Rururu…
Suddenly, a trough opened, and mixed feed came flowing out of it. Upon hearing this noise, the nearby spiritlings who were playing about spread their claws and pounced into the trough.
It was chow time!
The larger and older spiritlings could basically secure a good spot and eat until their bellies were full. The weaker ones could only pace about in circles at the side anxiously. After squeezing into a spot, they would barely get a few mouthfuls in before being pushed out of the way.
Zhu Minglang took notice of the feed in the trough. There were greens, chicken, fruits, worms, large bones… Truthfully speaking, the food was more sumptuous than commoners in Wutu had.
“Silkworms?”
Suddenly, Zhu Minglang noticed a particular kind of feed. It was the large silkworms he had been raising for the past years. What was interesting was that most of the spiritlings weren’t interested in them; not even some bird spirits…
After a round of fighting, only some rotten feed and a few silkworms that none of the spiritlings desired were left in the trough. At that moment, Zhu Minglang noticed a dark crocodile spiritling making its way around a few strong wolf spiritlings warily, and immediately making a run for it after grabbing a silkworm!
The wolf spiritlings immediately gave chase after noticing the dark little crocodile spirit, biting down at it.
The crocodile spiritling was still very small. Every one of the wolf spiritlings was a size bigger, not to mention there were four of them chasing it!
The crocodile spiritling crawled away cleverly, throwing three of the wolf spiritlings off its trail. In the end, however, it was still blocked by the last wolf spiritling, which was the size of an adult dog, in front of its nest. It didn’t even have a chance to swallow the silkworm before it was pounced on and pressed on the ground by the wolf spiritling…
“There are bullies even here…” Zhu Minglang shook his head. He grabbed the little wolf spirit with one hand and tossed it aside.
After breaking out of its predicament, the dark crocodile spirit immediately jumped on the silkworm, which had rolled around in the dirt and was covered with soil. Not caring whether it was dirty or not, it immediately stuffed the silkworm into its mouth.
“Little crocodile spirit, are you willing to follow me? Putting whether you’d dragonize aside, I can guarantee you an endless supply of silkworms; I specialize in raising them!” Zhu Minglang picked up the little black crocodile.
This little black crocodile spirit appeared a little ugly but adorable upon closer look, with a big silly head, and a long, thick crocodile’s body.
Its hide was bright and clean. It didn’t have a rough hide like most crocodiles did.
“Here, I’ll give you another one. Consider it as us reaching an agreement,” Zhu Minglang picked up another large silkworm that had gone ignored and brought it to the little crocodile spirit’s mouth.
The little crocodile spirit was probably famished; it quickly ate everything.
Zhu Minglang tried feeding it chicken, but he discovered that the little crocodile spirit didn’t want any, and was only eating large silkworms…
This had reminded Zhu Minglang of what the Valkyrie had said before; some true dragons loved eating silkworms when they were young.
However, Zhu Minglang noticed there was a small protrusion on the little crocodile spirit’s forehead. When he tried touching it, it felt obviously like bone.
It was a hidden horn that had yet to grow out!
-Crocodiles have horns?
-Only dragons have them!
-Mhm, you’re the one!
-It’s no big deal if it’s a little uglier and darker; it’s not like I need to sell its appeal.-
-All that’s needed is that it can fight and work!-
The tall and cold young master was fed up with waiting.
Li Shaoying saw the spiritling Zhu Minglang chose, and looked confused.
The cold young master, on the other hand, didn’t even spare a glance at it. Not only that, he didn’t even bother to pick a spiritling from here!
