Chapter 116: 116. Magic Beast Cub (Seeking a first subscription!)

On the afternoon of the next day, having endured the long journey, Luoning finally arrived at Shanlin Town with his team.

Beside the stone road marker, the craftsmen let out weary cheers; they had finally arrived here alive.

Along the way, many had felt regret in their hearts; had they known Shanlin Town was so far and the road so difficult, they likely would not have left their homes.

However, now that they had arrived safely, all those miscellaneous thoughts that had arisen on the road were cast to the back of their minds.

Next, they would live here peacefully, serve the Lord well, strive to build a career here, and bring their families from Wushan City over to live as soon as possible.

"Finally here!"

Luoning stretched on horseback. "Wodun, Qiaozhi, you take the craftsmen into town; I won't be accompanying you."

He gave a heavy pat to the Tayunjv beneath him, and the "fine steed," already familiar with its master, neighed and stretched its legs to gallop along the mountain road.

At this moment, the Tayunjv finally displayed the prowess of its Level 3 Magical Beast bloodline, covering over ten meters in the blink of an eye.

The speed was not only fast, but also very steady.

Flying along the way and enjoying the cheers of the subjects he met, Luoning soon arrived at the castle.

It was just that compared to returning home in the past, it was much quieter this time.

"Brother Luoning, you're finally back!"

A nimble figure dashed out from the Inner Castle and threw herself directly into Luoning's arms; Luoning subconsciously caught the person who had come.

Smelling the faint scent on her skin, Luoning couldn't help but joke: "It's Ailin. Long time no see; compared to last time, you seem to have gained quite a bit of weight, haven't you?"

"Ah, have I gotten fat?"

Ailin hurriedly left Luoning's embrace and couldn't help but look down to examine herself; she felt she hadn't gotten fat.

Having not seen each other for nearly a month, Ailin naturally hadn't gained weight; on the contrary, perhaps because she had left her parents and lacked the familiar presence of Luoning, she had even lost a little weight.

"You've grown taller; how could you get fat?"

Luoning looked at Jialun and Beila, who had followed her out, but he didn't see the shadow of Chahaer, nor did he see Aierlong.

"Why are only you here at the castle?"

Luoning asked suspiciously: "Where are Aierlong and Chahaer and the others?"

Mentioning these two, Ailin's face showed some fear, and she said nervously: "Brother, a Magic Beast has appeared in our town. Dawei was hit by it and is seriously injured and unconscious; he still hasn't woken up yet!"

What?

Luoning's expression changed drastically. "Dawei was hurt by a Magic Beast? How did this happen?"

"It's the pasture in the northwest. For the past few days, two sheep have gone missing every day, so the teacher had Dawei and the Guards go see if they could find the guy stealing the sheep, but it turned out to be a Magic Beast!"

From Ailin, Luoning heard the general sequence of events.

This Magic Beast was able to strike Dawei into a state of serious injury and unconsciousness in one blow; its strength was definitely not weak. Moreover, it remained in Shanlin Town and did not leave, looking as if it didn't fear humans much.

It was necessary for Aierlong to eliminate or drive it away, but the Magic Beast's strength was still unclear, and things might go poorly if they weren't careful.

In order to prevent anyone else in the territory from getting hurt, Luoning, who had just dismounted, climbed back onto the horse; he had to go over and take a look.

"Brother Luoning, can I follow you to take a look?"

Seeing Luoning about to leave again, Ailin asked in a low voice: "I can use the Water Gathering Technique fluently now!"

Water Gathering Technique...

Luoning had wanted to refuse, but seeing her well-behaved and expectant look, he still reached out his hand. "Let's go. It's good to see the world; in the future, you will also be someone who fights Magic Beasts."

"Okay, when I'm like my mother, I'll definitely use the Water Arrow Technique to help you fight Magic Beasts!"

Ailin excitedly reached out her hand, was pulled onto the horse, and fell into Luoning's arms.

The two had just left the castle when they saw Maiken riding over; the speed of the Tayunjv was evident.

"My Lord, what is this?" Maiken asked in surprise.

"Let's go, Guard Officer, our territory has trouble."

At this time, in the shrubbery north of Wushan Lake, Aierlong and the others had just experienced a thrilling scene.

They had driven the sheep through the forest for Along time and finally found the Magic Beast; perhaps seeing that there were many people, the opponent only dashed out to roar and threaten them, without attacking.

The group finally took this opportunity to see the appearance of the Magic Beast clearly.

It was a canine Magic Beast, looking like a wolf, but its size was much larger than an ordinary wolf.

This Magic Beast was three meters long and over one point five meters tall at the shoulder; its muscle lines were clearly visible all over its body, and every muscle was full of power!

Its tail was long and fluffy, sweeping across the air like a sharp curved blade.

During the standoff, Aierlong successfully used the Light Binding Technique; four tentacles of light bound the giant beast's limbs, trapping it in place.

But just as everyone was preparing to work together to kill this big guy, they didn't expect the opponent to let out a roar, and the power it erupted with actually tore Aierlong's Magic to shreds, after which it flashed into the forest and escaped from sight.

"My heart almost stopped from fright just now!"

Dandi had the feeling of having survived a disaster; heaven knows how lucky he was to have survived yesterday.

If such a behemoth had gone for the kill, he and Dawei would likely have been eaten until not even bones remained.

The others were also covered in cold sweat and filled with panic.

Aierlong was similarly still shaken, and at the same time, he was very worried.

This Magic Beast had been discovered yesterday, and since it hadn't left today, it clearly didn't want to go.

If it didn't leave, it would affect the safety of the subjects of Shanlin Town.

Today he could still give it a few sheep to fill its stomach, but the day he stopped feeding it sheep, this guy would definitely eat people.

On the other side of Wushan Lake was the Ironwood Workshop, and twenty Slaves were currently felling trees in the Heitie Forest; with such a Magic Beast here, it not only threatened the safety of the personnel but also seriously affected the progress of the Ironwood Workshop.

"The Lord must have been delayed by something and hasn't returned yet; to deal with this guy, we must go to Huitu Village and invite the commander back."

That Magic Beast could shatter the Light Binding Technique in a breath; its power was incomparably strong, and Aierlong had no other way to deal with it.

Ruidar was currently the most powerful Transcendental in the territory; only by bringing him back would there be a chance to deal with this Magic Beast.

"Jisili and I are more familiar with the Wubei Woodland, so let me or Jisili go notify the commander."

Tuomashi of Huitu Village volunteered.

The tall and thin Knight Jisili beside him also nodded, "It's best to bring two more people; I'm afraid that if we run into that guy halfway, it'll be all over!"

Just then, Aierlong's ears twitched, "What's that sound?"

The group was startled, immediately stopped talking, and listened carefully.

Soon, they heard a whimpering sound coming from the grass not far away, just like a newborn puppy crying.

"A Magic Beast cub?"

Aierlong instantly thought of this possibility and immediately led the men to approach that direction.

They used their spears to carefully push aside the grass and happened to see a small beast covered in black fur lying there, whimpering.

This small Magic Beast seemed to have been born not long ago, as it hadn't even opened its eyes yet.

"It really is a Magic Beast cub!"

The group was shocked by this scene; no wonder that Magic Beast refused to leave Shanlin Town—it turned out it had given birth to a Magic Beast cub here.

"What should we do? Should we kill it?" someone asked.

Aierlong also did not know how to choose.

Just then, the sound of hoofbeats approached from afar, and the group's gaze could not help but turn toward it.

"Is it Ailin?"

Aierlong had sharp eyes and said excitedly, "No, it's the Lord who has returned!"

Luoning brought Ailin into the woodland and felt relieved when he saw that everyone was safe and sound.

"My Lord, you have finally returned!"

Aierlong walked up excitedly, "If you hadn't returned, I would have gone to Huitu Village to find Ruidar to come to Shanlin Town to help."

Luoning's heart stirred, "Was that Magic Beast discovered?"

"Yes, my Lord!"

Aierlong described the appearance of the Magic Beast, and Luoning searched his mind for the category of this guy, but he could not find an answer for the moment.

His predecessor had learned very little knowledge about Magic Beasts, and he had no time to cram.

"My Lord, although that Magic Beast escaped, it left a cub here."

Luoning was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. But soon, the whimpering sound entering his ears told him that what Aierlong said was true.

He immediately dismounted and walked toward the source of the sound.

"It really is a Magic Beast cub!"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Luoning's face.

A Magic Beast cub—this was a rare thing.

As everyone knows, the World of Warcraft is very difficult to domesticate, but Magic Beast cubs are different; their minds are not very mature, and their wild nature will gradually be hidden as they spend time with people.

Many families have had the experience of domesticating Magic Beast cubs.

For example, the Auduin Royal Family; it is said that they have a team of Griffins that can carry people to soar through the sky.

If Luoning could successfully domesticate this cub, its strength in the future would definitely not be inferior to its mother's.

Using it as a mount would be much cooler than a Tayunjv.

"So cute!"

Ailin's large eyes sparkled; if the other party were not a Magic Beast but a puppy, she would definitely not be able to resist picking it up.

Aierlong asked, "My Lord, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"Of course, I'll take it back and raise it myself."

Luoning smiled, "Look, it hasn't even opened its eyes yet; it's estimated to have been born less than ten days ago."

As he spoke, he wanted to bend down to pick up the whimpering little guy, but just then, a violent sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

Sorry, I spent most of the day at the hospital today and came back very late.
