Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 794 - 755: Useless
The demon beast with a human face and a bull’s body flicked its tail at the words, sending ripples through the water beneath its hooves.
Everything in the room began to undergo strange changes, tables and chairs were simplified into lines, and the house slowly disappeared, leaving only a skeletal framework.
The whole world turned into a plane, with black, gray, and pure white lines interwoven. In the far distance, a flicker of red light glimmered, and a faint, ethereal wail of a little demon beast echoed through the void.
"Be careful. If you misstep, I won’t be affected, but if you lose your life, no one can save your beloved child."
Chu Huai’an sat steadily on its shoulder, leisurely picking his nails, and said cynically, "I am kind-hearted and spent a fortune to buy you from the Beast Taming Sect. Aside from leading the way daily, what more do you mother and child need to do?
And yet you’re still unsatisfied! I advise you to learn when to be grateful. The world today is not what it once was, with demon beasts being slaughtered everywhere in the wilderness. Without awakening intelligence to become a demon cultivator, you were lowly creatures to begin with!
If it weren’t for a kind-hearted elder in your clan who found a good place for you undeserving offshoots by sending you to the Beast Taming Sect to become useful spirit pets, would you have survived until now?"
He let out a cold snort, flicked his long fingernail, and took out a small copper mirror from his storage bag, examining his wrinkled face and stroking the scar, "Tell me, can a Youthful Appearance Pill make me regain my youthful looks?
Ideally, it can turn back time and remove the scar as well. You’ve never seen me in my youth; the term ’handsome young man’ was no exaggeration!"
After a pause, he muttered to himself, "The world today is truly degenerating with corrupted hearts, even the heavenly materials and earthly treasures are in severe shortage.
An esteemed cultivator like me seeking a Youthful Appearance Pill finds no path. Wasted so many years, doing good and accumulating virtue meaningless, still can’t obtain the pill, letting time age away.
What’s the prospect for you lowly demon beasts, besides finding a good master like me to protect you? Meeting me is a blessing; with other beast tamers, hah, it would either be beatings or scoldings..."
The not-so-massive demon beast remained silent throughout, having to suppress its demonic nature and strive to follow orders.
Space traversal has never been an easy feat; even with innate racial talents, how powerful can a demon beast that can’t evolve into a demon cultivator be?
A single misstep, failing to walk in adequate space, and it would be torn apart alive.
The beast tamer, being a cultivator, whether having other means or facing death, it didn’t know.
But survival instincts told it, it would die.
Unawakened demon beasts can be tamed through training; once taken by a beast tamer, chances of controlling their destiny are few.
After a brief traverse, they finally reached the red light, and the sound of mooing from the little demon beast drew near, gathering the water waves under its hooves.
The surrounding scene gradually unfolded, an endless sea of yellow sand with dry hot winds blowing across.
In the air, waves rippled, and a small demon beast with a human face and bull body, left as a marker, burst out from a space crevice, hoarsely begging for water.
"Today I’ll show some mercy; you mother and child go back and rest." Chu Huai’an opened the bag at his waist, giving it a shake.
The specially crafted spirit beast bags for beast tamers had larger spaces to hold tamed demon beasts, and some advanced spirit beast bags even had small inner worlds, where the demon beasts could live comfortably.
His was quite ordinary, capable of holding no more than ten demon beasts simultaneously, with newly entered ones only able to rest but no extra space to move around, nor any spiritual energy to absorb for cultivation.
However, being stored in a spirit beast bag can shield them from scorching heat, and they can drink some water to rest, hence both the large and small demon beasts quickly jumped in.
"It’s so hot!" Chu Huai’an gathered up the spirit beast bag, took out a cane from the storage bag, and pretended to stagger as he started patrolling the chaotic spatial flow spots with great frequency.
He most enjoyed pretending to be weak to catch the strong off guard.
Especially the elderly appearance, it easily lowered the vigilance of any accidentally entering cultivators.
If their realm was lower than his, he’d kill them outright and loot everything; if higher, he’d pretend to guide them until their spiritual power was exhausted, then he’d strike.
As for in the distant past, those foolish acts of happenstance, displaying extreme benevolence to let someone leave with treasures found in the desert, he would no longer repeat.
Good deeds never brought benefits; evil deeds bore no retribution. Why let others lay claim to treasures that were solely his own?
"Strange, no one’s intruded, so why’s my right eyelid twitching?" After a round, he noticed the white bones were the same as before, and the scorching wind continued to blow, showing no sign of anyone having been here.
Chu Huai’an summoned the demon beast again, riding it to sneak around the spatial crevice, and instantly was filled with fury, "Where’s my Cloud Beast? For heaven’s sake... they’ve all run off?"
It was a new breed purchased at great expense from the Beast Taming Sect, specifically modified to guard this desert.
Clearly, they’d bred hundreds of them; how could they suddenly all be gone?
Killed? No, no way!
The thought flashed through his mind only to be dismissed immediately, because to kill all the Cloud Beasts he had specially bred would require a powerhouse of the Mahayana Realm or higher.
Those with such powers in the wilderness were busy pursuing their paths; who had the leisure to explore small spatial flows?
So, more likely, the numbers had grown too large to control, and they simply ran away!
