"After ten days of running around, I think our brothers are all tired. Moreover, we don't have much supplies left in our spatial belts. Thus, I think we should leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range early tomorrow morning and return to Wake City. After that, we can rest for a few days and relax. Does anyone have any objections?" Captain Kendall said.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Jianchen. Dier directly said, "Jianchen, you should make the decision on this matter."
Jianchen added branches to the fire as he said, "Captain Kendall can make the decision. I don't mind."
Hearing this, Kendall hesitated again before sweeping his gaze over everyone. "Since little brother Jianchen doesn't have any objections, then let's leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range tomorrow morning and return to Wake City to rest for a few days. Moreover, Jianchen has been fighting Class 3 Magical Beasts nonstop these past few days. His body should be a bit tired." There was a rare trace of reluctance in Kendall's voice. Class 3 Magical Beasts were something the Flame Mercenary Group normally had to consider their own strength before even provoking them. However, they had been following behind Jianchen for the past few days. Just picking up Class 3 Magical Beasts' corpses was enough to make their hands go soft. This kind of situation was definitely an incomparably happy thing for everyone in the Flame Mercenary Group. If conditions permitted, everyone in the Flame Mercenary Group really hoped that they could stay here for a few more days.
However, they were also very clear that Jianchen had been fighting Class 3 Magical Beasts nonstop for the past few days. Even though he hadn't suffered any injuries, it was inevitable that his body and mind would be tired. He still needed time to rest and properly adjust his body's condition.
"When we return, the first thing we have to do is get rid of the corpses in our space belts. The longer these things are stored, the less fresh they will be. When that time comes, their value will greatly decrease." Xiao Dao muttered as he touched the space belt around his waist.
Following Xiao Dao's actions, everyone subconsciously reached out to touch the space belts around their waists. Right now, there were one or two or even three or four smaller Class 3 Magical Beasts' corpses in their space belts. The items in their space belts had all been gathered in Kendall's hands. After all, with their wealth, they didn't have any valuable items on them.
Just at this moment, a fragrant smell wafted out from the fire. A few large pieces of Magical Beast meat on the rack had already turned golden. Drops of fat were being squeezed out of the meat and continuously dripped into the fire below, making sizzling sounds.
Smelling this thick fragrance, everyone's appetite was greatly aroused. Some people's stomachs even began to rumble.
Suddenly, Jian Chen's ears twitched slightly. He immediately turned around, but as soon as he turned around, a tiny, beast-like figure shot towards him from the darkness in the distance. Jian Chen only felt his vision blur as the tiny figure approached him.
"Everyone be careful!" Jianchen roared. He didn't have time to see what kind of Magical Beast that small body was. His hands abruptly pushed against the ground, and his body that was sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly jumped up. In the air, the silver-white Light Wind Sword appeared in Jianchen's right hand.
The rest of the Raging Flame Mercenaries weren't slow either. Almost as soon as they heard Jianchen's roar, everyone stood up from the ground and took out their Saint Weapons, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Jianchen's body somersaulted a few times in the air before landing firmly on the ground three meters away. His eyes were fixed on the burning bonfire. Beside the bonfire, there was actually a small beast about a foot long.
The small beast looked very cute. Its body of pure golden fur seemed to emit a faint glow under the light of the bonfire. The small beast's eyes were fixed on the bonfire, emitting a rich aroma of Magical Beast meat. Its small tongue was constantly sticking out of its mouth, licking its lips. Its two front paws were impatiently moving in place, as if it couldn't wait any longer.
Looking at the small beast in front of him, Jianchen immediately let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the small beast's current appearance, it was clearly attracted by the aroma of the Magical Beast meat.
"Jianchen, what's going on?" At this time, Captain Kendall's voice sounded. Ever since he'd heard Jianchen's roar, he'd immediately become vigilant. However, after observing the surroundings, he didn't discover anything.
Jianchen smiled bitterly, "Nothing, it's just that this thing suddenly ran out." As he spoke, Jianchen pointed at the small beast standing in front of the bonfire.
Hearing this, everyone's gazes followed the direction Jianchen was pointing at. Only now did they discover that a small beast had appeared in front of the bonfire at some unknown time.
"This is …" Everyone looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Captain Kendall took a few steps forward and bent down slightly. He stared at the small beast in front of him and sized it up. Afterwards, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes as he said, "It looks like this should be the cub of a Magical Beast. Jianchen, can you tell the origin of this small beast and what breed it is?"
Jianchen slowly walked in front of the small beast and slowly squatted down to size it up. However, the small beast in front of him wasn't the slightest bit afraid of the strangers around it. It didn't even look at them. Its pair of small eyes only stared at the Magical Beast meat roasting on the bonfire. It wasn't clear whether it was because it wasn't afraid of these people at all or because it was too young, but it didn't feel any fear at all.
Seeing the small beast like this, Jianchen couldn't help but smile. He reached out and picked up a wooden stick with a large piece of Magical Beast meat stuck on it. He tore off a piece of golden roasted meat and sniffed it a few times.
"Aooo!" "Aooo!" "Aooo!"
The small beast's eyes stared closely at the piece of Magical Beast meat that Jianchen tore off. Its four hooves impatiently stomped on the ground. In the end, it actually stood up on its hind legs and kept making "Aooo!" sounds. Saliva was already dripping from the corner of its mouth.
Seeing that the small beast wanted to eat this piece of meat so much, Jianchen no longer continued to tempt the small beast. He directly tore off the piece of Magical Beast meat and put it in the small beast's mouth. The small beast immediately stretched out two front paws and tightly hugged the Magical Beast meat. Then it was not afraid of the heat and directly ate it.
Jianchen stretched out a hand and directly picked up the small beast. He held it in front of his eyes and carefully looked at it. The small beast didn't seem to realize that it had been picked up by others. It was still eating the Magical Beast meat that it was holding in front of its paws.
Staring at the small beast for a while, Jianchen's face gradually became interesting. Finally, his face gradually showed a trace of excitement.
"Jianchen, you know the origin of this cub. What kind of species is it?" Looking at the expression on Jianchen's face, Chang Ningfeng couldn't help but ask.
Jianchen slowly put down the small beast. With a somewhat excited voice, he said, "If I've guessed correctly, this should be the cub of the Class 5 Golden Tiger King."
"What? The cub of the Class 5 Golden Tiger King? Jianchen, are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Kabbdes covered his mouth. His voice was filled with unconcealable shock. As for the others, their faces were also filled with shock and disbelief.
Although the cub of the Class 5 Golden Tiger King wasn't very strong when it was young, this kind of magical beast was blessed by the heavens. After reaching adulthood, it would directly possess the strength of an Earth Saint Master. It wouldn't encounter any obstacles along the way. It could be said that it would be smooth sailing. Moreover, it would have a lot of room for improvement in the future. It wasn't like other magical beasts. After reaching adulthood, they would have to go through a long period of cultivation to increase their strength step by step. Whether they could cultivate to the level of a Class 5 Magical Beast was still unknown.
Jianchen stared at the little beast that was eating with relish. He said, "It shouldn't be wrong." In the library of Kargath Academy, Jianchen had read quite a lot about magical beasts. As a result, Jianchen was extremely familiar with many species of magical beasts on the Tian Yuan Continent. The most eye-catching part of the Golden Tiger King was its golden fur and the word 'King' on its head. Coupled with the cub's size, Jianchen was able to confirm the origins of the cub with a single glance.
The people of the Flame Mercenaries all sucked in a deep breath. At that moment, all of their hearts began to thump uncontrollably. Even though the cub of a Class 5 Magical Beast was nowhere near Class 5 and needed a certain amount of time to mature, it was still far more valuable than a mature Class 5 Magical Beast.
This was because a mature Class 5 Magical Beast already possessed a certain amount of intelligence. They would rather die than submit to a human and become a human's pet or mount. As a result, taming a mature magical beast was extremely difficult. However, a cub was different. As a cub's intelligence had not matured yet, taming it was extremely easy. It was also extremely easy to nurture its emotions. Once a cub of a Class 5 Magical Beast was tamed from a young age, not only would it possess the strength of a Class 5 Magical Beast by the time it reached adulthood, but it would also have a lot of room for growth. It was extremely possible for it to reach Class 6 or even Class 7.
Most importantly, at that time, the mature magical beast would have already developed deep feelings for the human that fed it. As a result, it would be possible to obtain a powerful magical beast without spending too much effort. Once a magical beast recognized a master, its loyalty would be extremely high. It would never harbor any thoughts of betrayal in its entire life. As a result, a cub of a Class 5 Magical Beast was basically a priceless existence on the market. If a cub of a Class 5 Magical Beast suddenly appeared somewhere, there would definitely be quite a few powerful organisations fighting over it.
"I never thought that we would actually find a cub of a Class 5 Magical Beast, and it's one that delivered itself to us. Our luck is just too good," Xiao Dao said excitedly.
"Hehe, if I were to sell this fifth-order cub, I wonder how much I would be able to get." Hu Po's face was also filled with excitement. He looked at the Golden Furred Tiger King cub as if he was looking at a glittering mountain of gold.
