Volume 1 The Kingdom of the Sky Chapter 21 The Great Animal Tamer
Seeing that the fireball was about to hit the target, the two Gale Griffins suddenly rose several meters in place as if they had eyes on their backs, and the fireballs exploded under them, setting off waves of heat.
The galley griffons turned around and stared fiercely at the group below with their brass bell-sized eyes, but perhaps because they weren't sure who had done it, they didn't attack rashly, although their eyes wandered vigilantly back and forth over the crowd.
"Just by looking at the momentum, you know that this demon clan is not easy to deal with!" Reinana temporarily put aside her worries and returned to the predicament in front of her.
"Hmm......" Yan Huixue nodded, "They have a strong sense of danger, which shows that they have experienced battles in normal times." I'm going to give you a big one this time!" After speaking, he slowly stretched out his hands and did his best to lock the Arashi group of Gale Griffons.
"Don't!" Ding Qi suddenly rushed to Yan Huixue and waved his hand to interrupt her spell, "Dong Ci and Da Ci are Gale Griffins who have been domesticated by Lord Tong Hua, and they are indispensable and important members of our Heavenly Spirit Eight Clans, which are different from those wild demons!"
"Domesticate gale griffins?" Yan Huixue expressed great skepticism, "Gale griffins are bloodthirsty by nature, even if they are domesticated since childhood, they can't stop their instinctive yearning for killing, how great it must be for a tamer who can change their habits!"
"Yes!" Ding Qi nodded very seriously, "Master Tong Hua is such a great beast tamer!"
Perhaps hearing the sound here, two rows of Spirit Clan guards with spears suddenly rushed out of the palace, all with expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, and they surrounded Zheng Ding and the others in the core without saying anything.
First, a man who looked like a captain stepped forward, looking extremely fierce, and shouted at Zheng Ding: "Human, what do you want to do to kidnap our spirit women?"
"No, no, no!" Xin Chen shook his hand repeatedly, "We're just chatting here, they're not bad guys!"
The man's expression instantly softened, changed into a smiling face, touched his stomach and smiled: "It turns out that he is not a bad person!
Before Zheng Ding and the others had time to be surprised, the man seemed to remember something, re-arranged, and continued to blow his beard and glare at Zheng Ding and the others: "What a sinister human being! I was almost deceived by you! You were the ones who just shot at Lord Dongci and Lord Daci, right? If you are not a bad person, why do you do this? Lord Dongci and Lord Daci are so kind-faced, ordinary people will not fail to see that they have been domesticated!"
And the group of soldiers who had just let down their guard also had an expression like waking up from a dream, and while straightening their bodies again, they didn't forget to talk to each other: "Fortunately, Captain C is careful, otherwise we will fall for the way of these human villains!"
Yan Huixue was in a cold sweat, and looked back at Ding Qi and the others, hoping that they could come forward to explain again, but when she saw it, she was immediately startled, and saw that Ding Qi and Xin Chen, the two little girls, had hidden behind the group of guards without knowing when they had been, and they were sticking out their heads and biting their fingertips and looking at their party in horror.
"Hey!" Yan Huixue felt extremely tired, the brain circuits of this group of spirit clan living treasures were extremely strange, obviously different from us humans, looking at their current full-fledged appearance, I didn't know if they would listen to their own explanations, so they had to shrug helplessly: "If I said that those fireballs were sent by mistake by my hand slippery, do you believe it?"
"What??" Captain C was really shocked when he heard this, and just when Zheng Ding and the three of them sighed secretly, Captain C said again, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Ding Qi also separated from the guards, returned to Yan Huixue, and kept patting his chest: "It turned out that your hands were slippery, so I said that you are good people!"
Zheng Ding and the three of them were petrified again, what kind of place did they go to? Don't the residents here know that there is a word called "lying"?
Captain C whistled at the two gale griffons in the air and waved his hand vigorously: "Knock Lord! Hit Lord! Misunderstanding! Please continue to carry out the mission!"
The two Gale Griffins, named Dongji and Daci, seemed to understand Captain C's words, and after circling in the air twice, one turned and turned into two white dots in the distant sky.
"Since you are innocent, then we won't bother!" Captain C beckoned, and the guards put away their weapons and trotted back to the palace.
"Goodbye, Uncle C!" Xin Chen greeted with a smile as Captain C passed by.
"Goodbye!" Captain C responded enthusiastically.
"You ...... Familiar, huh?" asked Renana, leaning closer and cautiously.
"Well, it's familiar!" Xin Chen replied.
"Can the Gale Griffin really abandon its nature?" Yan Huixue was still struggling with this question, and was stunned in the direction where Dong Ci and Da Ci were gone.
"Of course it's true!" Xin Chen's tone was very firm, "Why don't we go and see what they do?"
"Yes, yes!" Renana was the first to jump out in agreement.
"But...... They can't be seen anymore!" Zheng Ding frowned.
"It's okay!" Ding Qi was not worried about this at all, "Dong Ci and Da Ci are holding the big box on their feet, they must have gone to Tianling Square to 'give alms'!
"What the hell is this?" asked Zheng Ding and the three of them almost at the same time.
"You'll know if you see it!" Xin Chen didn't explain, and jumped up and down to lead the way.
"Grandpa said that the Misty Mountains have become a hell on earth, is it true?" Xin Chen didn't take two steps before turning around and curiously asking Zheng Ding about what was going on on the ground.
Zheng Ding thought for a while: "Count...... It's true!"
Xin Chen couldn't hear the question in his tone at all, and his eyes flashed with admiration: "Then you must be very powerful when you come up from there!"
Although the other party is just a Lori, being worshiped by women with this kind of eyes has always been Zheng Ding's greatest joy in life, and he puffed up his chest at the moment, and he didn't want to explain it clearly: "Of course!"
A group of five people walked all the way south along the jade avenue, and it didn't take long to come to the "Tianling Square" in Xin Chen's mouth, and the environment around the palace, all the facilities of Tianling Square are also made of beautiful jade, and the three of Zheng Ding were amazed, especially Lei Nana, who forgot to wipe her saliva when she came out.
But at odds with the tone of the jewels, there was a long row of coarse linen patched ordinary residents in front of a jade platform in the center. Behind the countertop, a middle-aged woman in a floral dress resembling a butterfly kept grabbing small packets of things from the boxes and distributing them to the residents in line, while the two Gale Griffins stood solemnly on her left and right, like two bodyguards.
"These are the poor people in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Spirit, and Lord Tong Hua is distributing seeds to them for various crops, hoping that they can live a prosperous life as soon as possible by their own labor. Ding Qi pointed to the group of residents and middle-aged women and introduced them to Zheng Ding and others.
"Is this the great beast tamer Tong Hua?" Yan Huixue couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, "Looking at the obedient appearance of those two gale griffins, their loyalty is really not low." ”
Feeling Yan Huixue's scorching gaze, Tong Hua turned her head slightly to look here, and saw that Zheng Ding and the others were accompanied by Ding Qi and Xin Chen, and threw a warm smile at them, so she buried herself in her "charity" activity again.
The sharp-eyed Rena could see at a glance what made her different from the others: "Her ears are different from yours, isn't she from the Spirit Clan?"
"Yes, Master Tong Hua and Lord Ming Hai are both human beings who came to the Eight Heavenly Spirits Ten Years ago, just like you. Xin Chen said.
"The last five! Those who haven't received the seeds will come back to line up next week!" With Tong Hua's shout, the long line automatically disbanded, leaving only the first five people.
Seeing this scene, Lei Nana couldn't help but shake her head slightly: "Why don't you register, what if those who have already received the seeds come to collect them again next week?"
"Why do you want to receive it repeatedly?" Ding Qi tilted his head and looked at Lei Nana in confusion.
"Okay......" Faced with such a simple look, Renana was powerless to refute.
At this time, Tong Hua had already finished distributing the last seeds, twisted her waist and came to Zheng Ding and the others, and greeted in a soft voice: "You guys are so good!"
"We just teleported from the ground. Tong Hua's bright and coquettish style did not arouse Zheng Ding's interest.
"Really?" the look of surprise flashed in Tong Hua's eyes, "It's been many years since the Eight Heavenly Spirits had visitors on the ground. ”
"I heard that you are not a native of this place, so do you usually go back to the surface, and if so, how? Because we heard that the circle that returned to the surface has been sealed. Zheng Ding continued to ask.
"Hehe, did a few guests think about leaving as soon as they came?" Tong Hua pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, say hello to me when you want to go back, and I'll let Dongci and Daci take you back!"
"Knock...... Da Ci ......?" Zheng Ding was confused.
"Where did your soul go when you were at the gate of the palace just now? Aren't Dongci and Daci those two big birds?" Lei Nana pointed to the two gale griffins that followed Tong Hua and counted down Zheng Ding.
"Yes, they're good!" Tong Hua said with her fingers brushing the feathers on Dongci's head, "Do you want to touch them too?"
As soon as Renana's hand tried to reach halfway, Dong Ci suddenly glared at her and let out a long howl, and was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand again, her expression extremely embarrassed.
"Actually, there are so many beautiful jades on your side, just take some of them and sell them on the ground is enough for the residents here to squander them for a lifetime, so why do you want to live by receiving relief seeds like now?" After learning that there was a way to go back, Lei Nana moved her mind about these jade stones again, and asked Tong Huadao tentatively.
When Tong Hua heard this, she changed her style of scratching her head and frowning deeply.
"In the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Spirits, any jade trade is illegal. Xin Chen broke the silence.
"What kind of rule is this?" said Renana, shocked.
Xin Chen's face showed displeasure, but then he returned to normal and continued to explain: "Grandpa said that jade is a non-renewable resource, and if you sell one piece, you will lose one piece, and if you don't control it, no matter how much jade you have, it will be spent one day." For the sake of the long-term thinking of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Spirits, and not just for the enjoyment of our generation or two, we must work hard from now on to establish an economic system that does not depend on jade. ”
Zheng Ding and the others were stunned again, this reason seems to be quite reasonable, but why is it a very absurd smell, it always feels weird.
"Xiao Xinchen, you always mention your grandfather, your grandfather is a great person, isn't he?" Yan Huixue half-squatted down and looked at Xin Chen.
"Yes, her grandfather is the king of our Heavenly Spirit Eight Divisions!" Ding Qi replied hurriedly on the side.
