Anyway, now in Li Ji's opinion, it is no fun to wait for the young beast to reach the adult level of the holy beast, he doesn't have so much time to accompany the young beast to squander, the best choice at present is that he will do everything to improve his strength in the next time, and then find an opportunity to sneak out with the stronger young beast, after all, it is unrealistic to kill it with strength, at least Li Ji himself thinks that it is like a daydream, just think about it, it is impossible to come true.

Whether it was the giant bird in this forest that almost killed him, or the several kinds of demonic beasts he encountered during this time, except for the lowest-level fire-attribute demonic beasts, he couldn't deal with any of them, and when he encountered it, he could only choose to hide or seek the protection of the young beasts, this situation could not be completely changed for a long time in the future, at least Li Ji thought that his strength could not have such a fast improvement speed, and reversed the exchange of strong and weak roles in a short period of time.

It's useless to think about it, and now Li Ji can only be down-to-earth, after all, treasures like Ganoderma lucidum are available but not sought, unless his luck bursts and he can meet it again, otherwise, step-by-step progress will become inevitable.

Li Ji knew that no matter how hard he tried, his strength would definitely not be stronger than that of the young beast, even if the young beast's Saint-level demon core didn't know how long it would take to refine it to completely absorb it, it would be difficult to reach the height of the young beast, so he simply didn't dwell on it, but shifted his attention to his current injury.

Although the battle of picking up the first-level demonic beasts this time was frequent, he encountered a second-level demonic beast, and was so mad by those first-level demonic beasts that he used the rogue tactical body to attack in a group, almost letting him hang up. However, fortunately, the second-level demonic beast was also a fire-attribute demonic beast, and because he had a certain immunity to fire-attribute magic, Li Ji minimized the threat of the second-level demonic beast, so that he finally killed it. Of course, this is also due to the lazy eating and laziness of the second-level demonic beast on weekdays, raising the body to be abnormally obese, so that in the end, even running for his life has become a luxury, which made Li Ji cheap. Otherwise, the result is really unpredictable, at least without summoning the young beast, he has little hope of winning.

Looking at the eyes of the young beast staring at him, Li Ji understood. That kind of look seemed to him to be probably a sign of ridicule, it must be that the young beast felt that he was so embarrassed to deal with a group of first-level demonic beasts, it was unimaginable, and it was even more unimaginable that although he looked bloody, stains were flowing like a beggar, but after all, his appearance was not much injured, with the small head of the young beast, he definitely couldn't imagine why Li Ji looked like he was seriously injured and was about to cluck, and he couldn't imagine that Li Ji's injuries were in the body, it was the internal organs that were displaced and ruptured by the first-level demonic beasts, and the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth was mixed with those on his body, making the cute young beasts stupid and indistinguishable, I thought that those blood stains were all first-class demonic beasts, but I didn't think that under Li Ji's intact body surface, he was already scarred and overwhelmed.

Li Ji had the heart to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that he lacked confidence, and he couldn't talk about it, it was still his own strength was too poor, and he had to get internal injuries even if he cleaned up a group of first-level demonic beasts, he couldn't compare to the young beasts, he didn't have such a strong physique, those first-level demonic beasts hitting the young beasts might be tickling, it didn't hurt or itch, and it didn't have much power, but when it hit him, it was completely different, and the power became huge, so big that Li Ji still felt unbearable pain in his abdomen, and the pain was amplified with the nerves tormenting him, if he hadn't been used to the level of pain when the blood and qi were running in the meridians, he would have fainted in pain now, which has to be said to be a kind of comfort in disguise, although it is not resistant to beating, but it can endure pain. Maybe Li Ji really has the inherent potential to become a sandbag.

Ignoring the young beast's contemptuous eyes, Li Jian simply let go and told the young beast about his plan, in short, let the young beast camel him back. Fortunately, the young beast was quite obedient, and he didn't care about his acting skills that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, as if he was already seriously injured and incapacitated, and needed it to be humped back.

The young beast changed back to its original appearance according to his words, and suddenly grew bigger in front of Li Ji without his preparation, which startled Li Ji, and his body trembled reflexively. It's really no wonder that Li Ji reacted so much, according to him, who had seen the transformation of the young beast a few times, even if he was not prepared, he would not be so out of shape, but after the young beast transformed this time, the size became bigger than before, at least half taller, and the scale armor all over the body also changed from flesh color to light red, shining in the sunlight, and it was clear at a glance that it had amazing defensive power, and the hair on the back of the neck had also been slightly yellowish and turned into light red. But other than that, what really scared Li Ji was because the young beast was originally very close to him, and the two front paws that quickly squeezed him out when it grew bigger. The two front paws were full of sharp energy, and the color was slightly yellow but sharp, especially under the cover of the scale armor that stretched here, it suddenly showed an incomparable domineering.

The change in the young beast was still too big for Li Ji, so big that he couldn't accept it for a while. The young beast said that he was about to be promoted to the fourth level of the demonic beast, but Li Ji thought that it was just an improvement in strength, not about the size, it was all to blame for himself to keep the young beast to maintain the cute puppy appearance, and he had been staying with the young beast all the time, those subtle changes were unintentionally ignored in the passage of time, and now that he thought about it, Li Ji found out that the young beast had inadvertently grown so big, if it was allowed to keep that young appearance until it became an adult and became a saint-level demonic beast, would it scare him out of heart disease when the young beast transformed. Thinking about the skeleton of his mother in the cave, Li Ji felt that if he was not prepared, he might really be scared to death.

Li Ji's abnormal movement could not hide the young beast's eyes, and it looked down at its body in confusion, wondering why Li Ji reacted so strongly. The huge head tilted slightly, wondering if Li Ji's brain was beaten by that group of first-level demonic beasts.

Fortunately, Li Ji, who reacted, didn't give the young beast time to think nonsense, he slowly endured the pain like splitting lungs and turned over, and supported his body with trembling hands, his blood and qi were exhausted, and after completing this action, his forehead was sweating, not only painful, but also tired.

After taking a breath, Li Ji finally stood up tremblingly with his own efforts. Of course, the reason why he was able to stand firm was because he was propped up on the young beast, otherwise he would not have the balance to maintain a standing position.

Li Ji's painful appearance saw that the young beast that had recovered its body frowned, and also frightened it into not daring to move, for fear that Li Ji would fall down if he was unstable, and it would be a little unbearable to bear the consequences, in case Li Ji took advantage of this to cut its food, there was nowhere to find a reason. Therefore, the wrinkles on the young beast's brows kept changing with Li Ji's movements, and it looked even more painful than Li Ji. Fortunately, there is no concept of touching porcelain in the memory of the young beast, otherwise it may have to stay away from Li Ji, you must know that in Li Ji's original world, touching porcelain is not familiar with it, and it is only right to be able to get money.

After Li Ji stood up, he let the young beast lie down, otherwise he would not be able to climb the young beast's back. The current young beast is much taller than it was at the beginning, and with Li Ji's crippled body, it would be humiliating and delusional to climb hard.

Looking at Li Ji's appearance of falling down in the wind, the young beast slowly squatted down, lay flat on the grass, and exposed its back to Li Ji.

After the young beast squatted down, Li Ji suddenly found that the young beast's forehead had grown two protrusions above the eyes at some point, as if there were hard bones protruding from the top. Because this position was not covered by hair and scale armor, Li Ji could see it at a glance, and he was sure that the original young beast did not have these two protrusions on its forehead. This change startled Li Ji, who saw it for the first time, and wondered if this should be a normal change in the growth of the young beast, or if the young beast had some kind of disease, or was injured (his head hit the wall and he picked up two bags. When he was a child, Li Ji's own head was not less offended, and he thought about others, Li Ji felt that maybe the cute young beast might be idle and play against the wall. However, thinking about the symmetrical two positions, I still feel that this guess is not reliable. ）？

Li Ji carefully touched the bulge close to him with his hand uneasily, and there was nothing special about the touch, just like the normal skin of the young beast, the softness and hardness were moderate, so he gently pressed it with his fingers.

Under the pressure, Li Ji felt that under the bulge was a hard thing, which was probably a bone, but why two hard bones protruded from this position, Li Ji didn't know the reason.

However, in the past, Li Ji always stroked the young beast's head lightly, and there would be no such action, but this time Li Jian pressed when he was exploring, which made the young beast look back at him puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing. I'm just curious about what those two bulges on your head are, and do they have bulges underneath them?" Li Ji explained what he had just done, and asked his own questions.

"Sort of!" replied the young beast flatly.

"So that's normal?"

"Of course it's normal! I'm going to grow a pair of horns in the future. The young beast said angrily, as if the horns were a great thing for it.

"Then when will you grow horns?" asked Li Ji curiously, gently stroking the bulge again.

"When I'm an adult, I'll be able to grow it. ”

"Adulthood, isn't that when you reach the Holy Rank? So you have to leave these two bulges for more than a hundred years before they can grow horns?" Li Ji said a little speechlessly, he felt as if everything was related to the adulthood of the young beast now, and what he lacked most was time, which made him depressed for a while.

Now that he knew that there was nothing wrong with the young beast, Li Ji no longer bothered about it, and climbed onto the back of the young beast with pain.

Under Li Ji's weak order, the young beast carried him slowly towards the cave.
