Gods: Start with Goblins

Li Ruo's smile stiffened a little, and his eyes suddenly became distant.

"I know it's impossible, but I can't just sit back and watch what I see. I have to do something to feel at ease."

Ye Man pursed her lips, her eyes filled with indescribable complexity.

"You are the strangest demon I have ever seen, and the only demon I like. It would be great if other demons were like you."

Li Ruo was quite optimistic and nodded sullenly.

"That day will come."

Luo Dan just stood there with his arms folded, watching, and had no intention of disturbing him. After traveling together for some time, he finally understood how strong his sense of belief was.

That night, the three of them found another cave to rest.

Because there were enough barriers set up outside, the three of them didn't have too many concerns and fell asleep one by one.

However, a rustling sound came out of the darkness, and it was Xiaobai.

Xiaobai couldn't sleep, so he took advantage of the time when the others were resting at night and secretly ran out to play with a fox.

It is a lively and active nature at this time, but it has been traveling all the time these days and Luodan has been watching it closely, not giving it any time to be lazy and play. It only has a little free time at night.

The newborn fox is curious about everything outside and can't wait to go out and play.

While playing, it saw a fruit that was glowing green.

The fruit seemed to have infinite attraction to it. The little fox couldn't help but sneak over and swallowed it in one gulp.

As a result of this swallow, it fell into a coma the next second.

The next day, when Luodan and others woke up, they found that the little fox was gone.

"Xiaobai is missing. Have you seen Xiaobai?"

Luodan would often look at it and sometimes tease the little fox.

The little fox has been very naughty recently and likes to stick to him, but for some reason, it didn't lick his face this morning, nor did it whimper and beg for food. This is very abnormal.

Sure enough, there was no trace of Xiaobai at hand, nor in the space.

After hearing Luo Dan's question and seeing his serious expression, the other two became very anxious.

"What? The little fox is missing? Wasn't it still in your arms yesterday? And you set up a barrier. It's impossible for someone to kidnap it, right?"

Luo Dan also shook his head.

"I know my barrier very well. If anyone enters it, we will definitely sense it immediately. But I didn't sense it. Maybe Xiaobai sneaked out by himself. This little fox has always been very lively and curious about the outside world. It's all my fault that I was soft-hearted yesterday and didn't put it into the space. I guess it ran out last night."

As he spoke, Luo Dan couldn't help but feel a little more guilty.

"Brother Luo, please don't say it's not your fault. Xiaobai is lively and just born. He often goes out to play with you on his back. Even if you keep an eye on him, it's impossible to be completely thorough. Now is not the time to blame yourself. It's most important to find Xiaobai first."

Hearing this, Luo Dan suppressed his other thoughts and nodded.

"You're right."

Li Ruo followed and moved forward.

"I'll help you too. If we go out and look for it together, we'll definitely find it. Mr. Luo, since Xiaobai is your spiritual pet, I'm sure you have a connection with it. Why don't you try to feel it?"

Lodan nodded.

"I almost forgot in my haste."

The reaction between the master and the spirit beast is a good thing.

He closed his eyes, as if searching seriously. After a while, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of sharp eyes.

"I sensed it. Go in this direction."

After saying that, he immediately flew up and headed in that direction. The other two people looked at each other and immediately followed without any delay.

Finally, after traveling for a long time, they finally saw Xiaobai.

"Look, Master Luo, I see Xiaobai, it's right there!"

Luo Dan looked in the direction where Li Ruo's finger was pointing and felt a little relieved.

"Yes, it's Xiaobai!"

And everyone saw that Xiaobai seemed to be lying on the ground motionless. This state made several people feel a little scared and worried.

Ye Man muttered to herself.

"What happened to Xiaobai? There's no movement at all. It can't be..."

She realized that the next words she said were unlucky, so she didn't finish.

Luo Dan pursed his lips, still unwilling to believe that Xiaobai would be in trouble. However, when he landed from the air, he quickened his pace and ran towards Xiaobai. It was obvious that he was also very anxious.

"noob."

He called softly and picked up the little fox gently. He immediately checked its breath and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the little fox was breathing and its chest was rising and falling normally, so it should not be dead.

Ye Man also noticed this.

"The little fox is still breathing normally, so it should be fine. No, why is it unconscious?"

This question hit the nail on the head, and Luo Dan showed a hint of concern on his face.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai?"

He called out a few more times and even shook its body gently, but there was no response. However, the little fox's breathing and pulse were normal, and he really couldn't guess the reason.

Just when a group of people were puzzled, Li Ruo's expression suddenly changed.

"careful!"

Then he stretched out his hand and pulled the two of them to another place.

"what happened?"

They both asked at the same time.

Only then did they realize that there was a poisonous giant python's head right under their feet. They didn't know when it had ambushed there. If it weren't for Li Ruo, perhaps all three of them would have been bitten by its venomous fangs.

Ye Man patted his chest, still feeling frightened.

"Oh my god, this is a poisonous python. When did this python appear next to us? I didn't even notice it."

Luo Dan's eyes darkened and his expression looked very unhappy.

“With our level of cultivation, if there really is a giant python approaching us, there is no way we wouldn’t be able to sense it, unless this giant python has been here from the beginning…” Ye Man also understood the key and covered her mouth in surprise.

"You mean, the giant python has been lurking here for a long time?"

"But we just came here. No matter how smart the python is, it can't predict the future, unless..."

Before he could finish his words, Luo Dan took over.

"Unless, its target was not us from the beginning, but Xiaobai. It seems that if we hadn't appeared in time, the giant python might have swallowed Xiaobai in one gulp."

As he spoke of the latter part, his face became extremely solemn and he was in a very bad mood. He didn't dare to imagine this situation, nor even to foresee it.

When Luo Dan thought about Xiaobai, who was just born not long ago, being swallowed by a giant python without knowing anything about it and being swallowed by other monsters, he felt extremely uncomfortable and disgusted.

When he looked at the giant python, there was no good expression on his face.

"You actually dared to covet my spiritual pet. It seems I can't keep it!"

Upon hearing this, the other two also drew their weapons and wanted to assist him. Firstly, they wanted to help Luodan, and secondly, they themselves had just been in life-threatening situations and naturally hated this.

So, now that they had encountered this poisonous giant python, they had to get rid of it no matter what. The few people looked at each other and went towards the giant python tacitly.

The giant python also treated them as food and swept its huge tail over to them. Unfortunately, although the tail was huge, it looked clumsy. The three of them flew over and avoided the tail.

The next second, everyone released their own skills.

Whether it was the formation, the beast pet, or the demonic energy, they all fell on the giant python.

The giant python was no match for them and was beaten badly. The poisonous giant python probably didn't expect that it would die in such a miserable way.

These people seemed to have some deep hatred against it, and they used their skills on it recklessly, leaving it no chance to escape.

Finally, in pain and wailing, it fell into a coma and died.

The huge snake's body was covered with wounds, looking quite ferocious, but the faces of the few people who fell to the ground did not show a trace of pity or sympathy, only indifference and disgust.

"After getting rid of this giant python, I think Brother Luo can put his mind at ease."

Luo Dan nodded. Although he didn't say anything, his expression did look better.

"The only thing left is Xiaobai's matter. Master Luo, have you found out what's wrong with Xiaobai? Why has he been in a coma? Was he attacked by a giant python? Could he be poisoned?"

Luodan touched Xiaobai's smooth fur, but his eyes suddenly relaxed and he shook his head.

"No, when I was fighting the giant python just now, I also took the opportunity to check Xiaobai's body. It was not injured. On the contrary, there was a huge amount of energy in its body that was being refined. As expected, it stole some spiritual fruit when it ran outside. It takes a huge amount of energy and a long time to refine it, so it fell into a coma."

As he spoke, the worry between his brows disappeared and he let out a breath.

"Fortunately, this is not a bad thing for Xiaobai. After he recovers from his coma and refines the spiritual energy, he will slowly wake up. Moreover, his cultivation will be further improved. Little fox, you always make me worry. Fortunately, this time it is a blessing in disguise."

As Luo Dan explained, he made another complaint at the end.

After hearing what he said, Ye Man and Li Ruo almost felt relieved and smiled at each other.

Seeing Xiaobai's cute and adorable appearance, Ye Man couldn't help but touch her with her hand.

"Alas, I didn't expect that our Xiaobai is such a lucky little fox. He can eat spiritual fruits whenever he runs out. Xiaobai is so blessed, his future cultivation will definitely not be bad."

There is no one who doesn't like others praising their pet, let alone someone as protective as Luodan.

Hearing Ye Man say this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, I hope Xiaobai will be fine in the future. I don't ask for anything, I just hope it can grow up safely and healthily."

After all, it is different from other spiritual pets. This one was born to be taken care of by you. In the process of getting along with it, you not only treat it as a pet, but also treat it like a child.

Therefore, Luodan did not think about how much strength he would rely on from Xiaobai. He hoped to raise Xiaobai and make him live as long as possible.

Of course, it would be great if Xiaobai’s cultivation could be improved in the process.

If anything is good for Xiaobai, he will be very happy.

However, as several people were chatting, Luodan realized something was wrong.

"Spiritual fruits like this should be hard to come by, so why doesn't it have a guardian beast?"

Thinking of this, Luo Dan frowned, and couldn't help having a bad feeling.

"Perhaps it's because the guardian beast had something to do, so Xiaobai got the advantage. Brother Luo, don't think too much. Our Xiaobai is very lucky. It's not like he hasn't gotten the advantage before."

Ye Man comforted him and didn't take it too seriously.

But Luodan still felt something was wrong, so he stroked Xiaobai's fur without responding.

"Forget it, let's leave quickly just in case."

For some reason he had a bad feeling and decided it would be better for him to leave.

Although the other two didn't understand why they were in such a hurry, they followed them. However, before they left, someone suddenly stopped them.

"Stop! You stole my spiritual fruit, and you want to leave so easily? Hand over my spiritual fruit immediately!"

The man looked like he had just been through a fierce battle. His clothes were in tatters and his face was a little messy. He glared at them fiercely.

It seems that the man who had been waiting for the spiritual fruit for a long time, and suddenly lost it, he was naturally shocked and furious.

"Hey you thieves, I was just out for a while, and you actually dared to steal my spiritual fruit. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will make all of you turn into ashes. Hand over my spiritual fruit!"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from his body, full of oppression.

Luo Dan's eyes moved, but he was not too worried. After all, his pet had already eaten the spiritual fruit. Since it was an established reality, there was no point in thinking too much. Besides, he didn't think that this man was the owner of the spiritual fruit.

"I stole your spiritual fruit. If I'm not mistaken, this spiritual fruit is very precious and matures once every thousand years. I don't know if you have lived to be a hundred years. How can something that was born and grown by nature become yours? Isn't it the case that whoever gets it first gets it?"

"you!"

The man felt guilty when the truth was revealed, and at the same time he was angry and annoyed.

"You'd better get out of the way, sir. We have already picked this spiritual fruit, so it belongs to us. You have no right to call yourself the master, nor do you have the right to ask us for compensation. If you continue to make trouble like this, it will only bring shame to yourselves!"

Ye Man and Li Ruo also became more confident and joined in the ridicule.

"That's right. The spiritual fruit was bred by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It wasn't born by you. How can you say that it's yours? Do you have any evidence?"

"Whoever gets it first gets it. Aren't all the spiritual treasures in this world like this? You were one step behind us. Who can you blame?"

Being ridiculed by both sides, the man's face became more and more ugly and distorted.

"You, you guys, you guys are just courting death!"

As he spoke, the man's face became ferocious, he picked up the long sword in his hand and attacked them. (End of this chapter)
