Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Chapter 30 Taotie



The floating island in the spiritual space is different from the previous simple scene of only one piece of land and one room.

After Xu Yue's drastic transformation, it has begun to become full of life, like a small farmyard.

Nowadays, the length and width of the floating island are more than ten feet each. In addition to the forging room, a small bedroom has been added to it. Opposite the two rooms is a lush jujube tree. Under the canopy, a square shape can be vaguely seen. The stone table has four small round piers arranged in four directions.

Xu Yue was sitting on the round pier. There was a pot of tea on the square table in front of him, and the porcelain cup was filled with mist.

Not far away, a strange beast the size of a puppy fell to the ground, its back leaning against the jujube tree, its little tail flapping up and down on the side.

Pulling the milky-white chain around its neck, the alien beast looked helpless. It raised its head and looked at Xu Yue, who was meditating on the genuine tea above, with a helpless tone.

"I said, there's no need for this."

"After all, I was split from your mind. I can be considered a clone more or less. As for being tied up like a dog?"

"Haha, clone?"

Xu Yuepi, who was sitting on the round pier, replied with a smile. He did not have a clone that could think independently and was not under his control.

After some conversation, he roughly figured out the appearance of the strange beast. This was one of the hidden dangers of rashly absorbing an overly powerful spiritual body.

Any seemingly good gift has corresponding disadvantages hidden behind it.

Pure mental power that is so powerful that even oneself has difficulty absorbing it accumulates in the mind. After being exposed to the chaotic thoughts of the human body, it becomes the best breeding ground for the birth of consciousness.

Especially in the previous actual combat mode, the strong emotional fluctuations caused by dying in bloody battles provided rich nourishment for the birth of this new consciousness.

Finally, under the stimulation and guidance of the Taotie statue, this thing was born.

It is essentially the product of the fusion of Xu Yue's mixed thoughts and the professor's pure spiritual power.

This is similar to the process by which sperm and eggs combine to create new life.

From a certain perspective, Xu Yue is its father. Of course, Xu Yue will never admit this.

Besides, this thing is not considered life in the strict sense. It is at most an independent thought. What it said before about the original sin of gluttony and the hidden arrows of the seven souls is just to put gold on one's face.

As long as Xu Yue doesn't give it a chance to grow at will, under the constraints of the spiritual barrier, it can't even leave the spiritual space, and seizing the body is nonsense, and it won't cause much trouble.

After thinking about this, Xu Yue's heart settled down due to the previous incident. This time he learned a lesson. He needs to be more cautious when using his talents in the future, especially when devouring powerful enemies.

However, he did not intend to kill this little thing right now. This thing was of great research value and seemed to have other uses.

Staring at the dejected beast below, Xu Yue's eyes were a little playful.

The strange beast next to the jujube tree twisted its body unnaturally, and its scalp was numb from being stared at by Xu Yue.

"Uh, boss, you are not planning to kill me, are you? We are from the same roots."

Ignore the strange beast that is playing tricks. Although this thing comes from him, its personality is very different from his.

"What are your abilities?"

After listening to Xu Yue's inquiry, the alien beast rolled its eyes in a circle, stood up from a slumped position, put all four feet on the ground, raised its head forward, and spoke proudly.

"handsome!"

Xu Yue said nothing, but his eyes began to narrow slightly.

The body of the alien beast that was in the process of concave shape suddenly stiffened. It felt the growing chill in the eyes above, and hesitated for a moment.

He actually turned his head and bit into the jujube tree behind him. His sharp teeth intertwined and a large piece of bark was torn off.

The rough and hard large pieces of bark are like crispy biscuits in the mouth of the alien beast. It chewed and said vaguely:

"It doesn't matter if you can eat anything."

After eating the bark, the hair on his body began to grow rapidly, and the mottled fur that had been hit by Xu Yue with a hammer began to become shiny and smooth again.

'Recovering quickly through eating is a good material for a human shield. I think you can grow quickly after eating a lot, Taotie? ’

Xu Yue looked at the strange beast below that was happily stroking his fur with his claws, and silently analyzed the relevant information in his heart.

After admiring itself, the strange beast sat back down by the jujube tree. It probably guessed that Xu Yue had no intention of killing it yet, otherwise it wouldn't talk so much.

He stretched out a claw to pick at the gap between his teeth and continued to speak.

"Besides, I seem to be able to induce gluttony in people's hearts, but..."

As it spoke, it used its paws to pull the milky white chain tightly tied around its neck.

"Now that I'm tied up with this thing, I can't use it to its full potential."

"But! In fact, these are not the point."

"The key point is that the appearance is handsome. Boss, the four ancient evils, Taotie!"

"Don't you need a mount? I'm here to help you in times of need. As long as you keep letting me out and find me a body, I will have a mighty and domineering mount. My appearance is no better than that of a wolf-dog. Haha, something like that is strong.”

The alien beast spoke louder and louder, and later even stood up and started spinning around, intending to show Xu Yue his majestic and heroic appearance from 360 degrees without blind spots.

Combined with the swelling on its face that has not subsided and the pair of broken horns on its head, it looks quite funny.

However, this guy's strong desire to survive was clearly revealed in the display just now.

"Heh~"

After Xu Yue looked the alien beast up and down, he let out a chuckle with unknown meaning. He did not have the slightest intention to respond to the self-promotional display of the alien beast.

The four evil beasts in ancient times were all evil beasts.

Hun Chao is the son of Emperor Hong's family. He conceals his righteousness and hides as a thief. He likes to do evil things. He refers to a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong.

Zhuanxu's son, Yongzhu, is proud, ruthless and virtuous, and refers to a stubborn and unyielding person.

Qiongqi is the son of the Shaohao family. He destroys trust and loyalty, advocates evil words, and refers to those who are treacherous.

Taotie is the son of the Jinyun family. He accumulates wealth and does not know the rules. It refers to a greedy and immoderate person.

These four are all concrete products of the evil of human nature. No matter how much this strange beast is related to Taotie, its nature is by no means as funny and harmless as it appears now.

The current posture is just to survive.

Xu Yue was not naive enough to think that he would be able to get a high-quality mount from a fight. The scene when this strange beast was not yet fully awakened, complaining about hunger while rushing towards him, was still vivid in his mind.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Xu Yue didn't reply for a long time, Yishou couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and asked with a flattering face.

"Let's see, you stay here honestly for now, and I'll see how you behave later."

Xu Yue did not clearly say whether he agreed or refused. He could not relax his control over this gluttonous beast until he found a way to absolutely restrain it.

Now that the matters here have been initially dealt with, it's time for him to go back to his exclusive room and have a good night's rest. He has been running around almost all the time from entering the park to now.

Before leaving, he glanced at a hole in the jujube tree caused by missing bark, and he couldn't help but pause.

"No gnawing. If I find anything missing on the floating island when I come back, you know the consequences."

"Uh-huh."

Taotie sat upright, his eyes wide open, and he nodded obediently. After turning into a cub, it was not as ferocious as before. Even the long and narrow red eyes before had now become dark and round.

Xu Yue stared at its seemingly innocent eyes without comment, then disappeared after giving a warning.

The entire spiritual space became dead again, with only one tree and one beast showing some signs of life.

After a long time, a whisper came from under the jujube tree.

"I'm a little hungry...hehe..."
