Chapter Twenty-Five: The Little Mulberry Beast
The courtyard where the Colosseum held the beasts was very large, and the cages made of the hardest iron were full of various varieties of beasts, and those beasts curled up helplessly in the cages, and immediately roared vigilantly when they saw the visitors.
The person who raised the mysterious beast who heard the movement hurriedly ran out, and when he saw these two people, he was stunned at first, and then asked with a smile: "Are the two of you here to buy the mysterious beast?" I have all kinds of mysterious beasts here, what price do you want? ”
Yan Zhiyu glanced at the cages in front of him lightly and asked, "Is that all?" ”
The man immediately smiled and replied, "Others, please come with me." ”
Led by the little guy in front, the two came to a place with a wide area, which was basically full of imprisoned beasts, and what the two of them saw was a drop in the bucket compared to this. Looking at these iron cages, Shen Sangsang couldn't help frowning: "So many mysterious beasts, are they all caught by you?" ”
"Where can we, we can't do it in such a large amount." The little servant replied, "Some of the mysterious beasts in our Colosseum were caught by the owner of our Colosseum, and some soul hunters caught and sold them to us, and there were also soul masters who went to the ring and threw them because they felt that they were not strong enough, and there are all kinds of sources. ”
Yan Zhiyu glanced at the mysterious beast in front of him and asked, "What level of mysterious beast is here?" ”
"There are some mysterious-level mystical beasts here, and further inside are legendary-level mystical beasts." The little guy replied.
"Then do you have the highest level of mysterious beasts here?" Shen Sangsang asked.
The little guy thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "I really don't have the highest-level epic-level mysterious beasts here, where can the epic-level mysterious beasts be so easy to capture?" Now there are only two in our Lingzhou, one is in the royal family, and the other is in the city lord of the Eastern Imperial City. ”
Shen Sangsang glanced at Yan Zhiyu and frowned: "Could it be that it is not here?" ”
Yan Zhiyu shook his head: "Continue to go to the legend level to have a look." After saying that, he set off and walked forward with the little servant. Shen Sangsang looked at the two of them, and had no intention of following, as if she was being pulled by some kind of traction, she walked straight to the ordinary Xuan Beast area.
She looked at the ordinary beast in front of her who was locked in a cage, and a complicated emotion was born in her heart, so she walked forward, her eyes locked on the little beast that had been white, the little beast was pure white, its eyes were pure and shining blue, and there was a tail behind it, it looked like a fox, but it was much smaller than a fox, and it seemed to be only as big as two hands.
When Shen Sangsang looked at it, the little beast also turned its head to look at her, there was no fear in his eyes, but a little more light, and from time to time he stretched out his claws and licked them, and then scratched his face with his paws. Shen Sangsang felt that it was really cute, so he reached out and prepared to touch it through the cage, who knew that surprisingly, the little beast seemed to know her intentions, and also stretched out its paws to touch her hand, I don't know if it was Shen Sangsang's hallucination, she seemed to see that when the little beast touched with herself, it seemed to flicker with a light blue light around its body, enveloping its entire small body. Just as she was stunned, footsteps came from behind her, and the little beast immediately put away its luster, and at the same time withdrew its paws, and lay gently in the cage, looking up at her.
"This is ......" When Yan Zhiyu's gaze touched the little beast, the little beast was obviously a little scared, and moved back vigilantly, but his eyes never took his eyes off Shen Sangsang's body.
Shen Sangsang looked at Yan Zhiyu and asked, "Can I raise it?" ”
The little guy on the side hurriedly said: "Guest officer, this is an ordinary white fox, far less powerful than what we just saw!" ”
Shen Sangsang saw that Yan Zhiyu nodded slightly in agreement, and immediately looked at the little guy with a smile, as if he didn't take his words to heart at all: "Open the cage, I want it." ”
Seeing that she was so resolute, the little girl had to step forward and open the door, Shen Sangsang immediately reached out and hugged the little beast out, it didn't seem to be afraid of people, and directly drilled into Shen Sangsang's arms, very happily closed her eyes and rubbed her head in her arms, Shen Sangsang looked at the little beast in his arms, and it was almost melted: "How much is it?" ”
"Twenty taels is enough." The little guy replied.
Yan Zhiyu glanced at Shen Sangsang, who was very satisfied, and asked, "I want all the ordinary mysterious beasts on your side, how many are there?" ”
"All...... All of them?! After hearing this, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up in surprise.
"Well, take them all, and put them all back in the woods." Yan Zhiyu replied lightly.
When Shen Sangsang heard this, he immediately looked at him with big eyes, and after a while, he saw that he paid the money in a lump sum very happily, and laughed unconsciously.
Walking on the road, Shen Sangsang glanced at him from time to time and asked, "Why did you buy them all?" ”
Yan Zhiyu didn't look at him, he seemed to be still angry, but he replied to her: "Those mysterious beasts that don't have soul power, maybe they will be locked in cages for the rest of their lives, if so, it's better to let them go, let them go back to the forest and start cultivating, and it will depend on their own creation in the future." ”
Shen Sangsang smiled and touched the head of the little beast in his arms, and then thought of his original intention, and asked, "Then the mysterious beast we are looking for ......"
"Isn't it in your arms?" Yan Zhiyu replied calmly.
"What?!" Shen Sangsang looked at the little beast in his arms in disbelief, "You're talking about this little thing?!" "How could it be so coincidental? But isn't this just an ordinary white fox? I don't seem to feel any soul power fluctuations around it, huh?
Yan Zhiyu glanced at the little beast in her arms: "This is the ancient divine beast Philip, known as the Worry Relief Beast, which looks like a fox, but when it grows up, the patterns on its body will appear, and the color will also change to light blue and white." Because Philip is an ancient divine beast, it is different from the mysterious beasts in the human world, so naturally he can't feel the fluctuation of soul power. This is probably the only Philip in the world. ”
Shen Sangsang is still hard to imagine, she looked at the little beast in her arms, she always felt that it didn't look like some ancient divine beast, could it be that the ancient divine beasts all made a living by selling cuteness?
"So there is a place in its body that communicates with the breath in my body?" She asked.
Yan Zhiyu nodded: "Although it is very weak, I can feel it, but it has not yet recognized the Lord, and you will not know more until it recognizes the Lord." ”
Shen Sangsang nodded, reached out and touched its head: "That's it, then what do you say it's called?" You can't just call it Philip, right? ”
"It's up to you." Yan Zhiyu replied.
Shen Sangsang tilted his head and thought for a while: "Then why don't you call it Sangyu?" ”
"Mulberry?" Yan Zhiyu slowly stopped and looked at Shen Sangsang.
Shen Sangsang smiled: "Yes, after all, this is what we found, so let's take one word from our names." Sangyu, don't you think it's very good? ”
Yan Zhiyu smiled silently, reached out in time to block his mouth, pretended to be indifferent, turned around and continued walking: "Yes." "Mulberry ...... It's a good name.
"Mulberry, Mulberry." Shen Sangsang called its name while looking at the mulberry in his arms, hoping that it would remember its name soon, "Mulberry represents sunset, but I hope you can be the sun after sunset!" ”
Yan Zhiyu looked at the happy girl beside him, his heart seemed to be stuffed, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and thought to himself, maybe in this world where he has lived for many years but is still a stranger, there are more things that can keep him after all.
At this moment, he seemed to understand the feeling of Jianxing back then, the feeling that even if she knew that gods and demons were different, she was still willing to stay in the demon world alone for the sake of being alone.
In fact, he didn't understand why he had a liking for this girl, at first it was just curiosity, then it was familiar, and then what was it? Maybe it's just as Jianxing once told himself, everyone in this world will have a marriage, and liking for no reason is the real liking. When you like someone, it's not about the length of time, it's more about the feeling. Some people can't like her even if they stay with you all the time, and some people just need a glance to make you understand what fate is.
And he has lived for so long, he can be regarded as living to understand......
