Volume 3 Water City Chapter 196 Talking Little Demon Beast
The entrance to the shop is narrow, but the inside is spacious and luxurious, which is a bit out of place with the strange shape outside.
Next to the door, there is a Taishi chair made of jujube wood, the water tank is so wide, and there is an old man in sackcloth sitting on it, about seventy years old, with white hair and white beard, wrinkles on his face, holding a small teapot in his hand, he is squinting his eyes and sitting there leisurely drinking tea, others pass by him, he doesn't even look at it, he entertains himself, and there is a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am sober.
His name is Zeng Minbo, he is the owner of this little demon shop, he rarely comes to the store when he is fine, but today there is a distinguished guest who comes to the door, he has to wait carefully, this time the distinguished guest has not arrived, he is a little bored to wait, so he simply drinks tea on the Taishi chair and rests for a while, and waits for the distinguished guest to come to the door.
When Zhou Nian passed by him, he felt that this old man was different, in his previous life, he was a Xinghe Martial Saint, if he didn't even have this bit of eyesight, it would really be in vain.
couldn't help but mobilize his soul power to probe Zeng Minbo's whole body slightly, Zhou Nian quickly retracted it again, his face was a little solemn, but he didn't speak.
According to his preliminary judgment, the strength of the bad old man in front of him is not low, at least at the level of a nine-star great martial artist, and he is about to break through the bottleneck and enter the ranks of one-star martial masters, the only regret is that there is something wrong with his body, and there is a trace of evil power that is extremely difficult to detect shackles him, and it is difficult to complete the breakthrough.
It's a pity, but Zhou Nian is not the kind of nosy person, after recovering his soul power, he walked into the store and watched by himself.
The little demon shop lives up to its name, and the creatures sold here are all small demon beasts with low strength, and they have no intelligence at all, at most they can be bought back as pets to play with.
No wonder they dare to blatantly sell demon beasts here, and they are all small demon beasts that have no status at all, and they will not be taken seriously at all.
All the little monsters are locked in carefully built cages, which are placed with plenty of food and water, and it stands to reason that being able to eat and drink enough is the greatest pleasure of life, but if freedom is restricted, no matter how great the pleasure is, it is sad.
The different types of little demon beasts naturally vary in their performance in the cage, either they keep biting the cage and longing for freedom, or they are asleep and content with the status quo, and there are some timid little monster beasts whose bodies are so frightened that they curl up in a ball and shiver in the cage.
Thousands of appearances, interspersed among them, just like the different attitudes of human beings towards difficulties, although the little demon beast does not have intelligence, but it has the same innate instinct as humans.
Since I have life, I must go to see the world of flowers outside!
Zhou Nian looked as he walked, his eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly fixed in one place.
It was a small black and yellow demon beast, similar in appearance to a flying fox, with a pitch-black nose, two green eyes blazing, a pair of pointed ears on the head, long and big, sharp teeth, looking very sharp, and six tails growing behind the buttocks, each tail was completely different in color, it looked cute, but it was actually very fierce.
Frowning, Zhou Nian had never seen such a strange little demon beast, and his curiosity was troubled, so he couldn't help but step forward and take a second look.
But because of these two more glances, that little guy blew up the temple, and he grinned at Zhou Nian, and his voice was very hoarse.
"Hiss......"
Like the screaming of a snake, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, let alone tame, even if you reach out and touch it, it is estimated that it can bite off a piece of the skin on a person's hand.
The more Zhou Nian looked at it, the more interested he became, Xu had a soft spot for this ferocious little demon beast, and deliberately leaned closer with his hands on his knees, with a faint smile on his face.
The little guy saw that his hissing had no effect on Zhou Nian, and the hairs on his whole body stood up, and the six tails suddenly swayed, and he actually spoke!
"Hey, boy, what are you looking at, I'll bite you to death if you look at it again!"
"Huh?"
His pupils dilated, Zhou Nian looked around in shock, and saw that there was no one around to talk to him, and his scalp suddenly tingled!
It's so strange that a little demon beast without intelligence can actually speak?
Rare!
Swallowing his throat, Zhou Nian hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Just now...... Are you talking?"
"What?" the little guy was obviously surprised, and his green eyes widened as if they were about to burst out of their sockets, "you...... Can you hear me?"
"Oh my God, you're really talking!" Zhou Nian was shocked, and his body trembled suddenly.
The little one's tail was curly, and his two front paws clung to the cage, and he exclaimed, "Oh my God, you can really hear me!"
"Hiss......"
The two of them were completely amazed at each other's special abilities.
Zhou Nian was puzzled in his heart, according to the common sense in the past, the demon beasts in the City of Water can only speak if they have spiritual intelligence, why can the grumpy little demon beast in front of him also speak?
His brows furrowed together, Zhou Nian first looked around, and saw that he didn't attract the attention of others, so he lowered his voice and said, "You...... How can you speak the language of a human being?"
The little guy hesitated, and then said in a strange voice, "Human language? I'm talking about the beast language of monsters, so how can you understand the beast language?"
"I don't know where to go. "Zhou Nian didn't have a good airway.
"That's weird, you're the first human who can hear me, could it be that you can also hear the beast language of other little monster beasts?"
The little guy made a point, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Why don't you go around and see if you can hear it?" ”
"Oh. Zhou Nian muttered, thinking back to what he had seen many years ago, and hurriedly went to verify it himself.
Walking back and forth in the store, Zhou Nian would squat down next to a cage and ask, "Hey, can you hear me?"
It's like a demon stunned, such a move, once or twice, it's okay, but too many times will inevitably attract other people's doubts.
Talking to the little demon beast with low strength, this person is sick!
After trying for a long time, Zhou Nian returned to the little guy with a solemn face, smacked his mouth, and his heart was full of confusion.
The little guy anxiously asked, "Hey, how's it going?"
"No, I can't hear a word of the other little demon beasts, I can only hear your voice. ”
The little guy took a breath and said, "Shh...... It's strange, could it be that our ancestors are related by blood?"
Zhou Nian frowned when he heard this, and glanced at it directly, "your blood relationship, you are a demon beast and I am a human, how is it possible." ”
"Then why can you hear me?"
"Well...... "Pointing his index finger to his chin and looking down for a while, Zhou Nian had a general eyebrow in his heart, and muttered, "Unless there is only one possibility." ”
"Oh?
Zhou Nian suddenly raised his head, his face even more solemn, "Unless you are not a demon beast." ”
"What!" the little guy jumped directly in the cage and shouted, "I'm the purest six-tailed little flying fox, how can I not be a demon beast!"
"What!"
Zhou Nian's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and he said urgently, "What did you say your name just now?"
"Six-tailed little flying fox. ”
"Little Flying Fox?" Zhou Nian seemed to understand something, and suddenly realized, "I see, so it is!"
The little one said curiously, "Did you guess something?"
Zhou Nian asked rhetorically, "Do you want to know your true identity?"
"I ...... I already knew. ”
"No, you're not an ordinary demon beast, but a spirit beast!"
"Spirit beast?" the little guy was confused, and couldn't help but scratch his head with his scratch and asked, "What is a spirit beast?"
Zhou Nian said solemnly, "You have been trapped in the City of Water for too long, and you have not had the opportunity to see the world of flowers outside, in fact, outside the City of Water, there is a creature that looks similar to you, it is a spirit beast, not a demon beast, and it also knows a language called Spirit Language, but only people with strong soul power can hear it, your real name is not called Six-Tailed Little Flying Fox, but Six-Tailed Little Electric Fox!"
"Little Electric Fox?"
"That's right, it seems that your family has hidden something from you, and has kept your background a strong secret. ”
"You...... How do you prove that I'm a spirit beast and not a demon beast?"
"Hehe, simple. Zhou Nian chuckled, then pointed to the tail of the little electric fox, and said, "The biggest difference between spirit beasts and demon beasts is that the former has very strong combat power, especially when angry, it will stimulate unimaginable potential, your six tails are your most powerful weapons, if I guess correctly, you have used it to discharge electricity, and it is estimated that you have injured many people." ”
"Hiss......" took a deep breath, and the little electric fox was stunned, "You...... How do you know?"
"It's not that I know, but the fact, this is also the difference between you and your kind, the combat power of spirit beasts is much higher than that of ordinary demon beasts. ”
Hearing this, the little electric fox lowered his head and pondered, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "You just said that only people with strong soul power can hear spiritual words, since you can hear me, then you must be very strong, right?"
Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe, it's average." ”
"That'...... Can you get me out of there?"
"Oh, do you want to go out?"
"I just want to find out where I came from, and I don't want to be trapped in this hellish place for the rest of my life. ”
Zhou Nian looked at it indifferently, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile, "Hehe, your attitude towards me before was very arrogant, didn't you say that you wanted to bite me to death?
"You...... Why are you so vindictive? The little electric fox muttered in a low voice, but obviously had no confidence.
Zhou Nian said lightly, "Everyone holds grudges, since you want to go out, you have to remember this first!"
"This ...... In this case, are you willing to help me?" The little electric fox was full of excitement, his IQ improved quickly, and he actually listened to the voice of a human being.
Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe, it's not difficult to get you out, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
"What's the matter?"
"After I get you out, I will be your master, and I will help you find out your background, but no matter what happens in the future, you have to listen to me, can you do it?"
