Chapter 35: There's a Bear's Family Deep in the Mountains
Deep in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, a ragged man lay half-dead on the ground. Beside him, a huge bear-like beast was curiously feeding on the people on the ground.
"Ah!"
Like a drowning man, Xie Lingjun on the ground suddenly took a deep breath, startling the beast next to him.
"Ouch! Ahem!"
Xie Lingjun wanted to raise his hand to block the dazzling sunshine, but his body seemed to be falling apart. A slight movement could affect other injuries and cause pain for a long time. Even breathing was extremely difficult.
"Roar……"
There was a roar of wild beasts, and Xie Lingjun's heart suddenly went cold again. He thought that he finally survived, but in the end it was just fresh rations in the beast's mouth.
"You have a familiar smell..."
"who?"
Xie Lingjun endured the unspeakable pain all over his body and looked for the sound. He saw a giant beast that looked like a bear but not a bear, and a cat but not a cat. Except for its eyes, ears, limbs and a circle around its shoulders, it was all white.
Looking at himself warily, Xie Lingjun felt a warm ripple in his heart as he looked at the giant beast in front of him that was exactly the same as the naive national treasure in his memory.
"Are you talking?" Xie Lingjun asked.
"Spiritual beasts above the fourth level can speak human words. Of course I can speak. Who are you?" A strong voice that was completely inconsistent with the naivety.
Xie Lingjun was still doubtful at first, but after hearing what the giant beast said, he was immediately overjoyed. He endured severe pain and took the space ring from his arms. He waved his hand, took out a bamboo from his arms, and happily moved towards the giant beast.
The beast waved.
"Ah~ do you want to eat bamboo~"
"What do you mean? Are you insulting our iron-eating beast clan?"
The iron-eating beast knocked the bamboo out of Xie Lingjun's hand with a slap and stared at Xie Lingjun fiercely.
When Xie Lingjun saw the iron-eating beast swatting the bamboo away, he thought it was right, it is a national treasure! I don’t know when Xie Lingjun picked up the bamboo casually. It is normal for the national treasure not to like it, but then he thought about it again.
He stroked the iron-eating beast's plush face aggrievedly and said, "But...where can I find a basin of milk for you now..."
The iron-eating beast was a little overwhelmed by Xie Lingjun's appearance. He glanced at Xie Lingjun who was lying on the ground unconscious, thought about it, took Xie Lingjun's collar in his mouth, shook his head, and threw Xie Lingjun onto his back.
superior.
"Ouch!"
Xie Lingjun screamed in pain, and then passed out with a smile on the iron-eating beast's broad and soft back. At the last moment before passing out, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I finally experienced this plush feeling~
"ah……"
I don't know how long it took, Xie Lingjun woke up again, took a look at his surroundings, and found that he was lying in a cave. The surroundings were quite bright. He must have been the savior that the person said saved him.
Stretching his body with difficulty, Xie Lingjun secretly rejoiced that he survived the disaster. Although his body had been broken in many places by that palm, his soul power had not suffered a big blow. As long as his soul power was still there,
, you can use the space ring, and it is only a matter of time before you recover from your injuries.
Just when Xie Lingjun was about to get some healing medicine, a roar of wild beasts was heard outside the cave.
"you're awake?"
A deep sound came from outside the cave, and passed through the cave to Xie Lingjun's ears, which sounded like a buzzing sound.
"who?"
Xie Lingjun felt that the voice was a bit familiar and asked subconsciously.
"Instead of giving me bamboo, did you give me a long spear?"
"Um?"
Xie Lingjun was a little confused as to who the visitor was and why he said such puzzling words.
A huge black shadow walked towards Xie Lingjun, and the light in the originally bright and empty cave instantly dimmed a lot. Xie Lingjun pinched his fingers, and a weak flame ignited at his fingertips. Only then did Xie Lingjun see clearly who was coming.
Memories came back like a flood, and Xie Lingjun recalled little by little what was going on.
"Thanks for the help!"
Xie Lingjun nodded slightly towards the iron-eating beast to express his gratitude. The iron-eating beast didn't care and took another step towards Xie Lingjun with its huge body.
"Can you move?" the iron-eating beast looked at Xie Lingjun and asked.
"Huh? Okay." Xie Lingjun patted his chest, acting like a good boy.
"Come with me." The iron-eating beast turned his head and glanced outside.
"good……"
Xie Lingjun didn't know why, nodded, and followed the iron-eating beast with his seriously injured body. After a while, he followed the iron-eating beast to a bamboo forest, where more than a dozen iron-eating beasts kept harvesting under the sunshine.
With bamboo.
"Wow……"
Xie Lingjun was slightly shocked by the scene in front of him. It was very similar to the scene in his memory, and his naive appearance almost melted his heart.
"Old patriarch, he is here."
I saw a giant iron-eating beast that was twice as big as the iron-eating beast standing in front of Xie Lingjun. It looked a bit old. It was holding a piece of bamboo as thick as three people. It slowly turned around and looked at Xie Lingjun, and suddenly stretched out.
He lifted his neck and smelled Xie Lingjun's chest. Xie Lingjun looked at it in surprise and raised his hands to cover his chest, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Roar!"
The leader of the Iron-eating Beast clan roared, and wisps of silver light suddenly appeared on Xie Lingjun's chest, slowly intertwining and gradually forming a silver halo.
"Huh? What is this?"
Xie Lingjun curiously tried to touch the silver aperture, but it seemed as if the aperture did not exist. No matter how Xie Lingjun moved, the aperture was running autonomously in front of Xie Lingjun.
"who are you!"
"Well……"
The leader of the Iron-eating Beast clan knocked Xie Lingjun to the ground with one palm. The huge bear paw pressed down on Xie Ling's chest, and his sharp claws pressed against Xie Lingjun's neck. Xie Lingjun was stunned by this.
"Why?"
"Where did your space-time ring come from?"
"What space-time ring? This? I don't know, believe me, I am also a victim..."
Xie Ling glanced at the silver halo that was still spinning on his chest and explained hurriedly. After thinking about it, he gently put his hand on the beast's paw on his chest and smiled slightly.
"Hey...wait a moment, maybe I can find someone to ask..."
"Um……"
Xie Lingjun tried to push the claws on his chest away while laughing. After trying several times to no avail, Xie Lingjun closed his eyes and kept mumbling.
"Who is that? Come out! Old man? Old thing! Come out? Come out and explain? Hey!"
"..."
"Is he talking to me?" The leader of the Iron-Eating Beast Clan looked at Xie Lingjun with his eyes closed, and asked the Iron-Eating Beast with his mouth open as he brought Xie Lingjun over.
"You're just old and..." The iron-eating beast realized something was wrong and shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know either.
Xie Lingjun, who was calling for that person, saw that it had no effect and fell into infinite doubt. Suddenly, as if he was thinking of something, he gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Father?"
"Oh, here it comes!"
"Thief Sun! I will kill you to death if I find a way in the future!"
Ignoring Xie Lingjun's vicious curses, the figure shot out from Xie Lingjun's head like curls of green smoke. A figure appeared in front of the old leader of the Iron-eating Beast and said in a special tone.
"Long time no see..." the old patriarch murmured as he looked at the figure.
