The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 11 The Battle to Protect the Crops!

three days later.

night.

"Kongkong, you took a bath for nothing."

Looking at the little guy still trying his best, Yun Che on the floor said with some helplessness.

Beside him, Kongkong was doing sit-ups with a taut, thickened silk thread between his teeth.

A thickened silk thread stretched out of the window, through a sturdy tree outside, and at the other end of the thread was a huge stone.

Every time the little guy does a sit-up, it makes the stone rise and fall.

Weight training!

Hearing Yun Che's words, Kong Kong, who was biting the silk thread, couldn't speak and could only grin.

Seeing this, Yun Che sighed inwardly.

It wasn't that he disliked Kong Kong's efforts, it's just... he felt a little uneasy.

Because there aren't many energy cubes left from the system's reward!

At first, he thought that if Kongkong ate three energy cubes a day, one hundred energy cubes would last for a month, but in fact... the harder the little guy trained, the more energy he consumed.

Over this period of time, the energy cubes in the system space have shrunk by more than half, leaving only thirty-one.

This made Yun Che slightly anxious.

I can't even imagine how much Kongkong would have to eat in a day if he didn't have energy cubes to replenish his training volume.

boom--

A huge boulder landed with a dull thud outside the window. Kongkong loosened the threads and looked at Yun Che with a puzzled expression.

"grumble?"

What's up?

"It's alright." Yun Che smiled slightly and patted the little guy's head. "You just focus on your work, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Chirp!" Kongkong pointed to its mouth and smacked twice.

hungry!

Yun Che was speechless.

"Are you hungry? Are you greedy?"

Despite saying that, he still took out an energy cube and fed it to Kongkong.

Hehe ~

Kongkong smiled smugly, finished the energy cube, and then bit the thread to continue training.

Yun Che took out his phone, preparing to search online for how to raise Kong Kong, mainly focusing on its diet.

While other breeding materials may be harder to find, Kongkong, as a green velvet, is a relatively "common" pet and can be easily found online.

But as he looked around, Yun Che realized something was wrong.

"The insect in my house is a dragon..."

Information on cultivating dragon-attribute extraordinary creatures is extremely rare, not only online but also among some institutions, who treasure it like precious gems.

Furthermore, he briefly browsed some Beast Tamers' shopping websites and found that materials related to dragon-attribute extraordinary creatures were several times more expensive than materials for ordinary extraordinary creatures!

Is this a bug?

This is clearly a money-devouring beast!

Yun Che gave up "resisting", put down his phone, and stretched lazily.

"Kongkong, stop practicing and go to sleep. We have to go back to the city tomorrow."

I need to go to the school to pick up my admission letter.

boom--

"Chirp!" The little guy loosened the silk thread and then spat out a mouthful of insect silk towards the switch.

pat-

Turn off the lights.

"Learning to spin silk will make things much easier." Yun Che put his hands behind his head and looked out the window. The moon was bright and the stars were few. The soft moonlight cast a white curtain over the quiet countryside.

"Chirp~" Kongkong grabbed the little "blanket", adjusted its sleeping position, and prepared to go to sleep.

A gentle evening breeze was blowing.

Yun Che, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened them again.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Chirp?" Kongkong raised its head and looked out the window.

Is there any movement?

Yun Che frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then stood up.

"Walk!"

...

The night was quiet.

Yun Che led Kong Kong on a brisk walk along the ridges of the fields, where the usual chorus of frogs and insects was now completely silent.

"Chirp?" Kongkong, clutching his clothes, looked puzzled.

Where are we going?

It's not time for it to patrol its "territory" yet.

The rustling of leaves seemed to be guiding the way.

quickly.

As they approached the village corner, they saw... beside the lush, ripening rice stalks, a supernatural creature resembling a locust leaping into the field.

It is yellowish-green overall with brown markings, has a pair of short wings on its chest that enable it to fly short distances, and has long, slender, and strong hind legs that give it a powerful jumping ability.

"Short-winged locust." Yun Che retrieved information about this extraordinary creature from his mind.

[Name]: Short-winged Locust

[Attribute]: Insect

[Race Rank]: Low-level Extraordinary

[Racial Skills]: Charge, Insect Bite, Noise...

"Chirp!" Upon seeing the short-winged locust, Kongkong's face turned fierce.

How dare they set foot on my territory!

Yun Che said in a deep voice:

"There's more than one."

Following his gaze, Kongkong saw... one after another, short-winged locusts leaping out from behind a small earthen mound, their targets all being the thriving crops.

"grumble?"

So many? Ah Che, how did you find out?

Yun Che's eyes shimmered.

How was it discovered?

The rhythm of the forest told him, the power of the Eternal Moon told him.

He was actually quite surprised. He had thought that the power of the Everlasting Stone could only be used to heal pets and listen to the voices of some extraordinary creatures, but he never expected that... it could also "communicate" with the forest to a certain extent.

However, each possessor of the power of Eternal is different in some ways, which may be the uniqueness of their power of Eternal.

It could also be an "adaptation" of the power of the Everlasting to the world of beast taming.

"Chirp?" Kongkong's claws gripped the clothes tighter and tighter.

What to do?

Those short-winged locusts are going to wreak havoc on the crops; that's all grain...

Yun Che's gaze swept over the short-winged locusts, quickly determining that their strength levels were probably not high, and he said seriously:

"We have to stop them."

"Chirp!!" Kongkong nodded in agreement.

We can't let them waste food!

Just then.

Every crop is the result of the hard work of farmers!

Side Quest: The Battle to Protect the Crops!

[Mission Reward: 3 Dragon Energy Cubes and 1 Mastery Seed for each opponent defeated!]

Ok?

Cumulative tasks!

And this reward... isn't bad at all!

"Kongkong," Yun Che called softly.

"grumble?"

He grinned and said, "One energy cube for each one you defeat."

"grumble?!"

really?!

Kongkong excitedly gripped his clothes tightly.

"Of course, have I ever lied to you?"

Anyway, the reward energy cubes are all for the little guy, and he can't eat them all at once, so he has to feed him regularly.

"Chirp!! ୧⍢⃝୨"

Seeing that Kongkong was about to rush out impatiently, Yun Che hurriedly said:

"No rush, Dragon Dance!"

There are at least twenty short-winged locusts here. Although we can be reckless, we should be reckless in a "cultured" way.

Thump, thump—

The empty heart began to thump, fell to the ground, and the body danced a mysterious dance to the rhythm, its aura rising and a surge of heat rising from its body.

"One more time, Doragondance!"

"grumble?"

What, what is this?

Yun Che: "..."

The little guy didn't catch the joke, so he could only explain:

"It's the Dance of the Dragon!"

Oh...

The second time performing Dragon Dance!

"That's about it."

Originally, Yun Che thought that the more preparations there were before the battle, the better.

However, after performing Dragon Dance twice, Kongkong's condition seemed to have reached a critical point, and further improvement would put a burden on its body.

That's true. After all, it's a living creature, not just a bunch of data. Two Dragon Dances might be the little guy's limit for now.

Moreover, if they jump down any further, the short-winged locusts will really wreak havoc on the crops.

"Charge!"

"Chirp!" Kong Kong revealed a ferocious smile, the earthen mound beneath his feet exploded, and he charged forward, draped in white light.

boom! !

A short-winged locust that was about to bite was knocked away by the air.

It is powerful and heavy.

Clean and efficient!
