Chapter 286: True and Illusory

(Anti-piracy chapter, real chapter to be updated later)

If people want to get spirit beasts, the most common means is to buy them from animal trainers, or catch spirit animals themselves and ask them to tame them.

This makes the animal trainer profession one of the most sought-after professions in all corners of the world, as they not only have great wealth but also a high social status, allowing them to live a prosperous life even if they are only the lowest-level animal trainers.

However, it is not easy to learn the art of animal taming, which does not have orthodox learning methods and classical secrets, but relies entirely on the experiments, explorations or oral teachings of millions of animal trainers.

Relying only on one's own experiments and explorations requires not only a lot of time and wealth, but also great talent and opportunity.

Moreover, the more advanced the beast trainer is, the more difficult it is to advance, and the beast tamer who has advanced to a high-level qualification by himself has not necessarily appeared in one of the 100,000 people.

It is not easy to get the oral teachings of the animal tamers, who regard all their animal taming secrets as treasures, and it is extremely difficult to worship under his disciples without enough chips to make their hearts move.

This is also the reason why Duan Yun cherishes studying in the Wang family so much, Wang Lin is a genuine junior beast trainer, if he can get his teaching, then Duan Yun is very likely to become a beast trainer.

As long as he can become an animal trainer, then his mother will no longer have to do that hard and lowly job for the three of them, and he can also hold up a piece of the sky for the three of them and two poor women.

Thinking of this, Duan Yun gritted his teeth fiercely: "I want to hold on, I must hold on." ”

Chapter 5: The Little Fox

To the west of Yong'an County is a dense forest, and in the middle of the night, a bonfire is gradually lit on a huge bluestone next to a clear stream deep in the forest. Duan Yun curled up his thin body, his arms around his knees, and threaded a fat black fish with sharpened branches and roasted it over the bonfire.

He would often come to the river deep in the forest late at night and roast it with his homemade fishing tools, not because he was hungry, but just for the sake of his stomach.

In the Wang family, he was often punished for various reasons, and was not allowed to eat, if he was unlucky, he might not have eaten for several days, and if he didn't come to the forest late at night to find something to eat, I am afraid he would have starved to death.

He was taking a big risk in doing so, and although there were very few spirit beasts in this forest, there were still a lot of man-eating beasts. A fourteen-year-old thin boy who is alone here late at night can be imagined. But in order to survive, these risks must also be taken.

However, his luck was not bad, and he was aware of the attack of wild beasts several times, and jumped directly into the river to escape.

"Squeak squeak......" A few crisp cries rang out.

Hearing this, Duan Yun first smiled slightly, and said softly to the grass not far away, "Come out, little guy!"

Before the words fell, a petite white phantom instantly jumped to Duan Yun's side and rubbed Duan Yun's body a few times affectionately,

This white phantom is a little fox, which is different from the most common red fox with pointed beak and long ears in the back mountain forest, but a round little face, short and round ears like a cute baby, the whole body of snow-white fluff without a single impurity, especially its big black eyes seem to be able to drip water.

After the little fox immediately discovered Duan Yun's serious injury, he couldn't help but show an extremely worried look, and gently licked Duan Yun's wound a few times.

"Thank you, Xiaoxue, I'm fine. Duan Yun stroked Xiao Xue's hair, and a trace of warmth suddenly grew in his heart, and then he put a grilled fish next to the little fox's mouth and said affectionately, "Eat it." ”

This little fox was met by Duan Yun by chance when he came to Houshan to look for food. He still remembered that time when he was just about to put a grilled fish in his mouth, he found that a small white fox not far away was staring directly at the food in Duan Yun's hand with its big watery eyes, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth was more than half a foot long.

Because the food was very limited that time, Duan Yun wanted to ignore him, but the little fox's pitiful appearance finally touched Duan Yun's disheartening heart and gave the little fox a part of the food.

Since then, almost every time he comes to Houshan to grill fish, this little fox will appear as scheduled, selling cute and begging for food.

The little fox's begging did not bore Duan Yun. On the contrary, after a long time, he developed a special affection for the little fox. Because of his humble status, he doesn't have a friend in this world, and it's hard to even find someone to talk to on weekdays. This has kept him in extreme loneliness.

But since Duan Yun met this little fox, he seemed to have found someone to talk to, his usual depression, and some heartfelt words also liked to talk to the little fox.

In such a relationship, Duan Yun already regarded the little fox as his best friend, because it was snow-white and female, so Duan Yun gave it a very apt name: "Xiaoxue." ”

Many times, Duan Yun also felt strange about Xiao Xue, I don't know why, Xiao Xue was not afraid of him at all since he first saw him, and even treated him very affectionately;

What's even more strange is that he often has an inexplicable feeling, as if Xiaoxue can understand him, whenever he looks into Xiaoxue's eyes, it seems that the pair of big watery eyes are telling him something, and he can also read Xiaoxue's joys, sorrows, and sorrows from them.

Duan Yunxiao looked at Xiaoxue, who was eating with relish, stroked the fluff on its back with his hand, and said softly: "Xiaoxue, we've known each other for six or seven years, why haven't you grown up at all!"

He didn't notice that his words made Xiao Xue, who was eating, slightly stunned, and then returned to normal in an instant.

Looking at Xiaoxue, Duan Yun's face showed a knowing smile, and then his conversation box opened, comparing the grievances he had suffered in the past to his vision for a better life in the future, from the good times when he was a child, to his thoughts about his mother, sister, and younger sister......

I heard Xiaoxue sometimes looking up, sometimes whining and whispering, but most of the time it was still busy eating.

Good times always seemed to be very short, and soon, Duan Yun got up and extinguished the bonfire, preparing to leave. Before leaving, he left the remaining fish to Xiaoxue, many years of fishing experience and enough big fish in the river water can already allow him to catch enough fish, every time, he will catch more fish for Xiaoxue, leaving Xiaoxue to eat in the next few days.

Before leaving, Duan Yun looked at the east that was already a little cloudy, looked up to the sky and sighed, then turned his head to Xiaoxue and smiled slightly: "I'm leaving, Xiaoxue!"

Xiao Xue whispered a few times as if she could understand a lot, and looked at Duan Yun affectionately with those big crystal eyes, her eyes full of reluctance.

Seeing Xiao Xue's expression, Duan Yun smiled, then leaned down and stroked Xiao Xue's head dotingly: "Silly boy, it's not like I'm not coming back, I'll come back in a few days, and we'll eat grilled fish together then!"

Just as Duan Yun was about to turn around and leave again, he found that Xiao Xue's gentle eyes suddenly became extremely panicked, and all the fluff on his body stood upright, and he kept squeaking and screaming at him.

Xiao Xue's strong reaction immediately made Duan Yun vigilant, he knew that Xiao Xue was warning himself that there was danger, the first few times Xiao Xue had this reaction, it was all a beast attack, so he ran towards the river not far away without hesitation, preparing to jump directly into the river to escape.

But he soon realized that things were far from being as simple as a beast attack, for he felt the earth tremble violently, and the birds and beasts in the forest scattered as if they had seen the end of the world.

"Is there going to be an earthquake?" was his first reaction, but he soon sensed that the source of such a large tremor was not from the ground, but from the sky.
