Chapter 59: Everyone Wants The Dragon Pearl
Yun Ce felt that Zhang Min this woman really wasn’t any good woman, not long ago she had been relentlessly pursuing him, but after the new situation arose, she seemed to have forgotten about him, yet relentlessly pursued a bear.
The giant bear ran wildly for four hours, only stopping in a wilderness when the sky was about to turn dark, which puzzled Yun Ce greatly; shouldn’t it hide?
Yun Ce landed on a tree at the very edge of the forest, and right under a tree not far from him, a pig covered in muddy water was crouching, while the large birds circling in the sky were no longer one, but three.
Everyone seemed to be waiting, Yun Ce didn’t understand what they were waiting for, so he followed suit, making a simple nest on the treetop, eating food with E Ji while watching the excitement.
“What is that bear doing?” E Ji asked in a low voice.
“I don’t know, but look, that giant bear is lying prone on the ground, followed by more than a dozen other bears also lying prone on the ground, how come I feel like they are holding some kind of ceremony.”
“What ceremony, Moon Worship Ceremony?”
“What Moon Worship Ceremony?”
“You don’t know? Every thirty-six reincarnations after the three-month reincarnation alternation, that is, after the last great full moon, the full moon will slowly shrink, the climate will gradually turn cold, until the full moon shrinks to the size of a fist, the coldest season on the wasteland arrives.”
“Huh, full moon shrinks, what about blood moon, crescent moon?”
1 “Those two moons are not only useless, but also very inauspicious, almost all bad things happen when blood moon and crescent moon are in the sky, tonight is the last full moon, back in Hekou Village, Zhao Jin would always lead everyone to offer the best food to the moon, and dance circle dances around the campfire, after the dance, men and women who like each other can go back to the bedroom to do that.”
1 After hearing E Ji’s explanation, Yun Ce finally understood that this world also had the concept of winter, which was likely related to the full moon’s orbit, when the weather was warm, the full moon’s orbit was close to this planet, bringing more heat, when the orbit was far, much of the heat would dissipate, so winter would come.
1 As for doing that at this time, it was also related to the food abundance line, getting pregnant when food is scarce in winter, giving birth when food is abundant, this is normal, it belongs to basic life instinct.
1 Having learned new knowledge, Yun Ce was very happy, E Ji took the opportunity to lean into his arms.
1 There were three people on the large bird that Zhang Min was riding, Zhang Min and two middle-aged men, one middle-aged man with a small mustache gazed sternly at Zhang Min and said: “So, the pig demon matter was all fabricated, right?”
1 Zhang Min lowered her head and said: “It was this subordinate’s mistake, troubling the superior.”
1 The other middle-aged man with a bushy beard smiled at the small mustache man: “Wu Tong, the pig demon is a small matter, it’s just destroying one Sheyang City, the empire has new cities rising almost every day, old cities destroyed, it’s not a big deal, now, this bear has already shown the prelude to Moon Worship, this means the dragon spirit must be on it.
1 Confirming the existence of the dragon spirit, that is the big matter, as long as we get the dragon spirit today, after returning to Chang’an, the nobility title you have anticipated for many years should be achievable.
1 I have already reported this matter to Chang’an, surely the colorful clothes envoy will descend to Chuyun Prefectural City, your glory and wealth are within reach.”
1 The small mustache Wu Tong seemed to give face to the bushy beard great Han, waved his hand and said: “For Zhou Xiaowei’s sake, this time merits and demerits offset, no reward no punishment, be careful in handling the next steps, no more deviations.”
2 Zhang Min first thanked Wu Tong, then saluted Zhou Xiaowei: “Thank you, Brother Zhou.”
2 Zhou Xiaowei waved his hand: “We are fellow disciples, such a small matter is nothing, also Wu Commander had no intention of punishing you, otherwise, with his cold face, has he ever shown favoritism.”
2 Wu Tong waved his hand: “Three thousand black armored cavalry will arrive in one hour, before they arrive, if Xiong Pi wants to escape, we three will have to rely on ourselves.”
2 Zhou Xiaowei said in surprise: “Aren’t there five hundred prefectural soldiers nearby?”
2 Wu Tong shook his head: “They are all flesh and blood parents bore, don’t casually waste their lives.”
2 Zhou Xiaowei rolled his eyes: “Only you are so kind-hearted.”
2 With that, he dropped a rope and slid down from the bird’s back, disappearing into the forest.
2 Zhou Xiaowei left, Wu Tong then looked at Zhang Min: “In this investigation, how could there be such a big mistake, the difference between someone with dragon spirit and without is so great, how could you mistake it?”
2 Zhang Min gritted her teeth: “This subordinate still suspects that person evolved from a pig demon.”
2 Wu Tong shook his head: “Pig demon transforming, no matter what, couldn’t transform into a human form you couldn’t recognize, pig is pig, after transformation still pig, transformation changes the appearance, the inside can’t change, after returning this time, if there’s another chance to dissect demons, you must follow throughout, look clearly, look carefully, don’t make today’s joke again.
3 You’re injured, stay on the sky eye to command, below has me and Zhou Xiaowei, Xiong Pi can’t escape.”
3 With that, he also slid down the rope Zhou Xiaowei left, disappearing into the forest.
3 Bear King Xiong Pi lay on the ground like a toad, its belly heaving in and out making it even more like a toad, at this time the sun had not fully set, the full moon presented a magnificent golden color, the light shining on the ground, high ground, distance all dyed golden, while the forest ahead remained pitch black.
3 Yun Ce stared unblinkingly at Xiong Pi with both eyes, E Ji carefully watched the Pig King Zhu Nu hiding its body in the mud pit, only Zhang Min sitting on the large bird’s back, bandaging her thigh while softly cursing something.
3 As time passed, the gold on the full moon gradually faded, soon turning into pure silver-white, at that moment, Xiong Pi’s throat moved a few times, and a red bead surged out with vomit, hovering one and a half feet in front of Xiong Pi’s eyes, bathing in moonlight, its color also lightening.
3 Yun Ce was all too familiar with this scene, back then on a full moon night he had done the same, after that his appetite improved a lot.
3 Now seeing Xiong Pi spit out the dragon pearl, the whole bear seemed very weak, body hollowed out, looking somewhat comical, even its huge body seemed to have shrunk a whole circle.
3 Yun Ce felt that when the dragon pearl was in the stomach, aside from not wanting to eat, there were no other discomforts, why was this bear different.
3 Xiong Pi softly collapsed on the ground, spreading its body as much as possible, becoming a huge bear cake, if its fur were peeled off, just this one skin would be enough to cover the entire bedroom.
3 Doggy turned into silver needles sparsely falling from the tree, landing on the Pig King quietly crawling out from the mud pit, as moonlight fell on the Pig King, this guy’s massive body surprisingly slowly shrank, hind legs stood upright, front legs stretched, even that ferocious wild boar head slowly shrank.
4 When it moved its steps, Yun Ce realized this guy’s two pig hooves had become two human big feet, as for the front hooves naturally became human arms, head also approximate to human, just the two tusks couldn’t retract, sticking straight out of the lips.
4 Body hair all over, not like human, more like a large gorilla.
4 Battle was about to start, Yun Ce didn’t understand why Pig King would change to its strongest combat form, currently, wild boar form was much stronger than human form.
4 Pig King Zhu Nu seemed to sense something, its round little eyes looked around, then crouched low, lightning-like darted toward Xiong Pi.
4 At the same time, a grappling hook flew out from the darkness, targeting straight for the dragon pearl hovering by Xiong Pi’s mouth, Xiong Pi hurriedly got up, protected the dragon pearl with a pair of giant palms, desperately sending it to its mouth, but that dragon pearl seemed not very obedient, instead slipped out from its fingers, continuing to bathe in moonlight, jumping up and down.
4 Zhu Nu’s body crashed into Xiong Pi’s belly, the huge Xiong Pi fell down again, and the grappling hook flying from darkness missed the grab, then with the chain behind shaking, the grappling hook grabbed again for the dragon pearl.
4 Zhu Nu roared, used its hairy body to knock the grappling hook askew, stretched out a palm-sized hand to grab the dragon pearl.
4 A short spear flew toward Zhu Nu’s waist with whistling wind, Zhu Nu was about to dodge, but was grabbed by the foot by the fallen Xiong Pi, flung hard, sending Zhu Nu far away until smashing into a tree to stop.
4 The big tree shook violently, the grass cake in E Ji’s hand dropped, Yun Ce grabbed it, stuffed it back into E Ji’s hand, letting her continue eating.
4 Xiong Pi was always in rage, at this moment it opened its arms hugging toward Zhou Xiaowei who had just approached the battlefield, Zhou Xiaowei chuckled, drilled under Xiong Pi’s ribs, the knife in hand slid over Xiong Pi’s body, immediately spurting a huge stream of blood.
5 Wu Tong’s grappling hook was firmly hugged by a giant bear, unfortunately didn’t hug it, the grappling hook seemed to have many barbs, flying back also took away a big piece of skin from that bear.
5 Zhu Nu encountered many bears’ interception, it had to revert to Pig King form, charging and crashing in the bear pack, finally rushing to Xiong Pi, it changed to human form again, just about to reach for the dragon pearl, was pounced on the back by a bear, opening big mouth bit down fiercely.
5 The hair on Zhu Nu’s head stood straight up, fully half a foot long, at the moment the giant bear bit down it pierced the bear’s mouth, that bear’s brain should have been attacked, softly collapsed on Zhu Nu’s back, flung by him, smashed into another bear.
5 Zhu Nu failed several times to approach the dragon pearl, the silver needles attached to it attached to that dead bear, then through contact with other bears, step by step approached the core Xiong Pi.
5 The bracer on Yun Ce’s wrist became scorching hot, could feel its anxious mood now, really not time to be anxious, need to wait for Doggy to fish in troubled waters to get the dragon pearl back, if he went personally, surely end up pursued and killed everywhere.
5 The battle had entered white-hot stage, Xiong Pi was covered in scars, hit several times continuously by Zhu Nu, also sliced several times horizontally and vertically by Zhou Xiaowei, looking miserable unlike a Bear King famed for combat power.
