I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 230 Danger! The Stone Beast's Disguise!

Nangong Chui repeatedly confirmed that Nanran was really going to give this to him, until he annoyed Nanran with his questions and pretended to snatch it back: "If you don't want it, then give it back to me."

"want!"

Nangong Chui immediately put the Yao Li he had obtained into his spatial ring.

"I want what I want!"

As for the share of profits to be distributed to others, that's naturally her responsibility.

She'll get angry with anyone who tries to stop her from paying!
She's now Nan Ran's number one lackey!
Nangong Chui was in a great mood, and she even gave money to Ye Zhi and Feng Yang, who were not in their team.

But that happened after we returned to our sect.

Having settled Yao Li's fate, everyone began to work together to dissect the Deep Water Dragon.

The defenses of dragon-like monsters are formidable, and ordinary weapons can hardly penetrate them.

Moreover, dragon skin is an excellent material for crafting weapons.

However, if the peeling method is improper, the quality will be greatly reduced.

The skinning work was taken care of by Nangong Chui, the only weapon refiner in the team.

After the dragon's skin was completely peeled off, Meng Duanyue and the others stepped forward to remove the deep-water dragon's internal organs and other valuable parts.

"With Junior Sister Nanran as my lucky charm, the core area doesn't feel so scary anymore."

"If you ask me, we shouldn't leave Junior Sister Nanran behind to guard the house anymore."

"Just keep it close to your body..."

Yao Ran spoke casually and jokingly, but his words revealed the secret of the matter.

Meng Duanyue seemed to be deep in thought.

Jiang Wanyin, on the other hand, seemed even angrier.

Nan Ran, from who knows where, picked some wild corn and is now happily studying how to roast it.

"Mimi, let me tell you, this roasted corn is absolutely the best way to eat corn..."

She chattered on and on, full of surprise at discovering wild corn.

Mimi didn't understand.

Even the best things can't compare to fragrant bamboo rice.
For it, that is the ultimate delicacy.

But if Nanran is happy, then it is happy too.
-
Ouyang Tie and Han Cheng, who entered the core area after Meng Duanyue and the others, were dressed in rags and looked quite disheveled.

Without a map, they followed their instincts and took a different route.

Not far off, they were about to be attacked by a monster.

Sometimes it's a facehugger, sometimes a crocodile, sometimes a water salamander, and sometimes a tusked rabbit...

Without exception, all of these monsters were of relatively low level.

Hiding in the bushes, they lie in wait for passersby, then sneak out and launch a surprise attack when no one is looking.

Several times, Han Cheng and Ouyang Tie almost got caught by facehuggers.

Even so, their journey was far from easy.

"Let's take a break!"

Ouyang Tie swallowed twice, his voice dry: "I don't know what I'll encounter next."

They are now short of water and food, and their spiritual energy has been mostly depleted.

If your stamina is also low, you'll really be feeding the enemy.

"Ah."

Han Cheng handed a piece of fresh golden-haired pork to Ouyang Tie.

"Let's just eat this."

"The taste may not be very good, but at least it can fill your stomach."

The two dared not light a fire in the forest, so they had no choice but to eat it raw.

Following the two, Lin Lin, who killed Ye Di, accidentally chose the same path that Nan Ran and the others had taken.

We didn't encounter anything along the way.

Fifteen days later.

"Look!"

Yao Ran pointed ahead, excitedly looking at the flag bearing the emblem of the Beast Taming Sect fluttering in the wind.

The others looked over upon hearing the sound and breathed a sigh of relief.

Is it finally here?
"Great!" "Wait, I'm going to eat two big bowls of spirit rice!"

Along the way, Nan Ran fed them from time to time.

But Nanran didn't expect to be out for so long.

Since leaving the territory of the Deepwater Dragon, they have killed quite a few demonic beasts one after another.

However, these monsters are not of very high rank.

It was easily solved.

The journey has been relatively quiet.

There was nothing particularly dangerous.

In the early stages, they were able to eat and drink their fill every day, and rest well.

Further on, in the dense forest, somehow a wasteland appeared!
All around, there were only patches of yellowstone landforms, one after another.

Not a blade of grass grows!

A desolate place with no villages or shops in sight and no end in sight.

Being there, no matter which way you look—forward, backward, left, or right—it's all pretty much the same, making you wonder if they're moving forward or just standing still.

If one's mindset were weaker, their Dao heart would probably have been shattered long ago.

At first, things were fine with Nanran feeding them.

Although the journey was long and uncertain, it wasn't too difficult to endure.

But later on, there weren't many snacks left of the ones Nanran had brought.

She did bring pots and pans.

You can cook anytime.

Unfortunately, they were in a desolate area with no prey to hunt.

There aren't even any mammalian monsters left, not even a spider with legs.

Otherwise, you can deep-fry it and eat it.

Now, I've finally made it out...

[That's not quite right.]
The Frostbeast suddenly spoke up, and Nanran turned her head to look at it: "Something's not quite right."

[The appearance of this flag is so strange.]
[Furthermore, since this is a stronghold of the Beast Taming Sect, why does it appear so deserted?]
Upon hearing this, Nan Ran couldn't help but take a few more glances at the small wooden house not far away.

"Something does seem a bit strange..."

She frowned slightly: "It's almost time to eat now."

"But the location of that outpost showed no signs of anyone cooking or making fires."

Yao Ran, however, disagreed: "Perhaps the elders who stayed behind at the stronghold are fasting."

"That's normal!"

For those who cultivate immortality, fasting is indeed a common practice.

Everyone else thought it was nothing.

In addition, they had been walking in this desolate and barren rocky area for more than ten days, and their Daoist hearts were already unstable.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to see familiar faces, then rush back to his sect and get a good night's sleep.

Even Meng Duanyue said, "In all my years in the inner sect, this is the first time I've been away for more than a month because of daily assessments and trials."

Normally, it would be over in half a month at most.

The group walked toward the cabin with great anticipation.

The golden-tailed fanged wolf, which had been following Nan Ran and the others at a distance, suddenly stepped forward.

In an urgent tone: [We can't go over there!]
"what?"

Nan Ran asked, bewildered, "Why?"

The Golden-Tailed Fanged Wolf shook its head: [I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have a feeling there's something bad about it.]
It was the instinct of a wolf-type royal beast facing danger.

Nan Ran frowned slightly. As a native monster of the Water Demon Forest, the Golden-Tailed Fanged Wolf had such an intuition, which made it very likely that there was indeed something wrong with that small wooden house.

[The core area is home to many monsters similar to the Mountain Beast, which are adept at disguising themselves as mountains and rocks.]
The Golden-Tailed Fanged Wolf revealed another crucial piece of information.

Nan Ran was about to call Meng Duanyue and the others, but alas...

One step slower!
"Senior Sister Meng!!"

"Yeats!!"
