Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 208 Furry

The people inside looked at the people coming from outside with great vigilance.

When Jiang Feng stood at the entrance of the cave, he could smell the stench of blood emanating from inside.

Clearly, someone inside is injured.

Ji Zhang's senses were more acute than Jiang Feng's, so he naturally smelled the blood.

"Bringing juniors to contract mythical beasts." Although the other party was hostile to them, Ji Zhang would not directly attack them.

After all, these people were only on guard against outsiders because they were injured.

There is no need to harm the beast tamer at this time.

In Ji Zhang's mind, the existence of every human beast tamer is a source of energy for humanity to resist ferocious beasts.

Therefore, he will absolutely not take the initiative to attack the other party unless they have caused him harm.

"There's nothing inside the cave." Hearing Ji Zhang's tone, the person standing at the door relaxed their guard slightly.

After all, there were only two people, Jiang Feng and Ji Zhang, and their cultivation levels were vastly different. They could tell that Jiang Feng was only a second-tier beast tamer.

Those who form a team to enter such a phantom mirror must all be at the fourth rank.

In their eyes, Jiang Feng, who was only at the second tier, was not considered a fighter; he was a junior.

It makes perfect sense for elders to lead the search for mythical beasts; that's how they did it back then.

However, back then, the teacher led them to search in the relatively safe Illusionary Mirror, unlike Jiang Feng who went to the less stable Illusionary Mirror to search for magical beasts.

He couldn't see through this man, but his strength must be extremely formidable.

"This is just an ordinary cave. Not even a single magical treasure has grown inside. It's a temporary dwelling we got after hunting down an Ice Claw Bear."

After saying this, Ji Zhang nodded, showing no intention of forcibly barging in.

He had just scanned the inside with his mental power and could see that there was nothing inside except for people.

It doesn't meet the survival conditions of the mythical beast they're looking for, so there's no need to go in.

So Ji Zhang nodded and left with Jiang Feng.

However, after Ji Zhang left, the people in the cave suddenly had some ulterior motives.

"Was that person searching for a mythical beast in the cave?"

"That beast tamer is only at the second level, yet they let a powerful expert whose strength we don't even know bring them in. They must be looking for an extremely powerful magical beast!"

After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up; some things don't need to be said.

"If we could obtain such a mythical beast."

"If we sell it, we're sure to get a good price!"

It's important to know that many large families are particularly willing to spend money to buy mythical beasts for their own children. In the market, the best low-level mythical beasts that can be contracted are basically priceless.

If even one appears, it will be snapped up like crazy.

In other words, as long as they take the goods out, they are guaranteed to make money.

The purpose of going to a place like this is simply to make money, isn't it?

And they weren't trying to steal anything; they were just competing fairly!

"But we have no idea what they're looking for?"

"It must be a mythical beast that grows up in a cave, does anyone remember it?"

Many mythical beasts grow up in caves, such as stone monsters, as well as some dark-attribute or other-attribute mythical beasts, which can appear in caves.

This group of people gathered together, and although some of them did not agree with this approach, the minority yielded to the majority.

This practice allows them to make a lot of money.

People tend to behave more terribly when faced with money.

Jiang Feng and Ji Zhang sat on the griffin, and Ji Zhang told Jiang Feng why he hadn't made a move.

Human beast tamers are indeed very rare. A fourth-tier beast tamer is already considered a fully-fledged beast tamer, and the country spends a huge amount of money to train them.

Although they are not currently on the front lines or on the battlefield, every Beastmaster is a valuable asset to the nation.

In the future, when ferocious beasts attack humans, the presence of every beast tamer will increase humanity's chances of winning in battle.

"There are no caves on this mountain."

Although the snowfall on the snow-capped mountain would have some impact on Jingsheng Village, Ji Zhang could perfectly see whether there was a hot spring inside once he was at the cave entrance.

The mythical beasts cannot be perfectly perceived through one's own mental power.

"There's a little glacier bear cub over there." Glacier bears are elite-level magical beasts. For most beast tamers, being able to contract an elite-level magical beast at the second tier is already enough.

But that was not Ji Zhang's arrangement for Jiang Feng.

Each mythical beast has an impact on the potential of the Beastmaster.

Laying a solid foundation in the early stages is the most important thing.

Although elite-level magical beasts can grow into commander-level magical beasts after being nurtured, that requires too many resources and effort.

When they saw the mythical beast, their eyes lit up.

It's fluffy and cute!

Her magical beasts, so far, have never been this furry.

Although Qiuqiu the bird's feathers feel nice to touch, they are still just feathers.

The fur on the fighting deer is too short; it's not really fluffy.

As for the Black Dragon.

It has no fur at all.

If the contract is with that Ice Crystal Snow Lotus, then it won't be fluffy anymore!

Ji Zhang noticed Jiang Feng's gaze and looked down.

"want to?"

Jiang Feng shook his head.

Although I really like fluffy things, since I've come all this way with my uncle, I naturally have to choose a better mythical beast.

It's all furry and stuff; I can raise it myself someday.

"You can take it home to guard the house."

Ji Zhang said to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up instantly as he looked at Ji Zhang.

"Do you remember that spherical thing you used when you subdued Akakaga?"

"That can hold the mythical beasts."

"That little glacier bear seems to have lost the care of the adult glacier bears, and it won't live long in this place anyway."

There is naturally a strong competitive relationship between mythical beasts.

A mythical beast with high growth potential is naturally considered a very good food by other mythical beasts.

Many mythical beasts die in their infancy.

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up instantly after hearing what Ji Zhang said.

The house is big enough to comfortably house a teddy bear!

Moreover, her uncle had brought her a kitten home before, and after they left, the kitten had no animals to keep it company!

Taking a little bear back with you now isn't so bad, is it?

Even if she can't form a contract with the bear in the future, she should still be able to raise the bear, right?

All you need to do is look at what the little bear needs to advance and upgrade!

Ji Zhang produced the sphere that Jiang Feng had seen before, and flew downwards with Jiang Feng in his hand.

The fur of the glacier bear is pure white, so it's not very clear in the snow.

Sensing the unfamiliar presence, the little bear instantly became alert.

Its mother had been gone for many days, otherwise the bear cub wouldn't have run out of its cave into the dangerous outside at this time.

It naturally needs to eat as well.

Now that Mu Qing is gone, it will be very difficult for it to grow up. Although the pressure of the bear in the cave keeps some weaker magical beasts away, there is no food in the cave.

It was very lucky when it came out; snowflakes fell from the sky, concealing not only its footsteps but also its presence.

But now, the rain is about to stop, and the bear is very hungry.

"Although he was only recently born, he is already a first-tier phantom beast," Ji Zhang said to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng can easily handle a first-tier phantom beast now.

He previously said he would teach Jiang Feng how to escape, but now there's no time for that.

However, they still had time to take one of the bear cubs with them.

Jiang Feng summoned the Fighting Deer.

Dou Lu knew exactly what Jiang Feng wanted and immediately launched his attack.

The little bear is only a few years old and is not yet very proficient in using its skills.

Under these circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for him to fight a second-tier fighting deer.

The little bear was quickly knocked unconscious by the deer. Jiang Feng picked up the little bear and placed it inside the round ball provided by Ji Zhang.

"Uncle, can this be put into the spatial storage?"

"Yes, this is the result of research in recent years, and it can be put into the space button."

"Keep this safe, you might need it someday." Although these things are very expensive, Ji Zhang was very generous in giving them to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng didn't refuse and put the items into his personal storage space.

Then, after thinking for a moment, her eyes lit up: "Uncle, the bear cub definitely wasn't abandoned in the wild by its mother!"

Jiang Feng's words served as a direct reminder to Ji Zhang.

"Yes, there must be caves here too." They are currently at the foot of the mountain, very close to the base.

While bears might dig holes for themselves, using natural caves is naturally the best option.

The areas occupied by high-level mythical beasts should be quite nice as well.

Ji Zhang led Jiang Feng forward.

They indeed hadn't checked this place.

Ji Zhang led Jiang Feng forward.

After searching for a while, they found a cave.

The cave was very warm, and Ji Zhang's eyes lit up when he stood at the entrance.

"The cave entrance is so warm; there might really be a hot spring inside."

The reason he didn't explore the caves inhabited by magical beasts was because most magical beasts, regardless of species, couldn't coexist peacefully together.

But now that I think about it, if the Ice Lotus had stayed in the water during its infancy, it wouldn't have been impossible for it to coexist with other mythical beasts.

"There are still traces of mythical beasts here." After Ji Zhang finished speaking, Jiang Feng saw over there that there were actually three more bear cubs in a den.

Upon seeing this, Ji Zhang's face showed a hint of shock: "How come there are so many Ice Bears here?"

Human research on mythical beast eggs is not yet particularly advanced.

However, it is also known that magical beast eggs are very difficult to obtain under artificial breeding conditions.

Moreover, the principle behind the appearance of mythical beast eggs is still not understood by humankind.

Under what circumstances will two mythical beasts cause mythical beast eggs to appear around them?

It seems that the mythical beasts have no memory of the mythical beast eggs, or perhaps that such memory was forcibly erased by some kind of rule.

However, although we don't know some of the specific patterns, we can still find other patterns.

For example, the chances of a magical beast egg appearing are highest when two magical beasts, one male and one female, are together.

And, similar to previous understanding, the weaker the mythical beast, the more mythical beast eggs will appear at the same time.

The more powerful a mythical beast is, the less likely it is to raise many mythical beast eggs at the same time.

Under these circumstances, the presence of several glacier bears here is indeed quite unusual.

"Should we take them all back?"

Jiang Feng looked at Ji Zhang and asked.

Clearly, those glacier bears didn't look as big as the one they had just caught, and were probably even younger.

Jiang Feng didn't even need to send out the Fighting Deer. He just used Yang Slash to control them all, then grabbed them and put them into the spherical space.

Then Jiang Feng stood in front of their nest, thought for a while, and put the nest they were originally lying in back in.

Ji Zhang stopped in front of the hot spring and looked into it.

Just then, the hot spring water began to flow.

"Yes!" Ji Zhang said, and the water flow in the hot spring became larger and larger, and then something that Jiang Feng had just seen in the picture appeared in front of them.

After the object appeared, a group of people also appeared outside the cave. If you looked closely, you could tell that they were the same people that Ji Zhang and Jiang Feng had encountered earlier.

"There are energy fluctuations inside this cave."

Ji Zhang also noticed the people outside. He had Jiang Feng fight the phantom beast while he himself went to the door. When he saw that the person who came was the same person as before, Ji Zhang's brows furrowed instantly.

Those people never expected that they would run into Ji Zhang again.

There was fear in his eyes, but also surprise.

Meeting this senior again means they've found the right place?

If they could obtain a mythical beast that even this senior, whose strength they couldn't discern, desired, they could definitely sell it for a good price.

"Gentlemen, this cave is off-limits." Although Ji Zhang did not summon any magical beasts, just by standing at the entrance and releasing his aura, he made people hesitant to approach.

At this moment, Jiang Feng also heard the commotion outside and ordered Dou Lu and Hei Long to fight the frost-like lotus root.

This mythical beast is currently called Ice Crystal Snow Lotus. It has not yet evolved into a snow lotus, but given its appearance, it has already demonstrated its formidable defensive capabilities.

Moreover, lotus root is still connected even when broken, and it has a strong healing ability. In ancient legends, lotus root can even be used to revive people.

Jiang Feng naturally felt the difficulty while fighting his opponent.

Ji Zhang stood at the door and frowned as he saw the people outside who, despite being persuaded, refused to leave.

"Griffin." He summoned the phantom beast directly.

In reality, the seven people on the other side had been observing Ji Zhang's situation the whole time.

They believed that if the other side didn't directly attack them, there might not be an absolute chance of victory.
