Actually, if it was any other 2-star beast tamer who said such words, he wouldn't have gotten angry.
More importantly... the expression of the fellow who spoke just now was simply infuriating. It was as though one would suffer if one didn't listen to the advice of an old man. Furthermore, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes...
To think that a 4-star pinnacle beast tamer like him would be looked down upon by a little fellow... Disdain your head!
This Demon Cinque Beast possesses the Dragon Bloodline, so it is normal for it to be difficult to tame. Do you think that I want to use force... Haven't I already exhausted all of my methods?
Hmph, conceited and arrogant!
I really can't understand why Master Sai would befriend such a person.
"Ignore them, hurry up and roast it. The more fragrant it is, the better!"
Suppressing the rage in his chest, Hall Master Han instructed.
"Yes!" Elder Hu and the others nodded their heads and increased the intensity of the fire. In an instant, the fragrance of the Demon Cinque Beast grew even more concentrated.
...
While Zhang Xuan was on the verge of exploding from anger, the group stopped several hundred meters away.
"Let's do it here!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Zhang Shi..." Everyone turned to look at Zhang Shi doubtfully.
They had faith in Zhang shi's capabilities. Since he had said that something had happened, there was no way he would lie about it.
"Is Zhang Shi worried about a beast stampede?"
Master Sai suddenly thought of something and frowned. "The aroma of the Deerhorde Beast meat permeates the surroundings. It is a medicinal warehouse coveted by all spirit beasts. Once it is cooked, it is likely that countless spirit beasts will be alarmed... Just that... if it really is a beast stampede, it shouldn't matter how far we hide, right?"
If it really was a beast stampede, all living beings would be torn apart on the spot. Even if one were to hide several kilometers away, it would still be difficult to escape.
"Indeed?"
Only then did everyone realize what was going on.
Just like Master Sai, they were guessing that Zhang Shi was worried about a beast stampede. There were historical records of such a situation occurring in the Gentle Speech Ridge.
Given how concentrated the aroma of the Deerhorde Beast meat was, it was normal for spirit beasts to be attracted. If a beast stampede really appeared, they should hide as far as possible. Furthermore, weren't they courting death by staying here?
"Beast stampede? I can't believe you came up with this idea! "
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan realized what everyone was thinking. With a speechless expression, he said, "Even you are able to tell that the aroma of the Deerhorde Beast's meat would attract the attention of other spirit beasts. How could the most formidable beast tamer of the Beast Hall possibly be unaware of it?"
"This …"
Blinking their eyes, everyone's faces turned red.
Indeed. Even amateurs like them were able to see through it. As the head of the Beast Hall, how could Han Chong not have noticed it as well?
As a 4-star pinnacle beast tamer, he had come into contact with savage beasts for his entire life. Even if the Demon Cinque Beast didn't agree to it, he was still able to predict it in advance and come up with a solution to deal with it. If a beast stampede were to occur, he would have long prepared for it.
"Don't worry, that won't happen!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Why?" Zhao Feiwu was perplexed.
Given how fragrant the deer meat was, even humans like them could not resist it, how could spirit beasts resist it?
Seeing the intelligent 'gongzi' asking such a question, Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes. "Even if the meat of the Deerhorde Beast is fragrant, how far can it travel?"
"This …" Zhao Feiwu was speechless.
The meat was fragrant, but at this point, the smell wasn't as strong anymore. If they were to retreat another few hundred meters, they probably wouldn't be able to smell it anymore. Even if spirit beasts had better senses than humans, it was impossible for them to smell something several thousand meters away.
"Besides, what kind of place is this? This is the territory of the Demon Cinque Beast. Even if other savage beasts and spirit beasts were to smell it, would they dare to approach it? "Zhang Xuan continued.
"Ah …" Zhao Feiwu felt awkward.
Spirit beasts and savage beasts had their own territories. The weaker ones didn't dare to approach the territory of the stronger ones. If they were to approach it, there was a high chance that they would be killed as prey. The Demon Cinque Beast was famous throughout the entire Kingdom Alliance, and it could be considered as the strongest spirit beast in the entire Nine Folds Mountain. Given that it had lived here for many years, how could there be any other beasts in the vicinity?
Wasn't that courting death?
"If I'm not wrong, there shouldn't be any other spirit beasts within ten kilometers of the Demon Cinque Beast's territory. No matter how fragrant the Deerhorde Beast is, it's impossible for it to rouse the spirit beasts ten kilometers away!"
Zhang Xuan explained.
"Ten kilometers?" Only then did everyone come to a realization.
They had descended from two kilometers away, and along the way, they didn't see any spirit beasts. Even if they did see some footprints, they were extremely sparse. Most likely, they were just passing by, and upon smelling the scent left behind by the Demon Cinque Beast, they immediately fled in fright.
Otherwise, with such a large group of people, how could there not be any spirit beasts looking for trouble?
No matter how fragrant the Deerhorde Beast was, it was impossible for its scent to travel ten kilometers away. Besides, even if it did, would other spirit beasts dare to approach it?
After all, this was the nest of the strongest spirit beast in the Nine Folds Mountain!
It was no wonder why Hall Master Han was so fearless. It turned out that he knew that it was impossible for a beast stampede to occur.
"If that isn't a beast stampede … what is it?"
Returning to the original topic, everyone turned their gazes over once more.
"We'll know soon enough!" Zhang Xuan didn't bother explaining.
"If there's any danger, I beseech Zhang Shi to save Hall Master Han. It's just that he doesn't know of your capabilities, that's why he was careless. In truth, he isn't a bad person …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan wasn't willing to speak, the crowd didn't dare to pursue the matter. Thus, Master Sai said awkwardly.
No matter what, Hall Master Han was his friend. If they were to meet with danger, it would be immoral for him to avoid it first.
"Un. If that happens, I'll make a move. However, I'm afraid that they might be displeased if I make a move!" Chuckling, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows suddenly shot up. "Let's continue watching. The change is about to begin!"
Hearing those words, everyone turned their gazes to the front.
At this moment, the meat of the Deerhorde Beast was about to be cooked, and the aroma was getting more and more intense.
Most of the elders were proficient in wilderness survival, so they had brought plenty of seasonings with them. Even though it was a hasty barbecue, it didn't pale in comparison to the formidable chefs of Honghai City. Not only was the meat delicious, the color was superb as well.
"Brother Demon Cinque, do you smell it? Become my tamed beast, this is yours. Besides, you're just accompanying me. Once my lifespan comes to an end, I'll regain my freedom. What's there to be conflicted about? "
Seeing that the aroma had already seeped into the formation, Hall Master Han continued, "Hurry up and make your decision. If you hesitate any longer, we might end up devouring the Deerhorde Beast. By then, it would be too late for you to make your decision! I believe that you should know how valuable this beast is. There's only one of it in the entire Nine Folds Mountain, and if you miss it, you'll regret it for life! "
It must be said that Hall Master Han's words were indeed convincing. If it was any other spirit beast, they would have long given in. However, the Demon Cinque Beast in the mirror had its eyes tightly shut. It didn't struggle or resist, as though it was asleep.
"When did the Demon Cinque Beast become so amiable?"
Zhao Feiwu also noticed the problem.
According to the legends of the League of Nations, this fellow was extremely ferocious. Back then, someone had tried to trap it in a formation, but it was a pity that its stamina seemed to be boundless. Soon, the spirit stones in the formation were depleted, and it broke out of the formation!
Formations could be sustained by absorbing spiritual energy from the world or by using spirit stones. The former required a long period of accumulation. As for the latter, as long as there were sufficient spirit stones, there was no need to absorb spiritual energy.
Regardless of which it was, it required a huge supply of energy. Formations weren't perpetual motion machines, and it would consume a huge amount of energy if it were to be rammed continuously. Once the spirit stones in the formation were depleted, even if one didn't know how to break the formation, it would still crumble.
This was precisely the reason why there was a time limit of two hours in the Formation Master Guild Corridor.
If one didn't do so, it wouldn't be too dangerous for one to encounter a Confinement Formation. Once the formation was activated, it would only be a matter of time before the energy within was depleted... Under such circumstances, even if one were to escape, it wouldn't be considered as breaking the formation.
Even though the Demon Cinque Beast was extremely ferocious, ever since it was trapped, it had become as silent as an obedient child. Even though it was lusting after the Deerhorde Beast, it didn't show any signs of breaking the formation...
"Hall master, it's done!"
While everyone was still perplexed, Elder Hu and the others had already finished roasting the Deerhorde Beast. The golden spirit beast meat was extremely fragrant, and it was hard for anyone to reject it.
"Alright, bring it over!"
Hall Master Han nodded.
Elder Hu and the others nodded before bringing the roasted Deerhorde Beast over.
"Do you see that? If you hesitate any longer, we'll start eating..."
Chuckling lightly, Hall Master Han lowered his head to look at the Deerhorde Beast. Just as he was about to pick it up to entice the other party, his eyes suddenly widened, and he nearly exploded on the spot. "The heck! Which one of you... secretly ate it? "
"Secretly ate it?"
Everyone quickly turned their gazes over, only to realize that the previously intact Deerhorde Beast had lost one of its legs at some point in time. All that was left were its bones, hanging from its body.
In other words... someone had already eaten one of its legs!
Hall Master Han was frenzied.
Who could be so wicked?
Even though he said that he wanted to eat it, it was just a ploy to deceive the other party. If he were to eat it, it would be impossible for him to tame the other party.
Thus, it was only words, not action. How in the world did it lose a leg in the blink of an eye? To eat it so cleanly?
Aren't you guys too vicious! Don't you know how much I have to pay in order to capture this fellow?
Hall Master Han glared at Elder Hu and the others coldly.
Master Sai and that foolish 2-star beast tamer had just started roasting the meat when they left. It was impossible for them to be the culprit, so it could only be them.
"Hall master, we... didn't do it!"
Being stared at by Hall Master Han, Elder Hu and the others leaped in shock. They hurriedly waved their hands and were on the verge of tears.
Swallowing their saliva, they suppressed the agitation in their hearts, not daring to move in the slightest. How could they suddenly lose a leg?
"You didn't? Could it be that the meat flew away on its own? "
Hall Master Han was infuriated.
What kind of teammates did you find? I told you to roast meat to lure the Demon Cinque Beast into submission, and yet, you guys ate it first. Not only that, you even ate a leg...
Are you for real?
"Hall master, it really wasn't us. We can swear..."
Seeing that Hall Master Han didn't believe him, Elder Hu raised his palm and was just about to explain when he suddenly froze on the spot. As though he had seen a ghost, he exclaimed, "Hall master..."
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the shout, Hall Master Han turned his gaze over and staggered once more. He nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
The Deerhorde Beast, which had only lost a leg a moment ago, was now missing its other leg as well. Its bare bones hung on its body, creating an indescribably bizarre sight.
