Chapter 8: Purple Pearl

Ding Xiaoyi didn't expect that the big-headed monster would like vinegar and pickled cabbage beef noodles so much.

I soaked three packets for the big-headed monster in a row, and the big-headed monster ate them all in one bite.

"There is no hot water! Let me cook it for you when I come back."

Facing the longing look from the big-headed monster, I was reminded of the husky I had raised when I was young.

In fact, he quite likes this dog.

Although this idiot sometimes has no brains, his naive appearance is still very lovable.

Until one day, this stupid dog jumped into the big iron pot that the neighbor was preparing to use to cook pork...

I remember that at that time, winter was approaching, and although my neighbor had lost two pieces of pork, he was not unhappy at all.

After I arrived at the scene, I ate two big bowls with tears in my eyes before falling asleep in the old man's arms.

The big-headed monster understood what he meant, and reluctantly licked his lunch box clean.

"Eh!!!"

At this time, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Zi Bei was placed in the corner by the big-headed monster, and at some point a small opening opened slightly.

The lavender light flickered in and out of the gap, as if it was breathing.

"Quick, come and help!"

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly lit up and he waved softly to summon the big-headed monster.

After pointing to the large and small gold nuggets on the ground, he pointed to the purple shells.

It seemed that because of the vinegar and pickled cabbage beef noodles, the big-headed monster was more submissive to Ding Xiaoyi's words.

Without being forced by his own orders, the tentacles lifted up large chunks of gold one by one.

Ding Xiaoyi also picked up a piece of gold with a sharper angle and held it in his hand. After exchanging a look with the big-headed monster, the two of them moved closer step by step.

Although Zi Bei had no thoughts, he was sharper than Ding Xiaoyi thought. He seemed to sense someone approaching, and the slightly opened gap was about to close quickly.

"Quick!" Seeing that something was not going well, Ding Xiaoyi had quick eyes and quick hands and pushed the gold in his hand towards the gap.

At the same time, the big-headed monster cooperated surprisingly, and quickly pounced on it. Each of its tentacles was like an octopus, wrapping around the purple shell. It kept inserting large and small gold into the cracks of the purple shell, bit by bit.

The gap opens.

Zibei's power was so great that large chunks of gold were gradually squashed, but he couldn't hold back the big-headed monster that kept stuffing the surrounding gold into it.

Watch as the gap gradually widens.

A piece of purple light flickered out from the gap, and when I looked closely, I saw a thumb-sized bead in Purple Berry lying inside.

The bead is only as big as a thumb. If it weren't for the purple brilliance shining on it, I'm afraid that at first glance, I wouldn't have discovered such a bead hidden inside.

"Orb!"

Ding Xiaoyi looked at the bead, his face full of surprise, and his mind suddenly became hot.

Such a big purple clam can fit a person into it, and it will last for thousands of years at least.

After such a long time, such a big bead has been produced. It is easy to know that this bead must be a treasure.

But what exactly it is, he doesn't know.

Out of unfamiliarity and vigilance to everything here, Ding Xiaoyi did not reach out directly to take it, but asked the big-headed monster to insert a tentacle and pull the bead out.

It's strange to say that as soon as the bead was pulled out, the weight on his hand suddenly became lighter, and all the strength that Zibei was still fighting just now disappeared.

The big-headed monster even somersaulted and rolled on the ground before getting up.

After the two looked at each other, the big-headed monster opened his palms, and Ding Xiaoyi followed him, one by one, staring at the bead in front of him.

Although it's only about the size of your thumb.

But there is a smoke-like brilliance flowing on the beads, and the light inside the beads creates a silk-like texture.

When Ding Xiaoyi saw this, he was secretly surprised.

I have seen this kind of texture on another item before.

That is the gentian pattern golden nanmu collected by the old man.

The size is only about one side.

But that price...even for a wealthy family like their Ding family, it is very unfriendly.

The feeling of slender luster like silk brocade densely sticking together is just like the brilliance on this bead.

It even feels like there is a layer of mist surrounding the beads, making it difficult to see clearly.

The big-headed monster wanted to take another look at it, but when he took a closer look, he saw that his tentacles began to rot and collapse rapidly.

Seeing this, the big-headed monster suddenly turned pale, screamed and threw the beads on the ground.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and quickly bit off the tentacle, and then hid in a corner like lightning, refusing to get close to the purple bead on the ground.

Looking at the claw on the ground that was bitten off by the big-headed monster, Ding Xiaoyi's expression suddenly changed, and like the big-headed monster, he quickly took two steps back.

The tentacles quickly rotted until they turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

This suddenly made Ding Xiaoyi feel a chill in his heart.

If I had just reached out and grabbed it, I don't know what would happen to me now.

When he thought of that scene, he got goosebumps all over his body.

But Ding Xiaoyi didn’t give up.

After all, this was the first time he had seen such a rare treasure that only existed in stories.

Just throwing it on the ground like this, I felt a little unable to get over this hurdle.

After thinking for a while, Ding Xiaoyi turned around and took out two ham sausages from the house.

Tear open the package and throw one to the big-headed monster to reward it for taking the initiative to help this time and to make up for the loss of one of its tentacles.

He took the other one in his hand, carefully brought it to the bead, and tried to touch it with the ham sausage.

Wait to see if there is any reaction when the ham sausage touches the beads.

Ding Xiaoyi's eyes wandered, and he glanced at the big-headed monster again: "Is it only effective against big-headed monsters?"

Thinking of this, he said to the big-headed monster: "Hey, give me another hand of yours."

The big-headed monster looked stunned. He probably understood what Ding Xiaoyi was going to do. Without hesitation, he generously chewed off one of his tentacles and handed it over.

As long as the big-headed monster's body doesn't die, these tentacles can grow back at any time.

Of course not a single tentacle would care.

He took the tentacle claw from the big-headed monster and tried it again.

Sure enough, not long after the tentacles touched the beads, they began to be corroded rapidly.

The whole process is like sticking a plastic straw into a fire, it is quickly burned away.

Seeing this, he tried the ham sausage again.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the ham sausage, Ding Xiaoyi already had a guess in his mind.

Although it is risky, I still think I should try it.

At least judging from the results of the ham sausage, it seems to be very optimistic.

Looking at the purple bead on the ground, Ding Xiaoyi stretched out his finger in the air, shook his fingertips a few times, and then slowly took his hand back.

"Hiss~"

His cold and stern eyes were uncertain, looking around at the ham sausage and the palm that had been corroded into rotten flesh.

"Gamble!"

Ding Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed the purple pearl on the ground in his hand like lightning.

A cold touch rushed down the palm of his hand, making Ding Xiaoyi's heart seem to have stopped at this moment.

1,2,3……

There was deathly silence all around, and every second was being amplified and lengthened.

A drop of sweat fell to the ground along the tip of his nose until ten seconds that were so long that he almost suffocated.

Ding Xiaoyi slowly opened his palms.

Purple light illuminated his cheeks.

With his heart beating loudly, Ding Xiaoyi's cheeks flushed. It was unclear whether he was nervous or excited.

Gently hold the beads on your fingertips with your fingers, and the beads will sparkle brightly as you watch.

Ding Xiaoyi's heart suddenly surged with ecstasy, and it turned out to be exactly what he had guessed.

This bead seems to have a natural restraint effect only on monsters like the big-headed monster.

But it won't cause any harm to a living person like him.

Ding Xiaoyi's excitement was followed by waves of fear.

That's how people are.

Often after you calm down, you will worry about what you did when your mind was in a hurry.

This feeling of fear is often creepy and even unforgettable.

Although I am partially sure, but now think about it, even if it is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sure, what if...

When he thought of this, Ding Xiaoyi would inevitably feel a little happy and horrified, and thought to himself: "It would be better to do less of this kind of thing in the future."

After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing abnormal about the purple pearl in his hand, his hanging heart finally felt at ease.

I studied the bead on my hand carefully.

The purple beads were filled with light, and after staring at them carefully for a while, it seemed as if the beads were more like some kind of living thing.

Looking at it for a long time will make your eyes dizzy.

After researching for a while, Ding Xiaoyi did not find out any strange effects. He only knew that this bead seemed to be very restrained against the big-headed monster.

This couldn't help but make him think in his mind that there must be more than just big-headed monsters.

Perhaps it can also cause damage to other psychic creatures.

It's like a talisman.

Ding Xiaoyi determined the nature of the purple bead in his mind, and planned to use this bead to wear it as an accessory after he renovated the place.

After thinking about this, he put the purple pearl into the inner pocket of his clothes, put it close to his body, stood up and walked to the purple pearl again.

It seems that after losing Zizhu, Zibei suddenly lost its previous vitality.

The big-headed monster came up at this time and surrounded Zibei, staring at the tender meat inside.

“You want to eat this??”

Ding Xiaoyi raised his head and asked.

It seems that the power that the big-headed monster fears does come from the purple pearl. Once the purple pearl is gone, its ferocious nature will be exposed. At this time, it is already gearing up to devour the purple pearl.

I saw a creepy smile on the big-headed monster's honest face.

Ding Xiaoyi nodded and did not stop him. After all, he was a long-term employee of his family. He should have something to eat and drink.

"Eat it clean, but I have to keep the outer shell and don't break it."

Such a large purple clam is naturally a rare commodity. Not to mention making handicrafts, even if you use it to turn beads, you can still make a lot of money.

After instructing the big-headed monster to eat well and look after his house, Ding Xiaoyi was ready to leave.

After confirming again and again what you want to bring and the piece of gold in your pocket.

He took out the key again, and in the same way as before, he gently touched the black iron key with his palm and recited the inscription on it.

Suddenly, accompanied by a bright light and a strong pulling sensation, Ding Xiaoyi's figure gradually disappeared in front of the big-headed monster.
