The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1396:

The egg creature dashed forward with a swoosh.

It targeted the soil beneath a tea plant and pecked ferociously.

Thud-thud-thud—

A rapid succession of pecks.

Chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp~

The egg creature gleefully almost jumped up.

It swiftly pecked forward, a crimson-brown big insect emerged from the dark soil.

The big insect had many segments, measuring three fingers long and one finger wide.

Its legs were dense and kept crawling.

Seemingly sensing mortal danger, the big insect spewed a glob of venom from its mouth.

But the egg creature was very agile at this moment, jumped aside, and with a kick, stomped the chubby big insect under its foot.

Hei Dou’s eyes sparkled with sharpness; quick and precise, it pecked the big insect into two halves.

This big insect wasn’t just any insect; it had strong venom and was a Spiritual Beast after all.

Just as the egg creature was about to feast, it suddenly felt a tightness at its back.

"It seems the little fox was right; you really are a chick."

Xin Lin grabbed the egg creature’s fluffy fur and looked at the half-wriggling centipede in its mouth.

Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue had yet to find the centipede, which made Xin Lin very worried.

But she thought, though she couldn’t find it, maybe the egg creature could.

Previously, Xin Lin was unsure of the egg creature’s species.

However, the young fox from the Thunder Fox clan was certain, claiming the egg creature was a chick.

Chick... Xin Lin remembered, in the folk traditions, the natural enemy of centipedes is indeed a chicken.

So she simply spared manpower and directly summoned the egg creature.

The egg creature was hungry all day, its eyes almost popping golden stars.

At this point, not to mention poison insects, even a venomous snake, it would swallow it whole.

As expected, the chick’s nature is to hunt for insects.

Upon landing, it sniffed the surroundings and detected the poisonous centipede’s location.

"Is it this one?"

Murong Ziyue also was full of joy, looking at the centipede on the ground.

"No, this centipede is not an ordinary one; it’s a Spiritual Beast."

Murong Ziyue frowned.

The Spiritual Energy on the centipede had yet to completely dissipate.

"It’s indeed not a regular poisonous centipede; this is called the Feitian Centipede, a third-level Spiritual Beast. If I recall correctly, the Feitian Centipede doesn’t originate from Fuzhou; it should grow in the south."

Xin Lin also found records of this centipede in the Mystical Medicine Book.

If memory serves, it should be in the Tu Yuan Country area.

Tu Yuan Country... poisonous tea leaves...

Thoughts flashed in Xin Lin’s eyes.

"There should be more than one centipede around here."

Xin Lin looked at the tea tree in front of her.

Upon seeing it, Xin Lin finally understood why Tu Suxia didn’t send people to transfer it.

This tea plant had already been harvested; the new leaves were just old ones.

Xin Lin plucked a few old leaves and sniffed them under her nose.

"No smell, Tu Suxia really is something; only part of the tea leaves are poisonous."

Xin Lin patted the egg creature again, giving it the remaining half of the centipede.

Let it continue to forage.

After two hours, the egg creature lived up to expectations, finding five to six tea plants occupied by Feitian Centipedes, turning them into poisonous tea leaves.

But disappointingly for both, those poisonous tea leaves had all been picked clean.

"The toxic nature of the Feitian Centipede should be stronger, but due to poisoning those tea leaves, the toxicity decreased significantly. The poisonous tea leaves had been picked; thus, even if we capture the Feitian Centipede and find the tea plants, we have no way to point a finger at Tu Suxia to save my mother."

Murong Ziyue was deeply disappointed.
