"Jiang He …"
"You …"
"Are you really a beast tamer?"
In the Helan Mountains, beside a small stream.
Mu Wanqiu was looking weirdly at Jiang He.
Right now, Jiang He's hands were covered in blood, and beneath his feet was the corpse of a rank-four Feral Ox.
They ran into the Feral Ox just minutes after they entered the mountain. Delighted, Jiang He was about to jump out and tame the beast, while Mu Wanqiu was even a little expectant to see how Jiang He would use his beast taming ability.
Beast taming was a 'special' Awakened ability that was rare, and Mu Wanqiu had never personally witnessed how beast tamers tamed beasts up close.
And yet …
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Nonetheless, Jiang He leapt out and greeted the bull, which promptly launched a frenzied attack on Jiang He, and then …
It was killed by Jiang He.
Jiang He was crouching beside the creek, washing the blood off his hands as he explained, "Of course I'm a beast tamer. There's no doubt about that."
"I remember telling you before that my beast taming method is a little special, and there would be a higher percentage of injuries. Still, you don't have to worry — Mount Helan is so vast that there would definitely be enough Ferals."
Mu Wanqiu forced a smile.
There would definitely be enough Ferals?
What does that mean?
Are you going to kill every Feral on Mount Helan?
She glanced at Jiang He, her eyes twitching as she quickly said, "Jiang He, there might be Ferals lurking in the creek as well, and the blood on your hands would attract …"
But before she could finish, there was a splash from the creek, and in the next split second, a giant fish that was over a meter long suddenly appeared out of the water and bit Jiang He's hand.
Crack.
A soft, crisp sound echoed.
"Eh?"
Jiang He exclaimed in delight, "Am I that lucky? A fish bites just by washing my hands?"
He pulled his hand back, but the fish refused to let go, which was why he brought it ashore.
Still, would a rank-two fish be able to bite Jiang He who had mastered Indestructible Diamond be able to do so? Even if Jiang He did not cast Indestructible Diamond and did not have Nature Qi to protect his body, his physique alone …
He had already broken a few of the fish's teeth.
Throwing the fish to the ground, Jiang He went up and punched it twice in the head without another word.
The fish twitched a few times before losing its breath.
"…"
Jiang He was a little annoyed and said, "I made a mistake, but that fish is still rank-two. How did I kill it with two punches?"
Hehe.
Mu Wanqiu said nothing.
Whipping out his phone for a look, Jiang He exclaimed, "Time flies. I feel like it's only been a few minutes since we entered the mountain, and it's already seven? Why don't we have dinner first? "
But before Mu Wanqiu could say anything, Jiang He said, "This place isn't too far from the parking lot. Sit here and wait for me — I'll move the stuff."
He executed Blind Princess's Eight Practices and flew away.
To Jiang He, the steep mountain forest was no different from walking on flat ground.
Jiang He returned in just over twenty minutes.
In one breath, he carried the tent, the barbecue rack, the barbecue ingredients, and all the other things into the mountain.
Mu Wanqiu could not help saying, "Jiang He, it is very dangerous to spend the night in the wildlands, and Wang Meng himself mentioned that Mount Helan is very unstable. Shouldn't we search for Ferals first, tame them and return as soon as possible?"
"The sun is about to set and it would be dark soon. Where would we find Ferals in the middle of the night?"
Jiang He said without looking up as he assembled the tent according to the instruction manual. "Moreover, Ferals are nocturnal. Logically speaking, there would be more Ferals at night, and we wouldn't have to search for them — they would come to us on their own."
After setting up the tent in no time, Jiang He began to fiddle with the barbecue rack.
He had bought several boxes of charcoal when he bought the grill rack, and had brought all of them with him.
After putting away the charcoal, Jiang He glared at Mu Wanqiu and said in disdain, "What are you standing there for? Come and give me a hand … why are women so lazy nowadays? "
"You …"
Mu Wanqiu clenched her teeth in frustration.
Jiang He pointed nonchalantly.
Whoosh.
The charcoal was ignited as the flames burned.
Jiang He's eyes lit up and he said, "It seems that bringing a fire-type Awakened on a trip to the wildlands is a good thing … Mu Wanqiu, do you know how to clean fish? That big fish looks good to me, and it must have evolved from a grass carp. Clean it up, and we'll roast it later. "
Meanwhile, Jiang He walked up to the Daemon Bull.
Drawing out the golden cleaver he carried with him, he gently cut …
Whoosh.
The bull's hide was cut open, and with a pull of the cleaver, Jiang He cut off a piece of tendon.
There was a creek nearby, and after casually washing the beef a few times, Jiang He took out a small wooden chopping board from the pile of things he had prepared, and cut the meat into small pieces.
Mu Wanqiu was left dumbstruck.
'You even brought a cleaver and a chopping board???'
Even if it was a picnic, you wouldn't bring as many things as you, would you?
Jiang He glanced at Mu Wanqiu, at a loss for words. "What are you spacing out for? Go clean the fish!"
"I …"
Mu Wanqiu said meekly, "I don't know how to clean it."
Amused, Jiang He said, "Girls from big families like you are so troublesome. You can't even clean a fish … but you should know how to skewer meat, right? The barbecue skewers are in the bag, and remember to grease them after you're done. The oil is in the bag too. "
He walked up, the cleaver in his hand dancing as he removed all the scales from the fish in a few strokes.
With a light cut, the meter-long fish was directly cut in two, and he washed it in the creek before taking it out.
"We have limited resources, so let's be particular. Actually, if you want to grill the fish, you should first sprinkle seasoning, sesame oil, and marinate it for a few hours before it tastes good."
Jiang He taught Mu Wanqiu the basics of cooking.
A little disdainful.
Who would want a woman who doesn't even know how to cook?
Even as he grilled the fish, Jiang He turned to find Mu Wanqiu staring at him blankly with a crimson face, and could not help scowling. "What are you doing? Did you do something unhealthy to me in your mind?"
"Hmph. Who cares?"
Mu Wanqiu snorted coldly, her face even redder.
Could a woman's words be trusted?
Still, he decided not to bicker with her since Mu Wanqiu was quite pretty, and his gaze shifted as he said, "Come over here. A fish has taken the bait."
By then, the fish was already seventy percent done.
The thick aroma of fish spread in the night.
The Ferals with a keen sense of smell were all rushing towards that direction.
"Rawr!"
A roar echoed, and a rustling sound could be heard in the mountain forests. The many Ferals were all forced back, vanishing into the night like a tide.
A black panther had appeared in the mountain forests.
It was around three times the size of an average panther and had a graceful form. Leaping over dozens of meters with a single leap, it landed on a boulder and looked down at the mountain creek below, where a fire was shining.
The aroma was coming from there.
The black panther was about to move when its ears twitched and it promptly turned to look to the side, its intelligent eyes showing … doubt.
It seemed that something had vanished in a flash in the mountain forests?
Still, it could not find anything even after searching for half a day.
The black panther leapt off the boulder, but its body was still in the air when a figure darted towards it. The silhouette of two great suns hung behind that person, who was laughing out loud and slapping out with his palm. The silhouette of a dragon soared over his palm, its roar quaking the air.
Pow!
The black panther was sent flying away by the slap.
Then, a voice spoke beside its ear.
"Big kitty."
"Let's make a deal. How about you be my pet?"
Jiang He darted towards it, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind …
"I think I know why my beast-taming had failed before!"
"Damn it, I started fighting as soon as I saw them, and killed them in just a few blows … I didn't even say I wanted to keep them as pets!"
Physical beast-taming …
It was flawed.
It had to be changed!
