Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the small disk on the table. Inside the disk was a brown, round object.
She picked up the newly bought pestle next to her, the same type used for pounding garlic, threw the magic bead into it, and then began to pound it violently.
The sound of "dong dong dong" was heard constantly in the house. If someone stood outside, they would think they were making dumplings...
Half an hour later, Yuan Yuanyuan raised her head with sweat on her face and looked at the small plate in her hand.
Damn, this thing is so hard to break.
…
In fact, Yuan Yuanyuan has recently done some research on the purpose of this magic bead.
There are actually only two ways for her to investigate now. The first is to ask Fat Cat. Fat Cat is almost omnipotent. However, ever since Fat Cat told the group about his latest discovery about Yiqi last time, for some reason, Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little scared when she saw him.
This guy Feimao always seems a bit crazy... Yuan Yuanyuan seldom asks questions in the group now, she just posts messages to chat or peek at the screen.
Her other channel was... the campus network. Yes, that's right, the campus network that Tang Shi had recommended to her before.
It is said that the people there are all students of monsters. Logically speaking, the audience is quite young, but Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't dare to look down on children at all.
When she was still a "child", she looked at some unreliable adults as if they were idiots... So children are still quite scary. At least for students, they spread information very quickly and know about any movement at the first time. In fact, they are the group of people who grasp information the fastest.
Ordinary high school students who are busy with the college entrance examination may not pay attention to what is happening outside the window, but the monster students are basically like Tang Shi... For them, the college entrance examination is simply something that can be ignored. What's more, many of them have racial talents and learn much faster than human students.
If it really doesn't work... these monsters can still use cheats and make some notes or something.
This is quite shameless, but Yuan Yuanyuan thinks it's okay, it is said that the cheating behavior has been curbed. However, these monster students still don't study... For them, the most important things are some courses that humans cannot learn, such as witchcraft.
Yuan Yuanyuan found some information about demon beads on that website. It seemed that students would share resources on this website, so there were still a lot of interesting things in it.
She looked at this thing related to the magic beads. The person who uploaded the information had obviously copied it from some magic book, because its layout was exactly the same as that in the magic book.
This seems to be a biography at the back of a book of witchcraft. The person who uploaded it didn't even add punctuation marks. Yuan Yuanyuan began to translate this ancient text with great difficulty.
Demonic bead, the demonic power in the blood.
Yuan Yuanyuan was holding a notebook and quickly searching for key words in this ancient text. She just wanted to find the key words that would help her quickly turn the magic bead into powder.
However, after looking for a long time, she did not see anything about the magic bead turning into powder, but instead saw some strange things.
Yuan Yuanyuan's eyebrows gradually frowned. She originally just wanted to find a way, but unexpectedly, she gradually became absorbed in reading this ancient book.
It is not just a book about demon beads, it also tells some history from long ago.
It is said that a long time ago, when monsters were not yet divided into big monsters and small monsters, the monster world was far more bloody than it is now, and the death rate of monsters was very high.
That was the really bloody time. When Yuan Yuanyuan was still a little monster, those fights that made her exhausted were nothing compared to that time.
—Because she wouldn't have survived at all.
At that time, the chances of the small monsters coming to the fore were very small, as the powerful monsters did whatever they wanted. The small monsters had no choice but to think of one way - to find a big monster they liked, seek his shelter, and let him protect them.
However, powerful monsters are also very awesome. They are busy every day. Why should they help a small monster like you
So at that time, a little monster invented such a magic - he condensed the magic power in his blood into a bead, and then presented it to the powerful monster he liked.
…Then the monster took it in as his little brother.
What is the significance of this behavior
Yuan Yuanyuan had always been making the magic beads step by step, but had never carefully considered the significance of this thing. However, after reading the words in this book, she finally realized why the role of the magic beads is so important.
The demon bead is something condensed from demonic power, and this demonic power is the demonic power cultivated by the demon itself.
If this part of the demonic power is condensed into a demon bead, it means that the demonic power of the monster itself is reduced. Relatively speaking, the demonic power of the monster that obtains the demon bead will increase.
This actually means reducing the power of small monsters to increase the power of powerful monsters.
So… Yuan Yuanyuan’s joke about “tribute” turned out to be a lucky coincidence. This sorcery is actually very cruel in nature. It is equivalent to sacrificing part of one’s own interests in exchange for peace.
However, there were too many little monsters at that time who were in danger of losing their lives, so everyone followed the example of that little monster.
Although this seems very unfair to the little monsters, the facts prove that this magic has brought revolutionary changes to the monster world.
In the beginning there were still many little monsters who resisted this magic, but gradually, everyone discovered that the probability of death of little monsters in the monster world was greatly reduced, and the probability of little monsters coming to the fore was also greater.
Later, the first batch of little monsters who used the monster beads to obtain the protection of powerful monsters gradually grew up and became a new generation of powerful monsters.
They still use this method, and they are more "merciful" than the first generation of big monsters, because they grew up from little monsters and can better understand the bitterness of little monsters.
As time passed, one day, a tacit rule was formed in the demon world - if the small demons used demon beads to "pay tribute" to the powerful demons, and if the powerful demons agreed, then they would unconditionally protect the safety of the small demons.
This is why the term "big monster" gradually appeared in the monster world. Big monster is not a simple term related to strength. The term was first proposed to separate some monsters from other monsters.
Those monsters called "big monsters" already have the strength to protect other small monsters. Only after being called big monsters will small monsters go to them and ask for their protection.
Yuan Yuanyuan translated from morning to afternoon, and only seemed to wake up when the sun was about to set.
This post may not have many readers because it is written in classical Chinese and has not been edited at all, not even exceeding three digits. However, after reading it, Yuan Yuanyuan broke out in cold sweats all over her body.
When she went to work at night, she was always in a daze and didn't react for a long time. Fortunately, she didn't have much to do, so she just muddled through.
When she went home to sleep at night, she quietly transformed, then cut her hand and took a small plate to catch the blood from her hand.
After the blood had flowed out in a pool, she slowly licked her hands, and then silently recited the magic formula for condensing the magic bead in her heart.
In an instant, the blood in the plate began to coagulate. Gradually, the liquid in it became less and less, and it slowly solidified into a huge demon bead.
This magic bead looked bigger than Yuan Yuanyuan’s fist. Yuan Yuanyuan couldn’t understand how a small plate of blood could coagulate into such a large bead.
It looks crystal clear and is a pure red color. Just looking at it like this, it looks like a night pearl, emitting bright red light.
Yuan Yuanyuan picked up the bead. She was silent for a long time, then turned around and pulled out a drawer, which contained a bunch of small beads that looked like red beans.
Compared with the fist-sized demon bead, these small beads are like the difference between a baby and a giant.
This was the first time that Yuan Yuanyuan condensed a magic bead in her transformed state... before that she had always condensed it when she was not transformed.
Yuan Yuanyuan picked up the huge bead and compared it with the magic bead of Tang Shi’s father. Even when placed together with the magic bead of Tang Shi’s father, this magic bead was more than twice as big.

"Is he still so quiet now?"
"yes."
"Has no one come to contact him recently?"
"No... The only people around him lately are that underage monster and a newly recruited guy."
"Those two little monsters... are fine, don't worry about them." One person said. "What we need to worry about is whether he will come into contact with other monsters."
"It seems not..." said another person next to him, "Besides, the patriarch of the Ma family no longer contacts him now."
"If there aren't many monsters that come into contact with him, then we don't have to worry. He can't cause any trouble on his own." Another person's voice sounded, "But if a monster comes into contact with him and pledges allegiance to him, remember to report back immediately."
"I don't think it's possible..." said the first person, "He basically stays in the larval area and doesn't come out anymore. There won't be any powerful monsters in the larval area... There are only baby monsters still in their infancy."
"He's smart. He knows that if he stays in the larval area, he can live longer. If he makes any unusual movements..."
"clear."
"By the way, how is the young lady doing these days? Is she still in contact with that human?"
"yes."
"Hurry up and go down and prepare. She can't go on like this. Let her get her heart back and get rid of that man in the next few days."
