Chapter 9 The End
Hmm? Xiao Xiao looked up when he suddenly realized something.

The silver-grey monster landed silently, with its head held high revealing its innate arrogance. Even though it looked disheveled, it was still... quite arrogant and deserved a beating.

Xiao Xiao wanted to laugh, but was also a little wary.

He was dazzled by the monster battle he saw for the first time, and then he was tortured to death by the pain. Before he could recover, the eared mouse appeared in front of him.

Is this... finished?
Xiao Xiao's body, which had just relaxed a little, tensed up again. He glanced to the side with the corner of his eye, but did not see the figure of the "bee".

Did he escape? Or... was he eaten?

Xiao Xiao looked at the ear mouse's belly with a slightly strange look. It seemed that there was no change from before?
Oh, Xiao Xiao shuddered, and a strong wind whistled past his ears like a sharp arrow shot from a bow, "Swish~" this was the sound of piercing through the tree trunk.

Xiao Xiao retracted his somewhat presumptuous gaze. Is this what is often written in books, that monsters can enhance their abilities by eating monsters?

At this moment, he really hoped that this monster was a monster-eater, so that it would not eat humans.

Even though he felt powerless all over, the nerves in his brain kept clamoring "Danger, danger". With such a strong sense of crisis, Xiao Xiao gripped the ground tightly with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the approaching ear mouse without giving in.

However, the ear mouse finally stopped three steps away.

Didn't get any closer.

The scarlet eyes seemed to still retain the ferocity and hideousness from the previous fight, but now the look they gave him clearly revealed a bit of scrutiny and contempt.

Although I know that the other party is a monster and cannot be judged by common sense, it is indescribable strange to see such a human expression appearing on a rabbit-like face.

Besides, this monster is looking down on him, right? Right? Right!

Xiao Xiao no longer knew what expression he should make.

……

It was earth-shattering before, but now it is silent.

The moonlight is like frost, fading away its paleness and revealing a bit of clarity.

The silver-gray hair of the ear mouse, like the finest silk, shines with a clear luster.

Looks so soft.

However, Xiao Xiao knew very well how tough it was.

The previous beating of the tails one by one was quite refreshing.

……

Ok?
Disappeared?!
Just as he came inexplicably, he left even more silently.

Just like that, it disappeared before his eyes...

Xiao Xiao bent his back, and the sound of his heavy breathing, "Hu~Hu~", was particularly clear in the quiet forest.

Is this... finally over?

That's great!

Xiao Xiao was about to cry.

If he continues to make trouble, he will really die here.

Unjust or not!

……

"Third brother!" Zhao Luzheng shouted.

Previously, after he and the eldest brother and several others searched in their own direction without finding anything, they gradually gathered together and headed towards Xiao Xiao. On the way, they found a fainted girl. Finally, they decided that the eldest brother would send the girl to the school hospital, the second brother would return to inform the other girls that the person had been found, and he would go to find the third brother.

... "Hi." Xiao Xiao wanted to stand up, but he was unable to do so. He could only try his best to put on a nonchalant expression and greeted naturally. However, his sweat-soaked hair, pale face, and fatigue between his brows all clearly exposed his weakness.

Zhao Luzheng was far away at first, and the light in the grove was dim, so he didn't notice anything wrong. He even joked, "What? Third brother, did you know that we have found the person? Or did you die so soon?"

Xiao Xiao was leaning against a big tree, his lower body shrouded in the moonlight and his upper body hidden in the darkness. Above his head were branches crisscrossed and a few dead leaves dotted around. The moonlight was dim and misty, casting mottled black shadows, which was quite artistic.

When Zhao Luzheng walked in and saw this, he wanted to make a few more jokes, but suddenly stopped. Under the quiet moonlight, Xiao Xiao's face looked even paler and worse, with a hint of green. He was shocked and said, "Third brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, it's okay." Xiao Xiao touched his nose and smiled helplessly, "I'm just a little exhausted. Can you give me a hand?"

"You still think you're fine?" Zhao Lu hurried forward to help Xiao Xiao up. "How did you get into this state? Well, let's go to the school hospital right away. Maybe we can run into Big Brother."

"Third brother, are you really okay? What happened?"

"Ah, Third Brother, are you possessed by evil spirits?"

……

Faced with Zhao Luzheng's endless questions, Xiao Xiao's throat was dry and he could hardly make a sound. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he just kept silent.

Tonight, he was exhausted and had no energy to say anything.

What he wanted to do most now was to throw himself onto the soft bed and have a good sleep.

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it after he wakes up.

……

Xiao Xiao didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

At that time, he was the only one left in the dormitory. He had just woken up and was still a little confused.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a door opening, followed by the boss's loud voice.

"Old Third, you finally woke up. How are you? Are you feeling okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Xiaoxiao, I was so worried about you." Zhuge Yun said in a disgusted tone, and was about to climb onto Xiao Xiao's bed to give Xiao Xiao a loving hug. However, the boss grabbed him by the collar and prevented him from "successfully carrying out his evil plan."

Everyone rolled their eyes at Zhuge Yun.

"Third brother, are you hungry? We brought you some food." Zhao Luzheng made a very constructive speech.

Xiao Xiao was really hungry. He had missed breakfast and lunch, so how could he not be hungry?
After quickly washing up, Xiao Xiao ate while asking about the follow-up of last night's incident.

It's nothing special.

Of course he knew that the girl who entered the grove was fine.

But he was too late after all. The girl, like the first few people, had no external injuries, but was seriously frightened and kept talking in delirium. She is still recuperating in the school hospital.

At this point, Xiao Xiao was a little confused. Judging from what he saw yesterday, the "bee" really intended to hurt people. If that was the case, how come, except for one of the victims who was particularly unlucky and seriously injured, and excluding the one he rescued yesterday, the others were just frightened?

Although I was quite scared.

Xiao Xiao was a little confused.

Forget it, it’s all over, why bother about it?

Soon, Xiao Xiao happily put his doubts aside.

As for his roommates' inquiries about his weakness yesterday, he simply brushed them off with jokes.

However, he still had something on his mind, so he pretended to ask casually whether there was anything unusual when they were looking for someone last night?
After all, the two monsters fought so fiercely yesterday, they should have heard something, right? Or maybe they could have seen something?
However, it was obvious that the boss and the others did not notice anything unusual, nor did they take the noises too seriously, thinking that they were just the aftermath of thunder or an earthquake.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything more about this. He didn't know whether he felt relieved or something else.
