There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 105: Unexpected Encounter

Seeing that Si Bu Xiang had run away with a red face, Tian Lu, unaware of what he had just said wrong, rested his chin on his hand and asked, "Huh, why did Si Bu Xiang leave?"

"Maybe he was hungry, after all, he had only drunk some water while he was unconscious for so long."

Hao Chen thought about it and still felt that the silly Tian Lu was cuter, so he didn't intend to explain to Tian Lu.

At this moment, Bixie pulled Chaos over: "Xiao Hao, let me introduce you. This is our friend Chaos. Tianlu and I both call her Big Guy."

Pixie realized that he and Tianlu had been so focused on reuniting with Chaos that they hadn't had a chance to introduce Chaos to Haochen. Now that he remembered, he quickly pulled Chaos, who was about to rest, over.

Tianlu also came over to join in the fun, saying, "Yeah, yeah, the big guy is really strong. He can dig a claw-sized cave with one palm strike, like this...like this..."

As Tianlu spoke, he gestured as if Chaos had dug a cave, his comical movements making even Bixie unable to bear watching.

Then, regardless of whether Chaos could hear or see, Bixie pulled Chaos's paw and stretched it towards Haochen: "Big guy, feel this. This is our new friend Haochen. He, Tianlu, and I are all from the Pixiu clan."

"Well!!!"

Although Chaos could neither hear Bixie's words nor see Haochen's appearance, he could still sense that Bixie wanted to introduce his friend to him.

Chaos rubbed Hao Chen's face with its claws. Although Hao Chen was somewhat unwilling, he still stood still so that Chaos could properly feel his appearance.

After touching Hao Chen's face, Chaos also leaned closer to smell Hao Chen's scent, and soon Hao Chen's image appeared in Chaos's mind.

Unlike the evil-repelling persimmon and the Tianlu cauliflower, Haochen was the image of a small orange in Chaos's mind.

Fortunately, it's not as spicy as Qiongqi chili peppers or as smelly as Taotie durian. Hao Chen, who tastes like little oranges, is quite popular with Chaos.

Meanwhile, the four-legged creature, feeling ashamed because of Tianlu's words, left and quietly went to a waterside.

"Little Blue Circle is such an idiot! What kind of beast would ask such a question! How am I supposed to answer that? Humph!"

Somewhat annoyed, Si Bu Xiang kicked small pebbles from the water's edge into the water, causing ripples to spread across the surface.

But just then, the chirping of birds in the surrounding trees suddenly stopped.

The sudden silence made Si Bu Xiang a little nervous: "Why, why is it so quiet all of a sudden?"

Just as the Four-Faced Beast, sensing something was wrong, was about to leave, the water suddenly rippled, and then a black shadow burst out of the water, leaped into the air, opened its mouth and stuck out a long tongue, which coiled towards the Four-Faced Beast.

"Ah~ Help!" the Four-Faced Beast cried out in alarm, then jumped back sharply, narrowly dodging the attack.

Then, seeing that the attack had missed, the dark figure fell from the sky and stood right in front of the Four-Faced Beast, cutting off its escape route.

Only then did the Four-Faced Beast realize that the one who had attacked him was actually a giant green toad. He was immediately startled and secretly worried, "Oh no, this toad is huge! I should have known better than to come out. What should I do now?"

The toad was sleeping soundly in its own home when the Four-Faced Beast threw a stone into the water, which, by sheer coincidence, hit the toad on the head and woke it up.

The toad originally wanted to come up and see which bastard did it, but it turned out that a Qilin had come to its territory, which immediately gave the toad an idea.

You should know that the Qilin is an auspicious mythical beast, favored by heaven and earth, and its entire body is a treasure. If I can keep this Qilin, I might be able to obtain enough resources to advance my cultivation.

The timid starve while the bold thrive. The moment the toad saw the Four-Faced Beast, it made up its mind that it must keep the Four-Faced Beast for the sake of cultivation resources.

"Caw! You're the one who threw stones into my house, aren't you? You hit me, you know that?"

The four-legged creature was initially a little anxious and scared, but after hearing the toad's words, it subconsciously apologized to the toad, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this pond was your home."

The toad scoffed, "If saying sorry was enough, what would be the point of the Heavenly Court? You threw stones at my house, you should at least offer some compensation."

The Four-Faced Beast was initially intimidated by the toad, believing that it had done something wrong to cause the toad's anger, completely failing to see the naked greed in the toad's eyes.

"Um, this was my fault, I apologize to you, what kind of compensation do you want?"

The toad was somewhat incredulous that the Four-Faced Beast was so easy to talk to, after all, he was just an ordinary toad that had become a spirit. Most divine beasts looked down on such spirits, and the toad was helpless about it, since he couldn't beat them, he really couldn't beat those divine beasts.

The reason he targeted the Four-Faced Beast was that he discovered it was not yet a fully grown Qilin and its fighting power seemed not very strong, so the toad wanted to try and see if he could keep it.

In addition, Qilin is known for its good temper. Even if the other party gets really angry and he can't beat the other party, he won't kill him. At most, he'll just get a beating.

In an instant, the toad thought of many things. He decided to test the Four-Faced Beast again. The toad stretched out his right leg in front of the Four-Faced Beast and said, "Look, you've hurt me. What do you want to do now?"

The Four-Faced Beasts saw that there was indeed a wound on the toad's leg, but the wound was clearly a scratch, not caused by a stone hitting it, and the wound was almost healed.

“I didn’t cause this injury at all, and the wound is almost healed.”

After saying this, Si Bu Xiang tried to walk around the toad and leave, but the toad wouldn't let Si Bu Xiang leave so easily.

"You say it's not true, but this is what you created. Don't think you can just leave so easily."

Seeing this, the toad quickly stepped in front of the Four-Faced Beast again and glared at him fiercely.

"You, you, you're being unreasonable! Let me leave now, or Little Plum Blossom will definitely not let you get away with it if she finds out you've bullied me," the Four-Faced Beast said, its voice stern but its tone weak.

The toad naturally sensed the Qilin's unease and concluded that the Qilin was not strong in combat. He figured that as long as he acted quickly, he could catch the Qilin before the little plum blossom in its mouth arrived.

Having figured it out, the toad dropped its pretense: "Hmph, no matter what you say, it's useless. Since you hit me with a rock, then let me eat you!"

"Ah, so you wanted to eat me?" Only now did the Four-Faced Beast realize that the other party had initially wanted compensation, but actually wanted to eat him.

"That's right, the Qilin is a great tonic. If I eat you, my cultivation will greatly improve."

Upon hearing the toad's words, the Four-Faced Beast anxiously looked around, searching for an escape route.

The toad coldly stared at the four-legged creature: "Stop looking. How could I let my prey get away? And don't expect anyone to come to your rescue."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Why waste words with a toad? Just kill him."

Suddenly, two figures appeared between the four-legged creature and the toad; they were Qiongqi and Taotie.

Having been taught a lesson by Bixie and Tianlu, they planned to take a roundabout approach in order to regain their place in Haochen's heart.

They originally planned to apologize to the Four-Faced Beast, since they thought it was relatively easy to talk to, but they didn't expect to see it in danger.

What a coincidence! After discussing it, Qiongqi and Taotie unanimously decided to save the Four-Faced Beast, thus securing their title as its saviors. They were convinced those two Pixiu wouldn't dare harm them.

Of course, the most important thing was that they realized the toad was just an ordinary spirit that had become a spirit. Although it was bigger than them, it was still within their control, so they stepped forward.

When the Four-Faced Beast saw Qiongqi and Taotie, it didn't recognize them and thought they were going to eat it too, so it was so frightened that it fell to the ground.

The toad became anxious when it saw two beasts suddenly appear out of nowhere. If the time dragged on, it would be disadvantageous for it.

"Damn it, I'll have to deal with these two brats first." The toad narrowed its eyes, emitting a fierce glint, and then opened its mouth, sticking out its long tongue at Qiongqi.

"Oh my god, what a long tongue! And this move is disgusting. I don't want to get his saliva on me. Taotie, hurry up and stab him."

As Qiongqi dodged, it directed the Taotie to curl into a spiky ball, giving the toad a full-body acupuncture treatment.
