A Person Among a Group of Great Demons

Unexpectedly, there was a pause on the other end, followed by a yawning, "Oh, I got it. Is there anything else?" 

"Not for now..."

"Then I'm going to bed. Anything can happen in dreams. Bye-bye."

Hearing the echo of "du du du" from the other side, Professor Qin was so enraged he wanted to smash his phone.

This crazy woman, who had been his wife for decades, how could she not believe him at the most critical moment?

It was infuriating!

"No! I need to tell my other friends about this. What if something happens to me inside..."

Just as Professor Qin was about to call some old friends, he suddenly heard the voice of the vice-captain behind him, "Professor Qin! We're all ready and can set off at any time!"

Professor Qin paused for a moment, stood still to think, then put away his phone and resolutely turned around, shouting, "Let's go! We're setting off to capture the deity's shadow!!"

He realized that if even his beloved wife didn't believe him, those old friends surely wouldn't either.

So rather than waste time calling them, it was better to gather evidence directly!

Then he could throw those photos and recordings in their faces, letting them witness what a real deity looked like!

Just thinking about that scene made Professor Qin incredibly excited, and his steps became much lighter.

Soon, the entire geological survey team gathered together.

Each team member stood tall and proud, their faces filled with excitement, and they carried all sorts of equipment.

Some had flashlights, some had cameras, and others were loaded with various gear… they really brought all useful equipment!

Following this, at Professor Qin's command, the team quickly moved toward the small village.

Ten minutes later, they saw the entrance to the small village again.

The team members were even more excited than during the day, as if they would see the deity's figure in the next moment!

This would be the closest they had ever been to a deity in their lives!!

Professor Qin's emotions were also heightened!

However, he didn't let this excitement cloud his judgment. He quickly calmed down, raised his right hand, and made a pre-arranged signal.

Immediately, the team members behind him, without a word, crouched down and began to move forward little by little, using both hands and feet.

They tried to make no sound, hoping not to disturb the mutated animals inside the village.

At the same time, this would make what they were about to do much easier.

Thus, the entire geological survey team began to crawl forward, getting closer and closer to the entrance of the small village…

The hope of seeing the deity was right in front of them!!

…

In the courtyard, An Chen walked over to the giant panda, listening to Meng Gun Gun's explanation while sketching the corresponding picture in his mind.

"Teacher, I drew a lush bamboo forest with lots of freshly sprouted bamboo shoots. They're so delicious..."

When An Chen heard "so delicious," he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

In his memory, this student named Meng Gun Gun was indeed quite the foodie.

He ate the most every day and was, of course, the plumpest.

So when he heard Meng Gun Gun say those bamboo shoots were delicious, An Chen wasn't surprised at all.

He even smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Bamboo shoots paired with other dishes are indeed very delicious. Perhaps we should add this dish for tomorrow's meal."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

The giant panda's eyes lit up, almost drooling.

The other powerful beings laughed upon seeing this scene, some grinning widely, some covering their mouths to stifle laughter, and some chuckling quietly...

It was a delightful variety of reactions!

At this moment, An Chen curiously asked, "Besides this bamboo forest, did you draw any other scenery?"

"Yes, teacher."

The giant panda pointed to the drawings on the board and explained again, "I also drew the river in our village, with a stone bridge over it."

By the way, teacher, this painting is of me.

I'm sitting on the stone bridge fishing, and I've caught a lot of fish, which I'm giving to you to eat."

Upon hearing this, An Chen immediately envisioned a chubby student sitting on the bridge, jumping excitedly each time he caught a fish, putting it into a bamboo basket, and continuing to fish.

What warmed An Chen's heart was that this student was giving all the fish he caught to him, not thinking of keeping even one for himself…

An Chen was deeply moved, feeling a warm current flow through him, making him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Having such a student who cares for and cherishes him, how could it matter if he had been blind for three years?

Everything was worth it!

So, An Chen smiled in satisfaction and praised, "Very good, very good! You've drawn this beautifully, and I really like this painting. But remember, if you catch a lot of fish in the future, you should keep some for yourself, you don't need to give them all to me."

The giant panda nodded thoughtfully, saying, "Okay, teacher, I'll listen to you! But fishing is really hard; I still haven't caught a single fish..."

The other powerful beings wanted to laugh at this but dared not, even refraining from exposing the truth, fearing the giant panda would slap them to death.

After all, this giant panda was the most powerful among them.

Even the transformed Xiao Qing wouldn't dare to be reckless in front of it.

Only the teacher could keep it in check.

So, the other powerful beings held back their laughter, not daring to reveal the truth about the giant panda's fishing struggles.

Hearing Meng Gun Gun's complaints, An Chen couldn't help but laugh and comfort him, saying, "Fishing is indeed a test of patience. Without sufficient focus and patience, you won't catch any fish. Meng Gun Gun, you just learned how to fish; there's no need to rush. Take your time. I believe one day you will catch fish."

"Thank you, teacher."

The giant panda quickly stood up, clasping its paws together in a respectful gesture, thanking the teacher for this advice.

"No need to be polite."

As soon as An Chen finished speaking, he heard Xiao Qing's gentle voice, "Teacher, I've finished my painting too. Please give me your guidance."

"Oh? Xiao Qing, go ahead."

An Chen walked over to Ye Xiao Qing's side, indicating she could speak.

So, Ye Xiao Qing, looking at the painting on the board, smiled and began, "I painted the scene of when I first met you, teacher..."

At that moment, the geological survey team finally arrived at the entrance of the small village.

They didn't dare to stand up to look inside, so they continued to crouch down, peering into the courtyard.

However, what they saw this time left them utterly horrified, shock clearly etched on their faces!

"What?! There's a person standing among a group of monsters???"
