Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 132 Did I fucking break the heavenly law?

There was a small grove of trees surrounding the village, at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. It was a distance that Silvermoon could reach in ten minutes at full speed, but not so far that the villagers patrolling the city walls would not notice.

After three days of intense stress, and with no rest today as she desperately fled for her life, all the exhaustion washed over her now that she was safe.

Silver Moon lay down, letting Lin Manman rest against it, its warm fur enveloping her tightly.

Ah-Dai perched on the tree, occasionally taking flight to circle and survey the surroundings. The honey badger stood guard to the side, shielding Lin Manman from the cool breeze while also keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.

"It's so good to have you all here..." Lin Manman murmured before falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, Lin Manman was not awakened by the glaring sunlight, but by Adai's anxious shouts.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Manman was still a little disoriented when Ah Dai woke her up because she was sleeping so soundly.

"cracking……"

"roar!"

Ah-Dai and Ping-Tou-Ge were both anxious to express themselves. After she stood up, Yin-Yue also stood up and looked around, appearing somewhat uneasy.

It turned out that when Ah-Dai was surveying from high above, he discovered that a large number of spirit beasts were driving wild animals and surrounding the village.

"What?!...Did I break some heavenly law and they still want me to go on this pilgrimage? Even with eighty-one tribulations, it shouldn't be one after another, right? Damn it!"

Lin Manman, instantly sober, couldn't help but curse.

She just escaped from a deadly battlefield last night, and today she's running into a beast tide? She may not have done anything good in her past life, but she certainly didn't commit any heinous crimes either, right?

Despite his angry words, he didn't dare to delay and climbed onto Silver Moon's back.

"Sharing the vision of the silly!"

Ah-Dai responded, and with a gentle flap of his wings, which had a wingspan of over three meters, he soared into the sky.

With Ah-Dai's shared vision, Lin Manman could clearly see the spirit beasts closing in on her.

They had originally planned to rely on Ah Dai to find out which area had fewer spirit beasts, and then figure out a way to break out.

When Lin Manman saw the scale of the beast tide, she just wanted to curse.

"I... fuck... damn it!"

"We can't rush forward, we can't get through. Run towards the village, let's go and report the news."

The beast tide had already formed a pincer movement, and it was impossible for her and the bald brethren to tear a gap and escape on their own.

There is only one option now: to report to the village and unite their strength to resist this beast tide.

Upon receiving the order, Yin Yue immediately changed direction and ran towards the village at full speed.

Lin Manman fumbled around and opened the protective gear that she had finally figured out how to close last night.

Although she needed to join forces with the villagers, as a complete stranger, she didn't know how the village treated outsiders, so she decided to open the door just to be on the safe side.

Meanwhile, the people patrolling the city wall of Zhao Family Village suddenly noticed two spirit beasts, one black and one white, approaching them in the distance. With their rich experience, they immediately sounded the village alarm.

The villagers who were employed immediately gathered on the city wall, while ordinary people took their children and hid in the underground shelters that had been built in advance.

"Why make such a commotion when there are only two spirit beasts?"

"If your eyesight isn't good, then stop yelling. One of them has someone sitting on its back."

"A beast tamer? What's going on with a lone beast tamer out here?"

"I don't know, they're almost here. I'll test them out first." After saying that, the man drew his bow and nocked an arrow. His arms, which were already thicker than those of an average person, swelled up even more terrifyingly at that moment.

He easily drew the giant bow, which was as thick as Lin Manman's wrist, to its full length.

With a "whoosh," the arrow flew toward Lin Manman at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Ah-Dai noticed the attack and flapped his wings, sending gusts of wind blades striking the arrows. However, this did not reduce the arrows' momentum; it merely deflected them slightly.

The arrow landed about ten meters away from Lin Manman and Yinyue. It seemed that even if Adai didn't make a move, the arrow wouldn't hit her.

However, warned by the arrow, Lin Manman dared not let Silver Moon get too close at high speed.

She couldn't send a message from such a distance, so she could only take off her protective cloak, raise it up as a white flag, and not know if these people would understand.

"It looks like a little baby. What does it mean that she's holding up that white thing?" The man drawing the bow had amazing eyesight; even from a distance of several hundred meters, he could clearly see Lin Manman on Yinyue's back.

"A child? How could there be a lone child in this desolate place? Could he have escaped from a destroyed village?"

"It's quite possible this time of year. Bring me a four-legged scaled beast, I'll go take a look." The man who had just drawn his bow slung it over his shoulder and leaped down from the city wall.

Those who heard his words below the city wall quickly pulled out a group of strong, two-meter-tall spirit beasts from a nearby house. These beasts resembled horses but had a layer of smooth scales on their skin.

The man took two quick steps and leaped lightly onto the back of the four-legged scaled beast. He patted the beast's neck, pointed in a direction, and the beast began to run quickly.

If Lin Manman were here, she would be surprised that even without the constraints of a contract, this level-two spirit beast was willing to be driven by humans.

"Little one, who are you? What are you doing here?"

The four-legged scaled beast was even faster than Silver Moon. Although Lin Manman had Silver Moon slow down, she still kept running towards the village. The burly man with the bow and arrow soon ran into her.

"Uncle, there's no time to explain! A horde of beasts is closing in from behind! Hurry back to the village and figure out how to defend against them!"

Lin Manman continued to let Yin Yue pass by the other party and hurried on her way, while loudly and briefly conveying the information to him.

"What? Damn it!" Without hesitation, the big man immediately turned around and ran back into the village.

Seeing that he didn't suspect anything, Lin Manman figured that this kind of thing wasn't unusual for them, so she quickly told Yinyue to follow.

When the man returned to the village, just as the others were about to close the gates, he said, "Let the little girl in first. Have all the adults who can fight assemble in the village square. The beast tide is coming!"

"What? So early this year?"

"It's all because of those garrison troops. How long has it been since they last came to clear out the beast tide? This year's early beast tide is all their fault."

"What's the use of saying all that now? If you're so capable, why don't you move to the city yourself? If not, shut up and go call for help!"

Just then, Lin Manman arrived in the village and, upon hearing the villagers' conversation, was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Last night's battle likely destroyed Fan Chengye's forces, but what about Jinling City? If the garrison and Wu Anbang are still there, then even if she goes back today, she might not be truly safe.

"Little girl, what's your name? I see you're a Beast Tamer, what level are you?" The old man with the bow suddenly came up to her and asked.

"My name is Lin Manman, and I'm a level three beast tamer. What's your name, sir?" In this perilous situation, she had no reason to hide anything, especially since the other party was a level seven warrior. If she lied, she would be exposed during the battle.

"My surname is Zhao, and most people here have the same surname. You can just call me Uncle Gui. When the fight breaks out, you'd better follow orders, or you'll be on your own to fend for yourself."

"Uncle Gui, don't worry, I know what's important and I will definitely cooperate with your instructions."

Seeing that she answered sincerely, Zhao Gui didn't say anything more and turned to join the other villagers in preparing weapons for the city defense.
