Chapter 15: By the Pond of Sukuno

The Yuntian Continent respects martial arts, but martial arts are not the most noble profession. The three most revered golden professions today are: animal trainer, alchemist, and medicine master.

The beast tamer merges martial arts and beast power, and its status and strength are far above ordinary martial artists, and refiners and pharmacists are both professions that martial artists rely on to grow, and they are naturally highly respected.

The profession of animal trainer originated 100,000 years ago. At the beginning, the brute beasts between heaven and earth were dominant, and human beings were just the food of those brute beasts. However, at that moment, a powerful peak powerhouse appeared, the Immortal Fire Ancestor. He is a descendant of the unicorn and humans, and he is also the strongest of the human race, in order to help mankind escape the fate of being killed and enslaved, he stepped forward and used mysterious ancient stunts to kill the seven dark dragons that dominated the world at that time, and sealed their ghosts in the seven giant halls.

After that ancient skill was handed down, it is the beast taming technique used by animal tamers today. The Immortal Fire Ancestor naturally became the ancestor of beast taming, and he was also the first generation of beast kings.

Later, human beings once dominated the world, covering every corner of heaven and earth. However, just over 10,000 years ago, the pattern of heaven and earth was broken again. The human race, which has dominated the world for 90,000 years, has been slaughtered by the long-enduring, terrifying, and giant tide of brute beasts, and six human continents have been occupied by brute beasts one after another. Only the Cloud Sky Continent remained, which became the last refuge for mankind.

All the territories outside the Yuntian Continent are called the Great Wilderness.

The reason why the Yuntian Continent stood firm in this chaotic situation was because of the protection of a great beast king comparable to the ancestor of beast taming. His name was Yuntian.

The ancestor of the ancient beast tamer, after slaying the seven dark dragons, sealed their souls in seven dragon slaying halls, and they each stood on each continent. Anyone who can open any of the Dragon Slaying Palaces, defeat the dragon soul in the temple, and obtain the dragon seal it bestows, can be worshiped as the king of all beasts. And Yuntian is the only beast king who defeated the dragon soul in the seven dragon slaying halls and obtained the seven dragon seals since the appearance of the seven dragon slaying halls.

Later, when the catastrophe came, countless powerful brute beasts gathered in the Great Wilderness and fought with Yun Tian and his Yun Clan Alliance Beast Legion in the North Sea.

In that battle, Yuntian was killed in battle, and the leaders of the major terrifying barbarian beasts also died countless times, forming a lose-lose situation.

After Yuntian's death, the old ancient calendar ended and changed to a new ancient calendar, and this continent was also named Yuntian Continent.

However, although Yun Tian was killed in battle, his Yun clan army still existed. Those allied beasts that shook the heavens and the earth, adhering to the will of Yuntian, have guarded this continent for nearly a thousand years.

Every powerful beast tamer has its own allied beast legion. The Yun Clan Legion is the most powerful force in heaven and earth.

The Yun Clan Legion originally had fifteen members of the Alliance Beasts, eight of whom died in battle with Yuntian, and there were still seven left, three of whom were hidden, and would not appear at a critical moment, and the remaining four had been guarding the Yuntian Continent, they were: Mad Demon - Green Fire Crane, Barbarian King - Tianmu Tiger, Snow Emperor - Split Wind, Hades Emperor - Qingyu.

Because of their deterrence, the Yuntian Continent enjoyed nearly a thousand years of tranquility.

..................

In the evening, Ye Qingcheng led the short-eared horse and walked in the green wheat field.

Hiding from the fire in the robe in his arms, he had been listless, it seemed that the fire spell released before was too powerful, and it consumed too much of its spiritual source.

On the western sky, there is a strong sunset, the vast wheat fields are endless, and the heaven and earth complement each other, giving people a kind of quiet beauty of relaxation and happiness.

At this time, Ye Qingcheng was in a very good mood, in his opinion, this unknown and mysterious world was in front of his eyes, waiting for him to explore. Of course, the premise is that he must leave the northern country of Zhenbei as much as possible, and Yu Feng is a very powerful character, and once he escapes from the fire curse seal, he will definitely use a qiē pursuit force to get out of the fire.

However, there is now a problem that is quite embarrassing for him. This short-eared horse borrowed from the Bai family, after galloping for a few hours, was so tired that he didn't run anyway.

"Uncle Bai spoiled you, and he was usually reluctant to ride you, so he only ran for a long time, and he was tired like this. Ye Qingcheng glanced at the short-eared horse, and every few steps it took, it would lower its head and eat a few mouthfuls of wheat seedlings.

Ye Qingcheng's idea was that since there was a large wheat field here, there must be many villages around, so he could find a random village, buy a horse and leave. Along the way, however, he found some unusual signs. For example, there are many wild boars grazing in the wheat fields, but not a single farmer has come to take care of them.

Such a good wheat field was spoiled by these wild beasts, which was undoubtedly a distressing devastation for the farmer.

Leaving the fire in his arms, he was already snoring tiredly. He led the short-eared horse slowly through the wheat field, thinking about the future in his heart. He had spent a few years outside with his dad and had an understanding of the outside world. If he fled in this southwest direction, as long as he traveled another 300 miles, he could enter another small country, the country of Baishi. Three hundred miles, for a good horse, can be completed in more than two days. The horse he was holding was certainly not good, it was too lazy, fat and short-legged.

He had to find a small town, sell the horse and get a few gold coins on him to buy a good horse. This period of time away from the fire must be a period of weakness, and besides, in the case of people, the fire must not be demonized, otherwise it will provoke the eyes of others.

Therefore, he could not ride away from the fire.

"If I'm not mistaken, fifty miles to the southwest, there should be a small city. Ye Qingcheng said to himself: "However, it won't work tonight." We have to wait for the short-eared horse to nourish its spirits, and we will be able to run to that small town tomorrow at noon. ”

Yu Feng and Xiao Jing were trapped, and it would take more than two days to escape, if he followed his plan, he could escape to the small country of Baishi when they launched a large-scale pursuit.

Another half hour passed.

The sky was getting darker, and the wind was cold. Ye Qingcheng finally saw a small village in the distance.

In the distance, a row of trees surrounds the small village, which looks very inconspicuous, and it is no different from an ordinary small village. However, Ye Qingcheng once again discovered a strange phenomenon.

At this time, it should be the time for the villagers to raise the fire to cook, why didn't even a single smoke rise in the lonely village?

On the clear sky, a new moon rose, and Ye Qingcheng stood in the wheat field, hesitating to enter the small village. At this moment, Lihuo poked a small head out of his arms, and stared at the eerily quiet little village with amber eyes.

"No, not even the barking of dogs and chickens. Ye Qingcheng said vigilantly: "Let's not enter the village." ”

So he turned his face and looked around, and saw a small pond frozen not far away, with a few old bare trees beside the pool, and a simple little shack under the tree, which seemed to have been built by the villagers to guard the wheat fields. Then he led the horse and walked over, tied it to the tree, and looked around the little hut, which was very simple, but with some dry wood and an old iron pot.

"Let's stay tonight. Ye Qingcheng said: "That village is too quiet. Besides, I don't like to disturb people. ”
