my tribe, and he was also captured here]
"The mighty ones of our clan are trapped in this deadly place, yet they are still able to cultivate and advance. This truly puts those of us who are content with our lives to shame."
Nan Ran listened for a while and basically, they were all cheering that their fellow tribesmen had been promoted to a higher level and that he could lead them out of the siege.
[I don't know what this senior will become after his advancement. What if he only awakens ordinary talents? What if he can't defeat the human race?]
There were also some worried voices behind the scenes.
Nan Ran listened for a while, and seeing that they didn't seem to have any more useful information to provide, he turned and left.
Xiao Meng was still surrounded by the golden light.
It was in it and looked like it had fainted.
Feng Yang's face was filled with worry. Seeing Nan Ran approaching, he finally felt more confident: "Master..."
I almost shouted out the word "Master".
Nan Ran was the first to ask, "Has this ever happened to Xiao Meng before?"
"I did once, but it wasn't the same."
Feng Yang described a similar situation in detail as if he was answering a teacher's question.
"In that case, this should be a promotion."
Nan Ran thought about it and felt that the key should be those fruit cores and fragrant bamboo rice.
After thinking about it, Nan Ran decided to call Mimi out to ask her.
After all, it was the first one to discover the fragrant bamboo rice, so it would probably know more about it.
Frostmon didn't expect that he would be summoned out suddenly. His aqua-blue deer eyes were a little evasive, and he felt very guilty.
Even the big cat in the pet space began to feel guilty.
But Nan Ran was busy with his own thoughts and didn't pay much attention to it.
What are the benefits of fragrant bamboo rice?
Upon learning that Nanran summoned him out just to inquire about Xiangzhumi and not to have discovered anything, Shuangmi Beast immediately felt relieved.
But this breath was a little too relaxed.
Nan Ran turned his head and shifted his gaze from Xiao Meng, who was shrouded in golden light, to Shuang Mi Beast: "Are you nervous?"
She blinked her eyes and looked at Frost Beast with great curiosity.
[No! ]
Shuangmimon immediately felt like he had been caught doing something bad, and he almost exploded with guilt.
?
Nan Ran raised an eyebrow.
Originally, she didn't suspect anything.
But the reaction of Shuangmi Beast at this time seemed to be a bit of a "there is no silver here" attitude.
"Really?"
She deliberately put on a serious face: "Are you sure?"
"Mimi~"
"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict!"
"Lying is not what good kids do!"
The Frost Beast suddenly became nervous. It took a few steps back nervously, and the color of its aqua blue antlers deepened a bit.
Nan Ran became even more certain that the little guy was lying.
Because of the large fluctuations in emotions, the color of the antlers will become darker.
Mimi probably doesn't know that the change in the color of the antlers will expose the fact that it is lying, right?
Perhaps it was because it was his first time telling a lie, and he felt guilty and nervous, so his mood swings were very obvious, even the color of his antlers was affected.
Just like some people's faces get hot and red when they lie.
