There is a beast in the bright morning.

With Fuzi's help, the strange-looking watermelon finally ripened.

Because there were too many watermelons, the Four-Unlikes couldn't eat them all at once, so they called the Treasure-Spitting Mouse and the others to come and enjoy the watermelons together.

The four-legged creature, seeing the large, round watermelon, no longer felt the unbearable heat. It picked up a watermelon and said, "Come on, everyone, let's all try the watermelons I grew."

Tianlu also picked a watermelon from the melon patch. Just thinking about eating the delicious and juicy watermelon soon made his mouth water: "Hahaha, I can finally eat the fruits of my labor!"

The four-legged creature took a knife and said, "Don't rush, I'll cut it for you."

"Don't bother, it's a strange creature, watch this one."

However, Tianlu couldn't wait to eat the watermelon, and didn't even wait for the Four-Unlikes to cut it. He smashed the watermelon in half with a headbutt and immediately started eating it.

Seeing Tianlu wasting watermelon like this, making a mess of broken pieces all over the ground, the four-legged creature said with some heartache, "Oh dear, my watermelon, Pipi, you're being too wasteful."

Tianlu ate most of the watermelon with gusto, getting watermelon juice all over the hair around his mouth, but he happily breathed a sigh of relief: "This watermelon is really sweet."

At the same time, Tianlu thought back to how he had been used like a beast of burden by the Qilin, doing everything from plowing to watering, which resulted in this patch of watermelons. This made him feel that the watermelons tasted even more delicious.

However, the main reason why the Four-Faced Beast used Tianlu in this way was not to grow watermelons, but to make Tianlu work more and sweat more so that their sweat could be collected to extract perfume.

Initially, the Four-Faced Beast had considered having Hao Chen join in farming, but Hao Chen secretly made and sold Pixiu perfume without the Four-Faced Beast's knowledge.

He already felt he didn't have enough raw materials to make perfume, so how could he possibly give away his precious sweat for free? Therefore, the four-legged creature could only collect sweat from Tianlu and frantically pluck it from Tianlu's Pixiu.

Just then, Tianlu spotted a bright red watermelon among a pile of watermelons and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, there's a peeled watermelon here!"

The bright red watermelon immediately whetted Tianlu's appetite, and he took a bite without thinking. But unexpectedly, the watermelon suddenly let out a painful howl.

"Ouch."

Tianlu looked closely and realized that this was not a peeled watermelon at all, but a gluttonous creature that had come to freeload on the watermelon.

Tianlu said unhappily, "Taotie, why is it you?"

When Taotie saw that it was Tianlu who had bitten it, it immediately said in a highly aggressive tone, "Why can't it be me? Can't I just come and have a couple of bites?"

When Tianlu heard that Taotie had come to steal watermelons, he slammed his paw on the ground and gritted his teeth, saying, "No way, you thief, I won't let you eat any watermelon."

However, seeing that there were still so many watermelons in the melon patch, and not caring that Taotie might eat one or two, the Four-Faced Beast acted as a mediator: "Alright, Pipi, we have so many melons, let Taotao eat a few."

"No, I won't give him any." Tianlu and Taotie seemed to be incompatible, always exchanging a few words whenever they met.

However, Taotie was not afraid of Tianlu, because he knew that Tianlu would at most beat him up and wouldn't really do anything to him.

So Taotie ignored Tianlu and even imitated Tianlu by smashing the watermelon with its head, breaking it into several pieces before eating it in large bites.

Seeing this, Tianlu also started eating watermelon in large bites, as if he would eat much less if Taotie ate one more bite.

The four-legged creature shook its head and ignored the two gluttons, then cut the watermelon in its hand into several pieces: "Walnut, Fuzi, come and eat watermelon."

Fu-zai walked over carrying a small bottle. Seeing this, Walnut asked curiously, "Fu-zai, what are you holding?"

Fuzai shook the bottle in his hand and said, "This is salt. In our country, sprinkling some salt on watermelons makes them taste sweeter. Walnut, would you like to try it?"

Then Fuzi demonstrated to Walnut, sprinkling a little salt on the watermelon, taking a bite, and showing a happy expression.

Seeing Fu-zai sprinkling salt on his watermelon and enjoying it so much, Walnut couldn't wait to hand over her own watermelon: "Fu-zai, sprinkle some on me too, Walnut wants to try it."

"Good walnuts."

Soon, Fuzi sprinkled salt on the watermelon with walnuts, then looked at walnuts expectantly: "Walnuts, try it and see if it tastes good."

Under Fu-zai's expectant gaze, Walnut took a bite of the watermelon and then exclaimed with delight, "Fu-zai, it's really sweeter this way!"

"Okay, let's go eat the walnuts over there, and we can play house too."

"Yes, Walnut will listen to Fuzi."

Leaving aside Walnut and Lucky Boy, the other mythical beasts each have their own way of eating watermelon. For example, Golden Horn and Silver Horn prefer to eat watermelon, while Silver Horn prefers to crack watermelon seeds.

Jinjiao, while eating a slice of watermelon, said, "My little brother helped me pick out all the seeds. It's so sweet!"

Meanwhile, Silver Horn approached the Demon King Squirrel who had arrived later: "Brother Squirrel, quickly help me hide the watermelon seeds!"

On the other side, Rabbit Lord, seeing Tianlu and Taotie eating so rudely, couldn't help but complain: "Hmph, what a rude fellow. Watermelon should be juiced to drink it elegantly."

Tianlu glanced at Rabbit Lord cutting the watermelon into pieces and juicing it, and said disdainfully, "With that kind of time, I could have eaten eight already!"

Taotie agreed, saying, "That's right, why bother with all that trouble?"

But the next moment, Taotie saw Tianlu eat the watermelon he had cut up in one bite, and angrily grabbed a watermelon next to him and threw it at Tianlu: "That watermelon is mine!"

The watermelon smashed into Tianlu's face. Tianlu was unhappy about being attacked for no reason, so he picked up the watermelon rind next to him and threw it at Taotie's face.

Seeing this, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, who were eating melon seeds and cracking watermelon seeds nearby, thought that Tianlu and Taotie were just joking around, so they joined in.

Silver Horn took a big bite of a watermelon seed, then was grabbed by his brother Golden Horn and held up like a machine gun: "Don't you dare bully my buddy."

chug chu...

Watermelon seeds shot out of Silver Horn's mouth like bullets towards Taotie. Taotie was immediately stunned by the attack from Gold Horn and Silver Horn: "Ouch, you two little rats are doomed."

The Qilin, seeing that Tianlu and Taotie weren't eating the watermelon properly, but instead throwing it at each other like a stone, instantly got angry.

The Qilin grabbed Tianlu and used it like a machine gun against Taotie: "How dare you ruin the watermelons I worked so hard to grow! You shall be punished, Taotie!"

"Hey? Wait, what a strange creature! I haven't even swallowed my melon yet!"

The next moment, the four-legged creature pulled on Tianlu's claws, as if a switch had been turned on, and Tianlu also shot watermelon seeds at Taotie like bullets.

Seeing this, the Treasure-Spitting Rat, who was truly just watching the show, kept cheering for Tianlu, who was standing to the side: "Go, Brother Pipi! Defeat that ugly monster!"

Faced with the attacks of the Qilin Tianlu and the Golden Horn and Silver Horn beasts, Taotie was immediately overwhelmed: "Two against one, you shameless bastards!!"

However, instead of listening to Taotie's babbling, a series of rapid, sputtering sounds rang out, accompanied by Taotie's howls: "War Tiger, brother, where are you? Come save me!!"

Meanwhile, Zhanhu, on whom Taotie had placed high hopes, had just finished his battle with Haochen.

Since it was just roughhousing, Hao Chen and Zhan Hu both controlled their strength, so apart from their hair being a little messy, they didn't have any injuries.

Hao Chen shrunk his body and said breathlessly, "Zhan Hu, you're really amazing."

Zhan Hu was also exhausted and lay on the ground panting, saying, "Same here."

Hao Chen had already taken the opportunity to playfully rub Zhan Hu's bell a few times during their fight, so his anger had naturally subsided. He looked at Zhan Hu and said, "Zhan Hu, I'll forgive you this time. Let's go out and eat watermelon."

"Hmph." Zhan Hu snorted coldly. He was naturally unhappy about being taken advantage of, but when he thought about Hao Chen's personality, he didn't care. He had been used to it for a long time.

Then Zhanhu got up. After making a fuss for so long, he was really thirsty and decided to go out and get some watermelon.

Just then, two halves of a watermelon suddenly flew in from outside and hit Hao Chen and Zhan Hu on the head.

"Who dares to attack this Pixiu? They have some nerve!"

Zhanhu was equally annoyed at being hit by a watermelon, and his anger was instantly ignited. He thought to himself: If I can't beat Haochen, can't I at least beat you guys?

Enraged, Zhan Hu grabbed Hao Chen by the back of his foot and lifted him up.

"Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing, Zhanhu? Put me down right now, did you hear me?"

Zhanhu carried Haochen out of the deer shop and immediately saw several beasts having a watermelon fight outside.

"Who just threw a watermelon at me? Come on, hit me, I'll wipe you out."

As he spoke, he picked up a whole watermelon and stuffed it directly into Haochen's mouth. Then he pinched Haochen's stomach, and instantly the watermelon in Haochen's mouth shot out like a cannonball, almost hitting the Qilin.

The four-legged creature was startled. Seeing the watermelon pulp scattered all over the ground, it immediately scolded Zhanhu for wasting his watermelon: "Zhanhu, you..."

Before the four-legged creature could finish speaking, Zhanhu stuffed another watermelon into Haochen's mouth and fired watermelon cannonballs at Taotie.

After two such incidents, Hao Chen finally realized what was happening and instantly broke free from Zhan Hu's grasp: "Zhan Hu, you almost ripped my mouth apart, do you know that?"

After Hao Chen finished speaking, he immediately ran to the spectator stands. His stomach and mouth were still hurting, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhan Hu.

Zhan Hu, whose competitive spirit had been aroused, had long since stopped thinking about anything else. Seeing that Hao Chen was no longer in his hands, he casually grabbed Rabbit Lord, who was not far away.

Rabbit Lord was shocked. Thinking of the Qilin, Taotie, and Zhan Hu's actions just now, he quickly shouted, "Hey, Zhan Hu, what are you trying to do? I don't have any eggs in my belly!"

However, Zhanhu didn't see that Rabbit was drinking watermelon juice just now, and thought that Rabbit could be a watermelon seed shooter like Tianlu and Yinjiao.

Unaware of this, Zhanhu squeezed Rabbit's stomach hard, and Rabbit immediately became a jetpack warrior, spitting out red watermelon juice.

Zhanhu: "..."

The scene was a little awkward for a moment, but Zhanhu quickly pretended nothing was wrong and put Rabbit down. Then he grabbed Taotie, who was still touching up his makeup: "Load, aim, fire."

The next moment, a watermelon-shaped projectile flew towards the Qilin, but instead of hitting it, it smashed the window of the deer-man shop behind it.

A symbol resembling "¥－" appeared in the eyes of the Qilin: "Zhanhu, you..."

boom--

Another shell flew past the four-legged creature and smashed through the door of the deer man's shop.

As Zhanhu unleashed its full firepower, watermelon-shaped cannonballs flew out of Taotie's mouth, covering the entire Deer Man Shop with their firepower.

The four creatures, Tianlu, Jinjiao, and Yinjiao, had to hide temporarily to avoid the indiscriminate watermelon cannonballs.

Soon, Zhanhu had wasted a pile of watermelons. When he noticed that the place that had been full of watermelons was now empty, he casually tossed down the Taotie, which was still smoking in its mouth, and clapped his paws: "That's enough for today. Rabbit Master, let's go."

Rabbit Lord looked at the Deer Man's shop in such a mess that he could hardly bear to look at it.

Meanwhile, the Qilin noticed that the War Tiger had stopped attacking. Looking up, it discovered that it had acquired a brand new battle-damaged skin from the Deer Man Shop.

"Zhanhu, where are you going?!"

At this moment, the Qilin's rage level was at its maximum, so it was no longer afraid of Zhanhu. It even dared to grab Zhanhu's tail and force Zhanhu to sign a high compensation contract.

Following Tianlu and Haochen, Zhanhu successfully became a working tiger at the Deer Man Shop.

The next task was naturally to clean the deer shop. The more fun they had at the beginning, the more tiring it was to clean now.

Just as the Qilin and the others were cleaning, Di Ting rushed from the underworld to the deer man's shop with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Fourth Boss, take a look at this. This was sent to me by the Master. He discovered the ferocious beast that escaped from the underworld last time."

As he spoke, Di Ting took out a printed portrait and handed it to the Qilin to look at.

Hao Chen started watching because it was related to him, but he was shocked by what he found.

The image clearly depicted an orange dragon with wings, its belly, tail tip, and feet all in cream color.

It has a pair of short, thick hind legs with three sharp claws on each foot. The front claws are relatively small and have three sharp claws.

The inner side of its wings is blue-green, and there are horn-like protrusions at the third joint of the wings. There are two horn-like protrusions on the back of its head, and the end of its long and thick tail is burning with flames.

With just one glance, Hao Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Old man???"
