Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 5: The Purple Cloud Beast
Just when everyone was ready to fight to the death with the ninth-level monster that broke through the air, a ball of purple mist suddenly flew out from the monster stone and flew into the arms of Gong Lili who was standing beside the monster stone at lightning speed. Gong Lili was caught off guard and was hit by the ball of purple mist!
Gong Lili was hit in the chest by the unidentified object. She was horrified and thought she was going to die. She was about to scream, but was surprised to find that what hit her was not a ferocious monster. If she was not mistaken, it seemed to be a fist-sized fluffy thing?
When she forced herself to calm down and take a closer look at the little creature that had suddenly burst into her arms, she was stunned. This was the legendary ninth-level demon beast?!
It turned all the creatures in the forest into monsters, bringing disaster to the nearby villages. And it made such a big noise just now, with a heartbeat as loud as a dinosaur. Is this the thing?
Is this a joke? Or did I hear it wrong? Did I see it wrong? Is my vision blurry? Is it just a passing cloud?
She almost thought that the demon rat was lying to her.
This is clearly an extremely cute little mink! It's the size of a fist, and its entire body is light purple. Its mink fur is so smooth and feels like satin. Its purple eyes are also watery and full of spirit, like two amethysts. No matter how you look at it, it feels incredibly cute. Is this lovable little thing really a ninth-level monster?
The people on the side were also stunned at this time. They had just felt the extremely powerful demonic power, but now that the demonic stone was opened, all the demonic power disappeared!
Moreover, everyone was staring with wide eyes. There seemed to be nothing else in the magic stone except Diao'er running out. Mo Yi seemed to be unconvinced. He looked into the cracked magic stone a few more times and finally confirmed that there was indeed nothing in the magic stone now.
Could it be that the so-called demonic beast within the demonic stone was actually this palm-sized creature?! Everyone's expressions couldn't have been any more grim. Even the country bumpkin's mouth was wide open, as if an egg could fit inside. He stared at the little sable in Gong Lili's hands, looking and looking, as if he couldn't believe that the culprit who had nearly killed everyone in their village was actually such a palm-sized creature.
Just as Ping Lili stared at the little mink with her eyes wide open, the little mink suddenly smiled at her and called out to her in an extremely clear and crisp voice: "Mother!"
What?!
What did it just call her?
Ping Lili thought she had misheard, but the little guy suddenly jumped into the palm of Ping Lili's hand again and called out sweetly again: "Mommy~" The crisp voice was so sweet that it could squeeze out honey.
Ping Lili's whole body stiffened instantly, as if struck by lightning. She subconsciously turned her head away, looking at Mo Yi with an innocent and bewildered look. It took her a long while to find her voice: "I, this, I, I'm not..."
Poor Gong Lili, he had probably never experienced such stimulation before. At this moment, his brain was not working properly and his tongue seemed to be tied.
However, Mo Yi's expression at this moment was not much better than hers. She could clearly see that the corners of Mo Yi's mouth were twitching, and it was twitching violently!
The foolish, country boy, still eager to stir up trouble, exclaimed, "It spoke! It actually spoke! It's a talking monster! It actually called you mother! Are you really its mother? Are you a monster too?"
If he could attract heavenly thunder at this moment, Gong Lili would have wanted to immediately draw down a thunderbolt to kill this irritable kid! Or Yan Zheng was understanding and directly sealed the guy's mute point. Suddenly, the country boy opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out.
After a long while, Ping Lili finally recovered from her shock. She hurriedly said to the little Diao'er, "Little guy, don't claim any relatives randomly. I'm not your mother!"
The little purple mink opened its amethyst-like eyes, as if it understood what Yinglili said. It showed an innocent expression: "You are my mother. Only my mother can open the white crystal and wake me up."
Gong Lili stroked her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. So that was what was happening. But then she twitched again. She was the one who opened the magic stone just now. If it was Mo Yi or Yan Zheng who opened the magic stone, would this little monster also call them mother?
Thinking of this, Ping Lili almost couldn't help laughing out loud. When she thought of the little Diao'er calling Mo Yi "mother" with an innocent expression and Mo Yi's twitching face, Ping Lili felt extremely happy.
She gently stroked the little mink's silky fur and asked softly, "Okay, let's not dwell on this issue. Let me ask you, what's your name? What kind of monster are you?"
The little mink scratched its head with its furry paws, tilted its head to think seriously, and then continued with its clear voice: "I don't remember what my name is, but it seems that someone called me Purple Cloud Beast before."
Purple Cloud Beast? !
Now not only the demon rat, but also Mo Yiyanzheng and others gasped.
Legend has it that the Purple Cloud Beast can swallow clouds and spit out mist to create a heavenly illusion! It is said that the illusion created by this Purple Cloud Beast is so realistic that even a god would find it difficult to escape if they fell into it!
This little fellow, the size of a palm, is actually the Purple Cloud Beast!
Ying Lili didn't know the legend of the Purple Cloud Beast, but looking at the expressions of Mo Yi and others, she probably knew that this must be a powerful character. She just didn't know why it looked like this, not like a monster at all.
At this time, Ying Lili finally noticed the demon rat that had already collapsed and trembled beside him, but he didn't know why it was so scared.
In fact, it is not the demon rat's fault. You have to know that in the demon world, the level division is very serious. The fear of low-level demon beasts towards high-level demon beasts is innate. Even if the purple cloud beast does not look powerful at this time, the demon rat's fear of it is deep-rooted.
After a long time of effort, Yinglili finally calmed the demon rat down, and then heard it tremblingly say, "Ru, if I remember correctly, if I remember correctly, this purple, purple, purple cloud beast should be reincarnated..."
Reincarnation? What's going on?
Fortunately, Zeze now understood most of it. He took over the demon rat's words and explained to Gong Lili, "Even the most powerful demon beasts have lifespans. Once they reach their limit, they must reincarnate. If I'm not mistaken, this Purple Cloud Beast should be like me. Due to fate, it was reincarnated. However, it has only just been reincarnated, so it can't be as powerful as the legends say."
"But why does the magic stone have such powerful magic power?" Gong Lili was still puzzled. Why did he feel such powerful magic power before, but there was very little magic power in this purple cloud beast?
"Of course, before the Purple Cloud Beast was reincarnated, it was afraid of being hurt by others, so it exerted powerful demonic power on the demon stone that sealed itself as a way of self-protection." Zeze explained tirelessly. He actually had a feeling of mutual appreciation for the Purple Cloud Beast, because at this moment, Zeze and the Purple Cloud Beast were basically the same, except that he was a little luckier and was still able to retain his original cultivation.
At this time, Mo Yi's face was obviously disappointed. He originally thought that he could still fight with the ninth-level monster, but it seems that this hope has been dashed. Looking at the appearance of this little guy, he was afraid that Mo Yi could kill it with just one finger.
However, after hearing these reasons, Gong Lili felt happy. Although the Purple Cloud Beast seemed to have no magical power, it would be just right to have it as a pet. Gong Lili never expected to be able to tame a ninth-level demon beast anyway. It felt good to keep it as a pet at this time.
After making up her mind, Yinglili smiled and gently stroked the little head of the Purple Cloud Beast, saying to it softly, "Well, since you and I are destined to be together, you should follow me from now on."
The Purple Cloud Beast was naturally overjoyed upon hearing this, and kept burrowing into Gong Lili's arms. Gong Lili grabbed its little head and suddenly said seriously, "But I have a condition. You can't call me mother anymore. You have to call me Sister Lili, just like him!"
The Purple Cloud Beast pouted, somewhat unhappy: "Mother is mother, why can't I call her mother?"
Yan Lili's face was immediately filled with black lines. She couldn't just tell this little demon that she wasn't married yet, didn't even have a husband, so how could she be your mother? Of course, when she thought of this, Yan Lili secretly glanced at Mo Yi and found that Mo Yi was looking at her with a playful raised eyebrow. She quickly lowered her head and said seriously to the purple cloud beast, "Anyway, if I say you can't call me that, then you can't call me that. If you want to follow me, you can only call me Sister Lili. Otherwise, you'll have to fend for yourself!"
Before he finished speaking, as if to scare the Purple Cloud Beast, Gong Lili spread out his hands, pretending to let the Purple Cloud Beast go. The newly reincarnated Purple Cloud Beast didn't have so many tricks, and actually believed it. He quickly snuggled into Gong Lili's arms and replied in a low voice, "Don't bark, then don't bark."
Seeing that his threat had succeeded, Ping Lili was very pleased. He held the Purple Cloud Beast in his arms and played with it for a while. Then, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he said to the Purple Cloud Beast, "How about this, since you've been reborn, you should give yourself a new name. Calling yourself Purple Cloud Beast all the time is not a good name and doesn't come across well."
When the Purple Cloud Beast heard that Yinglili wanted to give it a name, its pair of eyes like amethysts immediately lit up, as if it was expecting Yinglili to give it a majestic name. Unfortunately, it did n't know Yinglili well enough.
That girl is simply full of evil intentions! Ping Lili looked at Ze Ze beside him and smiled slyly: "From now on, you can call me Ping Ping!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded, including the Purple Cloud Beast itself, who was stunned for a moment.
"Mean…?" Such an uncreative name?
It was Zeze who became alert at this time. Although he didn't understand why Gong Lili gave the Purple Cloud Beast this name, the sly smile on Gong Lili's face when she looked at him just now made him subconsciously feel that the name seemed to be related to himself.
Sure enough, before he could even ask, Yinglili had already explained, "Because you and Zeze are both reincarnated. Pingping and Zeze, quite a good pair of names."
Zeze's eyelids twitched heavily, and she pouted unhappily: "Why should I have a name that matches its?!"
"G, it's easier to raise a person with a cheap name. Look how lively you are now, it's all thanks to your name!" After Ping Lili said this, Ze Ze almost hit the ground and vomited blood. The pure and innocent heart in his heart was severely hit.
No wonder she insisted on calling herself Zeze, it turned out she thought that name was cheap enough to keep her...
The Purple Cloud Beast, having been given a derogatory name, quickly accepted its new name. It opened its innocent eyes and said to Gong Lili seriously, "Okay, I'll be called Ping Ping from now on. I want to grow up quickly and become like Ze Ze!"
"Good boy, good boy~" After hearing this, Gong Lili immediately smiled happily, hugged the Purple Cloud Beast and ravaged it again. After a while, he remembered the important issue. This forest had been seriously eroded by the demonic power because of the demonic stone that the Purple Cloud Beast had used to protect itself. Now that the little guy has been reincarnated and broken out of the stone, he didn't know if he could find a way to eliminate the demonic energy here.
After saying this to the Purple Cloud Beast, the little fellow opened his mouth slightly. Everyone felt a strange airflow swirling in the air. Then, something unexpected happened. Countless purple airs suddenly gathered in the air, gathering more and more, forming a huge vortex in the air. Then, the Purple Cloud Beast sucked the vortex into its stomach whole. Looking around at this time, there was no trace of demonic energy!
Along with the deep pit and the demon stone that was broken into pieces, they disappeared at this time, as if they were all swallowed by the purple cloud beast!
All living things, flowers, plants, insects and birds, seemed to be cast under a spell in an instant and returned to their original appearance! Even the trees that had become demons now looked as if they had returned to their original state!
It seems that the evil spirit spread in the forest has now been completely absorbed by the Purple Cloud Beast!
Goodness! I underestimated it before, thinking it had no demonic power and was quite weak. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It's so powerful just after reincarnation. Before reincarnation... Yinglili didn't even dare to think about it.
When the country bumpkin saw this scene, he was extremely happy. He jumped and skipped in front of Gong Lili, pointed at the Purple Cloud Beast and then pointed in the direction of the village. Gong Lili knew that he wanted to take the Purple Cloud Beast with him to save the people in their village, those who were eroded by the evil spirit and were terminally ill.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It is natural for Ying Lili to do such a favor. What's more, it doesn't require her to worry about anything, as she just needs to let this new pet swallow and spit a few times.
Without waiting for Mo Yi and the others' response, Ying Lili untied the country boy's mute point and said proudly, "Lead the way!"
What a cocky female knight!
When will this girl stop being nosy? Having lost his curiosity, the young man sighed inwardly and followed with a certain resignation.
