MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 44 [044] Start early and choose a mount
Chapter 44 [044] Start early and choose a mount
After dinner, Ning Xiu sat on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, closed his eyes and calmed down, listening to the sound of green bamboo swaying and the wind blowing through the courtyard's wind chimes.
I have to say that the residence that Fu Mosi assigned to him is really good.
Clean and quiet, much better than the yard where he lived before. If the place where he lived before was a large courtyard, then he now lives in a small villa.
two words, comfortable.
"Does Ning Xiu live here?"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, and Ning Xiu immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the door of the courtyard.
I saw Ren Qianxing, Monk Zhengwu, and Ren Qianxing's two puppets looking in and watching, and they just met Ning Xiu's gaze.
"It's you, how did you two find this place?" Ning Xiu quickly got up from the bamboo chair and walked over to greet him with a smile.
After gobbling down in the restaurant, Ning Xiu learned from the restaurant's shopkeeper that it took a whole day for him to develop martial arts this time.
According to the date agreed with the monk Zhengwu, it should be tomorrow. I didn't expect these two to come to find me in person today.
"You suddenly changed your residence, but it's really hard to find. I inquired with the adults who manage the residence of Fu Mowei, only to find out that you have been promoted to Bronze Leopard Fumowei and moved to Zhuju Garden," Ren said. Qianxing clasped his fists and smiled, "Brother Ning, congratulations, I will have to call you Lord Ning in the future."
"Hey, Brother Ren, please don't be so polite. I hear it, but my ears hurt. We should just call it the same as before." Ning Xiu shook his head.
"Master Ning, the last time I saw you in the Sansheng Temple was the seventh-rank Martial Dao, but today you have become the fifth-rank Martial Dao. With such amazing progress, could it be that you were the one who triggered the three-level cross-rank vision the day before yesterday?" The monk Zhengwu asked curiously.
Hearing what he said, Ren Qianxing immediately noticed this blind spot that he just hadn't discovered.
Good guy! In the past two days, the seventh-grade martial arts directly broke through to the fifth-rank martial arts. Even the ancestors of the martial arts a few hundred years ago may not have such an amazing move.
Ren Qianxing suddenly had an idea in his mind, could it be that Brother Ning has the resources of a Martial Saint?
"It's true, I hope the two of you keep this matter a secret, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble." Ning Xiu nodded in response.
Ren Qianxing and Monk Zhengwu's facial expressions instantly became quite exciting, and they all said: "Yes, we must be tight-lipped."
There was a person in the Fumo Division who caused a triple vision with a cross-grade, and this matter has already spread throughout the Fumo Division.
Everyone is wondering who that person is, and Ren Qianxing and the monk Zhengwu are no exception.
"Why did you two come to see me today? Didn't we say we would only leave for Yunxia Mountain tomorrow." Ning Xiu asked.
Ren Qianxing explained: "Things have changed, and the Fu Mowei who returned from the trip brought back news that the official road to Yunxia Mountain suffered a landslide a few days ago, and the entire road was blocked by the collapsed rocks. Now, if you want to go to Yunxia Mountain, you have to take a long detour, which will definitely take a lot of time, so I thought of coming over with Zhengwu to tell you that I will leave today."
"There is such a thing..." Ning Xiu Dun was surprised.
However, natural and earthly disasters are inevitable and unpredictable. This is also something that can’t be done. It’s better to fix it and have nothing to do with it. It’s not less than a day or two.
went back to the house and brought the thunder hammer and a package with spare clothes, and Ning Xiu followed Ren Qianxing and the others out of the house.
"This time with Yunxia Mountain, we also found two friends. One is not in the Fumo Division, but will be waiting for us on the way, while the other is already waiting at the Beast Control Workshop."
On the way , Ren Qianxing introduced to Ning Xiu as he walked.
"Beast Control Workshop? There is still this place in the Fumo Division." It was the first time Ning Xiu heard the name, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"You haven't performed tasks that require you to go to other states, so it's normal to not know the Beastmaster Workshop.
Ordinary horses can only run a few hundred miles a day. Although a thousand miles of horses can run for thousands of miles, they have insufficient stamina and cannot be used much. They can also be used when performing tasks in Jingzhou, where Chaotian is located.
In order to improve the efficiency of the journey, Fu Mosi specially set up a beast-control workshop one hundred and sixty years ago, to catch those strange beasts with strange physiques, but they did not enlighten the demons and come back to domesticate them.
As a mount for the Demon Commander who performs tasks across the state, using exotic beasts as mounts, the efficiency of traveling is much higher than that of horses.
Yunxia Mountain is located in Yunze Prefecture, and the help of exotic animals can help us reach Yunxia Mountain faster. "Ren Qianxing explained patiently.
Although Ning Xiu is a fifth-rank martial artist, he has been in the Fu Mo Si for a short time, and he knows very little.
Having someone like Ren Qianxing introduce him would save Ning Xiu a lot of time in his understanding of Fu Mo Si.
It is worth mentioning that, in fact, Ning Xiu should call Ren Qianxing a senior. Both of them are apprentices of the Champion Camp, but Ren Qianxing was selected a year or two earlier than him.
Came to the Beast Control Workshop, which is a compound built in the north corner of Fumosi.
Except for the gate, the courtyard walls are all made of iron pillars as thick as one person and three people tall, which seems to prevent something from escaping from the inside.
"Roar!"
"Well!"
"Moo!"
“咩~~”
"Ah~~~"
Even before he entered the gate of the Beast Control Workshop, Ning Xiu heard all kinds of strange calls from inside.
Some look like ligers, some look like cattle and some sheep, and some can't be guessed at all.
"Most of the exotic beasts in the animal control workshop were born from the rare and exotic beasts that the ancestors of Fu Mosi captured from various states during the construction in the early years. Now they have been domesticated for several generations, and there is no wild nature. You will go out to execute them in the future. If you encounter wild beasts during the mission, if you don’t mind the trouble, you can catch them back and hand them over to the Beast Mastering Workshop, which can also increase your merits at the end of the month.”
Ren Qianxing was the first to walk into the workshop, and after crossing a wide road, the three came to the inside of the Beast Controlling Workshop.
This place is truly unique. When you reach the end of the road, Ning Xiu will see an iron bridge leading to the other side.
Under the bridge is a dark green duckweed, a vast pond with its head bowed and its depth unknown.
It can be seen that the dragonfly is flying low on the water surface, sometimes the dragonfly touches the water, and sometimes rests on the lotus leaf for a while.
For a while, Ning Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how much land did Fu Mosi occupy in Chaotian Capital?
Just as Ning Xiu was about to get on the bridge, the water on the left suddenly trembled with ripples and ripples.
A blue crab with a bare crab shell the size of the Eight Immortals Table, not counting the legs, floated up directly from under the water.
Immediately after, the whole body of the blue crab was raised above the water surface, just like walking on water, and it was wading across the pond, which was very miraculous.
However, before Ning Xiu could express his appreciation, it suddenly sank into the pond with a thud. On the other hand, looking at the place where the blue crab appeared, a huge black shadow appeared.
As it swelled above the water, Ning Xiu realized that it was actually a giant tortoise two feet long.
"These are exotic aquatic beasts, which are specially used in rivers, lakes and seas to exterminate evil spirits. I remember that there should be two kinds of giant snail crabs and red-armored toads below, but they are rarely seen in daily life."
Ren Qianxing and Monk Zhengwu were obviously not the first time to come to this place. When they saw the giant tortoise and blue crab, there was no strange expression on their faces at all.
Ning Xiu was secretly amazed, and he felt very much looking forward to what kind of beast he would choose to travel this time.
walked over the iron bridge and came to a large hall, and immediately a tall woman in black silver chain mail greeted her.
This girl has apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, and she is valiant and heroic. Even if she wears the same black silver chain armor as all the demon warriors, her long legs are extremely attractive.
"Why did you come here, I've been waiting here for a long time." The tall slender woman complained.
"Sorry, Senior Sister Xia, I took a little time on the road. Let me introduce to you, this is Ning Xiu, the new Bronze Leopard Demon Fighter." Ren Qianxing pointed at Ning Xiu.
"Five ranks of martial arts! My subordinate, Xia Yunsi, has seen the adults." The tall slender woman hurriedly saluted.
"No need, you are Brother Ren's friend, so just call me Ning Xiu."
Although he is now a bronze leopard subduing demon captain, and his rank is higher than that of Ren Qianxing and Xia Yunsi, the iron horse subduing demon captains, but Ning Xiu is not very fond of people who don't like to call him an adult or an adult. .
"Senior Sister Xia, have you chosen the alien beast?" Ren Qianxing asked.
"It's long overdue, I chose a black tiger, and you can set off as soon as you pick it up."
Ren Qianxing nodded: "Then I and Zhengwu will choose Heifeng as always. Brother Ning, what kind of beast do you want to choose?"
Ning Xiu doesn't care about this point. In his heart, he just thinks it's okay to be a strange beast. Where there is a big difference, he said, "I'm as good as you, so don't waste time on selection."
Hearing his words, Xia Yunsi actually cast a look of admiration, and his expression was inexplicably hesitant.
seemed to want to say something, but she held back.
"Okay, come here then." Ren Qianxing led the crowd to the back door of the main hall, where all the alien beasts who were specializing in moving on land were locked in this place.
…
When Ning Xiu saw the three alien beasts locked in the iron cage in front of him, his expression and mood were very complicated, and he suddenly didn't think of this far-off place very much in his heart.
"Hum! Hum!"
"Hum!"
In the iron cage, there are three wild boars with black hair that is shiny and shiny.
Their eyes are piercing, their limbs are muscular, and their tusks are as sharp as spears.
But... but it's far from the handsome beast that Ning Xiu had imagined in his mind before he came.
Ren Qianxing, do you call this 'Black Wind'? Does your conscience not hurt?
"Don't look at Heifeng as wild boars, but they are smart, and they are extremely good at sprinting. Their endurance is very strong, but they can travel thousands of miles a day without getting tired. Every time I go out to perform a mission, I must choose a strange beast." Ren Qianxing introduced Ning Xiu proudly.
"Hum!" The three wild boars immediately sat on the ground with their butts on the ground, their front legs propped up their upper bodies, and under Ren Qianxing's appreciation, they raised their heads in cooperation with proud expressions.
At the same time, he did not forget to wink at Ning Xiu and the others.
"Monster, this is definitely a monster, no wild boar would wink at people." Ning Xiu pointed out, surprised.
Ren Qianxing looked at the three wild boars with a look of relief on his face: "Brother Ning, don't worry, Hei Feng is smart and good at learning, I taught them all these movements, don't you think this kind of Hei Feng is particularly charming? On top of that, they have other moves, black wind, and strong aesthetics."
As soon as the voice fell, the three wild boars stood up immediately and tried their best. Their muscles were like inflated balloons, and they swelled up one after another. There were clearly visible muscle lines and full muscles everywhere.
boom!
The three wild boars hit each other with their hips to make a strong and powerful collision sound.
This picture, um... It's really hard to describe.
But to be able to use such well-trained movements in the Wild Boar Church, I have to say that Ren Qianxing is indeed a talent.
"Brother Ren, I suddenly want to change to another beast, so... just pick the one in the cage in the corner." Ning Xiu pointed to an iron cage not far away.
Although the alien beast in the cage was shrinking into a ball at this time, its body was white and black, making it difficult to see what it looked like.
But I believe that no matter what, that guy should be more normal than the three wild boars who were specially trained by Ren Qianxing.
Ren Qianxing turned his head to look at the cage that Ning Xiu pointed to, and after seeing the alien beast in the cage, he immediately persuaded: "Brother Ning, I advise you not to choose that alien beast, that guy has a dull personality, The mind is stupid and the body is bloated, although the speed of the road is not bad, but it is not a good choice as a mount for going out, please look here, I will tell you about the other advantages of the black wind."
"alright?"
As soon as the voice fell, the strange beast that was originally motionless raised its round head instantly. Looking at Ningxiu and the others with very blank eyes.
Dark ears, white head, dark eye circles…
"This is not that big bear..." Ning Xiu was shocked.
"That's right, it's an iron-eating beast." Ren Qianxing said.
Good guy, even the piercing beasts in prison were captured by you as mounts.
Ningxiu hurriedly walked over and stood outside the iron cage to observe.
This iron-eating beast is obviously much bigger than a giant panda, and it can carry just one person on its back.
Judging from its thick back and strong limbs, there should be no problem accepting itself plus the weight of the Thunder Hammer.
"Brother Ren, I'm sure, I'll choose it." Ning Xiu said, pointing to the iron-eating beast in the iron cage.
"Yeah." The iron-eating beast sat up and stretched, leaning back against the iron cage, while grabbing a piece of bamboo on the ground beside him, he took it to his mouth and chewed it. The old **** was watching Ning Xiu with an expression on his face. dull.
As Ren Qianxing said, this guy has a dull personality and a stupid mind.
Now that they have chosen the mounts they want, their own experts from the Beast Mastering Workshop have come to select the exotic animals for Ning Xiu and the others, equipped with special saddles and reins to make them easier to control when they go out.
Sitting on their respective exotic beast mounts, the group quickly left the Fumo Division through the passage dedicated to exotic animals, rushed out of Chaotiandu, and headed towards Yunze Prefecture.
