Chapter 68: The Demon Beast Boy (Extra)
"Brother Dog, will you accompany me to the back mountain to pick spirit fruits?" When I was able to get out of bed and walk, I used to pester the boy who had rescued me from the Colosseum.
Because of the grace of saving my life, whenever I want to do something interesting, I can't help but think of him first.
"Qingzhou, Master named me Xiao Ya." The young man who was standing on the stake looked down at me who was squatting on his instep, then looked at the others around him, and reminded, "You can also call me senior brother." ”
"Okay, Brother Dog." I raised my head and happily looked at the young man who was seriously cultivating, "Let's go to the back mountain to pick spirit fruits." ”
Of course, I knew that Master named him Xiao Ya, and I also knew that I needed to call him Senior Brother.
But whether it is Xiao Ya or Senior Brother, they all seem too ordinary.
Only the title of "Brother Dog" belongs exclusively to the two of us.
"Go, go, go! Brother dog, come with me. "I leaned up so that my neck was a little sore, and in the face of Brother Dog, who was still concentrating on cultivation, I held his calves and shook them from side to side, trying to make him look at me more.
"You didn't even go with me last time." The other senior brothers and sisters, as long as I open my mouth, they will happily take me to the back mountain, but Brother Dog is always cold, and he only has cultivation in his heart.
"Wait until my cultivation is over." Xiao Ya pursed her lips and put only one hand around my back to prevent me from falling, but she did not immediately agree to my request.
Although I was a little disappointed in my heart, I finally got an affirmative answer, so I hugged his calf harder.
I don't know if it's just the sunshine and the spring breeze is intoxicating, or if I've been making a fuss for a while, I'm really tired, and I actually fell asleep holding my dog's legs.
Moreover, I also heard Ah Xiu say afterwards that my saliva wet my dog's trouser leg after I fell asleep.
I didn't realize any of this, I knew that the sun was a little scorching that day, and I was half-asleep, burying my whole face on the dog's lap, and the cat was rubbing back and forth, trying to cover the light in front of me.
Just as the idea came to me, the light in front of me dimmed.
And so, I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark, and I was hanging in front of a man, with two short little legs, swaying back and forth with his steps.
At first, I didn't understand why everyone else was carrying or holding me, but when Brother Dog took me, he would tie me to his chest like a dumpling.
Later, I didn't hear Master say that Brother Dog didn't want me to be injured by him like I did in the Colosseum last time.
"Brother Dog." I half-squinted, and even if I didn't have to look at it, I could recognize who he was from the sound of the other party's steady and powerful heartbeat and the faint fragrance of grass and trees.
"Hmm." Brother Dog has never talked much, but his voice is rare and good.
"Where is this?" It's full of jungle, and it's clearly not the way back to the Federation.
"Back Mountain." As he spoke, he raised his hand to cover my head.
With the help of the overhanging vines, he jumped to the cliff dozens of meters high.
The weightlessness of my heart made me subconsciously hug Brother Dog, but the rich fragrance of the spirit fruit on the tip of my nose made me swallow my saliva again.
I reached out and picked a small spirit fruit closest to me, and put it directly in my mouth, after the sweet and sour delicacy entered my mouth, it instantly turned into a sweetness, and directly flowed into my limbs, making me, who was still a little sleepy, instantly refreshed.
I like the spirit fruit of the back mountain so much, in addition to being greedy, it is more because I have never suffered anything since I was a child, and I am willing to be lazy.
The other senior brothers and sisters all relied on diligence and perseverance, step by step, to cultivate steadily, but I, who had a good brain since I was a child, accidentally discovered that these spiritual fruits in the back mountains not only satisfy my cravings, but also help me improve my strength.
I also told a few brothers and sisters who had a good relationship with each other about this matter, but after they ate the spirit fruit, they only said that it was delicious, and they didn't say anything else.
Only Senior Brother once carefully asked me how I felt after eating the spirit fruit.
I was puzzled by this, but I didn't think much of it.
"Brother dog, is it delicious?" I held a spirit fruit bigger than my fist in both hands and brought it to his mouth.
"Hmm." He wanted to refuse, but when he saw my persistent and expectant look, he took a tentative bite, and a hint of surprise flashed in his originally deep eyebrows.
I could also clearly feel that the heart in his chest was beating a little faster than the moment before, "Brother dog, do you feel it too?" ”
Brother Dog looked at me in surprise, and did not answer in a hurry, but took another bite of the spirit fruit in my hand.
I watched him react like this, thinking that someone could finally feel the power brought by the spirit fruit like me, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and I also opened my mouth and took a bite of the spirit fruit that Brother Dog was eating.
The power of the spirit fruit makes all our senses sharper than ever.
Just as we were having a good time, there was a rustling sound at the top of the mountain, as if something was munching on food.
The senior brother raised his hand to wipe the blood-colored spirit juice from my lips for me, and made another silent gesture, and then led me quietly to the top of the mountain.
In recent years, although wars have often broken out between the Federation Continent and monsters, the back mountain, located in the center of the Federation Continent, is a very safe area.
Not to mention demon beasts, even ordinary thieves and robbers can't have them.
This is also why, Brother Dog dared to take me up the mountain alone at night to pick spirit fruits.
However, when we reached the top of the mountain, I could clearly see the shock, panic and disbelief in the dog's eyes through the silver light of the sky.
Because, he saw a blood-red demon beast, devouring piles of spiritual fruits on the ground.
An extremely familiar piece of clothing was being trampled under the feet of the demon beast, and the blood on it was blood-red, I don't know if it was blood or the juice of the spirit fruit.
"Don't look." Brother Dog pressed my head into his arms with one hand, and pulled out a long knife from his waist with the other.
The demon beast that was eating seemed to be startled by the sudden appearance of us, and actually retreated one after another.
Seeing this, Brother Dog jumped forward, swept the long knife in his hand, and slashed straight at the back of the fleeing demon beast, and blood splashed in an instant.
The monster was too young, like me, and hadn't learned any useful attack tricks; I still saw that there were many of us, and I was afraid that I would suffer a loss, so after my back was injured, I still chose to run away.
Because I was lying on Brother Dog's chest the whole time, I couldn't see his specific battle process, and I could only feel the progress of the situation sporadically from the wailing of the demon beast, Brother Dog's fighting, swinging and chopping.
Finally, with a cup of tea, the little demon beast that desperately escaped was forced to the side of the cliff.
Brother Dog slashed again, slashed in the air, and directly sent the demon beast down with his own hands.
But we, too, fell down with the monster because of inertia and the loose rocks under our feet.
I was lying on Brother Dog's shoulder, thinking that we would definitely die today, but I saw that the demon beast that was knocked off the cliff by Brother Dog suddenly stretched out its bloody big claws and slapped it on Brother Dog's back.
The power of demon beasts, I, who have personally experienced it, have the most right to speak.
Although Brother Dog is stronger than me and cultivates harder than me, if he really gets such a claw, even if he doesn't disembowel on the spot, he will lie in bed for at least ten days and half a month.
"Bang!" When Brother Dog and I were slapped back to the cliff by a claw of the monster, it fell heavily to the bottom of the cliff.
With trembling hands, I unfastened the bag that bound me and the dog, and then with the strength of the milk, I pulled the clothes off his back.
I found that there was no external injury on his back.
When Master heard the movement and brought someone over, my legs were still a little weak and curled up in Brother Dog's arms.
"Master, senior brother, he ......" Brother Dog held the clothes that had been trampled under the feet of the demon beast before, covered with blood, and held his hands in front of the master.
The master took the elder brother's clothes, and his old eyes were wet.
Such a result is something I never imagined - why is there a young monster in the hinterland of the Federation?
Why did the elder brother, who has always been the most timid and save his life, come to the back mountain alone at night?
Why, Brother Dog and I couldn't come a little earlier and rescue Senior Brother from the mouth of the demon beast?
Even the Master has not been able to give an answer to these questions.
It's just that, since then, my dreams often show the bloody face of the elder brother, and the compassionate eyes of the demon beast that fell off the cliff.
"Qingzhou, don't be afraid." Brother Dog held me, who suddenly woke up from the nightmare, in his arms, and comforted me over and over again: "It's just a dream, don't be afraid." ”
"Brother dog, people can become supernatural people." I rested my head on Brother Dog's broad and powerful chest and asked the question that many people think is stupid, "Can that person become a monster?" ”
"I don't know." Brother Dog didn't laugh at my ignorance like the others, but gently helped me smooth my back over and over again, and helped me suppress the hiccups caused by crying, "But Brother Dog assures you that no matter what happens to Qingzhou in the future, I will recognize you at a glance." ”
