Chapter 944: Only When You're Full Can You Have the Strength to Get Beaten! (Bonus Chapter)
The beasts all gave the green mantis a good roasting, but the mantis still tried to sell them on it!
Then the Void-Drifting Loach cut in!
"Ah, Mantis did a good job. Humans aren't welcome here!"
"The gate's already closed. Those humans can't escape. We can shut the door and play slowly!"
"First thing tomorrow, notify the rabbit friends to search for any trace of humans with full force!"
"If you find anything, kill them directly. If you can't handle it, call me! I'll do the killing!"
The beasts thumped their chests and roared in agreement. No beast questioned the words of the Void-Drifting Loach!
It was the king of the Void Sea!
Ghost-Faced Beast: ੧(｡ಥൠಥ)ง
"Big brother? The one who disarmed me..."
The Void-Drifting Loach raised an eyebrow. "All the humans who came in are going to die. Dying sooner or later is the same either way, isn't it?"
"Right now, let's just enjoy this rabbit race!"
Pocket Rabbits: (՞｡༎ຶ口༎ຶ｡՞)
The rabbits were beaten for an entire night. It wasn't until dawn that the beasts each returned to their lairs!
The Void-Drifting Loach flickered and vanished without a trace!
The next instant, it had already appeared in an underground cavern, extremely spacious inside!
The whole place was built from gray-white stone, with cracks everywhere on the walls!
Tree roots had burrowed in through the cracks in the walls, covering them completely.
Scattered on the ground were hundreds of Space Spirit Pearls, snacks the Void-Drifting Loach had saved up!
In the center of the stone chamber stood a huge spherical fragment, covered in countless runes!
It was connected to the entire floating island, emitting a dense spatial fluctuation!
This was the core fragment of the Void Sea!
And behind the core fragment was a stone pedestal!
On it stood a massive ring-shaped object, made entirely of an unknown silver metal!
It was engraved with countless complex incantations, as well as dense grooves!
Back in its lair, the Void-Drifting Loach stretched hard and fell into a deep sleep!
Not long after it fell asleep, it woke up, faintly hearing a "clink clink" sound coming from above!
"Hmm~ What's that noise? So annoying!"
But it didn't bother with it. It rolled over and went back to sleep.
...
Just as dawn broke, Zi Yuan, who was sleepwalking, snapped her eyes open. They were bloodshot!
ꉂꉂ(ಠʚಠ‖)
"Gock~ gock-gock!"
At the same time, Jiang Nan jolted up from the forehead bed like a dying man springing back to life!
Because he jerked up too hard, his head smashed through the carriage roof, tilting his face skyward!
٩(๐˃᷄ɞ˂᷅)۶"Cock-a-doodle~ cock-a-doodle-doo!"
Two rooster cries echoed through the cave, forcing Wu Liang, Zhong Yingxue, and the others to wake up, literally scaring them awake!
Jiang Nan couldn't even control himself. He teleported from room to room, checking if any girls hadn't gotten up yet!
He found Da Lang Mie was still sleeping!
Jiang Nan panicked and crowed right next to her ear!
(⁼̴~⁼̴)Cock-a-doodleꉂꉂ(･᷅ʚ･᷄｡)
(٥˃᷄~˂᷅)Cock~(･᷄ʚ･᷅๑)
(ꐦ•̀益•́)ᓄ(›꒪ͦʚ꒪ͦ‹‖)Aooow~
Jiang Nan, with his vital point grabbed, couldn't crow anymore. But he had successfully woken Da Lang Mie, so it was satisfying!
With two chickens around, there was no way not to wake up!
The group didn't waste any time. After packing up camp, they tracked the Ghost-Faced Beast!
This time, they didn't dare randomly eat the little cookies. Instead, they relied on Da Lang Mie's sense of smell to track!
Though slower, they could still faintly follow the Ghost-Faced Beast's movement trail!
Since the side effects hadn't worn off yet, Zhong Yingxue was still paralyzed. Jiang Nan carried her on his back the whole way!
They tracked for an entire morning until they reached a small floating island, where they made a big discovery!
Xia Yao said excitedly, "The Ghost-Faced Beast's scent is very strong ahead. It might be here!"
"Hmm~ There are also scents of other spiritual beasts, very messy. Everyone be very careful!"
Jiang Nan's group got ready for battle and slowly crept forward!
They expected to see the Ghost-Faced Beast!
Instead, they saw over a hundred Pocket Rabbits scattered across the open grassland ahead!
All bruised and swollen. Some were coughing up blood, some had trees stuck on their heads, sobbing!
Jiang Nan and the others crouched in the grass. The moment they saw the Pocket Rabbits, Zhong Yingxue's expression melted!
"Ahhh~ How can there be such cute creatures in this world?"
Xiong Er nodded: "Rabbits are so cute~ They must taste great roasted, right?"
As soon as he said that, everyone turned their heads to look at Xiong Er!
Jiang Nan said angrily, "You want to eat them? Are you a devil?"
"Roasting rabbit—you need to remove its innards, skin it, add ginger, garlic, scallion, and cooking wine to remove the smell, marinate it with BBQ seasoning, put it on the fire until it sizzles, brush with chili oil, sprinkle with chili powder and sesame seeds, slurp~"
"So cruel. How much pain would the rabbit have to endure?"
Wu Liang swallowed his saliva: "Brother Nan! Don't talk anymore. You've got me craving it now!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were speechless.
On the grassland, the Pocket Rabbits gathered together, chirping and comforting each other!
"Babies, don't cry. We got beaten pretty badly yesterday, but today we'll get beaten even worse!"
"Wuwuwu~ I've really been beaten up since I was little. Rabbit life is hard; this world isn't worth it!"
"They spend all day eating, sleeping, and beating rabbits! They're not beasts!"
"Especially that ghost-faced one with four arms. He hit the hardest. Lucky he only has two left now!"
"Stop crying, go eat grass. That way you'll have strength to get beaten tonight, right?"
Jiang Nan and the others were dumbfounded. These... these rabbits were beaten up like this by the spiritual beasts?
What kind of deep grudge was this?
The Ghost-Faced Beast joined the beatdown too?
And was this really mutual encouragement? What kind of tragic life was this?
Zi Yuan looked horrified: "Sss~ Why can I understand what they're saying?"
Jiang Nan shrugged: "After eating the zodiac cookie, even during the side effects, you can understand beast language!"
Zi Yuan was stunned. There was such a function?
The Pocket Rabbits began eating grass. They opened their mouths wide, and space collapsed.
All giant trees within range were swallowed into their mouths and chewed up!
Jiang Nan shuddered. These rabbits looked harmless, but that spirit skill's power was no joke!
Space devouring?
Some rabbits, while eating, discovered large pieces of spirit material buried deep in the ground, glittering!
They happily hopped over, dug out the spirit materials, and stuffed them into the pouches on their chests!
"Hmm~ I get beaten every day. Only collecting these pretty stones can soothe my wounded heart!"
"Heehee, yours isn't that big. The one I picked up a few days ago is much bigger!"
The rabbits chatted while eating!
Jiang Nan watched this scene, his eyes blazing with brilliant light!
The pouches on these rabbits' chests—were they alternate dimensions?
Otherwise, how could such big spirit materials fit inside?
If they could be kept as spirit pets, wouldn't that mean they could be used as space backpacks?
Jiang Nan saw the immense value of the Pocket Rabbits, enough to shake the entire era!
Which spirit warrior wouldn't want a space backpack?
And they had a hobby of collecting spirit materials? These were treasure rabbits!
Jiang Nan was extremely excited: "These rabbits are treasures! Can't eat them!"
"I'm going to lure them away! I must lure them away!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao got excited too!
"But... how do we lure them? These rabbits aren't weak, and they can teleport. There's no way to catch them!"
Jiang Nan patted his chest confidently!
"Who am I? I'm the founding patriarch of spirit pet studies! Swindling, cheating—no, wait! I'm best at using love to move spiritual beasts!"
"Just watch my performance!"
Zi Yuan: (≖_≖)…
Hey! You just blurted out your real thoughts, didn't you?
Jiang Nan took a deep breath, put his hands together, and muttered something!
Then he pulled out another zodiac cookie. With a determined look, he bit into it!
Whatever came out was fine, as long as it wasn't too bad. It would let him test his idea!
If it was a rabbit cookie, even better!
The cookie went down, and Jiang Nan's eyes lit up. Another dog?
Scent tracking? That worked too!
"Complete Mimicry!"
Jiang Nan's form shifted. His clothes tore as he completely transformed from a human into a little puppy!
՞₍ಡﻌಡ₎՞
He fully completed the beast transformation!
Zi Yuan and the others watched in amazement!
Next, Jiang Nan pulled out a Bling Pudding and stuffed it into his mouth!
His form shifted again, from the puppy shape into a fluffy white Pocket Rabbit!
՞₍˃᷄ﻌ˂᷅₎՞⇉(՞｡ಡᴥಡ｡՞)
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao's eyes went wide!
No way? This works?
Jiang Nan was thrilled. His idea really worked!
Originally, Bling Pudding couldn't break the human race's form restrictions!
But by using the zodiac cookie to transform from human to beast, breaking the restriction, and then using the pudding to transform from one beast to another!
Ah, that's nice!
Having completed his disguise, Rabbit Jiang Nan teleported to the center of the grassland!
"Chirp~"
(I succeeded! Everyone look at me!)
As soon as he said that, many Pocket Rabbits turned their heads to look at Rabbit Jiang Nan!
Huh? This rabbit has never been seen before?
How come it's not swollen from being beaten?
