Chapter 1412 – Dignity Of A Foodie (2)
Withered?
The Tree of Life was the plant that had the most exuberant vitality in the whole world. Even under the howling wind
and torrential rain, it was impossible for it to be hurt. Moreover, the elves had been carefully taking care of the Tree
of Life all these years. How could it possibly wither?
Was it because of pollution?
Shen Yanxiao’s brow slightly creased up.
“Taotie, do you know the characteristics of those withered parts?”
Taotie shook his head. His world was divided only into what he could eat and what he couldn’t eat. Apart from
whether it was delicious or not, he wouldn’t pay attention to anything else.
Even if she asked Taotie again, she might not be able to get to the heart of the matter. Shen Yanxiao no longer asked
any questions.
After that, Shen Yanxiao just watched Taotie as he constantly ate and ate and ate…
She wondered if the 100,000 crystallic nuclei in her storage ring were enough for Taotie to eat in two days.
Shen Yanxiao propped her head up and stared at Taotie. This legendarily vicious magical beast was in fact not as
terrifying as in the legends.
His thoughts were very simple. He just wanted to eat. As long as one would not bother or stop him from eating,
even if you destroyed the heavens and earth, he would not lift his eyelids. The reason why Vermillion Bird started
fighting with him was because during that period of time when Taotie was in the Radiance Continent, he had eaten a
lot of human beings, causing a great panic among humanity.
Therefore, Vermillion Bird’s previous master, which was Shen Yanxiao’s ancestor, took Vermillion Bird on a
crusade.
In Taotie’s mind, there simply was no concept that humans could not be eaten. And because his beast form was so
huge that he often “accidentally” devoured a passing human while eating, Taotie himself did not realize that he had
eaten a lot of human beings.
When he was chased by Vermillion Bird, he felt that he was innocent. He was completely clueless as to why
Vermillion Bird had to fight with him. He had been harmed and couldn’t eat well.
“Xiu, isn’t this Taotie… a bit too simple?” Shen Yanxiao looked at the adorably stupid and hopeless Taotie and asked
for Xiu’s opinion.
‘Taotie is the most special one among the nine sons of Dragon God. He has two states before and after eating. You
think he is like an idiot now, it’s because he has been hungry for a long time. Hunger makes him unable to think
about anything. Once he is full, what you have to face is not the little guy in front of you, but the person you first
saw.’ As a god himself, Xiu was no stranger to the Dragon God. He could sense Shen Yanxiao’s relaxed attitude
towards Taotie, but he did not want Shen Yanxiao to underestimate the threat of Taotie.
“Two states? What do you mean?”
‘Taotie’s main reason for eating all day long is his stomach. If he can’t feel a little satisfaction in his stomach, then
all his strength and thinking ability will revolve around eating. He is not stupid, but all his wisdom is used looking
for food. Once he is full, then he will become the real Taotie. Just like Vermillion Bird said, he will become a true
Holy Beast; even in the face of the eight Mythological Beasts of The Rising Sun City, he was invincible.’ Adorable
was adorable, but once he had eaten enough, he was truly dangerous.
“When will he get full, anyway?” Shen Yanxiao raised an eyebrow. Taotie’s stomach was like a bottomless pit. She
was very doubtful about whether there would really be a time when Taotie had eaten his fill.
‘Taotie eats food; on one hand, it is to satisfy his appetite; on the other hand, it is to absorb power. He is the only
one of all magical beasts that can turn the power of the thing he swallowed into his own.’ Xiu faintly said.
