Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#222 - Behemoth!

"Come out, my hero, uh, no, my battle pet!"

Releasing the contract summoning technique was very simple. After all, this was an ability that Liang Yue had drawn. With just a thought, a circular magic circle with a radius of about five meters immediately appeared on the sandy, wind-swept desert in front of him.

This magic circle took shape instantly, using magic power as lines, with complex runes inscribed on it, and a faint earthy-yellow glow emanating from it.

But on this wind-swept desert, it seemed a bit inconspicuous.

After only lasting for about three seconds, the magic circle shattered with a bang, turning into starlight and dissipating into nothingness.

In its place, only a small monkey with gray-brown fur was left.

To be precise, it should be a baby monkey…

"Monkey?"

"In the myriad worlds, there are many powerful monkeys, but my current level is too low, so it's unlikely that I'll summon those big shots."

"But if it's just an ordinary monkey, this little guy doesn't seem like one either."

Looking at the little monkey not far in front of him, who didn't seem to understand the situation and was scratching his scalp with his sharp claws, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Liang Yue subconsciously squatted down and reached out his hands to it.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Upon seeing this, the little guy hesitated for a moment, then stood up on its hind legs and wobbled towards him.

Don't underestimate this little monkey; it looks like it was just born, even standing on the ground, it's only about a foot tall.

But some things are often destined from birth.

Looking at its short but thick and powerful limbs, the sharp claws at the ends of its hands and feet, and the slightly protruding mouth with fangs that were already beginning to show, a pair of big eyes that were particularly bright.

Frankly speaking, although this little monkey looked a bit ugly at first glance, Liang Yue could faintly sense that it should have an extraordinary origin!

Reaching out, he stroked the somewhat messy fur on the little one's head, and then Liang Yue hugged it into his arms.

Who knew that this little guy seemed to be very restless. After struggling a few times, it jumped directly from his arms onto his shoulder.

Then, one claw held onto his ear, and the other claw shielded its eyes, looking around at the surrounding desert.

"Whoosh~~~"

Unfortunately, a surge of wind and sand came, seemingly blowing into the little guy's eyes.

After squeaking a few times, it hid back in his arms~

"Sniff~"

"Hmm~ It has a dusty smell on its body. It doesn't smell like a monkey that lives in trees."

Liang Yue sniffed the little guy and immediately made this judgment.

"But besides the famous monkeys like the Great Sage, the ones with a little bit of fame… could this little thing be from A Chinese Odyssey? The monkeys there seemed to be popular for a while."

"System?"

"Please check by yourself, Host."

"Alright~"

After putting the little guy into the front of his clothes, Liang Yue once again took out the spherical camera and glanced at it.

On the screen, Master Cheng, who had already been marked by him, was now riding a horse, trotting seven or eight kilometers away.

Upon seeing this, this fellow waved his hand and summoned a pure black, tall horse from the stronghold world. After putting on the tack, he jumped on the horse's back.

He just hung far behind, chasing slowly along the way.

…

At this time, looking at the information popping up on the light screen in front of him, Liang Yue narrowed his eyes, then subconsciously stroked the little guy in his arms, a satisfied smile curving at the corners of his mouth.

"Hehe heh~ Not bad~"

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Hmm? Are you hungry?"

Through the contract connection with this little guy, even without using the language proficiency skill, Liang Yue could understand what his battle pet was saying.

"Alright, I'll get you something to eat. By the way, do you eat meat? Raw or cooked?"

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Meat with blood… Little guy, you're quite fierce. Is this piece of meat okay?"

Listening to the little monkey's words, a smile flashed across Liang Yue's face.

After thinking for a moment, he flipped his sleeve and took out a large piece of meat about ten centimeters square from a secret storage box in the stronghold world.

Although it had been cut into neat squares, the meat was still twitching slightly after it appeared, and the color of the meat remained bright red, containing a considerable degree of activity!

This was exactly the dragon meat that Jingxiang-sensei and the others had dissected from Smaug back when he was in the Hobbit world…

"Squeak, squeak!"

The little guy in his arms immediately became excited the moment he saw the meat, waving his two claws constantly in the air, making eager cries from his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Liang Yue stuffed the meat into its hands, letting the little guy devour it greedily.

He urged the mount under him and chased forward.

…

"Speaking of which~ Should I give you a name? How about calling you~ Huihui (Ash)?"

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Doesn't sound good? Then, how about Huidou (Ash Bean)?"

"Squeak, squeak~!"

"Still doesn't sound good? Then how about calling you Wukong (Aware of Emptiness)?"

"Squeak?"

"Don't understand the meaning~ That's the name of a big shot, a famous figure in your monkey clan!"

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Don't recognize him? Of course, you don't recognize him! Actually, I'm not too familiar with him either…"

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Alright~ If you don't like that, then let's change it again. How about calling you~ King Kong? The meaning of ultimate strength, ultimate steel, ultimate purity, ultimate truth, moving forward without hesitation, indomitable~"

"Squeak, squeak~!"

"Decided~ This one? No changes?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~!"

"Okay~ Then little guy, your name will be King Kong from now on! Hehe heh~"

…

Looking at the little monkey in his arms, who had been fooled by his words, Liang Yue's heart suddenly surged with a sense of intellectual superiority~

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Hmm? You've already finished such a big piece of meat?"

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Want more? No, you're still young, so don't overeat for now. Digest it for a while, and we'll eat together again tonight~ Ouch!"

"Look at you, monkey, with your dirty claws! You've stained my collar black. Get down~ Wash your hands first!"

As he spoke, Liang Yue immediately dismounted, flipped his sleeve, and with a few snaps, piled up a rectangular stone trough in the desert in front of him.

He poured a bucket of infinite water into it, and it immediately began to flow out.

Then, Liang Yue put the little monkey on the stone and began to wash its greasy claws.

The big black horse on the side also came over at this time, lowered its head, and drank water.

Upon seeing this, Liang Yue simply took off the lasso from its mouth, and then took out a big red apple and stuffed it into the horse's mouth.

"Squeak, squeak~"

"You want to eat too? Alright, I didn't expect you Behemoth Giant Beasts to be omnivores~"

…

"Hey~! King Kong, what are you doing?"

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Damn! So contract battle beasts also poop?"

"Squeak, squeak~"

…

A moment later, Liang Yue pursed his lips and carefully pushed a pile of dirt with his foot, burying the pile of feces that was emitting a pungent smell.

The smell was so strong that even the big black horse next to him unconsciously retreated seven or eight meters, occupied the upwind slope, and stared from afar.

Then, Liang Yue looked at the little monkey, who was now opening his arms to him, wanting to crawl back into his clothes, and rubbed his temples.

He subconsciously took out the spherical camera, looked at Master Cheng, who was still within a controllable range on the screen, and said.

"Forget it, since we're cleaning, let's just wash thoroughly."

As he spoke, Liang Yue began to rummage through boxes, searching with his mind, and finally found a bottle of pet-specific shower gel from a box in the stronghold world~

This thing was what he had specially bought back then for Rachel and her hawk cubs.

Who knew that they wouldn't appreciate it at all, so it had been accumulating in the storage box.

"Come~ Brother will give you a bath now~"

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Stop struggling~ You're stinky all over, I don't know how long it's been since you took a bath, you might even have lice."

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Objection overruled. You have to take a bath diligently and be clean from now on."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"Don't move! If you're not used to it, then get used to it as soon as possible. You'll get used to it when you develop the habit~"
