Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's Disciple

While the wolf-like magical beasts certainly have a keen sense of smell, the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, Heaven and Earth Oddities, is undoubtedly even more powerful.

Yang Shan hadn't actually gone too far.

After activating the "Strange Speed" property of the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, Yang Shan covered the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning under his skin the instant the effect of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" ended.

Its Strange Concealment properties not only conceal its presence but also provide excellent masking of scents.

As long as Yang Shan doesn't make any rash moves, even the Black Gatekeeper Thunder Wolf won't be able to detect anything!

Yang Shan remained hidden in the bushes until Lei Er and Yan San had both left before he got up.

They returned to where Su Yitang was.

Su Yitang performed her duties diligently and prevented the two fourth-tier King of Beasts from escaping.

However, Su Yitang did not use any restrictive Dou Technique, nor did she beat the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor half to death like Yang Shan did before.

Su Yitang sat on the ground, leaning against a tree trunk, with the Whitey Cat lying on her lap.

Su Yitang was gently scratching the Whitey Cat's chin with her fingers.

The Blacky Dog lay to the side, its two front paws pressing against a leg bone, its mouth wide open, biting hard with its teeth.

"Meow!"

The Whitey Cat meowed, jumped off Su Yitang's lap, and looked at Yang Shan warily.

Seeing the Blacky Dog still struggling with its leg bone, the Whitey Cat was furious. It kicked the Blacky Dog in the head and yelled, "Black Da Sha, be on guard! Be on guard!"

"Woof Woof Woof! Where's the enemy? Where's the enemy?"

The Blacky Dog scanned the surroundings warily.

"No, there are no enemies!"

The Whitey Cat hissed at the Blacky Dog, "You're so stupid!"

Blacky Dog: "Woof! I'm not stupid! I'm not stupid!"

Hearing the commotion, Su Yitang stood up and said happily:

"Boss, you're here! They're very well-behaved!"

Yang Shan nodded.

It's perfectly normal for girls to like kittens and puppies.

Yang Shan never expected that these two young King of Beasts would be "trapped" by Su Yitang in such a simple way.

Yang Shan turned his gaze to the cat and the dog.

This Whitey Cat is very delicate-looking, but it looks no different from a real-life "Chinese Garden Cat".

(Young Snow Moon Cat)

The Blacky Dog is the same; it's a typical "Chinese Garden Dog".

However, the Blacky Dog in front of me looked a bit dull, with a clear sense of foolishness in its eyes.

(Young Dark Moon Dog)

But Yang Shan, who was well-informed, would not look down on the cat and dog simply because of their appearance.

Just like the elderly folks in Guangdong, dressed simply, yet their house keys weigh a whopping twenty or thirty pounds! This is the King of Beasts!

The benchmark is the Five-Colored Word Seal! Even with the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, Yang Shan's current stats don't qualify as a true Five-Colored Word Seal, as his health and defense are dragging him down.

Moreover, considering the background of Battle Through the Heavens and the current performance of these two cubs.

These two cubs are probably the kind that are friendly to humans.

In fact, most of the monsters that appear in the original work are ferocious, but there are no monsters like cats or dogs in the original work.

Tian Yao Company also specially designed some monster races that are friendly to humans.

This way, players can have more fun when they interact with the game.

The "dogs" and "cats" that players encounter most often in real life naturally belong to this category.

Yang Shan also remembered the conversation between the two little guys before, when the little Dark Moon Dog said that it did not sense any malice.

This is a good sign.

Yang Shan's mind began to stir.

As the "Blade Sovereign," he should be arrogant and domineering. He was too lazy to cultivate the Thousand Beast King, but the King of Beasts, even if he becomes Dou Zun in the future, the combat power of the eighth-level King of Beasts will be ridiculously strong!

It's worth investing time and resources to cultivate them.

However, these young animals are quite different from "monster eggs".

In terms of taming difficulty, monster eggs are the easiest to tame. Once the baby monsters have self-awareness, taming them becomes much more difficult.

Some adult magical beasts, if they are truly proud and arrogant, will not sign a "blood pact" even if they die.

Comparatively speaking, the dog and cat races, who have a relatively good relationship with humans, have a better chance of taming even young magical beasts.

But considering the words "King of Beasts," Yang Shan felt that without some special methods, it definitely wouldn't work.

Although Yang Shan was thinking this way, he wouldn't show it on the surface. He expressionlessly scanned the little Dark Moon Dog and the Snow Moon Cat, and said indifferently:

"You two little brats, tell me honestly why you were hiding to the side, acting so suspiciously!"

Yang Shan did not use the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning; he simply shook the Blood Roar Blade in his hand, and a section of the blade emerged from the Blade Sheath.

The chilling light combined with Yang Shan's Scarlet Spirit Cloak was enough to achieve an effect of "imposing without anger".

The little Dark Moon Dog was so frightened by Yang Shan that it lay down on the ground.

Even Fourth-Order Magical Beast, like the King of Beasts, would find it difficult to resist when faced with Dou Huang expert like Yang Shan, who could kill Seventh-Rank Magical Beast.

Snow Moon Cat then tugged at Su Yitang's skirt with its paws:

"Sister, could you please talk to your friend for me? Don't scare us like that."

The King of Beasts is truly extraordinary; he can speak even at the fourth rank.

Su Yitang didn't believe that Yang Shan was the kind of person who would kill such a cute creature.

Although it's unclear what Yang Shan's purpose was in doing this, Su Yitang was certain she would cooperate.

Su Yitang sighed, "Whitey Cat, I can't help you with this. I already call him boss, so you should know that I have a lower status and can't say anything."

Seeing this, Snow Moon Cat sighed like an old man, walked over to Dark Moon Dog, and kicked it hard in the rear. "Stop lying there! Go wag your tail!"

Dark Moon Dog looked bewildered. "Will it work?"

Snow Moon Cat: "How should I know? Our ancestors said that you dogs wag your tails at kind people and you'll be treated kindly. Didn't you say you didn't sense any malice? Hurry up and go! Otherwise, we'll both die here today!"

Dark Moon Dog seemed to trust Snow Moon Cat exceptionally. It stood up and trotted over to Yang Shan.

"Woof! Hahahaha."

The Dark Moon Dog, its tongue lolling out, wagged its tail frantically, shoveling up a considerable amount of dirt from the ground.

Yang Shan almost lost his composure.

He's not some terrible person; his family used to keep cats and dogs, and he just forced himself to resist squatting down to pet the Dark Moon Dog's head.

It's safe to say that Tian Yao Company is truly cunning in its game development. Just by looking at its appearance, who would know that this silly little black dog is actually a fourth-tier King of Beasts? "Seriously, what exactly makes this guy resemble King of Beasts?"

Yang Shan's hand trembled again as he sheathed the Blood Roar Blade Sheath: "I am not a bloodthirsty person, but you still need to explain clearly what you are trying to do by hiding in the shadows!"

Snow Moon Cat: "Us."

Yang Shan: "Don't say anything yet, he's the one wagging his tail at me right now!"

Yang Shan finally understood: the Dark Moon Dog was rather simple-minded, while the Snow Moon Cat was clearly much more mature and cautious.

Therefore, having the Dark Moon Dog confess would make it easier for them to reveal the truth.

Snow Moon Cat wanted to say something more, but Yang Shan's eyes immediately turned cold.

Snow Moon Cat sensed something was wrong and could only keep quiet, praying in his heart that Dark Moon Dog wouldn't say too much.

Dark Moon Dog tentatively said:

"This human Dou Emperor, we..."

Yang Shan: "My title Blade Sovereign!"

Dark Moon Dog appeared even more fearful. "So you are a great figure among the human race, True Lord. Bai Xiao Guai and I were searching for food for our clan in the forest when we accidentally sensed an extremely terrifying fluctuation of Demon Energy, so we sneaked over to take a look."

Yang Shan: Oh? Looking for food for the tribe?

Yang Shan feigned curiosity and said, "With your meager strength, you were actually sent out to find food. It seems your clan is not a great clan."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Moon Dog immediately retorted, "Woof! Blade Sovereign, don't underestimate my clan! My clan was once the royal family of Black Moon Ridge. Even the human rulers of Black-Corner Region had to treat our clan with utmost respect!"

Snow Moon Cat couldn't take it anymore and angrily shouted, "Black Da Sha, are you a pig? Even pigs aren't as stupid as you!"

"Woof Woof Woof! Bai Xiao Guai, you're smarter than me, but you can't scold me! Everyone in the tribe praises me for being smart and capable; I'm sure I'll lead the tribe in the future."

At this point, Dark Moon Dog seemed to realize something as well:

"Blade Sovereign, I'm sorry. I was trying to act tough so you wouldn't attack us. To be honest, I'm just a little black dog, and my companion is just an ordinary Whitey Cat."

Yang Shan asked:

"Your name is Black Da Sha, right?"

Dark Moon Dog exclaimed in surprise, "Blade Sovereign, you are amazing! You actually guessed my name!"

Yang Shan: "."

Snow Moon Cat Bai Xiao Guai has completely given up. It lies on the ground, covering its eyes with its front paws.

"I shouldn't have brought this stupid thing out with me! Why am I so unlucky, meow!"

If the information wasn't clearly displayed on the panel, Yang Shan would have seriously doubted the identity of this Dark Moon Dog.

This person's intelligence is truly beyond words. Black Da Sha, truly lives up to his name!

Yang Shan started a brainstorming session.

This Dark Moon Dog Black Da Sha, the kind that would even help count the money if you sold it.

But this Snow Moon Cat named Bai Xiao Guai is clearly much smarter.

Although these two races have a relatively close relationship with humans, they are still magical beasts, and it will take some effort to gain their complete trust.

Yang Shan tentatively asked:

Have you ever heard of the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord?

Black Da Sha replied almost instantly:

"Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord? Who is that?"

Bai Xiao Guai still wanted to struggle a bit, so it chose to answer honestly:

"My Lord, I do not know who Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is."

Hearing the answer, Yang Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you don't know! If you don't know, it means that the rebellion of the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger clans has nothing to do with Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord! Then Yang Shan can make up a story!

Yang Shan introduced, "Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is my mentor. He came to Black Moon Ridge a thousand years ago and entrusted me with some matters."

The cultivation technique left behind by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is located in the central area of Black Moon Ridge.

A thousand years ago, that place must have belonged to either the Dark Moon Dog Clan or the Snow Moon Cat Clan.

Moreover, dogs and cats are naturally close to humans.

From this perspective, it is highly likely that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord met with the two royal families at that time.

And it's highly likely that there was no conflict.

Given this, there are many things that can be done in this process.

Of course, it's also possible that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord has never met with either of the two races, but that wouldn't have any negative impact on Yang Shan's plans.

If you've met them before, or even had some contact with them, things will go much more smoothly.

It's worth a try.

Yang Shan: "Bai Xiao Guai!"

Bai Xiao Guai straightened up. "Blade Sovereign, we are no match for you. We can discuss any requests you may have."

Yang Shan:

"I have heard my master mention that your two clans are the royal families of Black Moon Ridge. Although I do not know what changes have occurred to your two clans, if I were to ask you two to lead me to your clans..."

Bai Xiao Guai: "Impossible, Blade Sovereign! Even if you threaten us with our lives, we will absolutely not take you to the clan!"

Yang Shan smiled faintly, "Listen to me. I know you won't take me with you, so go back and bring an elder from your clan to chat with me. I refuse to believe that your clan's elders have already forgotten my master."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao Guai secretly glanced at Black Da Sha.

From this small detail, Yang Shan knew that Bai Xiao Guai understood that he had left Black Da Sha here as a hostage! "I understand, I will do as the True Lord wishes."

After Bai Xiao Guai finished speaking, she yelled at Black Da Sha, "Big Fool!"

Black Da Sha pricked up his ears:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Bai Xiao Guai: "You stay here wagging your tail, I'll go back and ask the elders of the clan to come and pick you up!"

Black Da Sha: "Uh, there's no need. I'll go back with you."

"You're so stupid you might as well die!"

Bai Xiao Guai cursed and turned to leave in a hurry.

Su Yitang was frantically sending messages to Yang Shan in the group chat.

But Yang Shan was thinking about how to get in touch with the two royal families at the time, so he didn't reply much.

Now he can explain his plan to Su Yitang.

Su Yitang: "Wow! Boss, you came up with such a great plan in such a short time!"

Yang Shan: "Isn't that awesome?"

Su Yitang: "Boss, you're like a cow flying in an airplane—absolutely awesome!"

Yang Shan: "Let's coordinate better. Each player can only have one Blood Pact Magical Beast. We might as well take advantage of this!"

Su Yitang: "Waaah, I knew it! As long as I loyally follow the boss, I'll definitely reach the pinnacle of life! Boss, do you want a cat or a dog?"

Yang Shan: "It's not even close to being settled yet, why the rush? Let's take it one step at a time!"

Su Yitang: "Boss, you're right! Just tell me what you need, and I'll do it!"

It's unclear whether Bai Xiao Guai was faster or the two royal families were currently hiding in a nearby location, but in less than ten minutes, Bai Xiao Guai arrived with an old man in black.

[Ink Thunder Dog - Hei Jing] (King of Beasts) Level: Seventh Order

Attribute: Thunder

Qi and Blood: 1,800,000 Attack: 8,000 Defense: 5,800 Speed: 2,500 Upon seeing Yang Shan, the old man in black bowed and said, "The disciple of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is so young, yet he already has a title. I am Hei Jing, and I greet Blade Sovereign Black Thorn!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Shan knew:

This is in the bag!

PS: I'll post what Black Da Sha and Bai Xiao Guai will look like as adults later; I'll leave this as a cliffhanger for now.
