Chapter 42: The Ring of Greed and the Sealing Beast
A yellow waning moon hangs high in the night sky, illuminating the white snow crystal on the top of the sunset peak, like a real illusion.
Xiaoduo looked up at the moon, and after a while, a cyan waning moon loomed on the left side of the yellow moon, and the two moons, one green and one yellow, hung in the sky, looking very good.
Xiao Duo looked at the round of Qingyue, secretly calculated the time in his heart, and muttered to himself: "Qingyue appeared, it's almost February." ”
The night wind was steep, blowing the small multi-clothed horn hunting, he was full of thoughts, looked at the two bright moons in the sky, and thought: "After being away for so long, it is estimated that Zhang Dizong and others are going to find it, and it is time to go back." He was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly there was a "Kara" sound of a tree branch being trampled off behind him, and the light flame roared, Xiao Duo was startled, and quickly turned to look at the direction where the sound came from, and the murderous aura in his eyes disappeared, and he had only one thought in his heart: "Didn't all my words just now be heard? Who is the person who came? Do you want to simply kill people and kill them?"
Lei Liao let out an "oops" and stepped on the air, but fortunately, Zhang Dizong was on the side and stretched out his hand to support him.
Lei Liao scolded: "This ghost place, two steps away is a quagmire and a deep pit, but it is still tightly covered by the fallen leaves of the forest, how can the little ghost come here!"
Zhang Di shrugged his shoulders and said: "You always don't look at your feet, just swagger over, it's strange if you don't step on it! You're almost at Jewel Lake in front, and if you can't find it by the lake, you can't do anything." Saying that, Zhang Di looked ahead and whispered to himself: "It's strange, with my tracking technique, I can't find any traces of Xiao Duo's departure, this is not normal!"
Ye Lin held his black iron rod in his hand, and walked all the way with the iron rod, but he walked the fastest, and at this moment, seeing Zhang Dizong and Lei Liao falling behind, he turned around and said, "Follow me, make sure you can't step on those quagmire puddles." Hey, I don't know if the little brother is in danger, hurry up and find him. Little girl, can you smell the smell of the little brother?" The little boy who shook the earth demon bear followed Ye Lin's side, sniffed his nose blankly, and shook his head.
Ye Lin sighed, and was about to get up and leave again, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted with cheers: "Little brother is there!" Lei Liao and Zhang Di were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward, just as they saw Xiao Duo walking towards this side with a light flame.
Xiao Duo saw Ye Lin, waved his hand, and trotted all the way towards the three of them.
Lei Liao scolded: "Damn, why can't he step on the puddle? Huh? What are you holding in your hand?"
Xiao Duo came to the three of them and said apologetically: "I had a light flame and wanted to look around, but I didn't know that I ran so far away without paying attention, which made Brother Zhang and Brother Ye worried." ”
Lei Liao snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "And me! I'm coming to you too!"
Xiao Duo said with a smile: "The servant is worried about the master's comfort, and his loyalty is commendable, not bad!"
Lei Liao took a sip and shouted, "What a conscienceless little ghost!"
Zhang Dizong looked at Xiao Duo curiously and asked, "Let's not talk about anything else, what is this thing you are holding in your hand?"
Xiao Duo was holding a small animal like a fluffy white furball in his hand at the moment, and the little thing was motionless, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive. Xiao Duo showed the hairball to the three of them and explained, "This one, I picked it up by the lake just now." ”
It turned out that Shicai Xiaoduo heard a strange noise by the gem lake, and when he looked back, he saw a white hairball crushing a branch under the tree behind him, and he was lying there motionless.
Xiaoduo hugged the hairball and said, "It seems to be alive, let's talk about it when we go back!"
The four of them went all the way back to the camp, and Lao Li had already set up a tent and waited for the four of them to come back. Ye Lin took the light flame to prepare the dinner of the group, while Lei Liao ran to Xiao Duo curiously and looked at the little white beast in his hand.
Xiao Duo found a soft bed in the tent, placed the small things on it, asked Lao Li for hot water, and fed the little beast some hot water with a small bowl.
Lei Liao looked at it for a long time, and said speechlessly: "Little ghost, what are you doing when you pick up such a thing? Something the size of a palm, it can't be enough to eat between your teeth, and it doesn't seem to be a powerful sealing beast, it's completely useless." ”
The little white beast drank some hot water, and seemed to have a little life, curled up in a ball and nested in the quilt, shivering. Xiao Duo looked at it and said, "It looks like a squirrel?"
Zhang Dizong sat on the side and said, "If I look good, it looks like a water jade squirrel." ”
Xiao Duoqi said: "Brother Zhang knows?"
Zhang Dizong took a closer look and said, "Yes, but this one seems to have grown a little fatter." ”
Lei Liao said: "Water jade squirrel? I seem to have heard of it." He patted his head and said, "Come to think of it, this thing is not the favorite pet of all kinds of high-ranking and noble families!"
Zhang Dizong nodded and said: "Yes, the water jade squirrel is smart by nature, quite spiritual, and cute, very popular with little girls, it is an expensive ornamental sealing beast, and because it lives by the lake, it is very difficult to catch, and one on the market is estimated to be sold for fifty gold coins!"
Lei Liao nodded and said, "Well, it's really useless!"
Zhang Dizong touched his chin and thought for a while, "It seems that the water jade squirrel is still a water-based sealing beast, and it can use some of the simplest sealing techniques such as water spraying...... By the way, it has a water jade crystal nucleus in its body, which can store the sealing power of the water system, so it feels warm in winter and cool in summer, and this water jade crystal nucleus is still a good material for making sealing stones, so it is still a little useful......"
The thunder monster shouted: "Kou Ji Ji Kou Ji, then kill and eat meat, take out the crystal nucleus, and you can still make a little contribution!"
Xiao Duo glanced at him and scolded: "Go aside, I want to accept it as my sealing beast!"
Lei Liao was stunned when he heard this: "What are you talking about?
Xiao Duo looked at the round body of the water jade squirrel, the small and delicate four little paws were twitching slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "If Li Ling sees it, he will definitely like it very much!"
Ye Lin walked into the tent at this time, took the barbecue and melons and fruits and handed them to Xiao Duo, and said, "I guess you need this." ”
Xiaoduo took the meat and melon fruit, tore the meat into small pieces and put it in the mouth of the water jade squirrel, but the little thing sniffed, then turned his head, and seemed to hate it. Seeing this, Lei Liao sighed even more: "I don't eat meat, what a fool!"
Xiaoduo picked up a small melon again, broke it into a piece and gave it to the water jade squirrel, the little guy opened his mouth this time and bit it, swallowed it three times and two times, just like this, Xiaoduo fed it, the water jade squirrel ate it while eating, and ate all the pots of melons and fruits brought by Ye Lin in a short time, it seems that he is hungry.
Lei Liao was holding a large piece of barbecued meat, eating with his mouth full of oil, and muttered: "Little ghost, this thing is a pet at most, if you want to use it as a sealing beast, it's useless, but a burden! You must know that after the sealer and the sealing beast make a contract, it will be one honor and disgrace, and both will be lost! If it is cut down by someone in the battle, as the master, you will also suffer a lot of backlash, you really have to think clearly." ”
Zhang Dizong also said: "Yes! The ornamental sealing beast is just something that the young lady uses to play with on weekdays, and no sealer will take in a useless sealing beast! Xiaoduo, Lei Liao is right, this water jade squirrel is useless to the sealer, you save its life, if you like it, you can lock it in a cage and take it with you, and forget about it as a sealing beast." ”
The water jade squirrel was full of food and drink, and turned over on the bed contentedly, snoring and curling into a ball, and fell into a deep sleep. Xiaoduo looked at it, smiled, and said, "Look, it looks like a white steamed bun." ”
Lei Liao shook his head and said, "You don't listen, I don't care about you, go back to sleep, and leave early tomorrow morning!"
Zhang Dizong and Ye Lin stayed in the tent, and when they saw Xiaoduo's insistence, they didn't say anything.
Xiao Duo looked at the water jade squirrel, and said secretly in his heart: "It is also fate to meet you by the gem lake, if we meet elsewhere, I will definitely not accept you as my sealing beast." However, the dying you on the edge of this gem lake reminds me of me back then, even if you are very weak, can you still sell a cute? In this case, follow me, and the status of the second divine beast under the sealing throne will be handed over to you. ”
Xiao Duo thought in his heart and asked, "Brother Zhang, Brother Ye, is the way to subdue the sealing beast to use the sealing power to fuse with the sealing beast?"
Ye Lin nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Zhang Di said: "You use the 'seal' to feel its sealing power, and attach your own sealing power to its sealing power to 'seal', theoretically the weaker the sealing beast, the easier it is to be subdued, this water jade squirrel is estimated to take it without much effort." ”
Ye Linqi said: "Don't you have a light flame? ”
Xiao Duo nodded, and the cyan wind sealing power condensed between his fingers, and cautiously pointed towards the water jade squirrel. The sealing power entered the body of the water jade squirrel, and Xiao Duo suddenly clearly felt a trembling feeling from this small furball, and said secretly: "I see, I can clearly feel its emotional fluctuations from its sealing power." ”
Although the water jade squirrel was asleep and extremely weak, it still instinctively resisted Xiao Duo's sealing power. Xiao Duo gradually strengthened the sealing power, but he felt a weak but very tenacious sealing force, constantly resisting himself, and couldn't help but wonder: "The little guy's temper is not small!"
A faint white light flashed on the water jade squirrel, and Zhang Dizong and Ye Linju, who were on the side, were stunned, and said secretly: "This water jade squirrel seems to be a little strange, and the sealing power of the water jade squirrel in my impression is not so strong." ”
The little guy squeaked, woke up from his deep sleep, and stared at Xiao Duo viciously. Xiaoduo looked at its white hair standing upside down, smiled slightly, and just looked at it.
The little guy looked at Xiao Duo and recognized him as the one who saved him, and the sealing power fluctuated a little for a while, and he seemed to hesitate a little in his heart. Xiao Duo seized the opportunity, the sealing power of the wind was wrapped around the sealing power of the little guy layer upon layer, the little guy's panicked emotions came, Xiao Duo slowed down the entanglement of the sealing power, and gently surrounded it, the light flame suddenly roared on the side at this moment, the little guy was shocked when he heard the sound, turned his head to look at the light flame, with fear in his eyes, he was at a loss, Xiao Duo felt its uneasiness, the sealing power was like a river rushing, and the blue light in his hand was flourishing, and the sealing power of the little guy was completely fused together.
Xiao Duo could suddenly feel the idea of the little thing in front of him, and it was very strange, as if there was an invisible line between himself and it, and their hearts were perfectly communicated. He could even clearly feel the faint water system sealing power in the little guy's body, which was continuously absorbing his wind system sealing power, and the two fused and penetrated, gradually stabilizing.
Xiao Duo said secretly: "It turns out that this is how it feels to subdue the Sealing Beast. ”
The little guy was looking at Xiao Duo blankly, as if he didn't know what was going on. Xiao Duo looked at its small eyes that suddenly looked like black beans, and said with a smile: "You are so white, and chubby and round, I will call you steamed buns in the future." ”
The steamed bun tilted his head, looked at Xiaoduo, suddenly "squeaked", jumped on Xiaoduo's shoulder, and affectionately stretched out his tongue and licked Xiaoduo.
Xiao Duo smiled: "It's so itchy, haha." He suddenly remembered something, his mind sank into the bracers, and he opened the first door and took out an ordinary black ring, which was the ring of greed.
After Xiaoduo got the Ring of Greed, he wanted to seal the flame of light into it, but he knew that this fool was not happy with 10,000, but Xiaoduo couldn't resist it, so he had to give up, so this Ring of Greed has been sealed in the bracer and has never been used.
He put the Ring of Greed on his right hand, and the sealing power was injected into it, and a strange space instantly appeared in his mind, different from the solemnity of the six giant doors in the Black Contract, the scene in the Ring of Greed seemed a little funny, it was actually an open-air garden-like place, the garden was quite large, and it was not far as the eye could see, surrounded by flowers and trees, there were pavilions, ponds and rockeries in it, it was simply a private manor.
Xiao Duo can clearly perceive that the internal space of the Ring of Greed is connected to the outside world through countless complicated and strange sealing arrays, and the sealing power of the outside world seems to be connected with the inside of the ring, and the garden inside the ring can even clearly feel the night breeze blowing on his face, and the sky is chaotic, although there is no sun, moon and stars, but it is also bright everywhere, not as cold and dim as in the black contract, it is really magical.
Xiaoduo sent the steamed bun into the ring of greed, the steamed bun first entered the ring, seemed a little uneasy, and after a while seemed to be familiar with this place, he actually found some hay and firewood, chose a comfortable place, and set up a small nest.
Xiao Duo was amused and summoned the steamed bun from the ring of greed, and the little guy seemed to be unhappy after coming out, staring at the ring on Xiao Duo's hand.
Zhang Di Zongqi said: "Is this the Ring of Greed? It stands to reason that after reaching the realm of the seventh-level 'Birth Seal', you can open up your own space in the sealing prop and seal the sealing beast into it, this ring can ignore this rule, and I don't know how to do it." ”
Xiaoduo shrugged his shoulders, and sent the steamed bun back and forth to send out the Ring of Greed a few times, and saw that there was no problem, so he sealed it into the Ring of Greed with confidence.
Zhang Dizong and Ye Lin did not have a seventh-level realm, and they both looked at Xiao Duo curiously, and they were amazed. Bright Flame yawned on the side, watched for a while, and then fell asleep to herself.
Late at night, the three of them made a fuss for a while, and then went to sleep.
Xiao Duo touched the greedy ring in his hand, his heart sank into it, and at this moment the inside of the ring was dark, and it seemed that he could sense the idea that Xiao Duo wanted to sleep in the outside world, and then automatically adjusted the brightness. The steamed bun curled up into a ball, lying on his stomach in the newly made nest, and had already fallen asleep. Xiao Duo watched for a moment, regained his mind, and fell asleep peacefully.
Outside the tent, two bright moons hung high, the yellow waning moon seemed to disappear at any time, looming, and the cyan crescent moon was getting brighter and brighter.
On January 26, 2015, there were six days left before the Sealer Advanced Conference.
