Chapter 25 (2/2)

“Hmmm… then I’ll just call you Blackie!” Qin Hao said.

Crieeek! The black bug called out again, and no one knew if it had agreed or not. In any case, Qin Hao took that it had agreed, and Blackie, who could not speak human language, could not say anything otherwise.

“Blackie, hurry up!”

“Blackie, come here!”

Qin Hao continued to call at the black bug. While Blackie did not know Qin Hao was calling it at first, but after a few times, Blackie, who had a certain amount of intelligence, understood that this was his new name.

So, Qin Hao had a follower beside him. After having a companion, the journey would become less lonely. plus, after Blackie got rid of that parasite, its appetite was not that large. Qin Hao only needed to give it two fist-sized roast for it to be well-fed for the day, while that amount could barely even sate Qin Hao’s hunger.

“Blackie, we have to go faster. It’s getting dark soon, and our journey had already been delayed a lot today.” Qin Hao said as he sped up.

Kriiik… Blackie called out, and at the same time increased its pace as well.

Krik! Krik! After walking for a while, Blackie, which was beside Qin Hao called out again, no one knew what it was trying to say.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Blackie was consistently pestering him, Qin Hao asked.

This time around, Blackie could not be bothered to talk to Qin Hao, since he could not understand it anyway. So the bugger bowed its head and then arched forward as it shoveled Qin Hao onto its back.

“You…” Qin Hao was startled. If not for the fact that he did not sense any danger, he almost thought that Xiao Hei was going to bite him.

After putting Qin Hao on its back, two pieces of chitin carapace on Blackie’s back suddenly lifted up like a saddle. Qin Hao subconsciously grabbed onto the protruding chitin before him, as he followed Blackie as the latter ran forward.

Whoosh… Blackie was traversing the rainforest as if it was on flat ground. It was even faster than the multifunctional all-terrain vehicle used by the Mechanized Infantry Division!

It not for the fact Qin Hao’s physical coordination and strength at that time was already far superior to normal humans, he would have been thrown off by Blackie.

“F*ck me! Blackie could do this?” Qin Hao was overjoyed. With Blackie as his mount, he did not need five days at all. He could reach Coales Valley in two days at most!

Blackie shuttled across the rainforest at high speed and startled countless birds. At the same time, it also helped Qin Hao avoided lots of danger, as by the time many predators caught on to his and Blackie’s trail, and long before they could even launch an attack, they were left several hundreds of meters in the dust by Blackie. By the time the predators reacted, it was too late for them to chase after them.

As they rushed ahead, Blackie’s endurance proved to be amazing. Only five hours later did it start to slow down.
