People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 273: Add one more partner and the food allowance will double!
".Such an ordinary little lizard, even I can easily defeat it."

"."

Under the gaze of Ying, who was full of black lines,
A white-haired ball whose combat power was only one-fifth of that of a wild boar in a previous test,
Facing this unknown creature that was obviously still in its infancy, he seemed to suddenly regain his confidence.

He held his head high and gave his victory speech in advance.

fluorescent:"."

Why do I remember that every time you were so confident, something unexpected would happen?
And no matter how you think about it, this little guy can't possibly be an ordinary little lizard.
Unlike Paimon in front of him, who only judges people by appearance,

Ying thought about what the scholar in front of him had said yesterday, that the reward he would give would match the value of this mission.
Although she couldn't tell what was so special about this little guy at first,
But for some reason, when Ying saw the special scales on its body, she always had a sense of déjà vu.

Strange, where have I seen this thing before? It seems like it happened recently.
While she was thinking,
Seeing that Paimeng was so confident, Lin Feng
I also had the idea of ​​teasing them and testing the little ones' fighting ability.

He smiled and said:
"——Actually, you should have guessed it. This little fellow is the reward I prepared for you."

"But its situation is indeed very special, and you can choose whether to bring such a partner with you."

“How about an interview?
You two should go together and try to fight it.
Based on the outcome of the battle, you can judge whether this little guy is suitable to join your team."

"Fight? With this little lizard?!"

"And Ying and I are together."

Paimon rubbed his eyes and looked at the cute little creature in front of him, who looked like an elongated lizard, in disbelief.

——Although it is indeed somewhat different from ordinary lizards, this little creature that looks like it just hatched from an egg, how could it possibly have any fighting power?

"Haha, don't underestimate it."

"Although it is indeed a newborn cub,

But even if we search all over Teyvat, there shouldn't be many that can cause damage to it."

".If I must say, this is probably the infancy of a dragon.
Even if it hasn't grown up yet, its combat power is still a little stronger than that of a wild boar."

"Paimon are you sure you want to try it yourself?"

As Lin Feng spoke, he pushed the "lizard" that was lying on his arm and eating food forward.

He used gestures to signal Paimon whether he should try to take over.

".Uh, well, let's not use that."

". Let Ying take on this battle that seems impossible to lose."

"——Paimon is not scared, I just don't want to bully a child!"

Looking at the smile on Lin Feng's face, Paimeng inexplicably had a bad feeling.

After hesitating for a while, he finally righteously gave the opportunity to "bully" the weakling to the blonde girl next to him.

A moment later, in the middle of a flat mountain area where few people had ever been.

Ying, who had been fully armed and ready to face a strong enemy under Lin Feng's instruction, stood at one side of the venue.
Her opponent was the "ordinary little lizard" floating in the air, which was about the same length as Paimon.

Although the original Chilong's consciousness and memory have been completely annihilated in time,
But even with the superior race's inherent fighting instincts and talent for controlling elemental forces,
This little Chilong, which was born less than a day ago, is not afraid of such "play".

——Its body was completely drained of the remains of the original Chilong and rebuilt with the power of grass.
Even if it is not at a high growth stage, if you really want to hurt it, you need a demon god at least at the level of Osel.

And the Ying in front of him, even in the later stage, was obviously still far from reaching that level of output.

"The venue is ready, so we can start now."

"Let me explain in advance that although this little guy is not very aggressive, his defense is still pretty good.
In order to achieve a better test effect, Ying, you can attack with all your strength first, and don't hold back."

Lin Feng, who was the referee for this job interview, stood aside and gave the start signal to the blonde girl on the left side of the field.

After hearing this, Ying nodded seriously and did not let her guard down too much:
——Even the fishing rod she had taken from here earlier knocked out an executive officer.

Who knows what this little guy who can even stand on each other's shoulders will be like!
I adjusted my breathing a little bit.

Ying directly used elemental power to strengthen himself and his weapons to the maximum extent.

"boom--"

Accompanied by a loud bang caused by stepping on the ground,

The blonde girl also used all her strength to launch the strongest attack in her current state at the opponent in front of her who always gave her a familiar feeling.

——Although Ying is gradually getting used to the existence of elemental power,
But her strongest attack method at the moment is naturally the close-range attack that uses both elemental power and physical fitness to the fullest.
It can be said that now that she has superimposed this sword with elemental strengthening skills, even the executive at that time would not be able to take it head-on!

"boom--"

With a powerful blow, the special metal on the blade of the dagger hit the scales of the "lizard" in front of him.

After the dull sound of a knife hitting an iron block,
The little fellow, who didn't even shake at all, looked at the flying sparks and yawned comfortably.

"."

One cut and nothing happened.

???

Even though I had expected this, after seeing this counterintuitive scene,
Ying, with a head full of question marks, also fell into silence.

This is not a breakout? Am I that weak?
"."

"Gulu?"

The Chilong cub in front of her didn't give her much time to doubt her life.

After seeing his playmate finish his action,
It had been suppressing its urge to attack.
Finally got a chance to let go and show off.

Without thinking, he followed the simplest way of using elemental power instinctively and tried to gather the rock elemental elements concentrated in the surrounding area into his mouth:
——This is actually what all high-level elemental creatures basically know, but generally, except for powerful individuals, they will not waste elements to use the inefficient attack method "elemental cannon".

"Om-"

The roar caused by the high-speed gathering of elemental forces came from the mouth of the Chilong cub.
The bright elemental light even completely obscured the little fellow's already small body.

!!!

After this terrifying elemental fluctuation came,

Ying, who had heard the scholar say that this guy's 'attack power is not strong', was immediately startled and became alert instantly.
As the compression of this elemental force became increasingly higher, even a little "outrageous",
The blonde girl gave up the idea of ​​relying on her shield to withstand the attack.

He dodged and hugged Paimeng, and hid behind Lin Feng in his speechless eyes.

Lin Feng: “.”Okay, it seems there is no problem. This is indeed something that Yinghui would do.

next moment,
The Chilong cub, who had finally completed the accumulation of power in the domineering state, released the elemental light ball that had been compressed in his mouth directly because his control power had reached its limit:

"Boom——" An unprecedented huge roar was heard.

The golden light cannon, as dazzling as the sun, also swept around the little guy at a high speed.
"——Ugh, help!"

"——Paimon won't call you a little lizard anymore. Paimon apologizes to you. Please don't hit me!!!"

"——How can this be a weak attack?! You are really lying!"

"."

In the attacked areas, not only did deep gullies appear on the ground,

Even a small hill next to it was cut in half, raising a cloud of dust.
Paimon, who had previously boasted that he could defeat several "ordinary little lizards" by himself,

Looking at the attacks coming towards him and Ying, he simply covered his eyes with his hands and apologized spinelessly.

Lin Feng: “.” Well, not only Ying, there’s nothing wrong with Paimeng’s performance either.

But no matter what, the attacks will still come.
Although the Chilong cub found that the direction was wrong and there was a possibility of hitting Lin Feng, it tried its best to control it.
But after all, this was the first time that he had mobilized his power to launch an all-out attack.
After finding out that there was no way back,
Just like Paimon, the little guy raised his two cute little paws to cover his eyes with despair.

"boom--"

There was a sound of the earth being torn apart.

Amid the rising dust, the elemental power contained in this attack was finally completely consumed.

In front of the Chilong cub, which had wilted from overusing its power and looked like it was waiting for criticism,

Lin Feng was unharmed, not even the corner of his clothes was messed up.
He also brought Ying and Paimon behind him to the little guy's side,
He patted its head helplessly and amusedly, and said comfortingly:

"."

"Don't worry. This is your first time using elemental power. It's normal to lose control. I won't blame you."

"——However, if it is not in the wild environment,

Then you must not mobilize elemental forces that you cannot control like you are doing now."

"Woo——"

The Chilong cub nodded, cautiously indicating that he understood.

After a while,

The dust that was raised has settled,
Lin Feng also urged the little guy to fill up the previous cuts on the ground and the collapsed mountains completely.

Facing Paimon whose curiosity has exploded and Ying who is deep in thought,
He also formally introduced the identity of the little guy:

"——Perhaps you have already guessed that it is of the same species as the demon body you encountered when you were carrying out the commission before.
This is actually a young Chilong that I just took over.
Although it cannot be called a demon god, it is still a very powerful elemental life form."

"——Because of this, its growth rate is very slow.

You need to improve your mind and exercise your strength during the adventure, and at the same time swallow some items containing power to accelerate your development.
That’s why I hope you can take it with you on your trip and help me take care of it for a while.”

"As for the benefits."

Lin Feng paused for a moment, pointed to the gullies that had just been filled, and said with a smile:
"——As you can see, it is not only very smart, but also has the strength to be a good teammate.
If you bring it with you, it will most likely help you solve many problems that are usually difficult to deal with.
——At least without restrictions, with it, most of the executive officers will no longer pose a threat to you."

fluorescent:"."

I know that everything around you is definitely not simple.

——So, the poor attack power you mentioned earlier, could it be based on the standards of a demon god? !

——If even the attack power that is a weakness is this strong
I mentioned my strong defense, but it would be strange if I could cause any damage, right?!

Although he realized that the other party might be teasing him and Paimon,
But when Ying heard that he could bring such a strong teammate,

She was already used to Paimon's unreliability and the fact that he often had to face a bunch of enemies alone, so she almost agreed immediately.

——If he has such fighting power soon after birth, then when faced with a situation where he has to fight in multiple places,

This little guy can definitely increase the overall strength of the team several times!
"but"

While she was still hesitating, she heard Paimon beside her asking the question she was most worried about:

"——By the way, you said before that this little guy has a good appetite."

". Does that mean Ying and I can't afford to feed it and we'll have to starve together?!"

Paimon thought of that outcome and put his hands on his head, as if he had already imagined the miserable time of starving together in the future.

"Haha, please rest assured."

"Although it has a physical body, it is still essentially a high-level elemental life form.
If your daily food is not enough, you can absorb free elements to survive, and you won’t starve together. "

"——But if you want it to grow faster, I still suggest you feed it something normal according to Paimon's food standards.
Of course, it is not impossible to use some powerful monsters or elemental life forms such as slimes as snacks instead."

"Woo——"

After hearing this, the Chilong cub nodded and looked at Paimon sincerely with its two big eyes, indicating that it was not difficult to feed.

".Well, well, I can't think of any reason to refuse.
Ying, how about we take it with us?"

After seeing the opponent's strength, Paimon suddenly found that this little guy seemed quite cute.

I think it’s not impossible to give this little guy a chance to equalize his fighting power with mine.

fluorescent:"."

Although there are many benefits, if I don’t take risks to help find food in the future, I feel like the financial pressure will suddenly increase. What should I do?
Facing the double gaze attack from Paimon and the little guy,
Ying, who originally had this idea, finally put Mora's matter aside for the time being.
He sighed, nodded and agreed:

"——Okay, I'll take you with me on the trip."

"Great!"

Paimon, whose fighting power was greatly enhanced, cheered happily.

"——Hehe, since you can understand what we say, how about calling you Rice Ball from now on?"

"——As long as you follow Boss Paimon, no one will dare to bully you!"

"Gulu~"

The Chilong cub nodded.

Before officially joining, I happily received this name that is very distinctive of the team from my "predecessors".
