It was almost noon, and Wang Liang and Ling Yuyan came to the bun shop again.
Seeing the two of them, the owner of the bun shop seemed particularly enthusiastic. After all, the penny given by Wang Liang in the early morning helped him overcome a big difficulty.
The lunch at Baozi Shop is naturally steamed buns. To say that their steamed buns are really delicious, you won’t get tired of them even after two meals.
The freshly steamed meat buns are white, large, and steaming hot. When you take a bite, they are fragrant, soft, glutinous, and juicy.
It's just that Wang Liang was biting the meat bun in his mouth, and his eyes were always glancing below Ling Yuyan's neck and above her abdomen, intentionally or unintentionally.
Well, the bag there is more desirable than the bag in my mouth right now...
Fortunately, even though Ling Yuyan had eaten a lot in the morning, she was still able to eat. She was concentrating on Feng Zhuan Can Yun and didn't notice Wang Liang's polite gaze at all.
When the two of them were almost done eating, the owner of the bun shop took the initiative to give them a pot of good tea and brewed it for them himself.
Just when Wang Liang made a move to pay, the owner of the bun shop quickly stopped him and refused to ask for money.
"Sir, the money you gave me this morning is enough for three days of food in my little shop."
"Besides, what you did this morning is a great favor to me. If I take money from you again, I will be a son of man in vain."
Wang Liang smiled, but did not insist anymore, and asked casually;
"When we came from outside the city, we found that we were surrounded by plains and there were few beautiful places with mountains and forests. Does the boss know where there are places with good scenery nearby?"
Asking where there are large-scale mountains and forests was the purpose of Wang Liang and Ling Yuyan entering Taikang County.
The bun shop owner thought for a moment and replied: "I heard that there seems to be a land of mountains and forests about three hundred miles north of the city."
"However, it is said that wild beasts are rampant in that mountain forest, and there are even terrifying spiritual beasts in the depths. If the young master and young lady want to go sightseeing, it is better not to choose there."
It seems that the owner of the steamed bun shop regards Wang Liang and Ling Yuyan as the young master and young lady who travel around the world, which is exactly what Wang Liang wants.
Therefore, the Baozi Shop owner recommended several scenic spots in the city and advised that although the city is not as beautiful as the mountains and rivers outside, it is better than safety.
Wang Liang also nodded in agreement, but didn't care at all.
Mountains and forests where wild beasts are rampant and where spiritual beasts live, wouldn't that be a good place for those spiritual beasts in the battle pet space to make a home?
With their goals in mind, Wang Liang and Ling Yuyan no longer stayed, said goodbye to the bun shop owner and left.
When the bun shop owner was clearing away the dishes, he just picked up a bowl and found a piece of broken silver pressed at the bottom of the bowl.
He was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the young master might have left the money here.
He picked up the silver and hurriedly ran a few steps, only to see two looming figures in the crowd, they had already gone very far.
After leaving Taikang County, Wang Liang and Ling Yuyan continued flying with their swords.
It's just that Ling Yuyan was absent-minded all the time on the road, as if she had something on her mind.
Wang Liang flew side by side with her and asked: "Sister, are you still thinking about what happened in Taikang County?"
Ling Yuyan nodded, her lips parted and she said, "I didn't expect that the life of the people at the bottom of Jiangnan Prefecture would be so miserable. Those officials are really terrible!"
Wang Liang sighed and said, "Yes, Taikang County is also under the jurisdiction of the Xu family."
"As a family of governors of nine counties, the Xu family completely failed to fulfill their responsibilities. Instead, they persecuted the people and made it difficult for the people everywhere to live."
"Perhaps only when the Xu family falls, the lives of the people will be better, but..."
Having said this, Wang Liang paused for a moment because he saw Ling Yuyan's beautiful eyes sparkling with brilliance.
'It's bad, I'm afraid she has some thoughts in her heart. I shouldn't lead her in this direction, as it could easily lead me into it.'
Thinking about it, Wang Liang changed the subject and continued;
"It's just that practitioners of our generation are not suitable to interfere too much in civil affairs. Seeking immortality and enlightenment is..."
But before Wang Liang could finish speaking, Ling Yuyan interrupted with a smile: "Junior brother, I know what's going on. Let's continue on our way."
No, you look like that, you clearly have no idea... Wang Liangliang said to himself, but said nothing more.
Alas, too many words lead to mistakes.
In just half an hour, the two of them had leapt three hundred miles.
Flying high and looking into the distance, you can indeed see an endless mountain forest.
Here, it has left the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Prefecture.
Wang Liang and Ling Yuyan flew down and checked the surrounding situation.
Sure enough, as the bun shop owner said, wild beasts are rampant everywhere in the mountains and forests, and occasionally one or two low-level spiritual beasts can be seen.
A second-level spiritual beast that looked like a tiger and leopard spotted the two of them. Its eyes suddenly shone brightly, and it came closer with a low roar.
This tiger and leopard spirit beast has eaten people and tasted the taste of human flesh, and it will never be forgotten.
But except for some passing merchant teams, few people pass by this forest.
As for those merchant teams, most of them were large in number and were protected by bodyguards. Spirit beasts did not dare to easily provoke such merchant teams.
The last time the tiger and leopard spirit beast ate a human, it was because a person in the merchant team was left alone and was picked up and eaten by it.
After it ate humans, it felt that the deliciousness of human flesh was truly unmatched by other meats. It was delicate, smooth, and delicious.
Now, two more people appeared in front of me, and they both seemed to have tender skin and tender meat. They must be even more delicious than the last time.
As he thought about it, saliva flowed out of the tiger and leopard spirit beast's mouth, and the greed in the beast's eyes was undisguised.
Wang Liang frowned and looked at the tiger and leopard spirit beast; "Senior sister, why do I feel that this spirit beast has ill intentions towards us?"
Ling Yuyan nodded and frowned slightly as she said, "This spiritual beast must have eaten humans and developed a fascination with human flesh, so it looks at us like this."
In her previous life, Ling Yuyan was a beast spirit warrior. Even though she is no longer a natural immortal body in this life, her understanding of spirit beasts is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Wang Liang asked with a somewhat uncertain attitude: "Then...is this kind of spiritual beast an evil beast?"
Ling Yuyan nodded lightly; "There is no doubt that it is an absolute evil beast. Keeping it will only put more people who come and go here in danger."
Evil beasts are a general term for some spiritual beasts that are extremely aggressive to humans.
Because most of the spiritual beasts are humans who do not actively provoke them, and they will not attack humans easily.
And even if for some reason, spiritual beasts that have eaten humans usually will not become obsessed with human flesh.
After all, the taste of human flesh is normally sour and not delicious.
However, a very few spiritual beasts have weird tastes and will become obsessed with human flesh after eating a human once.
At this time, they become so-called evil beasts, because as the number of people they eat increases, they will become more and more fond of human flesh.
And there is a very scary point. After the evil beast eats people, it will actually improve its cultivation and become more and more crazy.
As for the reason, no one knows. In the end, the evil beast will gradually evolve into a ferocious beast that dares to break into human cities and harm people wantonly!
This kind of evil and ferocious beast is something that even Ling Yuyan, who has had a body control with a beast spirit, will never tolerate.
Because the crazy evil beast is no longer like a spiritual beast, but more like a demon that only knows how to eat people and has no consciousness.
It is precisely because of the existence of evil and vicious beasts that humans are quite prejudiced against spiritual beasts.
Even more extreme, some people believe that spiritual beasts do not dare to exist in the world, and that spiritual beasts are the natural enemies of all human beings.
As a result, a group of people appeared who took it as their lifelong mission to destroy all spiritual beasts in the world.
Alas, if you think about it this way, the existence of evil beasts and ferocious beasts is really like a mouse droppings that spoils a pot of soup.
Wang Liang thought for a moment and then asked Ling Yuyan: "Sister, if other spiritual beasts eat this evil beast, won't they also turn into evil beasts?"
Ling Yuyan shook her head; "That's absolutely not possible. The formation of evil beasts is very mysterious and random."
"There is no stipulation that any kind of spiritual beast is an evil beast, and it will not be spread to other spiritual beasts."
"So when an evil beast appears, before it becomes very powerful, it cannot be ruled out that some higher-level spiritual beasts with higher intelligence will kill and eat it."
"After all, if an evil beast is allowed to run wild and attack humans, it might provoke some strong humans to massacre the innocent spiritual beasts living in this area."
Hearing this, Wang Liang let out a breath; "Then I'll feel relieved."
Ling Yuyan was a little confused; "What are you going to do?"
Wang Liang took out a black elixir and said with a smile: "Sister, I plan to make the best use of everything..."
The tiger and leopard beasts were drooling and salivating as they walked, and suddenly they felt something was wrong.
When the two humans saw him, they were not afraid at all, and even whispered to each other.
And since the man took out a pill, why was he still looking at me with a bit of expectation?
The tiger and leopard beasts were stunned for a moment, but in the end their desire to eat human flesh overcame their reason and they continued to approach.
"Roar--!"
A roar, as if to say: "I'm going to eat you!"
"Here, let's eat it for you."
Wang Liang raised his hand and threw out the black pill.
The pill bone rolled in front of the tiger and leopard beast.
Um?
The tiger and leopard beasts were stunned again.
Who wants to eat this thing that looks like rabbit shit? I want to eat people, roar... Hey, wait a minute.
This rabbit shit-like thing smells so good, I really want to eat it...
but……
What does he mean by giving this to me?
The evil tiger and leopard beast smelled the fragrance of the elixir. Although they wanted to take this elixir, they felt unsure.
Isn't it poison?
But the smell is so fragrant, it's even more fragrant than human flesh. Is there really such a fragrant poison?
It looked at Wang Liang with its gleaming animal eyes, and found that he was quite kind-hearted now.
Could it be that...he wanted to bribe me with this very fragrant elixir, and then beg me not to eat him?
Um……
After thinking about it for a few times, the evil tiger and leopard beast ate the elixir that had a dark appearance but a rich aroma without hesitation.
boom--!
As soon as he swallowed the elixir, the tiger and leopard beast felt the spiritual power in his body suddenly increase sharply, and his body size instantly increased several times, becoming as big as a small mountain in the blink of an eye.
"Roar--!"
Even the roar became domineering!
It turned its huge beast eyes to Wang Liang again, and silently decided in its heart that if he could take out a few more pills like this, it would not eat him.
But just after making the decision, it saw Wang Liang summoning one spiritual beast after another with a smile on his face.
Moreover, those spiritual beasts were obviously very high-level. They were staring at me one by one, just like I was staring at two humans just now, and they were salivating...
Wang Liang summoned the spiritual beast and nodded to himself with satisfaction;
"The pill that made the rabbits grow bigger back then is still so effective. Now the size of this evil beast should be enough for Xiaohei and the others to fight the tooth ceremony."
