“Ouch! Ouch! … It hurts!”
The little beast Zhuofan screamed in pain.
But it was no use. The willow branches in Elder Ma's hand continued to fall down one after another, hitting the little animal Zhuofan so hard that his buttocks twisted on the ground. All the hair on his buttocks was pulled out, leaving his skin and flesh torn.
"Father, save me, Father..."
When the Qiongqi beast saw this, its eyes widened and it roared angrily, "Stop, stop right there. That human, if you dare to humiliate my child again, I will tear your body into pieces and make sure you die a miserable death."
I smiled coldly, waved my hand at the Qiongqi beast in the sky, and said calmly: "Qiongqi beast, I told you to come down and have a good chat. But you refused to agree. Since you refused to agree, your child will have to suffer."
After saying this, I told Elder Ma: "Keep pumping!"
“Pah, pah!”
The spiritual energy wrapped around the willow branches and whipped them fiercely.
The little beast Zhuofan's screams continued, and it was simply heart-wrenching.
Taotie Beast and Chaos Beast watched this scene with great interest.
Taotie Beast chuckled and said sarcastically, "I never thought that you would have this day, Qiongqi Beast. I remember when you were born, I loved you so much. I never thought that today, your child is suffering, and you, as a father, are standing aside to watch the fun. Are you the biological father of this little fellow? Hehe!"
The Qiongqi beast bared its teeth, its eyes were bloodshot, and it cursed angrily: "Asshole, Taotie beast, what did you say? If you are not convinced, we can have a fight, and I will tear your mouth apart."
The Taotie beast shrank its head and said jokingly, "No, I don't want to fight with you. If you have something to say, you'd better come down and tell me. Maybe if you can please my master, he will let your child go."
"Father, save me! My butt hurts so much!..."
The little beast Zhuofan cried out in pain.
I glanced at the Qiongqi Beast and said in a deep voice, "Qiongqi Beast, your Qiongqi Beast Clan is weak right now, and we have two major beast clans. Even if a fight breaks out, your Qiongqi Beast Clan will not end well. So, I advise you to come down quickly and stop circling in the sky, making me upset."
"Don't you see that the spiritual energy of the human who beat your son is not as rich as the spiritual energy you absorbed from the spiritual stone, but it is richer than the spiritual energy on your beast body. Do you know why?"
With my reminder, the Qiongqi beast's eyes fixed on Elder Ma.
After a moment, it exclaimed: "Could it be that he, this human, can absorb spiritual energy from the air?"
This Qiongqi beast has a pretty good brain.
I smiled and said, "Yes, you are right. He can indeed absorb spiritual energy from the air. Moreover, I know how to absorb spiritual energy."
After hearing what I said, the body of the Qiongqi beast shook, and its angry eyes subsided.
"Okay! Human boy, I'll go down now. I want to see what you want to do?" said the Qiongqi beast gloomily.
After saying that, the Qiongqi beast flapped its wings, and its huge body glided towards the ground.
I was afraid that the Qiongqi beast would do something, so I ordered the divine beast Ban Zhuo, saying, "Ban Zhuo, if this Qiongqi beast handsome does something, you will just smash the little beast's head and send it to death."
Ban Zhuo, like his father, the Taotie Beast, chuckled and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Taoist Yang, I promise to complete the task you assign to me."
"Elder Ma, please stop first."
I gave another order, and Elder Ma threw the willow branch in his hand aside. The spiritual energy in his body was slightly restrained.
Look at the little beast Zhuofan again, there are bloodstains on its body.
, animal blood was flowing out from the bloodstain.
Like a swimming little snake, the blood flowed down from the body of the little beast Zhuofan.
Zhuo Fan's spirit had already collapsed. Although he was a beastman, he was just a kid according to the age of the beastman. He felt wronged and started to cry. He looked very pitiful.
The Taotie Beast and the Chaos Beast gave up a piece of open space in front.
The body of the Qiongqi beast tumbled and fell to the ground.
The fur on its body looked like long, thin, sharp steel needles when viewed from close up. The feathers on its wings were also very sharp, with a steel-like texture.
After the Qiongqi beast landed, it stared at me directly and said solemnly: "Human, what on earth do you want to do? We, the Qiongqi beast tribe, the Chaos beast tribe, and the Taotie beast tribe have no grudges against each other. We live together in the fragments of the ancient beast tribe's divine map. Everything was fine. Why do you want to break this balance as soon as you appear?"
I smiled slightly, narrowed my eyes and said, "Qiongqi Beast, what you said is not wrong. You Qiongqi Beast Clan, Taotie Beast Clan and Chaos Beast Clan do have no grudges or hatred. However, you are, after all, a beast clan from the ancient times, living in the fragments of the divine map."
"As for me, I want to get the fragments of the divine map. And, I forgot to tell you that I not only know the method of absorbing spiritual energy, but I also control three fragments of the divine map. In other words, I have become the controller of the fragments of the divine map. And you, the Qiongqi beast tribe, as an ancient beast tribe, should obey me."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
After I finished speaking, the face of the Qiongqi beast was filled with horror.
This expression is similar to the expression on Chaos Beast's face when he saw it before.
Taotie Beast was afraid that Qiongqi Beast would not believe me, so he continued, "Yes, Qiongqi Beast, my master has indeed already controlled three fragments of the divine map, and he wants to control more fragments. The divine map of mountains, rivers, and states was left by Lord Huangdi. Anyone who can obtain it has followed Lord Huangdi's will."
"And what we ancient beastmen have to do is obey, just like when Lord Huangdi led us. In the ancient times, if there was no Lord Huangdi, I'm afraid our ancient beastmen would have been exterminated long ago. You must know this."
"Besides, if you submit to my master, you will not only be following the will of the Yellow Emperor, but you will also be able to obtain the method of absorbing spiritual energy. Also, if the fragment of our ancient beast tribe's divine map is integrated with the other three fragments of the divine map, there will be no more restrictions on time, space and region. In this way, we can also gain long-term freedom."
At this point, the Taotie beast paused and continued, "Besides, your child Zhuofan is still in our hands. Are you just going to ignore him? The fragment of the beast tribe's divine map is only this small. It's meaningless for you, the Qiongqi beast tribe, to live in a remote corner."
The words of the Taotie Beast made the Qiongqi Beast very excited, and a thoughtful look appeared in the beast's eyes.
These ancient beast tribes have lived for a very long time. They have long possessed human thinking and intelligence, and can still distinguish between good and evil.
The Chaos Beast on the side also spoke up and expressed his opinion.
After a while, Qiongqi Beast compromised and said, "Okay, Taoist Yang, no, Master, I submit to you."
As it spoke, the Qiongqi beast leaned down and lowered its head.
In the distance, the beasts of the Qiongqi tribe that rushed out from the cracks, seeing their leader in such a state, they all crawled on the ground and dared not move.
On the one hand, they were oppressed, and on the other hand, they obeyed the will of their patriarch, the Qiongqi beast.
"Hehe, isn't that it? We don't have to fight each other. Isn't it nice to be happy now?"
As I spoke, a strong spiritual energy emerged from my body.
After feeling my cultivation level, the shock in the Qiongqi beast's eyes became even more solemn.
The outside world has changed. Spiritual energy no longer exists. However, a human like me can absorb spiritual energy and even reach the Golden Core Stage. This shows that I have really mastered the method of absorbing spiritual energy.
"Master Yang, no, Master, I will follow you from now on. I hope you will not be stingy and teach me the method of absorbing spiritual energy."
I replied, "Don't worry, Qiongqi Beast, this is easy. However, before I teach you how to absorb spiritual energy and release your child, I still need to place a sealing rune on your body. Hehe, to be honest, I still don't trust me. Only in this way can you gain my trust."
There was a look of uneasiness in the eyes of the Qiongqi beast, and it looked at the Taotie beast and the Chaos beast.
I smiled and said, "Don't look at them. They are just like you. I have placed sealing runes on their bodies. So, you should just surrender obediently."
After hesitating for a moment, Qiongqi Beast nodded and said, "Okay, Master, I'll listen to you."
I stepped on the Gangbu step and slowly walked to the front of the Qiongqi beast.
Then, when the Qiongqi beast poked its head towards me, I injected the sealing rune into its body.
The sealing rune glowed with golden light and continued to sink into the body of the Qiongqi beast.
"Okay, Elder Ma, Ban Zhuo, let's release the Qiongqi beast's child."
I gave an order.
Elder Ma and the divine beast Ban Zhuo retreated backwards.
After all, that little beast Zhuofan is a divine beast. Although a lot of its hair has fallen off and its skin and flesh are a little torn, its body's recovery ability is still strong.
I said to the Chaos Beast, "Give this little beast ten spirit stones to let it recover."
Chaos Beast responded, "Yes, Master."
Then, the Chaos Beast spat out ten spirit stones from its mouth and they fell next to the little beast Zhuofan.
The little beast Zhuofan used some magic formula to quickly absorb the spiritual energy from the ten spirit stones.
Soon, the torn skin and flesh on its body recovered quickly.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward."
The Qiongqi beast thanked me, and after a moment, it asked me in a nagging tone, "Master, um... didn't you say you would teach me the method of absorbing spiritual energy? I wonder if it's possible now?"
Damn, it’s so anxious.
Just when I was about to reply to the Qiongqi beast, Vashikin, the old beast of the Taotie beast clan, suddenly squeezed out from the crowded herd.
"Master Yang, it's bad. The members of the Taowu Beast Tribe are heading towards the Tanggu Mountains. It should be the entire tribe, and quite a few members of the Taowu Beast Tribe have come." The old beast Vashikin said in shock.
Its words surprised me secretly.
I thought to myself, could it be that the chief of the Taowu tribe, Taowu Beast, already knew that I was here to subdue the Qiongqi tribe
The Chaos Beast, the Taotie Beast, and the Qiongqi Beast all looked at me. They wanted to hear my decision.
I thought about it and said to Qiongqi Beast: "Wait a minute, the members of the Taowu Beast tribe will come. Don't tell the Taowu Beast what happened here. Just pretend that nothing happened. When the time comes, pay attention to my signal. We will work together inside and outside to completely eliminate the Taowu Beast tribe."
The Qiongqi beast nodded its head and said, "Okay, Master, I'll listen to you. Your method is really great!"
Don't think I can't hear it, this Qiongqi beast is clearly trying to flatter me.
"Well, in that case, you Qiongqi Beastmen should return to the cave below the ravine first."
"Yes, Master."
Now the Qiongqi beast became obedient and led the Qiongqi beast tribe members back to the ravine obediently.
I took the members of the Chaos Beast Tribe and the Taotie Beast Tribe and hid in the nearby jungle.
In the distance, the sound of "thump thump thump" of a herd of animals running was getting closer and closer.
