Chapter 402 - 399: The Black Fog Escaped
"Crack... Crack..."
Under Gao Fei's gaze, the white egg finally cracked open... and then a band of peculiar creatures flew out from inside...
"What are these?" Gao Fei was stunned.
They were about the size of a fingernail cap, with tiny heads, tiny eyes, tiny noses, and large mouths! Their bodies were slender, with a row of wings on their backs, and four tiny claws underneath their bellies. They looked stout and cute, incredibly adorable.
Gao Fei had never seen such strange creatures before.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Hundreds of tiny bugs flew over, dancing above and below Gao Fei; some even burrowed into his embrace... Clearly, these little bugs were very dependent on Gao Fei.
"Hey, don't burrow around... Come out... It's really itchy..."
"Don't bite, ouch, you've bitten through the clothes."
"I say, can you be quiet for a bit?"
Gao Fei was surprised to discover... that hundreds of the little bugs flew away from his body and then lined up neatly, no longer causing a commotion.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Gao Fei blinked.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The hundreds of little bugs called out at the same time, the sound sharp and piercing.
"Can you really understand?" Gao Fei's eyes widened.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The hundreds of little bugs called out again.
"Come, circle around me three times." No sooner had Gao Fei finished speaking than the hundreds of little bugs began orbiting around him, exactly three circles, no more, no less.
Damn!
Gao Fei's face twitched fiercely. Can they really understand what I say? What a bunch of little monsters! Incredible!
"Not bad, very good! Extremely good!" Gao Fei exclaimed in admiration.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak..." Being praised by Gao Fei, the hundreds of little bugs showed great joy.
"What's your origin?" Gao Fei asked.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak..." The hundreds of little bugs called out rapidly; it looked like they were trying to tell their story, but unfortunately... Gao Fei didn't understand a word.
"Stop calling, it's making my head dizzy." Gao Fei waved his hand.
The hundreds of little bugs immediately closed their mouths, all staring at Gao Fei in unison, waiting for his instruction. They were ancient mystical bugs, with high spirituality. After they were born, the first thing they saw was Gao Fei, so they took Gao Fei as their parent. Whatever Gao Fei said, they would obey.
"I should look through the ancient texts. With some luck, I might be able to find out your origins." Saying this, Gao Fei paused: "What abilities do you all have? Can you show me?"
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The hundreds of little bugs simultaneously opened their large mouths and then began frantically absorbing the black mist... to be exact, absorbing the poison in the black mist... In the blink of an eye, the black mist around Gao Fei started to thin out.
"Apart from absorbing poison, do you have any other skills?" Gao Fei asked.
The hundreds of little bugs were dumbfounded, still and silent for quite a while.
"Only able to absorb poison?" Gao Fei smiled slightly: "That's not bad either, with you guys by my side, I won't fear being poisoned from now on."
Gao Fei searched in his storage ring for a moment and then took out a delicately beautiful small pouch, a Beast Pouch, especially for containing beasts. Although it looked small from the outside, the space inside was vast. This Beast Pouch was found on an enemy by Gao Fei and had been kept in the Storage Ring, not expecting it would come into use today.
"Come on, little guys, get in quick. From now on, this Beast Pouch is your home." Gao Fei opened the Beast Pouch and shook it towards the little bugs.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The hundreds of little bugs hesitated not a moment to fly into the Beast Pouch.
"Stay put inside there." Gao Fei patted the Beast Pouch: "Without my command, don't fly out."
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak..."
The hundreds of little bugs cried out in unison, their voices sounding somewhat urgent.
"Eh? What's wrong? You don't want to stay inside?" Gao Fei was stunned.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..."
The little bugs became more frantic in their chirping.
With no other option, Gao Fei opened the Beast Pouch to let the little bugs out, "You really are too disobedient, I...uh..." Gao Fei suddenly widened his eyes, realizing that things were not as he had imagined.
After hundreds of little bugs came out, they opened their mouths wide and began crazily absorbing the poison from the black fog.
Gao Fei blinked and said, "Oh, I get it now, you want to absorb the poison."
"Squeak!"
The hundreds of little bugs called out in joy.
"There are enemies watching from the outside, I must leave this place as soon as possible," Gao Fei said, "Don't worry, I will find a lot of poison for you to absorb in the future."
"Huff, huff, huff, huff..."
Seeming to sense Gao Fei's urgency, the little bugs increased the speed of their absorption.
At first, these little bugs were just absorbing the poison gas from the black fog, making the fog thinner and causing it to change color as the poison was absorbed. Later, the little bugs changed their strategy, directly absorbing the black fog, storing it within their bodies to slowly decompose and refine later.
Despite their small size, the internal space of these little bugs was unbelievably large...
The black fog was visibly decreasing at a rapid pace, and within a few breaths, the area around Gao Fei became a vacuum.
"Damn!"
Gao Fei exclaimed, "Are you trying to... suck up all the black fog?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..."
The hundreds of little bugs chirped joyously a few times.
"I give up on you guys," Gao Fei said with a wry smile, shaking his head, "The black fog is boundless, even if you absorb it for a year, you won't be able to finish."
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The black fog suddenly started roiling violently and emitted deafening rumbling sounds.
"What's going on?" Gao Fei was startled.
...
Outside.
Hao Niu and the others also noticed the abnormality of the black fog, each wearing a surprised expression on their faces.
"What's happening?" Hao Niu widened his eyes, asking uncertainly.
"You ask me, I ask who?" Ma Wei was also shocked, "It couldn't be... some kind of legendary Ferocious Beast is coming out, could it?"
"Ferocious Beast?" Hao Niu twitched the corners of his mouth, "Impossible! The black fog is full of poison gas, no creature can survive in there."
"No creature can survive?" Ma Wei snorted coldly, "That kid can move freely in it." The 'kid' Ma Wei was referring to was Gao Fei.
"Uh... don't mention that kid, he's a freak."
"I think... we need to retreat, just in case something dangerous appears, we can respond effectively."
"All units, retreat ten yards, oh, no, retreat a hundred yards!"
At Hao Niu's command, all the bandits collectively retreated.
"Look, the black fog is moving."
"Man, it's moving fast."
"Eh? Someone?"
"There really is someone! And it's two people! The one lying on the ground is Miao Kuangfeng, right?"
"And a bunch of ugly bugs."
...
The black fog moved rapidly and instantly vanished without a trace.
