The Emperor is Above

Chapter 149: Danger Befalls Daniu's Green Rhinoceros
"Bam—"

"Great! After all this time of thinking, Guqiu finally got fooled."

In a temporary camp a hundred miles north of the solitary hill, Nan Fengyue, a priest of the Black Wind Tribe wearing a black robe, slapped the table and said excitedly,

"Immediately send a message to the chiefs of the Golden Rooster, Water Horse, Red Deer and other seventeen tribes, and have them act according to the previous plan and dispatch personnel to gather here as soon as possible."

"Nanfeng Jiji, the kid from Guqiu suddenly led two or three hundred people to the southeast of Guqiu. I think we should find out their intentions carefully."

The cat ghost priest, who was also wearing a black robe and holding a black cat in his arms, said with a serious face, "I think it is necessary to have the Golden Rooster Tribe and the Water Horse Tribe send out scouts to find out the intentions of the children from Lonely Hill before we can act."

Nan Fengyue suddenly realized what was going on, and apologized to the black-robed man, "I'm sorry, Priest Hei Kui, I was so focused on the joint efforts of all tribes to suppress the little boy from Guqiu that I forgot to send a message to the Shui Ma tribe through you.

We were worried about the strange situation in the solitary hill before, and we didn't know what was inside. Even your intermediate divine servant and the intermediate totem warrior of the Water Horse Tribe were blocked. No matter what we did, we were blocked outside.

Now the kid from Guqiu has put himself in danger and recklessly led his men away from Guqiu. No matter what their intentions are, we have ten times the number of people besieging only two or three hundred people, and he will only end up dead. "

The black-robed woman from the Black Wind Tribe also advised softly, "Priest Hei Kui, it is indeed important for us to scout out the intentions of the boy from Gu Qiu, but it does not affect our arrangements in advance, right?
Each tribe is busy preparing for the autumn harvest raid, but it won't affect the overall situation if each tribe dispatches a few hundred people. I'll have the Golden Rooster tribe dispatch a thousand people this time. What do you think?"

"What Yingluo Jiji said makes sense!"

Priest Heikui hesitated for a moment. He was disapproving only because he was unhappy that the man from the Black Wind Tribe had given orders to the Water Horse Tribe without his permission. Now that the woman in black robe had given him face, he agreed.

He said with gloomy eyes: "Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Since the kid from Guqiu is seeking his own death, it is a good opportunity for the fierce tiger to fight the rabbit with an advantage of more than ten times to kill him. If anyone in the tribe is cunning and treacherous, he will be severely punished."

Under the joint command of the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Demon Cult, the various tribes of the Dazewi people who had requests for help from the two tribes did not dare to disobey and mobilized their elite personnel.

The tribe sent out intermediate totem warriors to lead the team, with a minimum of one or two hundred people and a maximum of three or four hundred people. Soon a team of three to four thousand people gathered.

After negotiations between the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Ghost Cult, a senior totem warrior from the Golden Rooster Tribe was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and another senior totem warrior from the Water Horse Tribe was appointed as the deputy commander, and they quickly advanced in the direction of Qing Yi.

······
“Uh—hmm—”

"Ah-woo-woo"

Seventy miles southeast of Guqiu, beside the Jiming Lake.

Many rivers converge into the lake here, creating a fertile estuary delta.

There are vast swamps and lush grass, and countless herds of animals breed and forage here. Because there are more giant beasts, the number of exotic beasts they hunt is actually smaller.

Qing Yi was unaware that danger was approaching, so he led a large group of hundreds of people on a boat across the river south of the solitary hill and arrived at this wasteland where hundreds of species of animals lived.

He looked with great interest at the groups of giant antelopes, blue rhinos, giant-hoofed wild horses, giant-horned deer, wildebeests, saber-toothed elephants, giant rhinos, woolly rhinos and other magical animals.

Let the beastmaster apprentices who have reached the ninth rank try to make contact as much as possible. Even those who are not as strong as the ninth rank can observe and experiment on how to build a closer relationship with the beasts. In order to reach a contract with the alien beasts, the beastmaster must not only have the same strength as the alien beasts, but also establish enough trust between them. In order to establish enough trust, they must first have enough goodwill. This is a long process that takes many days.

Gongsun Wu, Chai Yong and others commanded the private army and militia to find a slightly raised hill to set up camp. At the same time, they smiled as they watched most of the beastman apprentices trying to clumsily get close to the ordinary beasts.

The initial attempt was not smooth. Faced with the beastmaster apprentice approaching cautiously, even the reindeer did not want a stranger to approach them. They kept issuing warning roars, which made the timid beastmaster apprentice afraid to approach.

Even if there were a few brave ones, they quickly fled back in a panic under the attack of the stags. The laughing little foxes laughed strangely. Fortunately, the civet cat, a sixth-grade exotic beast, was lazily lying in the sun, so the stags did not dare to leave the herd too far.

In order to allow the beastmaster apprentices to exert their greatest strength, Qing Yi even ordered that they were not allowed to hunt and could only eat the food they carried with them, for fear that the smell of blood would attract the disgust of the beasts.

However, these beastmaster apprentices are not strong enough after all, and only a few of them can build close relationships with ordinary beasts in a day.

Qing Yi just smiled and was not disappointed. His attention was still on the group of ninth-grade beastmaster apprentices. It turned out that the first one to win the favor of the beasts was the stupid Da Niu.

Since coming to this wilderness, he has gone straight to the most majestic group of green rhinos without hesitation. This is a group of northern wilderness green rhinos, the largest group among all the green rhinos.

This group of green rhinos was not very large, with only about sixty to seventy individuals. Although the leader was only a seventh-grade green rhinoceros, he was three feet and five feet tall, and eight feet long, almost as big as a woolly rhinoceros.

The nine-foot-tall bull was just an inconspicuous little guy in front of this group of green rhinos. At first, the green rhinos were too lazy to pay attention to him and just let him stand there in a daze.

Daniu stared at them with a silly grin, and when he saw that no green rhinoceros paid any attention to him, he threw handfuls of spiced fried beans from his pocket over to them, but this only attracted two green rhinoceros cubs to grab the food.

Even the blue rhino cubs that were just born this year, after a spring and summer of growth, are ten feet tall, twenty and a half feet long, and weigh over ten thousand pounds, which is simply not something a big bull can resist.

This made Daniu want to cry but he had no tears. He really wanted to make a contract with a green rhino, but he didn't want to be a nanny to a green rhino cub. He could only watch helplessly as the two green rhino cubs robbed all the five-spice fried beans in his cloth bag.

“Uh—hmm—”

The two green rhino cubs snatched all the five-spice fried beans from the big bull, then found out with disdain that the quantity was too small, and returned to the green rhino herd in disappointment, causing the distraught big bull to return to the camp in frustration.

“Don’t be discouraged, Daniel. The Green Rhino tribe has always attached great importance to the safety of their cubs. They actually let the two cubs go near you to look for food, which means they still have a good impression of you.”

Qing Yi smiled and took out another bag of five-spice fried beans and handed it to the re-energized Da Niu, "Hurry up, strike while the iron is hot, keep up the good work and keep trying."

When Da Niu returned to the place with a bigger bag of five-spice fried beans, the green rhino cubs who had benefited from it came running over again without being called, and this time there were five of them running over at once.

There was even a young green rhino that squeezed over. When Daniu saw the green rhino, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Now he is only a ninth-rank beastmaster, and the blue rhino will be an eighth-rank exotic beast when it grows up. The cub is still too young. The young blue rhino in front of him should have been born a few years ago, so it is still a ninth-rank exotic beast, which is suitable for him to sign a contract with it.

Even though it was not yet a full adult, the young green rhino was already two and a half feet tall and fifty to six feet long. At dusk, Da Niu successfully concluded a soul contract with the young green rhino.
