Chapter 1390: Borer

Xiao Xiao sniffed a few more times.

The eyebrows on his face were slightly raised.

There really is something evil going on.

The evil aura was so faint that he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't gotten close to smell it.

He turned a few more pages and sniffed.

"Could it be."

He whispered to himself, "These marks are not caused by insects."

But was he bitten by a monster?
A monster that likes to eat book pages.
I don't know whether to say that the other party is elegant or wasteful?
The books were completely ruined by it.

"no no"

The young man's mumbling could be heard not far away.

Xiao Xiao looked through the gap in the bookshelf and saw the young man staring at the spines of the books on the shelf with a focused look on his face, running his fingers over each title.

"no no"

The boy hunched over.

"no no"

The boy squatted down again.

"No-"

"what!"

The boy gave a short exclamation, his eyes shining.

It seems a little unbelievable.

He clenched the book between his fingers and pulled it out.

A huge grin appeared on the boy's face.

Yes, this is the book he has always wanted.

This bookstore is amazing.

Such a rare old book.

But soon, the boy pursed his lips and his expression became serious.

I wonder what the situation is with this book?
If it is also badly eaten
His joy was in vain.

Why didn't he discover this bookstore earlier?

If I had discovered it earlier
After blaming himself in his heart, the boy took a deep breath and placed his hand on the cover of the book.

He hesitated for a while.

The boy gritted his teeth and opened the cover.

The complete page in front of him made him couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

His tense expression relaxed a little.

It finally started well.

He just couldn't believe that the entire bookstore, with so many books, every single one of them was eaten by insects. How many insects would it take?

The boy calmed his rapid heartbeat again, and then
"Shuashua~"

The boy quickly turned two pages.

Not broken!

The boy flipped through the entire book, grinning a little foolishly.

It's really not broken.

This book is in perfect condition.

He said, how could it be possible that all the books in such a bookstore, which is neither big nor small, were "tragically destroyed"?
However, he did not see a dark shadow appear on the page of the book in his hand.

He couldn't help but read the contents of the page.

"Click~"

The sound was so slight that the boy did not hear it.

Xiao Xiao's ears moved and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

The first thing I saw was a young boy squatting on the ground reading a book.

Found the book?

Xiao Xiao reacted quickly.

Just now I saw this young man searching through books one by one, but now he is still, obviously he has gained something.

The little white fox hit Xiao Xiao's arm with its tail and raised its chin slightly, "Look at the book."

Both his face and his words revealed a great deal of disgust.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on the open book in the boy's hand.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

That is
"Worm."

I instantly understood why the little white fox had that look of disgust just now.

After all, it is a monster in the shape of a bug.

He is dressed in all black, which makes it hard for people to like him.

In particular, this woodworm was still eating the pages of the book.

The boy was unaware and focused on the contents of the book.

But after a while, he would notice something unusual even if he tried his best to concentrate.

Xiao Xiao reached out and took the Taotie off his head.

"Little Taotie, I'll leave that borer to you."

"Don't eat it yet."

"I have something to ask it." Taotie pouted in dissatisfaction. Why should it go?

Can’t eat yet.

"Maybe you can eat after I finish asking questions."

Xiao Xiao snapped his fingers and said, "Please."

Taotie flew in a parabola towards the open book in the boy's hand.

The book in his hand suddenly felt heavy, and the boy came back to his senses.

Um? what happened?

Then his eyes widened. Why is there a corner missing from this page? !
It was clearly not there just now.

Is it a bug?

The boy quickly scanned the pages of the book and found no signs of any insects.

He picked up the book again and shook it a few times.

There were no findings either.

The boy looked confused.

what happened?

Have the bugs left?

There are too many bugs in this bookstore, so he should just buy the books and leave.

The boy closed the book and held it in his arms.

However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he searched the remaining bookcases carefully. After finding that there was no "slippery fish", he went to the cashier with the only book he found.

With this book his trip won't be in vain.

Taotie landed steadily on the page.

Borer:?!
The two monsters stared at each other.

Noticing the movement of the human holding the book, Taotie grinned and signaled the woodworm to go to the empty bookshelf next to it.

His expression was quite ferocious.

There was a hint of greed in his eyes.

It is not like those pretentious monsters. In its eyes, no matter how ugly the food is, it is still food.

Anyway, it's all in your mouth.

What's the importance of appearance?
As long as it tastes good, that's fine.

And most of the monsters taste very good.

It hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Now looking at the little monster in front of it, Taotie's eyes were red.

The termite was startled all over.

The "monster" before it was so powerful that it couldn't even think of escaping.

It didn't understand. Why did a huge evil star suddenly fall from the sky?

The way the other party stared at it was so terrifying.

There was a terrifying feeling that it would be swallowed by the other party in the next second.

It couldn't even breathe smoothly.

The other party's eyes indicated that it saw it but did not understand it.

Its brain has gone blank.

It opened its eyes wide when it felt the pages of the book tilt under its feet.

Then the claws in its eyes grew bigger and bigger, making it almost burst out with anger.

It flew in mid-air.

Then, with a "pop", it fell to the ground.

The familiar touch, color and smell let it know that it was lying on a bookshelf.

It blinked blankly.

I have lingering fears.

It saw the boy's back as he turned and left.

Holding against its chest the book it had not yet eaten.

However, it had no time to regret the departure of its food as it felt a huge sense of oppression coming from the side.

It didn't dare turn its head.

Stiff all over.

It knew it was the monster from before.

The other party wanted to eat it.

It can be seen.

The other party did not hide this idea at all.

Blatant and obvious.

Yes, the gap in strength between the two sides made it despair. Why would the other party need to hide it?
But it was unwilling to give in.

Even though it was extremely scared and terrified, it still didn't want to die.

Move, move, move!
The little monster, who was originally motionless and looked frightened, suddenly ran away at a high speed.

Taotie's face darkened.

Since when did such a little monster dare to challenge its majesty face to face?

Taotie was angry.

The next second, it appeared above the woodworm and slapped the woodworm hard with its claws.
