Chapter 174: Mianmian’s Efforts
After hypnotizing one lioness, Mianmian collapsed onto Qingfeng’s head, panting heavily.
Cui Cui sprinkled a few green specks of light over it, and Mianmian instantly felt fully revived, ready to hypnotize another.
But then the green-haired turtle also scattered some green light onto it. Mianmian suddenly felt overcharged—so full of energy it was almost agitated.
It immediately understood the principle that too much could be as bad as too little. Still, with so many beasts needing to be hypnotized, it hoped that these restorative green light specks would keep coming.
Mianmian puffed out two more clouds of white mist, successfully hypnotizing two more lionesses—then collapsed again.
Qingfeng quickly transmitted to it, “Don’t fall over! Isn’t there still that fifth-tier Panda nearby? Hurry up and breathe!”
The green-haired turtle shook its head helplessly at Qingfeng, thinking how impatient youngsters were—completely forgetting how it had once jumped straight into a soup pot just to get a drink.
Mianmian said softly, “It’s not that I don’t want to. The white mist I can produce right now can’t fully hypnotize that Panda. It can only make it drowsy.”
Qingfeng turned back to look at it. “Huh? So you’re useless now?”
“You’re the useless one!” Mianmian snapped indignantly. “I just hatched not long ago! This is already amazing!”
It was mainly thanks to its superior bloodline—otherwise even hypnotizing fourth-tier beasts would’ve been difficult.
After thinking for a moment, Mianmian added, “I’m not completely useless. If someone supports me from behind while I release the white mist—constantly restoring my strength—I should be able to hypnotize that Panda.”
Qingfeng nodded. “Alright, let’s try again.”
After all, putting only three lionesses to sleep barely affected the overall battle.
Mianmian’s hypnosis was the most basic kind—it simply made the beasts fall into a deep sleep.
Si Er thought that if Mianmian could make all the beasts fall asleep, they could seize the Feiyun Zhaoyue Lingzi and even the Great Sun Grass above it.
It would be exhausting for Mianmian, though.
But with Cui Cui around, Mianmian wouldn’t suffer any lasting effects, so the risk was minimal.
Besides, many beasts broke through their limits or awakened new skills under extreme conditions. Si Er felt this was a good opportunity for Mianmian to try.
At first, Mianmian believed that with Cui Cui and the green-haired turtle, Qingshui, supporting it, it would never truly reach its limit.
Every time it was about to collapse, the two would promptly “heal” it. Their cooperation was seamless.
But gradually, through the repeated cycle, Mianmian realized something.
Why was it hypnotizing them one by one?
If it had to do it this way every time, wasn’t that too exhausting?
Couldn’t it hypnotize a whole group at once?
It was a top-tier exotic beast! It should have greater potential than those high-level beasts.
It might love to sleep—but it couldn’t only be good at sleeping. Otherwise, what was the point of Er-Er raising it?
So after the Panda also fell asleep and tumbled off the cliff, Mianmian didn’t stop. Instead, it continued expanding its white mist.
Cui Cui and Qingshui quickly noticed the change but said nothing. They simply continued restoring Mianmian’s strength, allowing the white mist to spread continuously.
Gradually, the beasts that had been fighting fiercely atop the cliff began to grow drowsy. Their movements slowed. They even started yawning mid-battle.
At last, they realized they had been ambushed—but it was too late.
Their eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and their bodies lost all strength.
One by one, they slipped into sweet dreams—and fell off the cliff.
Si Er had been carefully observing the battle below. When the Panda fell, he instinctively rushed forward and caught it.
Yu Beixuan couldn’t help covering his face. One look at Si Er’s reaction told him his old habit had resurfaced.
That condition where he couldn’t move at the sight of an Panda.
When the next Panda fell, Yu Beixuan also rushed to catch it. Though these beasts were thick-skinned and unlikely to be injured from the fall, if they hit the ground, Si Er would surely feel distressed.
Lu Taiping’s Xibi Turtle thought everyone was playing a game of catching falling objects. When a male lion plummeted down, it dashed forward and caught him.
But how to put it…
With the male lion’s fifth-tier strength and thick hide, he might have been fine hitting the ground.
But landing on the Xibi Turtle’s shell…
How tragic…
Si Er watched as the lion, still asleep, spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, he had suffered internal injuries.
They had fought for so long up there, and the lion had only sustained superficial wounds!
Guagua covered its eyes. “The Xibi Turtle’s shell is harder than the ground—harder than a lion’s hide and flesh. Falling onto that shell? That’s truly bad luck.”
Lu Taiping looked both embarrassed and thrilled.
“Xiao Hei, your shell is this tough? That’s amazing!”
He couldn’t resist knocking on the turtle’s shell. A crisp, resonant sound rang out—clear and even pleasant to the ear.
Si Er’s thoughts drifted.
It really is impressive. Listen to that tone—it sounds almost like a set of bronze chime bells.
I wonder if the Xibi Turtle’s shell could be used as a musical instrument…
Lu Taiping immediately withdrew his hand. He was currently enamored with that shell and couldn’t bear the thought of someone striking it with a mallet.
Previously, he had thought the turtle’s only advantages were being heavy and good at bearing loads.
Turns out the shell had plenty of uses?
When two more tigers fell from the sky together, the Xibi Turtle tried to rush forward again, only to be firmly held back by Lu Taiping.
“Don’t, Xiao Hei. This job isn’t for you. It’ll get beasts killed,” Lu Taiping said, pointing to the patch of blood where the lion had lain earlier. “See that? Your masterpiece.”
The Xibi Turtle was puzzled. Weren’t these beasts their enemies, competing with them for treasures?
Wouldn’t it be best if they all smashed to death on its shell?
Through their contract, Lu Taiping immediately understood its thoughts.
He explained, “The beasts here will also go out to help when there’s a baleful beast tide outside.”
“We enter the Four Symbols Mountain to train. They, too, are constantly training here.”
“So when we compete for resources, it’s every side for themselves. But unless it’s a life-or-death situation, it’s best not to kill.”
“Because many times, we can become teammates.”
The Xibi Turtle nodded, reluctantly shrinking down and crawling back into Lu Taiping’s palm.
What a pity—the catching game was over.
