Zhuang Hong slept quite comfortably this time, and no void spirit appeared to disturb him in the middle of the night.
When he woke up, Xiaobai put away his fierce expression, ran to Zhuang Hong's feet and squatted down, wagging his tail crazily for praise.
Zhuang Hong reached out and touched its head: "Xiao Bai, you're doing a good job, keep up the good work."
Xiaobai jumped up and down with excitement, and felt the increasingly alluring smell coming from Zhuang Hong's body. He came to Zhuang Hong's feet and smelled them, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick them.
If you can't eat delicious meat, you can always lick it, right?
Zhuang Hong immediately kicked Xiaobai away and cursed: "I just complimented you and you want to eat me?"
Xiao Bai, the spirit of the void who wants to eat his flesh every day, would have been eaten up by him long ago if he didn't have some use for it.
"Woo~" Xiaobai said that he just wanted to lick.
Not long after Zhuang Hong woke up, Yin Zizhong also woke up from trance.
As soon as he woke up, Yin Zizhong jumped up excitedly: "It's great. I have successfully condensed a tiger-shaped steel seal. As long as I find a tiger partner, I can become a powerful animal trainer."
Qiao Hongxin, who had been guarding Zhuang Hong and Yin Zizhong, heard this and said in disbelief: "In less than two days, you have successfully condensed the tiger-shaped steel seal?"
The structure of each steel seal is extremely complex. If you want to use your mental power to completely condense a steel seal, it usually takes an extremely long time to build it slowly, completing a little bit every day until it is completely condensed and complete.
This time varies from five days to a month, depending on each individual.
But like Yin Zizhong, he condensed one in less than two days, which shows how strong his talent is.
Yin Zizhong has long been accustomed to others' admiration and misunderstanding. Hearing this, he said happily: "The time to condense the steel seal is not critical. What I am happy about is that I also have a steel seal, and I will soon be able to become an animal tamer!"
At this time, Zhuang Hong reminded: "Zizhong, your talent is indeed good, but you must learn to hide your clumsiness and don't expose your talent completely easily. Generally, it is enough to show it at 60 to 70%, otherwise you will easily be jealous of others."
Yin Zizhong looked serious and immediately agreed: "I understand, master. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
Then he asked: "Master, have you completed the condensation of the steel seal?"
Zhuang Hong nodded and said: "Yes, all three steel seals were condensed in a short time, and I even had a good sleep."
Yin Zizhong: "As expected of my master, he is really awesome!"
Qiao Hongxin: "..."
She always felt that something was not right.
However, she has a big heart and doesn't like to think about these small details. After seeing Zhuang Hong and both of them waking up, she immediately said: "Let's go to Lingjiang City together. You can go with me on my Black Spot. This will save you money." It’s a lot of walking, and don’t you want to contract a pet beast? My black spot has a keen sense. If you encounter a suitable beast on the way, I can help you catch it.”
The Panther is huge and can carry more than three people.
With the addition of three pieces of gold, Qiao Hongxin had a very good attitude towards Zhuang Hong and didn't mind Zhuang Hong riding on her pet beast.
Yin Zizhong was very moved when he heard that Qiao Hongxin could help find the pet beast, but he still looked at Zhuang Hong and left it up to Zhuang Hong.
Zhuang Hong pointed casually in the direction of the sensed 'other and me': "Is the Lingjiang City you want to go in that direction?"
After carefully distinguishing it, Qiao Hongxin nodded and said, "It's probably in that direction."
"Well, let's go together. Maybe my destination is also Lingjiang City."
…
The ash virus spreads from the northwest along the vast tracts of forest and grassland. In various places, people are organized to dig out wide isolation belts. However, this can only slightly delay the spread of ash. In the end, it cannot stop the trend of ash sweeping the entire world.
Affected by the spread of ashes, all kinds of beasts that originally lived in the forest left their original living places and fled eastward, forming a tide of beasts of different sizes.
These scurrying beasts have greatly impacted the areas where humans live, making people's lives increasingly difficult. A large number of people began to migrate and flee, trying to find new homes.
However, this disaster is worldwide. Where can we escape to a safe place?
In a disaster, no one can really escape. The only difference is who will die first.
What Zhuang Hong and others saw along the way were various disaster movies, including natural disasters and man-made disasters.
In the face of this kind of disaster, sometimes people are more terrifying than the Ash Disease.
But Zhuang Hong is alone in such an environment. No matter how powerful he is, there is nothing he can do. He can only hope that the source of the ashes can be found in the future and completely removed.
Along the way, Zhuang Hong and others also encountered a variety of ferocious beasts, including some huge bulls with sharp horns, which were suitable for contracting as pets.
But when Zhuang Hong and Yin Zizhong saw that these ferocious bulls were covered in dirt and parasites, they immediately looked down upon them and wanted to wait for a more suitable tiger or leopard to appear.
Moreover, compared to the fierce bull, the tiger and leopard are more flexible and can adapt to various terrains, making them more suitable as pets and mounts.
On this day, Zhuang Hong and the others were riding on the back of a black-spotted leopard when they suddenly heard a powerful roar coming from the forest not far away.
The three people's eyes lit up at the same time.
"It's a tiger roaring! There might be a tiger over there."
Qiao Hongxin immediately controlled the black-spotted leopard to go in the direction of the tiger's roar.
After a while, Zhuang Hong saw a huge tiger holding a spotted deer in its mouth, staring at them warily, its whole body tensed up as if ready to go, and a threatening sound came from its throat.
This tiger is more than three meters tall and looks two times bigger than Qiao Hongxin's black-spotted leopard. The red and yellow hair on its body is smooth, fluffy and shiny, and there is a huge "king" on its forehead, which makes it look majestic.
Zhuang Hong chuckled: "Then this tiger belongs to me temporarily. You guys wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."
Although Qiao Hongxin knew that Zhuang Hong had magical and powerful skills, she still couldn't help but ask: "Don't you need my help?"
"No, I can do it myself."
After that, he jumped down from the black-spotted leopard and walked toward the tiger.
"Roar!"
The majesty of the tiger seemed to have been strongly provoked. He let go of the deer hanging in his mouth and walked slowly towards Zhuang Hong. For a moment, the domineering aura of the king of the forest leaked out in all directions.
But before the tiger could pounce on Zhuang Hong, Zhuang Hong pulled him casually.
"Uh-huh!"
A large number of thin threads emerged from the tiger's body, and in a blink of an eye, it was tightly entangled, and no matter how hard the tiger struggled, it could not break free.
Like a weak mosquito accidentally bumping into a spider web.
The tiger was confused. It had obviously not seen any spider webs before, right?
Qiao Hongxin was once again stunned by Zhuang Hong's operation, and immediately believed Yin Zizhong's words, thinking that Zhuang Hong was indeed capable of magic.
But what she couldn't figure out was, with such magical and powerful power, why would she want to become an animal trainer?
She couldn't help but turned around and asked Yin Zizhong next to her: "Are you studying magic at Brother Genzhuanghong?"
Yin Zizhong said very proudly: "Of course, he is my master after all. I will learn the real skills from my master, and then become a great beast taming master, and completely get rid of the raging Ash Disease. I will definitely be as powerful as my master in the future .”
Qiao Hongxin murmured: "I also want to learn..."
She suddenly thought of something, took out a piece of gold given to her by Zhuang Hong from her arms, and asked Yin Zizhong: "You said that if I use gold to pay tuition for Brother Zhuang Hong, will he teach me?"
Yin Zizhong: "Here... why don't you try it with a piece of gold."
While Qiao Hongxin and Yin Zizhong were chatting, Zhuang Hong had already arrived in front of the tiger. Ignoring the tiger's ferocious, cold, and bloodthirsty gaze, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the tiger's head.
The next step is to imprint the 'tiger-shaped beast steel seal' in the sea of consciousness into the tiger's head and completely tame it into his pet beast.
"Roar--"
The tiger seemed to realize that the danger was coming and suddenly started struggling violently.
But its struggle in front of Zhuang Hong was useless except to express anger and weakness.
Zhuang Hong closed his eyes slightly, mobilized his mental power, and followed the method taught by Qiao Hongxin, carrying a copied steel seal of the beast and pouring it into the tiger's head.
When the mental power entered the tiger's brain, Zhuang Hong clearly felt a violent and domineering mental power impact, trying to smash the steel seal of his mental beast.
However, the tiger's mental power is too weak, not even as good as an ordinary child. If the tiger's mental power is compared to a ball of randomly flowing water, scattered and soft, then Zhuang Hong's mental power is like a solid stone. The power cannot be shaken at all.
As soon as Zhuang Hong gathered his mental power, he ignored the tiger's interference and drove straight in, quickly reaching the tiger's core brain.
The next step is the crucial step, which is to use the butterfly-shaped beast steel seal to accurately wrap the tiger's entire brain. Different mental power symbols correspond to different positions, and no large errors are allowed.
The purpose of this is to use the spiritual beast steel seal to control or even replace the tiger's self-awareness, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the tiger.
As long as the imprint of the steel seal is completed, signals can be transmitted to control the tiger's various actions through the connection of mental power.
To put it simply, it is to use Zhuang Hong's mental power to replace the tiger's consciousness.
The dove occupies the magpie's nest.
Zhuang Hong used thin silk to suppress the tiger, and then began to brand the beast with the steel seal.
…
Qiao Hongxin sat on the black-spotted leopard, watching Zhuang Hong's actions, and said blankly: "Brother Zhuang Hong... seems to be contracting a pet beast..."
Yin Zizhong asked: "Yes, of course you will make a contract directly after catching the beast. Isn't this normal?"
Qiao Hongxin: "No, it's not normal at all. Usually, the contract is started after the beast is knocked unconscious, because when the beast is awake, the contract cannot be made at all. The beast's consciousness will break the steel seal."
Yin Zizhong immediately wanted to remind Zhuang Hong, but Qiao Hongxin quickly stopped him: "Don't interrupt the contract process. Brother Zhuang Hong will retreat when he sees difficulties."
