Wet viviparity

Chapter 8: Spiritual Tea, Testing on Rats
At night, Ji Ming lay motionless.

A black bat as big as a basin and a great owl (the ancient name for owl) nimbly broke out from the hazy night and fell into his field of vision.

The black bat didn't even look at him as it impatiently flew down from the crack in the roof.

The big owl turned its head and looked at him carefully, but did not pay much attention to him as it was soon attracted by the gambling games in the temple.

Ji Ming nervously twisted his crow head, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to look down at the situation in the temple.

At this moment, Bo Ni Gong took out a dried corpse with broken legs from his big belly and enthusiastically introduced it to the group of monsters that had rushed over.

On one side of the corpse, the captured mortal was huddled aside.

This poor man would chuckle sometimes and weep sometimes, with no light in his eyes, and seemed close to madness.

When Ji Ming saw this, he sneered in his heart.

This Bo Ni Gong is obviously copying the previous gambling game in order to attract more monsters to participate and place bets.

But he wouldn't really think that everyone is like him, Ji Ming, with strong psychological qualities and a treasure like "wet egg fetus" to support him!

Ji Ming has been monitoring here for a long time, his purpose is to get his corpse from his previous life.

If he could obtain this corpse and absorb the evil spirit in it once again, perhaps in this life, he could quickly embark on the path of becoming a monster.

At present, since he has no master to teach him, this is the most likely and fastest way.

But this idea is too idealistic.

Now it seems that Bonni Gong values ​​this corpse more than imagined, so his chances of obtaining the corpse are extremely slim.

Ji Ming's gaze shifted from the corpse to Shu Si who was blasted out of the temple. When one plan failed, he came up with another.

Although Shu Si is not very smart, judging from his words and actions, he is a well-grounded person. Perhaps we can learn something about the world of demons and monsters from him.

Thinking of this, Ji Ming felt that it was feasible. He immediately flapped his wings and flew into the night to begin preparations.

The moon rises in the west, and the night dew is heavy.

A slightly bloated rat was crawling carefully in the bushes, its shiny fur wet from the dew along the way.

Rat Four's heart was filled with bitterness. Ever since he lost the protection and care of his third brother, he was so frightened even on his way back to the Hu family.

In the night sky, a "big black-feathered bird" that almost blended into the darkness was circling above his head, and from time to time it would swoop down from a low altitude and fly over his head.

He had no choice but to crawl forward and hide carefully.

When feeling depressed, no matter who you are, you can always think of many unpleasant things.

The scene in which Mr. Bonni was so unreasonable and rude and expelled him without any mercy could not be erased from Shu Si's mind.

He was so angry that he dug his front paws deep into the soil and kept breaking off the grass roots to vent his anger.

"Gah!"

An unpleasant cry started up in the air.

Shu Si really couldn't figure out which big bird had the ability to make such a call. Perhaps only the young master of the Hu family, who was well versed in the calls of hundreds of birds, could tell it apart.

The black bird flying low in the sky ahead swooped down once again with its wings spread out.

This dive seemed different. Its pair of claws were holding tightly onto a furry, living creature.

As it swooped down, Shu Si clearly saw the pair of bird claws loosen, allowing the living creature under its claws to fall accurately in front of him.

The thing fell on the thick grass slope and rolled a few times. It was not injured at all, but was a little panicked.

Shu Si looked at it curiously for a few more times. When he saw the creature stand up, revealing its yellow skin, small ears, and fluffy tail in the moonlight, he felt something was wrong.

"Squeak~"

The creature's eyes met Shu Si's, and the panic in its eyes was quickly replaced by a hint of viciousness.

"What a disaster! How could I meet this yellow wolf here? I will definitely die."

Shu Si felt a sinking feeling in his heart and cried out in pain.

Just as the yellow-skinned fox on the slope was rushing over excitedly, Shu Si performed an illusion and his body expanded several times, about half a person's height.

The yellow fox was so cunning that he sniffed with his wet nose and detected a hint of timidity in the mouse's scent, and immediately rushed forward at a faster speed.

When Shu Si saw that he had not frightened the yellow wolf, he quickly took off his round hat, nervously poured out some scraps, and began to search among them, as if he was looking for a life-saving straw.

Ji Ming was hovering at a low altitude, watching Shu Si's every move.

He deliberately threw a weasel in front of Shu Si, with the purpose of seeing how capable Shu Si was.

The yellow fox appeared and disappeared in the bushes, and in the blink of an eye it rushed in front of Rat Si and pounced on him and bit him before he could find his "life-saving straw".

Rat Four's illusion was broken at once, and its half-human-high body shrank back. It wrestled with the yellow-skinned creature, and they made squeaking noises at each other.

"I have almost finished the test."

Ji Ming thought.

"Gah!"

A hoarse crow's cry was heard, which frightened the yellow-skinned cat. It quickly let go of the rat and tried to run away.

Shu Si was beaten so hard that his eyes were dazed. He suddenly felt the yellow wolf let go of him, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget.

A shiny black claw suddenly pressed down without any warning, directly hooking the yellow wolf's head, with its claws digging deeply into its skull.

Then he pulled the whole yellow wolf's head up with a sudden force, and the body of the yellow wolf under the head became completely dead and limp.

On the protruding rock, a black bird of prey was flapping its wings and landing. It grabbed the yellow wolf's head with one leg and pressed it on the rock, looking around at the mouse with its sharp eyes.

"Your Majesty!"

Shu Si bowed in front of the protruding rock.

Ji Ming dropped the yellow leather under his claws, grabbed a piece of wood bark, and flew in front of Shu Si.

Shu Si looked nervously at the wooden veneer thrown in front of him, only to see six ancient seal characters engraved crookedly on it - making a clay tablet.

When Ji Ming saw Shu Si reading the words on the wood, he knew that this was indeed a rat spirit who had read books.

"Your Majesty, have you not yet refined your transverse bone, so it is difficult for you to make tongue sounds?"

Seeing the black bird of prey lightly nodding its head, Shu Si breathed a sigh of relief and began to secretly wonder what the other party's purpose was in teasing him.

Black Raptor asked him to make a clay tablet, probably to facilitate communication with him. Why not give him a hand, perhaps he could gain some good karma with him.

"Since Your Majesty can write seal characters, you must have learned it from your family.

My master, Old Master Hu, likes knowledgeable people like you the most.

Why don't I introduce you to one or two things? I can definitely get you a cup of magical tea to help you get rid of your cross-bone pain and have smooth communication."

Ji Ming was somewhat tempted, but due to his distrust of Shu Si, he hesitated in the end.

"If you don't believe me, I will go and get you a cup of spiritual tea. But please prove it for me in front of the old master after your transverse bone is dissolved."

"Gah!"

Ji Ming exclaimed, very approvingly.

This rat wasn't as stupid as he imagined!

Could it be that the experience between life and death just now made this rat suddenly wise?
