Whoosh~
Chen Lu tossed a frisbee into the sky, and a flock of Winged Slis flapped their wings to chase the frisbee.
The guard dog stared resentfully at the Winged Slis; they had taken its toy.
Li Cunxu was leisurely lying on a waterbed made up of Water Slis, basking in the sun.
"The rookie cup is over, and I’ve got the Blood Lotus Eye. What should I do next? It feels like there’s nothing to do. Oh, right, the high school competition starts soon."
The top three in the high school competition can go straight to the three major academies.
The three major academies are the best universities in the alliance, and every year countless people apply, with only three thousand admitted.
But this competition doesn’t have much to do with Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu doesn’t et the rigid requirent for participating, the high school competition requires participants to be Beast Masters contracted to three pet beasts.
Moreover, even if Li Cunxu t the requirents, he wouldn’t get far.
The primary participants in the high school competition are mostly third-year students, and Li Cunxu is two years behind them. He would only get completely crushed if he steps on stage now.
"Can’t participate in the competition, collect resources in the wilderness?"
Li Cunxu had just spoken, then shook his head.
The wilderness is too early and too dangerous for him.
Even in low-danger zones, high-level pet beasts often pass through. It’s fine if you don’t encounter them, but if you do, it’s very bad.
"Better to stay on the ranch honestly! Wait for Xiaoruan to collect taxes, wait for Xiaoyi to accumulate destiny points."
Li Cunxu closed his eyes to relax and enjoy the sunlight when suddenly he felt a tickle on his nose and opened his eyes to see a cascade of hair, like nimble willow strands, gently swaying in the breeze.
It was Chen Lu’s hair causing mischief.
"What are you doing? Walking silently is quite scary." Li Cunxu said.
Chen Lu withdrew her hands that were about to wake Li Cunxu and humd, "You were deep in thought, not noticing my footsteps. By the way, what were you thinking? I saw your brow furrowed."
"I was thinking about how to build a good relationship with you, so I can freely mooch off your talents and grow my blood essence deer herd." Li Cunxu said casually.
"You’re bluffing; it’s obvious you’re not telling the truth." Chen Lu said, "I want to buy your Winged Sli."
"How many?"
"Let’s start with a hundred."
"Online, I sell for twenty. Since you’re my friend, I’ll charge you ten bucks, just give a thousand."
[Pet Trust Transfer One Thousand]
"The Winged Slis are over there; pick whichever you like."
Chen Lu complained, "Have the Winged Slis fly down a bit; they’re flying so high, I can’t reach them."
Li Cunxu petted Xiaoruan, who was sunbathing on his stomach.
"Xiaoruan, tell the Winged Slis to fly lower."
"Boop~ (As you command)"
Chen Lu found Li Cunxu’s Water Sli waterbed impressive as well.
"Are you selling this Water Sli waterbed?"
"Nope, it wouldn’t be useful for you. Without Xiaoruan to command the Water Slis, they wouldn’t form a waterbed even if you bought them ho."
"Alright then!"
Chen Lu felt slightly disappointed.
...
Night descended, stars gradually faded, and amidst dead silence, a cot streaked across the night sky like an arrow, trailing a long tail at an ominous speed. Its appearance had no warning, akin to a destroyer of night, tearing a glaring fissure through the ink-blue sky.
The cot’s brilliance was exceptionally dazzling, seeming to hint at world changes and unrest.
On the night market street, passersby all looked up at the sky, speechless. Only hurried breaths and heartbeats echoed in the air, as if ti itself paused at this mont.
A little girl excitedly pointed at the cot in the sky, joyfully shouting:
"Such a beautiful teor, I want to make a wish."
Her mother abruptly interrupted her wishing, chastising: "No wishing, this isn’t a teor for realizing nice wishes, it’s a cot symbolizing disaster. Your dad disappeared because of this cot."
A pedestrian opened his mouth, uncertainly saying:
"Is this the Celestial Sweeping Cot?!"
"Yes."
"Why standing in a daze, quickly call ho and check who’s missing."
This sudden change shattered the night’s tranquillity. People lost interest in strolling, hurrying ho.
At the sa mont, the mayor’s secretary burst into the mayor’s office.
The mayor looked stern upon seeing this.
The secretary normally observes decorum, yet she just entered without knocking, aning sothing’s happened.
"What’s the matter?"
"The Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God’s Celestial Sweeping Cot just streaked across Tongdu’s sky."
The mayor scratched his head, "Damn, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God is stirring trouble again, and it’s the most troubleso Celestial Sweeping Cot this ti."
The Celestial Sweeping Cot is a celestial catastrophe initiated by the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God.
Each ti the Celestial Sweeping Cot appears, it randomly takes people away, drawing them into a secret realm.
The secret realm teems with resources, symbolizing opportunity, but it presupposes the realm has been explored. If not explored, a secret realm is extrely dangerous, leading to many deaths.
The secret realm that the Celestial Sweeping Cot takes people into is even more dangerous. Not only hasn’t it been explored, it also contains many evil beasts.
Evil beasts are akin to blood beasts; originally pet beasts, they were tainted by the Evil God’s power, morphing into the Evil God’s form.
After cursing, the mayor calmly issued a response: "Imdiately count the city’s population, ascertain how many people the Celestial Sweeping Cot dragged into the secret realm, and instruct the Evil God Response Bureau to promptly find out where people are being swept into the secret realm, then have them organize rescue teams."
One mont, Li Cunxu was narrating fairy tales to Xiaoruan, who was lying on his stomach avidly listening, and a little white spider dozing off atop his head.
The next mont, the bright lights went out.
"Why did the light go out? Broken? Didn’t the store say it’s a high-quality energy-saving lamp that wouldn’t break for twenty years?"
Li Cunxu looked up and saw not the light but an enormous lunar disk.
What’s going on? Where did the light go?
And where’s my ceiling? Why can I see the moon? Did soone steal my ceiling?
Li Cunxu sat up abruptly, looking around. Moonlight illuminated the surroundings, letting him see clearly.
The broad prairie of the ranch vanished, replaced by dense forest. The trees towered and were sky-high, their branches intertwining into a thick green canopy.
What’s going on? Where is this? How can there be a forest?
The sudden change involuntarily made Li Cunxu tense; his hands tightly grasped the bed sheet.
Huh?
The bed sheet felt softer than usual today.
His palm searched around.
Did the bed sheet swap for a fluffy mat? It’s quite soft, truth be told.
Phew~
A stench-laden gust wafted from behind.
Li Cunxu turned his head rigidly, the massive wolf head exhaled hot air, its eyes glowing green like two lanterns before the door.
He suddenly understood where the fluffy mat ca from—the giant wolf’s belly.
Who transferred him from the bed to the giant wolf’s stomach?
Blood Cultists did it?
The giant wolf opened its bloodthirsty maw, its foul breath making Li Cunxu realize now’s not the ti for pondering that; it’s ti to figure out how to dodge the wolf’s mouth.
"Burning Lotus Blood Fire."
Blood Lotus blossod in his left eye.
Two threads of Burning Lotus Blood Fire ignited in the giant wolf’s eyes; its high temperature made it howl with shut eyes.
Li Cunxu hastily retrieved the little white spider, who hadn’t grasped the situation yet.
"Xiaoruan, scatter fireballs to illuminate the surroundings."
