Tian Bao was overjoyed this time. He could finally blend into this little circle. If he could boast that he was acquainted with Madam Ghost Child and that they could call each other brothers, he was sure that the other bandits would wet their pants in fright.
After leaving the Visitation Hall, Tian Bao couldn't wait to summon one of his sworn brothers.
The Rank 2 Nanjiang angle-eyed tiger was his brother's pet beast.
"Old Seven, where's your pet beast?" Tian Bao wanted to see what the curator's pill was like. Speaking of which, he did consider keeping the pill for his pet beast.
But after some thought, he decided against it.
Since the curator had named the pill for the Nanjiang angle-eyed tiger, there must be a reason for it. If he didn't listen and the curator found out, he might get into trouble.
He might as well follow the curator's instructions.
He was also curious to see what would happen if the Nanjiang angle-eyed tiger ate the curator's pill.
Old Seven was a burly man. Upon hearing Tian Bao's order, he immediately summoned his pet beast.
The Nanjiang angle-eyed tiger was massive. Including its tail, it was over ten feet long. Its combat strength wasn't weak either. Among Rank 2 pet beasts, it was considered superior.
Tian Bao fed the Nanjiang angle-eyed tiger the pill.
"Brother Two, what did you feed Big Cat?" Old Seven loved this pet beast very much. Although he trusted Tian Bao, he was still afraid that the latter would feed his pet beast anything else.
"Cut the crap. Just watch," Tian Bao scolded impatiently.
At this time, the boss of the stronghold also came. This time, he also wanted to ask about Tian Bao's situation, but seeing that Tian Bao was concentrating on Old Seven's Nanjiang Sky-eyed Tiger, the bandit boss didn't say a word.
After consuming the pill, the Nanjiang angle-eyed tiger reacted immediately.
First, it paced around in a frenzy. Then, with a sudden roar, an eerie gust of wind emanated from its body, fluttering everyone's clothes.
Then, the wind grew stronger, roaring in everyone's ears. The couplets pasted on the wall were torn apart by the gust and swept into the air.
"What a strong gust of wind!" the bandit boss exclaimed.
Apart from Tian Bao, who was relatively calm, everyone else was shocked, not knowing what was going on.
"Brothers, don't panic. I just fed Old Seven's pet beast a pill bestowed by Curator. As for its specific effects, you'll find out soon enough." In fact, Tian Bao had no idea what the pill was for, so that was all he said.
In this group of bandits, except for a few who had fled with their lives because they couldn't survive, most of them had become bandits because they couldn't survive anymore.
None of their pet beasts were strong.
Tian Bao's Tyrannical Dragon was the strongest among them. Other than that, there were only a handful of rank 2 beasts. Most of them were ordinary rank 1 mountain beasts.
Naturally, most people had never seen a ferocious beast evolve.
Tian Bao had seen it before.
Still, he found it hard to believe that a random pill from the Curator could help Old Seven's pet beast evolve?
That was impossible, right?
At this moment, his heart was beating rapidly, and his eyes were wide open as he watched carefully.
The sound of bones growing could be heard from the body of the Southern Border angle-eyed tiger. Even the size of the tiger began to increase, its fur grew, and its claws and teeth became sharper.
In terms of aura, it was like climbing a mountain, constantly growing.
The next instant, the Southern Border angle-eyed tiger breathed out a gust of wind. Like a blade, it swept forward and crushed a large boulder in front of it.
Taking another look, the Southern Border angle-eyed tiger had doubled in size. Even Tian Bao's Tyrannical Dragon paled in comparison to its aura. As for the other pet beasts, they were all curled up in a ball, suppressed by the tiger's aura.
"Rank 3?"
Tian Bao's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
Although he had thought of this possibility, he was still astounded to witness with his own eyes how a single pill could create a Rank 3 pet beast.
"Curator's means are so mysterious. To think that he could create a Rank 3 pet beast so easily. This is terrifying." If Tian Bao was so shocked, the others were just as dumbfounded.
The most surprised among them was obviously Old Seven. He didn't expect his pet beast to evolve into Rank 3 in the blink of an eye.
Rank 3! How many Rank 3 pet beasts were there in their village?
Counting with his fingers, there was only one in the past and that was Second Brother's Tyrannical Dragon. Now, there was another one. Didn't this mean that Old Seven's status was now the same as Second Brother's?
At this thought, Old Seven immediately felt proud and elated.
After the other brothers understood the situation, they all looked at Old Seven enviously. At the same time, they were displeased. Why didn't Second Brother help their pet beasts evolve?
Not to mention the subordinates, even the boss of the stronghold felt a little envious and jealous.
His own pet beast was Rank 2 too. Why did Second Brother only help Old Seven when he went to the Visitation Hall to ask for guidance?
Could there be some unspeakable secret between them?
There were suspicions but they couldn't say it out loud.
On the surface, everyone was still in a harmonious mood as they went up to congratulate Old Seven. But that was when a rift began to form.
…
Lin Jin's mansion. Yesterday, Lin Jin had entered the mountain to bring Shang'er, Little Five, the fox cubs, and the great white ape back to Maple City.
His plan to bring these monsters back to the city wasn't a spur of the moment decision. It had been made after careful consideration.
Take Shang'er and Little Five for example. Even if they knew Transfiguration and were familiar with etiquette, they could still tell that they were acting a little unnatural.
This was because they lived in the wilderness and rarely interacted with humans. If they caused trouble in the secular world, even if they were monsters, after some time, they would turn into normal humans and no one would be able to tell that they were anything but normal.
This was beneficial to their cultivation of the Shapeshifting Technique.
This was written in the Museum of Deadly Beasts as well. In the Monster King's Transfiguration Art, the beginning of transfiguration was to observe, learn, and then imitate. The average person would find it hard to tell the difference. The best method was to immerse oneself in the secular world and be exposed to the aura of the mortal world.
Lin Jin gave it some thought. Since the best way to cultivate Transfiguration was to immerse oneself in the secular world, bringing Shang'er and the others here shouldn't be a problem.
Monsters were usually wild and difficult to tame, so they would always cause trouble. Hence, humans and monsters had always been enemies.
However, Lin Jin was a transmigrated soul so he scoffed at this theory.
In this world, how could there be conflict for no reason?
They just didn't understand it.
Take Shang'er and the others for example. If someone were to restrain them, they could behave like humans, obeying the law, being educated, and even surpassing humans.
Weren't there many disobedient and mischievous human children as well?
It was the same for all the evildoers.
Monsters were just like humans. They had to be taught well and restrained. Humans' restraint was the law, but for monsters, only Lin Jin could keep them in check for now.
Fortunately, whether it was Shang'er, the foxes, or the great white ape, they were all respectful of him. Lin Jin believed that they would still listen to him.
After settling Shang'er and the others down, the little foxes stayed in the yard. The great white ape could now maintain his transformation and shrink his size. Lin Jin was most worried about him.
Recently, Lin Jin learned a 'seal technique' from the Museum of Deadly Beasts that could suppress demonic aura. If the great white ape couldn't maintain its transformation technique, a seal could disperse its demonic aura, preventing it from revealing its true form.
Hence, for this trip to the royal capital with Lu Bin, Lin Jin planned to bring the great white ape along.
Xiao Huo was his pet beast so he obviously had to bring him along. Other than that, the others would stay at home and be taken care of by Shang'er.
