The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#585 - A small wish

Although Gu Jing inherited a portion of his abilities from his mother, allowing him to intercept other messengers, his own combat strength was still at the level of an ordinary nightingale.

His claws couldn't even leave a mark on Lu Jing's body.

Instead, Lu Jing grabbed him in his hand, but then Lu Jing frowned.

The connection between a messenger and its master is unique and almost impossible to change, so it's rare for messengers to attack their masters.

Lu Jing didn't know what the thing in the pond had done to Gu Jing, but it had caused Gu Jing to go offline from his friend list.

And now, no matter how he called out to Gu Jing in his mind, he couldn't get a response.

Forced to do so, Lu Jing had no choice but to flick his finger and knock Gu Jing unconscious before stuffing him into his chest.

After that, he heard more flapping sounds.

Lu Jing looked up and saw a large group of birds rushing towards him from all directions.

So, Lu Jing began to strike left and right, quickly knocking down the flock of birds one by one.

However, this was just the beginning. Immediately after, Lu Jing felt something hit the back of his head. He caught it and found that it was a pine cone.

The culprit who threw the pine cone was standing in a tree, watching him warily.

However, limited by its petite size and fluffy tail, it was hard to associate it with ferocity.

He now wished that the white carp would poke its head out of the water again and argue with him.

That way, Lu Jing could at least try to get more information out of it, instead of fighting a group of wild animals like this.

It wasn't that these wild animals were strong, but that this fight was meaningless.

Moreover, Lu Jing had a bad feeling in his heart, feeling that something else might happen later.

As if to confirm his worries, a gust of wind came at Lu Jing's left ribs!

This time, the person who attacked him was much more powerful than those small animals. Just by listening to the sound of the wind, he knew that the force of this blow was heavy, probably exceeding a thousand pounds. Even Lu Jing didn't dare to take it head-on and used his lightness skill to dodge it.

After turning his head to look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In fact, when the other party attacked, Lu Jing felt a faint sense of familiarity. When he saw the person's face, he found that it was A'Hua.

At this moment, A'Hua was holding an iron rod in his hand, baring his teeth at Lu Jing and shouting loudly.

This appearance made Lu Jing feel a little strange.

You should know that when it was Lu Jing's sparring partner, perhaps because it practiced too hard, it had developed PTSD. Later, it simply ran away as soon as it saw Lu Jing from afar.

Lu Jing hadn't seen it so majestic for a long time.

This wasn't because A'Hua had become bolder, or because the monkey was feeling arrogant. Lu Jing carefully observed it and found that its situation was similar to Gu Jing's. In short, it didn't look like itself, as if it had been controlled by someone.

This made Lu Jing think of the white carp in the wooden basin.

Lu Jing bought the white carp from the market. When he first bought it, it must have been an ordinary fish, but now it had even learned to curse.

This was obviously because of that strange object.

Although Lu Jing didn't know what that strange object was, he had roughly figured out some rules.

It seemed to be able to drive other beasts to use it, and even A'Hua, who was also a strange object, couldn't escape.

Wait, doesn't that mean... Lu Jing thought of the stone python that he had been teasing during the day, and couldn't help but feel a little scalp tingling. Wouldn't this thing also be called to help, and there are still many beast-type strange objects in the academy.

Their strengths vary. Some can fight and some can't, but whether they can fight or not, if they really gather together and rush up, even with the Beast Taming Formation, Lu Jing definitely can't fight.

Thinking of this, Lu Jing didn't dare to delay any longer, grabbed his Zen staff and went to meet him.

He was an old acquaintance of A'Hua, and had fought many times. He had basically figured out A'Hua's attack habits. After a few moves, he found a flaw in A'Hua's moves, stepped forward and grabbed the iron rod in the latter's hand, and punched him in the bright red nose.

This punch knocked A'Hua to the ground. After that, Lu Jing grabbed one of its legs and threw it into the Beast Taming Formation.

A'Hua was a little dazed by this punch, but this time, it didn't run away from Lu Jing for the first time. On the contrary, it quickly jumped up from the ground and launched a heroic charge towards Lu Jing.

However, at this time, Lu Jing had already manipulated the Beast Taming Formation to completely trap it in the formation. Even if it used its best earth escape technique, it couldn't break out.

In the end, he had to accompany the crocodile.

As for the other small animals, after harassing Lu Jing for a while and finding that it had no effect, they finally stopped.

At this time, Lu Jing also looked a little embarrassed, but he wasn't injured.

It's just that after a chaotic scene, his body would inevitably be stained with some bird droppings or other animals' unique smells.

The white carp would naturally not let go of this opportunity to laugh at him, and poked its head out of the wooden basin again, sneering, "Do you know how powerful I am? Don't worry, there's even more ruthless stuff behind. Wait for me to find it."

After saying that, it was about to return to the water, but Lu Jing stopped it, "Wait..."

"Do you want to make peace with me? It's too late." The white carp sneered, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't want to leave. Now, don't blame me for being ruthless. What do you think of the monkey just now? Don't worry, this is just the beginning."

Lu Jing said, "I admit that you are a little stronger than I expected, but you always find helpers for our two's affairs. Isn't that a bit too much of a rogue? Why don't you use your real body to fight me fairly."

As a result, after he said this, the white carp suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, it looked at Lu Jing with an idiot-like gaze, "I'm a pond, how can I use my real body to fight you fairly?"

This time it was Lu Jing's turn to be shocked, "You are a pond? How is that possible."

Lu Jing clearly remembered that when Ye Gongmei mentioned this pond to him, she said that it was a fierce beast.

The white carp sighed, "I don't know what I am. Anyway, I spend most of my time in this pond. Just think of me as a pond. My only wish is to stay alone quietly. Why do people always come to disturb me?"
