Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

At this time, the New Year had passed, and spring had arrived.

The streets should have been bustling with activity and prosperity.

However, after entering North Liang City, Gu Yuan quickly noticed that the atmosphere within the city was not right.

There were few pedestrians on the streets, and most of them did not have happy expressions on their faces, but rather were full of sorrow and slightly panicked.

He knew that something must have happened.

Gu Yuan went straight to Jade Cauldron Tower. When he arrived at the second floor of Jade Cauldron Tower, he did not see Old Chen.

Gu Yuan went to the other end of the second floor to hand over the task. Under Yang Han's somewhat surprised gaze, Gu Yuan briefly described the task.

Of course, he didn't tell the truth. He only said that the disappearance of those people was indeed related to the Qian family, and that in addition to the Qian family, the Green Bamboo Gang was also involved.

However, as a mere martial artist, he didn't dare to investigate too much, lest he incur a death penalty.

Yang Han didn't find it strange. Involving the Qian family and the Green Bamboo Gang was indeed not something that a mere Gu Yuan could participate in.

Gu Yuan's ability to investigate these things was already very surprising to him.

After settling the task, Gu Yuan went to the first floor and asked a few acquaintances for information, inquiring about what had happened recently.

Then, Gu Yuan learned a piece of news.

In the past few days, in North Liang City and even in the surrounding counties, many wild beasts had come down from the mountains, attacking the villages and towns at the foot of the mountains as if they were crazy.

Many innocent mountain people, hunters, and passers-by had died.

If it were just wild beasts, that would be fine, but there were even traces of monsters in the beast群. Even martial artists found it difficult to deal with them.

Anything called a 'monster' meant that it had broken away from the shackles of ordinary beasts, its intelligence had been improved, its strength was also quite strong, and it had even awakened demonic arts, which could only be dealt with by innate martial artists.

Many martial artists who took on the task of encircling and suppressing wild beasts died tragically in the mouths of monsters because of a lack of preparation.

As a result, it naturally caused huge losses and panic!

To this day, this matter has caused panic. Not only are the traveling merchants affected, but even the daily travel, work, and even eating of many ordinary people have become a problem.

"Wild beasts coming down from the mountains?!"

Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. After repeated inquiries, he learned that the villages attacked by wild beasts did not include Gu Family Village, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the appearance of the immortal palace deep in the Yunmeng Mountains immediately appeared in his mind.

The only thing that could cause such turmoil in the Yunmeng Mountains was probably this Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace!

Next, Gu Yuan had no intention of staying in Jade Cauldron Tower.

After he left North Liang City, he went straight to Gu Family Village.

At Gu Yuan's speed, it took less than half an hour to reach Gu Family Village.

It was just noon, and from outside the village, he could see wisps of smoke rising.

Gu Yuan was relieved, knowing that nothing major should have happened.

When he returned to his yard, his parents were eating.

Gu's father ate in silence, only caring about shoveling rice into his mouth.

Gu's mother was nagging on the side, her face unfriendly:

"Okay! Now that the family has money, you've become more promiscuous, haven't you... You even dare to provoke Widow Dong in the east of the village."

"You old fool, you're so old, you're really shameless!"

Gu's father couldn't help but retort: "Old woman, what are you thinking! I just lent Sister Dong some food, and you're saying it like this, aren't you ruining my reputation?"

Gu's mother sneered: "Lend food? Why doesn't she borrow food from others, but only from you? Isn't it because you old thing are lusting after her body!"

"Also, who borrows food like that, constantly throwing themselves into a man's arms? Look at you, you're even showing pity, aren't you?"

"I know this Widow Dong, she cries at the drop of a hat, looking pitiful. Don't you men like this kind of thing?"

"What are you thinking, I really just lent food..."

Gu's father's face turned red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to explain, but he was clumsy and couldn't argue with Gu's mother.

Before long, he was defeated and stopped arguing, eating in a dejected manner.

"Hmph, don't you have a point? Why aren't you talking?"

"Did I hit your nerve? Let me tell you, our Yuan is having a hard time learning martial arts in the city. If you old thing hold Yuan back or smear his name, I'll break your legs even if it costs me my life!"

Seeing that the two still had time to quarrel, Gu Yuan knew that they must be fine.

He just overheard a little, and his expression couldn't help but be a little strange.

He couldn't tell that his old man was so old, but he was still young at heart.

However, based on his understanding of his old man, Gu's father definitely didn't do anything excessive. Most likely, his old mother was taking the opportunity to show off her status and suppress some of his old man's little thoughts.

"Cough cough! Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

He deliberately shouted loudly, so that the two elders could be prepared, so as not to make everyone embarrassed.

Hearing Gu Yuan's voice, Gu's mother immediately stopped talking, and then pushed the door open to greet him as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Gu Yuan, she smiled and said: "My son is back, have you eaten? Mom will make you something delicious."

"No need, Mom. You guys quickly pack up your things. This time, I plan to take you to the city."

Gu Yuan talked about his purpose, and explained that many wild beasts had recently come down from the mountains to attack people.

This time, the two elders did not refuse, saying that they would all listen to Gu Yuan's arrangements.

They had also heard about the wild beasts attacking people. Even several nearby villages had experienced this kind of thing, and some people had been killed by wild beasts such as bears and wolves coming down from the mountains.

The old couple also knew that Gu Yuan was worried about their safety.

So, even though they were reluctant to leave their homeland, in order to avoid burdening Gu Yuan, they left without hesitation.

When the old couple was packing up, Gu Yuan seemed to remember something, and asked:

"By the way, Mom, what about Sun Zhong and his mother? Why don't we call them together too."

Gu Yuan didn't have much friendship with other people, and he didn't have a good impression of them. He was deeply impressed with Sun Zhong.

Saving two more people was just a matter of lifting a hand for him, and it didn't matter.

However, Gu's mother's answer surprised Gu Yuan:

"Sun Zhong is lucky. A few days ago, an immortal fell from the sky and said that Sun Zhong was destined for him. He took Sun Zhong as his disciple and took them away."

Falling from the sky and taking Sun Zhong as a disciple?

Gu Yuan was stunned.

He naturally knew that this was definitely not an immortal, but most likely a passing cultivator.

However, since he could fly in the sky and do this, he must be at least a Celestial Realm cultivator!

This kid Sun Zhong was lucky enough to be spotted by such an existence and taken as a disciple.

For Sun Zhong, who came from a poor mountain family, this was no less than leaping over the dragon gate!

But it's no wonder.

Gu Yuan had always suspected that Sun Zhong's physique was special or that he had some secrets on him.

Because every time A Huang, Big Mouth, and A Centipede approached Sun Zhong, they felt a little uncomfortable and vaguely fearful.

This was obviously not normal!

It was just that he had too little knowledge and too low strength, so it was difficult to detect anything.

Now it seems that the secret on Sun Zhong's body should have been discovered.

...

Gu's father and Gu's mother packed up their things in a short time, and Gu Yuan also rented a carriage from the city and came back.

He helped move some trivial sundries onto the carriage, and helped his parents into the car. Gu Yuan sat in front of the car, waving the whip, and drove away from Gu Family Village under the complicated gazes of some people.

The carriage left the village and headed towards North Liang City along the official road.

On the way, they also encountered some similar vehicles, but most of them were ox carts.

Basically, they were all dragging their families, old and young, obviously like Gu Yuan, they had noticed the danger, so the whole family went to the city to avoid disaster.

Compared to their own courtyard walls built of mountain stones and wood, North Liang City, with its high and thick city walls, was obviously safer, at least it could withstand the attack of wild beasts!

However, only a few people were able to make up their minds to leave their homes to avoid disaster. More people were reluctant to part with their original stable environment and the fields in their homes.

Step - step - step -

"Whoa..."

On the road, the yellow horse was pulling the car unhurriedly. Gu Yuan suddenly raised his head, pulled the reins, stopped the horse, and looked ahead.

He had sharp hearing and had already heard the sound of fighting coming from the front.

"Go ahead and take a look!"

Gu Yuan gave A Huang, who was hiding in the dark, a look, and A Huang immediately ran over in a puff of smoke.

...

"Quick! Kill them!"

"These beasts, they should all die!"

"Dad, be careful..."

On the side of the road, a fight was going on at this time.

One group was martial artists with knives and swords, and the other group was a pack of wolves!

A group of slender, agile and ferocious hungry wolves!

These wolves were not small, the smallest of them were like ponies, with sharp teeth, gray and yellow fur, and cooperated tacitly with each other. They had already bitten many people to death.

"Kill!"

Zhou Zhong waved a sharp axe, barely forcing a wolf back, but he had already been injured, with many places torn and bloody.

These wolves were exceptionally cunning, and knew the principle of retreating when the enemy advances and advancing when the enemy retreats.

When encountering fierce attacks, they would retreat, and when they found the enemy weak, they would come forward and bite frantically.

It was obvious that they wanted to consume everyone's physical strength!

People's physical strength was ultimately not as good as these wild beasts. Even though there were martial artists among them, they were only ordinary martial artists, and there was not even a martial artist in the Bone Refinement Realm.

Once their physical strength was exhausted, the consequences of facing these ferocious hungry wolves were predictable.

But he, they, could not retreat!

Because they were bringing their families with them.

If they retreated, their parents, wives, and children behind them would suffer!

"Ah ah ah..."

Before long, screams sounded. A martial artist was defeated and fell to the ground, surrounded by several hungry wolves who bit off pieces of flesh, wailing repeatedly, and the scene was terrible.

Many people watched with their eyes wide open, and Zhou Zhong also gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Cloak Axe!"

The sharp axe in his hand seemed to condense a huge force, and suddenly chopped down, splitting the head of the hungry wolf in front of him.

But as soon as this wolf fell to the ground, two more wolves pounced on him.

"My life is over!"

Seeing this, Zhou Zhong, who was exhausted and seriously injured, sighed, already a little desperate.
