Chapter 299.3: Little Ball of Coal That Foolishly Revealed Itself
“Alright alright. I was just joking. Don’t get so tense.”
Little Monster laughed softly, and then continued to say: “All spirit beasts have their own natural predators. The strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest is the natural order of things. One reason those strange birds have entrenched themselves there in that gorge is firstly because it is a natural habitat for them, and the second reason is because no predator has appeared in there to prey on them.”
“I don’t think we brought any powerful spirit beasts with us this time! Should we get someone to bring one out from the Dark Lands?” Xun Luo opened his mouth to ask.
Little Monster let out a scoffing laugh. “No one besides our Overlord himself is able to bring out any of those spirits beasts in our forbidden grounds.”
“That’s true.” Xun Luo then gave his shoulders a helpless shrug. How could he have actually forgotten that.
And they could not possibly ask the Overlord himself to make a trip back…..
Besides Lou Jun Yao, Qing Bei was not on familiar terms with any of these people, unable to converse more than a few words with them. Hence, he was just sitting quietly by the side, his mind trying to think of a way to deal with the situation when he suddenly felt a light tug pulling at the corner of his robes.
He instinctively lowered his head to look but did not see anything there, and did not pay it much mind.
But a short while later, the corner of his robes was pulled on again. He quickly turned to look down once more, puzzlement creasing up his brows.
What is going on? Did he just imagine that? ?
“Uncle Little Bei.”
A very soft voice sounded in Qing Bei’s ears, and he could not help but feel rather startled.
This voice…..
Before he could think any further about it, he saw Little Monster on the other side suddenly narrow his eyes, and his scarlet eyes were scathing as he turned to stare over at Qing Bei. “Whatever you are, show yourself.”
The tugging at the corner of his robes suddenly stopped, and something within that seemingly empty space seemed to be frantically trying to slip away. Unfortunately, just as it was about to rush its way out of the tent, a swath of purple cloth suddenly blocked its way forward.
“Ouchy! It hurts!”
A little puerile sounding voice yelped pitifully in pain, as an unidentifiable black ball crashed to the ground with a thud. It was probably because of its overly rotund body that it went on to roll several times around, resulting in a highly comical sight.
Qing Bei was the first person to turn and look. What he saw immediately caused his eyes to widen in surprise. “Meatball?”
Upon hearing that, the little fella climbed to its feet, its large azure eyes blinking as it looked pitifully at Qing Bei. “Uncle~”
“It’s really you!”
Qing Bei went over and scooped the little fella up into his arms, his demeanor quickly becoming excited. “How did you come to appear here? You have never left Qing Yu’s side before have you? !”
