It was gloomy, cold, and the beetles could even smell blood from it.
and anger.
It knows that the other party is angry.
Because of his own unauthorized escape.
Now, the other party is catching up, and the wind pressure above their heads is getting stronger and stronger.
It couldn't move.
Even if you scream in your heart.
It still couldn't move.
Is it dying?
It's going to die.
...
"Little Taotie."
The wind above my head stopped.
Then, the black shadow also moved away.
The beetle gasped for air after surviving the disaster.
But he was full of confusion.
For a second, it thought it was dead.
The next second, it was saved?!
The development of things was so ups and downs that it couldn't react at all.
...
"Little Taotie."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly arched, "Didn't I tell you not to eat it first?"
"Woo~"
Taotie looked innocent.
It didn't eat the little monster.
It just wanted to kill this little monster.
"Oh, is it so?"
Xiao Xiao seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Are you sure you don't kill it before eating it?"
"Woo~"
Taotie shook his head with a righteous expression on his face.
The gluttonous uncle keeps his word and won't eat if he doesn't eat.
Xiao Xiao did not argue with Taotie about this issue again.
He looked at the beetle.
...
The terror of beetles has just settled.
After being stunned for a while, it looked towards the direction where the sound came from just now.
Humanity?
wrong.
He is a human being with monsters around him.
Its gaze fell on the human's shoulder.
It was a monster with red stripes on a white background.
Eyes closed.
He looked like he was taking a rest.
He paid no attention to its probing gaze.
However, it is a really beautiful monster.
It's obviously all white...
...
The conversation between humans and monsters then turned its attention back to humans.
In its view, the monster, which is invincible, extremely ferocious and powerful, appears to be well-behaved in front of this human being.
It opened its eyes wide.
Suddenly I felt a little bit fantasy.
Is everything in front of me real?
However, to be able to make such a powerful monster be so obedient, Zhi couldn't help but show a bit of awe when looking at this human being. How powerful must this human being be?
It's unimaginable.
I can't even imagine it.
...
It knew that it had no way to escape.
The beetle was lying on the bookshelf, looking depressed.
...
"as far as I know......"
Xiao Xiao had a thoughtful look on his face, "The beetle is not a monster with a big appetite."
"Eat once and you can go without eating for a long time."
"So many books..."
He had probably flipped through a few books just now, and he had already "hit the mark" in every one of them.
"Are there any other beetles here?"
...
The beetle said nothing.
It is somewhat unsure of this human being's attitude.
There are also some who are sluggish because of the previous fright.
It's going to die soon anyway, and it doesn't want to talk.
...
"Bang~"
The beetle's body jumped up a few times.
It turned around with a horrified look on its face.
...
Taotie pressed a paw on the edge of the beetle.
The momentum is astonishing.
This human being has nothing to do for the time being, but this little monster doesn't take it seriously.
Bold monster.
Master Xiao Xiao must be dealt with carefully. How dare such a little monster ignore Master Xiao Xiao's words?!
Is this mocking its timidity?
Or are you looking down on it?
Taotie, who had nowhere to vent his anger, took this opportunity to vent his frustration.
"Ouch~"
The sound coming from the throat was low and suppressed.
In short, two words, reply.
...
"Yes Yes Yes......"
But it was a childlike voice.
The beetles responded repeatedly, nodding like pounding garlic.
His whole body almost shrank into a ball.
...
"Oooh~oooo..."
Don't say it to me.
Said to Mr. Xiao Xiao.
Taotie pressed down again with his paw.
The beetle jumped a few times with its whole body.
"Yes Yes Yes......"
The beetles responded again and again, nodding like pounding garlic.
...
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Taotie.
Taotie opened his mouth and showed a big smile, with a proud look on his face.
Xiao Xiao's eyes twitched, and then he looked at the little monster who was shaking like chaff.
...
"Xiao, Master Xiao Xiao."
Zhi lowered his head to Xiao Xiao.
"No."
"I'm the only one in this store."
"Are you born with a big appetite?"
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
The beetle shook his head.
It seemed that it found that the human in front of it was much kinder than the monster next to it, which stared at it with eager eyes, so it became slightly less nervous.
The words that came out of my mouth couldn't help but have a somewhat complaining tone, "I eat well."
"So sad."
The beetle is not a glutton, it has an infinite appetite.
The food eaten in the past few days has completely exceeded the limit of what it can accommodate.
Are you worried that your belly will explode?
Or will I be strangled to death?
"Then you still eat?"
Xiao Xiao asked strangely, and then he felt something in his heart, "Is there any reason?"
The beetle fell silent.
Just when Taotie was about to show off his power again, Xiao Xiao glanced over.
Taotie retracted his paw with a bored look on his face.
Xiao Xiao shook his head in amusement.
Is this monster addicted to showing off his power?
...
The beetle did not notice the movements of the man and the demon in front of him.
It's lost in its own thoughts.
Then, it slowly opened its mouth.
...
The beetle has been in this bookstore since the day it opened.
Beetles feed on books.
I also prefer ancient books.
And this bookstore has a lot of ancient books.
It has remained in this store ever since.
It watched the shop owner slowly transform from a young man into a gray-haired old man.
Then one day, the old man saw it.
At that time, it was eating a corner of the page from the book open in the old man's hand.
It’s still convenient to eat like this.
It's always a little inconvenient to eat closed books.
It only eats a little bit every time.
Even though it knows that humans can't see it, it doesn't want to cause unnecessary complications because of its wantonness.
It is very satisfied with its life here and does not want to cause too much trouble to this human being.
"Click~"
It bit off a small piece of the page, and before it could chew it, it found itself hanging in the air?!
It hurriedly swallowed the pages in its mouth, and raised its eyes with a bit of confusion and panic.
...
"insect?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the things in his hands.
"Bookworm?"
The old man was confused.
Obviously he has always paid great attention to the maintenance and protection of books. He had just posted the books in the bookstore some time ago, so why did he get bugs?
Did he fail to do something right?
The old man was a little worried.
I don’t know if it’s just this book that has bugs, or other books that have bugs too?
No, he has to check everything.
Thinking of this, the old man got up and planned to use a tissue to crush the bug in his hand.
Sensing the crisis, the beetle couldn't help but struggle, "Let me go!"
it shouted.
The beetles are originally very weak monsters who make a living by eating books.
If it can eat books containing spiritual power, its strength will soar.
But now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, how can there be any books containing spiritual power? The beetles who have been eating ordinary books are naturally very weak in demonic power.
