Chapter 12

This was the first time Wang Ye and Xiao Jiu had seen the dark fog strange god, but they felt as if they had seen it many times already.

The shadow attacked, and Wang Ye, who had long been prepared, managed to see the creature’s rough figure.

It was a deformed monster that was shrouded in shadows.

It had a pair of fleshy wings and the body of an eagle. However, its head was shaped like a harp, and its mouth was like strings of flesh tinted with minced meat and blood.

Seeing this, Wang Ye’s sanity points dropped wildly.

“It’s too f*cking ugly!”

It was truly too ugly to the point Wang Ye felt a little dizzy.

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu found it equally ugly.

However, it was full of courage and was fearless, especially after possessing the genetic characteristic of Strange God Nemesis!

In an instant, Xiao Jiu flew and as if it had long used Sky-dance, the feathers on its body abruptly flew out. More than a hundred feathers were like sharp blades that were flickering with a silver radiance and enveloped the song demon instantly!

“Low-level strange gods aren’t that strong. Their main strength lies in the power of strangeness they possess. For example, the song demon’s voice. Pets with weaker soul growth, even if it’s a Supreme class level pet, will easily fall for its trap and be quickly torn apart into food. In addition, Xu Hu had also said while we were on our way here that the strange gods have the ability to reform their bodies, which means they have to be killed at least twice. This is why the low-level strange gods are extremely difficult to deal with. If they didn’t have any powers of strangeness nor the ability to resurrect, even a level 1 or level 2 pet would have the chance to kill them, though the prerequisite is for the pet to use a soul-type skill,” Information flashed through Wang Ye’s mind.

Almost at the same time, along with Xiao Jiu’s proficient realm Skyful of Feathers and the boost from Sky-dance, the song demon was torn into pieces in an instant, but not a single drop of blood was seen!

“It might resurrect! Be careful!” Wang Ye immediately said.

As soon as he finished saying this, the song demon’s body, which was shrouded in shadows, immediately let out the dark fog, and its body parts began to recover.

But Xiao Jiu didn’t give it a chance.

It flapped its wings, and the hundreds of feathers immediately turned, once again cutting the song demon’s body into countless pieces.

“Be careful and cut its body into minced meat!” Wang Ye quickly instructed.

There was no other way, the creature was very dangerous.

Who knew what other tricks it would play?

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu who had just been about to retract its feathers once again controlled the feathers and repeatedly cut the body of the song demon.

At this time, the white silkworm behind Wang Ye seemed to have heard something and suddenly moved.

Soon, the song demon gradually turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated in the sky.

Only a string of flesh that looked like a zither string was left. It was wrapped like a meatball and looked like a bead.

“A strange core. It’s said to be left behind after the death of a strange god and contains some power of strangeness of the strange god,” Wang Ye walked over and did not pick it up immediately. Instead, he observed it for a while.

After thinking for a moment, he plucked a lotus leaf from the Sacred Flame Nether Lotus and carefully wrapped the bead up.

“Done! Low-level strange god? That’s it?” Wang Ye patted Xiao Jiu’s head and grinned, “We’ve been doing this for decades in the simulation, so isn’t it easy for you to kill a low-level strange god in an instant?”

That being said, Xiao Jiu had also almost used up all of its spiritual energy.

Skyful of Feathers was a skill with a high realm, but correspondingly, the spiritual energy consumed when using the skill was also very high, especially when it was used at full power. The green sparrow would run out of spiritual energy after only using it a few times.

After all, Xiao Jiu was only a four-star pet.

At this stage, there weren’t many four-star level-one pets that could advance a beginner soul-type skill to the proficient realm, not to mention that the Sky-dance, an advanced skill, had also been advanced to the proficient realm.

Adding the two together consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

With Xiao Jiu’s four hundred spiritual energy value, the skills could only be used a few times.

Once the song demon died, the feeling of being watched by the darkness immediately disappeared.

“Next is this insect. Well, it doesn’t seem like an insect, rather, it seems like a cocoon,” Wang Ye pondered, “According to my speculation, could it be that the reason why the Baisen Secret Realm appeared was because of this insect? It caused the spatial fluctuations and triggered the dark fog, which caused the secret realm to be formed. At the same time, it also attracted the strange god in the dark fog to come. However, why didn’t the song demon attack this insect?”

Wang Ye frowned.

He felt that there were a lot of questions.

“As soon as I came here, it attacked me as if it was guarding something… Could it be that it wanted to wait for the life inside the cocoon to hatch before eating it? Raising a Gu?” Wang Ye could only think of such a possibility.

“This white cocoon… it’s so big, I can’t take it with me. Forget it, I’ll search the surroundings and leave after I’ve found some treasures. I’ll leave the rest to the other investigators to investigate later. I don’t have the chance to run a reality simulation right now, so I’d better be careful. Besides…” After thinking for a while, Wang Ye shook his head and let Xiao Jiu search the surroundings to see if there were any treasures.

Xiao Jiu chirped a few times and searched the surroundings with Wang Ye for half an hour. They only found some relatively rare materials.

Compared to the fruit and the leaf, Wang Ye felt that they were very much inferior, but they should be able to sell for a lot of money.

“It’s about time to leave,” Wang Ye thought.

Suddenly, Xiao Jiu chirped twice and flew to the cocoon, using its beak to quickly peck at it a few times.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!” It pecked angrily.

Wang Ye was speechless.

It was simply furious because of its inability.

In the scripted world, it couldn’t beat the green little insect, so it wanted to bully the weak in reality.

However, not long after the green sparrow pecked the cocoon, the cocoon suddenly jumped, and silver-white threads immediately grew that trapped Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu was immediately shocked, and subconsciously used Skyful of Feathers, making its feathers turn into sharp blades in an attempt to cut through the threads.

The strange thing was that the feathers, which could even cut a low-level strange god into pieces, were now just passing through the threads with no effect at all!

Immediately after, the front of the cocoon began to open like a huge abyss mouth, pulling Xiao Jiu into it.

“Stupid bird!” Wang Ye was stunned and so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.

“Could it be that it’s hungry?” Wang Ye took a deep breath, and as if he had thought of something, hurriedly took out the golden fruit and threw it into the huge abyss mouth.

Gulp!

The pulling on Xiao Jiu immediately stopped.

The white threads gradually loosened.

“Chirp, chirp!” As if on fire, Xiao Jiu angrily chirped at the cocoon.

“Hurry up and come back!”

Xiao Jiu flew back and landed on Wang Ye’s shoulder. It pointed at the cocoon with its wings and chirped softly.

“Stop chirping. One of my treasures is gone, just like that!” Wang Ye glared at the green sparrow unhappily.

It seemed that the cocoon needed to be fed.

Wang Ye had wanted to leave, but now he didn’t want to.

A scene that he hadn’t encountered in the reality simulation was now playing.

“…I can’t always rely on the simulator. Sometimes, I have to make a judgment myself,” Wang Ye pondered for a few seconds before throwing the strange core into the mouth.

“Gulp!” After the cocoon swallowed it, it squirmed twice and immediately spat it out.

“F*ck, you’re even picky about food, huh?” Wang Ye was speechless.

Following this, Wang Ye threw in all the materials that he had collected just now as if he was feeding a pig.

Some of the materials were eaten by the cocoon while some were spat out.

However, the blood-like light around its body was getting weaker and weaker.

Wang Ye thought for a while, then took out the strange leaf and threw it in.

This time, things seemed to be different.

The moment the leaf was thrown in, the blood-like light cocoon disappeared.

Only a white and fat silkworm that was emitting moonlight was left. Then, it began to shrink.

It turned into a slender white silkworm that was more than ten centimeters long. It had a horn on its forehead that looked like a deer horn.

It quietly floated in the air.

Not long after, the white silkworm’s eyes suddenly flew open and it looked around with its eyes that were like black sesames.

Then, with a swish, it twisted its body and floated to Wang Ye’s side, letting out a soft cry, “Huji!”
