Transmigrating into a book and receiving a system, cannon fodder rises to power by stepping on schem

As Chen An walked towards the room, a strange sound came from inside.

She stopped in her tracks, and just as she placed her hand on the door, the noise ceased. Inside were Flying Crocodile and Fugui, so Chen An wasn't worried about anyone coming looking for them.

Pushing open the door, Chen An found Flying Fish Crocodile, his face bruised and swollen from being beaten by Fu Gui, hiding under the bed. Seeing the unfamiliar fabric peeking out from under Fu Gui's stomach, Chen An chuckled almost imperceptibly.

Approaching, Chen An raised both hands slightly toward the flustered Fu Gui. The large cat's body was curled up, and the green brocade pouch between its four paws was particularly noticeable.

Chen An didn't expose it, but held up Fu Gui and shook it for a while before the green brocade pouch fell to the wooden floor with a thud.

"Meow!" Fugui shouted at the flying fish crocodile, wanting it to take the things for him.

The flying crocodile, having been beaten up, was not going to help; it twisted its rear and hid further back.

Chen An picked up the brocade pouch with one hand. The scent on it was very familiar; it belonged to the people who had been beaten up this morning. He didn't mind that Fu Gui took these people's things, since they were the ones who started the trouble first. It was just strange that Fu Gui, as a cat, wanted these things.

Fu Gui looked at the things that Chen An had taken away, and meowed loudly with his pupils dilated. But Chen An wasn't having any of it. He pressed Fu Gui's head down, naturally wanting to take these things for himself.

With a loud bang, the flying fish crocodile flipped the entire bed over.

"What are you doing!" Chen An shouted, startled by the inexplicable behavior of the flying fish crocodile. Before he could scold it, his attention was drawn to two other storage bags that had been torn open under the bed. These two were undoubtedly belonging to the people who had been beaten up earlier.

"My dear Fugui, where are the things inside?" Chen An walked over with a grin, wanting to pick up Fugui, who was staring at the flying crocodile with a resentful look. Fugui lightly jumped away from Chen An's hands.

The flying crocodile let out two whimpers. During this time, it had already taken more than a dozen blows from Fugui, but the creature was thick-skinned and didn't even leave a scratch on its body.

The disappearing items, along with the gnawing sounds Chen An heard outside, made her instinctively reach for her storage bag.

"Fu Gui! Where are my spirit stones and Xuan Tie sword?!"

With the ebony sword, Chen An no longer needed the black iron sword. However, spirit stones, being essential for cultivation, were plentiful a few days ago. But after not checking for several days, they had all been squandered by Fu Gui, which was absolutely unacceptable.

After all that fuss, when the moon was high in the sky, Chen An finally caught the defiant Fu Gui. "You still dare to be defiant? Spit it out!"

Fu Gui's tail swayed from side to side, but he showed no remorse whatsoever, acting like a big shot. Chen An was helpless. "Alright, alright, Mr. Cat, you like to eat spirit stones, right? From now on, you'll never be as good as the Flying Fish Crocodile here."

"Meow."

Chen An released the defiant Fu Gui, suppressed all his resentment, lay down on the bed, carefully checked his belongings, and suddenly sat up. He hadn't even noticed that Fu Gui had eaten the array stone, but after searching around, there was no trace of Fu Gui.

The Flying Crocodile, looking smug, tried to climb onto Chen An's bed, but Chen An kicked its head off as it was about to get on. If the crocodile were to actually get on the bed, it would definitely collapse.

"Did you see where Fugui went?"

Flying Crocodile shook her head. Thinking that Fu Gui usually liked to go out and play alone, Chen An lay down, but the intense palpitations still forced her to get out of bed.

"Come on, take me to find Fugui."

The flying crocodile buried its head, looking aggrieved as if to say, "You just said I'm more important than Fugui."

Chen An squatted down and gently comforted him, "Alright, if you went out, I would definitely be worried too. Even though Fu Gui always bullies you, he will definitely help me find you, right?"

The Flying Crocodile slowly raised its head, stared at Chen An with wide eyes for a while, and then dragged its heavy body outside.

Chen An sat on the back of the Flying Fish Crocodile. Before they could decide where to go, the Flying Fish Crocodile set off towards Beast Peak.

Along the way, Fu Gui's aura grew stronger and stronger, and Chen An finally felt completely at ease, letting the Flying Crocodile lead him.

The Flying Crocodile strayed further and further off course, soon leaving the territory of the Zhaoning Sect. The danger here was far greater than that of the Beast Peak. Without the protection of the sect's elders, it was not uncommon for cultivators to be eaten if they encountered spirit beasts with higher cultivation levels.

Chen An didn't want anything to happen to him, but his previous words had clearly had a great effect on the flying fish crocodile, which was getting faster and faster.

Soon, they arrived at a rocky mountain. The creatures living there exuded a powerful aura, and no small spirit beasts dared to challenge their territory.

With a loud bang, the only pine tree on the rocky mountain was snapped in two. Flying Crocodile and Chen An tacitly assumed an attack stance and began to fall.

Upon seeing the scene halfway up the mountain, Chen An's heart tightened. Although Fu Gui, who was about the size of a tiger cub, was not injured, his exhaustion was obvious, indicating that he had been beaten.

Facing Fugui was a huge ape that raised the pine tree that had just been broken and slammed it down on Fugui's body.

Chen An gripped the ebony sword tightly, and the flying fish crocodile beneath him suddenly charged out, using its massive head to block the ape's attack. Just as the ape was surprised, Fu Gui's figure flashed past Chen An's eyes, and the ape's head fell to the ground.

The monkey's blood was very smelly, and Chen An had to pinch his nose to stop himself from vomiting.

Watching the head roll down the mountainside, Chen An lifted the banana leaves blocking the cave entrance. Inside lay the body of a baby ape, barely a month old. Its heart had been cut open, and the shape of a cat's paw was clearly visible.

Seeing this scene, Chen An felt a little uneasy. When he wiped the bloodstains from his hair, a red light shone on his body.

She turned her head slightly, and Fugui waved his cat paw, cleaning the bloodstains off Chen An's body.

On the way back, Fugui lay on the back of the flying crocodile. Niu Tou wouldn't look at Chen An, so Chen An forcibly pulled him over, pinched its furry head, and instructed, "Even if you're angry in the future, you're not allowed to go to such dangerous places, understand?"

Fu Gui nodded and pushed something the size of a grape in front of Chen An.

The metallic-looking dumpling flashed red. Seeing that Chen An didn't react, Fu Gui put his paw to his mouth and chewed it incessantly, indicating that she should eat it.

Seeing Fu Gui's serious expression, Chen An held his breath and stuffed the food in front of him into his mouth.

Chen An was puzzled by Fu Gui's shocked expression, as there was no change in his body.

The flying crocodile sensed something was wrong on its back and charged towards the mountain in front of it, stumbling and falling down the mountain.

Chen An patted the dirt off her body and stood up straight, but was so shocked by the soul-stirring pain that she knelt down. Her expression was extremely ferocious as she clutched her abdomen tightly with her hands, and blood began to flow from her seven orifices.

Flying Crocodile glared angrily at Fu Gui, the culprit, but Fu Gui was not in a hurry at all. He skillfully took the storage bag from Chen An's waist, who was rolling on the ground in pain, and took out a pill from it.

With the help of Fu Gui and Flying Fish Crocodile, Chen An was fed the pill, and within seconds, most of his pain was relieved.

Chen An wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed weakly.
