Beastmaster

Four days later, Western Continent.

The border of the Western Continent is right in front of us.

The hundred-meter-high city wall stretches as far as the eye can see, separating the continent from the wilderness.

All around were beast generals riding various kinds of war beasts, some running on the ground, some flying in the sky, some as tall as thirty meters, and some as short as a few meters, all of them coming from this wilderness.

So Jing Cangming riding Xiaoyi did not seem so abrupt.

However, Xiaoyi's rare magma properties still attracted some attention.

Jing Cangming looked at the prosperous scene in front of him, patted Xiao Yi under him, and signaled him to move forward.

Walking to the city gate which was nearly 100 meters away, on both sides were guards wearing bright silver armor and holding various weapons.

If you feel it carefully, you will find that there are different attribute fluctuations in their bodies.

"They are all beast generals!" Jing Cangming shouted in his heart.

In the wilderness, one beast general can make an entire village prosperous, but there are more than a hundred beast generals in the army here.

I can't help but sigh that there are two different worlds separated by a wall.

When you walk into the city, the first difference you notice is the floor tiles under your feet.

This floor tile seemed to have an insulating property, and when Xiao Yi walked on it, there were no magma footprints left.

Looking around, all you see are floor tiles like this.

Continuing to walk in, it felt like walking into a city. There were buildings tens of meters high all around, and each building was nearly a hundred meters apart, making it convenient for the war beasts to enter.

There are shops selling clothes and food, a blacksmith shop, a herbalist shop, and an auction venue.

Jing Cangming called out to his uncle in his mind, "Uncle! Is this the Western Continent? It's so huge!"

The uncle's laughing voice came, "This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Western Continent, and among the five continents, the Western Continent is the smallest."

Although Jing Cangming was shocked by the scene before him, he still did not forget the purpose of his trip.

"Uncle, the Western Continent is so big, where should I go to obtain the master's secret book?" Jing Cangming asked in his mind.

"Well... it's not really cost-effective to join a certain force just for a secret manual of a master of precepts. I don't know if the auction house will have it in the next few days."

"What should we do then?" Jing Cangming asked puzzledly.

He was indeed very confused; he had no idea what to do this first time.

Just as Jing Cangming was communicating with the uncle, an unfriendly voice was heard.

"Hey! Get out of the way!" A sharp voice pulled Jing Cangming back from the world of consciousness.

Jing Cangming and Xiao Yi turned around and looked.

Suddenly, I saw a huge purple python eight meters long spitting out its tongue.

On top of the python's head stood a smaller figure of a girl.

The girl looked about the same age as Jing Cangming. She was wearing a purple gauze dress that reached her knees and a pair of black boots that just reached the hem of her skirt. Her purple hair that reached her neck fluttered in the wind. The girl pouted her lips and stared at Jing Cangming with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Hey! Can't you hear me? Get out of the way!" The little girl clenched her fists and shouted at Jing Cangming on tiptoe.

Jing Cangming ignored her and looked at the girl lazily. He yawned and pointed to the road beside him. "This road is so wide? Don't you see it?"

The little girl said angrily, "I want to go this way, will you let me go?"

"Hey! I have a bad temper and I won't move out of the way. What can you do about it?" Jing Cangming immediately stood up and looked at her.

The little girl did not lose her momentum either, “Then don’t blame me for being rude,” then she frowned and flew into the air from the giant python’s head.

A pair of pink fists wrapped in purple light smashed heavily into Jing Cangming's face.

In an instant, it attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Huh~ He slaps me in the face right away," Jing Cangming said as he activated the rock and sand barrier.

The soil layer instantly wrapped around Jing Cangming above Xiaoyi's head, and his pink fist hit the soft soil, offsetting the damage.

"Heh~ Geotechnical engineering?" The little girl floated in the air, staring at the mound.

Suddenly, the earth bag broke, and Jing Cangming's right fist wrapped in dark blue water attribute broke out from it and hit the little girl's face.

Seeing this, the little girl put her hands together, palms facing Jing Cangming, "Poison! Highly poisonous palm!"

A meter-long purple poisonous palm slapped out and attacked Jing Cangming.

Jing Cangming quickly took out the giant rock shield and blocked the front.

Xiao Yi said helplessly and dissatisfiedly, "Boss, be gentle, this giant rock shield is about to give a bump on my head."

The poisonous palm hit the giant rock shield and instantly dissipated into mist.

The fog instantly enveloped Jing Cangming and Xiao Yi's heads.

"Boss, is she trying to poison us?" Xiao Yi sniffed calmly.

Jing Cangming snorted coldly, "Are you afraid of poison~?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Boss, have you ever heard that magma is afraid of poison?"

Jing Cangming patted Xiaoyi's head and signaled to let him go.

Xiao Yi slowly lowered his head, with his nose touching the ground, and Jing Cangming walked down like this.

He looked up at the little girl floating in the sky and waved, "Hey! Come down!"

The little girl fell down in dissatisfaction, pointed her finger at her lower lip, and stared at Jing Cangming with her beautiful big eyes, blinking, "Aren't you afraid of poison?"

The little girl was no longer as arrogant as before.

Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming turned his head away and stopped looking at her, "It's none of your business."

Then he put Xiaoyi into the world ring, squeezed into the crowd and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the people watching the fun on the side also dispersed.

But the little girl had no intention of letting him leave.

Seeing Jing Cangming was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't go, where are you going, let's go together."

The purple world ring on the index finger of the little girl's left hand flashed, and she took the giant python back. She hurriedly chased after it, surrounded Jing Cangming and asked.

Jing Cangming had no good feelings towards this casual little girl. Now he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, find the secret book and go home.

The little girl was a little unhappy when she saw Jing Cangming ignored her. She pouted and said, "Hey! It's not like you can't talk. Why are you ignoring me?"

Jing Cangming stopped and looked at the little girl with dissatisfaction, "First, I didn't say hello, second, I hate you, and third, you ruined my clothes."

Then Jing Cangming shook off the hair that had just been corroded by the poisonous gas and looked at her unhappily.

"Oh, who told you to block my way just now? I told you to leave but you didn't." The little girl continued to pester Jing Cangming.

"Can't you see that the road is so wide? Why do you have to go through me? And you just beat me up, but now you are smiling. What is your purpose?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've never seen a beast general of my age who can resist my poisonous palm. Let's be friends," said the little girl, stretching out her hand and looking at Jing Cangming in a slightly cute way.

A closer look reveals that this little girl is pretty, with big eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips, and long eyelashes. She will be a great beauty in the future, but her eyes are purple.

But Jing Cangming just couldn't muster any good feelings towards her. He slapped the little girl's hand away and continued walking forward.

The little girl stomped her feet in anger, looked at Jing Cangming's receding figure, then smiled and said, "You can't run away, huh."

The little girl followed Jing Cangming all the way.

Jing Cangming already knew that she was following him, but he ignored her and just looked at the small stalls around him.

Most of these are businesses operating in stores, but there are also many villagers from the wilderness who come to set up stalls.

Suddenly Jing Cangming saw a lot of books on a street stall and walked over.

When I took a closer look, I found that these books were skill books of various attributes.

Jing Cangming flipped through the book and found a book about the rock and soil skill sandstorm. Jing Cangming looked at the sandstorm and saw that the learning level requirement was level 25. Jing Cangming's eyes lit up.

Then he picked up the book and looked at the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much is this book?"

The boss said, "This book is not expensive. If you are sincere, please give me three thousand crystal stones to take it."

After hearing the offer, Jing Cangming was stunned for a moment, then put the book down. Let alone three thousand, he couldn't even take out three dollars from his pocket.

Jing Cangming looked at the skill again, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a girl say, "Boss, this is three thousand, I want this book."

Jing Cangming looked back and saw that this was the little girl from before.

Jing Cangming ignored her and turned away.

The little girl ran up again and stood in front of Jing Cangming, holding the Sand Storm in her hand.

"Here, make friends."

Jing Cangming took a look at the skill book and said, "No, I won't hand it over."

"Hey! I don't have a geotechnical engineering degree, so it's useless for me to have it," the little girl stamped her feet anxiously.

"It's useless for you to buy it?" Jing Cangming said unhappily.

"I bought it for you," the little girl looked down at the skill book aggrievedly, as if she was about to cry.

Jing Cangming couldn't bear to see girls cry, so his heart softened and he said, "Give it to me."

The little girl raised her head happily when she heard that, and stepped forward to hand the skill book to Jing Cangming.

Jing Cangming took out the skill book and did not hide his love for it. He put the book into his world ring with a smile.

"Hehe, my name is Yan Yuxiao, what about you?" The little girl stretched out her right hand again, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she blinked her eyes and looked at Jing Cangming.

Jing Cangming also stretched out his hand and shook it, "My name is Jing Cangming."

Seeing that Jing Cangming was no longer as cold as before, Yan Yuxiao started to talk and asked questions along the way.

Jing Cangming did not hide anything and told her the truth that he came here to find the master's secret book.

When the girl heard this, she regretted and said, "Oh, if I had known that you came here, why would I have spent the three thousand dollars?"

The little girl's expression at this moment was filled with regret.

Jing Cangming is not stupid. After hearing what Yan Yuxiao said, he should know where to get the secret book.

Jing Cangming held the other person's hands and asked quickly, "Do you know where to find the master's secret manual?"

The little girl's face instantly turned red at Jing Cangming's sudden action. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to touch her like this.

Yan Yuxiao stammered, "What are you looking for? I...I have it." Yan Yuxiao's face flushed and she quickly took her hand back and put it behind her back.

Jing Cangming was extremely happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that after searching for so many places in vain, he would finally get it without any effort.

"Yan Yuxiao, can you...can you give me this secret book? I can give you money," Jing Cangming said excitedly.

"Money? Where do you get the money? You can't even take out three thousand. Do you know how much a copy of the master's secret book costs outside?" The little girl said with her hands on her hips.

Jing Cangming scratched his head, "Um...how much?"

The little girl put her left hand on her waist and stretched out her right hand to make a three.

Jing Cangming asked, "Thirty thousand?"

The moment the little girl opened her mouth, Jing Cangming was shocked. "Three hundred thousand!"

Jing Cangming was stunned when he heard the price, "Three hundred thousand?"

"Ang, what do you think?"

"Where did you get it, then?"

"It's mine, my mother gave it to me," the little girl said proudly, as if showing off her family background.

Jing Cangming was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you from a noble family?"

Yan Yuxiao covered her mouth and laughed, looking like a fairy from heaven.

"It's about the same, maybe a little bit better than the aristocratic families."

"You are a child of an aristocratic family, but no one protects you when you go out?"

Yan Yuxiao stuck out her tongue and said, "I ran away secretly."

"Ah? Why?" Jing Cangming couldn't understand. The children of wealthy families had no worries about food and clothing, and were protected from the wind and rain. It was such a comfortable life, so why would they run out for no reason?

Yan Yuxiao looked at Jing Cangming mischievously and said, "Because things are not good at home."

Jing Cangming laughed, "Don't lie to me. Children of aristocratic families have everything they want, except for the fact that they don't have anything bad."

Yan Yuxiao rolled her eyes at Jing Cangming and asked, "Is your family like this?"

Jing Cangming said, "That's not my home. My home is just a small village in the wilderness."

"Tsk, children of wealthy families are not always like you imagine. They don't have any freedom and can't go anywhere. Mom and dad just say that the world outside is too dangerous. They never tell me how dangerous it is. So I ran out by myself. Look how wonderful this world is."

Yan Yuxiao said as she opened her arms and turned around on the spot.

Jing Cangming said, "I was not born in a family like yours, so I cannot understand your happiness and troubles." Then Jing Cangming rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly, "Then can you show me the master's secret book?"

Yan Yuxiao looked at Jing Cangming's current appearance and laughed, "Where is your noble attitude just now?"

Jing Cangming didn't care and continued, "Hehe, that's because he doesn't know that you are the eldest lady."

"Hahaha, you are really realistic. I can give it to you, but you have to agree to one of my requests."

Jing Cangming looked at Yan Yuxiao in confusion, "What request?"

Yan Yuxiao then looked at Jing Cangming seriously and said, "Take me with you."

"Take you? Where to take you?" Jing Cangming looked at the other party in confusion.

"It doesn't matter, I'll go wherever you go."

"Huh? Why?"

Yan Yuxiao looked at Jing Cangming pitifully, "Look, I'm just a little girl, and I'm so pretty. What if I meet a bad guy?" Yan Yuxiao clasped her hands as she spoke, looking so pitiful.

"Bad guy? It's bad luck for a bad guy to meet you. In the fight just now, you are at least at the beast level, and your big snake hasn't even made a move yet."

Hearing this, Yan Yuxiao said awkwardly, "Hehe, you figured it out. That's not safe. I'm not familiar with the place."

"This is my first time here, and I'm not familiar with the place."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuxiao said unhappily, "Are you going to take it with you? If not, go buy the secret book yourself."

After saying that, Yan Yuxiao turned around and was about to leave. This time it was Jing Cangming's turn to chase her.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, don't go. I'll take you, isn't it okay for me to take you? But you have to tell me why you want to follow me."

"Okay, first, you are very strong and you are fully capable of protecting me. Second, there is no one of my peers who is stronger than you, so I admire you very much. Third, my intuition tells me that I should follow you," Yan Yuxiao said seriously.

Jing Cangming staggered when he heard this, "It will be very dangerous if you follow me. I came out this time to prepare for a battle in a month, and your family must be looking for you too."

"I don't care. You have to take me with you anyway. You can fight or not. They can look for me or not," Yan Yuxiao said proudly.

Jing Cangming thought for a while and said, "Okay, come with me."

Then Jing Cangming decided to stay here for one night and set off for home tomorrow.

Of course Yan Yuxiao paid for the hotel, he had no money.
