Chapter 788
The Art of Beast Taming! Lei Shuo, Pang Mancang
"Drive! Drive!"
After leaving the city, they did not rest and continued to ride for an hour until they arrived at a mountain valley, where Zhang Lingshan finally told everyone to stop.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the crowd. Before he could speak, Yin Guangnian suddenly knelt down, crying out, "Spare me!"
Everyone was taken aback.
Some who reacted quickly followed suit and knelt down, while those who were slower to react looked puzzled, wondering what had happened.
Bai Wanxi was slow to react; she looked surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yin Guangnian said, "Miss, spare our lives! We are willing to do your best and will not accept any payment for our business. We only ask to stay by your side and clear away any pests that are in your way."
Bai Wanxi said, "Aren't you right beside us now? Why are you suddenly begging for mercy? Who wants to kill you?"
"The captain wants to kill us!" Yin Guangnian shouted.
Bai Wanxi looked at Zhang Lingshan and asked in surprise, "You want to kill them?"
Zhang Lingshan said, "I'm still hesitating and haven't made a decision yet."
Bai Wanxi was taken aback.
Does this mean you actually have this idea?
But why kill them?
Bai Wanxi was puzzled.
“They’re all a burden, useless to keep. Letting them go will only lead to them reporting us,” Zhang Lingshan explained. “However, I’m not one to kill easily, so I’m still hesitating. What do you think, Miss Bai?”
Bai Wanxi's face showed a troubled expression. She looked at the people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Then let's keep them. After all, they haven't committed any major crimes, and they might be useful on the way. Killing them like this is really..."
"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"
The crowd was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed, expressing their gratitude for being spared.
Zhang Lingshan said, "But we don't have enough horses. If the two of us ride together, it will take a lot of time."
This was indeed a problem, and Bai Wanxi couldn't help but frown.
But Yin Guangnian shouted urgently, "I know how to tame beasts! I know how to tame beasts! As long as I find a few wild animals in the mountains, I can tame them and use them as mounts. It's even more impressive than riding a horse."
Bai Wanxi was surprised: "You have this skill? Why didn't you mention it before?"
Yin Guangnian said, "When I was a child, I was captured by a monkey and raised for a period of time. Later, I survived by using the petty theft skills I learned from the monkey. However, it's not something to be proud of, so I'm embarrassed to talk about it."
Whether Yin Guangnian's words are true or false, if he truly possesses the art of animal taming, then he is indeed a useful talent.
Zhang Lingshan said, "No wonder Bai Lingfeng sent them to cause trouble; they do have some skill."
Yin Guangnian was shocked and hurriedly cried out, "I'm innocent! I wasn't sent by Bai Lingfeng, and I have nothing to do with him. Besides, given my status, I have no way of contacting Bai Lingfeng. It was Chen Bai who approached me and sent me here."
"Uncle Chen?"
Bai Wanxi's face immediately turned ugly.
She had once respected Uncle Chen quite a bit and thought he was also very loyal to her. But when Bai Lingfeng put pressure on her, he not only ran away faster than anyone else, but also specially sent people to disgust her and kick her when she was down.
That's absolutely despicable!
"So it was that old codger. He couldn't sell to me before, so now he's sending you to sabotage the trade and curry favor with Bai Lingfeng. Heh."
Zhang Lingshan sneered, then waved his hand, scattering twenty icy marks that landed on the foreheads of Yin Guangnian and his twenty men. He said, "Each of you has a mastermind behind you, so I don't trust you. I'm planting these marks on you. Anyone who dares to secretly escape will die a horrible death. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
Everyone was horrified.
The opponent's methods are truly impossible to guard against; they can leave a mark between their eyebrows with a mere flick of the wrist.
No one doubted Zhang Lingshan's words, because everyone could clearly feel a chill between their brows.
This coolness can even clear a person's mind, showing that it has an effect on their soul.
Anyone who dares to disobey will be frozen to dust, just like before when someone was a step too slow and their finger was frozen to dust.
"very good."
After saying this, Zhang Lingshan returned the rings, which he had already emptied, to everyone and said, "You can gather herbs on that mountain over there. You go gather herbs, Miss Bai stay here to watch the horses, and Yin Guangnian and I will go to this mountain to hunt beasts. We'll meet back here in two hours."
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately responded.
Although everyone had some doubts about Zhang Lingshan's arrangement, how did he know that there were medicinal herbs on that mountain and wild animals on this mountain?
Can't it be that there are medicinal herbs on this mountain and wild animals on that mountain?
Although they didn't understand, no one dared to have any objections, and they all wished they could get away from each other as soon as possible.
Just being by their side puts a heavy pressure on them.
Bai Wanxi was still a little confused as everyone started to take action.
what's the situation.
Am I just going to stay here and watch the horses?
That's seriously underestimating people.
However, before she could voice her opinion, Zhang Lingshan and Yin Guangnian had already rushed into the mountains and forests.
No one knew how strong Zhang Lingshan's divine sense was, which is why they were puzzled by his arrangements.
but.
Before a moment had passed, Yin Guangnian was stunned.
Wow, they found wild animals so easily?
It is a fierce tiger.
The beasts of the celestial realm feed on celestial spiritual energy. Even if they haven't developed intelligence or transformed into demonic beasts, they are still enormous and ferocious. It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary true immortal to subdue a tiger.
"Captain, you have to help me subdue him before I can use my beast taming technique."
Yin Guangnian called out immediately.
Before he could finish speaking, the tiger stood there trembling, whether from the cold or from fear, it was hard to tell.
Seeing this, Yin Guangnian dared not say a word. Wanting to show off, he immediately stepped forward, placed his hands on the tiger's head, and began to chant incantations.
Half a day passed.
Then, the tiger shook its head slightly and nuzzled affectionately against Yin Guangnian's chest.
"That's interesting."
Zhang Lingshan praised, "That's a good move. Teach it to me."
In fact, he could also forcibly subdue the tiger, but the efficiency would not be as high as Yin Guangnian's, and the oppressive force would be too strong. It would mainly consume his divine consciousness and would easily destroy the tiger's intelligence. Instead, he would have to rely on his own divine consciousness to control it, which would be quite troublesome.
Yin Guangnian's method was similar to making friends, making the tiger willingly help them and become a loyal pet, all without much effort, making it easy and convenient.
If you master this skill, you'll have friends everywhere in the mountains and forests, which will save you a lot of trouble.
"I... I don't know how to teach."
Yin Guangnian paused for a moment, then said, "It's not that I don't want to teach, it's that I don't know how to teach. Captain, this is my talent, I only know how to use it, can you understand?"
"I understand, I completely understand."
Zhang Lingshan nodded: "But one tiger isn't enough, we need to find some more. Tell it to wait here and not move, and you come with me."
"Yes."
Yin Guangnian immediately responded.
soon.
Following closely in Zhang Lingshan's footsteps, they soon saw another spirited horse.
Unlike the horses they had tamed, this wild horse was noticeably taller and larger, and its hooves emitted a fiery aura, making it a ferocious beast of the fire element.
If it gets angry, this horse's hooves will surely be on fire as it runs; "烈" here means "fierce" or "fierce".
As luck would have it, Zhang Lingshan's icy spiritual energy was his nemesis. Just like the fierce tiger before, this wild horse was also successfully tamed by Yin Guangnian.
Next, Zhang Lingshan led him to continue walking in the mountains.
Two hours.
In addition to the tiger and horse we initially acquired, we also obtained a white python, a ridge ox, and a wild boar.
The white python's body was covered in a layer of frost, which was of the ice attribute, matching Zhang Lingshan's nature.
The Lingniu is enormous, five times the size of an ordinary cow, resembling a small mountain ridge.
Wild boars are comparable to mountain cattle, and are equally formidable.
In fact, given the size of these beasts, there was no need for so many. The reason why Zhang Lingshan led Yin Guangnian to subdue so many beasts was mainly to observe, record, learn, and comprehend their beast-taming techniques.
Regardless of whether it's talent or not, as long as Zhang Lingshan records it down and gives it to Yan Wanfa to study day and night, one day he will be able to comprehend his own beast-taming technique.
Having many skills is never a bad thing.
Since I have the opportunity to learn this technique, I might as well learn it; it will come in handy someday.
"They subdued five at once!?"
When they returned to the mountain valley, everyone, including Bai Wanxi, was so shocked that their mouths were agape.
They had only been out of the city for a short time, yet they had already subdued five ferocious beasts.
Putting everything else aside, just taking these five heads back and selling them would make a good amount of money.
Who would have thought that making money could be so easy?
What exactly is Captain Li Xuanbing transformed from, and why does he possess such astonishing abilities?
He said there are wild animals on this mountain, so there are wild animals.
There are medicinal herbs on that mountain, so there are medicinal herbs there.
Everyone took out the medicinal herbs they had dug out of the rings, gathered them together, and placed them in front of Bai Wanxi, who was so shocked that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
When did trading become so easy?
At this rate, before they've even reached halfway to Taiyuan City, everyone's storage rings will probably be full, and they won't have anywhere to take anything else.
Thinking of this, Bai Wanxi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, and her eyes were filled with a unique emotion as she looked at Zhang Lingshan.
Who says it's wrong to bet on the other party?
This person is absolutely the savior sent by God to Bai Wanxi.
"set off!"
Zhang Lingshan waved his hand and said, "If you need to rest tonight, rest on the oxen and boars. The rest of you continue on your way. As long as there are no Golden Immortal experts on the road, there's no need to worry about anything happening."
Bai Wanxi said, "Golden Immortals all have their own affairs and can ride flying magic treasures to speed through the sky. They look down on things like ours, so there's no need to worry about Golden Immortals."
"I see." Zhang Lingshan nodded, then asked, "What about Golden Immortal demon beasts?"
Bai Wanxi smiled upon hearing this and said, "There are no demonic beasts here, only wild beasts. Even if there are demonic beasts, they cannot grow into Golden Immortals unless they are the pets of a Golden Immortal and have a powerful force as their backer."
Zhang Lingshan understood.
Yes, the Golden Immortal Pavilion has locked the number of Golden Immortals. Anyone who wants to become a Golden Immortal must go to the Golden Immortal Pavilion.
The same applies to demonic beasts that aspire to transform into Golden Immortals.
Because only in the realm of the Golden Immortal Pavilion are the rules perfected, so that one can undergo a tribulation of lightning to break through.
Therefore, with Zhang Lingshan's strength, he is an invincible existence on the ground.
Unless it was a special case like before, where Lu Zhaohe set up a barrier and personally blocked the way in order to find Zhang Lingshan, Golden Immortals are high above, who would bother to come down from their flying magical artifacts and fight with ordinary people for trash?
What is a treasure to you is trash to a Golden Immortal, someone who wouldn't even look at it.
Having learned this, Zhang Lingshan understood why merchants always sought out peak-level Xuanxian cultivators to oversee their businesses.
Because the strength of a peak Xuanxian is the overlord of the road. As long as you don't encounter a mortal enemy who insists on fighting you to the death, or a top-level Xuan beast like the Fire Kirin Beast, most troubles can be easily resolved.
Mystic beasts are wild beasts of the Mystic Immortal level.
The top-tier mystical beasts are naturally those at the peak of the Mystic Immortal realm. Moreover, wild beasts are inherently powerful, so it is perfectly reasonable that Bai Wanxi and Chen Baiyi were injured when fighting the Fire Kirin Beast.
With their strength, it's a miracle they're even alive.
However, Zhang Lingshan is leading the team now. Let alone one Fire Scale Beast, even if ten or twenty more came, they would just be free food for him.
"These people are so arrogant."
On the way, Zhang Lingshan and his group encountered other caravans, all of whom cast astonished glances at them and couldn't help but mutter under their breath.
With only twenty-two people, they rode five powerful wild beasts on their journey; even a caravan of a hundred people wouldn't be this arrogant.
Where did this come from?
"Oh, it's Miss Bai."
Suddenly, someone called out loudly, "Miss Bai, it's me, Lei Shuo. Are you also going to Taiyuan City? We're going the same way, let's travel together."
Bai Wanxi was taken aback and turned her head to look. She saw a burly young man wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. He had a square face, a stubble beard, and an unkempt appearance. His face was full of enthusiastic smiles.
She wasn't actually familiar with Lei Shuo, and even disliked him somewhat because Lei Shuo was too rough and looked dirty. Bai Wanxi really didn't like such a rash person.
However, Bai Wanxi and his sister Lei Ruo had a very good relationship, but they never saw each other again after Lei Ruo married into Taiyuan City.
Bai Wanxi decided to take this route not only because she wanted to escape and seek refuge with her mother's relatives, but also because she wanted to seek refuge with Lei Ruo.
Although I don't know Lei Ruo's current situation, what if it's good? It won't hurt to try my luck.
Unexpectedly, before they even reached Taiyuan City to see Lei Ruo, they ran into Lei Ruo's older brother, Lei Shuo, on the road.
This guy is still so unkempt and dirty.
However, out of respect for Lei Ruo, Bai Wanxi smiled politely and said, "So it's Brother Lei Shuo. No need to trouble yourself."
"No trouble at all, it's on the way."
Lei Shuo said, "And Miss Bai, I've heard about your situation. Sigh, it's just that you don't like me, otherwise I would have married you, so you wouldn't have to suffer at that sissy Tao Mingguan's place."
Bai Wanxi's face stiffened, feeling as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly.
Another reason she disliked this guy was that he was outspoken and his words could drive people crazy.
"Sorry, we need to get going."
Bai Wanxi said something, then ordered everyone to speed up.
But at that moment...
A voice rang out from one of the carriages in Lei Shuo's group: "Ahem, young brother, you must have an ice-type spiritual root. That's wonderful! I've been poisoned by fire and need someone to help me suppress it. Please, young brother, help me out."
"Fire poison?"
Bai Wanxi was taken aback.
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
When Zhang Lingshan first encountered them, it was because Chen Bai and the others had been poisoned by fire and needed Zhang Lingshan's help, which is why they took Zhang Lingshan into their team.
Now, another fire poison?
Where did all this fire poison come from?
Bai Wanxi found it coincidental, but Zhang Lingshan felt a chill run down his spine.
Damn it, because the person in that carriage was none other than Pang Mancang, whom he had tricked back at Jinglian Pavilion!
But this guy only took a combo attack from my Ember Poison Fire and Abyssal Hellfire.
Given his own strength back then, and Pang Mancang's strength as a Golden Immortal, he shouldn't have been injured to such an extent.
How could he still be suffering from fire poison that hasn't been resolved?
There's only one reason: this guy was unlucky enough to run into Lu Zhaohe and get injured by Lu Zhaohe's Ember Bone Poison Fire.
But Pang Mancang wasn't the only one who suffered; Zhang Lingshan was also among them.
How did I end up running into this old bastard here, and now he's asking me to help him suppress the poisonous fire? (End of Chapter)
