A moment later, in the small courtyard behind the mountain.
Even though the spirit beasts had been tossing around shamelessly for two days, the small courtyard was still clean and tidy, but there was an indescribable smell in the air.
Xingyue and Dalang were eating kebabs with Feifei and Maomao in the stone pavilion without speaking to each other, waiting for Jia Chao's arrival.
When Jia Chao walked in and looked at the already clean courtyard, he felt a complicated feeling of regaining what was lost.
He went straight to the stone pavilion and sat down next to Xingyue. The first words he spoke were directed at Feifei and Maomao.
"Let your little brothers be careful from now on. Don't go to my main courtyard to do things. It's too annoying!"
Centipede Maomao couldn't make a sound, but Squirrel Feifei was different. He waved his short paws and protested to Jia Chao, to the effect that they were the masters of this place.
Jia Chao rubbed his temples and said to it: "Speak, I am an animal whisperer and can understand you!"
"If you don't like it, get out of the back mountain!" Feifei and Maomao said to Jia Chao in unison.
Jia Chao: "Do you think that now that Boss Yanlong has left, you will be the kings of this back mountain?"
Feifei looked at Maomao with a grin, and then actually jumped back out of the stone pavilion.
At this time, several stone walls suddenly stretched out from the ground around the stone pavilion, trapping Jia Chao and Dalang in the pavilion.
Jia Chao looked at Maomao again, only to find that the big centipede sank directly into the stone table and disappeared.
At this time, Feifei was heard shouting outside:
"How dare you call yourself uncle? I'll give you one day to think about it, surrender, or die in it!"
Jia Chao relayed Feifei's words to Xingyue speechlessly, and Xingyue showed a cruel smile after hearing this.
She took a step forward, raised her right hand into a fist, and then a blazing heat was generated on the surface of the fist.
The next second, she swung out her fist, and the thick stone wall was punched through like paper.
Through the big hole in the stone wall, Jia Chao saw the frightened expression on Feifei's face outside, and couldn't help but feel a little gloating.
In the past, when Xingyue had not awakened the power of elements, she could fight back and forth with Maomao's stone men. Now that she is a blue-level elemental warrior, how can such a stone wall stop her?
At this time, Xingyue and Dalang transformed into elements at the same time, and instantly exited the stone pavilion through the hole.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of fighting outside, as if Dalang and Xingyue were fighting against a large number with a small number.
This embarrassed Jia Chao. As the core of the team and an animal whisperer, he was left in the stone pavilion.
It's not that he doesn't want to follow Dalang and Xingyue out, but that he has fallen to the pink level and cannot mobilize any elemental power at all.
This is very painful!
He could use his god-level inheritance to cast the Ten Thousand Swords Technique and the Great Blessing Technique, but he could not transform his body into elements, which forced him to stay in the stone pavilion.
About ten or twenty minutes later, the sound of fighting outside gradually became weaker.
When it finally became quiet outside, the stone walls surrounding the stone pavilion suddenly disappeared.
Jia Chao raised his eyes and looked around.
Good guy! All kinds of spiritual beasts were lying on the ground!
Maomao and Feifei were no longer skinny, they both stood upright and stood in front of Xingyue, as polite as they could be.
Jia Chao scratched his head and came to stand next to Xingyue sheepishly.
At this time Xingyue pointed at Maomao, "Get me a stone chair!"
Maomao looked at Jia Chao, who immediately translated it, and immediately there was a stone chair behind Xingyue.
Xingyue sat down domineeringly, leaning on the back of the chair and staring at the squirrel and centipede in front of her.
At this time, Feifei suddenly seemed to be enlightened, holding up his short paw and chirping.
Jia Chao immediately translated with Xingyue: "Feifei said it agrees with you taking over the position of Yanlong's boss, and swears allegiance to you!"
When Jia Chao said this, his tone was so humble that he didn't sound like a great chief at all.
At this moment, Maomao also danced and spoke. The meaning it expressed was similar to Feifei, so Jia Chao simplified it.
"Maomao said it was the same!"
Xingyue nodded after hearing this and glanced at the spiritual beasts in the yard.
Those spirit beasts were injured and unconscious. When Xingyue glanced at them, those who were not unconscious immediately ran to Maomao and Huihui and lay down behind them.
"They are the same!" Jia Chao translated after listening to these poor spiritual beasts wailing for a while.
Only then did Xingyue say: "That's good! Tell them, they will follow me from now on! If anything happens, Dalang will arrange it!"
After saying this, Xingyue stood up and left the courtyard with a straight face.
Jia Chao looked at Xingyue's back with full aura, feeling a little dazed.
This girl completely changed when she faced these spiritual beasts from the back mountain!
She actually has the air of a superior queen!
He pulled Dalang over and asked him, "What happened just now?"
Dalang glanced at the small courtyard, then spread his hands and said:
"I don't know! I was having an inseparable fight with Maomao just now, and I didn't see anything!"
Jia Chao pointed at the spiritual beasts all over the yard, "What about them?"
Dalang: "It's all settled by Xingyue! Including Feifei."
Jia Chao: "..."
I always feel that... there is something about Xingyue that I don't know!
He let out a long breath, and then asked the spirit beasts to line up and come to him.
Although the level has been lowered, soul power healing can still be used, and it is not very laborious to heal these spiritual beasts.
After all the spirit beasts were treated, Jia Chao looked at Feifei and Maomao and asked:
"How's it going? Do you still want to fight?"
"No more fighting!" Feifei and Maomao said in unison.
Jia Chao nodded and took them together to discuss the ownership of the Yanshi Mountains.
In fact, Feifei and Maomao were defeated, and more than half of the task of taking back the Flame Stone Mountains was completed.
Because the back mountain has the blessing left by the ancestors of Yanshan, most of the spirit beasts in the entire Yanshi Mountains gather in the back mountain.
As for the beast kings who occupy other mountains, most of them have not actually obtained the power of elements.
So the next thing was simple. Dalang took Feifei and Maomao to patrol the mountains. In two days, they found the spiritual beasts in the seven mountains and held a meeting.
Just like the policy Jia Chao set at the beginning, negotiate first, and then fight if agreement cannot be reached.
So this meeting went very smoothly, except that when Jia Chao got up one morning, he found that the animal spirit mark on his chest had turned orange again.
It seems that Dalang is really a decisive rabbit!
Since he didn't visit the scene in person, Jia Chao didn't know how many beast king-level beings he had killed to advance himself to another level.
However, he knew that even with Tiandao's commission, it would be easy to upgrade the pink level to the green level, otherwise Heye and Xingyue would not have reached the green level so quickly.
The real difficulty is going from the green level to the blue level.
As for going from blue level to gray level, that is something that many people have not accomplished in their lifetime.
This makes Jia Chao very desperate. After all, Yanlong has tricked him too deeply!
I originally thought that I had cheated and no longer needed to work hard.
As a result, we are starting from scratch now, and even the pink level and the orange level have to be upgraded step by step.
Thinking of this, Jia Chao simply didn't think about upgrading. He went directly back to the tribe to find Nushi to discuss how to develop the Yanshi Mountains after he got them back.
Unexpectedly, he went back to the tribe and searched for a long time but couldn't find the stubborn stone.
After asking around among the tribesmen, he learned that Nushi personally led a team of men and horses to carry many animal skin blankets and clay pots to the Jianhu tribe.
Bored, he had no choice but to walk back to the mountain.
"Chief Achao!" Just as he was passing by the food workshop, a man suddenly emerged from inside and grabbed him.
Jia Chao took a closer look and saw that it was He Ye's younger brother Bi Song. At this time Bi Song had his own surname, so he is now called Tang Bi Song.
Jia Chao looked at him doubtfully and asked:
"What's your business?"
Bi Song looked at him helplessly and said:
"Chief Achao, how can you be such a chief? No one can be seen all day long. No wonder many people think that Brother Hongya is the chief!"
Jia Chao scratched his head in embarrassment, "If you have something to say, tell me something!"
Bi Song: "Didn't you say that you can make candy from sweet trees? Why didn't you come and teach us how to make it for so long?"
Jia Chao: "..."
Did I say this?
Have I dug this hole for myself?
Why don't I remember it at all?
He raised his eyes and looked at Bi Song, who was full of expectations, but he couldn't admit that he didn't know how to make sugar.
After rubbing his head, he decided to break the jar.
Isn't it just boiling sugar? Isn't it the same principle as making iron and boiling salt?
Melt and then crystallize!
"Let's go! I'll teach you now!"
He took Bi Song and strode into the food workshop. In addition to processing cured meat, various pickles were also produced here recently.
He couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the pickles placed in those clay pots. These primitive people really knew how to toss!
But are these messy dishes really edible? Are you sure it's not grass?
He raised his eyes and looked at Bi Song, his eyes full of questions.
Bi Song sensed Jia Chao's doubts and immediately took out two handfuls of wild vegetables that Jia Chao couldn't recognize from the bamboo basket on the side.
"This is called bitter bud, and we used to eat it often when we were short of food! Use this pickled bitter bud to stew the broth, and it will be delicious without adding salt!"
Jia Chao nodded, it's just pickled vegetables and stewed meat. Bi Song is really a talent. He mastered the pickling part so quickly.
Compared to others, am I really not doing my job properly?
"Okay! Let's start working and ask someone to find two sweet...no, sweet trees!"
Soon, someone brought sugar cane.
Jia Chao asked Bi Song to find someone to peel the sugar cane and cut it into small pieces, then put it in a clay pot and took it out.
When Jia Chao saw him, he turned out to be Yangtong, an elemental warrior with the power of earth.
He looked at Yangtong and wondered why he was here. Only then did Bi Song quietly tell Jia Chao the reason.
It turns out that in order to prevent the secret of the iron weapon from being leaked, Nushi stipulated that only the core members of the tribe could be in charge of the iron sword.
Therefore, Yangtong became the knife master of the food workshop, and he was responsible for all tasks of cutting animal meat and ingredients.
This left Jia Chao speechless. With his arrival, the career paths of both spiritual beasts and elemental warriors seemed to have gone astray.
What he didn't know was that it was this deviation that would allow the Flame Stone Tribe to enter another technological route in the future, a technological route that would later be promoted to the entire continent.
