"As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Changsheng's figure finally appeared before Jiang Yun.At this moment, Hai Changsheng's face was as pale as death, his body trembling. He tried to speak, but as so...The sound came from a small cottage deep in the hills.
In fact, Ginger Cloud had long discovered the existence of this cottage and knew that someone lived inside.
After all, with so many beasts to tame, someone certainly needs to watch over them constantly, and there's a need for dedicated personnel to collect food and care for each one separately.
But he really didn't expect the other party to treat him with such an impolite attitude.
This made him understand why the young man's face had shown hesitation when he heard that he was going to the back mountain earlier.
It is obviously because of this person.
This person should be the one in charge of raising these beasts in Xiaocun.
My appearance, I guess, took away his job, so he wouldn't look kindly upon me.
After understanding all this, Ginger Cloud wasn't angry anymore. She pretended not to hear and ignored him completely.
Not only did he not leave the mountain, but he also stepped inside, looking around at all the caged wild animals as if they were nothing.
To be honest, perhaps because this world is too old, the way they keep beasts here is extremely primitive.
Within the Temple of Inquiry, there are special artifacts designed to house various ferocious beasts. The environment within is also meticulously arranged to be as suitable as possible for their dwelling.
But here, it was merely crudely made wooden stakes that formed the cages, confining all manner of beasts together in a haphazard fashion.
The indoor environment is extremely dirty and messy, with feces and other waste piled up everywhere. The smell is unbearable.
“Didn’t you hear what I said!”
At that moment, the door to the hut creaked open and a burly, bearded old man emerged. He strode purposefully towards Jiang Yun.
His eyes held a malicious glint, staring viciously at Jiang Yun.
However, upon seeing the other party for the first time, Jiang Yun not only did not feel disgusted, but instead felt a hint of goodwill.
The reason is none other than the fact that the other person was wearing a piece of animal skin!
Animal hides, which Jiang Yun had worn for sixteen years, were the most common attire in Mangshan. Because of this, he was ridiculed by many.
Since leaving Mangshan, he had never seen anyone wearing animal skins again.
Therefore, the elderly man before him reminded him of Mangshan and made him feel a sense of kinship.
Under this impulse of goodwill, Jiang Yun respectfully bowed to the elder and said, "My name is Jiang Yun!"
The elder was clearly prepared with a lot to say to confront Jiang Yun, but he never expected that Jiang Yun would actually bow to him.
Don't hit someone who is smiling, even though he might be upset inside, he wouldn't dare to lash out. He could only still stiffen his face and say: "You are so young, there are many better things to learn than this deceitful trickery!"
"I don't know where you got those beasts from, to dare impersonate a beast master, get out of here, you're not welcome!"
Evidently, Xiao Yun and his father should have told him about Jiang Yun, but he refused to believe them.
Just as the old man spoke, the beasts around him all roared at Jiang Yun, clearly controlled by the old man secretly, wanting to give Jiang Yun a warning.
Looking at the hint of triumph on the elder's face, Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Whether a beast is tamed well or not doesn't seem to have much to do with age, does it How long has your esteemed self been taming beasts"
The old man stood tall and said proudly, “Not long, just forty years!”
"Forty years!"
Ginger nodded, smiling without speaking, then turned her gaze to the surrounding beasts.
As his gaze swept over them, the beasts immediately shivered and obediently clamped their mouths shut.
This scene caused a cold light to suddenly flash in the elder's eyes. He could clearly see that this was also intentional on Jiang Yun's part.
The old man let out a cold smile and said, “I didn’t expect you to have some skill. Dare you compete with me in beast taming”
"If you can defeat me, I will acknowledge you as a master, and from then on, you may command me."
But if you lose, leave behind the beasts on your body and walk away!
Ginger furrowed her brows and said, "Let's skip the competition!"
If you're not capable, then don't waste our time here!
Although Ginger Cloud had some good feelings for the elder, she also understood that if she didn't show off a bit of her skill, even if she could establish herself here in the future, there would be more unnecessary trouble.
What's more, at this very moment, Xiao Yun and his son, along with a group of villagers, have already appeared at the entrance, but they deliberately didn't come in to stop them. It is clear that they also want to use this opportunity to see their own abilities.
"Since my father-in-law insists, I'll obey!"
Jiang Yun's gaze swept across the crowd of beasts once more and said, "But this competition is really unnecessary."
"How about this My father-in-law has been training beasts for forty years, he must be deeply knowledgeable in the art of beast taming. Right now, as long as my father-in-law can make any one of them attack me, I will immediately leave the exotic beasts and run away!"
Hearing what Ginger Cloud said, the old man couldn't help but startle slightly and say, "What do you mean"
Jiang Yun did not bother to explain. With a sudden sweep of his sleeve, countless wisps of spiritual energy instantly transformed into sharp wind blades, sweeping toward dozens of beast cages in this area.
"Clack clack clack!"
Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, the wooden stakes forming the animal cage all snapped in half from the middle.
This way, it's like releasing all the wild beasts!
This scene, not to mention leaving the old man dumbfounded, even those watching from the entrance were astonished.
Xiao Yun even more softly issued the command: "Wang Jie, lead a few people and no matter what, hold onto the surroundings, do not let the beasts charge out of the back mountain!"
For these small villages and clans, the number of tamed beasts also represents their strength.
"You, you did what!"
Just then, the old man finally came to his senses. His eyes widened, and he glared angrily at Jiang Yun.
There are hundreds of animals here, but not every one has been kept by him for forty years.
Many of them were just recently captured, like the flying lion. Its ferocity hasn't subsided yet. Releasing it wouldn't be a concern for harming humans, but it would definitely attack other animals.
By then, all the beasts will be ferocious and out of control, a chaotic mess. He won't have any ability left to subdue them except to kill them.
While the old man was speaking, a number of beasts had already tried to walk out of their cages, which could not contain them.
But the flying lion was lying on the ground, its eyes blazing with fury, coldly staring at the surrounding beasts.
"You! I'll get back to you later!"
The old man gestured at Jiang Yun, turning around to drive the group of beasts back. However, Jiang Yun suddenly took a step forward, standing before him and saying, "Master, aren't you going to compare beast-taming skills with me!"
"Get out of here!"
The old man no longer had the mood to compete with Jiang Yun in taming beasts. He roared and, without warning, punched toward Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun easily dodged, but still stood before the elder, looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"You, good good, bite him!"
The old man, enraged, let out a long, mournful howl. A black panther closest to him suddenly pounced towards Jiang Yun.
Ginger Cloud glanced faintly at the leopard. The black leopard, mid-air, abruptly halted its momentum and landed directly on the ground.
Facing Jiang Yun, his limbs kept retreating backward, and a strong look of fear appeared in his eyes.
Then, Jiang Yun swept his gaze around the room and said in a loud voice, "Come out!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, all the beasts immediately burst out of their cages.
Even the flying lion, after a moment's hesitation, flapped its pair of wings on its back and soared into the air.
In an instant, hundreds of beasts, some standing, some flying, gathered around Jiang Yun and the elder within this entire area.
But not a single one moved!
First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network while, Jiang Yun's gaze also turned to the Divine Slaying Hall in the sky. He said to himself: "The three great powerhouses of the opponent, Dao Zun, mysterious commander, and monster cultivator, did...
