Chapter 43 - Cunning Humans

Name:Pet Simulator Author:Xia Shuqin
Wang Ye closed his eyes and pondered about the whole matter.

Streams of information filtered through his brain.

He did not expect that the assessment in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb would be related to Ming Tianxu’s diary.

Especially this purple-thunder jacaranda.

Wang Ye remembered that it was written in the diary that Ming Tianxu had asked Xiao Tao to leave him and return to human society with his diary.

Now, through Ming Kai’s hands, the diary had fallen into his hands.

In other words, the first person to get the diary should have been Ming Kai?

If that was the case, Xiao Tao should have delivered the diary safely.

But according to what the giant tree said, Xiao Tao turned into the demonic sword, so how did the diary fall into Ming Kai’s hands?

“That’s not right. Isn’t the time gap a little too long? Ming Tianxu was someone from 200 years ago… After Xiao Tao left him, it couldn’t have sent the diary to Ming Kai. So, the diary hadn’t been in Ming Kai’s hands at first. Moreover, because of this diary, he was hunted down by a mysterious force. In other words, this diary should also be known by some other forces. The history of the Xinghai Demonic Disaster…” The more he thought about it, the more Wang Ye felt that this whole matter was complicated and involved many parties.

The Xinghai Demonic Disaster could be considered a relatively famous history of the Xinghai Province. It was just that it was relatively old since it had happened two or three generations prior to now, so many didn’t know much about it.

“Wait…” Wang Ye looked at the big tree and suddenly thought of something. “You’re saying that you’ve been in a deep sleep till now?”

“Yes, my consciousness was in a state of chaos for a long time. If it weren’t for that human’s words, I think I would still be in that state,” The giant tree said, “Occasionally, I’ve sensed some humans approaching me, but they’ve only taken some branches, flowers, and fruits from my body. To me, I can’t fight back, and I won’t wake up just because of that.”

“Take your branches? Materials?” Wang Ye was stunned.

Could this be the f*cking reason why this purple-thunder jacaranda had been able to survive until now?

Otherwise, it would have been destroyed long ago.

As a plant-type pet, its growth rate was far faster than other pets, and the materials it could provide were endless.

“Over the years, quite a few humans have seen you…” Wang Ye narrowed his eyes, “But only Lin Lei has said those words? He didn’t just say those words to incite the investigators to attack you together, but also to rouse you? But how did he know that those words would rouse you? Could it be that he also knows about Xiao Tao? As well as what happened to all of you those years ago?”

Wang Ye had his own guesses regarding Lin Lei, but guesses were only guesses since they couldn’t be proved. There were too many possibilities.

“I’ve never seen him before,” The giant tree said, “I don’t remember him either.”

“Right. Do you have a section of the Qinglei Peachwood on you?” Wang Ye asked.

“I do,” The giant tree crouched and its thick branches rustled, “It’s inside my body. Back then, I was on the verge of death, so Xiao Tao took a section of peachwood from its body and placed it in my body to continue my life. The conditions for the formation of the Qinglei Peachwood are extremely harsh, but its vitality is very strong, and Xiao Tao is also very powerful. Up until now, I’ve kept this peachwood well. However, you humans shouldn’t be able to sense it. How did you know?”

“…” Wang Ye.

He had been wondering. The formation of the Qinglei Thunder Wood would only be possible under extremely pure and holy conditions.

Although this giant tree was quite conscious, it had already been infected by the strange power. It wasn’t very likely that it would be able to form the Qinglei Peachwood.

“What do you plan to do now?” Wang Ye asked. “The strange evolution shouldn’t be able to last you for long. Are you planning to go find Xiao Tao?”

“Yes, it’s definitely still here! It wasn’t easy for me to wake up. I want to find it!”

Wang Ye said in his heart, “I want to find it too, to understand what exactly is the whole matter about.”

“Wait, put on a show with me later,” Wang Ye said slowly, “I need to first make Lin Lei reveal his true appearance. I need to see who that fellow is.”

“Hm? Then what should I do?”

“First do this, then do this, and this…”

“Mm… you humans are so cunning.”

“…”

Outside.

“Oh my God, this is the first time I’ve heard that beasts have a second form…”

“That was so close, we almost died!”

“I wonder how that investigator just now is doing?”

“That purple-thunder jacaranda has become so much stronger. That guy should be almost dead by now, right?”

“This tree just wrapped him up, we couldn’t help him even if we wanted to!”



The investigators felt a lingering fear in their hearts. For a moment, they were hesitating.

If they left, they felt a bit guilty.

If they didn’t leave, they wouldn’t be of much use here either.

They could only recover and observe at the same time.

Lin Lei who was standing at the side narrowed his eyes. He would occasionally glance at the investigators from the corner of his eyes, quietly waiting.

Suddenly, with a rumble, a muffled explosion sounded inside the wall-like interior of the countless tree branches.

In the next moment, countless rays of light shot out from the cocoon-like tree branches as if they had been cut by sharp blades.

Then, they exploded!

The tree branches rained from the sky, revealing the towering figure of the giant tree.

However, as soon as it was revealed, it fell to the ground with a bang. The light on its body dimmed, and its branches shrank as if it was gradually dying.

At the same time, a figure jumped out from midair.

“Chirp!” A green sparrow with shining wings flew out.

It brought Wang Ye with it and the latter crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

“He’s out!”

“Holy shit, he won?”

“He can even kill a beast that has entered its second form?”

“What a strong aura this green sparrow has!”

The investigators immediately stood up and looked into the distance.

They saw Wang Ye stagger up from the ground, forcing out a smile.

“Bro, are you alright?” Lin Lei walked over and asked.

“I’m fine, I’m fine!” Wang Ye waved his hand with a confident look on his face, “It’s just a mere purple-thunder jacaranda. Isn’t it just easy-peasy?”

As soon as he finished saying this, his expression changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“…” Everyone.

“I’m just slightly injured, it’s no big deal,” Wang Ye coughed.

Everyone looked at Wang Ye’s current state. His face was pale, he was stumbling, and he was coughing up blood. How could he be fine?

Right at this moment, Xiao Jiu flew down as well, landing on Wang Ye’s shoulder.

It thought for a moment before spitting out a mouthful of blood as well. Then, it leaned against Wang Ye’s shoulder, seemingly exhausted.

“Bro, from the looks of it, it didn’t seem to be easy-peasy, huh?” Lin Lei laughed, “Thank you, though. Without you, we wouldn’t have known that this fierce beast was hiding such powerful strength.”

“You are welcome,” Wang Ye pointed at the giant tree. “This tree is filled with treasures. In the future, we will all be comrades on the same side, so let’s divide the gains.”

The investigators were stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully.

Lin Lei first walked over, carefully inspecting the giant tree. The smile on his face grew even wider, “Truly formidable. To think you were able to defeat this fierce beast in a one-on-one fight.”

He then turned and looked at Wang Ye and the other investigators. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a dagger, “Dividing the gains isn’t a problem. But before that, I would like to ask you all to do me a favor.”

“What’s that?”

“Die for me.”

“???” The investigators were stunned.

In the next moment, Lin Lei charged toward Wang Ye like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, the cloud dragon next to him waved its lightning-like claws, attacking the other investigators and their pets.

The investigators were all in a daze.

Lin Lei was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already closed in on Wang Ye.

The dagger was like a cold crescent as it slashed toward Wang Ye’s neck. His attack was extremely decisive, and it seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the other party’s dazed state to kill him.

However, as the dagger neared Wang Ye, he suddenly noticed that the expression on Wang Ye’s face had changed.

The emotion in his eyes, in particular, had changed from astonishment to calmness.

“Chirp!” Right at this moment, Xiao Jiu, who was lying on Wang Ye’s shoulder and appeared to be on the verge of death, suddenly opened its eyes.

Its sharp eyes stared fiercely at Linley.

In that instant, Lin Lei felt as though he was being stared at by a fierce bird, and his movements slowed down by a beat.

Then, with a flap of its wings, Xiao Jiu knocked away the dagger in Lin Lei’s hand, and the powerful force sent him flying!

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu let out a loud cry, and like a streak of light, it charged toward the nearby cloud dragon.

“Roar!” The cloud dragon, which was less than two meters tall, immediately let out an intense roar. Its draconic aura swept out, as though it wanted to intimidate the green sparrow.

The pets from the dragon race, even the most trashy ones, possessed an extraordinary level of power.

They were born with the ability to somehow suppress ordinary pets.

However, it was as if Xiao Jiu did not hear the cloud dragon’s roar. Its will was firm as it valiantly charged towards the latter.

Swish, swish, swish!

The power of the great success realm Feather Cut was extremely terrifying, especially now that Xiao Jiu had long since accumulated power and was more than ready to unleash it. Riding on a hurricane, its wings were like two sharp blades, instantly striking the vital parts of the cloud dragon.

The three-star level two cloud dragon immediately convulsed and fell to the ground.

One blow was enough to defeat the opponent!

“Great success realm Feather Cut!”

The nearby Lin Lei stood up and stumbled. His pupils constricted as he looked at Wang Ye, “This is impossible! How could a Beastmaster like you join the Investigation Corps?”
