16. New tasks
The next day was August 1.
Xia Gui came to the Hundred Beast Garden as usual, took some raw meat, and delivered it to the roe in a cage. Tanuki's cage was empty, as Tanuki was taken away for special care.
"The group leader is here, the group leader is here!" I don't know which slave shouted, and the slaves in the park immediately gathered.
Xia Gui followed the crowd and stood at the end of the line, he didn't want to stand in a conspicuous position.
No. 9 was wearing a clean robe, and it was obvious that Xia Gui's completion of the three-star mission would also be good for him. Master Jiang gave him a new set of robes, which were made of silk cloth, and he looked radiant when he wore them.
Unlike usual, Nine was holding a weak little beast in his arms, the little beast was hairless, and its eyes could not be opened, and the capillaries could almost be seen in the thin eyelids, like a sleeping puppy. The little beast is very cute and weak, and if there are girls on the scene, they will definitely throw motherly pity on this weak little beast.
Nine cleared his throat and looked around, finally seeing Xia Gui at the end of the line.
His eyes flashed, and he quickly grabbed Xia Gui's cultivation information. The true qi on Xia Gui's body surged a little more, and the strong strength made Xia Gui look different from usual, as if he had precipitated something more.
The corners of No. 9's mouth tugged slightly, and Yin Yang said strangely: "No. 63, it seems that yesterday's Qi Condensation Pill was absorbed well, congratulations on entering the second order of the Dripping Water Realm." ”
Hearing No. 9's weird voice, Xia Gui didn't want to provoke him, but the corners of his mouth faintly hooked up a smile, and he hugged his fists, "Thank you for taking care of you." ”
"Hmph. Nine sneered and turned his head away disdainfully.
In fact, Xia Gui entered the second order, and No. 9 was not jealous, after all, he was a fourth order, and there was a two-order gap between him and Xia Gui. Just for this gap between the second and fourth orders, it took a whole year for Nine to break through.
No. 9 said: "I'm here today mainly to announce that our Hundred Beast Park has received a new mission of more than two stars. His gaze was slight, and then fell on the little beast in his arms, and said: "This little guy in my arms is called Tanuki, and it is a hybrid beast born of Tanuki and Liyin. New this month's mission is to find a way to feed the tanuki. ”
Hearing this, Xia Gui "chuckled" in his heart. Sure enough, there is a second half to this mission!
The previous quest is just the beginning, the main purpose of the villa, in fact, this new quest, to raise a hybrid beast - raccoon.
"What?, raising hybrids?" the slaves' gazes winced.
I don't know what the lodge is thinking about, but it's definitely not a simple matter.
Hybrid beasts, you can't find a way to raise them in books. Because each hybrid beast is a new species, there is no record in the books, and what they eat and drink, and their habits are unknown.
Some hybrids don't even have anything in common with their parents, and they don't like what their father likes or what their mother likes.
Because this is a hybrid, a new species, no one knows how to raise it. In this way, this simple two-star mission is a hot potato.
Sure enough, No. 9's gaze slowly focused on Xia Gui's head, and then smiled lightly: "No. 63." You single-handedly matched the parents of this raccoon dog, and you know the habits of the raccoon dog's parents best. This task is most suitable for you. ”
When the results were announced on Nine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad that this unlucky ghost was not themselves. At the same time, the expressions on their faces became a little playful at the same time, and they all looked at Xia Gui, as if they were looking forward to the wonderful changes in Xia Gui's face as if they were watching the excitement.
Xia Gui also expected this to be the result, and he was not surprised at all. He nodded, "I can accept it." But I need to know first, what are the habits of this raccoon dog, and what does it eat?"
Nine seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a vengeful smile, "How do I know this!"
Xia Gui stubbornly asked, "Hasn't anyone fed it before?"
Nine raised his head, and the hint of arrogance hanging from the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious. He took a step forward and looked at Xia Gui with a condescending expression, "No." As soon as it was born, it was delivered into my hands. To be honest, it stayed with me for a day, not eating or drinking, very weak, no one told me how to feed it, it's up to you. Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you, and you'll be very grateful to me when you know it......" He paused deliberately, and then said in an extremely slow tone: "This mission should have belonged to the North Base, and we are not qualified to take it, if it weren't for my repeated insistence, you wouldn't have received this mission at all." ”
A smile tugged at the corner of No. 9's mouth, "Lord Jiang and I patted our chests and promised that No. 63 would be able to raise the raccoon dog healthy and strong, without disease or disaster." If anything goes wrong, it's all on the slave who keeps it, and if the mission fails, the keeper will come to see him. ”
Raise your head to meet ......
The slaves looked at the raccoon in No. 9's arms, just like looking at a piece of stinky tofu that had been stinking for thousands of years, and they all showed evasive expressions.
This No. 63 is really unlucky, it was originally a simple two-star mission, but it was complicated by No. 9, it must be something that offended Lord No. 9, right?
Xia Gui looked at No. 9, and No. 9 also looked at Xia Gui. From No. 9's eyes, there was an expression of "Who told you not to give me the Qi Condensing Pill at the beginning, and Lao Tzu will kill you now".
This Nine is obviously embarrassing himself, for the sake of that Qi Condensing Pill, he will not let himself have a good time.
Xia Gui took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and said slowly: "My lord, you are making your own assertions, be careful of playing with fire and self-immolation." ”
No. 9 was very happy to see Xia Gui look so angry, and he laughed, "What are you talking about, you are the backbone, I want to focus on cultivating you." In the future, two-star and three-star missions like this will be an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and I will consider you more. With that, he patted Xia Gui's shoulder meaningfully, smiled and walked away.
Xia Gui raised his head and looked around with some annoyance, only to find that the other slaves were all looking at him sympathetically, but no one dared to approach. Obviously, they are also afraid of getting too involved with Xia Gui, so as not to be implicated.
......
"Damn Nine!"
In the no-man's corner, Xia Gui looked at the huddled Tanuki, with a cold look on his face.
For the three times and four times of the nine, Xia Gui has endured it to the extreme.
He doesn't have the ability to fight back right now.
In terms of position, No. 9 is the superior, and in terms of cultivation, No. 9 is the second order of the Chengmai Realm. Although relying on the previous skilled combat ability and martial arts, if you really want to fight hard, it is indeed difficult to say whether you will win or lose. However, in this hierarchical mountain villa, you can't win or lose by fists and feet.
Because, the force behind Xia Gui is the entire villa, not just a nine.
Thinking of this, Xia Gui gradually calmed down.
His gaze fell on Tanuki, and the little beast curled pitifully into a ball, looking at Xia Gui timidly.
Outwardly, the raccoon dog picked up its mother's petite body, but with its father's cute face, it was like a cute puppy. Now it's just two fists in size, like a tiny pet.
Obviously, it's not in a good mood either.
To be honest, I didn't see my mother for the first day of birth, and this little animal was very uneasy. At first, he thought that Nine was his mother, but Nine's bad look and violent temper made Tanuki feel very frightened. But now the young man in front of him seems to have a little kindness, which somewhat makes the little fox relax a little and stare at Xia Gui curiously.
Xia Gui sighed helplessly, looking at the more than thirty slices of meat on display in front of him, and secretly worried. He had brought all the meat in the Hundred Beasts Meat Recipe, one slice of each. But the little raccoon just sniffed one by one, not interested. Even the leopard meat, which was the favorite food of Tanuki and Liyin, was not interested.
Xia Gui was a little distressed, this first level - "eating", he couldn't get through.
The little raccoon dog was already a little malnourished, and now he doesn't eat or drink, and he is even more hungry because he only has a layer of skin. Faced with the increasingly weak little raccoon cause, Xia Gui fell into deep thought. If he can't find suitable food, he may starve to death.
Perhaps, this poor little guy needs an open pasture.
