Beast Familiarity Starts with Raising Cats

"It is said that the ancient empire built these ruins to cultivate envoys. Although it is difficult, the purpose is not just to kill the intruding envoys. They will not cross the area they guard." Luo Lan said happily.

He looked around and saw that there was a fork in the road, branching off to the left and right.

But no matter which direction, there seems to be no difference.

The passages on the left and right sides were cold and silent, with only the torches on the walls burning eternally.

Bai Ye turned around and waved goodbye to everyone outside the maze from a long distance away.

"Which way?" Luo Lan asked.

"Are you asking me?" Bai Ye was very surprised that he actually asked me, a novice who had never been to a maze, whether he was afraid that I would lead you into the pit.

"Newbies generally have better luck." Luo Lan said with a smile.

"What's the difference between the two roads? You've been to other similar ruins before, so you should have experience." Bai Ye knocked on the wall, and the hard bronze wall made a thick and dull echo.

"Each entrance has a corresponding end point, at least that's the case in the ancient ruins mazes I've been to," Luo Lan said. "In the process of leading to the end point, you will go through various tests, and you can get different levels of rewards through the tests.

."

"Every maze is laid out differently, so all I can tell you is my experience with the maze rules."

"My purpose is to subdue a beast. There should be a beast egg in the ancient ruins. However, this ruin is too old, so I'm not sure if there really is a beast egg." Luo Lan said seriously. "Except

I won’t take any money from you other than the beast eggs.”

"You choose a path."

"If men are on the left and women are on the right, then go to the left." Bai Ye said.

"Is this a common saying in your place?" This is the first time Luo Lan has heard of such a rule.

"It is a custom in our country that after a person dies, the husband and wife are buried together, with the man on the left and the woman on the right."

"..." Luo Lan was speechless, this is too unlucky!

The two walked more than a hundred meters to the right and turned a corner.

Ahead is another straight corridor.

There is a recessed space in the right front passage in the middle part of the corridor.

In the sunken space, there is a dark stone treasure box.

"...Is this for us?"

Bai Ye didn't expect that there was actually a treasure chest in the maze.

But Bai Ye's first reaction was whether this was a trap or a monster in the shape of a treasure chest.

"Open it. These treasure chests are rewards for us. We should be rewarded if we break in from the entrance."

Luo Lan asked Bai Ye to open the treasure box.

Bai Ye walked forward, avoiding the front of the treasure box, walked to the side and gently lifted it up.

Luo Lan narrowed his eyes, watched the lid of the treasure chest open, and took two steps forward.

He looked inside and found that it was empty, with no big objects.

That should be inside.

Bai Ye stood up from his crouching position and found something as big as a palm like a metal ingot at the bottom of the stone box.

"Do you know this thing?" Bai Ye asked.

"If I guessed correctly, this should be something used by the ancient empire to record information." Luo Lan said after thinking.

"Ancient empires liked to use metal. In their time, a large amount of metal was used in various items and buildings, and they utilized various metals to the extreme. This was their style."

Bai Ye wrapped the metal ingot in clothes and took it out of the box.

This metal ingot should be solid and somewhat heavy.

Bai Ye didn't hold it firmly with five fingers. He accidentally slipped on his palm, and the metal ingot "scattered" in an instant!

From a metal ingot, it became a book made of countless extremely thin metal sheets.

"This should be a book that records ancient imperial texts." Luo Lan said excitedly.

Bai Ye looked at the content recorded above.

The text on it felt a bit familiar to Bai Ye, a bit like oracle bone inscriptions.

"Do you know the words on this?" Bai Ye asked.

"I have learned a little bit. The ancient imperial language is not complicated. It is similar to the common language of the mainland. Many ambassadors know it. This is also a language that a real adventure ambassador needs to master." Luo Lan said.

"I understand what you mean." Bai Ye interrupted Luo Lan.

"If you don't understand the language of the ancient empire and don't know the characters when you encounter such ruins, it will be very troublesome, right?" Bai Ye said.

"Hahaha." Luo Lan gave a thumbs up, "You're smart, you can answer it quickly."

Bai Ye shook his head. He felt a little emotional, and suddenly felt that the imperial emissary was a terrifying profession.

It’s just about learning professional knowledge, you also need to learn other languages.

Bai Ye couldn't help but think of the days when he used to learn foreign languages.

It seems that no matter what world you are in, it is very hard to work hard.

"But... I remember it seems that I can cheat." Bai Ye said, "Back then, I just put the lingua franca directly between my eyebrows and learned it using my mental power to communicate. There should be similar tools for the ancient imperial writings, right?"

"Yes, but I don't have it," Luo Lan said. "As long as you can spend a certain amount of money outside, you can learn this language from specialized shops."

As if afraid that Bai Ye would misunderstand, Luo Lan explained seriously, "Do you know what that page is made of?"

Bai Ye shook his head.

Luo Lan continued: "That is a kind of beast called the Book of Knowledge. They have a skill that allows them to take out a piece of knowledge they have learned and record it in a book using their own pages as a carrier.

But there is a rule, that is, their skills can only carry one piece of knowledge. If the common language of the mainland is selected, all subsequent pages generated can only be in the common language of the mainland.

Therefore, generally speaking, the knowledge extracted from the pages of the book of knowledge is universal and best-selling knowledge, and the most popular ones are the pages that record the common language of mainland China."

Books of knowledge are usually kept by merchant families or academies with special envoys.

I heard that this kind of beast has a weird temper and is difficult to take care of.

"There is also a rumor, I don't know if it is true or not. It is said that the Book of Knowledge is a kind of beast created by the ancient empire."

"Create a beast?" Bai Ye was surprised. This was too ridiculous.

"I heard that the ancient empire created more than one kind of beast. It is said that the ancient empire created a kind of metal life that can feed on metal, which is close to elemental life." Luo Lan said some rumors he had heard.

But they are just rumors. It is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.

Those pubs are always full of people who like to drink and brag.

You can hear all kinds of legends and epic stories from their mouths. In fact, they may be ordinary people who have never been able to leave the city they live in.

Luo Lan read the content on the metal ingot.

Submit it to Bai Ye.

"What is recorded here is a method of cultivating an advanced beast called the red-tailed hyena, which can be advanced into a ferocious hyena. The value is immeasurable. If sold outside, it can be exchanged for at least a high-level treasure."

"If the monsters recorded here have become extinct or become extremely rare, the remaining cultivation method will only have reference value. But I remember that the red-tailed hyena is not extinct, and there are a lot of them on the White Skeleton Plain."
