Eternal Beast Taming Family

On the way to Fuhe Village, Chu Jingyu was preoccupied with various thoughts.

In truth, he didn't want Xiao Fan to go to town to take a job, but when the town mayor asked them to be witnesses, he was already standing against the Liu family.

Sending Xiao Fan to town would also be a way to leverage the town mayor's influence and prevent the Liu family from retaliating without restraint.

Apart from the village chief, there were no other ordinary people in the group. The village chief sat on the oxcart the whole way, and the ox was patted twice by a strong guard, as if he had been given some kind of buff.

It raced across the snow-covered road at a speed far exceeding its arrival speed.

It's pitiful that the village chief, at such an advanced age, has to endure such a turbulent and torturous journey.

The guards led by Zhang Yu did not go to the village, but instead had Chu Jingyu lead them directly to their destination. It is unknown whether they intended to finish work and return to town before dark.

As they approached the village, Chu Jingyu told the village chief and the oxcart to go back to the village first and wait for news, while he led the guards alone to the new mine.

Looking at the mine entrance, which was piled with huge rocks just like yesterday, Chu Jingyu and Zhang Yu pointed in the direction of the entrance and said:

"The villagers and the source beast are both deep inside the buried cave entrance."

Zhang Yu looked around and said, "Is this your Fuhe Village's mine? It's two mountains away from the village. These villagers are quite bold."

It was hard to tell whether Zhang Yu's tone was more mocking or admiring.

Chu Jingyu stroked the tree trunk and said softly, "This mine has only just started operating, and who knew we'd run into something like this. After this incident, I'm afraid this place will have to be abandoned."

Zhang Yu shook his head and called out a name, "Li Tie, open that hole."

Then the burly man who had just given the bull a buff stepped forward in response, and a yellow and black bull, clad in iron armor and reaching up to Li Tie's waist, strode out.

Its body is covered in black on key areas such as its head, shoulders, and legs, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen.

Especially the two sharp horns on its head, which looked as if they were cast from black iron.

Chu Jingyu happened to recognize this kind of source beast, "Iron Ox," which is a very useful source beast in the early stages. It has immense strength, and it is said that there are large armies composed of these source beasts in the military.

Li Tie and his source beast walked towards the cave entrance together, the "Iron Bull's" horns gleaming with a faint, eerie light.

When it was a certain distance from the cave entrance, it stopped, then lightly pushed off the ground with its hooves a few times, and the next second it rushed towards the cave entrance.

It's trying to use brute force to smash open the hole.

A simple, efficient, and brutally violent choice.

"Boom!"

The black horns of "Iron Ox" made a loud noise when they came into contact with the boulder blocking the cave entrance, and even the ground beneath its feet trembled slightly.

However, the effect was quite obvious; the dark entrance had been successfully opened to the public.

"With all this commotion, if that source beast were timid, it would probably be scared away."

Hearing Chu Jingyu's "mutterings to himself," Zhang Yu replied, "Don't worry, even if it runs away and hides, I have a way to find it."

"My lord, the source beast in that cave is a special source beast with intelligence no less than that of humans. Please take precautions against this."

Hearing Chu Jingyu's advice, Zhang Yu's expression became more interested. "Oh, then I must be careful not to harm its life."

A white crane, nearly as tall as a person, appeared beside Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu gently stroked the crane's neck.

"Summon all your source beasts and come with me into the cave."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's voice, the other guards summoned their source beasts. There weren't many types of source beasts in Heyu Town; out of the ten guards, there were only three types.

Two other people, like Li Tie, had a "Iron Bull" as their source beast, but in terms of size and the extent to which black iron covered their bodies, they were far inferior to Li Tie's.

Another type is a turtle carved from ice crystal white jade, a tiny lump held in the hands of its contractor.

The "Ice Crystal Turtle," a source beast from the Liu family in town, thrives in this environment, with four guards holding it.

Their appearance together made the surrounding environment seem even colder.

The last type is the "Spotted Hyena," which is not large, only reaching the height of an adult's leg, but has a fierce appearance and looks like a very dangerous beast.

At this moment, Chu Jingyu did not hide his "Golden Jade Beast," but instead summoned it onto his shoulder.

As Zhang Yu walked towards the cave entrance, he glanced back at the source beast on Chu Jingyu's shoulder, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

"Old man, your source beast is quite peculiar. I don't think I've ever seen one around here before."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingyu smiled and said, "This is a source beast that I accidentally contracted when I was adventuring in the past. It is normal that you have never seen it before."

Once inside the cave, the snowflakes stopped bothering us, but our surroundings gradually became darker.

The crane-like creature accompanying Zhang Yu, whose name he did not know, gradually developed a soft glow on its white feathers, illuminating the environment inside the cave.

How should we address an elderly person?

After traveling for most of the day, the chief inspector only remembered to ask for his name when his source beast appeared. This chief inspector is quite pragmatic.

"Please just call me Chu Jingyu."

"Mr. Chu, we are of the same rank, so please just call me Zhang Yu."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, most of the guards looked at Chu Jingyu with surprise, seemingly not expecting that this seemingly humble old man was actually of the same rank as their superior.

"No, no, the rules cannot be broken, Lord Zhang, please don't make me feel uncomfortable."

As the two talked, the cave entrance grew narrower, but white jade stones, embedded in the walls, gradually appeared on both sides, emitting a soft white light.

Even without the radiance emanating from that crane-like source beast, ordinary people could still see normally inside the cave.

"Mr. Chu, are you saying that this mine is newly opened?"

Chu Jingyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's only been less than two days since we started mining."

"How could the mine have been mined so deep?"

"Perhaps the source beast that claims to be a mountain god possesses this ability to open up caves."

Zhang Yu nodded, agreeing with Chu Jingyu's statement.

After walking another ten meters or so, the narrow mine shaft in front of us suddenly opened up.

A cave that looked like it had been specially opened up for gatherings appeared before everyone. Chu Jingyu knew that they had arrived at the cave that the "Golden Jade Beast" had explored.

The commotion caused by the group's appearance immediately alerted everyone inside the cave.

The villagers, who had been bewitched by the "mountain god," turned their heads at the same time, their eyes blank and numb as they stared at the crowd.

At the same time, a tremendous sound echoed through the cave.

"Since you have seen the deity, why not worship him?"
