Chapter 285: Dad?
The Mercenary Kingdom is probably located in the northwest territory of the Catherian Empire, which is more than twice the size of the Xia Kingdom, and all the small kingdoms and towns around it serve it.
As soon as he entered the mercenary kingdom area, Xia Jiang felt a strong mercenary atmosphere, whether it was a tacit team or a lonely individual, they all exuded a strong mercenary will, running for their respective tasks.
The missions opened by the major guilds of the mercenary kingdom not only include Cather, it can be said that the missions of the entire continent and even the countries on the edge of the continent will appear here, so you can imagine how many mercenaries will appear here every day!
Xia Jiang entered it, and he was not in a hurry to understand the identity and qualifications of the current mercenary, he wanted to take everyone to visit and understand the customs of this kingdom first.
They are now located in the southern districts, which are some of the areas served by the kingdom's main sub-districts, also known as cities, but because they are almost perfectly connected to the other cities, they do not resemble independent cities. As for the ancillary services, it's mostly about a qiē related to mercenaries other than equipment.
For example, there is a medical center, a blood hall for blood rejuvenation, a skills training room, and a special practice practice.
In the opposite East District, most of them are official or unofficial certifications of mercenary status qualifications, promotion identity certification, contribution value, etc.
The northern area is all equipment, and it is almost the area with the largest number of stayers, basically any magic weapon can be bought there, and even the storage of spiritual weapons, if you have enough resources, you can get it.
And to the west, that is the noble area, which is equivalent to a high-density condensation of the entire kingdom, where all the essence is concentrated, and extremely repulsive to the outside.
To put it simply, ordinary mercenaries are not eligible to enter the West Side, so for most mercenaries, they will be able to enter and exit the West End as their own goals!
Xia Jiang entered from the southern area, and at this moment he came to the door of a practice room.
Although it is named after the "room", the inner scope must definitely be described as huge, not to mention a few of them, even if 100,000 people flock in, the facilities and services here can entertain everyone in place.
Originally, Xia Jiang himself could create a powerful cultivation environment at any time, but in the face of such a convenient place and this thick atmosphere, it was a pity that he didn't come in to cultivate.
It was also after using Mei Mei and Mei in it that Xia Jiang's group of four people came to it and began to cultivate.
But having said that, cultivation in this is naturally a huge benefit, just like when Xia Jiang first went to the cultivation ground in Yanqiu City, the strong energy and aura of the treasure tree plant gave him huge assistance and inspiration, making him feel deeper and deeper for spirit beasts.
It was also on the second day that the body of the huge spirit beast finally trembled slightly, and began to show a hint of reaction.
And this trembling, the spiritual power emitted was even more stimulated, causing the surrounding spiritual flowers and plants to quickly dim, and they actually directly absorbed all their potential spiritual power.
As for Xia Jiang, his scalp was also a little numb and depressed by this spiritual power fluctuation, so he had to take it. That's right, the spiritual power of spirit beasts is much stronger than the spiritual power of human cultivators after reaching the spiritual cultivator, and in Xia Jiang's opinion, it feels like their own qualifications are already equivalent to the human spirit king Cheng Dù!
The reason why the spirit kings are called kings is that their spiritual power splits the heavens and the earth, and wherever their minds go, they make all beings surrender and all things worship.
Now the spirit beast released by Xia Jiang naturally exploded under its touch, and the momentum in an instant was almost the majesty of the spirit king.
Knowing the power of the spirit beast, but this outbreak was still beyond Xia Jiang's expectations, he immediately grasped this spiritual power even more, and at this moment, with his understanding of the spiritual power of the Ruthless Gu Pill, he had to thoroughly communicate with this spiritual power, interact, and strive to reach a tacit understanding with it further.
That's right, after a spirit beast is born, it is naturally a single individual, they have extremely high intelligence, and they are by no means much worse than humans, so there is no reason to depend on humans to survive, so if you want to tame this spirit beast, you often have to pay a much greater price than you imagined.
Xia Jiang had already touched the reaction of the spirit beast now, so he naturally had to complete the next step in one go, otherwise wouldn't he have lost his previous efforts by keeping the rock until now?
"Cute and great little ant spirit animal, I hatched you and gave birth to me, I am your father, your master, don't be ungrateful......"
Xia Jiang said slowly to the little spirit beast in an extremely gentle and loving voice, his voice contained the spiritual power he cultivated based on the spirit beast, as well as the magic sound effect, at this moment it was almost the same kind of this little spirit beast, and the spiritual power had a kind of similarity with it.
However, it also seemed that Xia Jiang was too anxious, although this huge body, it was obviously a larval ant spirit beast like a small ball of meat, and it couldn't respond to him at all, it was still trembling slightly.
But Xia Jiang was not discouraged, he knew that the IQ of spirit beasts was different from that of other beasts, and their comprehension ability was much stronger than that of humans, and they were almost equivalent to human beings in their teens as soon as they were born.
It was also when the middle of the night passed, in Xia Jiang constantly touched and wrapped the ant spirit beast with spiritual power, and constantly emitted a faint and loving voice around him, as if he was singing a lullaby to a little baby, almost falling into a cyclical rhythm, making him drowsy.
At this moment, as he himself was drowsy, suddenly the ant, which had always been like a small ball of meat, trembled and opened slightly.
His eyes opened slightly, he still listened to Xia Jiang humming softly beside him, and his spiritual power continued to caress it, and suddenly his eyes instinctively turned to Xia Jiang, the closest familiar thing to it.
The little ant's eyes were a little blurry at first, but as they adapted to the light outside, it became clearer, and suddenly, it saw the things in front of it clearly: small, but it exuded an extremely familiar and warm atmosphere, and the voice, faintly the sound that woke him up from the chaos, all of which told it, and the thing in front of him was the great existence of the creation of it, and it was its ...... Father? or Daddy?
"Daddy?" the little ant tried to send a message, but it found that its antennae had not yet fully grown, and it was a little soft and unable to move, so it opened its mouth, but the organs were not yet formed than its antennae, and when it saw this, it suddenly became anxious.
In fact, according to the growth of this ant, it will take at least a month to open its eyes, but because of Xia Jiang's continuous efforts, it is forcibly awakened, so that before its body is completed, Lingzhi will be awakened first. That's right, this is the spirit beast, the reason why they are powerful is that before they are born, their souls are already sound, and they begin to be familiar with the relationship between spiritual power and the world.
But now, because of this, there is an awkward situation, the little ant barely opens his eyes, and his brain begins to start gradually, but he can only stare blankly at his father in front of him, trying to communicate with the other party, or just getting the other person's attention can't do it.
After trying hard for a while, it still couldn't do it, and finally, it remembered that it could use guò spiritual power!
So, instead of relying on his body organs, he concentrated on staring at the food in front of him, and sent out a thought to pass on: "Daddy, Daddy, wake up......"
Xia Jiang was humming a "lullaby", and suddenly felt a foreign spiritual power transmitted, and he was immediately startled, instinctively he was ready to defend, after all, his current cultivation is a spiritual cultivator, and he is still very sensitive to spiritual power, but because the distance is so close, he has no time to defend at all, so he was invaded by this spiritual power.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a signal of thought.
However, Xia Jiang also understood this idea at once, and someone was shouting "Dad"?
You must know that even Xia Jiang himself is not sure about the name of his father in this world, whether there is such a thing as "father", so this belongs to a more affectionate title for his father in Xia Jiang's heart.
Thinking of this, he quickly opened his eyes, looked around, and then raised his head sharply, and he saw a scene in front of him that would definitely surprise him.
The huge ant spirit beast was looking at him with its eyes wide open at the moment.
Although his eyes couldn't express his heart yet, the stunned look, combined with the thoughts he had just received, it was obvious that this ant spirit beast had really regarded him as its parents!
Xia Jiang couldn't help crying and laughing at this time, but he couldn't express it, he felt that he was really like a parent now, he had to be careful, and he couldn't make any strange expressions and movements, so as not to confuse the child.
Thinking of this, he knew that things still couldn't be rushed, and he had to take his time, so he said: "Good baby, you still need to rest more, so that you can thrive, come, close your eyes, and continue to sleep......"
With an incomparably gentle and loving thought, Xia Jiang caressed the other party with his spiritual power, and coupled with the environment created by the spiritual power enchantment, the surroundings became more comfortable.
It was also because he finally heard the reaction of the things in his eyes, and the little ant was immediately happy, and because he had just woken up, he was tired of using spiritual power to transmit his thoughts for so long, so he immediately closed his eyes obediently and began to fall asleep.
It was also when the spirit beast entered the state of sleep, Xia Jiang became excited, it really paid off, and finally succeeded in raising the spirit beast, and then he only needed his continuous assistance to help it grow physically, and at the same time assist it to become familiar with the world as soon as possible, and understand the human beings in this world.
Then, Xia Jiang didn't continue to cultivate, after all, now his cultivation of the Demon Devouring Sword Technique had also reached a small bottleneck, and the spiritual cultivator realm had just stabilized, and no matter how much progress he made, it was not such a matter of meditation.
By the way, I checked on everyone, and found that there was no progress in their current cultivation, so they simply went out immediately and headed east.
At this moment, in the eastern region, there is a mercenary qualification certification office, where many people are lined up, the team is indecisive, and the tail is thrown into a big "S" shape.
"Hey, have you heard, in a few months, at the mercenary conference, some big forces will recruit new people!"
"Of course, that's the ninth largest mercenary group in the legendary mercenary world, they've found a huge treasure, and now they urgently need new people to join ......" One person hurriedly agreed.
"Really, that would be great, and we might even have a chance to catch up!" a girl suddenly became excited.
"We, little sister, don't be too naïve, it's a question of whether we can get the qualification for trial mercenaries now, and even if we get the qualifications, it won't happen overnight to become a real mercenary......" A young man who looked like a very experienced boy suddenly said with the corners of his mouth floating.
The girl obviously didn't expect so much, and when she heard him say it, she was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other party suspiciously: "What kind of trial, isn't it possible to become a mercenary if you apply successfully?"
But this girl was obviously too naïve, and at this time, she only looked at a young uncle in his thirties and glanced at them with a smile, and said, "Hehe, one by one, the cultivators have just reached the early stage of cultivation, and they dare to think about entering the big team, it's really ...... Cute!"
