Chapitre 57: Find Me a Few Beauties
Éditeur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yang Ling had wanted to seize the opportunity to tame some of the injured Magical Beasts, but he had no choice but to give up on that thought when he saw the chaotic scene filled with the terrifying lightning of the Lightning Birds and fatal poison of the Gold Thread Pythons.
Even though he could not tame them, he should be able to obtain a large number of Magical Beast Essence Crystals and Magical Beast Blood Essences! Yang Ling knew where to draw the line. As long as he had enough Magical Beast Blood Essence, he could accelerate the speed of his training. There were too many Magical Beasts engaging in this chaotic battle for him to risk charging out amongst them.
Sometime later, the Lightning Birds gradually managed to gain the upper hand with their terrifying bolts of lightning and blinding speed. A few Magical Beasts noticed that the green mist was becoming duller and their wounds were recovering more slowly. They started to retreat.
The first to retreat were the crafty Wind Wolves. With a long howl from their leader, the wolf pack abandoned nearly three hundred of their dead brethren and quickly evacuated the area. Following that, the Gold Thread Pythons and Komodo Cloud Leopards also reacted. Those who could move fled in a hurry. Slowly, more and more Magical Beasts started to retreat.
As the Magical Beasts retreated in fear, the Lightning Birds did not chase after them. They had also suffered considerable losses during the battle. They took advantage of the remaining green mist and tried their best to recover from their injuries.
Soon after, a cold breeze blew past, finally scattering the green mist. The Lightning Birds did not linger on the battlefield any longer. They circled a few times around the battlefield and left after letting out a few loud screeches. They disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
A pie, this was definitely a pie that fell from the sky!
After watching the last of the Lightning Birds vanish from the horizon, Yang Ling wasted no time in instructing his Magical Beast army to clean up the battlefield. Originally, he had thought that he could seize the opportunity to tame a few injured Lightning Birds, Wind Wolves, or Gold Thread Pythons. But regrettably, most of the Magical Beasts that were still alive were also missing a limb. Taming them wouldn't be worth the trouble.
After sighing in regret, Yang Ling instructed his Magical Beast army to quickly finish the struggling Magical Beasts before storing their corpses in his Space Ring.
An initial count told him that he had obtained the corpses of more than three hundred Wind Wolves, two hundred Gold Thread Pythons, and a hundred Lightning Birds. Other than that, he had also gathered more than three hundred corpses of various Magical Beasts. He had stumbled upon unexpected treasure. Not even counting the Essence Crystals in their bodies, the Blood Essence in the corpses was already worth an alarming sum.
The Space Ring he picked up in Valenia Valley was rather wonderful, able to hold anything that was not living while preserving the item's original state when retrieved. There was no need to worry that the Blood Essence in the corpses of the Magical Beasts would flow out and vanish if they were kept in the ring.
Neigh…
Just as Yang Ling had finished storing the corpses of the Magical Beasts and was preparing to scan the area to see if he had missed out on anything of value, the Unicorn suddenly neighed in unease. At the same time, an earth-shaking roar came from far away. The sound became increasingly louder, as if some top notch Magical Beast was approaching quickly.
In his surprise, Yang Ling quickly recalled his Evil Eyes and Horned Bee Beasts before leaving speedily on the Unicorn. If a Magical Beast could make even the Unicorn uneasy, then Yang Ling didn't want to imagine how terrifying its battle abilities might be. He did not wish to run into a Magical Beast that was even more powerful than the Nine-headed Snake Monster.
Roar!
Yang Ling had just left when a furious roar came from the blood covered battlefield, as if some terrifying Magical Beast was feeling robbed for entering the action a little late.
After hearing the furious roars of the Magical Beast, the Unicorn did not utter a sound as it moved its four legs, charging out of the edges of the forest as fast as a rocket. It looked like it was extremely cautious of the roaring Magical Beast.
Maybe I'll come back tomorrow?
Originally, after obtaining such a great haul, Yang Ling was prepared to repeat this several more times. He wanted to use the psychic spell to stimulate the release of green mist from the trees, intentionally attracting the groups of Magical Beasts to do battle one another. It was like fishing with a net. But hearing the earth-shaking roars of the top notch Magical Beast, then looking at the frantically-fleeing Unicorn, he had no choice but to give up on such a tempting idea.
No matter how good the benefits might be, he couldn't reap the rewards if he was dead. He did not wish to invite trouble while he was fishing. This time, he had been lucky enough to run away before the top notch Magical Beast had arrived at the scene. Who knew what terrifying Magical Beast he might attract at the start of the next event?
After quickly returning to Wissen Tower, Yang Ling took the corpses of the Magical Beasts out of his Space Ring, shocking the old butler Murbaqi, Casey, and the rest. No one had expected Yang Ling to be able to hunt this many Magical Beasts in a day.
"Komodo Cloud Leopards, Wind Wolves, Gold Thread Pythons… Oh god, and so many Lightning Birds!"
Digging through the Magical Beast corpses that had been piled on the ground, Casey was incredibly shocked. He rubbed his eyes and pinched hard on his thigh to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Even a powerful Sword Saint or Magical Tutor could not hunt this many Magical Beasts in a day, much less a Great Swordsman. He could not understand how Yang Ling had accomplished the feat.
Could it be that Yang Ling was hiding his abilities and possessed high level Magical Beasts that he had never shown the world?
In their surprise, the men started coming up with theories. They thought about Yang Ling's identity as an Ancient Summoner and Tree Shepherd. They recalled how even the terrifying Nine-headed Snake Demon was no match for Yang Ling. They were now more certain about their guesses.
The men were shocked, but the hearts of the barbarians that crowded over shook. As locals who would make yearly deals with the Magical Beasts, they knew better than anyone how terrifying the Magical Beasts were, especially the black Lightning Birds; they were high level Magical Beasts that no average person could deal with.
A few years ago, more than a hundred brave warriors from the tribe rallied to hunt in the deeper parts of the forest. Unfortunately, they encountered a few Lightning Birds. Other than one scout that luckily managed to escape alive, the rest of the brave warriors all fell in battle, yet Yang Ling had managed to effortlessly hunt this many Lightning Birds. The barbarians felt that they were lucky for not coming into conflict with Yang Ling when they first met him. Otherwise, their clan might have been exterminated by the large horde of Magical Beasts under his command.
"Sir, did you kill all of these Magical Beasts?" Casey asked after a moment's hesitation, unable to hold in his surprise.
"No, I am not that powerful!" Looking at the dumbfounded Casey, Yang Ling let out a mysterious smile. "I went for a walk in Terras Forest to get some fresh air and happened to encounter a large group of Magical Beasts fighting each other. This was just a bargain I picked up!"
He picked up this many Magical Beasts while just going for a stroll?
Hearing Yang Ling's explanation and looking at his mysterious smile, the crowd shook their heads. If something good like this could happen by coincidence, the hunters in Wissen Town would have all become millionaires. But since Yang Ling was unwilling to elaborate further, no one was clueless enough to continue asking. Even the reckless leader of the barbarians, Jarlock, was no exception.
"Murbaqi, quickly get some men to storing the Blood Essence of the Magical Beasts. Don't waste it!" After rubbing his blood-stained sleeve, Yang Ling gave a few more detailed instructions to the shocked old butler before leaving.
Just as the crowd was still in shock, the tactician Goode quickly came to his senses. "Sir, the progress on the inn is smooth, and we will be able to start work soon. Do you want to head over to take a look?"
"No need, you can settle that. You can make decisions on trivial matters on your own next time!" After they had come up with the overall plan, Yang Ling was not interested in wasting too much effort on the unimportant details. He patted his forehead and said, "Oh yes, Murbaqi, help me pick out twenty beautiful ladies with a good demeanor, then ask Sofia for ten tall and slender young elf ladies. I have an urgent use for them!"
Pick out twenty beautiful ladies for urgent use?
The shock came in waves! The crowd still had not come to their senses from the appearance of the enormous pile of Magical Beast corpses. They could not help but freeze when they heard Yang Ling's words. The ladies had to not only be beautiful, but also have good demeanors. Could it be that Yang Ling was preparing to…
As Harribell's butler, Murbaqi had seen countless people of differing backgrounds, from chauvinistic nobles to bullies who would commit any evil deeds, but he had never seen someone as straightforward as Yang Ling. Others would be secretive about it when they were searching for a lover, but Yang Ling did not hold back on his words even in front of this many guards and servants.
"This… I understand, the bar and winery are getting very busy, it is time to hire a few more helpers!" Murbaqi was quick on the uptake, rapidly finding an excuse for Yang Ling. He had hoped to help Yang Ling salvage his image in front of this many people.
"Are the bar and winery that busy? Why haven't I heard about it? I am going to have this batch of ladies focus on serving people!" Feeling that his cultivation level had improved greatly, Yang Ling wanted to hurry back to observe his abilities more closely. He had not picked up on the problems in his words just now. "Also, help me order a batch of dresses like this, with a split near the upper thigh!"
Yang Ling nonchalantly drew a qipao-like dress and handed it to Murbaqi. Yang Ling did not worry about too many details when he had such a reliable old butler.
Focus on serving people, tailored dresses, a slit near the upper thigh?
The old butler was petrified, utterly speechless. He had tried his best to salvage the situation, fearing that there would be negative consequences, but Yang Ling had made himself crystal-clear.
