Chapter 10: Conspiracy
"It was still there. Ye Qingcheng said: "I don't know where to go now." β
As he spoke, Ye Qingcheng showed a suspicious look, why would such a powerful beast tamer care about a little wild cat?
"That's it. Yu Feng nodded, and didn't ask anything more, as if nothing had happened.
Yu Feng and Xiao Jing, two animal trainers from the Zhenbei Imperial Beast Palace, lived in the Ye family for five days. Ye Qingcheng treated them as the most important guests, but they would only come back late at night to spend the night, and they were almost nowhere to be seen during the day.
If this town is a ruined temple, then the two of them are statues bigger than the temple, they dare to capture the mysterious True Fire Heavenly Demon who has just been born, but Ye Qingcheng does not dare to have such extravagant hopes. However, he still hopes that such a big character can stay in his house for a little longer, so that he can also learn a little more from them.
Yu Feng and Xiao Jing searched for five days, but they didn't find any trace of the Heavenly Fire True Demon.
During this period, there was also an incident that made Ye Qingcheng puzzled.
The fire is gone.
He hadn't seen Lihuo since he left that night.
This day, early in the morning.
On the eastern sky, there is a gorgeous morning glow, and the rising sun is brewing.
In the courtyard of the Ye family, Ye Qingcheng sat under an old plum tree with waxy yellow plum blossoms, holding the "coat of arms" engraved with three paw prints - a round stone in his hand, and was in a daze.
Although he had not been with him for long, he had come to regard him as a member of the family. Lihuo's disappearance for no apparent reason makes him more and more restless.
That night, before leaving the fire, what did that look want to convey to him?
At this time, Xiao Jing carried a hare, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and saw that Ye Qingcheng was losing his mind, so he stepped forward curiously and said, "Little brother, what are you looking at?"
"Senior Xiao is back. Ye Qingcheng showed a smile, stood up and glanced at the stone in his hand, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I've always wanted to be a beast trainer, and a little boy next door gave me this, hehe." β
"Hey, the engraving on this is still the same. Xiao Jing smiled habitually. Then, when he saw the three marks on the round stone, his expression shook silently, and he said, "Can you lend me a look?"
"Hehe, it's a little shabby. Ye Qingcheng smiled and handed the round stone in his hand to Xiao Jing.
"This claw mark belongs to your little wildcat?"
"yes, isn't that a little naΓ―ve?"
"Not really. Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "Can you lend me this?"
"Absolutely. Ye Qingcheng said: "It's just, do you want to see this?"
"This stone is a bit peculiar. Xiao Jing didn't elaborate.
Then, Xiao Jing walked out of the courtyard with the stone, the street outside was sparsely populated, and Yu Feng was half-squatting in front of the melt marks left by the True Fire Heavenly Demon before.
"Senior brother, look. The smile on Xiao Jing's face disappeared, replaced by an unbelievable look.
Yu Feng took the stone, glanced at the three scratches on it, and then at the frost-stained black claw marks on the street.
Those three claw marks were left by the True Fire Heavenly Demon at the beginning.
"Is there such a thing?!" Yu Feng said in disbelief.
"Although it is still young, it is a Heavenly Demon level after all, why would it recognize such a mediocre imp?" Xiao Jing said.
Yu Feng thought for a moment, didn't study the reason, and said, "Fortunately, this is not a real beast taming crest, otherwise it would be difficult to do." β
"What do we do now?" Xiao Jing said.
"Although that kid is ordinary, he has an unyielding temper that can't be hard. Yu Feng said......
The sun was rising, and the sun was shining in the Ye family's courtyard.
"Hehe, I thought it was a strange stone. Xiao Jing sat at the stone table under the plum tree, handed the round stone back to Ye Qingcheng, and said with a smile: "However, Senior Brother said that there is nothing peculiar about it. β
Ye Qingcheng is not a fool, their appearance in the past few days has made him have some unwarranted doubts. However, he couldn't explain why.
At this time, Yu Feng took out a dagger with a white sheath, put it on the stone table, and said to Ye Qingcheng: "If you want to become a beast trainer, do you know the two things that a beast trainer must have?"
"Yes, dagger and rope. Ye Qingcheng said.
"This is a cold iron dagger, a fine dagger, worth ten thousand gold coins. As he spoke, Yu Feng took out another circle of gray ropes, put them on the stone table, and said, "This rope is made of the cold pool snow python tendons, and it is no longer something that can be bought with gold coins. Now, they're yours. β
Ye Qingcheng's eyes widened suddenly. He was not a greedy man, but he was still frightened to be placed in front of him with such a precious thing, especially a tamer.
"I can't ask for it. Ye Qingcheng shook his head and said, "These two treasures are so valuable that I can't imagine them. β
"We are a small country in the north of the town, and we have always been bullied by the border countries, not to mention the Heavenly Demon level alliance beasts, even the sixth-order alliance beasts. Yu Feng said: "Now, God has given us a chance to rise in the northern kingdom of Zhenbei, and we must seize it. As long as that Heavenly Demon can be caught and cultivated, its power alone is enough to make the Zhenbei Kingdom sound like the Cloud Heaven Continent. We've got to catchβ"
"But-" Ye Qingcheng just wanted to interrupt.
"Listen to me. Yu Feng said, "You want to become a beast trainer, you may have naΓ―ve thoughts about that heavenly demon. However, you also know that without strength, you will never be recognized by the Alliance. β
That's right, although Ye Qingcheng's strength is not strong and he doesn't have any background, he does have a little extravagant hope in his heart. What does it mean to be a True Fire Heavenly Demon? Get it, and he can ascend to the sky in one step. However, he also only secretly thought about it.
"You must know something. Yu Feng said.
At this time, Yu Feng and Xiao Jing had already judged from some clues that the fire in Ye Qingcheng's mouth was the True Fire Heavenly Demon, but Ye Qingcheng didn't know it.
Ye Qingcheng stared at the two treasures on the stone table and fell into silence.
At this time, Yu Feng increased his chips, and he pointed to the dagger and said, "After I go back, I will be a hall master of the Zhenbei Imperial Beast Palace, and I have the qualifications to accept apprentices." As long as you can help me find it, you will be the first disciple I have accepted. I will also fulfill your dream of becoming an animal trainer. β
The temptation is too great.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Qingcheng nodded and said: "To the north of Fengzui Mountain, there is a small mountain, which was originally called Baihu Mountain, and now everyone is used to calling it Beishantou. β
"Is that the hill that was hit by real fire?" Xiao Jing asked.
"Not bad. β
"We looked, but no. Yu Feng said.
"Before the fire fell, there was an old cave there. Ye Qingcheng said: "Later, the mountain was burned by real fire, and the cave was also sealed with lava. Since the True Fire Heavenly Demon came out of that mountain, it might hide in that cave. β
Yu Feng showed a mysterious smile and said, "As long as it's there, even if you can't catch it, I will take you as an apprentice." β
Ye Qingcheng couldn't hide his excitement for a while, and said, "You can directly take me to the Imperial Beast Palace?"
"Of course. Xiao Jing reached out and patted Ye Qingcheng's shoulder.
"That's right. Ye Qingcheng said: "The two seniors are both powerful beast tamers, can you help me find Lihuo?"
"It's just a little wild cat. Xiao Jing smiled: "With my senior brother here, even if it is a missing ant, he can help you find it." Now, take us to the location you mentioned. β
