Beastmaster

Zong Lei was in a state of hesitation at this time. The Huangjiang Village was indeed powerful, and the three beast generals were really unheard of. If they joined, they would definitely be able to escape the pursuit of the Tiger Beast Village! But the old village chief knew that taking us in would be a trouble. Was it for the space ring?

Zong Lei hesitated and said, "No... After all, Huangjiang Village is not big. If we are taken in by Hushou Village, they will definitely regard Huangjiang Village as a thorn in their side. Besides, most of us are old and young, so we won't be a burden to you."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zong, you don't think we took you in because of your space rings, do you?"

Zong Lei's face turned red when he was asked this question. He scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

The old village chief continued, "Mr. Zong, whether your village has a space ring or not, I will take you in now. There are two reasons for this. First, as you can see, our village now has three beast generals and they have all emerged today. I think this secret can no longer be hidden, so we now need a strong village to resist the invasion of other villages.

"As for the second reason, it's because of Longying. This child is still young. Are you sure you can protect her as you wander outside? But if she joins our village, it will be different. Not only will it strengthen the village so that both of us can have a sense of security, but if you join Huangjiang Village, I won't worry about the news of these three children spreading out in the short term.

Zong Lei admitted that he was indeed moved, because what the other old village chief said was right, they simply had no ability to protect Longying now.

The village chief then said, "Mr. Zong, you have fought with the Tiger Beast Village before, so you must know the situation of the other beast generals, right?"

"I know. One of the two beast generals in the Tiger Beast Village is a level 16 beast boy whose war beast is a level 14 wood-type Cangling Deer... and the other is a level 22 beast fighter." When Zong Lei said this, there was obvious fear in his eyes. Looking at the villagers of Longyue Village, they all showed fear on their faces. However, Longying had tears in her eyes and listened to Zong Lei with clenched teeth.

Zong Lei took a deep breath and continued, "The beastman's war beast is extremely terrifying. It is a level 22 Fire Magic Flame Lion! Wherever this war beast passes, raging flames will ignite, and it has extremely strong destructive power."

At this time, everyone in Huangjiang Village except the village chief and Jing Cangming was shocked, because fire-type war beasts are very difficult to encounter in this wilderness, and fire itself is extremely violent and destructive.

The old village chief stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Zong, join us! Perhaps now we are the only ones in this wilderness who can fight against the Tiger Beast Village."

Zong Lei didn’t know what to say now. He didn’t know whether the old village chief didn’t hear clearly what he said just now or was too confident.

Not only Zong Lei thought so, the villagers of Huangjiang Village also couldn't understand it. This was equivalent to declaring war on Hushou Village!

The old village chief also saw the confusion of Zong Lei and everyone else and said, "If I said this in the past, I might have been crazy, but times have changed. Mr. Zong, let me introduce these three children to you. All three of them have been practicing with me since they were six years old, and it has been four years now."

After hearing this, Lei felt even more uncertain. He had only been practicing for four years, but now he was completely confused. He really couldn't understand where the old village chief got his confidence from, unless these three children were geniuses, oh no, geniuses!

The old village chief introduced them one by one: "This child is called Fang Tiankuo, he is ten years old, a ninth-level beast general, with a natural soul power of five and an accompanying earth attribute."

Zong Lei was shocked when he heard this, revealing an expression of disbelief, "Born with soul power level 5? Already at level 9 at the age of ten? Are these three kids really geniuses?"

Fang Tiankuo waved his hand. "How about it? Uncle Zong, why don't you try it?"

"No! Ah, no, no need." Zong Lei waved his hands and smiled bitterly, thinking, "Are you kidding me? I'll let you beat me to death!"

While Zong Lei was still smiling bitterly, the old village chief continued to introduce, "This child is called Zhan Yongyi, ten years old, a level 12 beast boy with a natural soul power of seven, poison attribute, and ice attribute."

No longer caring about Zong Lei’s surprise, Long Ying was thinking to herself, “He was born with a soul power of seven! Five levels higher than mine! And he reached five levels in four years. What a talent! With dual attributes! I started practicing when I was three years old and it’s been fifteen years since I reached level seven. The talent gap is so big. If it wasn’t for the war beast possessing me to level fifteen, I would definitely not be able to beat him.”

"The last one, Jing Cangming, is ten years old, with natural soul power..." The village chief hesitated for a moment when he said this, but continued, "He has a natural soul power of thirteen, eight accompanying attributes, and is now a beastmaster at level twenty-one."

Upon hearing this, Zong Lei collapsed to the ground. Not only him, but also the villagers of Longyue Village behind him showed shocked expressions. Not only the people of Huangjiang Village did not expect Jing Cangming to have such an improvement in just four years. However, the most surprised was Longying. Her natural soul power was ten levels higher than his own, and it was accompanied by eight attributes. No wonder she could not beat him. Longying is now very glad that she did not die at the hands of Jing Cangming. Even with the Goshawk, she would never have been able to survive a beastman.

Zong Lei stood up and bowed to the village chief. "Village chief, we were wrong in everything we did before. We had no choice but to do it in order to survive. Please don't take it to heart." Zong Lei understood that he had no way to survive in the hands of these three children, so he admitted his mistake quickly.

The village chief laughed and said, "It's okay. You are also trying to survive. How about it? Are you willing to join Huangjiang Village now?"

At this time, Fang Tiankuo grabbed the village chief and whispered, "Grandpa Village Chief, you just revealed the strength of the three of us, especially Cang Ming's strength, aren't you afraid that they will spread the news?"

"No, they have nowhere to go now, so they must be hoping to find a powerful village to rely on. I deliberately told people about the three of you just to let them know how powerful we are, so that they can join Huangjiang Village and strengthen the village. If they join, then the village will have four beast generals in the future, and they also want to live a more comfortable life. And I don't have to worry about your information being leaked for the time being."

Jing Cangming said at this time, "Don't worry, if they don't join, I will destroy them."

The old village chief said to Jing Cangming with a serious face, "Cangming! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehe, Grandpa, I'm just teasing you. I just want to scare them and force them."

"You kid, you usually look the calmest among the three, but I didn't expect you to have so many clever ideas. Don't worry, they have no reason to reject us."

"That's right, Grandpa Village Chief, don't be fooled by his appearance. It was he who suggested that I run out of the village to play, and he even ended up disfiguring my face!"

"Hey, Tiankuo, don't bite people randomly. If you hadn't said you were bored and wanted to go out for a look, how could I have given you any advice? Besides, if it hadn't been for me, you would have been dead, don't you think so, Yongyi?" "Yeah, I am."

While the three were arguing, Zong Lei suddenly raised his head and said, "Village chief, there is no problem for us to join Huangjiang Village, but there is a condition."

"Oh? What are the conditions? Feel free to tell me."

"Please take good care of Longying and don't bully her. This child has a hard life. She has been taken away by my eldest brother to be trained since she was young. She has rarely seen her parents and has never received love from her parents. This child is kind-hearted. Although we have invaded many villages, we have never killed any living beings. I taught her all those tricks before. Since we are attacking other villages, we must be more fierce to subdue the other side. In fact, this girl is not a bad person at all. I just hope that after we join, everyone will not target her. You can target us however you want. We can be your slaves, but don't bully this child."

"Uncle Zong, please don't be like this. It was my fault that I was too weak and failed to protect the village. I have never blamed the village chief and my parents, nor have I ever resented anyone."

Zong Lei hugged Longying and said, "Child, I'm sorry for the injustice you have suffered in the past six months. In the future, follow the old village chief and practice hard. Uncle believes that sooner or later you will become strong enough to protect yourself."

After saying that, Zong Lei turned around and said to the villagers of Longyue Village, "You no longer have to hide and live in fear. Everyone must take good care of Longying."

Upon hearing this, Longying quickly asked, "Uncle Zong, aren't you coming with us? Where are you going?"
