Beast Taming: My first spirit beast was a frog junior?

"What is this?" The bald, burly man scratched his smooth scalp.

The six younger brothers also stared curiously at the cave entrance.

Zhou Li was speechless. "This is the place you cleaned up, and you're asking us?"

"Hehe..." The bald, burly man turned his head away sullenly.

Xu Xian stroked his chin and used his phone to shine a light into the cave.

A cold breath emanated from the dark cave entrance.

All that can be seen is the clear, cold water flowing out and gathering in this river.

With his gaze withdrawn, Xu Xian looked down into the river.

The pebbles piled up on both sides of the various connected rocks were splashed by the stream water.

"This doesn't look like the kind of water fish could swim up like this." Zhou Li stared at the slightly turbulent current. "So, the Nine-Leaky Fish escaped from this hole?"

Zhou Li ran back onto the three-wheeled vehicle, carrying the fish basket. He grabbed the head of the nine-legged fish, tilting the basket at an angle. "You escaped from here?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Nine-Leak Fish looked at the water cave, then at Zhou Li, and kept spitting out bubbles.

In those dead fish eyes, Zhou Li seemed to see a perfectly smooth brain without any wrinkles.

Xu Xian rolled his eyes. "The Nine-Leak Fish's talent is forgetting. Guess why it's called Forgetting."

"Is it my fault?" Zhou Li shrugged, then said, "Alright, stop looking. We don't know where this hole leads, but if the Nine-Leak Fish really came out of here, it proves that its origin must be closely related to the sea."

"Since that's the case, it's time for you to show your strength." Xu Xian slapped Zhou Li on the left shoulder.

"Okay." Zhou Li understood Xu Xian's meaning.

I took out my phone and made a call.

Less than half an hour later, a refined-looking middle-aged man dressed in a butler's uniform arrived.

Besides the middle-aged man himself, a long snake with black rings and a watery appearance was also wrapped around his body.

The snake was long and thin, but at least five meters long, with a pair of scarlet eyes that gleamed with a bloodthirsty cold light.

The Abyss Serpent, a mid-grade bronze-level spirit beast with both water and poison attributes, evolves from a mid-grade black-iron-level sea serpent beast.

Its innate talent is "Sea Poison," and its secreted salty saliva is highly toxic; a single drop can poison even a high-level peak spirit beast, making it extremely powerful.

The bald thugs accidentally met the gaze of the abyssal serpent, and they all instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Trembling like a leaf, the black wolfhound hurriedly lowered its head, its head buried in the ground in a "T" shape, not a single hair of its black fur standing up.

Even the golden-armored beast trembled and hid behind Zhou Li's neck, its tail tightly wrapped around Zhou Li's neck, its head half-exposed behind it as if it wanted to look but dared not.

Wawa performed the best, standing directly in front of Xu Xian, but its body covered in frog-like bumps made it look like a green toad.

In addition, Vawa's body was also glowing with a dark blue light, as if a surging blue flame was burning on its surface.

As a beast tamer, Xu Xian could sense its fear, but it still stepped forward.

Yu Wei and the Sea Abyss Serpent noticed Wawa at first glance.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Wei's eyes.

Is this telekinesis?

"Butler!" Zhou Li called out impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Can't you see that even my wealth and Xu Xian's 'wawa' are scared?"

Yu Wei immediately said to the abyssal serpent on his body, "Please suppress your aura."

The abyss serpent glanced at Yu Wei indifferently, calmly concealing its aura.

Clearly, neither party is a contracted spirit beast nor a beast tamer.

Xu Xian could see that Yu Wei also felt a trace of fear when facing this abyssal serpent with its extremely dense energy aura.

That's normal, though.

According to Xu Xian's rough assessment, this abyssal serpent was about as strong as the Silver Moon Wolf that Mo Xie had encountered before.

Xu Xian's initial estimate was that it was at the level of a leader, but he couldn't tell its exact strength.

The abyss serpent withdrew its aura, and everyone present, including Yu Wei, breathed a sigh of relief.

"This way." Zhou Li pointed to the water cave. "Butler, the nine-legged fish I caught today should have been found in there."

Yu Wei first glanced at the water cave, then looked at the water basket that Zhou Li was holding.

The nine small holes on the fish in the water basket were oozing white foam, and the fish was upside down, looking like a dead fish.

"Oh my god, I hope I'm not scared to death." Zhou Li quickly reached into the water.

With a gentle tap, the nine-leaky fish tumbled twice.

All I can say is that this foolish fish may be stupid, but it still knows how to play dead.

"I'd like to trouble you to take action," Yu Wei said respectfully to the Sea Abyss Serpent.

The abyssal serpent hissed twice and burrowed directly into the water cave.

Then, Yu Wei handed Zhou Li a locator.

Zhou Li took the snake and asked, "Butler, where did you borrow this snake from?"

"A friend from the association," Yu Wei bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry to have startled you."

"Never mind, let me see what secrets lie behind the origin of this Nine-Leak Fish, hehe."

So, a butler joined the three-wheeled vehicle, and the three people and two beasts sped off in the direction of the locator that Yu Wei had installed on the Sea Abyss Serpent.

The motorcycle thugs looked at each other in bewilderment, and the bald, burly man shook his head.

My heart is bleeding.

Damn it, not only did we fail to catch any fish, but we've been here for two or three months and still haven't discovered this water cave.

"Let's go back!" He was very depressed and all he wanted to do was drink.

On the other side, Zhou Li drove his three-wheeled vehicle onto the main road.

The locator was found to be flashing rapidly outwards.

"We're leaving the Tree City area!" Xu Xian remarked after a glance.

"This just proves that there might really be a discovery. If we find some more 'Nine-Left Fish' (a type of fish that has been leaked from the sea), Brother Xian, we'll be rich!" Zhou Li said excitedly. Money was actually a small matter; the main thing was the excitement of exploring new things.

"I hope so!" Xu Xian said with some anticipation.

Following the locator, the three-wheeled vehicle quickly bypassed the main road within the Jade Spider Mountain area and entered a narrow path that was neither too wide nor too narrow.

Xu Xian held his phone and opened a map.

"Further ahead is Niujia Village, but a hundred years ago, due to the turmoil of the times, the entire village was incorporated into Tree City, and Niujia Village has been abandoned ever since. Although the surrounding area has been cleared several times in recent years, and there are basically no dangerous spirit beasts around, the original Niujia Village people have become accustomed to life in the city. They only come here once a year for ancestral worship during festivals."

"So there's still a road here," Zhou Li added.

Xu Xian nodded.

Although there was a road, after the three-wheeled vehicle drove to the center of Niujia Village, where lush green weeds almost covered the houses, the road ended.

"What do we do?" Zhou Li scratched his head, looking at Xu Xian and Yu Wei.

Yu Wei was just an ordinary person, so he naturally shook his head and said, "Young Master, it's too dangerous to go any further. Let's wait here. The Abyss Serpent will return when it reaches the end. I left a special information liquid on myself."

Xu Xian nodded as well.

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall; this place is fine.

He had already seen the Blood Stele when he entered Niujia Village, so waiting here shouldn't pose any danger.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you two say."

So, a large tent was set up.

This was brought by Zhou Li, who said he had been preparing for a long time to experience outdoor camping.

Xu Xian remained silent.

After calling his parents to let them know he was safe, Xu Xian held Wawa and rested.

Using mental skills continuously is quite mentally taxing for Wawa, who is only at the intermediate level and has not yet awakened the mental attribute. It no longer has the energy to stay up all night to practice.
