Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the small disk on the table. On the disk was a brown, round object.

She picked up the newly bought pestle next to her, the same type used for pounding garlic, threw the magic bead into it, and then started pounding it wildly.

The sound of "dong dong dong" was heard constantly in the house. If someone stood outside, they would think they were making dumplings...

Half an hour later, Yuan Yuanyuan raised her head with sweat on her face, looking at the small plate in her hand.

Damn, this thing is so hard to break.

…

In fact, Yuan Yuanyuan has recently done some research on the purpose of this magic bead.

There are actually only two ways for her to investigate now. The first is to ask Fat Cat. Fat Cat is almost omnipotent. However, ever since Fat Cat told the group about his latest discovery about Yi Qi, Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little scared when she saw him for some reason.

This guy Fat Cat always seems to be crazy... Yuan Yuanyuan actually rarely asks questions in the group now, she just posts to post nonsense or spy on the group.

Her other way was... the campus network. Yes, that's right, the campus network that Tang Shi had recommended to her before.

It is said that there are students who are monsters hanging out there. Logically, the audience should be quite young, but Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't dare to look down on children at all.

When she was still a "child", she looked at some unreliable adults as if they were idiots... So children are still quite scary. At least for students, they spread information very quickly and know about any movement at the first time. In fact, they are the group of people who grasp information the fastest.

Ordinary high school students who are busy with the college entrance examination may not pay attention to what is happening outside the window. However, the monster students are basically of the same type as Tang poetry... For them, the college entrance examination is basically something that can be ignored. Moreover, many of them have racial talents and learn much faster than human students.

It really doesn't work... these monsters can still use cheats and write notes or something.

This is rather shameless, but Yuan Yuanyuan thinks it's okay, and it is said that the cheating behavior has been curbed. However, these monster students still don't study... For them, the most important things are some courses that humans cannot learn, such as witchcraft.

Yuan Yuanyuan found some information about demon beads on that website. It seemed that students would share resources on this website, so there were still a lot of interesting things in it.

She looked at this thing related to the magic bead. The person who uploaded the data obviously copied it from some magic book, because its layout was exactly the same as that in the magic book.

This seems to be a biography at the back of a book on witchcraft. The person who uploaded it did not even add punctuation marks, so Yuan Yuanyuan had the hard work of translating this ancient text.

[Demon Pearl, the demonic power in the blood. 】

Yuan Yuanyuan was holding a notebook and quickly searching for key words in this ancient text. She just wanted to quickly find the key words on how to quickly turn the magic bead into powder.

However, after looking for a long time, she did not see anything about the magic bead turning into powder, but instead saw some strange things.

Yuan Yuanyuan's eyebrows gradually wrinkled. She originally just wanted to find a way, but she didn't expect to gradually become absorbed in reading this ancient book.

It is not just a book about demon beads, it also talks about some history from long ago.

It is said that a long time ago, when there was no distinction between big monsters and small monsters, the monster world was far more bloody than it is now, and the death rate of monsters was very high.

That was the truly bloody time. When Yuan Yuanyuan was still a little monster, those fights that made her so exhausted were nothing compared to that time.

——Because she wouldn't have survived at that time.

At that time, the chances of small monsters coming to the fore were slim, as the powerful monsters did whatever they wanted. The small monsters had no choice but to think of one way - to find a big monster they liked, seek his protection, and let him protect them.

However, powerful monsters are also very awesome. They are busy every day, so why would they come to help a little monster like you?

So at that time a little monster invented such a magic - he condensed the magic power in his blood into a bead, and then gave it to the powerful monster he liked.

...Then the monster took it in as his own little brother.

What is the significance of this behavior?

Yuan Yuanyuan had been making magic beads step by step before, but had never carefully considered the significance of this thing. However, after reading the words in this book, she finally realized why the role of magic beads is so important.

The demon bead is something condensed from demonic power, and this demonic power is the demonic power cultivated by the demon itself.

If this part of the demonic power is condensed into a demon bead, it means that the demonic power of the monster itself is reduced. Relatively speaking, the demonic power of the monster that obtains the demon bead will increase.

This actually means reducing the power of small monsters to increase the power of powerful monsters.

So... Yuan Yuanyuan's joke about "tribute" turned out to be a lucky gamble. This sorcery is actually very cruel in nature. It is equivalent to sacrificing part of one's own interests in exchange for peace.

However, there were too many little monsters at that time who were in danger of losing their daily lives, so everyone followed the little monster's example.

Although this seems very unfair to the little monsters, the fact is that this magic has brought revolutionary changes to the monster world.

In the beginning, there were still many little monsters who resisted this magic. However, gradually, everyone discovered that the probability of death of little monsters in the monster world was greatly reduced, and the probability of little monsters coming to the fore was also greater.

Later, the first batch of little monsters who used the monster beads to obtain the protection of powerful monsters gradually grew up and became a new generation of powerful monsters.

They still use this method, and they are more "merciful" than the first generation of big monsters, because they grew up from small monsters and can better understand the bitterness of small monsters.

As time passed, one day, a tacit rule was formed in the demon world - if the small demons used demon beads to "pay tribute" to the powerful demons, and if the powerful demons agreed, then they would unconditionally protect the safety of the small demons.

This is why the term "great monster" gradually emerged in the monster world. Great monster is not a simple term related to strength. The term was first proposed to separate some monsters from other monsters.

Those monsters called "big monsters" already have the power to protect other small monsters. Only after being called big monsters will small monsters come to them and ask for their protection.

Yuan Yuanyuan translated from morning to afternoon, and only woke up as the sun was about to set.

This post may not have many readers, not even more than three digits, because it is written in classical Chinese and has not been edited at all. However, after Yuan Yuanyuan finished reading it, she broke out in cold sweats all over her body.

When she went to work in the evening, she was always in a daze and didn't respond for a long time. Fortunately, she didn't have much to do, so she just muddled through.

When she went home to sleep at night, she quietly transformed, cut her hand, and took a small plate to catch the blood flowing from her hand.

After the blood flowed out in a pool, she slowly licked her hands, and then silently recited the magic spell to condense the magic bead in her heart.

In an instant, the blood in the plate began to coagulate, and gradually, the liquid inside became less and less, slowly solidifying into a huge magic bead.

This magic bead seemed to be bigger than Yuan Yuanyuan’s fist. Yuan Yuanyuan couldn’t understand how a small plate of blood could coagulate into such a large bead.

It looks crystal clear and is a pure red color. Just looking at it like a night pearl, emitting bright red light.

Yuan Yuanyuan picked up the bead. She was silent for a long time, then turned around and pulled out a drawer, which was filled with a bunch of small beads that looked like red beans.

Compared with the fist-sized demon bead, these small beads are like the difference between a baby and a giant.

This was the first time that Yuan Yuanyuan condensed a magic bead while in a transformed state... before that she had always condensed it when she was not in a transformed state.

Yuan Yuanyuan picked up the huge bead and then picked up another magic bead of Tang Shi’s father to compare with it. Even when placed together with the magic bead of Tang Shi’s father, this magic bead was more than twice as big.

…

"Is he still so quiet now?"

"yes."

"Has no one come to contact him recently?"

"No... Recently, the only people around him are that little monster who is not yet an adult, and a new recruit."

"Those two little monsters... they're fine, don't worry about them." One person said. "What we need to worry about is whether he will come into contact with other monsters."

"It seems not..." said another person next to him, "Besides, the patriarch of the Ma family no longer contacts him now."

"If there aren't many monsters that come into contact with him, then we don't have to worry. He can't cause any trouble by himself." Another person's voice rang out, "But if a monster comes into contact with him and pledges allegiance to him, remember to report back immediately."

"I think it's unlikely..." said the first person, "He basically stays in the larval area now and doesn't come out anymore. There won't be any powerful monsters in the larval area... There are only baby monsters in there who are still nursing."

"He is smart. He knows that he can live longer if he stays in the larval area. If he makes any unusual movements..."

"clear."

"By the way, how is the young lady doing these days? Is she still in contact with that human?"

"yes."

"Hurry up and get ready. She can't go on like this. Let her regain her heart and get rid of that man in the next few days."
