Chapter 59 - The Newly Named Bamboo Shoot And Xiao Wei Preferring To Be A Salted Fish.
"Savy, just check if there is a small animal in the vicinity."
"Alright! Just leave it to me! Savy will do his best for My Adorable Master Wei!"
Although the beautiful red fox has spoken about a huge figure of a beast that has been always going against them from the start rather than becoming friends and has been trying hard to be the Master in the entire Island, however, Xiao Wei knew one fact about the mutated beast in the Apocalypse in the novel.
It\'s about the fact that the special beast with abnormal power and strength tends to be in a smaller size, one could say, the dangerous adversaries in the Apocalypse has an extremely misleading and deceiving appearance.
And Xiao Wei has even already met four living creatures with misleading appearance, its the beautiful red fox, the stunning white peacock, the adorable panda, and the majestic looking bamboo tree.
Just like how the bamboo tree can change into a bamboo shoot and controlling the bamboo trees around him while also having a special power, the three small beasts around them can also change their body size.
They just favor being in a smaller size since the control of their abilities tend to be harder to use when they are in humongous form.
"... though, that evil rock sure is extremely dangerous…"
Xiao Wei narrowed his crimson eyes while watching on the large screens as the crazy beasts keep ramming at the bamboo tree wall in four different places without the care of their lives.
The beast doesn\'t even care about the way they get injured every single time they ram their huge bodies upon it, especially when the numerous bamboo leaves falling down in the ground can easily leave a harsh slash in their bodies and causing their drops of blood to be spill around them.
"If something bad happened, Bao will make sure to Protect both of my Papa\'s and Brother Hua with all my might!"
"My Little Sister is really kind. Don\'t worry, I, Hua, will make sure to protect our Young Fathers if the situation becomes dangerous, I\'ll make sure to firmly block those beasts while we run away from here since we can just come back to destroy the evil rock after becoming stronger."
Xiao Wei couldn\'t help but rolls his eyes toward his supposed bamboo son who can easily bend and have a flexible attitude depending on the situation while inwardly coeing at his adorable Little Cutie.
Although he really likes the newly named Hua character since he really knows how to survive longer, at least, it\'s better than having a self-sacrificing attitude like those martyr-like protagonists he has read before.
Oh, Xiao Wei doesn\'t hate them for having such personality and even sincerely applaud them for it, however, it\'s an entirely different matter if they are part of his group since such person is just going to be a pig teammate if that really happens.
Oh, the horror just thinking about it and all the trouble they will cause!
"Papa Hao will be taking a while to destroy the evil rock… I wish I could help out since our Papa is definitely having a hard time."
"It\'s already amazing the fact that our Father Hao is able to even damage it."
Suddenly, Xiao Wei\'s eyes couldn\'t help but flicker at the center of the Ice Fortress where the blue-haired man has been assaulting the eerie meteorite with his beautiful blue and yellow lightning power while Bao\'s invincible barrier is helping out deflect the burst of power from getting out, especially some of the evil rock bad influence.
"... that man is meant for destruction."
Although Xiao Wei ice power is also great and powerful, which is definitely useful in widespread attacks but even he could tell how Shen Hao\'s lightning power is special. Especially when he was still trying to figure out why the blue-haired man has two different colors on his lightning power.
After all, there got to be something special about it right?
Anyway, the blue-haired man definitely is more destructive and deadlier compare to Xiao Wei\'s ice elemental power, it\'s the only reason why he is letting Shen Hao do all the attacking toward the evil rock.
Well, there is also the fact that his endurance has been mostly used while running around the entire Island a few hours ago. It\'s already amazing how the blue-haired young man still has the energy to attack the evil rock.
Such excellent and monstrous physical and mental strength the man has.
Even though Xiao was using the body of the insane villain that has greatly troubled the annoying protagonist, how come his abilities were so lacking when it comes to the supposedly useless second generation?
Although Xiao Wei completely understands that the world he is in now is also a reality, but he couldn\'t help but feel really envious.
… Well, I\'m fine being a salted fish… I\'ll just let all the people around me do all the work.
"Well, let\'s save our strength until the beast reaches the last barrier that Hua has set up."
There is also the important fact that Xiao Wei needed to preserve some strength since they are entirely surrounded by a crazy beast along with a sly powerful beast that has been hiding.
Especially when he already knows the reason why they cannot get out of the abnormal Island since it\'s has been the evil rock power that has been blocking anyone from leaving while any connection has been ineffective.
There is also the annoying mission from the supposed System he was connected with.
Hey, Xiao Wei can be crazy but it doesn\'t change the fact that he is still meticulous when dealing with a dangerous situation, especially when he is completely serious about it.
"... wake me up when it\'s morning…"
Without any hesitation, Xiao Wei has slowly closed his eyes for a proper rest while hugging the fluffy and warm panda in his arms, after all, there will soon be a massacre occurring later.
"... Sweetie… wake up…"
Suddenly, Xiao Wei felt a burning palm gently patting his cheek while being followed by a gentle hoarse sound of a man causing him to quickly snap his eyes open wide and instantly seeing a grinning but tired-looking Shen Hao squatting in front of the chair he has been sleeping on.
"It\'s time?"
Xiao Wei slowly blinks his sleepy crimson eyes while secretly noting the singe clothes and messy appearance of Shen Hao, especially the messy blue-hair and slightly dust face.
Somehow, he couldn\'t help but started letting out the slightly frozen beast meat stored in his dimension along with the other tools needed to cook their breakfast.
"... Sit down in here and sleep with Little Cutie while I go prepare food for us to eat."
The meat of the beast he has stored up is the best food to intake in order to quickly get the man\'s strength back, it can also make them powerful.
"My adorable Wei is really the best, but Sweetie… did you forget the fact that you couldn\'t cook?"
I still remember how the kitchen in our love nest was burned down.
"..."
Xiao Wei couldn\'t help but pause from giving the sleeping panda in Shen Hao\'s arms before childishly pouting after being reminded of the unscientific fact that he can\'t cook in this new life.
"... don\'t mention that and we can still remain as friends."
"Hmm… It\'s alright, I want you as a lover."
"..."
Xiao Wei rolls his eyes before pushing Shen Hao toward the chair after making sure that he was properly hugging the sleeping Bao in his arms.
"Take some rest and I\'ll go kidnap Shanyua from your older brother\'s hands."
Well, he also needs to feed them, or else they won\'t have any strength to fight later.
"By the way, how is the evil rock?"
"Ah, it\'s really annoying, I only managed to break it at the size of a baseball. Every single time I attack, there is an invisible force of protection showing upon it. Even the strength of my lightning power appeared to have been cut in half."
"I see… anyway, go take a short nap and I\'ll wake you up when the food is ready."
Xiao Wei couldn\'t help but wrinkle his eyebrows after turning his back from the smiling Shen Hao, after all, he got the feeling that this will not be the last time that they will be meeting such an evil rock.
Particularly when the evil rock has definitely come from somewhere, there is definitely the main source of it, especially when the meteorite is such a cliche existence in an Apocalypse story.
"Ah… it\'s definitely going to be great trouble… I won\'t be able to live in a faraway place if such evil rock also exists around the country."
After all, he still wants to run away from everyone when they can finally leave the abnormal Island. As for Shen Hao chasing after him? … well, if the man is really extremely determined to do that even when there is an apocalypse, then he might rethink about becoming bent for him.
While Xiao Wei, who was completely ignorant in his important mission of saving the entire world, well, keeping the human race from being extinct, and finally considering the chance of being in a relationship with a certain young man.
Savy that has been stealthy flying around suddenly pause after catching a small glimpse of a small figure slightly moving underneath the dead bodies that have been left around when the first bamboo wall was destroyed.
"Found it~"
Shortly, Savvy has sent a message to the large screen, only for a young man\'s voice suddenly reaching in Savy\'s consciousness while completely muting the mechanical voice from speaking out in the large screen.
"Younger Brother Savy, our Father Hao is sleeping with our Little Sister Bao while Papa Wei has left to make someone else cook some food. Anyway, I can figure out what that beast is trying to do. So I\'ll make it become frustrated for now while waiting for our Papa Wei to come back."
The quiet bamboo shoots that have been silently standing in Shen Hao\'s shoulder has jumped off before landing on the ground and bouncing a few distances away before standing still.
"It\'s also time for me to eat my breakfast."
Suddenly, the bamboo shoots have started growing up into a bamboo tree before its roots began a connection upon the ground and using it to quickly spread his sense all the way to the edge of the bamboo forest where many dead bodies have been left behind after breaking down the first bamboo wall.
Soon, a loud screech of a beast has suddenly echoed out before the entire ground has started to tremble and vibrate, even reaching deep in the bamboo forest where the ice fortress is created.
"Hmph! Like I\'ll allow it to grow stronger after quietly eating the important part of the beast\'s body."
The majestic Hua has let out a proud sound before using the roots of the broken bamboo trees in the edge of the forest to slowly wrapped the beast\'s dead bodies and speedily breaking them apart into his own food.
Even Hua prefers the dead beast as its main food rather than just the light in the sun or the nutrients from the soil.
"Wow, Brother Hua is super strong~"
"Of course! After all, I\'m the Big Brother in our family."
