Always Ending Up as an Animal Cub

chapter 55 - The Second World (17)



When Chen Xi dragged Lily to the second-floor classroom, it was already full of people.
The children who survived last night either had a strong backer or were smarter than others.
Yu Tong lay on Chen Xi's head and roughly counted. There were about fifty students in the classroom, of which thirty-six did not carry gods.

The orphanage was so big that it was impossible for the dog hole to be the only loophole. There should be other passages leading to the bottom.
The twenty-five children who were isolated by everyone had inferiority in their sitting postures and expressions.
They were the "pets" who escaped by holding the nuns' thighs and participating in the beauty pageant.

The remaining four children, two boys and two girls, were neither pets nor backers. They avoided the attack with their own brains.
The children who could see the dangers hidden in the rules, successfully ran out and came back safely became the hot cakes in the classroom.
Many children who already had gods were recruiting them to be their partners.

When passing by the front row, Yu Tong heard a thirteen-year-old red-haired boy using chocolate to seduce a little girl.
"You have a smart brain, and I have a powerful god. If we join forces, we will definitely survive to the end safely."
"Look at this small paper box, it is my god. As long as I open the box, weapons or monsters will appear randomly inside, and sometimes legendary creatures can be opened. I call it the God of Blind Boxes."

Yu Tong:...
System:...
Can blind boxes become gods these days?

The girl knew that she had a great advantage now, and turned to look at another believer. Prepare to shop around and find a good backer for herself.
Some of the children in the classroom were playing with the Rubik's Cube, some were talking to the small flame in the lighter, and some were feeding the mud with bread.
The gods are all kinds of strange, and there are all kinds of looks.

And these children who have gods seem to be very familiar with each other.
The believers are vaguely divided into two groups.
One is a group centered on the followers of the Marsh God, who occupy the left half of the classroom.
The other is a smaller group with slightly weaker strength, and they only get the middle position.

The remaining children are all squeezed to the window.
If something happens during the theology class, the children near the window will be the first to die.
After observing the distribution of people in the classroom, Yu Tong gently pecked Chen Xi's head with his chicken beak.

Chen Xi frowned, "There is no better position, I don't have many choices."
The system did not see the undercurrent in the classroom. In its eyes, this is just a group of soft and cute children and their strange gods.
This scene has a dark and fairy-tale feeling, and it can't help but wow.

[Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, do you see how many followers there are in the orphanage? ]
'Including the few who came in after us, there are 59 children in the whole classroom, including 30 followers. '
'There are probably a group of children in the warehouse, waiting for the practical class. They won't live until noon, so they are not counted. '

After hearing a few children chatting in the bathroom, Yu Tong knew the rules of the morning and what the problem was.
Today there will be a heavy rainstorm that will last all day, and the skin that has been touched by the rain must be cleaned as soon as possible.
This means that the rain falling on the body may attract some monsters. Or the rain itself is very harmful.

When a few children were chatting in the bathroom, one of them said that he hid in the warehouse with the god last night and was discovered by the monster.
He was able to survive safely until this morning, and his god must have fought with the monster in the warehouse last night.
Even if the roof of the warehouse was not seriously damaged last night, the old wooden house might have leaked rainwater. No matter how you look at it, the warehouse is not safe.

The theology class is on the second floor of the classroom, with several floors above and a floor below.
The only dangerous thing is the window on the side of the classroom.
It is much safer than the warehouse.

Chen Xi wanted to find a place far away from the window, but he had no experience and came a little late.
Finally, he could only find a place with no cracks on the roof, far from the corner, and pulled Lily to sit by the window.
The moment Chen Xi sat down, Yu Tong felt more than a dozen eyes looking at them at the same time.

He turned his head and looked back one by one, and finally met the eyes of the believers of the Marsh God.
The black-haired boy turned the pen casually, looking at Chen Xi with cold eyes.
It seems that the boy has come to his senses and figured out that Chen Xi took advantage of the loophole in the text this morning and took advantage of it in front of him.

The exclamation of the system interrupted Yu Tong's attention. He retracted his gaze and stopped competing with the black-haired boy.
[30 believers, why are there so many? I thought there were more than a dozen. Wait, there are so many believers in the orphanage, why have we never heard of this before? The little mushroom and the little coal ball in the dormitory don't seem to know either. ]
'The believers' circle is very exclusive, they are not people of the same circle, and the children with gods are too lazy to care about ordinary children. ’

‘And if I guess correctly, the children with gods should usually move around in a specific range and not in the same classroom with ordinary children. ’
[Why do we need a separate classroom? ]
‘Believers are bound to gods. Since the orphanage wants to cultivate powerful gods, the education of believers must not be left behind. Those children will probably take some serious courses. ’

[Isn’t Lily a believer too? I haven’t seen her go to other places for classes. ]
‘Because she is young and stupid. ’
System:…

[Polite, Lily. ]
Yu Tong did not mean to discriminate against Lily.
He just felt that compared to taking theoretical classes, the chubby Lily and her little bear warrior were more suitable for gaining experience in actual combat.

There are surveillance cameras everywhere, nuns check the dormitories every day, and the believers of the Marsh God are responsible for questioning the situation of each god.
The orphanage knows very well how to train these children.
The biggest problem at the moment is that Chen Xi has been targeted by the believers of the Marsh God.

What happened this morning made the boy alert. Only one god can come out of a god-training center, and he will not give Chen Xi a chance to grow up.
During the food shortage period, he will definitely find a chance to kill Chen Xi.
So Yu Tong decided to kill him first.

————
At 10 o'clock, the priest walked into the classroom holding a heavy hardcover book.
Two nuns followed him, guarding the front and back doors of the classroom.

Yu Tong found that the nuns' body hair was longer, and their exposed arms were covered with long and dense black hair.
The nun at the back even had a thick beard on her face.
The system complained that it had never seen a woman who was two meters tall, with bulging eyes and black hair all over her body. No, it was a human.

Yu Tong hadn't seen it either.
Their hair was too dense and too much, not like normal humans, but like some kind of monster.
The middle-aged priest knocked on the blackboard, motioning everyone to look over.

"Today we are going to learn about gods. There are currently 357 gods known to exist in the empire. There are 31 gods that we need to understand."
Yu Tong and Chen Xi were both stunned.
Why 31?
The gods that these children need to understand must be those that they can contact before they leave the orphanage.

After entering the classroom, Yu Tong carefully counted that there are currently 30 believers in the orphanage, corresponding to 30 gods.
Most of the people in the warehouse are dead, so they don't need to be counted in the statistics.
Where did the extra one come from?
Are the water drop warriors who lost their believers also counted?

Without giving Yu Tong time to think, the priest began to explain the first god.
Yu Tong asked the system to help record and prepared to go back to the dormitory to listen slowly. He turned his head and looked at the glass window not far away.
Through the window, you can see the sky covered with dark clouds and the trees shaking violently in the wind.

The theology classroom is on the east side of the orphanage, and the warehouse is on the northernmost side of the orphanage.
Yu Tong couldn't see the warehouse, and he was wondering why the rain hadn't fallen yet.
Priests and nuns would avoid monsters, and their presence in the theology class meant that this classroom was safe.

The children who went to the warehouse for class couldn't wait for the priest, and would soon realize that they had gone to the wrong classroom.
It was 10:03 now, and most of those children had left the warehouse and started rushing to the theology classroom.
After all, this was the only safe place in the next two hours.

Looking at the branches that were almost broken by the wind and listening to the whistling wind outside the window, Yu Tong frowned tightly. An ominous premonition hovered in his heart, and was transmitted to Chen Xi through the telepathic props.
Chen Xi, who was taking notes, raised his head.
After seeing the branches flying all over the sky in the wind, his heart tightened, and he suddenly picked up the umbrella hanging on the table.

Yu Tong turned around and yelled to Lily in the back row, "Squat down and hold an umbrella, quick!"
Before he finished speaking, a branch as thick as a wrist and with a very sharp tip hit the window of the theology classroom.
With a loud bang, the branch smashed the glass in the middle. It spun around in the room a few times and hit a child.

At the same time, the long-brewing heavy rain poured down. The strong wind swept the rain and blew into the classroom through the broken window.
Chen Xi squatted in the aisle, holding up an umbrella with both hands, tightly covering his thin body.
He touched the top of his head first to make sure that the chicken was okay, and then turned to look at Lily.

The little girl reacted a step slower. She was frightened by the loud noise and subconsciously hugged her head.
The teddy bear stood on the table and held up an umbrella, aiming at the window to block the whistling wind.
A few seconds later, the sound of broken glass rang again.

The three windows of the classroom were all smashed by branches, and the screams of the children were drowned by the whistling wind.
Chen Xi called Lili and Xiong, holding an umbrella and moving slowly along the corridor to the classroom wall.
Yu Tong tilted his head and looked out of the umbrella.

Several children rolled on their seats, and raindrops fell on them, burning holes.
The body of the child who was killed by the branches had been exposed to the rain. At this time, only the white bones were left in his lower body, and the bones were still disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At first, Yu Tong thought that this rain should be something like sulfuric acid, which is highly corrosive.

But he carefully observed and found that raindrops would not cause harm to any objects except humans and monsters.
The raindrops that fell on the children's clothes would not penetrate into the clothes, and the children's skin and flesh did not react after being burned.
In a way that violated science, the raindrops got into the children's collars and stuck to their skin.

Yu Tong raised his eyebrows in understanding.
It turned out not to be water.
————

The priest who was on the podium just now had retreated to the door of the classroom and stood with the nun at the front door.
Yu Tong observed the reactions of the nun and the priest, and lowered his voice: "Chen Xi, it's not safe outside the classroom. The side of the classroom close to the wall is occupied by the believers of the Marsh God and his followers. He has been staring at you since the glass was broken."
Chen Xi pursed his thin lips, and his childish voice revealed a maturity that did not belong to this age.

"He wanted to take my umbrella away, I can't pass him."
"Yes, you go stand next to the priest."
Chen Xi obediently moved over, put away the umbrella and shook it, and stood next to the priest.

Seeing this, Lily also followed with the little bear in her arms.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched the priest in the middle like left and right protectors.
The middle-aged man was about to drive them away, but when he lowered his head, he saw the little yellow chicken and the teddy bear staring at him covetously.

The priest was silent for a long while, and then withdrew his gaze expressionlessly.
Chen Xi took out the small water bottle from his pocket and sprinkled water on the ground in front of him.
The system asked blankly: [What is the little villain doing? ]

The latest novel is first published on the 69th book bar!
‘He is creating a safe zone for himself. The rules say that there will be heavy rain in the orphanage today. If you are touched by rain, you need to clean up the contact with your skin as soon as possible. This shows that water can inhibit rain. ’
‘This place is far from the window, and the rain will not fall on Chen Xi. But the water that falls on the ground is likely to crawl over. ’

[Ah? ]
[Crawl? ? ? ]
‘Of course it crawls over. Observe how they flow. Compared to raindrops, this is more like some kind of insect shaped like water drops. ’

While speaking, Yu Tong fluttered his wings and landed on the ground, stepping on a water drop that fell from Chen Xi’s umbrella.
Just as Yu Tong guessed, it was not rain outside, but transparent insects the size of raindrops.
He thought about his current species, looked at the water bug, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Under the horrified gaze of the system, Yu Tong grabbed the water bug in one bite, tilted his head and put it into his stomach.
Chen Xi, who was sprinkling water, was stunned.
He put down the water bottle and picked up the chick, and pried his mouth hard, "Spit it out, Sun God, don't eat anything randomly, spit it out quickly!"

Yu Tong broke free from his fingers and opened his mouth to indicate that he had swallowed it. Chen Xi was worried that something would happen to the chick, so he took the water bottle and poured water into his mouth to try to kill the insects and disinfect it.
Lily, who was squatting on the other side, exclaimed, "The water drop was eaten by the water! How fun!"
Chen Xi had no time to care about Lily. He stared at Yu Tong, who looked down at his stomach.

After a while, the chick was still alive and kicking, and Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, a hoarse voice of a middle-aged man came from above his head.
"Chen Xi, what do you call your chick?"

Chen Xi grabbed Yu Tong, who was still catching insects and eating them, and covered him with both hands, "Sun God."
"Say it again, what's it called?"
"Sun God."

"Why is it called this?"
"Because his feathers are golden, like the sun."
The priest leaned over to ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Chen Xi, staring at him with his dark eyes, "I'll ask you again, why is he called the Sun God."

Chen Xi sensed the danger and instinctively took a step back, but was held down by the nun behind him.
The nun pulled him and forced him to look at the priest.
Chen Xi took a deep breath, "Because his feathers are golden, like the sun."

"To me, he is more important than gold coins, so he is the sun god."
——————
The heavy rain will last all day.

As all the windows were broken, the theology class was forced to stop.
The children near the window were almost wiped out, and only a few smart children followed Chen Xi's example and ran to the inside of the classroom with umbrellas.
It was found that raindrops really rolled on the ground and attacked other people near the inside of the classroom. The believer of the Marsh God who had been peeping at Chen Xi all the time stood on the desk and shouted: "Water can resist water drops. We sprinkle water at our feet and use water to draw a safe zone for ourselves, so we won't be attacked by rain!"

Listening to the children's worshipful praise, the black-haired boy held his hands and smiled provocatively at Chen Xi who was standing by the door.
The bell rang at 12 o'clock, and the priest announced the end of get out of class.
A total of 15 children died in this class, and the nuns took the remaining 44 children in the orphanage out of the classroom.

Yu Tong ate trichomonas for more than an hour, and his stomach was full.
The system called up the background data and told him that the props had been upgraded again, and there was something more.
The props of Eagle Catches Chickens are still effective for 6 minutes, but the cooling time is shortened to 1 hour.

I have all the props for the beauty you want, and the function of automatically collecting the beauty portraits has been added.
Turn on the automatic mode, and the host no longer needs to scan everywhere with the collection book. As long as the beauty appears in his field of vision, it will be automatically collected.
The Hidden Black Chicken prop has basically not changed, only a new function has been added.

Originally, it could only allow Yu Tong to hide in it. After the upgrade, it can hold anything that looks like a chicken.
Yu Tong's attention was all on the two new lines of small words added in the background.
[#Fire Chicken: Rub the chicken head to spray small flames. #】

【#Playing dead chicken: The little chicken is very good at acting, can disguise as a corpse. #】
Yu Tong pointed at the two lines of words, 'What is this? '
The system folded its arms, [These two things have nothing to do with me, they popped up by themselves. I just checked, they are your own extra skills, and they are not the same as props. To make it easier for you to understand, the background automatically summarizes your extra skills into a text version. ]

Yu Tong didn't quite understand the role of the skills, but he was not too surprised.
He was also a baby animal. The kitten in the last world couldn't speak, but he was born in this world and his mouth never stopped chattering.
In addition, he absorbed Chen Xi's power of faith last night, and his body grew briefly. The appearance after he grew bigger has nothing to do with chickens.

All signs indicate that he is not a chicken, but a special species in the world of swords and magic.
It may be a monster, or it may be a legendary creature. It is normal to upgrade skills.
Look at the two extra skills, and then look at the deviation value that has increased to 40 points. Yu Tong collapsed in Xiao Chenxi's pocket and burped happily.

————
The heavy rain outside had not stopped yet, and the ground was full of rainwater. Every place that looked like a puddle was densely packed with water bugs.
When passing by the window of the corridor, Chenxi looked up at the sky and froze on the spot.

Yu Tong poked his head out of his pocket after noticing something unusual.
Through the glass window, he saw the dark clouds in the sky slowly floating.
Countless transparent wings, whose outlines could only be vaguely seen, appeared between the moving clouds.

Rather than saying that it was a dark cloud, it was more like a creeping, cloud-like behemoth.
Those water bugs were the cubs that fell from the monster's body.
Yu Tong stared at it for a long time, and a word emerged in his mind-the queen ant.

The monster in the sky really looked like a queen ant laying eggs.
Two nuns led the children to the fourth floor and pointed to the long corridor and said: "The heavy rain will last for a whole day, and everyone will sleep here. There are 20 rooms in total, and each room can accommodate 4 people."
"You go and choose your own dormitories and roommates. Come back to me at 12:30 to gather and report your dormitory number and member list."

As the nuns announced the disbandment, the children began to look for their own friends.
There were enough rooms, so Chen Xi decided to live with Lily.
He chose a dormitory 4-5 that was neither front nor back, sandwiched in the middle and had no special features, and prepared to report to the nuns.

The girl who had met him once in the bathroom suddenly came to him shyly, "Hello Chen Xi, my name is Apple Sauce. This is my god, Fairy Godmother."
The vine hidden in her clothes poked its head out from the collar. Like a wave, it shook left and right.
Chen Xi motioned for her to continue.

Apple sauce's cheeks flushed, "Can I sleep in the same dormitory with you guys?"
"Why?"
"All my roommates died last night, and I don't know anyone. Other kids don't want to team up with me, except Yekos."

"Yekos?"
Apple sauce made a bitter face, "He is a believer of the Marsh God. He always boasts that his name means bright stars in ancient language."
Yu Tong discovered very early that the culture of this alien world is very special, neither Chinese nor Western.

Everyone's name is very casual, and the skin color and hair color are also varied, which is probably the characteristic of the magical world.
The black-haired boy Yekos has been staring at this side.
The Marsh God is not here, and Yu Tong and Chen Xi don't take him seriously.

Apple sauce sighed, "Yekos said that I only have two choices today, one is to sleep with him, and the other is to sleep alone."
Yu Tong and the system turned their heads and looked at the black-haired boy who was already fifteen years old.
Dirty adults and dirty adult systems, at the same time thinking of another meaning of sleeping.

Chen Xi has never been polluted by yellow waste and has a pure natural green head.
"Sleeping with him?"
"Yes, every child who wants to join his group, regardless of gender, must sleep with him. Sometimes they take a nap or sleep late together, some sleep together for a day, and some sleep together for several days."

Apple sauce scratched his chin, "It's strange, we are obviously not allowed to visit dormitories, and we must sleep in our own beds at night, but sleeping with Yekos will be fine."
Chen Xi frowned and thought, "Do you mean sleeping in the same room or in the same bed? What's special about his bed?"
"I don't know, but my roommate said that Yekos seems to take those children out to sleep. I don't know where exactly."

"What's the use of sleeping?"
"Well... children who have slept with him will become his fanatical followers."
Apple sauce rubbed his arms, "He was really scary in the bathroom this morning. I don't want to sleep with him. I'm afraid he will bring his big eyes to the dormitory at night."

Chen Xi expressed his understanding.
Anyway, Yekos has already set his sights on him, so there is no need to be polite to him.
Chen Xi really wanted to bring Apple Sauce into his team, but he still needed to ask Lily what she thought.

He was about to turn around when the black-haired boy suddenly walked towards them.
He pushed Apple Sauce away and looked at Chen Xi coldly, "You, sleep with me today too."
Chen Xi:?

Yu Tong:...
Tsk.
