CHAPTER 357: CHAPTER 357: THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE KANGAROO’S POUCH 1

Unexpectedly, the Kangaroo didn’t mind Qian Qi crawling into its pouch.

On the contrary, the Kangaroo was particularly excited, as if showing off like a boxing champion with an international gold belt, boasting to its companions about Qian Qi being in its pouch.

Afterward, whether it was the Kangaroo’s cocky demeanor that was infuriating or the lead Kangaroo being blinded by jealousy, the lead Kangaroo boss punched that smug Kangaroo in the face, sending it flying.

The punched Kangaroo, the self-isolating Qian Qi, and the group of Kangaroos tied together with an A-level rope all drew a spectacular arc in the air. Even after being punched, the Kangaroo’s eyes remained filled with joy and mystery, while the other Kangaroos were full of excitement and let out cries of "Wuhu," and Qian Qi’s tiny hands clung to the edge of the pouch, her eyes wide and mesmerized in awe.

Ah~

The mountains are so beautiful~ the sky is so blue~ the sunset is so lovely~

The kangaroo that was punched landed stylishly, splitting its legs and touching down gracefully. As it looked back, it saw the old Kangaroo boss leaping agilely, seemingly intent on snatching its "gold belt". It quickly ran away, bouncing madly nearby with Qian Qi in its pouch to avoid it.

Unfortunately, this Kangaroo was no match for the boss. The Kangaroo boss caught up, pinned it to the ground, and gave it a thorough trouncing, then pulled Qian Qi out of its pouch like pulling out a radish, and stuffed her into its own pouch.

Qian Qi squatted in the pouch, her little hands gripping the edge, smiling dazedly: "This is great~ being fought over like this, hehehe, hehehe..."

System: [...have you finally gone mad?]

"Brother Qian! The Magic Plants are all picked! Come back quickly!" Gong Qiang shouted like a roaring river from afar.

Upon hearing "all picked," Qian Qi’s dazed and confused spirit suddenly focused, and her eyes immediately gleamed with sharp intensity, "All picked?"

"Lu Zi! We should head back!" Qian Qi raised her arm in a wave, pointing toward the back left, "Let’s go~ that way~"

She pointed out of habit or maybe just for fun, but then remembered the old Kangaroo boss couldn’t understand human speech, she was about to jump out of the pouch and head back with the line of kangaroos in tow when suddenly she noticed the old Kangaroo boss actually turned around and dashed in the direction she pointed.

"Huh?"

Qian Qi was slightly surprised. Was it a coincidence or what? She pointed in another direction, and surprisingly, the old Kangaroo boss really hopped that way.

Qian Qi: ? What’s going on?!

Why is it suddenly following orders?

Qian Qi quickly climbed out of the pouch, meeting the old Kangaroo boss’s gaze, and the old Kangaroo boss stared back at her as if to say: What are you looking at?

"Lu Zi, go this way," Qian Qi pointed a direction, but the old Kangaroo boss didn’t understand, just glared at her with its big eyes.

"Strange..." Qian Qi pondered for a moment, her peripheral vision caught sight of the old Kangaroo boss’s pouch, and she narrowed her little eyes.

No way, no way, no way...

She climbed back into the Kangaroo’s pouch and then stretched out her arm, "Lu Zi, this way?"

The old Kangaroo boss’s hind legs pushed off the ground, and it "whooshed" in the direction Qian Qi pointed.

Qian Qi: !!!

So that’s it!

Qian Qi’s mind raced rapidly, the pouch must have initially held a Little Kangaroo Beast. She speculated that the little Kangaroo Beast was newly born and perhaps couldn’t speak Beast language or keep up with the group yet. Curious about the world, they probably often stretched out a hand directing their parents where to go, so when she sat in the pouch and extended her arm, the Kangaroo could grasp where she wanted to go!

Oh my God!

I’m practically a genius of logic!

"Lu Zi, let’s go, I’ll take you home!" Qian Qi said cheerfully, waving her arm, "From now on, you’re my land’s strongest mount in the instance!"

"Yeehaw~" the old Kangaroo boss let out a call, its hind legs leaped vigorously, leading a string of Kangaroos back towards Gong Qiang.

Thus, Gong Qiang and the Gong Family Army, who were waiting for her, watched wide-eyed as Qian Qi sat in the pouch, speeding toward them with a face full of enthusiastic eccentricity, shouting hoarsely, "Brother Qiang~~~ I’m back~~~"

"...I have a bad feeling about this." Gong Qiang silently stepped back, "Could he have trained it so quickly?"

Su Ang crossed his arms, looking at the smiling girl, and his lips curved slightly, "Seems like it."

"Hup!" Qian Qi rolled out of the pouch, successfully making the old Kangaroo boss stop, she waved a big hand confidently, "Brother Qiang, pack up immediately, anything we can’t carry, we’ll stuff into the Kangaroo’s pouch! We’re leaving right away!"

"Alright," seeing Qian Qi so full of energy, Gong Qiang relaxed and directed the Gong Family Army to pack up the luggage, putting what they couldn’t carry into the Kangaroo Beast’s pouch, while Qian Qi scooped up the little Kangaroo and the Magic Beast Egg, placing them back in the two mother Kangaroos’ pouches.

"All packed neatly." Once everything was done, Gong Qiang called out to Qian Qi. Seeing the Gong Family Army mounting the Flying Magical Beasts again, Qian Qi replied with an OK gesture and climbed into the old Kangaroo boss’s pouch.

She waved her arm like a little child in a bicycle basket, happily saying, "Lu Zi, onward!"

The Kangaroo’s jumping ability was quite extraordinary, even surpassing some slower B-level Magic Beasts and A-level Magic Beasts. With Qian Qi leading the Kangaroo group, they quickly bounded across the island, with few Magic Beasts able to keep up. Of course, there were predatory Magic Beasts eyeing the C-level Magic Beasts, intending to attack them.

Unfortunately for them, a team of A-level Flyers hovered above, always keeping an eye on the situation on the ground, preventing any Magical Beast crisis from threatening Qian Qi.

"Seems like the flying feature can greatly enhance the combat ability of an A-level Awakener," Qian Qi mused, raising her hand to gaze at the Gong Family Army in the sky, "Or, a Beast Master having a Flying Magical Beast could greatly enhance combat ability? Maybe not, there’s a big difference between a person’s and a beast’s reaction speed, I suppose more practical practice is needed to achieve a human-bird unity..."

While Qian Qi was contemplating, she suddenly felt her legs tingling, likely from squatting too long. About to sit down, she felt something soft beneath her calves.

"Hmm?"

Qian Qi peeled back the pouch and was surprised to discover that the bottom on each side housed two protruding fleshy orbs, their skin showing delicate red and green veins, giving off an impression of extreme fragility and sensitivity.

Qian Qi: ...

No, resist.

Qian Qi held back, reasoning that it could be the most vulnerable part of the Kangaroo Beast!

Qian Qi’s little brows were furrowed, almost sticking together, caught in a painful struggle, her little foot dangling near the orbs, until finally, she couldn’t resist her curiosity and tentatively pressed her little foot onto the left orb.
