Chapter 89 Taming Beasts

In the mountains.

The strange cooing sounds kept coming from deep in the mountains.

A series of footsteps approached.

The birds are hiding in the forest; there shouldn't be any ambushes.

Xu Guang gazed at the lush mountains and forests in the distance, lost in thought.

The Tibetans in the mountains are both simple and complex.

The simplicity lies in the lush forests of the mountains, making it relatively easy to conceal one's movements.

It's not simple, because when there are a lot of people, even if you don't light a fire to cook, the birds and beasts in the mountains will instinctively avoid you.

If there are no birds in a dense forest, there must be an ambush.

This was the first lesson Du Zhong taught him when he joined the army.

Of course, Xu Guang's purpose in scouting was not only to find ambushes, but also, most importantly, to gather scouts.

Those who dare to act as scouts in the mountains and forests are all top-notch experts in the army, with numerous ways to protect themselves.

Xu Guang deliberately changed direction and walked along the woods for a while.

We stopped in front of an abandoned wooden house. There were some fruit trees around it, which must have been planted by people. The wooden house must have been inhabited before.

Xu Guang was not surprised. This place was not considered a remote mountain forest, and ordinary people would not easily go up the mountain, but that did not mean that bandits would not come. Perhaps some bandits who had retired from their life of crime had planted fruit trees here and lived in seclusion.

These are all normal things.

He thought for a moment, walked around the cabin, found a secluded spot, and lit a campfire.

He sat down on the spot and took out a small booklet from his pocket.

This is a unique beast-taming technique that Li Qian taught him. It is a combination of physical and psychological methods of beast taming. It involves using the beast tamer's body to mix various medicines to make pills so that the alien species can become familiar with the beast tamer's aura. Then, it uses language to stimulate mental power and create a mental resonance with the alien species.

Xu Guang was quite interested in this; this extraordinary technique was quite remarkable.

After mastering the basics of beast taming, one must continuously rely on elixirs and spiritual resonance to solidify the connection with other species.

When one's cultivation reaches a high level, one can also rely on the connection generated by spiritual resonance to strengthen different bloodlines.

No wonder the Li family dared to covet the snow weasel; theoretically, this extraordinary technique does indeed have the potential to tame the snow weasel.

Xu Guang naturally intended to cultivate it, and he would find it easier to begin, while others would need to rely on incantations to cultivate this extraordinary technique.

He possessed a way to boost his spiritual power, but through his practice of mystical methods, his spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Time passed slowly.

Xu Guang got up, extinguished the campfire with mud, and left many messy footprints on the spot, as if many people had stayed there.

After watching from a distance for a while, Xu Guang nodded in satisfaction.

That should confuse them for a while.

Beside the campfire.

Xu Guang tore the rabbit meat apart and handed it to Du Zhao, saying, "You Niang, have something hot."

Du Zhao nodded, her face flushed, somewhat unaccustomed to being so intimate in front of others.

He handed some of the still-steaming rabbit meat to Wu Yunmiao, saying, "Yun'er, you should eat some too."

When Xu Guang saw this, he didn't say anything, but simply reached out and stirred the small iron pot on the campfire, which contained some hot soup.

The mountains are damp and cold, and the women there have never practiced martial arts. If they don't eat something warm, they are prone to getting sick.

He added a lot of medicinal herbs to it, including some spiritual herbs extracted from the Heavenly Stone, though they were just roots, of course.

For Du Zhao and other women, that was enough.

"Brother Guang, how much longer do we have to walk?"

Xu Guang thought for a moment, "It will probably take another half a month to reach Yuncheng. Xu Cheng's sect can meet us there. We can change our identities and take the official road. It will take about ten days to leave Shuofang Prefecture."

Du Zhao nodded, "Brother Guang, you should rest too, you're the most tired."

Xu Guang remained silent.

far away.

The Li family also lit a bonfire. A woman wrapped in a mink coat sat beside Li Qian. "Xiuwan, what do you think of Xu Guang?"

"So be it, just a crude brute."

Li Qian frowned. "Didn't you say he was a good person before?"

"Brother! When we go to the Zong family, there will be even more young people in Hedong."

Li Qian immediately understood his younger sister's thoughts.

"The future is the future. First, try to build a good relationship with Du Zhao and the others. If anything happens, you can stay with Du Zhao, and Brother Xu will also come to your rescue."

Li Xiuwan remained noncommittal.

The next day.

Xu Guang went ahead to scout again, but he didn't go too far, mainly to eliminate any scouts that might appear from all directions.

Du Zhao sat in the carriage, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside.

"Miss Du, my young lady would like to have a talk with you."

Du Zhao agreed.

A moment later, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old boarded the carriage.

She was quite beautiful, and her every move exuded the elegance and composure of a lady from a prominent family. When they arrived, Du Zhao and the others had just eaten some soaked dry rations in the carriage, which still had a faint smell.

A hint of disgust flashed in the woman's eyes, and she looked at Du Zhao and the others with a touch of disdain.

"Is this the third sister from the Li family? Come up and warm yourself by the fire."

Du Zhao noticed the woman's expression and a hint of displeasure flashed through his mind, but he still greeted her warmly.

Li Xiuwan smiled and waved her hand, "I won't go up. I just saw that Brother Xu was working hard and thought I'd bring some food for Sister Du Zhao and you. These are some pastries I brought with me when I left the city."

After saying that, he didn't even mention getting in the car; he just put his things down and left without lingering.

Liu Xiaocao snorted coldly, "Youniang, when Xiaoguang comes back, spend more time with him."

Du Zhao said with a smile, "Brother Guang is destined for great things, how can I always stay by his side?"

Liu Xiaocao hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Wu Yunmiao said directly, "Auntie, Brother Xu won't like her."

She also realized Li Xiuwan's purpose in coming.

Dark night in the dense forest.

He carried his mother on his back, his legs feeling like lead. All around him were shouts of battle, and he couldn't tell who was who.

Everyone's face was a blurry, dark mess.

All I could hear was the sound of weary, desperate breathing.

The pursuers behind them were like hyenas, relentlessly biting them.

"Da Nian, put me down and run away by yourself."

A low shout came from behind.

"Surrender and you will not be killed!"

A series of somewhat complicated sounds came from behind.

A woman's startled cry came from nearby.

He Nian recognized the voice as belonging to Yang Zhen's niece, who was pretty. He had even considered having his mother propose marriage to Yang Zhen.

Normally, he would stop to save people.

But now—he has his elderly mother on his back, he can't stop.

"You little wench, I told you not to run!"

The screams of Yang Zhen's niece came through the air, filled with pain.

He Nian ultimately did not turn back.

All he wanted was to escape with his mother.

But it seemed that pursuers were everywhere, covering the entire mountainside.

He couldn't help but think of Xu Guang; would it be safer to follow the team leader right now?

Xu Guang stood atop the hill, his eyes narrowed, gazing around with his golden pupils.

There is the aura of a tiger on this mountain. He has been studying the art of taming beasts recently and has been eager to try it out himself, but he doesn't want to just find some ordinary exotic creatures to practice.

Fierce beasts like tigers and bears are best.

Just then.

A slight vibration could be felt in the air around him.

Many people are fighting.

With heightened mental power, subtle changes in the air become more apparent.

Were the imperial guards caught up with by the pursuers?

A guess flashed through Xu Guang's mind.

He finally found the direction from which the sound came and walked in that direction.

After walking about three or four miles, faint sounds drifted into my ears.

"Where is the Li family's rebellion?!"

Xu Guang paused, turned around, and looked in the direction of the sound.
