Wet viviparity

Chapter 14: Illusion, Change of Heart
In the water bird village.

Under the cover of night, Ji Ming flew over the village wall in one fell swoop and hovered over the village.

Suddenly, he aimed in a direction, folded his wings slightly, swooped down, hovered gently, and landed on a thatched roof.

"Squeak~"

Under his gaze, the group of rats quietly arrived in front of the house.

Rat Four maintained order among the rats and said, "Remember, two rats in a team, go in one by one, and when you have taken a breath, the next group will take over."

After saying that, he looked towards the roof, and when he saw Wu Songzi nod, he began to act.

Two mice in a team sneaked into the house and climbed onto the bed nimbly without making any sound.

On the bed, there was loud snoring. Two mice, one on the left and one on the right, leaned close and took deep breaths. Wisps of white air floated out of their mouths and noses.

The two mice did not breathe much. This method of relying on others' breath was like bees collecting nectar. It had no effect on the flowers. After collecting nectar many times, it could be condensed into a wisp of essence.

The two rats retreated swiftly, and two more came over, and this cycle repeated over and over again. The person on the bed gradually turned pale and sweat broke out on his body.

Ji Ming stood at the top, waiting for groups of rats to come out and provide him with popularity.

Why did he organize a rat team and specifically target this person to steal his popularity? It was probably because this person was rampant in the village, committed countless evil deeds, and was accustomed to bullying men and dominating the market.

Even if this person is sucked too much and his vitality is seriously damaged, others will just say "evil will be punished", and will not easily associate it with a monster.

In order to make the rats more efficient and not attract attention, this method is the only way to temporarily cover up some of them.

Wisps of human energy flowed into Ji Ming's beak. This strange sight made him look even more mysterious.

These strands of human energy merge into a strand of essence in the body, which then nourishes the flesh and blood, grows feathers outside the body, and also enhances the magic power.

The time it takes to improve one's cultivation always passes quickly.

Ji Ming looked at the group of rats below. He knew in his heart that this model would not be sustainable.

First, he simply couldn't collect enough honey to motivate the mice.

Second, sooner or later the rats will get tired of this mode of exploitation.

Even though most of them cannot speak human language, they are spiritual and intelligent after all. With enough time, they will be able to figure out the taste.

"Anyone who pays the favor should go to the hillside to get honey. One mouse gets three spoonfuls, and no more." Rat Four gave instructions to the team of mice that were leaving one by one.

After the group of rats left, Ji Ming was just about to talk to Rat Four when a bat as big as a basin flew in the night sky.

This bat looks very familiar. Isn’t it the new gambler in the old temple that day?

"go!"

Ji Ming dropped a word, flapped his wings and flew high, and in the blink of an eye he was out of the village.

The big black bat immediately followed, swooping down with its pair of fleshy wings. After chasing for a while, Ji Ming could no longer be seen.

The bat had no choice but to turn around and dive into the dense forest, until it came to an old tree where few people had been.

It's terribly quiet here.

The night in the dense forest is often very lively, especially for small and medium-sized wild animals, which often choose this time to hunt and find food.

But now it is unusually quiet here.

The bat landed on a branch, where he had his companions, and it was also the source of the silent forest, a source of terror.

"Old Owl, I lost him."

"I told you earlier, please call me Xiao Muzi."

On a slanted branch, a bird's head slowly turned 180 degrees, as if it was growing upside down on the body, and looked coldly at the bat demon.

"I say, do we really need to imitate that crow and give ourselves a Taoist name?"

The great owl did not reply yet, but slowly lowered its head and lifted a corner of the skull of the mountain macaque that was under its claws.

The fresh brain melts in your mouth as you peck at it with your hooked beak.

"It has been nearly a hundred years since we have fully comprehended the method of swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy, but our beastly hearts have never been able to transform into human hearts.

Until now, there has been no sign of entering the "Phantom Form". "Old Xiao Muzi, we often attend classes outside the private school, and we have learned to speak and understand human language, but our beastly hearts cannot be changed. "

The bat demon lay on the corpse of the macaque, sucking its blood while sighing in distress.

“So you have to learn.”

The owl held a piece of brain in its mouth and swallowed it whole, saying, "We don't have a wise teacher to teach us, so we only know the skin of the sage books, but not the bones.

Therefore, we must take advantage of Master Tu's help and listen to the teachings of the saints in the Hengshan Fox Society so that we can change our hearts."

The bat spirit was even more distressed after hearing this and said, "That Wu Songzi is very alert and flies very fast. He is not inferior to you Xiao Muzi. We have no chance to kill him."

“The opportunity is right in front of us.”

A determined expression appeared on Xiao Muzi's serious and fierce face.

Ji Ming flew back to the Fox Society in one breath. Although he had expected that something unexpected might happen in the next few days, he was still frightened by the bat spirit.

This subconscious instinctive reaction was not shameful. He mostly hunted in the air, and his combat experience was very little.

Could it be that the flying monster that Master Tu recruited earlier was this bat monster?

If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a big owl accompanying this bat monster.

“It’s difficult!”

Ji Ming thought for a long time but could not find a solution.

If the words had appeared in Bao's eyes, he would have given it a try, but now he was very careful about his life.

While he was in distress, Shu Si came over and delivered a message, saying that Master Na Tu asked him to go hunting in the dry stream and asked for some advice.

Ji Ming didn't even think about it, and subconsciously wanted to push him away. How could he dare to go out at this time? Wouldn't that be courting death? !

But on second thought, if I anger Master Tu, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this community for long.

Ji Ming was so uncomfortable that he scratched the floor tiles with his claws, causing stone chips to fly everywhere. Suddenly, he looked at his bird claws and an idea flashed in his mind.

"If you don't have enough Taoism, I have my own "divine weapons" to make up for it."

Ji Ming thought to himself.

He immediately started scratching on the brick surface, thinking about the structure of the "magic weapon", and worked until dawn, when he hurriedly completed the general design.

He called Shu Si over and asked him to use the paper and ink in the club to make a copy of the design engraved on the brick surface.

Although Shu Si was not well-informed, he felt a chill in his heart when he saw the pattern.

This picture shows a pair of claw gloves. No, it should be described as "war claw gloves". Just imagining it makes them seem extremely sharp.

If the black pine needle is put on, no one can stop it unless it is a monster with powerful magic.

"go with!"

Ji Ming pushed the iron box that once contained the Wind Cleansing Pill in front of Shu Si and said, "Find the best blacksmith in the Thirteen Great Villages and make sure it's made as soon as possible."

As if remembering something, Ji Ming dipped his claws in ink and left a mark on the paper, then carefully instructed, "Ask the blacksmith to make it according to this size."

Shu Si looked embarrassed, this was really beyond his ability.

"Shu Si, I know who killed your brother Shu San.

As long as you complete this task, I will help you retrieve that person's head so that you can properly pay tribute to your third brother, the rat."

As he spoke, Ji Ming slightly spread his wings, and a gust of cold wind rushed out from under his wings, blowing gently towards Shu Si, making Shu Si's whole body stiff and cold.

"If you can't do it right, I will make sure to send you to see Brother Rat Three."

Under Ji Ming's kindness and force, Shu Si held the blueprint in his arms, not daring to say a word, and quickly crawled towards the big village at the foot of the mountain.

"The bat and the owl have not yet transformed into human form, which means that their animal hearts have not yet changed into human hearts, and they are still unable to enter the realm of 'transformation'.

Logically speaking, this is considered a wild monster, without any foundation or heritage, so this is great news for me."
