My cubs are all vinegar

Nejito was holding the ball of dry grass that Harnifin had left for him before he left. The ball of grass emitted a soft beige light in the darkness, illuminating the faces of the group of people.

They all have a pair of slender pupils, extremely sharp teeth, and one of them has a face resembling a hyena.

Qingyan waved his hand, and the group of people stood up silently again.

Ryan, Nijiu, and Winters looked at the group of strange-looking people and took a step back in unison. Ryan almost stepped on an innocent spider passing behind him.

Qingyan explained: "They are my kin."

Nijiu has seen Qingyan's original appearance, but Ryan and Winters still don't know why.

The doubts in Ryan's heart are about to become concrete: "Your family??"

Qingyan took off his hood.A delicate light blue pattern gradually emerged on his forehead, spreading down his ears like a tattoo, crawling over his neck and reaching his arms.

His facial features have not changed, only the pupils have become slender, and a few scales have emerged from the temples.

Qingyan put on the hood again and resumed her human form.

Nijiu knew that he was a demon, so he was not too surprised.Ryan and Winters, who were standing aside, took a few steps back anxiously, doubting their lives.

Qingyan walked towards the group of monsters, pointed to one of them, and said, "Go and find the way, make sure we don't get out of the way."

The monster had thin downy hair on his face, she nodded, the feathers on her cheeks gradually grew, and hard feathers appeared on her arms.

She turned into a bird, waved her wings and soared into the air.

The Yaozu are animals and plants that have the ability to transform under the influence of spiritual energy. They were born on planets with abundant spiritual energy and can freely transform into their original forms.

At this moment, Qing Yan waved to the other demon clansmen.

They understood immediately, walked to Nijiu's side, and surrounded him.

Nijiu was a little panicked, and subconsciously wanted to escape from the encirclement: "Why did you suddenly surround me?"

When he retreated, he almost stepped into a spider's nest on the ground. A demon clan lit the fallen leaves near the spider's nest, and blocked the road before the spider crawled out.

"I sent them here," Qingyan said, "They will escort us to the second camp."

Heihu, who was lying in Nijiu's cloak, smelled the breath of the demon clan, and poked his head out of the cloak.Heihu didn't seem to have a good impression of Yaozu, and wrinkled his nose displeased.

He put his paw on Nijiu's face: "Aww."

After seeing the black tiger, those monster races suddenly changed their expressions and stared at him fearfully.Nijiu didn't notice their expressions, and put Heihu's head back: "We haven't reached the second camp yet, I'll let you out later."

There was a bird song from the sky, and the giant bird was urging them to move forward quickly.

Under the escort of the Yaozu, they arrived at the second camp safely, and Nijiu didn't step on the spider.

After arriving at the destination, Yaozu left as quietly as when it appeared.

The layout of the second camp is roughly similar to that of the first camp, but the terrain here is higher, it was not flooded by the rainstorm, and the various facilities are still very complete.

The first batch of students had just set off, and the rest of them stayed at the second camp, idly waiting for the next batch of rescue.

The next rescue arrives at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and they have a full day to spare.

After Nijiu and the others set up the tent, they placed a few simple folding chairs by the shade of the trees, and sat in the shade to avoid the scorching sun of the forest of spirit beasts.

Ryan sat on a folding chair, looking through the optical brain boredly, searching for recent news.

Ryan accidentally saw the announcement of an auction, which will be held on the planet where the Forest of Spiritual Beasts is located, and it will be this evening.Ryan became interested and clicked on the promotional page.

The main lot suddenly appeared on the promotional page.

It was a set of bright silver battle armor, about two meters high, and suitable for human body.

Ryan shouted excitedly: "It's that particularly famous set of legendary armor, so it hasn't been destroyed!"

Ryan handed the optical brain to Nijiu. He pointed to the promotion of the auction and said, "Brother Ni, let's go and have a look? I don't want to participate in the auction, just to open my eyes - the venue is on this planet, so I can just pass time!"

Nijiu, who was also doing nothing, nodded.

"Okay, you go and ask the others if they want to go with us."

Qing Yan heard their conversation and moved towards them.Qingyan was originally frowning in disapproval, but when he saw the main lot, he changed his mind.

Qingyan said, "Count me in."

Ryan posted the promotional page of the auction to the group and asked: [Anyone want to go?There are already three of them, and Teacher Qingyan has also passed by. ]

The other students were also bored at this time, but after reading yesterday's news, their attitudes towards Nijiu, Ryan and Winters became a little strange, and they especially didn't want to have anything to do with Nijiu.

The group, which was very lively just now, suddenly cooled down, and everyone else was silent, only Winters replied.

Winters: [I want to take a break, so I won't go. ]

Ryan waited for about 10 minutes, still no other reply.

Ryan hadn't realized that they were excluded, so he was a little helpless: "Hey, everyone seems to be still sleeping, there are only three of us."

In the evening of the same day, after checking the venue, they set off for the auction.

The auction does not allow spirit beasts to enter, so Nijiu leaves the little tiger in the second camp.Heihu had been following Nijiu every step of the way before, and after parting with Nijiu, he walked around the tent uneasily.

It takes at least an hour to walk from here to the auction site.But not long after they were on the road, the group of monsters reappeared.

A monster turned back into his real body, turning into a huge bald eagle.He lay down on the ground and let Qingyan and others step on his broad back.After they all walked up, he waved his wings and flew to the auction site.

Nijito sat on the back of the bald eagle, holding the feathers of the bald eagle, with a straight face, trying to avoid looking at the ground.

In less than 10 minutes, they arrived at the venue for the auction.

Nijiu jumped off the back of the bald eagle, as if he was alive after a catastrophe.

Ryan next to him also let out a long sigh of relief: "It's finally here, that bird flies so fast, I thought we would be thrown out."

The location of the auction is located in an abandoned temple.

At the entrance of the temple, there are a large number of security personnel equipped with laser guns patrolling around.They were fully armed and searched everyone who passed the door, and the inspection procedures were meticulous.

Nijito watched this scene and realized that this auction might be as illegal as the black market auction.Therefore, it can only be held in remote places like the Forest of Spiritual Beasts.

Nijiu and the others were still wearing elves' cloaks, Qing Yan pulled up the hoods of Ryan and Nijiu to block their faces.

He said: "After you go in, try not to talk, so that they don't recognize you as human beings."

Ryan said in a daze: "Why?"

"Go in and explain to you." Qing Yan pulled off his hood, "I'm going to change back to my original appearance. If all my companions are human, it's easy to be regarded as prey."

As Qingyan spoke, she regained her monster clan appearance.

Under the dazzling projection lamp, Qingyan's hair showed a dark green luster, and a layer of thin blue scales around her ear reflected a dazzling luster under the light.

When the security personnel in charge of the body search saw Qingyan, they didn't search them, and put Mijiu and the other three inside.

They went into the temple.

After being decorated by the organizer, it has taken on a completely new look. It is completely impossible to see that this was a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned for thousands of years.

The temple has two floors. The first floor is for scattered seats, and anyone can come in and out freely, and there is a lot of people; the second floor is for private rooms, protected by a large number of guards, and only guests who have received invitations are allowed to go upstairs.

A waiter came up to him in a few steps. He looked like a strange octopus with eight eyes.

He looked Nijiu and Ryan, who were the leaders, up and down, with no change in expression, and asked in an unfamiliar human language: "This way please, do you have an invitation letter?"

Nijiu shook his head, he corrected what the waiter said, and pointed to Qingyan who was walking behind.

"It's three, and that person is also with us."

The waiter followed Nijiu's gaze to look at Qingyan, and his expression changed immediately.He opened his mouth awkwardly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Mijiu turned around suspiciously, and glanced at Qingyan.

"What's the matter, why did you suddenly show this expression?"

The waiter turned his face and squeezed out a warm smile. He walked past Mijiu, trotted all the way, and came to Qingyan: "Are you here too?"

The waiter called a waiter over, and hurriedly ordered: "Send these three guests to the box upstairs."

The waiter asked in a low voice, "Do these three guests have invitation letters?"

The waiter glared at her: "Hurry up and lead the way, why are there so many nonsense?! Hurry up, don't delay!"

The waiter was startled by him, and immediately took Nijiu and the others to the second floor: "Follow me, three."

Nijiu squeezed to Qingyan's side, and patted his arm lightly: "Do you know him?"

"Speak softer." Qing Yan made a "shh" gesture, "I don't know him, he should have seen me somewhere else."

The waiter led them briskly to the box on the second floor: "Please."

The structure here is similar to a theater box, with a semi-open style and a good view, and you can have a panoramic view of the first floor.The auction hadn't started yet, and a thick red flannelette hung from the ceiling, completely covering the auction stage.

From the position of their box, they can just see the stairs here.

They arrived early, and the auction was still half an hour away.Nijito and Ryan had nothing to do, just sat by the terrace staring at the stairs, watching other guests entering the auction.

He saw various races here, including several humans.When humans appeared here, other races quickly cast their eyes on them, as if they were looking at some novel species.

Ryan also noticed those humans: "I didn't expect that there would be other people here besides us."

Nijiu said: "It should be an interstellar businessman."

After those people came in, they looked around timidly, extremely afraid of the surrounding aliens.

At this time, several tall and burly alien races also passed through the security check, and they surrounded them like they were their bodyguards.

With the presence of bodyguards, those people were finally relieved.They handed the invitation to the waiter and headed for the stairs.

When they were walking up the stairs, a person suddenly stopped, pointed at Nijiu, and said something.Several other humans also raised their heads and looked in Nijiu's direction.

Nijiu looked at their mouth shapes, and vaguely recognized the scattered words such as "elf" and "it was him".

"It's over, brother," Ryan gasped, "You were recognized."

"Ruian, come back quickly, don't sit by the terrace." Mijiu stood up and moved the chair to Qingyan's side, avoiding their sight.

Qingyan was typing on the optical brain, and after Nijiu sat beside him, Qingyan quickly shut down the optical brain somewhat unnaturally.

Nijiu didn't notice Qingyan's movements, he looked at the scales next to Qingyan's ears, curious: "Teacher, what is your body?"

"Snake." Qingyan put away the optical brain, "I am a cold-blooded animal, and my body temperature is much lower than yours."

As Qingyan said, she put her hand on Nijiu's.His palms were extremely cold, almost making people feel chills all over.

Qingyan smiled: "That's right, the temperature is a bit scary."

While they were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Those interstellar merchants walked into the box, and under the dim light, they saw Nijiu's face clearly: "It's really him!"
