C14 To Xiangyang City

Somewhere in the forest, Lu Yang was sitting on the ground, gasping for breath. Beside him, the Crimson Flame Tiger was lying on the ground weakly, and in front of him was a bloody black panther.

"As expected of the Middle Level Vicious Beast, I relied on my familiarity with the forest to coordinate with the Crimson Flame Tiger to launch a sneak attack. Only by doing everything I can did I manage to safely kill this beast!" Lu Yang touched his chest, he was clawed by the black panther during the battle. Fortunately he dodged quickly, otherwise, it was possible that the claw would have pierced through his body.

To deal with one Middle Level Vicious Beast, the other War Pet s would just be decorations, and could only possess a body to increase Lu Yang's fighting strength at the beginning. Their main attack was still to attack the Crimson Flame Tiger, and in order to let the Crimson Flame Tiger fight, Lu Yang had immediately fed it the three Scarlet Fruits.

"War Pet: Crimson Flame Tiger."

"Attribute: Fire"

"Level: Primary Level Vicious Beast"

"Bloodline: Elite Level."

"Growth Points: 80/100"

The length of the Crimson Flame Tiger was already very high, it was just 20 points away from levelling up. Furthermore, the Elite Level Bloodline was very strong, it was actually comparable to the black panther that was ranked above, and with Lu Yang aiding him in his sneak attack from the side, he suppressed the black panther from the start.

However, in order to end the battle quickly, Lu Yang chose to merge with the Crimson Flame Tiger directly and use his absolute strength and speed to brutally suppress it. Otherwise, when the three of them reacted, he would be in danger.

Fur, bones, claws, and other materials were all used to refine medicine and forge weapons. However, the space of the Heaven and Earth Bag was really limited, and time was also limited, so the only thing Lu Yang could take away was the black panther's crystal core.

An Intermediate Crystal Core was equivalent to ten Primary Level Crystal Nucleus, which was not a small gain.

Not even a minute after Lu Yang left, the three of them arrived at the place. When they saw the black panther's corpse, the three of them immediately changed their expressions, especially Liu Feng, whose face was ashen.

"Damn it! I must kill that brat! " Looking at the black panther's empty skull, Liu Feng's eyes were spitting fire. This was his one and only Intermediate War Pet, back then he had spent a lot of effort and now he had been killed, this loss was not small.

Earlier, he was still completely confident that his most prized War Pet could catch Lu Yang and bring him back within three seconds. But the reality was that in his eyes, that despicable villager had killed the black panther and even dug out his crystal core.

"Fuck, that brat is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger! What a bastard! " Wang Qi couldn't help but curse. However, a trace of relief flashed through his eyes.

"Humph!" "This time, we were just careless. I never thought that a villager would actually be a Beast-controlling Master. Liu Feng, don't worry, this time, even if we have to search through all the villages and towns nearby, we will find that brat!" Wu Ye glanced at Wang Qi in dissatisfaction. What the hell was he talking about, didn't he mean that they were the ones that had been eaten? Of course, the three Scarlet Fruits were still on his mind.

"..."

With a strong War Pet like the Crimson Flame Tiger, his speed of hunting wild beasts had increased by a large margin. This time, he had only used half a month's time, and the harvest was even more than the month before.

"There are only 30 Primary Level Crystal Nucleus in total, and one intermediate grade crystal core is still quite a bit off!" In the past half month, he had harvested a total of 72 Primary Level Crystal Nucleus s, as well as the intermediate grade crystal core. However, he could not wait to raise the number of Crimson Flame Tiger to his maximum, so he spent 20 Primary Level Crystal Nucleus s, caught 12 giant mastiff s, and expanded the package of pets to a total of 10 flowers.

An Intermediate Crystal Core could increase a War Pet's growth rate by 10 points and a Primary Level Crystal Nucleus's growth rate by a little, but an Intermediate Crystal Core was extremely scarce for Lu Yang right now. For example, the upgrade of the Myriad Beasts Smelting Furnace required 100 Intermediate Crystal Cores.

That was why he kept the only intermediate crystal core.

"Ding!" The War Pet s will grow to the maximum, causing them to level up to Intermediate War Pet, do you want to level up? "

"Ding!" Due to the host lacking Middle Level Beast-controlling Technique, the War Pet will leave the host's control after it passes the promotion. The host recommends that the host learn Middle Level Beast-controlling Technique before advancing! "

Originally, he had been full of anticipation to be able to advance into the Middle Level Beast-controlling Master, but he never thought that there would be such a restriction. The value of the Middle Level Beast-controlling Technique was ten times more than the Primary Level Beast-controlling Technique, even higher stars were worth a few thousand gold taels.

Gold, not silver.

Other than that, Lu Yang saw a virtual button that was extracted from the Crimson Flame Tiger's individual information panel. After asking the system, the host was able to forcefully extract the War Pet's innate skill for himself.

This ability made Lu Yang think of a character in an animation film from his previous life.

"Ding!" Extraction of the [Divine Scarlet Flame] requires 100 Primary Level Crystal Nucleus s or crystals, would you like to extract it? " However, the Beastmaster System's prompt once again made Lu Yang want to cry.

"Money, oh money, money is really needed everywhere!" Right now, Primary Level Beast-controlling Master was just burning money like that. Thinking about it again, Lu Yang felt a headache, it was probably not enough to kill all the beasts in the mountains near the Qingyang Town.

It just so happened that at this time when they were in need of money the berserk beasts in the mountains suddenly became very rare. Sometimes, they might even encounter a berserk beast every day.

"What exactly is going on? Where did they all go? " Lu Yang frowned deeply. He didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition, but no matter how hard he tried to scratch his scalp, he couldn't think of a reason.

"..."

Mother, I plan to enter the city tomorrow to sell off those beast furs and check out the house as well. There is still a month before the new year ends. At dinner time, Lu Yang said to his mother.

"Brother!" "I heard they have a lot of fun and delicious food in the city. Is that true?" Before Mother Su could say anything, Little Lu Li asked with his eyes wide open and a look of longing on his face.

Every once in a while, there would be hunters organizing convoys to sell ferocious beasts' furs and handicrafts in the countryside. There were quite a few children who had taken a ride into the city to get a look and boasted about it whenever they returned. Lu Li had heard so much about it, so he naturally yearned for the world inside the city.

"Of course it's true. Very soon, we will move into the city. At that time, Li will be able to play and have fun in the city every day!" Lu Yang laughed.

"Yay!" Great! Brother! I want to eat a lot of delicious things! " Little Lu Li was so excited that he was dancing with joy. His eyes were curved with laughter and he looked extremely adorable.

Mother Su helplessly smiled and said, "Ah Yang, now that you are grown up, no matter what mother you have, I will support you. However, once you enter the city, you have to be low-key and endure everything. Do you know? "

"Mother, don't worry! Right, after the new year, Ah Li will soon be six years old. At that time, we can test his talent in the city! " Lu Yang nodded, and then patted Li's head and said expectantly.

Ever since he became the Beast-controlling Master, the food at home had improved greatly. Almost all of the meat at a single meal was from the fierce beasts, and Lu Li had been jumping very fast, almost 1.4m tall, and his body was extremely sturdy. He held high hopes for his younger brother Lu Yang.

"Li will become a Beast-controlling Master and become an outstanding man like big brother!" Little Lu Li clenched his small, meaty fists. His young face was full of fighting spirit.

This was a world where everyone worshipped the strong and respected heroes. This was a concept that even a three or four year old child would have.

"Mom does not hope that you two brothers will have much ability in the future. I just hope that you two will be safe and sound!" A faint trace of sadness flashed through Su's mother's eyes, but it was quickly drowned by benevolence.

However, Lu Yang had always been a meticulous person, his senses after becoming a Beast-controlling Master had improved tremendously. Even though his mother's fleeting change was very obscure, he was still able to notice it.

This mother of his seemed to be hiding some sort of secret within her heart. Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still didn't ask.

The next morning.

Lu Yang followed Qingyang Town and headed towards the Xiangyang City together with the convoy. This made the people in the convoy extremely happy, because the road to Xiangyang City was not peaceful, and if they were unlucky, they might encounter bandits and robbers alike. With the help of Beast-controlling Master, it was undoubtedly a form of security for the convoy.

"Tsk, tsk, they are all the fur and claws of a fierce beast. Beast-controlling Master is indeed powerful, and looking at us, we are all ferocious beasts.

"This batch of goods is more than all of us combined, and much more valuable. The last time I went into the city, I saw someone selling a piece of beast fur for ten taels of silver!" "Ah Yang, I think there should be more than a hundred pieces of it. Tsk tsk, it should be worth at least a thousand taels of silver!"

"We have to treat you!" We have to treat you! "

The group of men chatted as they looked enviously at Lu Yang's cart of goods. However, these men were all simple and straightforward men, they were just purely envious, and did not have any evil intentions towards Lu Yang. They even started joking with him.

"Haha!" "No problem!" Lu Yang was in a very good mood. These furs and fangs were all things he had collected from hunting fierce beasts during this period of time.

When it was almost noon, the convoy finally arrived at the Xiangyang City. Although the body's owner had come here before, it was still Lu Yang's first time seeing it.

"What a magnificent city!" Lu Yangxin sighed inwardly.

The city walls alone were more than a hundred meters high, just like a gigantic mountain lying horizontally across them, looking imposing and majestic. The tall and wide city gates were filled with carriages, and it was possible to see many people dressed in luxurious clothing, and there were even some vicious beasts entrusting carriages to them. What was even more refreshing was that there were also many Beast-controlling Master riding aerial War Pet s passing by.
