Just when the fingers in the stone house were less than an inch away from Nie Xiaoli's eyes, the fingers suddenly stopped.
The dark nails of those fingers were only a stone's throw away from Nie Xiaoli's eyeballs.
Nie Xiaoli seemed to see a pair of smart eyes.
Liu Xin ducked to Nie Xiaoli's side and pushed her away.
At the same time, the finger immediately retracted.
Liu Xin drew out his Tao-breaking sword and was terrified.
"What's going on?" Li Sixiang asked.
This series of changes were so fast that he had no reaction.
After he asked the question, he immediately realized what the problem was.
"Is it that beast!"
Li Sixiang couldn't help but feel a little scared. He had known that the beast was a little different, so he was careful, but he almost made a mistake.
"Xiaoli, are you okay?"
Liu Xin asked.
Nie Xiaoli shook her head. She didn't understand. There was nothing wrong with her. Why did Master and Uncle Li look like they were facing a formidable enemy?
"It's okay!"
Liu Xin rubbed Nie Xiaoli's head, turned around, and said to Li Sixiang:
"Senior Li, what kind of beast is this?"
Li Sixiang glanced at the small window and sealed it again.
Then he said:
"This is a cross between a mandrill and a macaque. Its mother is a powerful macaque, and its individual strength is comparable to that of a low-grade Dachengjing!
It inherits both the physique of a mandrill and the agility of a macaque.
In addition, these two kinds of apes are extremely intelligent.
It is even smarter in this generation.
This little mandrill is only two years old, but its intelligence is no less than that of a seven or eight-year-old human child. "
"Master, it just glanced at me. I feel like it can understand me. I can also understand its meaning. It wants me to take it away."
Nie Xiaoli said.
Liu Xin almost forgot about his apprentice Qimai [Beast Heart]
Probably able to communicate with the beast at the most basic level.
Liu Xin found Li Sixiang looking at her with envy.
This kind of talent is simply a dream for the disciples of the Beast Control Sect.
After concentrating for a moment, Liu Xin did not sheath the Dao-Breaking Sword, but asked:
"Xiaoli, are you sure it's not malicious?"
Nie Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.
"Master, I can read its mind."
"In this case, that's enough!"
Liu Xin made a decision and said to Li Sixiang on the side:
"Senior Li, please open the chains here!"
Li Sixiang hesitated.
"This mandrill is extremely smart. If he is released rashly, something will happen to him."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Junior brother, you should have a way to set up an Internet cafe here."
Linghu Shiheng smiled calmly: "There is no problem!"
Seeing that the two of them were very confident, Li Sixiang still felt a little hesitant.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, uncle Linghu said, it's all up to my master to order the beast today!"
Li Sixiang thought for a while after hearing this. Since it was his sect leader who said it, he would not insist on it.
He took out a large bunch of keys from his arms and stepped forward to unlock them one by one.
Soon all the seven or eight large iron chains tied horizontally and vertically were loosened.
A stone door appeared.
Liu Xin held the Dao-Breaking Sword, and Linghu Shiheng followed closely behind.
"It turns out he's a senior uncle, not a senior brother."
Nie Xiaoli looked at Linghu Shiheng's back and said.
Liu Xin stepped forward and opened the stone door without any hesitation.
Linghu Shiheng stood behind Liu Xin with his hands on his hands and did not move at all.
The stone door was opened. This stone door had probably been closed for some time.
When the stone door was opened, lime kept falling.
"If you want to come out, then come out!"
Liu Xin shouted into the stone house.
Because the stone house is not big, there are constant echoes.
Liu Xin waited for a long time, but did not see the mandrill coming out, so he smiled slightly and took a few steps back to make way for a passage.
Just after he stepped back, a thin and hairy black hand that looked like a human hand grabbed the edge of the stone door.
The next moment, a gray ape about three feet tall leaned out.
There is gray hair on its head, and the hair is very long, just like a woman's long hair.
Its eyes were hidden under the gray hair, so Liu Xin couldn't see clearly, but with a little light shining through the gaps, Liu Xin could feel that it was quite intelligent.
"Xiaoli!"
Liu Xin called out, and Nie Xiaoli immediately jumped to Liu Xin's side.
This mandrill was obviously still wary. Although it was clinging to the edge of the door of the stone house, it could retreat back to the stone house at any time.
It should still be in good spirits, and there are no stains on its hair, just a layer of lime.
She must have never been abused before.
Even so, it was still very afraid of Liu Xin and Linghu Shiheng, especially Linghu Shiheng.
Linghu Shiheng had used methods before, but even Liu Xin was only slightly aware of it, but could not know the specific methods used by the other party.
Liu Xin could feel it, and Mandrill seemed to have noticed it too.
But when Linghu Shiheng arranged his methods, the mandrill had not yet left the stone house.
This keen perception is truly unmatched by humans.
Liu Xin took a few steps back, and based on his previous judgment on the mandrill's speed, he retreated to a distance that he could reach with one sword.
Liu Xin signaled Linghu Shiheng to retreat further. Linghu Shiheng nodded and retreated. His method had been arranged. Even if he retreated far away, he could still trigger it.
Nie Xiaoli came to the stone house and looked up at the mandrill on the edge above the door frame.
"Can you show me your face?"
Nie Xiaoli is a beauty person, if she doesn't look good, she won't choose it.
The mandrill could understand Nie Xiaoli's words. After hesitating for a moment, it stretched out its black palm and slowly opened its gray hair, revealing a face that was much smaller than that of a human.
Although the face is relatively small, the facial features are similar to those of humans, especially the eyes full of wisdom.
Already no different from ordinary people.
"Ah, they are indeed beautiful eyes. I had an idea just now, but I didn't even see them clearly."
Nie Xiaoli said in surprise.
Nie Xiaoli stepped forward tentatively as she spoke. Mandrill did not dodge, but looked at Nie Xiaoli curiously.
"It's okay, I won't hurt you.
The method of the Beast Control Sect is not to enslave you, but to cooperate with you.
We will be partners from now on, and you can choose to leave at any time. "
Nie Xiaoli saw that the mandrill was getting closer and closer, exceeding Liu Xin's safety range. Just when Liu Xin was about to take a step forward, the mandrill turned his head and looked at Liu Xin.
If the mandrill is a beauty, then this action is playful and cute.
Unfortunately not.
The mandrill's facial features are similar to those of humans, but there are differences after all. The two fangs are sharp and the lips protrude slightly from the upper jaw.
After discovering Liu Xin's intention, Mandrill bared his teeth slightly.
"It's okay, it's okay! That's my master, the best man in the world. He will buy you food. What do you like to eat? Do you want to eat fruit?"
Nie Xiaoli still approached the mandrill at a constant speed.
Seeing that Liu Xin made no further movements, Mandrill turned his head back and looked at Nie Xiaoli seriously.
It seemed a little puzzling why it could understand Nie Xiaoli's words.
Nie Xiaoli can also understand its thinking.
"Because I can understand your thoughts!" Nie Xiaoli said with a smile. At this time, she was already close to the mandrill and reached out to touch its hair.
But because she is short, the door edge of the stone house is very high, and the mandrill is lying on the door edge. Nie Xiaoli can't reach it even if she steps on it.
The mandrill's tail was hanging down, but Nie Xiaoli knew that it couldn't be touched casually, just like a human's private parts.
Only the closest ones can touch each other's tails.
Mandrill noticed Nie Xiaoli's embarrassment and actually jumped down from the edge of the door, landing extremely lightly.
If it wasn't visible to the naked eye, Liu Xin couldn't even hear any sound.
Mandrill had completely different attitudes towards Nie Xiaoli than towards them.
Faced with Nie Xiaoli's touch, Mandrill showed great enjoyment.
Nie Xiaoli was a little surprised by the softness of the mandrill's hair.
She had never thought that the mandrill's fur was as soft as a cat's.
She likes petting cats the most.
"Let's go, we don't need this anymore."
Liu Xin watched for a moment, then turned to Linghu Shiheng and Li Sixiang.
Their presence here will only affect Nie Xiaoli's progress in conquering the mandrill.
The mandrills were obviously more wary of them.
"Is everything going to be okay?" Li Sixiang hesitated.
Linghu Shiheng said: "It's okay, let's not go far, just stay out of the mandrill's perception range. And with the means I have arranged, the distance is enough!"
The three of them came to the ground and looked down at the stone house below.
Nie Xiaoli was already sitting side by side with Mandrill.
Mandrill would look around cautiously from time to time, while Nie Xiaoli would comfort her.
Liu Xin just watched this scene quietly.
Until evening, Nie Xiaoli stood up and held Mandrill's hand.
One man and one beast came together. Under Nie Xiaoli's comfort, the mandrill at least did not show any hostility towards Liu Xin and others, but he was still quite wary.
"Master, Master..." When calling Linghu Shiheng, Master, Nie Xiaoli stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed about the previous title.
"And Uncle Li, from now on, A Xin will be my companion."
Nie Xiaoli turned her head and said to Mandrill:
"A Xin, I've met the master, uncle, and uncle Li!"
Mandrill hesitated for a moment, and then he cupped his hands towards Liu Xin and Linghu Shiheng.
But for Li Sixiang, it was somewhat resistant.
"What's wrong?"
Nie Xiaoli asked with concern.
Liu Xin felt that his head was full of black lines and couldn't help but ask:
"Why call him A Xin?"
Nie Xiaoli immediately replied in a panic:
"Master, you...don't think too much.
It’s called Axin because that’s its new name...”
Nie Xiaoli seemed a little flustered and her eyes were averted. Linghu Shiheng, for the sake of the former calling him uncle, opened his mouth to help her out and said:
"What my nephew means is that Mandrill will have a new life and a new identity, so he will naturally have a new name. He deserves to be called A Xin!"
"Yes, yes!" Nie Xiaoli nodded, looking at Linghu Shiheng with gratitude in her eyes.
Linghu Shiheng was actually laughing from ear to ear.
How could Ah Xin, Ah Xin, have nothing to do with Liu Xin's name?
Pfft haha!
I am a veteran, and I can no longer show it openly.
Linghu Shiheng forced to suppress his laughter.
At the same time it feels like you have accomplished an achievement.
Among the senior brothers, he was the first to become a junior uncle, completing a magnificent upgrade in seniority.
This is completely different from that group of boys.
Liu Xin naturally knew his apprentice's little thoughts, but he didn't care.
The mandrill chirped twice, the sound was crisp and pleasant to hear.
After hearing this, Nie Xiaoli frowned slightly and looked at Liu Xin with a hint of pleading.
Liu Xin immediately knew that this little mandrill was starting to make conditions, but what could have happened to our little apprentice?
Liu Xin is now quite aware of himself as a master, and at the same time he has taken on the responsibility.
"Master~"
"Go ahead and get straight to the point!"
Liu Xin interrupted Nie Xiaoli's coquettish mode.
I haven’t heard it before and I don’t want to hear it now.
After Nie Xiaoli looked serious, she said directly:
"The mandrill said it had a younger brother who was still in the black valley.
It's gone, and its brother is in danger.
Master~
Let's go and rescue his brother too! "
"Black valley?" Liu Xin looked thoughtfully at Li Sixiang.
Li Sixiang shook his head and said:
"I came here with the sect leader to do business this time, and I don't know where the beasts here come from.
The beasts here are all under the responsibility of my deputy sect leader. "
"Senior Dugu Naruto?" Liu Xin asked tentatively.
Li Sixiang nodded immediately, with curiosity in his eyes.
"Young Master Liu actually knows about my deputy sect leader.
Ever since he joined our Beast Control Sect, he has been in the deep mountains and old forests of various places. He has not been seen in the world for a long time. I didn't expect that someone would still remember him. "
Liu Xin nodded and vaguely recalled the matter.
"The sect master went out today to greet the deputy sect master. I think it's time to come back at this time."
Li Sixiang looked towards the middle door. Unexpectedly, at this glance, two figures walked out of the moon door.
"Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master!" Li Sixiang said with some surprise.
Liu Xin raised his eyes and carefully looked at the attribute panels of the two people.
The key point is the comparison between Linghu Jade and Rat.
He was deeply impressed by the rat's combat power value of more than 60,000.
The average high-grade Dachengjing is estimated to have this value.
Although the value on the attribute panel is just a reference, it also shows how powerful the rat is.
Especially combat ability.
Rat was actually able to increase its combat ability by 50%.
It's terrifying.
Liu Xin put Linghuyu's attribute panel to the back, so as not to surprise himself, for fear of affecting his judgment of strength.

Faction: Neutral]
Linghu Naruto's attributes are actually higher than those of Rat, but his combat power is far inferior to Rat.
But it is also above the horizontal line, able to exert more than 100% and close to 120% of the strength.
The final combat power is much different than that of rats.
Even if he is above the Dacheng realm and is one of the twin stars of the Dugu family, such a talented person, the rat can still beat him.
However, Dugu Naruto's attribute panel is only his personal combat power.
Don't forget, Li Sixiang just said that Dugu Naruto has gained many powerful beast-controlling companions just from the mountains in these years.
Its true combat power is absolutely superb.
Maybe not much worse than the real rat.
But real combat is not a competition based on data.
Sure enough, Liu Xin had seen the rat's heaven-defying panel, and then looked at Dugu Naruto's. In fact, this attribute panel was amazing enough, but Liu Xin had no interest in it.
Turning his head, he looked at Linghuyu's attribute panel.
Once upon a time, the first attribute panel that amazed Liu Xin was his.
I don’t know what kind of surprise I will get this time.

The beasts come out to compete with the master!
Faction: Comrades]
The first person to surprise Liu Xin was indeed the same.
Liu Xin was shocked again.
Compared with Dugu Naruto, Linghu Yu's basic attributes are even inferior.
But in terms of combat ability, Linghu Yu can actually explode twice as much combat power.
This also shows that Linghuyu's beast control is very powerful, at least it is at the high-grade Dacheng realm.
Among the skills he is good at, it is specially noted that Linghu Yu has eight beasts to control.
But Linghuyu didn't see any powerful beasts around him.
Could it be that his beast-control companion is not near him, or is he as intelligent as Nie Xiaoli's mandrill?
Thinking of this, Liu Xin suddenly felt blessed and looked up.
With his eyesight, he finally caught a small black spot in the air. The black spot was extremely fast and kept spinning back and forth at an extremely high altitude.
Linghuyu noticed Liu Xin's action, looked up vaguely, and thought to himself:
"The bird flies so high, can you even see it?"
Liu Xin lowered his head, secretly surprised.
That height is at least a thousand feet.
What bird can fly so high and so fast?
Even though they were so far apart, Liu Xin could only follow him as a blurry shadow.
Secretly shocked, Linghuyu and Dugu Naruto had already arrived in front of everyone.
Linghuyu looked at Nie Xiaoli with a wary expression, especially towards Dugu Naruto, with a hint of fear and anger.
