Chapter 116: You're Abandoned, Aren't You?
Although he was a little puzzled, what did Tianyou want a golden toad for, isn't this the same as taking a gold ingot? But since Tianyou wanted this, Bai Qi also converted the price and gave the toad to him.
Bai Qi couldn't be sure if the toad was pure gold or if there was something else in it, but Tianyou said that it would be calculated according to pure gold, so three hundred catties of toad were worth three thousand two hundred taels of gold. Originally, in terms of the exquisiteness of this toad, the manual fee should not be cheap, but Bai Qi was not sure if this thing was pure gold, and resolutely refused to add another manual fee, so in the end it was only three thousand two hundred taels.
There is no place to stuff such a big thing, so Tianyou can only hold it and go. It's also a loss to him, and it is really not necessary to carry the more than 300 pounds of things to an ordinary person.
When he was about to go out, Bai Qi informed the account room, he took this golden toad, let them write off the account, and went out with Tianyou after speaking. After the three account offices agreed, they began to check the account books, but the account books at the bottom of the box were turned out, and they didn't find this record. The three old men had no choice but to check again, and they were busy until the next day, and finally determined one thing - there was no such thing in the ledger at all.
As soon as the three of them put it together, they can't report this matter! Anyway, everything was taken, and it was said that the account had been eliminated, and the matter was over. If you really report it and let the housekeeper and the master know that they missed something, then they will be fired. The work in Baifu was idle and the treatment was good, and the old man didn't want to lose his job in vain, so he reached an agreement and decided to hide it.
Because of the conspiracy of the three bookkeepers, Bai Qi finally didn't find out that the toad that Tianyou took away was not his family's treasure house at all.
On the other side, Tianyou grabbed Bai Qi after he came out with the toad in his arms, and then said: "Bai Shibo, my injury suddenly healed so quickly, it was easy to be seen by Bingyu, so I deliberately avoided her in the morning and ran to you for help first." But when I go back in a while, I'll definitely have to bump into it, it's hard to explain!"
Bai Qi thought about it for a while, so he said, "Well, that's it." You hide here for a while, I happen to have something to go out today, and I will take Bingyu away with me for a while, and ask the housekeeper to help me make a lie at night, just say that you didn't sleep all night due to last night's pain, and went to bed early today, and block her back. Even if it is discovered tomorrow morning, the ice and rain will feel a little strange at most, and you will pass the two prevarications. Today, you will cultivate in the house and don't go out, lest others get suspicious. ”
"Well, I see. ”
With Bai Qi helping to cover up, of course Tianyou returned to his room smoothly, Bai Bingyu was finally taken out by Bai Qi, and he couldn't see Tianyou today anyway.
As soon as he returned to the room and closed the door, Tianyou directly threw the golden toad on the table, Moon Shadow and Mocking Wind stood on both sides, pointing to the golden toad on the table who was still pretending to be a handicraft, and scolded sharply: "Demon, still pretend to be with me, believe it or not, the master threw you into the furnace and melted?"
"Don't don't, uncle!" Tianyou is planning to get off the horse first, but I didn't expect this thing to be so intimidating, Tianyou just threatened it and immediately knelt. Of course, what is even more amazing is that this thing can actually speak, and it is extremely fluent, and it is impossible to imagine that it is actually a golden toad who speaks by listening to the voice.
"If you know you're afraid, be honest with me and ask you what to say. God warned sharply.
Moon Shadow sat on Tianyou's shoulder, and also waved her little fist like a fox and a fake tiger and shouted at the toad, "Dishonest...... Beat you up. ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Tianyou always felt that there was something wrong with the toad's eyes looking at the Moon Shadow, and he seemed to be very scared, but when he thought of the Moon Shadow's body, he was relieved. Maybe there is some special way to identify the monsters, but it's not surprising that this toad recognizes the body of the Moon Shadow and is afraid. It's a phoenix after all, even if it hasn't grown up yet.
"First of all, how did you get into the treasure house of the White Mansion?"
"Back to Uncle's words, the little one has the art of changing, and he made himself very small before and sneaked in. ”
"Will you get bigger and smaller?"
Although there are two demon pets, and I have seen many demon beasts before, most of these monsters are only super powerful, and occasionally some can breathe fire and spit water, but I have never seen special abilities such as body size changes. I feel that this monster in the Shenzhou Continent has focused all its skill points on destructive power, and there are a lot of magical things, but they are all fierce.
But now it seems that the previous perception needs to be redefined.
It's not that the monsters in the Shenzhou Continent can only fight, but Tianyou hasn't encountered them.
The toad seemed to be anxious to prove that he was not lying, and immediately began to cast the spell, and there was no preparation to be seen, and suddenly it began to shrink, like a leaky balloon, and in about four or five seconds it shrank from the original size of a basketball to the size of a ping-pong ball.
"Look, uncle, I'm really going to get smaller. ”
"Don't be uncle, it sounds twisted. Since I brought you back, you're mine. From now on, you can call me master. ”
"The hosts. The golden toad immediately changed his tune, and the efficiency should not be too high.
"Damn, what kind of toad are you?
"Back to the master, I'm not a toad, I'm a treasure golden toad. ”
"Isn't that still a toad?"
"Huh...... The master can call it whatever he wants!"
Tianyou looked at Jin Toad, who was only the size of a ping-pong ball, and suddenly thought of a question. Such a small thing weighs more than 300 pounds, can this table top be able to carry it? Don't step on a hole and make trouble.
"You'd better get bigger first, turn around and break the table. ”
"Won't be the host. Jubao Jin Toad replied, "My weight will change with my body shape, and now I am very light." ”
"Is this okay?" Tianyou didn't believe it, and immediately reached out and grabbed the small treasure golden toad and tried to take it, but he didn't expect to pick it up at once, and it felt like he only weighed seven or eight catties. "It's not scientific! What about the good law of conservation of mass? What about the good gravitational force?"
"Master, what are you talking about, what kind of green thing?"
Of course, Tianyou won't explain to it, put it back on the table, and then continued to ask, "You can be smaller, can you be bigger?"
"Okay master. As soon as Jubao Jin Toad finished answering, his body began to grow suddenly, and Tianyou wanted to call a pause but it was too late. I only heard a click, and the mahogany table instantly turned into a piece of broken wood, and the treasure golden toad was like a meteorite, and it smashed to the ground with a bang, and Tianyou felt that the ground trembled obviously.
At this time, looking at the treasure golden toad, his body has been magnified I don't know how many times, squatting on the ground is half a head taller than Tianyou, and it is very wide, it feels like a minicar. Thinking of what this guy said before, its weight will change with the change of body size, and then look at the fragments of the wooden table on the ground, Tianyou is glad that Bai Qi's family does not live in a building.
As soon as he thought of his size, Tianyou suddenly thought of a terrible question.
What if this guy suddenly breaks out?
There were several reasons why Tianyou dared to bring this guy back. One is that this guy has been pretending to be a craft, which shows that it is afraid of something, so Tianyou thinks it should not be very dangerous. Second, this treasure golden toad is only the size of a basketball and does not look very destructive. Third, Tianyou has the ability to see spiritual vision, you can see the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and you can also see demonic energy. The strength of the demonic energy on this treasure golden toad is very low, and it doesn't seem to be a very powerful monster, at least not as strong as the moon shadow in his heart.
It is precisely because of these three insurances that Tianyou has always been fearless before and is not afraid of this guy at all. But now...... The situation seems to have changed.
The weight of this thing varies with its size. The table that has just died heroically can prove it. Although the demonic energy on its body has not increased in size, with this guy's weight, there is no need to do anything, just run it over. Anyway, Tianyou doesn't think there is any hope of surviving if he is trampled by it.
Although he was a little worried in his heart, because this guy still looked very honest, Tianyou could only pretend to be calm first, otherwise wouldn't it be worse if he reminded it?
"Well, I see, you're taking up too much space like this, so let's change back to the original size first. ”
"Nice hosts. The golden toad agreed, and immediately began to get smaller, and soon became the size of a basketball.
Seeing it shrink again, God bless his heart. If it doesn't work, just kill it before it gets bigger, anyway, it will take time for this guy to get bigger, enough for him to do it.
After inquiring about this guy again, Tianyou learned that there was a limit to the size change of the Jubao Golden Toad. If it gets smaller, the smallest is the size of the ping-pong ball just now, but getting bigger can be infinite, and the only limit is the demon power. The state of the size of the car just now is the balance point of its demon power, and if it maintains that size, its demon power consumption speed and recovery speed will be exactly the same, and the larger it becomes, the faster the demon power will be consumed, and once it is exhausted, it will change back to the size of a basketball, because this is the normal size of the body. As for shrinking, this doesn't cost demonic power.
"What else do you have other abilities than to become bigger and smaller?"
"Can you eat it?"
"......" Duang, Tianyou kicked over, but there was a sound of kicking on the steel plate, and Tianyou instantly felt pain in his foot, but fortunately he didn't use too much force.
"Ah, it hurts, don't hit me! Master, I'm so honest, why are you hitting me?"
Just when Tianyou was surprised that he would be injured, the treasure golden toad actually began to howl, and Tianyou observed for a long time and found that this guy didn't seem to be pretending. It's really afraid of being beaten, and it's really afraid of pain. But the feeling on Tianyou's side is not fake. What the hell is going on with this guy? His body is as hard as steel, and he is still afraid of pain.
Fortunately, this guy can speak well, and after some inquiry, he has figured out some of the situation.
First of all, this guy's defense is real. Its body is basically as strong as steel, and ordinary swords don't even leave a mark when slashed. Secondly, this guy is afraid of pain, although he won't hurt when beaten, it will hurt, and he is super afraid of pain, and he can't stand the slightest pain.
In addition, Tianyou also found a problem in the conversation, that is, this guy seems to be very timid, always submissive, like a rabbit targeted by wolves, so that he is obviously not weak at all, but he is too frightened by Tianyou to move.
"Isn't it quite powerful that you are invulnerable and can grow bigger? Why are you so timid?"
"Isn't it a big deal and how bold you are, master?"
Tianyou didn't dwell on this matter, but continued to ask, "Why did you run to the vault of the White Mansion?
"Such a host. Because my previous master treated me badly, I endured the pain and knocked a hole in the wooden box where I was locked while he was in retreat, and ran out. But I was so hungry that I couldn't be fed by the owner, and then I smelled it and found it. Who knows you've just eaten a little bit and you've found out. ”
"Wait, you're a little more informative. You had a master before?"
"yes. Jubao Jin Toad admitted: "That's why I said I ran out." ”
"Can you actually run out? Is your master as uncultivated as me?" Regular immortal sect cultivators need to use special spells to sign a soul contract with the other party to subdue the demon pet, and once the contract is established, the demon pet must obey the master's orders. Although the mind of the monster itself can resist the master's orders to a certain extent, there is no precedent for escaping, and at most it is just not listening to the command during the battle. As for saying that God blesses these demon pets...... That's not a demon pet at all.
Moon Shadow and Tianyou are now parasitic, and strictly speaking, Moon Shadow is the active party, if it weren't for her dependence on Tianyou, changing a monster could completely manipulate and encroach on Tianyou's body and even soul. Of course, if you really change the monster Tianyou, you won't let him parasitize in the first place.
The state of the mocking wind is more free than the moon shadow, saying that it is a demon pet, it is really a pet in raising, not to mention the contract, there is not even a rope, it is even looser than the pet ****.
Therefore, Tianyou and his two demon pets are definitely three wonders, and no one may believe them when they tell others. Of course, Tianyou himself felt strange, so he was surprised that there was no contract between the Treasure Golden Toad and its original owner.
In this regard, Jubao Jin Toad explained.
"It's not that the owner doesn't want to sign the contract, but because he can't. ”
"Why?"
"Because I'm too high-level. ”
"Are you of high rank?" Tianyou didn't believe it, although this soft egg will become bigger and smaller, it doesn't look like a high level, of course, it may be that its original owner level is too low. "What level are you? Can speak, it shouldn't be just a spirit demon, right? A mid-level or high-level demon can't be a big demon, right?"
Jubao Jin Toad actually whispered a little twisted: "That, in the next is actually a half-step demon king." ”
Tianyou was stunned for a moment, staring at this guy for a long time, and then suddenly burst out laughing. "Ahahahaha...... Laughed at me. Half-step demon king. Why don't you say you're the Demon Emperor? Oops, my stomach hurts!"
Seeing Tianyou's complete disbelief, Jubao Jin Toad whispered: "Although I am timid, I am afraid of pain, I have no attack power, and my demon power is also very weak, but I am really a half-step demon king." ”
"Okay, okay, you don't have to explain, just assume that you are the demon king. I don't ask anymore, oops my belly. Ha ha...... , you go on to say the following. Since you are the Demon King, your master will use a wooden box for you? Why do you need to use iron? You need to add a few more chains. ”
Jubao Jin Toad actually said seriously: "That's because the master is afraid that I will eat the iron box." ”
"What, I'm afraid you'll eat the box?"
"Didn't I say it before? My ability is to be able to eat. As long as it is gold, silver, copper, iron, and other things, I can eat them. ”
"Can you still eat iron?" Tianyou stopped smiling, he was surprised. This monster is full of weirdness.
"What happened later? Why did you go to the storehouse of the White Mansion after you ran out?"
"I'm looking for something to eat. ”
"Eat?" Tianyou suddenly remembered that this guy said that it eats gold, silver, copper, and iron, so doesn't that mean that it goes to the treasure house to eat the money inside? The gold and silver in the treasury are its food, and the essence of copper money is copper-tin alloy, and it can still be eaten, isn't this just eating money?" "You don't plan to eat all the gold in the treasury, do you?"
"I thought so, but unfortunately I just swallowed a gold bead and was discovered by the owner, and now I'm still hungry. ”
"You really eat gold, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pull it out?"
"Pull?
"Damn, you're not going to just eat and not pull, are you?"
"I'm a Jubao Golden Toad, of course I can't get in or out. If you pull them out, won't you become a wealth boy?"
"Huh...... How much do you eat? How much do you have to eat a day? Do you have to have a combination of gold, silver, copper, and iron to maintain a balanced nutrition, or do you have to eat whatever you want? Are you sure you ran out by yourself? Not thrown by your master?"
Such a waste wood monster, there is no use, not to mention paying back the fucking money, who is not allowed to throw it away? This is like carrying a big poor god on your back, and the richest man in the world will also make you a beggar. Tianyou felt that he suddenly understood the voice of its original owner.
"Actually, it's not enough. I've always been hungry anyway, and I can eat as much as I want, but if I really don't, I can't actually starve to death, but I'll be more likely to get sleepy. ”
As soon as he heard this, Tianyou was even more sure of his previous guess, this guy was definitely abandoned. Its owner is afraid of being eaten.
Tianyou is also thinking about how to throw this guy away in a while. Anyway, you must not keep it by your side, otherwise there will soon be an extra beggar named Tianyou on the side of the road.
"You said that you are a monster who is as timid as a mouse, has no combat power, and likes to eat money, how can you have the courage to say that you are a demon king?"
"It's a half-step demon king. ”
"That's right, how dare you say that you are a half-step demon king?"
"Because I really am. ”
"A half-step demon king who can't eat anything but eat?"
"Who said I wouldn't know anything?" was said by Tianyou, and the extremely cowardly Jubao Golden Toad actually began to argue.
Tianyou asked it rhetorically: "Didn't you say that your ability is to eat?"
"Being able to eat is just one of my abilities. I have other abilities. ”
"Then tell me what other abilities you have, worthy of the level of the Upper Half-Step Demon King?"
"I can smell the treasure. ”
"Smell the treasure?"
"Well, for example, you have a peerless weapon in the carefree bag you have hanging on your body. ”
Tianyou's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he asked sharply: How do you know?"
"It smells it. Jubao Jin Toad said as a matter of course: "It's impossible not to smell such a fragrant smell." The saliva is almost coming down. ”
Tianyou looked at the treasure golden toad in surprise, hesitated for a while, and then asked with a serious expression: "Can you smell any treasure?"
"It depends. The better the baby, the more fragrant it smells, and it can be smelled from a distance of more than ten miles. Once, I helped my master find a piece of hematite, and I smelled it all the way across the ten miles. However, ordinary treasures such as gold, silver, copper, and iron have a much lighter smell, and they can only be smelled very closely, and if they are buried too deep in the ground, it is possible to miss them. Oh yes, it's actually not just ordinary treasures, like some Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass or something, I can smell it, but I don't eat that thing, the owner likes it very much. ”
Now Tianyou really believes that this guy is a half-step demon king. Even though it is timid, even though it has no fighting power, and even though it eats money every day, the ability to hunt for treasure makes up for all its shortcomings. What kind of combat power do you need to be able to directly find the natural materials and treasures in the wild? It would be good to use it as a prospector. "By the way, what the hell did you order this skill tree? This attribute is crooked!" (To be continued.) )
