The man who was reprimanded nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, the shopkeeper taught me a lesson."
The shopkeeper said again: "Do what you can do. This is the most basic rule of survival. If you want to take a step forward, you must first establish a foothold in the Spirit Beast Hall."
Tang Feng was a little surprised at first. The voices of the two speakers were a bit familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere. It was not until the shopkeeper mentioned the words Spiritual Beast Hall that Tang Feng suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper actually
It was the shopkeeper of the Spiritual Beast Hall in Jingan City, and the other one was the waiter who beat the gong and shouted at the entrance of the Spiritual Beast Hall.
Tang Feng had thought about the source of the ornamental spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Hall before. The only place near Jingan City that could produce spirit beasts was Quting Mountain, and the Spirit Beast Hall only opened every half month. It was obviously because of them.
The reason for going to Quting Mountain to find the source of goods.
Although Quting Mountain is behind Tianxiu, it is not difficult to get in. In addition to experts like Ye Chenqiu who can go in directly, they can also go in from the other side by taking a long detour. After all, Quting Mountain
It is so big, and it is not marked with the Tianxiu mark. It is not considered Tianxiu's private property. However, Tianxiu sits at the foot of Quting Mountain. Most people will not enter the mountain. Firstly, it is to give Tianxiu face, and secondly, it is also Quting.
There are many dangers in the mountain, and it is really impossible to get in without some skills.
As the group of people walked, the shopkeeper of the Spiritual Beast Hall suddenly said: "We can't go any further. Going forward is the territory of the third-level spirit beasts. No one among us can defeat them."
They are somewhat self-aware. The second-level spirit beasts are equivalent to the upper-level cultivators of the yellow level. With the strength of this group of people, as long as they don't encounter hordes, there will be no danger. But the third-level spirit beasts are not in danger.
It's different with beasts. If they encounter them, one or two people will definitely die.
Tang Feng hadn't spoken to anyone for so many days. He was almost suffocated by himself. In addition, he was hungry and thirsty after running around for so many days. He knew all these people. They were not very strong and they were not harmful to him.
Sex, so Tang Feng jumped out from the darkness.
This time, these people were shocked.
They only saw a dirty humanoid monster with disheveled hair, ragged clothes, a dark face and even an unclear appearance, jumping in front of them. Several people suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Although the shopkeeper also had some
His strength is only at the Huang level, but there are a few people around him who are all at the upper level of the Huang level, especially the big man carrying the cage, who should be about to reach the Xuan level. The cage behind him contains
There are many small and exquisite spiritual beasts.
However, what puzzled Tang Feng was that most of the spirit beasts in this cage were the cubs of some aggressive spirit beasts, with only one or two ornamental ones.
Doesn't the Spirit Beast Hall only sell ornamental spirit beasts? Why do they catch these aggressive ones? And listening to their conversation just now, it seems that they belong to some kind of hall. Besides these people, there are more powerful people.
deeper.
"Who is it?" When Tang Feng jumped out, the big man was stunned for a moment, and then stood in front of everyone.
Tang Feng stretched out his hands and smoothed back the messy hair that had not been taken care of for many days. He revealed a face and looked at them with a smile. The dark face, paired with the white teeth, looked like it was...
It's as scary as it is scary.
Seeing that Tang Feng didn't answer, a group of people suddenly became uneasy. Ever since they entered Quting Mountain to look for spiritual beasts, they had never encountered anyone else. Even those Tianxiu disciples had not discovered them, but now they saw them.
How could they not be afraid of a mountain man dressed so strangely, especially since this mountain man also had considerable strength.
The waiter in the shop was the most timid and was already trembling with fear. He pulled the shopkeeper's sleeve and said in a trembling voice: "Shopkeeper, is this the legendary savage?"
The shopkeeper was somewhat knowledgeable. Although the clothes Tang Feng was wearing were in tatters, he could tell at a glance that they were tailor-made, and the cloth was all good. How could he be some kind of savage? At that moment, the shopkeeper held his fist and said: "
May I ask what your surname is? How could it be like this in Quting Mountain?"
Tang Feng sniffed, looked away from the cage, and said, "Do you have anything to eat?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looked Tang Feng up and down, and then waved to the person next to him. The man untied the baggage he was carrying, and the shopkeeper took out a few steamed buns from inside: "We only brought these.
"
Tang Feng was not polite and directly grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
These days, all I eat are wild fruits and the like. Although this steamed bun is not tasty, it is still much better than those wild fruits.
Seeing that Tang Feng didn't have any ill intentions, the big man who had been blocking Tang Feng also lost his vigilance. The shopkeeper was a nice person, and when he saw that Tang Feng was devouring the food, he gave him a bottle of wine.
After finishing a few steamed buns and a bottle of wine in one breath, Tang Feng burped with satisfaction. He felt extremely satisfied. It is true that only when people are the hungriest do they feel that everything tastes delicious. With Tang Feng's status
, he has never eaten this kind of cold steamed buns since he was a child. Although Tang Feng's status in Tianxiu was very low in the past, his food was still the same as that of the young master.
"Thank you!" Tang Feng fumbled around. He originally wanted to give someone a banknote, but then he thought that all his banknotes had been given to Yu Zhong. Now he doesn't even have half a dime, so how can he give it to someone else?
Yes, I can only say thank you.
"It's just a trivial matter." The shopkeeper waved his hand and was about to ask more about Tang Feng's origins, but Tang Feng had already changed his mind: "By the way, what are you doing catching these spiritual beasts?"
The waiter said from the side: "What does this have to do with you?"
Tang Feng smiled. He had no intention of embarrassing others. It was not easy to make some money by doing business in the Spirit Beast Hall to support his family, and the shopkeeper was not bad either. Tang Feng just asked casually.
, he was very curious about where the aggressive spiritual beasts captured by the people from the Spiritual Beast Hall went.
The shopkeeper also looked at Tang Feng with some vigilance and replied: "This has nothing to do with friends, right?"
Tang Feng chuckled: "I'll just ask."
He could see that when he asked the question just now, there was already some hostility on the faces of these people. If they couldn't see through his own strength, they would probably take action.
It is necessary to be on guard against others. Tang Feng himself is also wary when facing strangers, so he can understand their approach and does not pay too much attention to it. Moreover, what the Spirit Beast Hall does in Quting Mountain, as long as it does not harm anyone,
Tianxiu, you haven't harmed him. You can't bully others by relying on strength.
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "This is the best!"
"But..." Tang Feng glanced at the spirit beasts in the cage and said, "If possible, it is better not to capture these spirit beasts in the future. They are also raised by a father and a mother. They are just born.
It’s quite pitiful to be taken away.”
Tang Feng absorbed countless spirit beast inner elixirs, and now the number of ghosts on the bones of the little skeleton has increased by nearly a thousand. He also feels that these spirit beasts are much more friendly, of course, provided that they no longer hunt him.
The shopkeeper chuckled: "My friend, go on your way after you have eaten and drank. I will consider your suggestion."
Tang Feng could tell that what the shopkeeper said was just for reproduction. There is only one Spiritual Beast Hall in Jing'an City and there are no other branches. Every time it opens, it can make a lot of money. Who would be willing not to do this business? Not to mention
, those aggressive spirit beasts they captured, if those aggressive spirit beasts can be cultivated, they can also form a strong fighting force.
Tang Feng didn't want to get into any more entanglements with them, so he just nodded and said: "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. If you catch too many spiritual beasts, be careful, those spiritual beasts will come to take revenge."
The waiter in the shop walked up to Tang Feng and pushed him angrily: "Who do you think you are? What good is rewarded with good and evil is punished with evil. I have been catching spiritual beasts for four or five years, and there is really no such thing."
The person who comes to seek revenge from me is just a man from the mountains, and he dares to say such things."
Although it was easy to teach him a lesson, Tang Feng didn't bother to argue with him. After he finished speaking, he ignored these people, turned around and ran towards Tianxiu, and disappeared from the sight of these people after just a few ups and downs.
among.
After Tang Feng left, the waiter turned to look at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, are you just going to let him go like this? What if he leaks the news?"
The shopkeeper stared at the direction where Tang Feng disappeared for a long time and then said: "What else can we do if we don't let him go? We can't keep him. This person is at least a Xuan-level person. It would be great if the branch master and the others were here."
"But...the branch masters and the others are all within the range of activities of third- and fourth-level spiritual beasts at the moment."
"I will talk to the branch master when I get back. Let's go. We will go back home in a few days. After this time, I can go back to the sect to spend my remaining years in peace." The shopkeeper waved.
He waved his hand and said that he had been running the Spiritual Beast Hall for ten years and it was time for him to retire.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Spirit Beast Hall is just a shop that sells ornamental spirit beasts, but in fact it is a branch of a large sect, a stronghold responsible for catching spirit beasts in Quting Mountain. To the outside world, only the shopkeeper and the others are there.
Individually, these few of them are not very strong and can only catch weaker spiritual beasts on the outside. However, more people in the branch are hidden and not known to outsiders. At this moment, they are all looking for those inside Quting Mountain.
Third-level, fourth-level or even fifth-level spirit beast cubs, a large number of captured cubs are sent to the sect for training every month.
This trip into the mountain seemed to go particularly smoothly. By noon the next day, this group of people had captured thirty spirit beasts, reaching the required number of spirit beasts to capture each time they entered the mountain. The shopkeeper was preparing
After taking the people back home, he suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet was shaking, and the shaking was getting bigger and bigger.
Not only the shopkeeper was aware of it, but everyone else was also aware of it. Although these people were not very strong, they had finally practiced. They were all alert for a moment. The expressions on their faces were extremely nervous, but their eyes were looking around blankly, completely
Don't know what happened.
This kind of movement is a bit scary, especially in the deep mountains and wild forests. It is a continuous rumble, as if thunder is rolling across the earth.
"Shopkeeper, what happened?" The big man carrying the spirit beast cage swallowed his saliva and asked.
The shopkeeper also had his legs wet and shook his head: "I don't know."
As soon as these words were finished, a wolf howl that echoed through the sky suddenly came from the depths of Quting Mountain. The next moment, countless beast roars came one after another, one after another, deafening!
