Chapter 249 Pet Schools
At this moment, Master Wei's body was still trembling violently within the barrier, and the amber patterns under his skin moved and spread like living things.
Each tremor was accompanied by a fine, teeth-grinding "crackling" sound, as if something was gnawing at the flesh and bones.
Dou Dou gripped Jiang Li's hand tightly, her eyes welling up with tears. They had already lost Grandma Xin, and if Master Wei...
Doubao and the sausage huddled together, their little faces pale, but they stubbornly refused to look away.
Inside the barrier, the cracking sounds coming from Master Wei's body became more frequent, even making Jiang Li feel somewhat uncomfortable.
They couldn't help but imagine that scene, like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.
Countless subtle "thoughts," imbued with primal hunger and a cold, orderly compass, flooded into Master Wei's mind like a tidal wave.
That is the will of the insect.
It is not a single type, but a mixture of countless kinds.
They are chaotic and complex, yet under some deeper set of rules, they vaguely constitute a vast and silent "kingdom".
And he seems to be looking down on this country from God's perspective.
Either accept it... or... be hollowed out...
Master Wei gritted his teeth, recalling the struggle and expectation in Dou Dou's eyes when she handed him the medicine.
I remembered that innocent yet determined face when he was offering the steamed bun and the grilled sausage to me.
"I promised..."
His consciousness was screaming.
As if in response to his determination, the swelling under his skin gradually subsided, the texture gradually disappeared, and his consciousness gradually returned!
"puff!"
A soft sound came not from inside his body, but from the palm of his right hand.
A piece of amber-colored vein suddenly cracked, but instead of bleeding, a small drop of viscous, golden-yellow, translucent resinous substance seeped out.
The drop of "resin" fell on the grass, but instead of seeping into the soil, it quickly solidified and deformed, transforming in a few breaths into a lifelike amber beetle the size of a thumb!
The beetle's carapace is smooth with a warm luster, and its compound eyes are two darker black spots.
It shook its thin elytra, making a soft rustling sound, then tilted its head, its six slender legs embracing Master Wei's slightly trembling fingers and gently rubbing against them.
A strange, faint yet clear "connection" entered Master Wei's consciousness through his fingertips.
Immediately afterwards, "resin" began to seep from his left palm, solidifying into an amber mantis.
The two insects remained quietly in Master Wei's palm, without making any unusual movements.
The murky light in Master Wei's eyes gradually settled and returned to clarity.
Only occasionally, a fleeting amber halo would flash deep within his pupils.
Jiang Li immediately removed the barrier, and Dou Dou rushed to Wei Fuzi, who was lying on the ground, anxiously checking on his condition.
Doubao and Kaochang were also quite frightened and were equally concerned about Master Wei's condition.
"...Master Wei?"
Dou Dou's voice trembled slightly, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Master Wei's hand.
The amber beetle seemed to be provoked by DouDou's behavior and immediately went into a defensive posture, its wings and armor began to tremble.
Master Wei immediately tensed up, communicated with him, and calmed him down.
He then looked at the group with a somewhat blank expression.
He tried to use his mind.
The amber beetle and amber mantis immediately took flight and landed on his shoulder, their elytra slightly open.
"I'm fine!"
Not wanting to worry them, Master Wei seemed to have said everything he had to say in a year tonight.
He raised his eyes to look at his anxious companions, his lips twitching with difficulty as if he wanted to say something more, but he held back.
DouDou hugged her tightly, saying, "I thought... I thought..."
The tears of DouDou and the other two were already out of control.
Master Wei's face flushed red, along with the two insects on his shoulders, and he was at a loss for what to do.
Fu Xiaojian was also keeping a close eye on the situation from a distance, and only looked away when he saw that Master Wei was alright.
Two extraordinary moments in one night.
Which convoy has such a foundation? He glanced intentionally or unintentionally across the water; the Land Cruiser's expression must have been even more intriguing!
……
The tears of the group finally stopped.
They all started teasing the two beetles without prior arrangement.
Doubao squeezed to the front, looked at the majestic amber beetle, and cautiously stretched out her finger, wanting to touch it.
Master Wei subconsciously used his mind to make the two beetles restrain their ferocity.
DouDou, however, preferred the amber-colored praying mantis.
"Can I touch it?" she asked cautiously.
The question was directed at both Master Wei and the praying mantis.
The mantis tilted its triangular head and quietly let DouDou's fingers gently touch its smooth back.
"It's so cold..." DouDou whispered.
Master Wei's feelings were somewhat complicated, but mostly he felt fortunate.
DouDou has a cow and a crow, and he has two beetles.
In some ways, they are all pet-related.
This made him feel that the distance between him and DouDou had not increased.
Even closer.
When the amber mantis was touched, it slightly raised its forelegs and claws, but did not attack. It simply rested its head lightly on DouDou's fingertips, as if in a strange and peculiar response.
As Master Wei watched this scene, the last trace of unease in his heart slowly subsided.
He felt the faint yet strong connection between himself and the two beetles, as if he had two silent guardians.
"They're so cute!" The sausage wanted to touch them but didn't dare, feeling both scared and curious.
"Can they fly?" DouDou was so worried that she didn't notice the two little guys had already flown by.
Master Wei nodded and tried to give the order in his mind.
The two beetles immediately flapped their wings and took flight, nimbly twirling in the air. One landed back on his shoulder, while the other landed in DouDou's palm.
DouDou stopped crying and started laughing, and DouBao and the grilled sausage moved closer.
The three children chattered excitedly around the insect, seemingly oblivious to everything else.
Looking at the children, a complex emotion flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.
The night grew deeper.
Xu Si remained seated on the car roof, his starry eyes gleaming faintly in the darkness.
The laughter of DouDou and the others, though seemingly close at hand, sounded distant and indistinct to their ears.
He closed his eyes, activated his Star Vein at full power, and focused his exploration on what lay beneath the water.
However, he still gained nothing, but he was not disappointed.
……
On the third day on the grassland, the blood-red sun shone as brightly as ever.
Xu Si woke up early in the morning and was surprised to find...
Qiu Biao, along with a few others, actually began planning with the ordinary people opposite to reclaim land on the famous lakeside.
Xu Si watched with great interest, Fu Xiaojian watched with great interest, and all the extraordinary beings watched with great interest.
Ignoring the gazes of others, those people carried out their "business" with utmost seriousness and focus.
"Didn't we say the convoy was going to make a trip today? Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Xu Si teased.
As the team leader, Fu Xiaojian should handle this matter.
Everyone has their own aspirations; why force them?
Fu Xiaojian was in a good mood after the team gained two new extraordinary sequences.
I had expected this, and I didn't care. In fact, I was even a little happy about it.
It's a cause for celebration that the unsettling elements in the convoy were able to break away on their own.
