บท 29: Shallow Organization?
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Li Mengnan's expression was rather strange. Looking at Du Yu, who was laughing weirdly in the forest, she felt that something was wrong.
"What's with that look?" Du Yu asked, lowering his hands.
Li Mengnan said, "Your laughter is so demonic."
Duyu shrugged, but before he could respond, the wind wizard flew down.
"You found it so quickly?" Li Mengnan looked at his demon pet with surprise and disbelief.
The wind witch doll happily circled Li.
As long as it flew up to the treetops and looked into the distance, wouldn't it be obvious which tree was taller?
Li Mengnan grabbed the dancing wind witch doll with one hand and rubbed her thumb affectionately against its knitted little face. "Tell Master, where is the big tree?"
The wind witch doll struggled out of Li Mengnan's grip with difficulty and seemed to be dizzy from it. After orienting itself for a while, it led the two of them towards the northwest.
After walking for about 800 meters in the forest, the two pets saw a huge tree.
Unsurprisingly, there was already a demon beast guarding under the tree.
"Shh!" Li Mengnan shushed them. She grabbed the corner of Du Yu's shirt and hurriedly hid behind the tree.
Du Yu was speechless.
Was this chick addicted to hiding in bushes?
"I think it's an Earth Porcupine?" Li Mengnan stuck hier face out and observed secretly.
Du Yu also looked around curiously and saw an earth-type demon pet.
After observing carefully for a moment, Du Yu whispered, "The guardian demon pets that the teachers placed in the forest are probably the official new demon pets."
"Uh-huh."
There were two choices for earth-type novice demon pets: Little Earth Rhinoceros and Earth Porcupine.
The guardian beast sleeping under the tree in the distance was an earth porcupine. However, this fellow was more like a bamboo rat in a dress?
However, the dress was made of spikes. It began to spread from the back half of the porcupine's body. The ends of the spikes were also covered with terrifying barbs.
Du Yu, who had excellent eyesight, naturally saw the spikes. If these spikes pierced into his flesh, he would probably have to dig out a lot of flesh if he wanted to pull them out…
The thought made her skin crawl.
Li Mengnan whispered, "This one is smaller and doesn't seem to have reached the Earth Realm. How should I put it?"
Du Yu suddenly reached out and stopped Li Mengnan's inquiry.
He activated his vision and carefully stared at the earth rich pig. The little guy's body was rising and falling slightly, and his breathing was very rhythmic.
After watching for a while, Du Yu whispered, "It really seems to be sleeping!"
"Oh?" Li Mengnan was instantly interested. "Then let's sneak over. Hehehe~"
Du Yu smiled at Li Mengnan, and the smile on the girl's face said her scheme was about to succeed… Oh no, the fierce man had been led astray by him!
"Shal."
"Wu?" In her confusion, Shal had already climbed onto Du Yu's shoulder.
Half of Du Yu's body flashed out from behind the tree, and he pointed at the napping porcupine in the distance. "You secretly go and bring the demon crystal back. You must be gentle. It's best if you don't fight with the porcupine. I'll draw the bow and arrow here to help you."
"Woo~"
"By the way, don't absorb the demon crystals! That's our graduation exam paper."
"Sob~" He didn't know if Shal understood, but she agreed readily.
She jumped lightly and sat down on her big tail. She bounced on the ground like a bouncy ball before landing steadily.
Du Yu took off the Demon Weapon Black Wood on his back and stared at Shal as she walked forward.
It had to be said that the Fire Fox Clan was really agile. In addition, they were light and stealthy. They were quite suitable for these sneaky businesses…
Du Yu held his breath and watched as Shal gradually approached her target and slowly stood in front of the Earth Porcupine.
The guardian beast was sleeping on the ground. Under its face was a sealed demon crystal.
Shal carefully stretched out her little claws and tried to pluck the sealed Demon Crystal out.
However, as soon as the Demon Crystal moved a little, the Earth Porcupine rubbed its head slightly, scaring Shal so much that she didn't dare to move!
This…
Realizing that the Earth Porcupine continued to snore, Shal turned her head and looked at her master from afar.
However, she saw Du Yu clench his fists and cheer him on.
"Wuu?" Shal let out a small whimper that was undetectable. She turned her head to look at the sleeping porcupine and her mind raced.
Suddenly, Shal wagged her big tail, and the tip of her tail carefully probed the tip of the Earth Porcupine's nose.
Scratch ~
"Loo." The Earth Porcupine sniffed and rubbed his face with his little paws.
Shal was delighted and rubbed her fiery red tail tip gently again.
The Earth Porcupine actually shook its head from side to side and touched its nose with its small claws.
Shal seized the opportunity and let out a happy howl. She grabbed the sealed Demon Crystal on the side of the Earth Porcupine's face.
"Huh?" Tycoon Pig suddenly woke up!
Shal's howl nearly failed the mission.
She was still too young. She couldn't suppress the joy in her heart and woke up the Earth Porcupine.
In an instant, his black eyes and golden-brown fox eyes met…
The Earth Porcupine blinked, as if trying to make sense of the situation.
With the sealed Demon Crystal in her mouth, Shal tilted her furry head and attacked.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Shal dropped to all fours and carefully retreated.
"Loo!" The silly porcupine finally understood the situation. It suddenly let out a loud cry and its body suddenly curled into a thorny ball!
"Wuu~" Shal was shocked. With the demon crystal in her mouth, she turned around and ran.
However, the porcupine did not chase after them. It did not even have the slightest desire to attack.
It was more like the posture of a person who was too ashamed to face their parents. It curled itself into a thorn ball, mainly to hide its face.
It was completely ostrich behavior.
Li Mengnan witnessed the scene that happened in just ten seconds and felt even happier.
She was simply perfect!
Intelligent, beautiful, agile…
Suddenly, for a moment, Li Mengnan had already thought of the name of his organization.
"Sob~" Shal's golden-brown fox eyes revealed a hint of smugness.
Li Mengnan hurriedly squatted down and hugged the beautiful little fox that pounced on her.
Shal's rugby-shaped tail swept slightly, and the tip of the tail nimbly parted Li Mengnan's collar.
As her small body twisted, Shal used her big tail to open a path and slid into Li Mengnan's collar.
Woah! What a smooth little combo!
Du Yu was stunned!
Li Mengnan blushed slightly, but he didn't care. It seemed that he had already admitted her identity as a "fish" in Shal's grasp.
She turned to Du Yu. "I've decided. The name of our organization will be Shal!"
Duyu said, "Salt?"
Li Mengnan nodded heavily. "Yes, Shal like Shallow! From now on, our mascot is Shal!"
Du Yu had a strange expression on his face. It was clearly an organization established by Big Brother, so why was it named after Second Brother's pet?
Besides, we're still live-streaming. You…
'A loud conspiracy?'
Ignoring the clinging humans and foxes, Du Yu raised his eyes again and peered into the distance.
Earth Porcupine was still curled up into a ball and did not move. Clearly, it had accepted its fate. Seeing this scene, Du Yu's heart skipped a beat. "There's a problem."
Li Mengnan said, "What's wrong with this name? Shal is the symbol of elegance, beauty, intelligence, and wisdom! It's decided!"
"No." Du Yu pointed at the porcupine in the distance. "As a guardian beast, it didn't attack after its demon crystal was stolen."
Li looked around curiously. "Maybe he blamed himself because he was ashamed?"
Du Yu shook his head. "Under normal circumstances, he should be angry from embarrassment, right? The Earth Porcupine is definitely stronger than Shal. The two of them even had a short confrontation. Why didn't the porcupine snatch the demon crystal back?"
Li Mengnan frowned slightly. 'That seems to be the case.'
After all, the Earth Porcupine's mission was to protect the demon crystals. In that case, why didn't it fight back when facing a weak enemy?
Du Yu looked slightly excited and said, "Do you remember the Wolf Lake Hound guarding the demon crystal just now?"
Li Mengnan was not stupid and immediately followed his train of thought. "Wei Feng stole the wolf lake dog's demon crystal, but the wolf lake dog only roared on the spot and did not chase after him?"
Du Yu said, "The Wolf Lake Hound is a proper Earth-rank demon pet. It's one level stronger than this rich pig. Wouldn't it be easy for it to chase us rookies?"
Li Mengnan's eyes lit up. "In other words, as long as we have the demon crystals, the demon pets of the academy teachers won't attack us again?"
Du Yu nodded vigorously. "That must be it!"
Li Mengnan was overjoyed. "Then isn't this assessment too simple? Who cares if the guardian beast is strong? We don't need to fight them at all."
It's a diversion. As long as we have the demon crystal in our hands, everything will be over. There's no need to consider retreating."
Du Yu's eyes lit up as if he could see the custom-made demon weapons waving at him. "Try it?"
"Then let's try."
On the other side, the two of them had come to an incredible conclusion after obtaining two demon crystals.
On the campus, Coach Gong Cheng, who was paying attention to Du Yu, looked at the image on the tablet and listened to Du Yu's analysis. He could not help but nod to himself.
"As expected of the class monitor under Coach Gong. He's been nurtured well. His critical thinking is very sharp!" Zhang Qing praised from the side.
Gong Cheng suppressed his smugness and snorted with a cold face. "So-so."
