Change jobs, pet beast!

They started kowtowing right away?

Judging from this sincere attitude, this Dragon-Tiger Tendon-Regenerating Pill is definitely worth it.

He Zhifeng stroked his gray beard and said with a smile:

"That makes sense."

"Your contracted pet, the 'Rockhoof Lion,' seemingly paired with the 'Laborer' class, is being chased by a group of docile Irontail Porcupines."

"So it turns out he fought several battles in a row, nearing his limit, and even resorted to 'work injury assessment.' No wonder."

Duan Yi gave a wry smile.

Work injury assessment – ​​automatically determines the extent of injury at the time of injury, and provides relief such as injury reduction, strength enhancement, pain relief, or life-saving effects based on the severity of the injury.

This is the core inherent power of the one-star pet job "Laborer".

The Rockhoof Lion was indeed near death a few hours ago, triggering the most severe "Level 1 Work Injury" and forcibly healing itself. Afterwards, it continued fighting and once again came close to death.

Otherwise, with only the leader paired with a herd of Irontail Porcupines, even if he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't be so helpless.

"You two look unfamiliar; are you from out of town?"

Duan Yi changed the subject and asked the question directly.

"Hmm." Jiang Mo said casually, "You're new here and lack a guide, which is the main reason we rescued you."

"Understood." Duan Yi nodded, not foolishly asking about their identities and backgrounds, and said in a deep voice:

"Follow me, and we'll reach Kujing Village in less than two hours."

"Once I've rescued my daughter, whatever you two need, I, Duan, will do my utmost, even at the cost of my life!"

"Excellent!" He Zhifeng narrowed his eyes, his gaze carrying a hint of approval.

People's hearts are unfathomable; their good or evil is unknowable.

However, he and the young master didn't ask for much. As long as they could take him to any village and confirm that it was a suitable safe haven, that would be enough. They would figure out the rest themselves.

"Stone Pillar, let's go!"

Duan Yi walked to the cave entrance and stroked the rock-hoofed lion's cheek as encouragement.

The rock-hoofed lion let out a roar, braced itself on all four hooves, and slowly stood up.

Although he only rested lying down for an hour.

But it is a laborer, a one-star pet that is best at working. At this time, its mobility has been restored to more than half, and there is no problem with traveling normally.

"Over here."

Duan Yi jumped onto the back of the rock-hoofed lion, without even looking around, and directly locked onto the route ahead.

As expected of an architect… Jiang Mo became even more certain that this person must have “structural scanning” skills, otherwise his amazing sense of direction would be inexplicable.

"Hey trolls, same old rules, stick with the young master!" Old Crane repeatedly reminded him.

"Woof!" the Fire Hound barked, its four legs swaying slowly as it lagged behind the rest of the group.

Okay, okay, I'll work a little overtime.

Just a little while!

Once the young two-legged creature forms a contract with a pet, it will be free! Awoo!

……

"Young Master Jiang, there's a dirty ant nest over there. The queen and king of the ants seem to have favored positions. Let's avoid them and take a detour to the right."

"There are natural mud traps ahead; once you get stuck, getting out will be extremely difficult... Rock Pillar, don't be reckless!"

"Young Master Jiang, the soil is quite firm for the next stretch of road. Be careful of the thorny vines hanging overhead and watch out for the black horned snakes on both sides..."

Nearly half an hour has passed.

Jiang Mo was surprised to find that despite encountering so many wild beasts along the way, not a single battle broke out.

This villager from Kujing Village, surnamed Duan, not only benefited from the convenience afforded by the architect's power, but also possessed extensive experience in wilderness survival, which helped him avoid many unnecessary battles.

Duan Yi suddenly turned around: "Young Master Jiang, you also possess 'structural scanning,' right?"

"When I was probing just now, I could often sense similar spiritual ripples passing by."

"But it seems... you're still exploring this ability and are a little unfamiliar with it."

Jiang Mo thought for a moment and then readily admitted, "To be honest, I just advanced to Master today."

Duan Yi was stunned, completely unexpected such a coincidence.

Today he is struggling on the edge of life and death, knocking on the gates of hell countless times.

And this young man turned a new page in his life, forging ahead with great strides, full of vitality...

Fate can be so unpredictable sometimes.

Duan Yi sighed, then said after some consideration, "If you don't mind, I can share my experience using it."

Jiang Mo's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?

That Dragon Tiger Tendon-Regenerating Pill has already recouped its cost, and now it can still generate so many extra benefits... Why am I feeling a little smug?

Duan Yi naturally couldn't understand Jiang Mo's true thoughts.

He organized his words and spoke methodically:

"Young Master Jiang, I will only mention the two most crucial points."

"Structural scanning is not real-time detection."

"It simply maps the results of each probe into a three-dimensional image, reflecting the mind's boundaries."

"Non-living entities don't matter, but if you're going to use this to identify living entities, Young Master Jiang, you must be prepared to anticipate variables. Because in the gap between your detection and imaging, living entities may move at high speed at any time. If you're not careful, your Master will die..."

"Furthermore, certain areas cannot be directly detected, such as the lairs of certain pet beasts, or high-level extraordinary buildings..."

……

After sharing his tips and precautions on using architect's powers, Duan Yi began to focus on leading the way.

He did everything he could to avoid a fight, wanting only to get home as quickly as possible.

However, Jiang Mo inevitably encountered three more battles, and was ultimately killed by the Fire Hound.

at last……

We've arrived at Kujing Village.

Jiang Mo looked out from the top of the slope. The sky was a clear blue, the air was fresh, and the view was expansive.

Deep within the dense, dark forest, rows of green-tiled houses stand side by side. An ancient village, enclosed by mottled earthen walls and rough wooden fences, is isolated from the world, exuding an atmosphere of peace and tranquility amidst the rising smoke from its chimneys.

"cracking--"

A scaly eagle flapped its wings and circled, its wingspan like sails reflecting the sunlight. Its toes were as sharp as iron, exuding an imposing aura. Its fierce eyes looked down at the three people and two beasts.

[Race]: Scaled Eagle (Contract)

[Bloodline Rank]: Mountain and River Beasts (Lower Grade)

[Life Cycle]: Maturity Stage

[Attribute]: Gold

[Pet Class]: Soldier (One Star)

[Work Experience]: 76%

"Jiang Zheng, it's me."

"Oh, Old Duan? You rushed out in a panic last night, look at you, you're half dead, aren't you?"

The scaled eagle cried out and landed on a person's arm. Its body was covered with black scales that shimmered with golden light. It had no violent tendencies, but it possessed a terrifying aura.

Duan Yi rolled over and landed, then strode forward.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop being so quiet, we've been friends for ages."

"Are these two outsiders? It's been a long time since I've seen such young men. They have such fair skin and are really handsome."

The middle-aged male Master, with a Scaled Eagle aloft, leans against the wall.

One second he was talking lazily, the next he was glancing sideways with a forced smile.

"As is customary, I will not ask what these two have done or why they came to Green Raven Ridge."

"But if you want to enter Kujing Village, there is a fee of one copper coin per person, and you can't bargain."

"Of course, once you're inside, if you violate the three major village rules of Kujing Village... Lao Duan, you'll also be held responsible."

Duan Yi nodded, then took out two small, copper-shaped crystals, each no bigger than a soybean, and placed them in Jiang Zheng's other palm: "I'll pay for them."

"Oh ho?"

Jiang Zheng suddenly became interested, "For Old Man Duan to willingly part with his money, that's truly a rare thing, a real stunner."

"Watch your gate."

Duan Yi snorted coldly, stepped over the pass, and then sprinted like an 800-meter dash, heading straight for a courtyard on the north side of the village.

"Butterfly Flower, Father's back!"

Even though they were still some distance from the courtyard, Duan Yi shouted out, his eyes already reddening.

When he landed and rushed into the small house in the courtyard, Jiang Mo heard a cacophony of pots and pans clattering and tables banging, as if someone was brewing medicine. They were flustered and clearly out of control.
