Ten years ago, deep in the southwest mountains, in a cave covered with willows.
A cute little red panda waved a branch and said the magic language he had just learned in a sweet voice:
"Hey, I am the ancestor of the panda and the king of iron eaters! You little monsters, you will die if you don't retreat!"
At the same time, he staggered forward and almost tripped over a stone, but he still raised his branches high and struck at the willow tree hanging at the entrance of the cave.
Snapped!
The willow branches were scattered in all directions, as if all powerful enemies had been repelled. The little red panda grinned with joy, and its two black ears swayed from side to side.
Amidst the sound of slightly heavy footsteps, a strong adult giant panda appeared outside, quietly wiped off the blood on its body, and then ducked into the hole.
The little red panda rushed up to him and rubbed his legs affectionately.
"Look what this is?" The adult giant panda waved its paw as if it were a magic trick, and several fragrant spiritual fruits suddenly appeared in front of it.
"It's delicious!" The little red panda was lying on the ground, looking at its mother with admiring eyes - every time she goes home, she can produce spiritual fruits out of thin air, it's really amazing!
"Eat quickly." The adult giant panda's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
The little red panda picked up the spiritual fruit, took a bite, puffed out its cheeks and chewed it carefully, with an extremely solemn expression, as if it was participating in some sacred ceremony.
After swallowing it in one gulp, it closed its eyes, closed its two little paws on its chest, and said piously like chanting a mantra:
"Grow up quickly!"
Only when you grow up can you have the strength to help your mother fight.
But for some reason, it just eats and doesn't grow. It has not grown in size for a long time, which is really unlucky.
The adult giant panda slowly sat down and looked at the thin and small body of his child, but he seemed very pleased.
In the iron-eating beast lineage, the harder it is for the young beast's body to grow, it means that the purer the bloodline, the higher the upper limit will be in the future.
But the premise is that there must be sufficient resources to support it.
So the adult giant panda turned his head and looked in a certain direction outside the cave. He hesitated and pressed the wound on his body.
Finally, it looked down at its child with extremely soft eyes.
"Marumaru, you must grow up in peace..."
On Flag Mountain, in the deep valley, Panda Maruwan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he thought about the past.
To this day, it still hasn’t fully grown.
Fortunately, it is already very powerful.
boom!
The short Marumaru stamped his feet, and the ground around him became as cracked as a spider web, and the huge valley trembled, shocking the monsters into silence.
Maruwan was very satisfied with his kick. He put his paws on his hips and shouted majestically:
"The resources in the mountains are getting less and less. We have to go out and conquer all directions!"
"The first stop will be in Beishan. There are very few monsters there, and there is only one bamboo that has become a spirit, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Eat that bamboo and divide Beishan's resources. You all hope to become a great demon!"
Maruwan was impassioned and described a bright future with all his strength. He raised his paw and shouted in the voice he thought was the most domineering:
"Ouch——"
When the demons heard the sound, they quickly raised their heads and responded perfunctorily:
"Ho ho ho."
"Quack quack quack."
The voice was sparse and weak. It echoed in the valley and then gradually disappeared.
bamboo? No matter who eats that thing, it won't be a panic. The monsters are more interested in the spirit flower and spirit fruit.
Moreover, all the monsters know that the spiritual energy endowment of Beishan is worse than that of Qishan, almost non-existent, so the number of monsters is very small, and only Bamboo can survive - because they don't have legs, all the monsters with legs have already disappeared. .
Traveling all the way just to catch a bamboo that has become a spirit? Only ghosts are willing to go. If it weren't for the ferocious power of this iron-eating beast, the monsters would have dispersed long ago.
Seeing this scene of demonic distraction, Marumaru understood that the deception had failed, and stared angrily, and the dark circles under his eyes seemed to have become darker.
Without the help of a group of monsters to search the mountain, it would look for the Bamboo from the North Mountain alone. How long would it take to find it?
Time is precious, and it wants to grow up soon.
"You don't want to go? Do you have to scare me?"
After speaking, he opened his mouth slightly and showed his sharp fangs, which frightened the demons into trembling.
Although it is small in size, as a talented demon with excellent bloodline, its aura is quite terrifying, and every move it makes has a good deterrent effect on these little demons.
Marumaru snorted and didn't hesitate. He was about to set off and lead the monster beasts to Beishan to start its journey to become king.
Suddenly there was a breeze, and the leaves in the mountains were swaying.
"You don't need to go, I'm already here."
Maruwan was startled and turned around suddenly.
In the faint morning light, in the thin mist.
A fox with fiery red fur appeared in the valley, looking at it quietly.
The fox is very young, but his eyes are calm and deep, as if he has experienced thousands of years.
…
Just now, the timid Hongyun got a little closer to the valley and smelled the scent of a large number of monsters. It was so frightened that its legs trembled and it couldn't walk.
"Don't be so afraid." The green leaves between his eyebrows lit up, and Zhu An's spiritual thoughts comforted him, "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."
Hongyun grinned bitterly, obviously these words failed to reassure him.
There are hundreds of monsters in the valley ahead, including a ferocious iron-eating beast. If Beishanzhizhi's magic spell fails, it will be in trouble.
Suddenly there was a sound of "oooo", it was Panda Marumaru pretending to be domineering, and the sound shook the mountains.
Then hundreds of demons sang together. Although it was a bit chaotic, the sounds were still powerful together, and the lingering echoes continued.
The young Hongyun had never experienced such a battle before. His eardrums were shaking to the point of bursting. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Are you so cowardly?" Zhu An felt helpless.
"It seems that the Red Fox clan has been in a bad situation these years."
Although a little demon with ordinary blood like this has spiritual intelligence, his physical foundation is too poor and his combat power increases slowly. Facing ferocious beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards, he can only seek to protect himself, so he often lives in fear and fear. Small is not surprising.
Zhu An didn't think too much about them before. The red fox would be rewarded with spiritual fruits for reporting the news, and he also gave wooden beads, so he didn't feel like he owed anything.
But now he has regained more humanity and gradually realized that some things are not as simple and pale as a transaction.
These little foxes made him feel a rare sense of warmth in this strange world.
This is already very valuable.
Zhu An decided to give Hongyun a chance just like he did when he met the little red fox.
However, the first priority is to take away the naughty iron-eating beast.
Before Hong Yun woke up, Zhu An directly controlled its body, stood up slowly, and walked into the valley ahead.
Among the chaotic and crowded monster beasts, he controlled the fox body and walked leisurely and alone.
No one saw him, but they all moved their bodies unconsciously and took the initiative to make way.
Soon, Zhu An saw Panda Wanwan standing high up, stared at it for a moment, felt a little relieved, and nodded.
"Well, they are indeed the descendants of the old man. They seem to have decent talents."
"Old fellow, if you know, you should rest assured. Now that I'm here, there is still hope for the revival of the Iron-Eating Clan."
As for Panda Wanwan's call to "eat the bamboo from the north mountain" just now, Zhu An heard it clearly, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he found it interesting.
When the gap in strength is too great, there is not much difference between provocation and cuteness.
He even wanted to tease this naughty junior.
At this time, Maruwan also saw this red fox with a special temperament, so he wrinkled his nose and put on a majestic posture.
"Little fox demon, didn't I say that all the demons in Qishan should gather in the morning? Why are you late?"
Zhu An did not identify himself, but reminded:
"You are too weak now. If you show yourself to the public like this, you will die."
"Me? Too weak?" Wanwan pointed at himself and grinned a few times.
Although it hasn't really grown up yet, part of its bloodline's potential has been released. It was promoted to a great demon early and is now invincible in fighting all over Qishan. Even if hundreds of little demons in the valley swarm it, it is not afraid at all.
Is this called weak?
"I have some serious business to do, so don't waste my time. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll eat you!"
Maruwan said viciously, pretending to open his mouth wide, showing off his white teeth.
After being threatened again, Zhu An was a little happy because he recalled interesting things from the past.
"Back then, the last ancestor of your iron-eating clan also wanted to eat me when he first saw me."
Maruwan wanted to scare the other person again, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but laughed again.
When he was a child, his mother said that the last demon king ancestor of the Iron-Eating Clan died three thousand years ago. Since then, the clan has declined, and no more demon kings have been born.
Could it be that this little fox demon who has just grown up has lived for three thousand years?
Listening to each other's compliments, Wanwan also winked and asked with a smile: "What happens next? Have you been eaten?"
Zhu An replied seriously: "Then it was slapped away by me."
"Hahahaha..." Wanwan was suddenly overjoyed and laughed so hard.
But when it straightened up again, its eyes were wide open, and the momentum of the talented demon was rising like a raging wave.
"It's okay to brag, but insulting our ancestors——"
It stared at the red fox fiercely, its small chest heaving violently, and there was a bit of grievance in the anger - the iron-eating beast clan was really miserable, not to mention almost extinct, even a little fox dared to step on it .
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
