Chapter 96: The Thought of Subduing Qingxi (Please subscribe, recommend, collect, etc.)

"Moo-"

When it got dark, the cattle and horses in the camp screamed constantly.

Even Shi Dazhu's giant-hoofed wild horse, which was a seventh-grade exotic beast, neighed uneasily, spewed out white air continuously, and kicked the ground with its huge hooves to warn people.

"There is a situation!"

Shi Dazhu was the first to wake up. He jumped on his horse with a giant sword as tall as a man in his hand and looked around. "There is a herd of beasts approaching from the southeast."

"This place is still forty miles away from Jiming Lake. How come there are beasts here?"

Qing Yi was surprised, and quickly put his clothes in order, jumped onto the roof of the nearest sidecar, and looked toward the southeast with doubt, "What is that?"

"Boom—boom—boom—"

The river flowed slowly, the water on the opposite bank was blurred by mist, and huge footsteps could be heard from the thick fog, as if a giant beast was approaching.

"Head, what should we do?" The villagers tried hard to calm the restless buffaloes and horses, but they could not suppress the panic in their hearts.

Even Chai Yong was worried and said, "Village head, Xiema Pavilion is only a few miles away from here, how about we go there to hide first?"

"Although the beasts in the swamp are terrifying, they will not attack unless you provoke them."

Qing Yi also felt a little uneasy, but he still pretended to be calm, "First, drag these wooden boats ashore, and don't worry about the other things."

Faced with the approach of the unknown giant beast, Qing Yi would naturally be afraid, but with Shi Dazhu, a fourth-grade strongman, by his side, he believed that he could still protect the safety of the villagers.

Qing Yi, the backbone of the group, looked calm, which reassured the villagers. They quickly towed the five wooden boats ashore, while the sound of footsteps on the other side of the river became louder and louder.

“Uh—hmm—”

Following a dull and loud roar from a giant beast, the outline of a huge figure gradually emerged through the thick fog.

With a body three meters tall and sturdy limbs, you can feel the ground shaking with every step you take, and then you can see the eight-foot rhinoceros horn on the giant beast's head.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

Along with the rumbling footsteps and roars, a dozen more giant beasts walked out in the shadows following the giant beast, but Qing Yi's heart, which had been tense, was relieved.

Even Chai Yong couldn't help laughing and said, "So it's a group of blue rhinos. I didn't expect them to come so far to drink water. Everyone, be careful and don't talk too loudly."

The Green Rhino is a relatively common giant beast in the wilderness. Once it reaches adulthood, it will have the strength of an eighth-grade exotic beast. The leader of the Green Rhino will reach the seventh or sixth grade depending on the size of the tribe.

The group of green rhinos in front of us is a small tribe. The leader of the green rhinos is a seventh-grade exotic beast and the largest in size. The rest of the green rhinos are slightly smaller in size. There are also several newborn green rhinoceros cubs who are closely protected by the herd.

“Uh—hmm—”

The leader of the Green Rhino also saw the crowd on the other side of the river. He shouted loudly to intimidate them a few times before walking down to the riverbed to drink water.

The group of blue rhinos followed closely behind, walking from the gentle slope of the river bank to the shallow water area of ​​the river beach, drinking water and eating the tender green aquatic plants in the river. The blue rhino cubs continued to play while eating.

A river several tens of meters wide serves as the boundary between the two sides. On one side are hundreds of migrating villagers, and on the other side are a group of giant beasts frolicking and foraging. The two sides do not interfere with each other.

While the villagers were busy preparing breakfast, Qing Yi hid behind the weeds by the river and stared at the group of green rhinos on the other side of the river, his eyes rolling around. "Brother Yi, do you want to subdue these green rhinos?"

Shi Dazhu's laughter came from behind, "Although the blue rhinoceros is generally an eighth-grade exotic beast, it is a pity that its intelligence is low and its movements are clumsy, so there is not much point in taming it."

Qing Yi turned around and motioned Shi Dazhu to sit down, and said with a mysterious smile: "Brother Dazhu, the blue rhino is heavy and unsuitable for marching and fighting, but what if I use it to plow the fields?"

"Plowing the fields?"

This answer made Shi Dazhu look stunned.

No matter whether they were princes or vassals of various vassal states, the purpose of taming exotic beasts and ferocious birds was simple, which was to have stronger combat power. The first time I heard of someone taming exotic beasts was to use them for farming.

"Yes, we use the green rhinoceros to plow the fields!"

Qing Yi looked very excited, and he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Dazhu, Qingxi is considered unsuitable to be a contracted beast due to its docile nature and clumsy movements, let alone to be used in combat.

But I think it has many advantages. If multiple plows are assembled together, one green rhinoceros can pull it, which is enough to be equivalent to ten oxen.

I, the corporal, have enclosed a thousand mu of land, plus the 500 mu of land that was previously added. It would take more than ten days for an ox to plow these 1,500 mu of land, but if we use tamed green rhinos, we can finish the work in two or three days."

"Hiss, brother, you really dare to think like that!"

Shi Dazhu sat aside, looking at Qing Yi in amazement, wondering in his heart,
"The blue rhino is extremely powerful. If it can be tamed, it will be a great animal for power. But it is an eighth-grade exotic beast after all. How can you tame it?"

"Hey, I want to ask you about this!"

Qing Yi smiled with a curious look on his face and said, "I heard before that the wild people have animal trainers who make contracts with animal trainers to control them. I saw that you, Ran You, and the Eagle Guards also have exotic beasts and fierce birds as mounts. I wonder if the contracting rules are the same?"

"Brother, are you aiming too high?"

Shi Dazhu couldn't help but shook his head and said seriously,

“Ran You and I both relied on our strength to surpass that of the alien beasts by at least one realm, and we were able to forcefully intimidate and subdue the alien beasts in order to successfully sign the contract. And we can only sign a contract with one alien beast or ferocious bird.

The Eagle Guards have to play the role of both father and mother. They need to hatch the eggs of the ferocious birds themselves, feed and raise the ferocious bird cubs from an early age, and help clean up the bird droppings and give them a bath every day.

Even if they have a deep affection for the fierce bird mount, they must ensure that their cultivation level is not lower than that of the fierce bird, otherwise the contract may be cancelled at any time."

"What about the skills of the wild beast masters? How are they different?" After being inspired by Shi Dazhu's words, Yi was not discouraged at all. Instead, he became more expectant.

"The beastmaster's methods are somewhat weird!" Shi Dazhu shook his head slightly and said, "In the battle with the Black Wind Tribe eight years ago, I captured a beastmaster from the Black Wind Tribe and carefully questioned him about his training methods.

They can sign contracts with multiple exotic beasts by dividing their souls into multiple parts to sign contracts. It's okay for a beginner beastmaster, but when their realm is raised, their souls will either split and turn them into lunatics, or their souls will collapse and be attacked by the trained beasts.

In addition, the limitations of the wild beast masters' practice are too great. They can only make contracts with fifth-grade exotic beasts at most. Their souls cannot withstand more powerful beasts.

Although my contracting method is a bit crude and can only contract one exotic beast, if my strength reaches that of my grandfather, I can subdue a third-grade or even second-grade exotic beast, which is really amazing. "

Qing Yi listened carefully to Shi Dazhu's explanation. If the training method of the Blood Wolf Tribe's beastmasters was very powerful, Xing State would have obtained it long ago. The Blood Wolf Tribe must also be a powerful existence in the wild folk settlement and it is impossible for them to be just a vassal of the Black Wind Tribe.

After listening to the explanation, he realized that there were so many hidden dangers. However, not only did he not feel any anxiety, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
