Chapter 1,403 The beetle and the old man(2/2)
In short, two words, reply.
...
"Yes Yes Yes......"
But it was a childlike voice.
The beetles responded repeatedly, nodding like pounding garlic.
His whole body almost shrank into a ball.
...
"Oooh~oooo..."
Don't say it to me.
Said to Mr. Xiao Xiao.
Taotie pressed down again with his paw.
The beetle jumped a few times with its whole body.
"Yes Yes Yes......"
The beetles responded again and again, nodding like pounding garlic.
...
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Taotie.
Taotie opened his mouth and showed a big smile, with a proud look on his face.
Xiao Xiao's eyes twitched, and then he looked at the little monster who was shaking like chaff.
...
"Xiao, Master Xiao Xiao."
Zhi lowered his head to Xiao Xiao.
"No."
"I'm the only one in this store."
"Are you born with a big appetite?"
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
The beetle shook his head.
It seemed that it found that the human in front of it was much kinder than the monster next to it, which stared at it with eager eyes, so it became slightly less nervous.
The words that came out of my mouth couldn't help but have a somewhat complaining tone, "I eat well."
"So sad."
The beetle is not a glutton, it has an infinite appetite.
The food eaten in the past few days has completely exceeded the limit of what it can accommodate.
Are you worried that your belly will explode?
Or will I be strangled to death?
"Then you still eat?"
Xiao Xiao asked strangely, and then he felt something in his heart, "Is there any reason?"
The beetle fell silent.
Just when Taotie was about to show off his power again, Xiao Xiao glanced over.
Taotie retracted his paw with a bored look on his face.
Xiao Xiao shook his head in amusement.
Is this monster addicted to showing off his power?
...
The beetle did not notice the movements of the man and the demon in front of him.
It's lost in its own thoughts.
Then, it slowly opened its mouth.
...
The beetle has been in this bookstore since the day it opened.
Beetles feed on books.
I also prefer ancient books.
And this bookstore has a lot of ancient books.
It has remained in this store ever since.
It watched the shop owner slowly transform from a young man into a gray-haired old man.
Then one day, the old man saw it.
At that time, it was eating a corner of the page from the book open in the old man's hand.
It’s still convenient to eat like this.
It's always a little inconvenient to eat closed books.
It only eats a little bit every time.
Even though it knows that humans can't see it, it doesn't want to cause unnecessary complications because of its wantonness.
It is very satisfied with its life here and does not want to cause too much trouble to this human being.
"Click~"
It bit off a small piece of the page, and before it could chew it, it found itself hanging in the air?!
It hurriedly swallowed the pages in its mouth, and raised its eyes with a bit of confusion and panic.
...
"insect?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the things in his hands.
"Bookworm?"
The old man was confused.
Obviously he has always paid great attention to the maintenance and protection of books. He had just posted the books in the bookstore some time ago, so why did he get bugs?
Did he fail to do something right?
The old man was a little worried.
I don’t know if it’s just this book that has bugs, or other books that have bugs too?
No, he has to check everything.
Thinking of this, the old man got up and planned to use a tissue to crush the bug in his hand.
Sensing the crisis, the beetle couldn't help but struggle, "Let me go!"
it shouted.
The beetles are originally very weak monsters who make a living by eating books.
If it can eat books containing spiritual power, its strength will soar.
