Yun Feng closed his eyes and focused, and a palm-sized, pure white jade stone appeared in his hand. Yun Feng's eyes lit up, "Little guy, this is indeed a big move, this is a transmission jade that only members of the royal family and powerful figures have. It's really hard to come by." The ancestor's laughter echoed, Yun Feng stroked the cool little stone, knowing that it was equivalent to a communication device, no matter where he went, as long as the information of a person was recorded inside, they would be able to contact each other.
Put the transmission jade stone back, Yun Feng closed his eyes and searched. The space inside the ring was not very large, but the things were indeed very precious. A small pile of ore was also placed in the ring space, but from the quality point of view, this should be a high-grade ore.
"High-grade ore, indeed..." Yun Feng gazed at the nearly hundred high-grade ores and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Mr. Zheng was truly impressive, pulling out nearly a hundred in one go. Yun Feng searched again and found several thumb-sized ores quietly lying beside a small pile of high-grade ores. These ores emitted a faint glow, as if they contained an extremely violent energy within.
Yun Feng opened his eyes, and in the palm of his hand lay this stone. Upon closer inspection, his ancestor's voice suddenly became excited, "Little guy, it's really not bad for you, top-grade ore is something I'd be willing to give up."
What? Top-grade ore?! Yun Feng's eyes widened as she stared at the thumb-sized stone. The Flashing Plains had yet to yield any top-grade ore deposits, and the production of top-grade ore was extremely low. It was already impressive that the imperial family possessed one such piece, and now Mr. Zheng was giving her several... Breaking through to advanced level, the energy from these ores could raise someone's level by a whole grade!
Yun Feng said quietly, four blocks, if she absorbed the energy here, she could reach the Unity level just by sitting on the ground!
The Mercenary Guild didn't excavate these top-grade mineral veins, so they should be Mr. Zheng's personal property now. He also spent a lot of money on them, although it's a bit heart-wrenching, but Yun Feng is worth him treating this way. Although the special-grade ore is something that everyone is crazy about, no less than the frenzy for magic beasts, yet Mr. Zheng gave out just these few, which is already a huge fortune.
As long as Yun Feng is willing to sell one of them, she will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
The stone in the palm of his hand emitted a faint glow, which seemed to have a great temptation. Yun Feng looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't bear to part with this top-grade ore. He didn't notice that the lively meatball on his shoulder had suddenly become quiet, its grape-like big eyes staring fixedly at the special ore in Yun Feng's hand, shining with a crystal light, its mouth slowly opening as if it was about to drool.
"Whoosh!" Yun Feng only felt the weight on her shoulder lighten, a black shadow flashed before her eyes, quickly pouncing towards her palm. Yun Feng subconsciously clenched her fist tightly, but in just an instant, the top-grade ore in her palm had vanished. The black shadow from earlier had transformed into a furry ball, falling onto Yun Feng's knee, its fluffy fur and small paws dragging the top-grade ore along with it.
"Meatball, bring it here!" Yun Feng thought Meatball was playing a prank, stretching out his hand to get the rare ore from this little thing. Meatball hummed a few times, its small paws dragging the rare ore, those black and shiny eyes staring fixedly at the rare ore. In the end, it actually opened its mouth and swallowed the ore in one gulp!
Yun Feng saw it at once, and immediately picked up the meatball's body with both hands, holding its hind neck and shaking its plump little body vigorously. "Meatball, spit it out quickly! That's a mineral, you can't eat it!"
The meatball's mouth was open and bulging, and it hadn't heard Yun Feng's words at all. The mineral seemed to make a faint sound in its mouth, and the meatball let Yun Feng swing its body back and forth, its mouth moving slightly, and the mineral was completely swallowed up.
"Open up, let me see!" Yun Feng's face tightened, her two hands pinched the small face of Rou Yuan, forcing open its mouth. Rou Yuan looked at Yun Feng with some dissatisfaction, but allowed her to do so. As soon as its mouth was opened, Yun Feng was shocked. She had originally thought that Rou Yuan was a tame and harmless magical creature, like those ornamental ones. But inside this small mouth were numerous sharp teeth, looking exceptionally fierce!
Yun Feng quickly swept a glance, didn't find the shadow of the top-grade ore at all, then let go, Rou Yuan's body rolled on Yun Feng's knee for a circle, with a satisfied expression, as if he had eaten his fill, and even let out a burp!
Yun Feng furrowed his brow, staring at the meatball on his knee. He thought for a moment, and when the meatball stood up, its fluffy tail slapped Yun Feng's hand. Those bright, shiny eyes looked at Yun Feng with a watery gaze, and Yun Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Rouqiu nodded hastily, Yunfeng's face turned dark. What kind of creature was following her? There were magical beasts that ate minerals as food? However, the world of magical beasts was full of wonders, and encountering such a thing could be considered one of her adventures.
Yun Feng thought for a moment, the top-grade ore had four pieces, and Rouyuan swallowed one in one bite, leaving three. It seemed that Rouyuan's stomach was not small, and one piece couldn't satisfy it. However, these three pieces couldn't be given to it again, perhaps they could still be used in the future. Yun Feng wanted to keep two pieces for his brother and father, as long as they absorbed the energy inside, their strength would also leap to a new level!
Yun Feng's hand shook, and a mid-grade ore appeared in his hand. He waved it in front of Rou Yu, only to find that the latter's big eyes showed dissatisfaction. With a twist of its body, Rou Yu turned its butt towards Yun Feng, leaving him stunned - apparently, this mid-grade ore was beneath its notice.
Put the intermediate mineral back, shook his hand, and a high-grade mineral was placed in his hand. Rouyuan slightly turned his head, looked at the high-grade mineral, Yunfeng handed over the high-grade mineral, Rouyuan's small paws slowly accepted it, and somewhat reluctantly stuffed it into his mouth. Those eyes seemed to be accusing Yunfeng of being petty.
Yun Feng laughed, it seems that high-grade ore is the lowest standard for Rou Qiu, in this case, she can't afford to raise her... Where can she find high-grade ore and special-grade ore?
"Meatball, are you trying to bankrupt me...?" Yun Feng asked the sky in silence, feeling a bit powerless. The high-grade ore from earlier had been swallowed by Meatball and was now rubbing against his shoulder, trying to curry favor. Yun Feng was speechless - did this count as currying favor? What had it seen in him that made it think he was someone who possessed top-grade ores?
"Little guy, since this little meatball eats minerals, it should have a special sense of the mineral veins." The ancestor's words made Yun Feng's eyes light up, and he swung the meatball in front of his own face, "Tell me, do you know where the mineral vein is?"
Rouqiu looked at Yunfeng with a glance, nodded his small head, and Yunfeng suddenly became overjoyed. Rouqiu actually knew the location of the ore vein! Given its character, the ore vein it discovered must be either high-grade or special-grade!
"Is Sparkling Plains really without any special ore veins?" Yun Feng thought for a moment, nodding his head in understanding. If there were indeed special ore veins, Rouyuan would have rushed over already.
The little meatball's head nodded again, not liking Yun Feng to pinch it. Its small body swayed and dodged Yun Feng's fingers, returning to her shoulder once more.
The great ability of Rouyu can be said to be a heavenly coincidence. Finding ore veins is a very difficult thing, but with the existence of Rouyu, Yunfeng doesn't need to take action himself. As long as he follows Rouyu's instructions, he can find ore veins 100%, and they are high-grade or special-grade ore veins!
That is to say, for Yun Feng, the unexcavated ore veins are all wild flowers and grasses that can be seen at any time on the side of the road, and they are all clear at a glance!
If someone knew about Rouyu's ability, they would probably risk their lives to take it away... Yun Feng smiled, this little thing had stuck to her at first, and she hadn't thought much of it, but unexpectedly it had such a great ability. Her fingers lightly tapped on Rouyu's small head, if it didn't have this ability, just relying on herself would be really hard to make ends meet.
Attention returned to the ring space, Yun Feng searched again, and then there was an extra scroll in his hand. The surface of the scroll had three big words written on it: Taming Beast Technique.
"Zhèng rán dào shì hěn wéi nǐ kǎo lǜ, lián zhè yàng de dōng xī dōu shì gěi le nǐ, xiǎo jiā huo, zhèng rán duì nǐ shí shǔ bù cuò."
Translation:
"Zheng Ran is indeed very considerate of you, even giving you such things. Little guy, Zheng Ran is actually quite good to you."
Yun Feng looked at the scroll in her hand, and from the name, she also knew what this beast-taming technique was used for. However, Mr. Zhengran really couldn't have imagined that she was a summoner and didn't need this at all. Nevertheless, there was still a warm feeling in her heart.
"Taming magic is a secret technique that people have researched, because outsiders cannot understand the summoner's contract array, but they still want to ride magical beasts, so they have researched this kind of secret technique. It can indeed tame magical beasts, but it makes them completely lose their combat ability and can only become mounts or pets."
Yun Feng nodded, and his ancestor's explanation was tinged with a hint of regret and reluctance. As a summoner, there is a special bond between them and their magical beasts, once contracted they are bound together in life and death. However, these tamed magical beasts were indeed different, having completely lost their original abilities, just like a lion that had its teeth and claws ripped out, only able to play the role of a large cat. This was actually a deep humiliation for the magical beast itself.
"Not many people understand this secret method, and they are also known as beast tamers. The demon beasts serve as mounts only to satisfy human desires, no different from horses. You little guy don't need this, but for the future development of the Yun family, this thing is a great help."
Yun Feng nodded. Once the Yun family develops, they must have an aura that is not inferior to others! If the people of the Yun family possess a magical beast as a mount, what a magnificent sight it would be!
Yun Feng didn't know that even the Kalan royal family only had a few magical mounts, and they were obtained at great cost in terms of thought and wealth. If the Yun family really had one per person, the Kalan royal family would be green with envy.
The taming technique was lost again, and it wasn't needed now. After sitting for a while, Yun Feng realized that the small fire was very close to him. He stood up with satisfaction, patted off the grass dust on his body, and suddenly sensed that apart from the small fire, there were several other auras!
"Xiao Huo, you're being followed?" Yun Feng and Xiao Huo's minds connected instantly.
"A few damn humans have been chasing me all the way, Master, you only gave me half a day's time, I don't have the leisure to drag them along, it's just that they actually followed me all the way here." Xiao Huo said with some annoyance, his tone was anxious, if not for Yun Feng's order, he would have taken care of these people first!
Yun Feng smiled and said, "It's nothing, you don't have to mind those people."
Xiao Huo grunted and accelerated, before long, Yun Feng saw a dark red glow rushing towards him. Xiao Huo's body fell to the ground with only a faint sound, his agile body leaped lightly and pounced on Yun Feng.
"Little girl, get out of the way!" A loud shout came over, accompanied by a powerful wave of battle energy rushing over. Xiao Huo was impatient and with a fierce swing of his wolf tail, he dispersed the incoming wave of battle energy entirely. His body had already stood in front of Yun Feng without any hesitation.
Yun Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the three people rushing towards him from a distance, two of whom were sixth-level warriors. The previous attack seemed to be for self-protection?
"Whoosh!" Three figures suddenly appeared, two men and one woman, all in their twenties. They were dressed in different dark colors and stared at Yun Feng. The two young men's faces tensed up when they saw Xiao Huo standing in front of Yun Feng.
"Hey little girl, don't move! We'll take care of this beast!"
Yun Feng didn't move, her eyebrows slightly raised as she silently watched the three people. The woman, however, looked at Yun Feng with some impatience, "What are you doing? Why haven't you caught that Fire Cloud Wolf yet?"
"But once there's action, then there's a little girl..."
"You want to die?! That little girl is going out to send herself to death, what does it have to do with us?! I want that Fire Cloud Wolf, I want it as my mount!"
The little fire suddenly let out a loud roar, the woman's words deeply insulting its proud self-esteem. "Roar..." A wave of heat accompanied by sparks rapidly radiated towards the three people, the two men's battle aura stirred, immediately forming a barrier that barely withstood the little fire's attack. After the heat passed, all three people were panting heavily.
"What are you waiting for, grab it!" The woman seemed to be enraged, her pretty face twisted in anger, pointing at Xiao Huo and shouting loudly. Xiao Huo's paws dug deep into the ground, his sharp teeth already bared, but he restrained himself from tearing out the woman's throat only because Yun Feng had not given the order.
Yun Feng coldly gazed at her, if she was indeed a little girl who had mistakenly wandered into this place, she would probably have lost her life on the spot. This woman simply didn't take human lives seriously, only thinking of her own selfish desires. People like this... were just like a pile of trash, making one feel disgusted just by looking at them.
"I want that one too!" The woman saw something, her eyes lit up, and she stared at the meatball on Yun Feng's shoulder, her greedy gaze making the fur stand on end. The meatball growled lowly, baring its teeth at the woman.
The two demons beside Yun Feng became somewhat violent, while the two men were so angry that they couldn't help but laugh. That demon was obviously that little girl's, how could they snatch it?
"Little girl! I'll save you this time, give me the little thing on your shoulder!" The woman said with a haughty tone, completely unaware of how obedient Xiao Huo was in front of Yun Feng. If Yun Feng were an ordinary person, he wouldn't be able to stand here talking right now. It's likely that these few people would have already become Xiao Huo's prey.
"Save me? Which eye of yours saw that I needed your rescue?" Yun Feng sneered, her small face carrying a hint of disdain. She needs this woman to save her? It's them who should be begging for help instead.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!" The woman's face turned cold, and her eyes staring at Yun Feng also became increasingly fierce.
"Who are you? Tell me." Yun Feng stood there leisurely, Xiao Huo Lang's eyes were fiercely staring at the people in front of him, waiting for Yun Feng to give the order to tear them apart.
"I am the daughter of Katsuragi Castle's lord! You little servant girl, don't force me to be harsh on you..."
Yun Feng let out a direct yawn, the woman's awkward and embarrassed expression froze on her face, the other two men's faces also twitched slightly. Yun Feng's small hand casually patted Xiao Huo's head, "Let's go, it's boring."
The little fire wolf let out two low growls, its fierce wolf eyes looked at the three of them with some reluctance, and followed Yun Feng from behind. The three of them couldn't help but stare blankly, what's going on with that Fire Cloud Wolf? And what's its relationship with that little girl, it actually followed her so obediently!
"Halt!" The woman shouted, and the two men beside her also came to their senses. They grabbed the woman and chased after him together, blocking Cloud Maple's path.
"What else?" Yun Feng lazily asked, also feeling a bit annoyed in her heart. The woman's eyes stared at Yun Feng, looking at her hand, and the other two men were the same. When they saw that Yun Feng's hands were empty, the woman seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
"Little girl, I wouldn't have thought that someone as small as you is a beast tamer. I'll give you a satisfactory price, I want these two."
Xiao Huo and Rou Qiu's faces changed color upon hearing this, the air around Xiao Huo suddenly surged to a nearly distorted temperature, revealing its furious emotions at this moment.
Yun Feng's small hand touched Xiao Huo's head, pinched its ears, and the temperature around Xiao Huo slowly dropped. However, it was very annoyed in its heart. Damn it, this woman actually wanted to make it her mount? A mutated magical beast as your mount, do you think you're God?
Yun Feng remained silent, and the woman was getting impatient. "My price must be satisfactory to you. You're taming magical beasts for money, aren't you? What's with the pretentious act?"
Yun Feng laughed. Rich? She can now say that she is richer than the Balan royal family, and yet she is being given charity by a woman, and it's not even the kind that she wants to accept. How interesting.
Yun Feng directly bypassed three people, thoroughly ignoring them, and this kind of brainless talk was just one word: exhausting.
"Little girl, are you trying to force my hand?!" The woman's voice was cold and stern. The two men beside her were also radiating intense fighting spirit, as if they too had no choice but to follow suit. Yun Feng felt the fluctuations in the auras of the two 6th-level warriors and slowly turned around, catching sight of the triumphant look on the woman's face - perhaps she thought he was intimidated.
"Little girl, do you think you're impressive just because you've tamed a magical beast? Do you think you're a summoner? The beast you've tamed is just like a little cat, it has no abilities at all! You still dare to shout at me? If you recognize the reality, then obediently make this deal with me. If you insist on refusing, I'll have no choice but to take it by force. And when that happens, don't say I didn't warn you!"
The woman shouted loudly, thinking that Yun Feng would know better, but unexpectedly she still had the same attitude, directly ignoring her and walking away. The woman was furious and shouted, "Kill her for me!"
Two warriors were stunned, and then both of them charged forward, slashing at Yun Feng. Before they could get close, a furious beast roar echoed through the area, "Roar... Don't even think about harming my master!"
Xiao Huo's wolf-like mouth suddenly opened wide, and a dark red flame suddenly shot out. The two warriors were both shocked and lost their color. The dark red flame, like a lightning bolt, struck their bodies, rapidly burning along their skin!
"Ah!" The two warriors' mournful cries echoed through the sky, and the woman's face had turned pale at the sight of this scene, trembling with fear as she sat paralyzed on the ground!
Yun Feng took a step forward, her small hand touched the wolf's head of Xiao Huo, indicating that it could dissipate its anger. Her small hand turned, and blue icy water elements appeared out of thin air, extinguishing the dark red flames on the two warriors' bodies. The two men, who had been roasted to a half-cooked state, fell weakly to the ground, letting out faint low moans.
The woman looked at Yun Feng as he walked over, his hands and feet in a sorry state, his back arched in a wolf-like posture. A pair of large eyes stared at Yun Feng in terror, "You... you... you..." He stuttered for half the day, unable to say another word. At this moment, she really wanted to bite her tongue off. The magical beast that the beast tamer had tamed shouldn't have lost its original abilities, right? So what was going on with this one? Could it be that it hadn't been tamed? But if it hadn't been tamed, how could it be so obediently following him around?
A woman's mind is a mess, unable to think of anything that makes sense, just constantly retreating, retreating, and retreating again... until she retreated all the way to the base of the tree, where she couldn't retreat any further, and finally came to a complete stop.
Yun Feng looked down at the woman with a condescending gaze, her pale complexion and terrified eyes. Yun Feng felt a wave of disdain in his heart, slowly raising his smooth hands, "What, do you have any questions?"
The woman nodded subconsciously, at this moment just like a newborn baby, can only use actions to express her own meaning. Yun Feng's mouth was slightly open, with a cold smile, and his black eyes were as deep as an unfathomable abyss, making people feel icy chill with just one glance.
"Who told you that a summoner must wear the Contract Ring?" Yun Feng's words made the woman's pupils suddenly shrink! Summoner, she is... she is... a summoner!
"No, no, no, no..." The woman trembled with her lips, unable to say a complete sentence. Yun Feng raised the corner of his mouth and ignored the woman, patting Xiao Huo's head with his small hand. Not far away, he suddenly turned back, a mischievous smile on his face, "I was just joking earlier..."
The woman's face suddenly turned white with no blood color, her body completely paralyzed there, a pair of eyes could only watch Yun Feng's figure, accompanied by a giant wolf, gradually walking away, until she disappeared into the place she couldn't see.
"Master, why didn't you let me kill them?" Xiao Huo followed Yun Feng's side, complaining all the way with a somewhat dissatisfied tone. This time Yun Feng did not seal him away again, and Xiao Huo was very happy, but thinking of those few people from earlier made his heart feel annoyed.
Yun Feng smiled and pinched Xiao Huo's ear, "Kill them, dirty your hands." Rou Yuan called out a few times on Yun Feng's shoulder, seemingly in agreement. Xiao Huo glared at Rou Yuan with dissatisfaction, baring his teeth, as if hinting to Rou Yuan that he would eat him in one bite if he made another sound.
One person and two magical beasts slowly moved forward, gradually entering the northern region of Geyuan, while inside Geyuan City, a stormy wave was stirred up!
"Is what you're saying true?!" A thunderous roar echoed from the castle of the lord of Katsuragi, as he glared at his daughter who had returned with a wolf-like expression. The news she brought back was enough to change the color of Lord Katsuragi's face completely.
Summoner! The Kalan Empire has actually produced a summoner!
The lord of Katsurayama Castle couldn't help but tremble at the mere thought, and he began to pace back and forth, while his daughter stood silently, completely devoid of her usual arrogant personality.
The lord of Katsuragi's brain began to spin rapidly, what should they do? Should they report it to the Karan royal family? No, absolutely not! If this summoner really appeared in Katsuragi and they let her go, the Karan royal family would be furious and wipe out his entire family!
The Karan royal family had been waiting for the Summoner for many years, just like a childless couple yearning for a child, with a crazed frenzy in their hearts. If there was even a slight mistake, the Karan royal family's wrath would mercilessly reduce him to ashes!
"Is this message only known to you?" The city master narrowed his eyes and looked at his own daughter, the woman nodded, not making a sound, possibly because she was still in shock from earlier and hadn't calmed down yet.
The castle owner rubbed his chin, and after walking for nearly a hundred rounds, he finally stood firm, his eyes shining brightly. "This news can't be known to a third person! Until we find that summoner!"
Yun Feng continued on his way, and after passing through a stretch of forest, what came into view was an enormous, seemingly bottomless chasm. The surface of the chasm emitted waves of intense energy, and Yun Feng walked over to it, standing at the edge of the gap, feeling the scorching heat that wafted up. "Where is this place..."
"Little one, this is the Great Rift, a path of death." The words of his ancestors echoed in his mind as Yun Feng gazed at the seemingly bottomless and wide crevice before him, surrounded by barren land devoid of even a single blade of grass.
"Whoa!" Rouyuan's body suddenly lurched, and he abruptly flipped off Yunfeng's shoulder, Yunfeng only saw Rouyuan's body quickly turn into a black line as he rushed straight towards the crack!
"Ròu Qiú, come back!" Yún Fēng's spiritual power suddenly formed a long whip that lashed out towards Ròu Qiú's small body, but Ròu Qiú's speed was incredibly fast, and Yún Fēng's spiritual power missed its mark!
That plump little body suddenly disappeared into the gap, as if swallowed by a wide open mouth! "Damn it!" The blue water element quickly wrapped around his whole body, and Yun Feng's body was also rushing towards the crack. "Little guy, what are you doing!" Ancestor couldn't help but shout in surprise, Yun Feng smiled softly, his black eyes staring at the crack right in front of him, the heat wave and high temperature constantly coming towards him, being slowly neutralized by the water element.
"What to do, of course is to do crazy things!" As soon as the words fell, the light blue figure jumped in fiercely, with Xiao Huo following closely behind, letting out an excited howl. The dark red wolf body also jumped in without hesitation, and following such a master was indeed a thrilling thing!
