The orc army was repelled and the immigrant town gained safety.
But this is only temporary safety.
Allen was not carried away by the victory.
He knew in his heart that the biggest contributor to defeating the orcs was not himself, but the powerful reinforcements sent by the Silver Moon Monastery.
The security provided by the monastery is not free.
As immigrants gain a foothold, businesses flourish, and towns prosper, the protection fees collected by monasteries will also rise.
Allen didn't want to always rely on others for security.
I don't want to work for Silver Moon Monastery for the rest of my life.
What's more, the Silver Moon Monastery may not be able to stand forever.
Don't forget, there is also the Beast Cult on Red Moon Island.
What if the Silver Moon Monastery loses the fight against the Beast Cult?
What should we do if we don’t have the spare resources to take responsibility for the safety of New Quint Town?
This situation once happened on Quinte Island.
If the Warlock College was not so overwhelmed and unable to stop the Beast Cult from invading Quint Island, why would it lead the folks to flee to Silvermoon Island?
Who can guarantee that the same disaster will not happen on Silver Moon Island in the future?
When that day comes, who can I rely on?
If you rely on the mountain, it will fall. In order to survive, you must be self-reliant.
A belief gradually took shape in Allen's mind: the strength of the New Quint Territory must be strengthened as soon as possible.
The total number of young people in the town is no more than a thousand.
Ms. Sora had already conducted a bloodline aptitude survey, and there were only a handful of people with good qualifications.
Building a team according to the traditional way of training warlocks is too inefficient and Alan can't wait.
Are there any other quick ways?
Actually, yes.
Alan has collected many kinds of beast viruses, including the evil rat-man virus and bat-man virus.
However, there are also types whose personalities are not obviously distorted.
For example, the leopard man virus taken from himself and his sister, and the cat man virus and bee man virus obtained from his junior sister An Qi.
Brother Bear, Brother Pig and Sister Lion also provided him with the beast transformation virus of bear man, pig man and lion man.
If these milder viruses are injected into teenagers who volunteer to be vaccinated, beastmen can be produced in large quantities!
The probability of a beastman awakening into a beast warlock is extremely high!
Even if he cannot become a true warlock, his background as a beastman, especially his ability to transform, makes his combat effectiveness much stronger than that of ordinary militiamen!
Alan has no shortage of experience in training beastmen, and Kelly is a successful example.
He named this plan "Beastialization Project".
Repelling the orcs and gaining temporary safety for the territory, it seems to be a good opportunity to use this precious breathing time to implement the "beast transformation project".
However, there is still a technical problem that has not been solved.
Even the most gentle bear-type beastman would find it difficult to control his urge to go crazy on a full-moon night.
The perfect solution to this problem is meditation.
Alan has mastered the complete set of level 1 to 3 calming meditation methods.
He can directly instill it into others through group meditation.
The problem is that group meditation itself is a secret that cannot be easily told.
Alan could share this secret with his sister, teacher Sora, and junior sister, but he didn't dare to make it public.
If he applied this method widely on small town teenagers who were inoculated with the beast virus.
How can I explain to the Silver Moon Monastery that I can mass-produce beastmen that will not go crazy?
Even if we make up a barely convincing excuse, can we guarantee that the person involved will not leak the secret?
After all, people's hearts are hidden.
Outsiders may not be as reliable as my sister!
This kind of operation is too risky!
Alan sighed to himself.
It’s not that group meditation can’t be used, but it must be disguised!
It's like laundering "black money".
"Calming and meditation drug" is the best disguise.
There are two places where he can get the knowledge he wants, the Beast Cult, or... the Silver Moon Monastery!
Allen has been thinking about whether it is possible for him to bring his disciple with him to the Silver Moon Monastery to learn how to make the "calming and meditation agent"?
With the identity of "Silver Moon Disciple" as a cover, all problems will be solved!
In the evening, Alan received good news.
All the women abducted by the charlatan Charles have been rescued by Sister Lion.
"Third sister, thank you for your hard work!"
Alan thanked Maria in person.
As soon as I got closer, I smelled a familiar scent from her.
Alan hesitated for a moment and asked Maria tentatively:
"Third sister, when you destroyed the Beast Cult's den, did you find the cult's church?"
Maria nodded.
"So, did you take the idols that the cultists worship?"
"Oh, is this what you are talking about?"
Maria opened her storage bag and took out a bone-carved statue.
Alan suppressed his excitement and took it as if nothing had happened.
This is a statue of Charon.
The "God of Death" worshipped by the bat people also has a human body and a bat head, with a pair of pitch-black bat wings folded behind him.
Alan held up the statue in his right hand and pretended to examine it carefully.
A bone spur quietly popped out from the palm of his left hand, pierced into the ear hole of the Charon statue, and directly extracted the dried bone marrow powder.
Didi——
"Eat special ingredients: bone marrow infused with divine power!"
"Potential +3!"
"Spirit +1!"
Current attributes: physique 28, agility 24, spirit 33
Potential reserve: 12 points
After receiving the system prompt, Allen took back the bone spur and returned the statue to Maria.
"Third sister, what are you going to do with this evil statue?"
"According to custom, it will be handed over to the monastery for the master to deal with." Maria stuffed the Charon statue back into the storage bag. "Alan, do you still remember the cult leader named Charles?"
"Of course I remember. How strong is this person?" Alan asked casually.
"He is at the third stage of cultivation, and his skills are all in his mouth. He is good at charm magic, but in a real fight, he is no better than the pirate captain Crabbe!" Maria showed disdain, "This statue of Charon was searched from his corpse!"
"Third sister, you single-handedly destroyed the cult's stronghold and seized the evil statue. You have made great contributions to the Silver Moon Monastery. Your promotion to the elder of the Cat Monastery is just around the corner!"
Alan smiled and flattered Sister Lion, laying the groundwork for asking for a favor.
"I know how much I am capable of, so don't try to fool me!" Maria sneered, stared at him and asked, "You are so sweet, do you have something to ask me?"
"Third sister is really smart, she guessed it right!" Allen approached Sister Lion and lowered his voice, "Actually, I want to use your back door to help me--"
Before he could finish his words, Maria's face turned red with embarrassment.
"Brother, you are so bad! I haven't tried it yet...be gentle."
Alan wanted to explain that he meant to use connections to get in through the back door, not what she thought.
But then I thought...what's the point of explaining?
It's rare that Sister Lion is so obedient, so I'll just go with it and talk about it later!
After a lot of wild fun, Alan picked up the gloriously wounded Lion Sister and took a bath together.
"Brother, now that you've had your fill, it's time to get down to business, right?" Maria moaned weakly.
"Third sister, I heard that the monastery will recruit new people on July 15th. I want to ask if people like me who come from an academy and bring their skills to the apprentice will be accepted?" Alan asked while helping Sister Lion rub her back.
"Yes, but they are generally not taken seriously."
Sister Lion enjoyed his gentle service, squinted her eyes and sighed.
"After all, a person who has brought his skills with him to a master is not one of the monks who have been trained since childhood. He can only stay in the inner courtyard at most, and it is unlikely that he will become a direct disciple of the elders or the head monk."
This was just as Alan had imagined.
"Third sister, I want to learn the technique of making a tranquilizing meditation potion. Which branch should I apply to so that I have a better chance of obtaining the inheritance?"
Maria turned to look at him with surprise on her face.
"Silver Moon Monastery is most famous for its martial arts, but you are more interested in refining medicine. What's the reason?"
"I also want to learn martial arts, but what I need more right now is a calming meditation drug."
Alan whispered his plan.
"I want to open a martial arts school in New Quint Town and recruit teenagers with decent qualifications in the town to learn martial arts and keep fit."
"I have learned some martial arts awakening potions, but now I am still lacking the meditation method."
"Oh, yes. You are of the bloodline of the Demon Leopard Man. You are also a beastman. It will be very beneficial for you to study in the monastery."
Maria thought for a moment and said slowly:
"I'll write you a letter of recommendation and you can apply to the cat academy."
"The head of the Cat Court, Ms. 'White Tiger Martial Master' Shiva, is my master."
"As a direct disciple, I still have some weight in the eyes of the master."
"As long as you can get into the Cat Academy and perform well, with my help, it will be easy to get the master's approval."
"By then, I can find an opportunity to beg Master to teach me the secret method of preparing a calming meditation drug. It shouldn't be difficult."
"Thank you, Third Sister!" Alan breathed a sigh of relief that things went so smoothly.
"Just verbal thanks? That's insincere!" Maria rolled her eyes at him in reproach.
"How about giving you a 20% discount from now on?"
"Only 20% off..."
"Then... 30% off!" Allen said helplessly, "This is the limit, the lowest price ever."
"That's better!" Maria's expression softened. "By the way, you've almost drained all my private savings. You'll have to give me credit from now on!"
"Okay..." Allen smiled bitterly, "You are my sister after all!"
Maria finally smiled brightly.
She vaguely realized that Allen cared about the accounting rather than whether she actually paid back the money.
Even if she is penniless and cannot afford the money, he will not refuse her request for sex.
Maria optimistically believes...this is love!
It’s just that my little brother is shy and stubborn.
So, she thought she might as well be more proactive.
"You bad guy! Don't think you can defeat me so easily. I'll fight you for another 300 rounds tonight!"
Sister Lion pounced on Allen, her pretty face flushed, and she gnashed her teeth and said fiercely:
"I just don't believe that I can't squeeze you dry!"
Extra: From the New World
Meditation world.
The leopard-man ancestor spirit that Allen merged with this time lived in ancient times.
At that time, the gods still existed.
Queen Victoria, who was blessed by God, celebrated her 32nd birthday at the same time as the World Expo was held in the capital of the empire.
The Queen's loyal servant, the colonial governor, was ordered to collect exhibits that would represent the exotic customs of the New World.
After a lot of hard work and a lot of money, the Governor completed the commission of Her Majesty the Queen.
The rare animals and indigenous people captured from the New World were shipped to the royal capital to be exhibited at the World Expo.
The ancestor spirit that Allen merged with, the young Black Panther, originally lived on the vast grasslands of the New World.
Unfortunately, he fell into the hands of the slave hunting team appointed by the governor, was tied up, stuffed into an iron cage, and loaded onto a slave ship.
It sailed across the ocean and was delivered to the capital of the empire.
Became an exhibit at the World Expo.
It took Alan a lot of energy to trace back the life experiences of his ancestors over the past decade.
He didn't bother to pay attention to the tourists who were pointing at him and just curled up in the iron cage and dozed off.
I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly heard a crunching sound of something biting.
Alan was awakened by the noise. He turned over and sat up, wagged his tail, and yawned loudly.
The noise comes from beside me.
An adjacent cage contained another exhibit from the New World.
A real bunny-ear girl!
He is less than one meter tall.
The upper body looks like a little loli with a pair of rabbit ears.
A floral handkerchief was wrapped around her chest to cover a pair of steamed buns.
From the waist down, it resembles a large black rabbit.
When walking, it supports its body with its two hind legs and jumps around.
The little girl with bunny ears belongs to the fairy tribe.
In the New World, they are called "Puka spirits", or you can just call them "Puka".
Puka, the rabbit-eared girl, was holding a carrot in her hand and chewing it with a delicious crunch.
A pair of red eyes rolled around, revealing a quirky look.
Alan picked his ears and stared at her with an unhappy look on his face.
“Hehehe…”
Puka, the bunny-eared girl, is totally unaware that she is an annoying little goblin.
He grinned at Alan, revealing a pair of big buck teeth!
"Hey, big guy! Are you awake?"
Alan shook his head, looking unhappy.
In fact, he didn't want to wake up.
It was all because of the rabbit-eared girl chewing the carrot, the sound was so crisp that it woke him up.
"Big guy! I have carrots, do you want some?"
Alan shook his head.
Big cats are not vegetarians.
"Big guy! Do you have any relatives at home?"
“…”
Alan was too lazy to shake his head.
The bunny-eared girl is a little chatterbox who never stops nagging.
Alan was tired of listening to her nagging, so he turned his back to her and pretended to take a nap.
Puka still refused to let him go and stretched his arms out from the iron bars, trying to grab his tail.
"Big guy! Big lazy cat!"
"Don't sleep!"
"Hurry up and chat with me!"
"Big kitty! From now on I'll call you 'Mimi', okay?"
"You keep silent, does that mean you are happy?"
Alan couldn't bear it any longer, he turned around suddenly, and glared at the bunny-eared girl fiercely with his emerald green eyes.
"If you call me 'Mimi' again, I will kill you!!"
“…Mimi! Mimi mimi mimi!!”
Instead, the bunny-eared girl was stimulated by his threat and became even more excited.
While laughing and teasing him, he also made faces at him and spit.
Anyway, the big cat can't bite her because of the iron fence, so she can play pranks to her heart's content.
The saliva mixed with carrot crumbs was spat onto Alan's fur, which was as smooth as black satin.
This really annoyed him and he spat at the bunny-eared girl.
The black panther man and the bunny-eared girl were spitting at each other through the iron cage, alarming the tourists nearby.
A noble lady who came to visit the Colonial Customs Museum happened to pass by. She was wearing a whalebone puffy skirt that almost broke her waist and holding a white peacock feather folding fan in her hand.
Seeing the Black Panther Man and the Bunny-Eared Girl spitting at each other in the cage, he quickly opened his folding fan, covered his mouth, and exclaimed in a serious manner.
"Holy Mother! Look at this barbarous act!"
The fat gentleman who accompanied the lady on the tour felt the same way.
"My lady, the air in the New World is polluted and the water and soil are poisonous, which is why these uncivilized freaks were born!"
When Puka heard this, he became unhappy. He turned around and jumped to the iron cage, baring his teeth at the lady and the gentleman.
"You are the freaks!"
"You are the poisonous ones!"
"It's you who brought the dirty stuff to the New World!"
The lady and the fat gentleman didn't expect that this little goblin could speak human language, and their faces changed.
When the security captain heard the quarrel, he ran over and apologized to the lady and the fat gentleman with a smile.
When the two distinguished guests left with unhappy faces, the security captain immediately frowned, swung the whip, and beat Puka who caused the trouble.
Allen was deemed an accomplice and received many beatings.
Allen has a "bones of steel" to protect his body, so he can be hit as he pleases and is too lazy to dodge.
The bunny-eared girl wasn't as strong as him. She screamed and jumped around the cage to avoid the beating from the security captain.
The security captain lost his temper, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and threatened the two men fiercely: "If you dare to make trouble again, I will boil you both together!"
Puka rubbed the whip marks on his body, looking worried.
After the security captain walked away, he used magic to heal his whip wounds himself.
1st level "Healing" is one of the few spells that the Pukka is good at.
The magic power turned into a soft halo and flowed throughout the body.
The scars on the bunny-eared girl's body quickly disappeared.
Puka jumped in front of the fence, cast a spell at Alan through the cage, and took the initiative to heal his wounds.
Alan was not hurt at all, but he was still a little touched and said thank you casually.
"There's no need to be so formal between friends!" Puka said cheerfully.
"If you weren't so naughty and noisy, I wouldn't mind making more friends." Alan said to her seriously.
Puka shook his rabbit ears and smiled widely.
"Friends should tolerate each other!"
It seems that there is no remorse...
Alan sighed and had to give up trying to persuade her to be a quiet and beautiful girl.
…
The next day, the Folk Museum sent another exhibit.
A dwarf man named "Thomas" is said to be the murderer of the "Notre Dame Cathedral Bell Tower Murder Case".
This person also has a more well-known nickname - The Hunchback of Notre Dame!
Thomas was a short, hunchbacked dwarf.
The skin is covered with dark spots and secretes a slippery mucus.
The hair on my head is sparse.
His face is full of wrinkles and he looks like a wretched old man.
In fact, he is only 17 years old.
It is said that Thomas was an abandoned baby born with deformities. He grew up in an orphanage and his name was given to him by the director.
Thomas was born with a special physique, his limbs are as soft as rubber and can be twisted at will.
Fingers can be stretched to one meter long!
The orphans were all very afraid of this monster, and this was exactly what the workhouse director wanted!
The dean simply kept Thomas in the cellar to punish disobedient children.
Anyone who dares to make trouble will be thrown into the cellar and taught a lesson by Thomas.
In this way, Thomas lived in the cellar for more than ten years and knew almost nothing about the outside world.
Long-term dark environment has distorted his personality and made him extremely afraid of light.
Two years ago, Thomas went crazy for no apparent reason and accidentally killed a boy who was locked in a cellar.
He was afraid that the truth would be exposed and he would be punished, so he simply killed the dean as well.
They searched the dean's body for the key, opened the cellar door, and escaped from the workhouse.
After wandering the streets for a few days, Thomas regretted it.
The world outside is too bright and too noisy.
The busy streets are more terrifying than hell in his eyes!
Thomas desperately wanted to find a safe and dark corner to hide in, like the cellar where he used to live.
He finally found the ideal place to live, the attic of the clock tower.
He used the dark and narrow bell tower as his lair. He hid in the bell tower for a long time without being discovered, and survived by eating rats.
Over time, Thomas also memorized the pattern of ringing the clock.
However, the good times did not last long.
The old man who was ringing the clock discovered Thomas hiding in the attic and threatened to arrest him and hang him.
Thomas rushed forward in anger, strangled the clock ringer to death, and ate all his flesh.
The remaining bones were hidden in the toolbox.
From that day on, Thomas pretended to be the bell ringer and rang the bell on time.
He did this for a whole year without being discovered.
Until last winter, the crown prince contracted smallpox and unfortunately died.
The whole country observes a day of silence and bells are not allowed to be rung.
Thomas in the bell tower knew nothing about this royal funeral that shocked the whole country.
He still followed the previous rules and rang the bell on time, but he was exposed and was soon arrested.
Given that he was a freak and his peculiar cartilage structure was somewhat of a gimmick, the police did not hang him directly but sold him to a circus.
So, Thomas was put in a cage and exhibited everywhere, and he was surprisingly popular!
The World Expo is the next stop of Thomas's exhibition tour.
…
Alan and Puka, observing Thomas in the cage next door.
It was discovered that this person's body was twisted like a snake, and his hands and feet could stretch and retract.
Alan just wanted to see something new and satisfy his curiosity, so he lost interest in Thomas.
He continued to doze off to gather his strength, planning to find an opportunity at night to pry open the iron cage and sneak away.
It was not difficult for Allen to escape from the cage and regain his freedom.
However, the ancestor's obsession does not stop there, he also wants to take the naughty bunny-eared girl Puka away.
Take Puka with you to escape the pursuit, return to the mountains and forests, and live together - this is the obsession that the Black Panther ancestor spirit failed to realize during his lifetime.
Allen didn't find it difficult.
Theoretically speaking, if Puka doesn't commit suicide, he won't die.
However, in real history, Puka died... leaving an indelible psychological trauma to the leopard man's ancestor.
What does this indicate?
It is even harder to make the naughty bunny-eared girl behave herself and not commit suicide than to kill her!
This is a bit troublesome.
Alan feels that he can't be too polite or too gentle to a little clingy girl like Puka, otherwise she will take advantage of him!
So, he deliberately put on a cold and stern face and ignored Puka.
Puka didn't care about his coldness at all.
Alan ignored her, but she was unwilling to be lonely.
Instead, he went to talk to Thomas and gave him some advice.
"Hey! Thomas, you look like a slug!"
"Don't glare at me, my friend! I don't mean to insult you!"
"I mean, your body is as soft and slippery as a slug!"
"I think you can get through the cracks in the fence!"
"What are you going out for?"
"Of course, try to steal the key, open the door and escape!"
"Why do you look so horrified?"
"Thomas, don't you want to escape from the cage and seek freedom?"
Puka felt that his suggestion was very pertinent and was made out of kindness and consideration for Thomas.
In her opinion, no one likes to be exhibited in a cage.
But she was wrong.
Her kindness was rejected by Thomas.
Far from being grateful, Thomas hated her for it!
He seemed to think she had bad intentions and was trying to ruin his life.
Thomas didn't want to pursue the so-called "freedom" at all, nor did he think there was anything wrong with being locked in a cage for exhibition.
In fact, rather than wandering the streets in fear, Thomas would rather stay in the iron cage, where he is safe and has someone to feed and drink him.
The only downside is that it is visited by tourists.
Thomas didn't like being exposed to the spotlight, and he hated being stared at and judged even less.
But for the sake of safety and food, he was willing to accept it.
Puka had to give up communicating with Thomas and come back to find Allen.
"Thomas is so boring!" said the bunny-eared girl angrily, "Big guy! Even though you are a lazy cat, I still prefer chatting with you!"
Alan rolled his eyes at her and continued to doze off.
Alan suddenly woke up late at night.
A girl's scream came to my ears!
Alan jumped up and ran quickly to the iron cage.
In the iron cage next door, Puka was screaming and struggling!
A slippery hand like a leech was groping her body.
The owner of the claw was Thomas in another iron cage.
His eyes flickered with a dim light in the darkness.
Cruel and hungry eyes.
One of his arms was like a slippery slug.
He squeezed through the gap in the fence, stretched two meters long, and tried to catch Puka.
Puka struggled hard and screamed in fear!
Alan frowned and flicked his fingers.
call out!
A "finger wave" whizzed through the fence and hit Thomas's long cartilage arm!
Thomas screamed and let go in a hurry.
Swish!
The arms quickly retracted, like an octopus retracting its tentacles.
There was a streak of shiny mucus on the floor, emitting a slight fishy smell.
The noise of the fight alarmed the security guard, who ran over with a whip and beat all three of them.
Thomas' cage was soon moved to another exhibition hall and stored separately to prevent him from causing trouble.
"Hi! Friend, thank you for saving me!" Puka was still in shock. He took off his floral handkerchief to wipe the blood from his neck.
Alan waved his hand, it was just a small matter, not worth mentioning.
The leopard man's eyes flashed green light in the darkness.
Allen's natural night vision ability allows him to see the bunny-eared girl taking off her tube top in the darkness opposite him.
Allen had to admit that he had underestimated her by calling her a "xiaolongbao" before.
At least it’s a big meat bun!
If her height were doubled in proportion, her breasts would be quite exaggerated, at least an F cup!
Puka seemed to be aware of his gaze and quickly wrapped the handkerchief around her chest and tied a bow.
"Big guy! Let's run away!"
Puka looked serious and plotted loudly.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, tonight!" Puka seemed confident.
"It looks like you've already planned it."
"That's right! You wait here, I'm going to steal the key!"
"The key is with the security guard. Can you beat him?"
"Hehe! No need to fight head-on, my friend!" The bunny-eared girl smiled cunningly, "I plan to outsmart you! Outsmart me, understand?"
Alan doubted her wisdom, but didn't mind letting her try.
Even if Puka messes up, it doesn’t matter, he can cover it.
"Big guy! Look, I'll show you a trick!"
The rabbit-eared girl stomped her feet, and with a puff, white mist came out of her body.
In the mist, her figure twisted and shrank.
When the fog dissipated, it had turned into a crow.
Only the pair of red eyes still retained the unique cleverness of the bunny-eared girl.
"quack!"
The red-eyed crow called out to Alan.
After turning into a crow, Puka lost his ability to speak.
But he can communicate with Alan through telepathy.
Alan soon learned that the Pooka were born with the ability to transform, but they could only transform into small animals such as crows, rabbits, and raccoons.
Puka turned into a crow, easily got out of the iron cage, flapped his wings, ran through the corridor, and landed at the door of the security room.
With a puff, mist spread out.
The red-eyed crow in the fog turned into a bunny-eared girl again.
A faint light shone through the crack in the door.
It was late at night, but the security guard was still awake.
Puka stood on tiptoe and peered through the keyhole.
The security guard was sitting in an armchair, reading a magazine with a naked chick on the cover.
A bunch of keys hung on his belt.
How can I get the key?
Puka scratched his head, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
There was a sudden meow outside the door.
It sounds like a female cat in heat.
The security guard was concentrating on studying, but was interrupted by the cat's meowing. He was very unhappy!
"Where did this wild cat come from?! It's so annoying!"
The security guard was annoyed and stood up to open the door, cursing.
Puka hid by the door, holding his breath and waiting.
Crunch——
The door was open.
The security guard poked his head out.
Puka pulled out a rabbit hair from his body.
Puff up your cheeks and blow hard on the rabbit's hair!
puff!
The rabbit hair suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of white smoke.
The security guard was caught off guard and was surrounded by smoke.
There is a strong smell of alcohol in the smoke!
This is another innate spell of the Pukka spirit, called "Pukka Dust".
Use a piece of rabbit hair as the casting material to create a small cloud of smoke with level 2 poison.
Inhaling puka dust is like drinking a full liter of vodka, which will immediately make people deeply drunk.
The security guard accidentally inhaled the "Puka dust" and felt dizzy and drunk, and was unable to think calmly.
He yawned twice and managed to go back into the house. Without even locking the door, he slumped down in the armchair.
In a blink of an eye, he started snoring loudly and slept like a dead pig.
“Hehehe…”
The girl with red eyes and bunny ears, covering her mouth and laughing.
Soon, Puka returned to the exhibition hall.
In his left hand he held a bunch of keys and in his right hand he held a picture magazine.
"Hey! Friend, I got the key, and I also brought you a gift!"
Puka shook the two trophies proudly, rolled up the magazine and stuffed it into the iron cage.
Alan picked up the magazine and flipped through it carelessly...
Suddenly my eyes light up!!
This is a classical painting style!
This hot look!
It has the texture of a 19th century hand-painted oil painting of "Playboy"!
"Big guy, do you like the gift I gave you?" Puka opened the iron cage and poked his head over to ask, "I saw that the security guard seemed to like this book very much, so I took it."
"Not bad, not bad! Good stuff!" Alan nodded in praise.
"Hehe! As expected, all men have similar tastes!"
The bunny-eared girl stood on tiptoe and glanced at the magazine.
"Wow! This pose is also possible? Isn't it too exaggerated?"
"This is called 'train bento', a real combat routine, not an exaggeration."
Alan explained casually.
"Isn't this tiring?" Puka couldn't understand.
"As long as the man is strong enough and the woman is petite, there will be no problem."
"Is it okay for someone as strong as you and as petite as me?"
"...You are still young, it is too early to ask these questions now!" Allen pushed away the curious and eager bunny-eared girl, "Let's go!"
The leopard man and the rabbit-eared girl walked through the dark corridor and quietly towards the gate.
Passing by the next exhibition hall, Puka stopped.
"Big guy! Thomas is locked up in this room!"
"So what?" Alan asked calmly.
"Let him out by the way." Puka picked up the key.
"You'd better mind your own business," Alan said impatiently.
"How can rescuing a friend be considered meddling in other people's business?" Puka rolled his eyes at him and unlocked the door on his own.
"You and Thomas have only known each other for one day, and you were almost strangled to death by him. What kind of friends are you?" Alan asked her with a frown.
"I guess Thomas didn't mean to hurt me," the bunny-eared girl smiled generously, "I've already forgiven him!"
"Haven't we only known each other for two days? We used to spit at each other, but now we're good friends, aren't we?"
Alan was speechless for a moment.
No wonder Puka in the ancestors' memory died at a young age.
With her outgoing and naive personality, it would be strange if she didn't get cheated by others!
"There's more than one security guard in the exhibition hall, hurry up!" Alan urged helplessly.
Puka nodded and quietly opened the door.
In the hall, Thomas was curled up in a corner of a cage. He opened his eyes immediately when he heard the noise coming from the door.
His face was full of vigilance and fear!
“Shh—”
Puka raised his index finger and covered his lips.
"Thomas, be quiet! Big Guy and I are here to save you!"
Thomas was surprised and at a loss.
"We are going to leave this damn place tonight, and take you with us." Puka stepped forward to unlock the iron cage, "Thomas, you will be free soon--"
Before he finished speaking, Thomas suddenly screamed!
Like a frightened vicious dog, he bared his teeth and howled at Puka!
It was obvious that he didn't want to leave the cage at all and didn't want to gain the so-called freedom.
Puka's kindness actually scared him.
Thomas's howl echoed in the exhibition hall shrouded in darkness, and it was extremely harsh.
Lights come on in nearby rooms!
There were chaotic footsteps coming from the corridor!
"Puka! Come back soon!" Alan urged in a deep voice.
The bunny-eared girl finally realized that her kindness was not rewarded, so she turned around and ran away!
Bang!
Suddenly, her rabbit tail was grabbed!
Puka turned around in horror.
Thomas stretched out his octopus-like arms from the fence and grasped her tail tightly with his palms.
"Let me go!" Puka was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Thomas! Don't do this! Let me go!"
But Thomas didn't let go.
He stared with a pair of cloudy yellow eyes and a hideous smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
It would be fine if he himself didn't want to escape, but he also didn't allow Puka to escape. What kind of twisted mentality does this have?
Naive Puka can’t understand it at all!
"Turcafinwé!"
Alan chanted a spell, pointed at Thomas, and cast the first-level "Giant Transformation" on him.
Thomas's obscene body swelled rapidly, almost filling the iron cage!
His arm, which could barely fit through the gap in the fence, suddenly became twice as thick and was stuck in the iron fence.
The severe pain in his arm made Thomas unable to exert any strength and he let go of his hand involuntarily.
Puka took the opportunity to escape and jumped into Alan's arms.
She hugged his neck tightly, her face full of fear and trembling.
"This is to teach you a lesson!"
Alan slapped the bunny-eared girl on the butt.
"Stop meddling in other people's business from now on!"
Puka nodded dejectedly, choking with regret:
"There are security guards blocking the doors at both ends of the corridor! It's all my fault. We can't escape now!"
Alan smiled calmly.
"That's not necessarily true."
He walked to the wall, put his left arm around Puka, and freed his right hand to hold the wall.
There were fully armed security guards at both ends of the corridor, holding batons and lanterns, approaching this side.
Even though he was in a desperate situation, Allen was not panicked at all.
He poured magic power into his right hand, exerted force from the palm of his hand, and struck the wall.
Exploding Palm!
BANG!!
With a loud bang, the entire wall was smashed to pieces by Alan's palm!
Puka hugged his neck tightly, his red eyes wide open.
Open your little mouth into a big O shape!
"Oh my god! Big guy... you're so strong!"
Alan smiled calmly, walked through the dust and jumped out of the hole in the wall.
The Colonial Customs Museum is located on the fourth floor of the Convention and Exhibition Building.
Outside the hole in the wall, the night was dark.
A hundred feet below is the brightly lit streets of the royal capital.
Alan transformed into a leopard man and leaped down from a height of a hundred feet.
The agile figure was projected on the moonlit street, passing by!
“Waaaaaa——”
Puka hugged the black panther tightly, his hair disheveled by the wind.
Alan stretched his body, as if melting into the night breeze.
It glided across the sky for a hundred feet and landed on the roof of a building opposite.
The moment he touched the ground, Alan curled up and rolled over, calmly absorbing the impact and remaining unharmed.
Keeping his limbs on the ground, Alan transformed again.
The muscles wrapped in the jet-black fur flowed like water, and he transformed from a leopard head with a human body into a real black panther.
Alan swung out his flexible tail, wrapped it around the stunned bunny-eared girl, and put her on his back.
Puka finally came to his senses and quickly hugged Black Panther's neck, clamping his legs tightly around Alan's waist.
Behind me, the night wind brought the security guard's curses.
They haven't given up on the pursuit of the fugitive and are taking a detour to try to surround the building.
A sneer of contempt appeared in Alan's green cat eyes.
After Puka sat firmly on him, he started to jog leisurely , gradually speeding up.
Running to the edge of the rooftop, Black Panther leaped forward.
Swish!
The leopard's claws clung to the facade of a building opposite, and it climbed up the steep brick wall like a big black cat.
The capital of the empire has bustling streets and rows of buildings.
Some are drainpipes, rooftops and wall cracks that can be climbed.
The metropolis under the moonlight looks like a concrete jungle.
The black panther carried the rabbit-eared girl on his back, jumping and climbing in the forest as if they were walking on flat ground.
In less than half an hour, the pursuers were completely forgotten.
…
Allen took Puka and fled the city and returned to the wilderness.
However, their troubles were not over yet.
A slave hunting team is tracking down the enemy.
The leader was the security captain who whipped Alan and Puka.
The pursuit team brought a large group of hounds, including a special "hound" - Thomas wearing an iron collar.
Thomas has a better nose than a dog.
He had been in close contact with Allen and Puka and could still remember their smells.
However, even Thomas, who was as alert as a hound, did not notice the red spores scattered in the nearby bushes.
This is the "alarm spore" left by Allen.
When Thomas and his group passed by, Alan received a mental alert from the spores 300 meters away.
This is a sparse poplar forest, which is suitable as a hunting ground.
Alan doesn't like being followed, so he decides to settle the feud right here and completely!
Thomas and others consider themselves hunters.
Little did they know that they had become Allen's prey.
Alan gestured to Puka.
The rabbit-eared girl understood what he meant and jumped away.
Alan got on all fours and transformed into a nimble black panther, running towards a big tree.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
In a blink of an eye, it climbed up the tree and hid in the dense canopy of branches and leaves.
Alan lay on the tree, narrowed his green eyes, and waited quietly.
At dusk.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the dim woods.
In the distance, there were people shouting and cursing.
Puka jumped up and down, occasionally looking back and pretending to be panicked.
Thomas ran after her, his ugly face twisted and flushed with excitement.
The iron collar around his neck indicated that his status in the slave hunting team was only equivalent to that of a hound.
The security captain whipped and cursed him without any mercy, treating him like a dog.
Thomas was full of anger but didn't dare to show it to his master. Now he finally found someone to vent his anger on.
My mind was full of thoughts about capturing Puka and ravaging him!
When passing by the big tree where Alan was hiding, Puka exerted force on his hind legs, jumped up, and jumped into the bushes opposite.
The bushes were filled with golden spores.
Puka held his breath and followed Alan's instructions, carefully avoiding these dangerous particles.
Thomas came after them with a pack of hounds, barking wildly. Without a second thought, they all dived into the bushes.
They inhaled the golden spores unexpectedly, and it was like being hit on the head with a stick. They were all shocked and stunned!
At the same time, the slave hunting team caught up breathlessly.
The barking sound suddenly disappeared!
This abnormal sign alerted the captain, who quickly raised his hand and signaled his companions to stop.
Everyone stood under a big tree, swords drawn, ready for battle.
The sunset glowed through the dense branches and leaves, falling on their sweaty faces.
Every face was filled with tension.
A sneer suddenly came from above my head!
“Who is it?!”
The slave hunting captain suddenly raised his head and looked towards the treetops.
Swish!
A dark shadow suddenly broke into his field of vision and rapidly enlarged in his eyes.
"Well--"
The captain's horrified face was stepped on hard by an animal's claw, and he fell on his back under a tree.
Under the sharp claws, the slave hunting captain's throat was torn.
It was as if a faucet was turned on and blood was gushing out continuously!
A leopard, completely black without a single stray hair, stepped on the corpse with a cold look in its eyes.
The mercenaries around all changed their expressions upon seeing this scene!
After a brief moment of shock, everyone finally came to their senses, raised their swords high, and rushed towards the black panther with roars.
Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, Alan stood up and transformed into a human body with a leopard's head.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and surging magic power gathered in his palm.
Bang!
Alan suddenly clenched his fists and crushed the air!
The bright moonlight flowed out from between his fingers, instantly illuminating the area within a radius of ten meters.
Fifth-level light-based martial arts—Moon Shadow Bullet!
A full moon seemed to rise among the trees.
The moonlight is like water, illuminating all living things.
Alan stood proudly in the moonlight, with corpses strewn across the ground at his feet.
All members of the slave hunting team were killed instantly while bathing in the beautiful yet deadly moonlight!
There was not a single wound on his body, as if he had died in his sleep.
There was a rustling sound in the bushes.
Puka jumped out and saw the corpses lying all over the ground, his red eyes showing surprise.
She knew that Alan was powerful, but she couldn't estimate how powerful this man was.
Every time she had an expectation of Allen's strength, Allen could always refresh her cognitive limit again!
The bunny-eared girl looked up at his companion.
The surprise in his eyes turned into admiration.
She felt safe with this man.
Even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, don't be afraid, Alan can handle all the troubles.
There was another noise in the bushes.
The effect of the deterrent spores wore off, and Thomas and the hounds regained consciousness.
I ran out in a hurry and took a look, and was immediately dumbfounded!
Now that all their masters are dead, the stray dogs have lost all their arrogance.
They tucked their tails between their legs and ran away whimpering.
Only Thomas stood there blankly, at a loss as to what to do.
Puka looked at him.
The disgust in his eyes was replaced by a hint of pity.
"Thomas, your master is dead and you are free."
"From now on, you don't have to listen to others' orders."
"You can go wherever you like."
Puka said these words out of kindness and did not mean to mock Thomas.
However, the same words, when heard by Thomas, deeply hurt his scars.
Puka feels that being free, unconstrained and able to do whatever he wants is the greatest happiness in the world.
But for Thomas, this kind of life is like the end of the world!
He was used to being raised by others, but suddenly lost his owner and had to fend for himself...
Thomas seemed to have returned to his abandoned childhood.
Great fear and anger ran through his soul.
The mark deep in his blood prompted him to begin his transformation!
“Aaaaaa——”
This deformed freak covered his face and screamed.
At the same time, his body was becoming more and more weird.
His muscles were all twisting and bouncing, bursting his coat.
It was as if countless snakes and insects were parasitic beneath the skin.
His hands and feet were stretched out like springs, the skin on the palms and soles of his feet was cracked, and dense bone spurs appeared!
Each bone spur is half an inch long.
It was as if sharp teeth had grown out of the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.
"Has the bloodline awakened?"
Alan stroked his chin and watched the changes happening to Thomas.
Shaking his head slightly, he revised his judgment.
"It looks more like a sign of being possessed by a demon."
Perhaps even Thomas himself did not know that the reason why he was born with deformities and flexible bones and flesh was because he had the bloodline of a "choker monster".
A choker, a strange creature that lives in sewers or the underworld.
The possessed Thomas completely unleashes the evil and cruelty in his nature, and at the same time becomes even more powerful!
Puka stared at the monster with astonishment in his eyes.
The possessed Thomas jumped up!
It climbed up the tree trunk at a speed that was beyond the limit of the naked eye and disappeared in an instant!
"ah……?!"
Puka suddenly came to his senses and looked up at the treetops.
As night fell, the forest became dark and silent.
Only the suffocating atmosphere of terror is quietly accumulating.
Swish…
The night wind blows through the treetops.
The leaves rustled.
Instinctively, Puka felt that this place was very dangerous!
He quickly jumped towards Allen.
Only when she is with Alan can she feel at ease.
call out!
A long arm suddenly swung out from the tree, extending three meters across the sky!
An open palm covered with sharp teeth.
Like a greedy mouth, it bit Puka's neck viciously!
Swish!
The leopard man's agile figure flashed by!
Just a hair's breadth away, the sharp teeth and long arms missed.
Alan gently placed the frightened Puka on the ground.
He turned around and faced the possessed Thomas hanging upside down from the branch.
The rich green eyes of the leopard man.
The cloudy yellow eyes of the choker.
They looked at each other from a distance of ten feet, and their eyes seemed to spark sparks.
The corners of Alan's lips turned up, revealing his neat white teeth.
He shook his index finger at the possessed Thomas.
"You are too weak, don't commit suicide."
These two sentences completely infuriated the possessed Thomas.
The monster screamed and swung its arms violently!
Swish!
The long arms were like two whips, wrapping around Alan's thick neck, with barbs on the palms, trying to pierce his throat.
Squeak—
The sharp teeth bit the leopard man's skin, making a metallic scraping sound!
Alan raised his hand and swung out an ivory bone whip from his palm.
Like a living snake, it coiled around the neck of the possessed Thomas.
The little monster was forcibly pulled down from the tree and lifted up in the air.
Black Panther and the Choker.
Both sides strangled each other's necks in a strange way.
The expressions were quite different.
The possessed Thomas was strangled by the bone whip and could not breathe. His face turned purple and he foamed at the mouth.
Alan remained calm.
It seemed as if the arms wrapped around her neck were nothing more than a scarf.
Alan raised his right hand, rushed towards Demon Thomas, and gave him a middle finger.
"One finger is enough to kill you!"
puff!
The middle finger thrust forward and pierced the forehead of the possessed Thomas.
Bone blasting!!
Amidst the roar, his head exploded on the spot!
Blood mixed with white brain matter splattered all over the sky!
A pair of limp long arms slid down from Alan's body.
Alan dropped the headless body, not bothering to take another look.
The bunny-eared girl patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
The pale little face regained its color.
Puka jumped to Alan and planned to cast a spell to heal his wounds.
Sadly, he wasn't injured at all.
"I don't understand... why is Thomas like this?" Puka looked at the body on the ground, his red eyes full of confusion, "Doesn't he want to be free?"
"The price of freedom is too heavy for him to bear, so he would rather be kept as a pet. This is understandable."
Alan stroked Puka's bunny ears and answered her questions softly.
“Everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, and no one has the right to prevent others from pursuing the life they want.”
"Unfortunately, few people can stick to both of these principles at the same time."
“It’s more about imposing on others what you don’t want others to do to you.”
“Most of the disputes in the world arise from this.”
After saying these words, Alan turned and walked into the depths of the jungle.
"Hey! Big guy, wait for me!"
Puka shook his rabbit ears and jumped after him.
"Big guy! Don't leave me!"
"I really like the way you look so cool and arrogant!"
"Puka has decided! I want to be your wife!"
"Big guy! Don't you know how to use the 'Giant Transformation Technique'?"
"Hurry up and give me one!"
"Make me as big as you!"
"I want to give birth to rabbits for you!"
Two figures, one big and one small, one in front and one behind.
They disappeared one after another into the depths of the jungle shrouded in darkness.
