Chapter 21: The Beast Tamer
The scene inside the house was, as expected, in tatters as seen outside.
The last rays of light shone through the cracks in the roof, illuminating the dim dark room. Through the dim light, Qu Shan vaguely saw that there was a long stone table in the middle of the door, with a thick layer of black oil-like things pasted on it, and behind the table, there was a chair with incomplete facial features.
In addition, there is a tall cabinet and a bed in the corner, all of which are so dilapidated that people can't bear to take a second look at them at one glance.
Mr. Shang, whom I had seen earlier, was lying on that chair with his head down and his eyes slightly closed, as if he were asleep.
However, as soon as Qu Dan and the four of them stepped into the door, he opened his eyes, looked at them, nodded and said, "Come on, sit casually." ”
"......" Qu Shan was speechless, "You have to have a place to sit casually, and in this room, is there any other place to sit except for the broken chair under your butt." ”
When he looked at it again, the old man lowered his head again and returned to his previous state.
There was silence in the room.
"He's not sleeping, is he?" the four cubs looked at each other, all feeling a little angry, "This old guy, left us hanging here?!"
However, the slander can only think in his heart, several people are not stupid, but they will not question each other face to face. Perhaps, Mr. Shang may have some special intentions.
After a while, there was a sudden creak outside the door, and someone pushed the door in.
Several people all had a thought in unison, and someone else came?
Indeed, there are still people coming, and the same people who enter the door are a few cubs about five years old, count them carefully, five people. However, the faces of these five guys are very unfamiliar, and Qu Shan and the others have never seen them at all.
"Who are they?" Qu Shan thought to himself. But it soon became apparent, probably a cub from a hussar or a city guard reserve battalion.
When they entered the camp, the cubs were randomly taken to the test site of one of the three armies, and when they passed, they naturally joined the reserve camp of that army, and from then on they were isolated from the other two armies. As for which army to enter after the Storm Bear Trial, it still depends on the specific situation, but that will be seven years later.
The five newcomers obviously didn't expect that there would be other people in the house, they were all stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, silently walked into the house, and stopped not far from Qu Dan and the others.
The old man in the chair finally opened his eyes again, he looked at everyone from left to right, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Very good, the Storm Bear Army, the Hussar Army, and the City Guard are here." Does anyone know why you were called?"
Everyone shook their heads together.
"In the previous warrior test, you may already know that your physique is probably a little different from others, and that's why I came to you......"
There were big question marks on everyone's heads.
"Spiritual ......power," the old man laughed dryly, "You are all people with outstanding mental power, much higher than ordinary warriors...... Those guys in the reserve camp are stupid, and your talent can only be wasted there...... But with me, I can bring your spiritual power to its fullest potential......"
There was a magical temptation in the old man's words, and when everyone heard it, they couldn't help but be fascinated, and an illusory and inexplicable scene appeared in their minds.
The scene seemed to be what the old man had described, but it didn't seem to be, vague and indistinct.
"That's not right!" Qu singles a spirit, and suddenly broke free from the scene, "What a powerful hallucination!"
This is a mental attack, and the song list is almost certain, and the old man quietly attaches it to it when he speaks, making people unknowingly hit the trick.
Qu Dan was mixed in the cultivation realm in his previous life, and he was no stranger to spiritual attacks, some demon cultivators were good at cultivating on the side, this kind of hallucinatory spiritual attack was essential, and he didn't expect that it would appear in this reckless and rampant Violent Bear Tribe.
The old man was visibly surprised, as if he was surprised that Qu Shan was able to get rid of his mental hallucinations so quickly, but he did not stop, but continued: "Do you want to become a Violent Bear Warrior? Do you want to have your own Violent Bear Mount? Do you want to ride your own mount like a real warrior, and cross the mountains and forests......
Xing Yi next to him suddenly trembled, his face was sweating profusely, and he looked at the old man's gaze, full of deep fear.
Wake up! This criminal one can actually get rid of Mr. Shang's attack, it's not easy!
From the first time I saw his skillful attack, Qu Shan knew that this cub was not simple, and today he was able to escape from Mr. Shang's attack for the second time after himself, and Qu Shan felt more and more that he was a little mysterious.
Taking a deep look at him, Qu Dan held his breath and meditated, resisting another wave of Mr. Shang's spiritual attacks.
"Perhaps, you can become a stronger warrior than them, and become the pride of the entire tribe, and the people of the Storm Bear tribe will be proud of you for many years......"
Another awakening.
This time, it was one of the five cubs they didn't know. At this time, his image was even more unbearable than that of Xingyi, sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of water, and even sweat soaked through the leather armor and dripping down.
Mr. Shang's already low voice suddenly lowered, slowly turned into a murmur, and finally was inaudible.
He looked at everyone quietly, his expression calm, not knowing what he was thinking.
Except for the three cubs who had woken up, the other six seemed to be trapped in Mr. Shang's mental hallucinations. Their eyes were straight, looking vacantly ahead, with a smirk on their faces, and even two cubs, saliva actually flowed from the corners of their mouths, saliva hung down, and a long line of water hung up shiny, and they didn't know what they saw from the old man's words.
"Wake up!" Mr. Shang suddenly shouted.
The cubs shook violently, and suddenly their bodies were full of excitement, and they all came back to their senses from the illusion. They looked at each other, not knowing what had just happened.
"Let's all go back. The old man waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave, "You three, stay." ”
He was talking about the three people who had just come to his senses, Qu Dan and Xing Yi, and another hussar or cub of the city guard.
The cubs who couldn't be ordered all showed disappointed expressions, they knew that they had probably missed something important and lost a very valuable opportunity in the moment they were in the illusion just now.
Sighing secretly, several people walked out of the room silently.
The old man looked at the remaining three and said with a smile on his face: "This is a simple mental power test, you have passed, and next, you will follow in the footsteps of the great beast tamer and become the pride of the tribe." ”
