Chapter 4 I'm a pill and just want to grow up
Ten years ago, deep in the mountains of the southwest, in a cave sheltered by wicker.
A cute little panda, waving a branch, said the demon language he had just learned:
"Well, I am the Panda Ancestor and the King of Iron Eaters! Wait for the little demon, if you don't retreat, you will die! β
At the same time, he staggered forward, almost tripping over a stone, but still raised his branch high and slashed at the willow that hung down at the mouth of the cave.
Syllable!
The wicker scattered, as if the strong enemy had been repulsed, and the red panda grinned happily, its two black ears swaying from side to side.
Amid the sound of slightly heavy footsteps, a large adult giant panda appeared outside, quietly wiped the blood from its body, and then bent down into the hole.
The little red panda hurriedly greeted the comer, rubbing the comer's legs affectionately.
"What is this?" The adult giant panda was like a trick, and with a wave of its claws, a few more fragrant spirit fruits suddenly appeared in front of him.
"It's delicious!" The little panda lay on the ground and looked at its mother with adoring eyes - every time she went home, she could conjure a spirit fruit out of thin air, which was amazing!
"Let's eat." The eyes of adult giant pandas narrowed into crescents.
The little panda picked up the spirit fruit, took a bite, puffed out its cheeks and chewed it carefully, looking extremely solemn, as if participating in some sacred ceremony.
After swallowing it in one gulp, it closed its eyes, closed its two small paws on its chest, and said reverently as if it were chanting a mantra:
"Grow up!"
Only when you grow up can you have the strength to help your mother fight.
But for some reason, it always doesn't grow long, and it doesn't grow tall for a long time, which is really unlucky.
The adult giant panda sat down slowly, looking at the skinny body of his child, but he looked very relieved.
In the vein of the iron-eating beast, the more difficult it is for the body of the young beast to grow, the purer the bloodline, and the higher the upper limit of the future.
But only if there are sufficient resources to provide for it.
So the adult giant panda turned its head, looked in a certain direction outside the cave, hesitated, and pressed the wound on its body again.
Finally, it looked down at its child, its gaze extremely soft.
"Marimaru, you must grow up peacefully......"
Qishan, in the valley, Panda Marimaru remembered the past and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
To this day, it has not fully grown.
Fortunately, it is already very powerful.
Rumble!
As soon as the diminutive Marimaru stomped his foot, the ground around him cracked like a spider's web, and the huge valley trembled, startling the demons one after another.
Marimaru was very satisfied with his own kick, his claws crossed his waist, and he shouted majestically:
"The resources in the mountains are getting less and less, let's go out and fight in all directions!"
"The first stop is in Beishan, where the demon clan is scarce, and there is only one bamboo that has become a fine, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Eat that bamboo and divide the resources of Beishan, you all have hope to become a big demon!"
Marimaru was impassioned, vigorously depicting a bright future, raised his paws, and shouted in what he considered the most domineering voice:
"Whew-"
When the demons heard the sound, they quickly raised their heads and responded perfunctorily:
"Roar, roar, roar."
"Quack."
The sound was sparse and weak, and it reverberated in the valley and then faded away.
Bamboo? Whoever eats that thing is not too panicked, the demon beasts are more interested in the spirit flower and spirit fruit.
And the demons all know that Beishan's aura endowment is worse than that of Qishan, almost none, so the number of demon clans is scarce, and bamboo can stay - because there are no long legs, the demon beasts with long legs have long run away.
A trip from afar, just to catch a fine bamboo? The ghosts were willing to go, if it weren't for the ferocity of this iron-eating beast, the demon beasts would have dispersed a long time ago.
When Marimaru saw this scene of the demon's heart, he understood that he had failed, and glared angrily, and the dark circles under his eyes seemed to have deepened.
Without the help of the demons to search the mountain, it went to find the bamboo of the North Mountain alone, so when will it have to be found?
Time is precious, and it wants to grow up early.
"Won't go? Do I have to scare and scare? β
After that, he opened his mouth slightly, showing his sharp fangs, and scared the demons into trembling.
Although it is short in size, as a gifted demon with excellent bloodline, its aura is already quite terrifying, and its every move has a good deterrent effect on this group of little demons.
Marimaru snorted, and didn't hesitate, this is about to set off, leading the demon beasts to Beishan, and start its path to the king.
Suddenly, a breeze rose, and the leaves in the mountains swayed.
"I don't need you to go, I'm already here."
Marimaru was startled and turned back suddenly.
In the faint morning glow, in the thin mist.
A fox with fiery red fur appeared in the valley and was quietly watching it.
The fox is very young, but its gaze is calm and deep, as if it has gone through thousands of years.
β¦β¦
Just now, the timid red cloud got a little closer to the valley, and it smelled the smell of a large number of demon beasts, which frightened it so much that it trembled on all fours and couldn't walk.
"Don't be so afraid." The green leaves at the center of his eyebrows lit up, and Zhu An's divine thoughts comforted, "With me, no one can hurt you." β
Hongyun grinned bitterly at the corners of his lips, obviously this sentence did not reassure it.
There are hundreds of demon beasts in the valley in front of you, and there is even a ferocious iron-eating beast demon, if the illusion of the bamboo of the northern mountain fails, then it will be cold.
Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound, and it was Panda Marimaru's pretended domineering roar, which shook the mountains.
Immediately after that, the hundred demons roared in unison, although it was a little chaotic, but the voices gathered together were still magnificent, and the aftermath echoed endlessly.
The young Hongyun He had experienced this battle, his eardrums trembled, his eyes rolled, and he fainted directly.
"Are you so daring?" Zhu An was a little helpless.
"It seems that the Red Fox Clan has not been in a good situation these years."
Like this kind of little demon with ordinary blood, although he has spiritual intelligence, his physical background is too poor, and his combat power is slowly improved, and he can only seek self-protection in the face of jackals, tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, so it is not surprising that he often lives in fear and is timid.
Zhu An didn't think too much about them before, the red fox would be rewarded with spirit fruits, and he also gave him wooden beads, so he didn't feel indebted to anything.
But now that he's regained his human touch, he's come to realize that some things aren't as simple as a transaction.
This group of little foxes made him feel a rare warmth in this strange world.
This is already very valuable.
Zhu An decided to give Hongyun a chance just like he did when he saw the little red fox.
However, the first priority is to take the mischievous iron-eating beast away.
Before the red cloud woke up, Zhu An directly controlled its body, slowly stood up, and walked into the valley in front of him.
In the chaotic and crowded group of demon beasts, he controlled the fox body and walked alone.
No one saw him, but they all unconsciously moved their bodies and took the initiative to make a way.
Soon, Zhu An saw the panda pill standing on a high place, stared for a moment, was a little relieved, and nodded.
"Well, it's indeed a descendant of an old fellow, and it seems that the talent is okay."
"If the old man knows, he should rest assured, when I come to me, there is still hope for the revival of the Iron Eaters."
As for Fang Cai's shout of "eat the bamboo of the North Mountain", Zhu An heard it clearly, but he was not angry at all, but found it interesting.
When the difference in strength is too great, there is not much difference between provocation and selling cuteness.
He even wanted to tease this naughty junior.
At this time, Marumu also saw this red fox with a special temperament, so he wrinkled his nose and put on a majestic posture.
"Little fox demon, didn't I say that let the demons of Qishan gather in the morning? Why are you late? β
Zhu An did not identify himself, but reminded:
"You're still too weak now, and if you show your head like this, you'll die."
"Me? Too weak? Marimaru pointed at himself and grinned a few times.
Although it hasn't really grown up yet, the potential of the bloodline has been released, and it was promoted to the big demon early, and now it is invincible all over Qishan, even if these hundreds of little demons in the valley are swarmed up, it is not afraid at all.
Is this still called weak?
"This big demon still has something to do, don't delay my time, talk nonsense again, be careful to eat you!"
Marimaru said viciously, pretending to open his mouth wide and showing a mouth full of white teeth.
was threatened again, but Zhu An was a little happy, because he recalled the interesting things in the past.
"Back then, the last ancestor of your Iron Eating Clan, when he first saw me, he also wanted to eat me."
Marimaru wanted to scare and scare the other party again, but when he heard this, he couldn't help it and laughed out loud again.
When he was a child, his mother said that the last Demon King Ancestor of the Iron Eating Clan died three thousand years ago, and since then the clan has declined, and no more demon kings have been born.
This little fox demon who has just come of age at first glance, has he not lived for 3,000 years?
Listening to each other's blowing of the air, Marimaru also squeezed his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "And then?" Have you been eaten? β
Zhu An replied seriously: "Then it was fanned away by me." β
"Hahahaha......" Marimaru was suddenly overjoyed, and he leaned back and laughed.
But when it straightened up again, its eyes were already wide open, and the momentum of the talented demon was like a surging wave, erect.
"It's okay to brag, but it's okay to insult my ancestorβ"
It glared at the red fox fiercely, its small chest rose and fell violently, and there was a little grievance in its anger - the iron-eating beast clan was so miserable that it was almost extinct, not to mention that even a little fox dared to step on it.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
