Xu Yi struggled to open his eyes and observe the current form, but found that it was difficult to open even his eyelids, he moved his arm and found that it was fine, and then he began to try to lift his legs, and found that it was also very easy.

"Am I blind?" Xu Yi said secretly in his heart.

I saw him raise his arm and carefully touch his eyes, and found that there was a thick layer of greasy substance in the place of the eye socket.

Then he touched the rest of his body, and was surprised to find that not only his eyes, but his whole body was covered with something similar to grease, and more importantly, he was not wearing any clothes.

Xu Yi vigorously wiped off a layer of greasy substance covering his eyes, and opened his eyes with great effort. What you can see is a cave with a height of more than ten meters, the area of the cave is huge, and there are two skylights artificially opened at the top, but this skylight is not square, but more like the shape of a bear's claw.

"You're awake." Only a deafening voice was heard.

Xu Yi turned his head, looked at the majestic figure in front of him, and asked tremblingly, "You saved me?" ”

The iron-backed bear tilted his head and said, "It's not me, who else can it be?" But it's too tiring to talk to you like this, so I'd better get a little smaller. ”

It turned out that standing in front of Xu Yi was the iron-backed bear who was lured by Xu Yi to eat Liu Hao.

Next, the iron-backed bear shook its huge body and Xu Yi saw an amazing scene, only to see the six-meter-tall bear body slowly shrink and turn into a mini bear that was only one meter high.

Xu Yi and the ironback bear stared at each other with wide eyes, but the bear actually said embarrassedly: "I haven't mastered the size yet, and it's become a little small." ”

Xu Yi was originally full of fear of this bear, but now he couldn't help laughing, but the giant bear ignored him, but compared Xu Yi's height for a long time, and finally nodded with satisfaction when his height exceeded Xu Yi's height by ten centimeters.

"Senior Xu Yi, thank you for the life-saving grace of Senior Xiong, haven't you asked Senior Xiong's surname yet?" Xu Yi arched his hand to the iron-backed bear and asked.

"How do you know my surname is Xiong?" Ironback looked at him in amazement.

"Well, didn't you forget that when we first met, you claimed to be surnamed Xiong." Xu Yi said.

"Oh, well, after getting smaller, my brain capacity has become smaller, and my memory has been poor, as for my name, boy, I will teach you?" The iron-backed bear said with an unfathomable expression.

"Please give me advice."

"Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog. In the middle of the night, the morning goes. How long has it been like a spring dream? It seems that there is nowhere to find the clouds. Ironback Bear shook his head and said.

It was the first time Xu Yi heard a strange beast reciting an ancient poem, although humans and strange beasts were incompatible, but this iron-backed bear really helped him twice, so that not only did he not have hatred, but owed kindness.

The iron-backed bear looked at Xu Yi who was thinking, and couldn't help shaking his head proudly, but Xu Yi suddenly said: "I guess the predecessor is called Kumamon." ”

"How do you know?" Kumamon asked in shock.

"Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, bears are bears." Xu Yi explained.

Kumamon laughed, his voice was like thunder, and he patted Xu Yi's shoulder with his furry paws and said, "You are good, you are the first human to guess my name." ”

Xu Yi didn't ask what happened to the humans who didn't guess, for a giant bear who loves to eat human flesh so much, it would not be easy for him to live.

"Senior Xiong, what am I painted on this body, can you give me the clothes." Xu Yi asked.

"Well, your clothes were accidentally torn apart by me, and you are coated with royal jelly that can only be made for ten years, with a sweet taste and aroma, and it would be better for humans to pickle it with this...... Ah, no, this royal jelly can treat internal and external injuries, and the effect is very good. Before he finished speaking, Kumamon suddenly realized that there was something to ask for someone next, so he had to change his words and change his words.

Xu Yi felt chills in his heart when he heard this, and he was almost eaten by this bear, if he hadn't survived, nine times out of ten he would have become the bear's rations, and it would have been a waste at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi said to Kumamon: "I'm slimy, is there a water source near here, I want to clean it." ”

Kumamon saw that he had just said the wrong thing, and hurriedly took Xu Yi to a river outside the cave. Xu Yi realized that this was the place where he had plotted against Liu Hao before, and he didn't know how he came here in a daze.

He washed off the slippery royal jelly on his body, but found that even the disguise on his face and the dead skin on his skin were rubbed off, originally his skin color was more bronze, but now it has become fairer and tighter, he clenched his fist again, feeling that even his strength has increased, which made him a little overjoyed, but he didn't expect to be blessed by misfortune, but had an adventure.

At this time, a voice appeared in Xu Yi's mind: "I didn't expect you to be really fateful, and you can't die like this." ”

Xu Yi knew that this was Azathoth communicating with him, and he also said in his heart: "Azathoth, since I use my body as a cage and lock you in my body, don't think about being able to escape before I die." ”

"Hmph, I, Azathoth, am also a demon with credit, I just want to remind you that the evil god Aberhoth who was in the grotto before is not easy to mess with, you are too weak, don't provoke it in the future."

Of course, Xu Yi is self-aware, as the youngest evangelist, his talent is not strong, but Azathos is very strong.

"But now that your injuries are healed, we can go back to the grotto, the mural is full of divinity, and I need to eat it." Azathoth said in Xu Yi's mind.

"Huh? Is it? That's not in a hurry, why didn't you say it before. Xu Yi said in surprise in his heart.

"You were so badly injured before, even if I said it, it would be useless, your body is a cage that traps me, and it is also a carrier of my strength." Azathos said helplessly in Xu Yi's heart.

Xu Yi understood this truth, since he locked Azathoth in his body, they were in a relationship of symbiosis and equivalent exchange. Demons have a long lifespan and a strong life force, and they like to devour divinity the most, so when Xu Yi finds the divine substance, he can get lifespan from Azathoth.

This is an exchange, it is not that Xu Yi's lifespan has become longer for no reason, but that Azathos gave his lifespan to Xu Yi in exchange for divinity. The same is true for treatment, Xu Yi passed on the injury to Azathoth in exchange for his lifespan after being seriously injured.

Because for a person, those so-called serious injuries are really not worth mentioning in the body of a demon with strong vitality. And this kind of deal must be proposed by someone to work, so even if Xu Yi is dying, if he doesn't propose a deal, then it will be useless for Azathos to save him.

This is the preacher's greatest secret, each of them has a demon locked in them that is used as a trade. Of course, it is precisely for this reason that they often do not live to the end of their lives, because their lives are used to trade with demons.

And not only can the preacher and the demon in him trade, but the two preacher can also trade with lifespan, and when life becomes currency, this is also an important reason for hastening the preacher's death.

At this time, the Kumamon bear, which had shrunk to less than two meters, was happily fishing in the river, and the waves on the surface of the water woke up the pensive Xu Yi. He suddenly felt a little hungry in his belly, and he also planned to catch two fish to roast and eat.

At this moment, a large fish measuring five meters long jumped up from the clear water of the river and tried to swallow the Kumamon that was playing in the water.

Xu Yi lay on the surface of the water and closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to look directly at the miserable fish of this fish, only to hear a rough bear roar, and the Kumamon bear, who had recovered his original size, punched the head of the big fish, and beat the fish beast to death.

Xu Yi drooled when he looked at such a big fish, hurriedly took out the clothes that Leia gave him from the space folding ring, put them on, and then helped Kumamon carry the big fish ashore.

So under the concoction of Kumamon and the help of Xu Yi, one person and one bear ate a sumptuous grilled fish feast. Kumamon smeared royal jelly on the big fish, and Xu Yi also took out the wine that Huang Hua gave him from his space folding ring and shared it with Kumamon.

One person and one bear drank in a daze, hooked shoulders and called brothers and sisters, only to hear Kumamon bear say with a knotted tongue: "Brother Xu, the fruit I gave you more than a month ago is actually not poisonous." ”

"I know." Xu Yi shook his head and said.

"You know?" Kumamon was a little surprised.

"I'll know after the first bite, and it's naturally useless for you to use the remaining methods of humans to deal with people." Xu Yidao.

Kumamon sighed and said, "No wonder Master I said that humans are the most cunning creatures, and he didn't lie to me." ”

"You still have a master?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

"Master I am a human being, but he does not forbid me to eat people, he taught me to practice, but then he suddenly disappeared," Kumamon said nostalgically.

"Then what did you mean when you said more than a month ago that I would look for you in half a year?" Xu Yi asked

Speaking of this, Kumamon came to his senses, and he said to Xu Yi seriously: "Actually, any time is fine, say half a year because you were too weak at that time, but I didn't expect that after only a little more than a month, you can barely help me." ”

"What's the busy?" Xu Yi asked, after all, he had received two favors from Kumamon twice, and he had to reciprocate.

"I've always wanted to go to the human world to find my master, but even if I shrink to the height of a person, I'm still a bear, so I want you to help me transform into a human form." Kumamon said.

The operation of everything has its own trajectory, and the evolution of alien beasts is the same, human beings, as the primates of all things, even if they are now in a corner of peace, the image is engraved in the hearts of all intelligent alien beasts. However, under normal circumstances, it is possible for a strange beast to learn human language only when it reaches the beta energy level, and only when it reaches the gamma energy level can it fade from the beast body and transform into a human form.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly felt that Kumamon was a monster, obviously he didn't even reach the beta energy level, he could actually speak, and he would shrink his size.

Kumamon seemed to see Xu Yi's question, and explained: "Although I am the same as you, I am only at the alpha energy level, and that is because I am not old enough to live, and my master has taught me how to practice, so I can use abilities that exceed the alpha ability level, and you can also treat me as an iron-backed bear with beta energy level." ”

Kumamon's explanation surprised him, he didn't expect that alien beasts could practice like humans, but the method of cultivation should be different. Kumamon also seemed to see his doubts and explained, "You humans practice the power of Cthulhu, while we beasts practice demonic power, and there is a difference between the two. ”

"And what do you need me to do?" Xu Yi asked.

"There is a Luojia Mountain in the northeast of Moyuan City, and there is a Beast Zhai on the mountain, and there is a rule in Beast Zhai, as long as a person can prove that his ability to control foreign beasts is stronger than that of a person who controls Beast Zhai, he can get the Transformation Pill refined by Beast Zhai, and I need you to go to Beast Zhai with me to get a Transformation Pill." Kumamon said.

"But I'm not a beast control attribute at all, and I can't control alien beasts." Xu Yi said helplessly.

"It's not simple, I'm just an alpha energy-level iron-backed bear, but no one knows that I can speak, and my IQ is still so high, when the time comes, the jaws of those of us who cooperate well with the beast control will not be shocked." Kumamon said proudly.

Xu Yi listened to Kumamon's analysis and felt that it made sense, so he agreed to his request and planned to go with him to control the beast.

However, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Zhao Xuetong to attend her graduation party, so he asked, "How far is it from here to Luojia Mountain?" ”

"I don't know exactly how far, but with my footsteps, it will take about a month to get there."

After listening to Kumamon's words, Xu Yi put his mind at ease, and now there are more than three months before Zhao Xuetong's graduation party, which is enough to catch up.

However, before going to Luojia Mountain, he wanted to go to the Tieling Grottoes again, and Kumamon readily agreed.
