The black panther growled lowly and spoke angrily through acoustics, "I'm not a big kitty …"
"Did I give you face?"
With a flick of his wrist, Jiang He slapped the back of his Dragon-Slaying Saber directly on the black panther's face. With a dull thud, the black panther was sent flying and slammed heavily into a cliff beside a mountain stream. The mountain stream quaked and the cliff cracked, with boulders rolling all over the ground.
The black panther howled in pain and spat out another mouthful of blood. It then turned around and darted into the mountain forest, intent on escaping, but Jiang He caught up to it before it could get far, who caught it and beat it up once again.
Its speed, which it was most proud of, was a little lacking against Jiang He's Blind Princess's Eight Practices.
The black panther was really frightened by the beating, and quickly spoke to Jiang He through acoustics, "I'm just reminding you that I'm not a kitty …"
It was a little upset.
I'm just a little unhappy with being called a 'big kitty', which was why I growled in displeasure. Why did you beat me up?
"How dare you call yourself a king in front of me?"
Jiang He sneered, the third rule of the Four Precepts of Physical Beast-Taming appearing in his mind —
It was always the Ferals' fault!
But what should he do when the Ferals were wrong?
One word: beat!
…
Minutes later, the black panther was lying on the ground, its eyes lifeless as it stared at the night sky in despair.
I can't beat it, and I can't escape.
What else can I do?
Mu Wanqiu appeared puzzled and asked, "Didn't you tame the black panther already, Jiang He? Why did you beat it up? "
Pausing, she then added, "It looks quite pitiful."
Mu Wanqiu knew that 'pitiful' was not the right word to describe a Feral, but that word came to her mind involuntarily when she saw the black panther lying on the ground.
Jiang He smiled and explained, "That's how beast taming is. You have to beat them often, and they won't listen unless you beat them."
"…"
Mu Wanqiu was a little speechless.
Though she had never seen how beast tamers tamed beasts with her own eyes, according to the research of the Superpower Research Department … Extraordinary Awakened who had awakened the ability of 'beast taming' could establish a special connection with Ferals, and then use their spirit to establish a special connection to control them.
Could it be that Jiang He was right, and his beast taming method was a little special?
In any case, he had already captured and 'tamed' a Class-Seven Direbeast alive, and after taming two more Class-Six Direbeasts, the goal of this trip would be achieved.
As he instructed Mu Wanqiu to clean the barbecue tools, Jiang He smiled. "Big kitty, can you calm down and talk to me now?"
The black panther nodded hurriedly.
Jiang He asked, "What actually happened at Mount Helan? Rumor has it that a treasure is about to appear. Is it true? I heard that there are many mutant plants in the mountains? "
The black panther told Jiang He everything he knew, not daring to hold anything back.
"A lot of mutated plants?"
"Black wood ear, purple mushroom?"
"There's a big willow tree that eats people?"
Jiang He frowned. A man-eating willow tree?
Remembering the information he read about floral spirits on the Warrior Home forum, Jiang He could not help feeling invigorated. "Could this willow tree have gained sentience?"
From Jiang He's point of view, wasn't floral spirits gaining sentience the same as becoming sentient?
As for the effects of floral spirits, he did not pay much attention to them. Things like prolonging lifespan, strengthening cultivation, and qi were of little value, and any random fruit or vegetable he planted in his yard would have such effects.
"Willow tree, willow tree …"
"I seem to remember a willow tree called the Willow God or something in a certain novel. It reigned over the ages and was unbelievably powerful, but I wonder if I could plant it in my yard."
Jiang He decided to give it a try.
According to the black panther, the willow tree was very powerful and might have reached rank-nine. Reasonably speaking, his farm's level was too low to plant rank-nine trees … but that was for Ferals and humans.
"A willow tree is a tree no matter how powerful it is. Is there any yard that can't plant trees?"
Jiang He rose to his feet and greeted Mu Wanqiu, saying, "I heard from the black panther that there's a tree in the mountains that's quite mystical. You know that I like farming and tinkering with weird things, so I'm going to give it a try and see if I could transplant it there."
"I'll go too!"
Mu Wanqiu, who had been crouching beside the stream and washing the barbecue tools, promptly rose to her feet.
"Where are you going?"
Jiang He was a little speechless. "Look at the things you're washing. They're not even clean. Didn't you put some detergent in my bag?"
"Just stay here and don't run around. I'll be right back."
"You're quite strong. I've just asked the black panther, and there aren't any powerful Ferals around here. You should be fine as long as you don't run around."
Jiang He felt as if he had become a father and had to worry about everything. After taking a few steps, he could not help turning back and saying, "I still have peanuts and sunflower seeds in my bag if you're bored. I remember I bought some potato chips and spicy potato chips yesterday, so they should be in there too."
"…"
Mu Wanqiu appeared stunned. What else did you not buy?
After taking a few more steps, Jiang He glanced at the black panther which was still sprawled on the ground and flatly said, "What? Are you waiting for me to leave so you can slip away? "
The black panther shuddered, and promptly struggled to get up and follow Jiang He.
It had been beaten quite badly just now, and it felt as if several of its bones had been broken … it did not feel much when it was lying on the ground, but its body was already shaking after just a kilometer, and it was in so much pain that it could not move.
The black panther could not help remembering how Jiang He had stuck something in its mouth when it was almost dead, and its grievous wounds healed in no time at all.
"Bro …"
"Could you stick it in me again?"
"Hmmm?"
Jiang He was blue with shock. Are you trying to be a pervert again?
Still, it was the first pet he had tamed, and it would be a pity to let it die. Hence, he promptly took out the eggplant and broke it in half.
After eating, the black panther felt its wounds rapidly healing, and even its broken bones were reconnecting. Still, it was very shocked — what was that big, thick thing?
Being a panther that had grown up on Mount Helan, it had never seen an eggplant before.
Still, it felt a little fondness towards Jiang He, though it was mostly fear. It was too scary to start a fight at the slightest disagreement!
It then spoke to Jiang He through acoustics, "Bro, that willow tree is very frightening. Two powerful humans had come to the mountain just now, and they were no match for it even if they worked together …"
"Hmmm?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched and he asked, "Powerful humans? How powerful? "
In his heart, however, he began to worry. "According to Hei Bao, those two are obviously here for the big willow tree. If they suddenly appear while I'm dealing with the big willow tree, wouldn't that be terrible?"
Such a plot …
Jiang He was all too familiar with it.
When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman reaps the spoils. He must not let them take advantage of the situation.
After some thought, Jiang He asked, "Where are those two humans now?"
He decided to meet them first, and it would be best if he could persuade them to leave Mount Helan.
