Chapter 199: Two Little Primary School Students
At this moment, deep underground, a certain groundhog, having dodged and hidden, exhausted its energy, and finally evaded this large-scale energy scan, extended its little paws in a human-like gesture to wipe the nonexistent sweat from its brow, letting out a long sigh, and collapsed onto the scattered mud.
The place it was currently in was a small hole about half a meter high and one meter long deep underground. The traces of its digging around it had long been restored to their original state using its earth spirit power. Digging holes while filling them, even if it burrowed underground for ten or eight years, there would be no collapse.
It could have been content and happy burying itself underground, being its underground overlord, raiding snake dens today, catching rabbits tomorrow, running rampant and carefree.
It was all that damn fire turkey’s fault for opening a crack to let out air, attracting those insatiable two-legged beasts, how annoying! It was bad enough that they were constantly chattering around them, but they were also outputting all kinds of energy to probe their specific whereabouts, wanting to catch them and enslave them. How infuriating for a rat!
If that damn fire turkey hadn’t refined a kind of black iron that could isolate probes, it would have abandoned that dead chicken and gone off on its own long ago. Anyway, it wasn’t like that chicken, restricted by its territory.
Hehe, but exposing their tracks also had its advantages. Those two-legged beasts who threw themselves into the net every day were delicious, large, and their energy was pure. They were excellent tonics. Anyway, those guys couldn’t pinpoint their exact location, hee hee! You come to catch me, and I eat you instead. How much does that comply with the natural rationalization operation of heaven and earth.
“Dead mouse, quickly drop some food down to eat! Don’t think about hogging it all to yourself, I’m telling you.” The fire spirit sensed the broad energy that had just penetrated the ground. This time, many two-legged beasts must have come, and their energy was very pure and tempting.
Until the aura disappeared, not a single creature fell into its domain, not even a remnant limb. This earth spirit was getting more and more outrageous. The fire spirit couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
“Aren’t you able to grow by soaking in magma? You dead burnt chicken.” The groundhog retorted as usual.
Saying that this chicken was restricted by its territory was not about restricting its chicken body’s freedom, but rather that this place was very conducive to its growth. The rolling river of magma underground was its best nourishment, and it would not leave easily.
“I’m just craving something to eat, can’t I? Who the hell is like you, always hoping for that little bit of flesh and blood Jīngpò to improve your ability.” The fire spirit roared in exasperation, “Also, I’m a divine bird! A divine bird! Belonging to the Vermilion Bird clan. You dead, earthy mouse, do you even know what a Vermilion Bird looks like? If you don’t, please don’t talk nonsense. If you keep babbling, I’ll roast you into a dried rat.”
“Vermilion Bird my ass, divine bird my ass, I don’t know what a Vermilion Bird looks like, but I don’t know what you look like? Can you stop talking nonsense? I at least scurried out to breathe fresh air for a few days. You’re a frog in a well who hasn’t moved your nest for decades, how many species have you seen that you know so much?!”
With the ability bestowed upon them as Jīngpò’s companion beasts, it wasn’t an exaggeration to deify themselves, but to say that they really belonged to some divine beast race? Sorry, they were spiritual bodies. The so-called flesh and blood form was just a mimicry. They were independently born individuals. Where did they get ancestors that could be traced back?
They didn’t have a specific appearance or species at all. When their consciousness was initially hazy, they would transform into the form they imagined in their hearts based on vague perceptions. And once the initial form was shaped, the size and shape could be changed through body training, but the species appearance would not change.
The reason why the earth spirit companion beast turned into a groundhog was because he, born from earth, had seen the appearance of a groundhog during the hazy formation, and naturally transformed into that.
Who knew what strange species the fire spirit companion beast, born from fire, had seen in the magma, turning itself into a freakish chicken?!!
And Vermilion Bird? It would be heaven-defying if there could be a Vermilion Bird in this magma. It must have eaten someone’s brain and received some strange myths and stories, and then regarded itself as that legendary divine bird.
The magma rolled a few times, and drops of scarlet splashed onto the earthen surface. The earth spirit was about to spew fire to burn the rat to death, but unexpectedly felt wisps of aura more pure and tempting than before spreading down. It immediately stopped the infighting, “Dead mouse, quickly move the black iron to block it! Do you want our lair to be destroyed?”
The groundhog then exclaimed, “Ah—-!”
“I was so busy dealing with you chicken, that I got robbed……!!” The groundhog anxiously began to activate its spiritual power to work, constantly muttering, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s too late, it’s too late!”
After busying for a while, it slumped down in dejection.
It was all for nothing. As expected, it was too late. While it was moving the black iron to block the energy from seeping in, a survivor who had slipped through the net, who knew where it had come from, had already surrounded it with wisps of energy for a moment before withdrawing.
They could not directly wrap the energy-isolating black iron tightly around themselves. If they did, the energy from the outside would not be able to penetrate, and they themselves would be bound in that small space, unable to absorb external things to grow.
So it could only be a model worker, blocking wherever it needed to be blocked. Now it was all over, an upset!
“Hey, dead bird, we’re exposed. Why don’t you guard the place, and I’ll retreat first?” The groundhog kindly suggested.
“What are you afraid of? Don’t you need to absorb energy to improve? Come closer to me, let’s wait for the rabbit, and when they come down, we’ll join forces and have a big meal.” The fire spirit flapped its wings in the magma nonchalantly, occasionally exhaling a few wisps of sparks from its mouth when speaking.
“Fuck your grandpa, don’t tell me you can’t recognize the aura of the wood spirit Jīngpò. That sh*t restrains me!! I’m not playing along with you.”
The groundhog turned to earth-burrow, but the fire spirit quickly called out to it, “Hey, hey, hey! Don’t go, don’t go.” The fire spirit said, disgusted with the groundhog’s lack of ambition, “Can you be a little more promising? The two of us against one of it, are we afraid of it? The wood spirit Jīngpò, which nourishes all things, is a great tonic! A great, great——tonic!!!”
The fire spirit induced, “Not to mention confining it by our side to nourish us, even absorbing a little bit of the scraps during the fight would be top-grade for us. Are you sure you’re not tempted?”
There were many things that Jīngpò could absorb and transform into its own energy, but they were incompatible with each other. Just like the earth spirit Jīngpò and the fire spirit Jīngpò had been neighbors for many years, not because they were kind, but because they were useless to each other and couldn’t help each other. Only this wood spirit Jīngpò, with its wood governing life and nourishing all things, was not its characteristic as Jīngpò, but its exclusive property of wood spirit Jīngpò.
For all species, it was a good thing!
