Beast Familiarity Starts with Raising Cats

"The Prison of Shadows extracts part of the power from the target's shadow and nearby shadows, and condenses it into a cage to trap the enemy in the target area."

Bai Ye observed Mo Zai's new ability. Judging from the effect, it was a restraint skill.

The enemy seems to be able to move freely in the cage without any hindrance. If the enemy has the ability to cast spells, it should not affect the enemy's spellcasting.

It's just about movement control. At present, it seems that the Prison of Shadow has a very strong defensive effect against physical attacks.

Putting it this way...can this skill be a protective skill under certain circumstances?

Bai Ye pondered.

It has a strong defensive effect on physical attacks and does not affect the release of skills.

Isn't this just a side protective shield?

It's just that although this prison of shadows has strong defense, it also has a fatal weakness, that is, it is shaped like a prison.

The gaps between the railings are very large, and if faced with penetrating narrow attacks, such as arrows, the protection they can provide is very unstable.

Perhaps after strengthening it, the Prison of Shadows can gain more diversity.

Released from prison.

The ancient ruins guards did not continue to attack Bai Ye and the others, but looked at them several times, turned around and left, hanging themselves on the southeast branch.

In the past two days, I have been training continuously in the maze and fighting against the ancient ruins guards.

The reward points of the four beast masters increased rapidly at an extremely fast rate.

The only regret is that the treasure chests in several paths in the maze are all empty.

It seems that with the secret realm sealed, the maze has returned to its former silence...

Those tens of thousands of years of loneliness once again enveloped this maze.

The only difference is that there are more living people in the maze.

It adds a bit of excitement to the deserted ruins.

...

At this time, the outside world.

When the powerful flood swept across the entire pale plateau.

This magnificent spectacle immediately attracted the attention of many people.

And the story about the centuries-old flood legend on the Pale Plateau has also quietly spread.

At the northernmost end of the Pale Plateau, a crack in the sky separates the plateau from the land to the north from east to west.

Some rainwater overflowed from the end of the valley, turned into a waterfall along the cliffs, and poured into the depths of the cracks.

On the pale plateau and on the ground of the land to the north, an iron cable covered bridge hangs on the crack.

There are huts and pavilions on the covered bridge.

The covered bridge is very stable. Even if the wind is strong, the covered bridge only shakes slightly, and the amplitude of the shaking is undetectable.

A group of people led oxen and horses, like a caravan of carriages and horses, slowly passed through the covered bridge and entered the pale plateau.

There were probably hundreds of people in this team, carrying a large amount of cargo.

In addition to the attendants who looked like guards, there were also a group of people in the team who were dressed incompatibly with these people.

Most of these groups are young, only about ten people.

Although these people wore commoners and cotton-padded clothes, they also wore bone chains around their necks and special-style decorations such as bracelets with animal teeth or stones on their wrists.

"Hongshi, I heard that your tribe has lived on the Pale Plateau for thousands of years?"

On a carriage in the middle of the caravan, a young man in brocade clothes who was about the same age as the other dark-skinned young men asked curiously.

The other two teenagers on the carriage said quickly, "Yes, that's what my grandfather told me."

Another young man next to him seemed to look down on his companion for licking others like this, and turned his head to look out the window.

"I heard that your grandfather was the high priest of your tribe?"

"Yes, my grandfather is the high priest of the tribe, and Blackbird's father is the chief of the tribe."

Hongshi said and touched the black bird sitting next to him with his elbow.

Blackbird withdrew his gaze and looked at the young man in brocade, forcing a smile on his face and said, "My father is the clan leader. The things in your chamber of commerce are very popular with our clan. If he knows that you are willing to go there, he will definitely be very happy.

"

His tribe still relied heavily on interaction with the outside world for certain supplies, so Blackbird knew that this young man in brocade clothes was not someone he could offend.

The best result is to please him. It would be even better if the Chamber of Commerce's supplies can be sold to the tribe at a cheaper price.

"Haha, my aunt is responsible for the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. I don't care about these things."

The young man in brocade clothes said with a smile.

Seeing the disappointment in the eyes of the two teenagers, the young man in brocade didn't take it seriously. He came to the Pale Plateau this time. On the one hand, he was curious about what a once-in-a-hundred-year flood would be like. On the other hand, he also wanted to go out and explore with the Chamber of Commerce.

Since he was a child, he had heard and read many biographies and legends of famous adventurers.

I believe there is no young man who does not admire and envy their mysterious, unrestrained and extremely cool life.

The two classmates in the class heard that they came from primitive tribes deep in the mountains, and they heard that the custom of cannibalism was still maintained there.

Therefore, these two students are often ostracized and disliked by others in the class.

Because of this, he only used a few words and occasionally defended them, and easily gained their favor.

It was through this that he found an excuse to convince his father that he could follow the caravan into the Pale Plateau.

In the past, this pale plateau was extremely barren, with few extraordinary materials, thin element concentrations, and pitifully little oil and water compared to other areas.

But now with the arrival of the flood, the concentration of elements inside has become more concentrated, which is actually a good thing for their chamber of commerce.

As for the red stones and blackbirds native to the Pale Plateau, their value has naturally increased.

Three very rhythmic knocking sounds came from outside the carriage.

"What's the matter?" Khufu asked.

"Master, after passing the covered bridge, you will reach the Pale Plateau. Master, you reminded you before when we reached the Pale Plateau. Then Miss Hu Yue asked me to tell you that after arriving at the Pale Plateau, do not leave the caravan and try not to leave the carriage range.

.”

"Oh, I got it." Khufu's interest waned.

A few days passed, and it was very refreshing at first, but when the scenery outside the window was filled with heavy rain, it was a repetitive cloudy sky.

Khufu gradually lost interest in the Pale Plateau.

"The weather has been special recently, it's not usually like this." Hongshi muttered to himself.

He has never seen such bad nature, it was not like this before.

Although there would be heavy rains on the Pale Plateau in the past, it would never cover the entire plateau, which is definitely not normal.

For Khufu, the harsh weather here only made him lose interest in the Pale Plateau, but for Hongshi, the tribesmen who had accompanied him since childhood were living in this harsh environment.

"The tribe's terrain is very high, and nothing will happen." Blackbird said in a deep voice.

There was a sound outside the carriage team, and accompanied by a roar, a snake-like monster with wings on its back rushed towards the carriage team.

After a series of fierce battles, the beast master, who lost two guards, was able to repel the monster.

Just when the monster was about to retreat, a golden lightning bolt suddenly flew from the caravan and hit the monster.

The monster that was about to escape was knocked down and fell heavily to the ground.

"Catch him."

At the front of the team, a tall woman wearing a green cloak had her arms folded around her, highlighting her majestic chest.

Golden lightning circled twice in the sky, its feathers fell, and its wings folded.

Landing quietly on the woman's shoulder, it turned out to be a golden bird only half a meter tall. Even in the thick cloudy sky, it could not hide its light.

"Green-Winged Snake, a monster that is suspected to have become extinct on the Pale Plateau."

The woman said with great interest.

"Interesting, the suspected extinct monster has actually appeared again. If we take this green-winged snake out, we will definitely be able to sell it for a good price."

"Miss, should we continue moving forward or..." The housekeeper beside me asked softly for advice.

"Go on, I am the helm of the caravan now. If I don't say anything, the caravan will keep going as planned!" the woman said calmly.

"yes."

The woman chuckled, her red lips raised, like a cunning fox.

"When there is a flood on the plateau, the people who suffer the most are not us, but the tribes in the mountains. If we don't sell it for five or six times the price, we will be ashamed of this natural disaster."

Five days later, the caravan moved forward.

There were several birdsong in the woods ahead.

In the caravan, a man with dark skin and a wolfskin hat stepped forward, took out a bone flute from his arms and put it in his mouth.

Several similar bird calls came from the bone flute.

Two people jumped from a tree on the opposite hillside.

After coming over and matching the code, welcome the caravan into the valley.

"Khufu, this is the tribe that gave birth to me." Red Stone said to Khufu.

Khufu frowned slightly, this primitive tribe was...dirtier than he thought.

The ground was covered with muddy water, and there were no bluestones that paved the roads in towns.

The air was filled with the faint smell of feces. Khufu turned his head and saw some people not far away carrying buckets and pouring something into the fields.

Khufu suddenly hated that his eyesight was so good.

He raised his hand and covered his nose and mouth.

Hong Shi turned his head and saw Khufu's movements, and his expression froze.

Then he looked away and pretended not to see it.

"Young patriarch, we caught some outsiders from the direction of the forbidden area yesterday." A tall and thin man walked over quickly and said to the black bird.

Capture outsiders?

Khufu instantly thought of the rumors he had heard about some primitive tribes in the Pale Plateau cannibalizing people.

Could it be true!?

Blackbird noticed that Khufu was nearby and it was not appropriate to talk here, so he immediately walked away from the tall and thin man.

Looking at the back of the black bird, Khufu felt depressed in his heart, and his favorable impression of the red stone black bird and his tribe dropped a lot.

They are indeed a group of savages.

He immediately turned around and returned to the Chamber of Commerce.

He originally wanted to find his aunt, but when he returned, he heard the housekeeper say that his aunt had gone out to discuss the goods with the tribe leader.

Khufu immediately sat down bored, but he couldn't help but echo what Red Stone and Black Bird said in his mind.

The direction of the forbidden area, what is the forbidden area in their tribe's mouth.

Also, what did they do with the people they captured, and whether they really ate them as rumored.

After a while, Khufu heard his aunt's voice coming from outside.

He ran out quickly and hugged his aunt.

Putting a hand on his forehead, Hu Yue slowly pushed his nephew away.

Judging from the expression on her face, it can be seen that she is in a good mood at the moment.

"What's wrong? You have a dead dad expression." Hu Yue said leisurely, "If you have any unhappy things, tell me so that I can be happy."
