MM Racing Chapter 9, Your Child, Very Moist
Chapter 9, Your Child, Very Moist
After crossing the outer plains, the group entered a forest of withered trees. The branches and leaves were tangled and the ground was covered with decaying leaves, concealing the aura of many hidden monsters.
They had only taken a few steps when the bushes on both sides suddenly stirred, and three one-eyed demon wolves darted out. One of them pounced on Xiao Yu at the back of the group, its fangs gleaming coldly.
Xiao Yu feigned panic and retreated, pretending to unleash a spell.
Before Xiao Yu could make a move, Bai Yang's Nether Wolf Beast leaped up, bit the Demon Wolf's neck, and slammed it against a tree trunk, instantly killing the Demon Wolf.
The remaining two were also taken down by Fan Lijun's fire attack and the combined efforts of her three teammates.
The smell of blood quickly mingled with the stench of decaying leaves and spread throughout the air.
Bai Yang walked to Xiao Yu's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a meaningful tone, "You see? This is how it is outside the Anjie Realm. It's a dog-eat-dog world. If you don't have the power, you can't even protect yourself. If that demonic wolf had been any faster, you might have already had your throat bitten through."
Xiao Yu lowered his head, pretending to be scared, and clenched his fists: "I know... but I don't have the resources to improve, and my summoned beasts are weak, so I have no chance to become stronger."
"No chance? That's because you haven't found the right path." Bai Yang glanced at his teammates, lowered his voice, and a shadow flashed in his eyes. "In this world, the rules are set by the strong. So-called righteous families and magic schools only give resources to people with backgrounds. People like us without backing won't even look at us."
Xiao Yu looked up, a mixture of doubt and urgency in his eyes: "Instructor Bai Yang, do you have any other way to help me become stronger?"
Bai Yang's lips curled into a subtle smile, and he lowered his voice even further: "Of course there is. I know a good place where you don't care about your background. As long as you have ambition and want to become stronger, you can get enough resources, and even obtain power far exceeding that of ordinary mages. Even making your summoned beasts evolve rapidly is not difficult."
Xiao Yu's eyes flickered, a determined glint in them: "What good place? As long as I can become stronger, I'll do anything!"
"You'll understand in time. It won't do you any good to talk about it now." Bai Yang didn't directly name the Black Vatican, but patted his arm. "If you really want to get out of your current situation, follow me more often. You'll gradually understand that only power is the most real thing; everything else is illusory."
Xiao Yu nodded, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, while on the surface he still looked eager to become stronger.
Fan Lijun then walked over and handed Bai Yang a bottle of potion: "What are you two chatting about here?"
Bai Yang glanced at Xiao Yu and smiled, "Some topics men talk about."
Xiao Yu nodded in confirmation.
"Boring man!" Fan Lijun rolled her eyes.
Fan Lijun had long noticed that Xiao Yu, that little beast, had been staring at her. She had felt sorry for him before, but now it seemed that there was always a reason why someone was pitiful!
Bai Yang has already begun to try to win him over. All he needs to do next is follow his lead so that he can gradually figure out the Black Vatican's plans at the post station.
They didn't encounter many more monsters along the way, and the few scattered one-eyed demon wolves were easily wiped out by the team.
As the sun began to set and a chill gradually crept into the withered forest, Bai Yang led the group back. Along the way, he deliberately chatted with Xiao Yu about some "unorthodox" methods for improving magical cultivation, subtly implying the limitations of the orthodox path and the benefits of that "mysterious force."
Xiao Yu feigned agreement throughout, occasionally interjecting with questions, which made Bai Yang increasingly believe that he was already smitten.
As evening fell, the group returned to the Xuefeng Mountain Inn.
After the guards at the city gate checked them, they were allowed to pass. Zhan Kong was standing at the entrance of the post station waiting. Seeing everyone return, his gaze fell on Xiao Yu: "First time going out, weren't you scared?"
"No, it's all thanks to Instructor Bai Yang's care," Xiao Yu quickly replied, his tone respectful.
Bai Yang stepped forward with a smile: "Don't worry, Boss Zhan Kong. This kid is clever. He didn't pee, which is better than most people. With more training, he'll definitely amount to something."
Zhan Kong nodded and waved his hand: "Alright, everyone go back and rest."
Everyone dispersed, and Xiao Yu returned to his rented room in the post station town.
As soon as I turned on my phone, a call came in.
It turned out to be Teacher Tang Yue.
I was originally planning to think of a reason to call Teacher Tang Yue, but I didn't expect Teacher Tang Yue to call me directly.
As soon as the call connected, Teacher Tang Yue asked accusingly, "Did you go to the Xuefeng Mountain Inn?"
"Um."
"Next semester is for training, you don't need to go there early," Teacher Tang Yue said.
"Teacher Tang Yue, I just want to train myself so I can serve my country in the future. Besides, I have a summoned beast to protect me, so it's fine," Xiao Yu said.
"Have you seen Zhan Kong?" Teacher Tang Yue asked, pleased with Xiao Yu's words. "He's your head instructor for next semester's training. If he bullies you, tell me, and I'll stand up for you."
"Teacher Tang Yue is overthinking it. They've all been very kind to me," Xiao Yu said, feigning ignorance. "Especially Instructor Bai Yang. He told me he has a way to make me stronger quickly."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Teacher Tang Yue immediately sat up straight. "What kind of quick way to become stronger?"
"He didn't say." Xiao Yu shook his head, looking disappointed. "He said if I want to learn, I can come to him anytime."
Teacher Tang Yue narrowed her eyes; her woman's intuition immediately linked Bai Yang with the Black Vatican.
She had dealt with the Black Vatican before and knew very well what their mentality was.
The Black Vatican is unmatched in its ability to bewitch people!
However, Teacher Tang Yue didn't show any sign of distress, and said with a smile, "He was probably just teasing you. There's no such thing as a quick way to improve your strength. Don't take it seriously. Focus on your training and getting into a good magic university is the only way to become stronger."
"Okay, Teacher Tang Yue." Xiao Yu smiled.
The objective has been achieved; Teacher Tang Yue must be thinking about the Black Vatican.
As long as she arranges for people to secretly investigate Bai Yang, she's not afraid that he won't reveal his true colors.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate, wanting to see what Lao Hei was up to.
As soon as Xiao Yu shifted his consciousness to Lao Hei, he got a headache.
This guy actually went to the Three-Eyed Demon Wolves' lair and ate their wolf cubs!
He is currently being chased and hacked down by a large group of demons.
As it ran, it turned back to mock the three-eyed wolf, its eyes seeming to say, "Your child is quite succulent."
But seeing that Lao Hei was having a great time, I didn't bother to interfere.
Although this guy can't beat the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf right now, it won't be easy for the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf to catch up with Old Black.
As for mana consumption, there's basically no need to worry.
After Old Black devours a creature, part of it will become the energy for its advancement, and the other part will be transformed into primal magical energy to feed back to it.
As for the primal magical energy that returns, Xiao Yu can use it to replenish the magical energy of any magic system.
Therefore, as long as Old Black eats enough and fast enough, his magical energy can be infinite.
However, the inner world of Old Black is too small now to fully replenish Xiao Yu's magic energy deficit.
If Xiao Yu eats outside for a maximum of ten hours, his summoning magic energy will be depleted, and Lao Hei will be forcibly pulled back to the summoning plane.
