Fang Yin's calm voice reached Tuocang's ears clearly. He was shocked, raised his head, and looked at the young man walking towards him, his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
"Sir, you...you...are back?!"
Perhaps because he was afraid that Fang Yin would misunderstand, he stuttered as he spoke, his heart pounding non-stop.
After hearing the question from the young man in front of him, Fang Yin slowly came to him and looked down at him with a sneer on his lips:
"Why, are you not happy to see me back?"
"Uh... no... no!"
Tuocang shook his head and quickly explained:
"I just didn't expect that you would come back suddenly, which seems a bit unexpected...!"
"Abo Snake, I didn't mean to attack you, sir. Please spare it this time, okay?"
He knelt down on the ground, rested his forehead on the hard soil, and prayed in fear.
Because Tuocang knew that the trainer in front of him was very powerful and he could not provoke him. He had to try his best to please him, otherwise, his fate would be like those beggars.
Beside the bonfire, the wood chips of the bonfire were swaying, making a crackling sound.
The firelight shone on Fang Yin's face, causing his face to become extremely distorted and creepy.
For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence, and no one spoke.
He put his hands behind his back and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Seeing Tuocang's performance last night, he was quite satisfied. He was not a stupid person. Although he was a waste, he still had value worth cultivating.
"Sir, I know you are not an ordinary person, so I... I want to follow you and do things for you!"
Tuocang raised his head, looked at Fang Yin with burning eyes, and said loudly to express his decision.
He doesn't want to hang out with these homeless people anymore. Although he doesn't know who they are yet, they are definitely much better than they are now.
In the Pokémon world, the homeless people in the slums are basically poor people with no spirits, no strength, and even no better clothes.
These people, without any dignity or human rights, live in this desolate land and survive the rest of their lives.
The only way to climb up is to obtain elves and learn various cultivation knowledge to enhance your strength.
Takusura is one of them.
He has no talent or any background, so he is just lucky. By subduing an Arbor monster, he can have enough to eat and barely survive a difficult life.
The light in this world does not reach the vast majority of people.
Takusura was unwilling to live his life in mediocrity, and the way to change the situation was to follow the trainer in front of him, hoping to obtain resources to help the Arbor Snake grow.
"Oh? Interesting... let me teach you a very important secret rule!"
"I realize I'll only be as old as you when the time comes, kid."
Hearing this, Fang Yin bent down slightly, looked down at Tuocang's face, patted his shoulder gently and said:
"You see..., power, real power, will never belong to those who are naturally strong, agile, and smart, never!"
He paused for a moment, and his gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, piercing into Tuocang's heart like a blade:
"He will only belong to...the one who is willing to achieve his goal at all costs!"
The moment the words fell.
In the darkness, a poisonous mud whip covered with mucus was suddenly thrown out, and then gradually expanded in Takura's pupils until it reached his head.
At this moment, he felt as if his heart was beating violently as if it was about to jump out of his chest, his hairs stood on end, and his whole body seemed to have fallen into the snow in the cold winter.
I will die, I will really die!
"Bang!"
A crisp sound exploded all over his body. At the critical moment, Abo Snake stood in front of Tuocang and took the poisonous whip from the smelly mud for him, and was immediately blown away.
This whip of the smelly mud contains huge power, and even it cannot bear it.
The blood on the Arbo snake was constantly overflowing, and it looked particularly dazzling under the night sky.
"Abo Snake, are you okay?"
Tuocang panicked and held Abai She, and asked nervously.
"twitter!"
Abai Snake shook its head weakly, indicating that it was nothing serious. Then, its eyes turned to Fang Yin, staring at him full of hatred.
"Okay, very good...!"
"Since you want to follow me, then... I don't mind taking you with me, but I don't like being with a bunch of losers."
He snorted coldly, and a powerful coercion suddenly enveloped Xiang Tuocang and others, making it difficult for him to breathe and his face became extremely pale:
"Abo Snake's performance just now has proven that you are qualified to be my subordinate, but you have to remember... that useless things will only end in death!"
Aboshe and Tuocang both widened their eyes in fear, looking at Fang Yin with eyes full of awe and fear.
To Abai Snake, the young man in front of him didn't look like a human being at all. Instead, he looked like a demon, which was daunting.
"Baiduo~Baiduo~"
Beside the sludge pool, the stinky mud opened its terrifying mouth, waving its tentacles of disgusting mucus, and a look of human cruelty and bloodlust flashed in its pupils.
It made a hoarse and unpleasant sound, as if it was announcing something, and seemed to be warning Tuocang to keep his promise and not dare to disobey the master in front of him.
Tuocang's body was trembling and he didn't dare to say a word.
He was not a fool. He knew that Xioni was not a creature that Abai Snake could match, so he could only nod his head obediently.
He didn't want to die like this, and he couldn't go against Fang Yin's words, otherwise... he didn't know what would be waiting for him in the next second, the terrifying danger.
Staring at Tuocang's reaction, Fang Yin nodded slightly and showed admiration. This is a smart person. Only a truly smart person will know what should be done and what should not be done.
"You do a good job for me, I won't treat anyone badly!"
Suddenly, he took off his backpack, took out a bottle of wound spray and orange juice, and handed it to Takucang:
"Apply the spray to the wound of Arbor Monster, and it will stop bleeding and heal within three to five minutes!"
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Tuocang's eyes. He knew that this bottle of spray was a life-saving medicine. In the wild environment, any medical resources were extremely expensive.
Under the overpass, Fang Yin put his hands behind his back and stared at Abo Snake's injuries, with no trace of emotion on his face.
Hitting with a big stick and then giving a sweet date was a trick he had used so many times that he was already familiar with it.
"Boy, what's your name?"
"Replying to your lord, I'm going to expand the warehouse!"
"Well..., this is yours, take it!"
Fang Yin glanced at Tuocang indifferently.
At present, subduing the low-strength Tuocang is of no use to him, but it is always good to give away some small benefits and an extra guarantee.
After all...the stronger Takusura is, the greater help he will be able to have in the future.
"Thank you, sir."
Tuocang respectfully took the wound medicine spray and orange fruit, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
In his opinion, this move was considered the right move. If he follows the master in the future, he will definitely get more benefits.
"It's getting late, go and rest!"
"Tomorrow morning, you will face your first test."
After saying that, Fang Yin's figure disappeared from the spot.
After Fang Yin left, the smile on Tuocang's face slowly faded, replaced by deep solemnity.
"Abo Snake, how are you?"
"Cha~cha~."
The Arbor snake shook its little round purple head to indicate that it was fine.
"It's okay!"
Hearing from Abai Snake's tone, he was not seriously injured, which made him feel relieved.
Tuocang walked to the bamboo mat, sat down, closed his eyes and meditated.
The night is dark and misty.
............
Early next morning.
The sun slowly rises from the horizon.
The dawn light penetrated the thick clouds and fell on the earth. The water droplets on the grass blades dripped and fell on the stone pavement, splashing water.
In the slum, under the abandoned overpass, a group of homeless people were gathering. They were carefully observing the situation around the blue tent.
Then, he saw the new trainer walking out of the tent and talking seriously with the boy Tuocang, seeming to be discussing something.
"Lao Li, when did the two of them get together?"
"Ah? Well... I don't know! However, I guess there must be no good things happening between the two of them, so we'd better stay away!"
"Yeah! That's right!"
Many homeless people nodded in agreement and said:
"Trainers are all a bunch of crazy people who do evil. There are not a few good birds. Let's not get into trouble! Let's go and continue picking up garbage!"
