At first, everyone thought that the trap had not been triggered, but when they went forward to take a look, they found a kitten in the iron cage. This kitten had snow-white fur, and every strand of its fur was soft and smooth. It gave people the urge to touch it. Overall, it looked like a very cute furry pet. At this time, it was lying in the iron cage with its eyes slightly closed. It should be sleeping.
What was different about this kitten was that it had a rhombus-shaped crystal on its forehead, which was a Void Crystal. This kitten was a Void Beast.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel delighted – after searching for so long, he had finally found it. Everyone went to the cage, and when the kitten heard them, it slowly opened its pure-white eyes. Seeing that everyone was standing around it, it looked quite panicked and started to run around within the cage, but it was unable to escape.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that they had finally caught a Void Beast after such a long time, everyone smiled and saluted to Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu nodded and also smiled. Looking at the Void Beast running around within the cage, Zhao Fu stretched his hand into the cage and grabbed at the air, causing the Void Beast to fall into Zhao Fu's hand.
The Void Beast vigorously struggled in Zhao Fu's hand and let out an ear-piercing shriek because it felt a sense of danger. The black-cloaked figure in front of it wanted to kill it, and the Void Beast madly struggled. However, no matter how much it struggled, it was unable to escape from that hand. This black-cloaked figure was incredibly powerful, the Void Beast thought to itself. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net]
At that moment, Zhao Fu's hand was on the Void Beast's throat, and he was about to break its neck and take the Void Crystal from its head.
The Void Beast felt a large hand around its throat, and with just a slight twist, it would end its life. The Void Beast's eyes were filled with terror and despair, and tears flowed out of its eyes as it looked at the black-cloaked figure, hoping that he would spare it.
This Void Beast looked like a little kitten, and it looked quite cute. If it fell into someone's hands, they would definitely treat it like a precious treasure, and they would cherish it greatly.
At this moment, its teary eyes could be said to be able to instantly kill anyone. However, it was a pity that it had fallen into Zhao Fu's hands. Zhao Fu was a very rational person, and he would not let it go just because it looked cute. After all, he needed Void Crystals.
The Void Beast struggled in despair, and an aura of death enveloped it.
Finally!
Zhao Fu stopped because he suddenly thought of the Universal Den that he had obtained. The Universal Den's description said that no matter what kind of creature occupied it, it would spawn that creature. He wondered if it could spawn Void Beasts.
A Void Crystal could only maintain a single Teleportation Formation to the outside world. In other words, a single Void Crystal could only open up a single passage. To open up other passages and go to other places, Void Crystals were needed. The more passages one opened, the more Void Crystals one would need. [Zero ↑ 9 △ Small ↑ Say △ Net]
However, with how rare Void Beasts were, obtaining a large number of Void Crystals was evidently impossible. If Zhao Fu's Den could spawn Void Beasts, the benefits that Zhao Fu would obtain would be massive.
After returning the Void Beast to the cage, Zhao Fu took out a piece of paper. This was a Contract Paper, and it was similar to the Life-and-Death Contract that Liu Mei had used in the past. Back when Liu Mei had used Life-and-Death Contracts, Zhao Fu had been quite interested in them, so he had bought a few of them. Now, they had come in handy.
Zhao Fu cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Contract Paper. After absorbing the blood, the Contract Paper gave off a faint blood-red light before turning into countless motes of blood-red light that entered Zhao Fu's body and the Void Beast's body, which was curled up in the cage and looking at Zhao Fu in fear.
The Contract had been formed!
After opening the cage, the Void Beast looked at Zhao Fu pitifully with its pure-white eyes. It didn't try to run because it knew that it wouldn't be able to escape.
Zhao Fu smiled and grabbed it. This time, Zhao Fu's attitude was much friendlier, and he hugged it and gently stroked its head, trying to calm it down.
"Let's go back!"
Zhao Fu turned and ordered. Their main goal was to catch the Void Beast, and since they had already caught it, there was nothing for them to do here.
… …
Three days later.
Zhao Fu and his group returned to Qin Village. In the 10 or so days that they had been gone, Qin Qin Village had greatly changed. First, the city walls had reached a certain scale, and the eastern and western walls were almost complete. The city walls were 10 meters tall and were completely white, giving off a majestic feeling.
These city walls were already at the level of a City, and because there were no restrictions, Zhao Fu could build them as he pleased. Of course, these city walls weren't the final form of Qin Village's city walls. As Qin Village developed in the future, it would most likely be expanded.
Moreover, the various departments of Qin Village were already operating and carrying out their own functions. Now, Qin Qin Village was developing in an orderly manner, and everything was managed well. Whether it was the streets or the houses, they were all cleaner and tidier than before.
Qin Village was only 2,000 or so EXP away from leveling up to a Town, and 2,000 EXP was not much. Perhaps they would be able to obtain it tomorrow.
Apart from the development of the Village, Zhang Dahu had also become a Stage 1 General and started to train his own soldiers. Zhang Dahu did not choose the Great Qin Village's Iron Eagle Elite Soldiers, and he instead planned to train his own soldiers called the Tiger Saber Corps.
The Tiger Saber Corps mainly used large sabers, and they were proficient in both infantry and horse battles. As for how the Tiger Saber Corps would develop in the future, it all depended on Zhang Dahu, and it depended on how he developed his own soldiers.
What surprised Zhao Fu was that Li Si had also broken through to Stage 1. Zhao Fu had always treated Li Si as an Internal Affairs Minister, and apart from some internal affairs, Zhao Fu had never cared about his cultivation. As such, when he heard that Li Si had also broken through to Stage 1, he was quite surprised.
In actuality, Li Si's talent was not weak, and he was SS. Like Bai Qi, when he had established Qin Village, he had been by Zhao Fu's side to assist him.
Li Si was not a General, so he had not unlocked his own soldiers. However, he had unlocked an ability, which was to train people to manage internal affairs. The role of the military was to stabilize the world, expand the territory, and maintain simple order. The military's battle strength was extraordinary, and it was very powerful. It could fight any injustice, but it could not be used to govern.
Even though the Literary Path didn't seem to have much battle power, it was much more useful in terms of governance and internal affairs than the Martial Path. Only by combining strength and softness would one be able to balance Yin and Yang, so Zhao Fu decided to develop the Literary Path and the Martial Path together.
