Chapter 164: The People of the Spirit Beast Hall (1st Update)
The man who was reprimanded hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the shopkeeper's lesson is." ”
The shopkeeper spoke again: "Do what you can do, this is the most basic rule of survival." If you want to take it one step further, you must first gain a firm foothold in the Spirit Beast Hall. ”
Tang Feng was a little strange, the voices of the two people who spoke were a little familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere, until the shopkeeper mentioned the three words of the Spirit Beast Hall, Tang Feng suddenly remembered that this shopkeeper was actually the shopkeeper of the Spirit Beast Hall in Jing'an City, and the other one was the shopkeeper who had knocked the gong and shouted at the door of the Spirit Beast Hall before.
Tang Feng had thought about the source of those ornamental spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Hall before, the only place near Jing'an City that could produce spirit beasts was Quting Mountain, and the Spirit Beast Hall only opened once every half a month. Obviously, it was because they were going into Quting Mountain to find a source of goods.
Although Quting Mountain is behind Tianxiu, it is not difficult to get in, except for masters such as Xiangye Shenqiu who can go directly to it, you can also walk in from the other side by taking a long detour. After all, Quting Mountain is so big, and it is not marked by Tianxiu, and it is not Tianxiu's private property, but Tianxiu is located at the foot of Quting Mountain, and ordinary people will not enter the mountain.
As the group of people walked, the shopkeeper of the Spirit Beast Hall suddenly said: "You can't go any further, further on is the territory of the third-order spirit beasts, and none of us can beat it." ”
They are also a little self-aware, second-order spirit beasts are equivalent to high-grade cultivators of the Yellow Order, with the strength of this group of people, as long as they don't encounter groups of people, there will be no danger. But the third-order spirit beasts were different, if they touched them, they would definitely die one or two people.
Tang Feng hadn't spoken to anyone for so many days, he was about to suffocate to death, plus he had been running for so many days, he was hungry and thirsty, he knew all these people, his strength was not high, and he was not harmful to himself, so Tang Feng jumped out of the shadows.
This time, these people were taken aback.
They only saw a humanoid monster who was dirty, disheveled, ragged, and his face was black and flickering, and even his appearance was a little unclear, and several people suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy, although the shopkeeper also had some strength, but it was only the Yellow Order, but there were a few people around him, all of whom were of the upper grade of the Yellow Order, especially the big man with the cage on his back, who should be about to reach the Xuan Rank realm, and the cage behind him was filled with a lot of small spirit beasts.
However, what puzzled Tang Feng was that most of the spirit beasts in this cage were the pups of some aggressive spirit beasts, and there were only one or two ornamental ones.
Isn't the Spirit Beast Hall only selling ornamental spirit beasts? What are they doing with these aggressive ones? And listening to what they just said, it seems that they still belong to a hall, and in addition to these people, there are more powerful people in the depths.
"What person!" When Tang Feng jumped out, the big man was stunned for a moment, and then blocked in front of everyone.
Tang Feng stretched out his hands and brushed the dirty hair that had not been taken care of for many days to the back of his head, revealing a face, looking at them with a smile, his black face, with the white teeth, looked as scary as he wanted.
Seeing that Tang Feng didn't answer, a group of people suddenly became uneasy, since they entered Quting Mountain to look for spirit beasts, they had never met others, even those Tianxiu disciples had never found them, but at this moment, they saw a mountain and wild person dressed so strangely, how could they not be afraid, especially this mountain and wild person also has good strength.
The shopkeeper was the least courageous, and he was already trembling with fright, pulling the sleeve of the shopkeeper, and said in a trembling voice: "The shopkeeper, is this the legendary savage?"
The shopkeeper is somewhat knowledgeable, although the clothes Tang Feng is wearing are tattered, but at a glance he knows that they are tailor-made, and the cloth is still a good cloth, how can it be a savage? At that moment, the shopkeeper hugged his fist and said: "May I ask your Excellency's surname, how can you make it like this in Quting Mountain?"
Tang Feng sniffed, looked away from the cage, and said, "Do you have anything to eat?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, looked Tang Feng up and down, and then beckoned to the person next to him, who untied the burden he was carrying, and the shopkeeper took out a few steamed buns from it: "We only brought these." ”
Tang Feng was not polite, he directly grabbed the steamed bun, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
These days, all I eat is wild fruits and the like, and now this steamed bun is not tasteless, but it is much better than those wild fruits.
Seeing that Tang Feng did not have any malicious intent, the big man who had been standing in front of Tang Feng also dispersed his vigilance. The shopkeeper was good, and when he saw Tang Feng eating a wolf, he gave him a pot of wine.
After killing a few steamed buns and a pot of wine in one go, Tang Feng burped contentedly, only to feel extremely enjoyable. People really only feel that everything is delicious when they are the most hungry, with Tang Feng's identity, he has never eaten this kind of cold steamed bun since he was a child, although Tang Feng's status in Tianxiu was very low before, but the food is still the same as the young master.
"Thank you!" Tang Feng groped and fumbled, originally wanted to draw a silver ticket for others, but after thinking about it, his silver tickets had all been given to Yu Zhong, and now he didn't even have half a dime on him, so he could only say thank you.
"It's just a small thing. The shopkeeper waved his hand, and was about to ask Tang Feng's origin more carefully, but Tang Feng was already anti-guest: "By the way, what are you doing with these spirit beasts?"
The shopkeeper said next to him, "What's the matter with you?"
Tang Feng smiled, he didn't plan to embarrass others, the Spirit Beast Hall did business to make some money, but also to support his family, it was not easy, and the person in charge of the shopkeeper was not bad. Tang Feng just asked casually, he was very curious about where the offensive spirit beasts caught by these people in the Spirit Beast Hall had gone.
The shopkeeper also looked at Tang Feng with some vigilance, and replied, "It's none of my friends' business, right?"
Tang Feng laughed: "I'll ask casually." ”
He could tell that when he asked the question, there was already some hostility on the faces of these people. If they can't see through their own strength, they probably will do it.
It is indispensable to guard against people, and Tang Feng himself will be vigilant in the face of strangers, so he can understand their approach and doesn't care too much. Moreover, what the Spirit Beast Hall did in Quting Mountain, as long as it didn't harm Tianxiu or him, he couldn't bully others.
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's the best!"
"But ......" Tang Feng glanced at the spirit beasts that were locked in the cage and said, "If it's possible, don't catch these spirit beasts in the future." They are also raised by fathers and mothers, and it is quite pitiful to be arrested as soon as they are born. ”
Tang Feng absorbed countless spirit beasts Neidan, and now the number of yin souls on the skeletons of the little skeleton has skyrocketed by nearly a thousand, and he also feels that these spirit beasts are much kinder, of course, provided that they no longer chase and kill themselves.
The shopkeeper laughed: "Friends are full of food and drink, let's go on the road, I will consider your suggestion." ”
Tang Feng could see that the shopkeeper's words were just breeding. The Spirit Beast Hall is the only one in Jing'an City, and there is no other branch. Every time you open a business, you can make a lot of money, who would be willing not to do this business. Not to mention, those attacking spirit beasts they caught, if those attacking spirit beasts can be cultivated, they can also form a strong fighting force.
Tang Feng didn't want to entangle with them more, so he just nodded and said: "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, catch too many spirit beasts, be careful that those spirit beasts will come to take revenge." ”
The shopkeeper walked up to Tang Feng and pushed him angrily: "Who do you think you are, what else is good to repay evil and evil, the master has been catching spirit beasts for four or five years, and he really hasn't met anyone who is looking for me to take revenge, but he is just a man from the mountains and wilderness, and he dares to say such things." ”
Although it was just easy to teach him a lesson, Tang Feng didn't bother to bother with him, and after finishing speaking, he didn't pay attention to these people anymore, turned around and ran towards Tianxiu, just a few ups and downs and disappeared from the sight of these people.
After Tang Feng left, Xiao Er turned his head to look at the shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper, just let him go? What if he leaks the news?"
The shopkeeper stared at the direction where Tang Feng disappeared, and said for a while: "What can we do if we don't let him go?" We can't keep him, this person is at least a Xuan-level strength, if only the branch hall master was here. ”
"But...... The branch masters, they are all in the range of activities of the third-order and fourth-order spirit beasts at the moment. ”
"I'll talk to the branch master when I get back. Let's go, let's go back to the house in a few days, and after this time, my old bones can go back to the sect to spend their old age in peace. The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, he has been running the Spirit Beast Hall for ten years, and it is time to retire.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Spirit Beast Hall is nothing more than a shop selling ornamental spirit beasts, but in fact, it is a branch of a large sect, which is responsible for capturing spirit beasts in Quting Mountain. Externally, there are only a few of them who are in charge, and their strength is not high, and they can only catch weaker spirit beasts on the periphery, but more people in the branch hall are hidden, and they are not known to outsiders, at this moment, they are all looking for those third-order, fourth-order and even fifth-order spirit beast cubs inside Quting Mountain, and every month, a large number of captured cubs are sent to the sect for cultivation.
This time the entry into the mountain seemed to be particularly smooth, and by noon the next day, this group of people had already caught thirty spirit beasts, and had already met the requirements for the number of spirit beasts to be captured each time they entered the mountain. The shopkeeper was about to take someone home, but suddenly he felt the ground under his feet shaking, and the shaking amplitude was getting bigger and bigger.
Not only the shopkeeper noticed it, but everyone else was aware of it too. Although the strength of these people is not high, they have finally cultivated, and they have all raised their vigilance for a while, and the expressions on their faces are extremely nervous, but their eyes are blank, and they don't know what is going on at all.
This kind of movement is a bit frightening, especially in the deep mountains and forests, rumbling endlessly, as if thunder has rolled over the earth.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?" the big man with the spirit beast cage on his back swallowed his saliva and asked.
The shopkeeper also shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
As soon as this sentence fell, from the depths of Quting Mountain, there was a sudden wolf howl that resounded through the sky, and the next moment, countless beast roars came and went, one after another, deafening!
