Playing Off Each Other to Get a Quest
Black Thorn and Bai Li, one on each side like guards, escorted Yang Shan and Su Yitang into the forbidden area.
Bai Xiao Guai wanted to struggle, but seeing Bai Li's pleading eyes, she had no choice but to give up and let Su Yitang knead her as she pleased!
"Your Great Princess, for the sake of our clan, we have no choice but to ask you to make this sacrifice."
Although this forbidden area is located beneath the lake, its interior is strangely large, as if it were another world altogether.
Here, Yang Shan saw many cats and dogs.
The most common ones are "Thunder Spirit Hound" and "Flame Spirit Cat".
These two magical beasts have the opportunity to become the "King of Beasts" after reaching adulthood.
The "Ink Thunder Hound" and "White Flame Cat" are relatively rare.
Both of these magical beast bloodlines will inevitably become the King of Beasts upon reaching adulthood, and have the potential to become the Thousand Beast King.
As for the Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat, Yang Shan didn't see a single one.
But that's not surprising.
After all, even the supreme being of the Magical Beast Realm in the original work, the "Ancient Void Dragon," has different bloodlines.
Those with lower bloodlines might just be the Thousand Beast King.
Most monster races have a "leveling" system for their bloodlines.
Just like the Amethyst Winged Lion King of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the lowest bloodline of this race is the fifth-tier elite "Amethyst Spotted Lion".
After advancing in bloodline, it becomes the fifth-tier King of Beasts "Amethyst Winged Mysterious Lion," and after further advancement, it becomes the fifth-tier Thousand Beast King "Amethyst Flame Lion."
The next level up is the "Amethyst Winged Lion King"! And the Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat should be the "final advanced bloodline" of the Black Moon Ridge Hound Clan and Cat Clan.
Neither Black Thorn nor Bai Li have reached the peak of their bloodline.
Yang Shan finally learned about the current situation of the two royal families from Black Thorn and Bai Li.
It's almost identical to the description in the panel of the Black Gatekeeper Thunder Wolf "Lei San".
The Ghoul Wolf Clan and the Ghost Tiger Clan have long harbored rebellious intentions. Five hundred years ago, these two clans deliberately set a trap, claiming that there was a rare and precious treasure in a certain place that could allow magical beasts to break through to the eighth rank.
At that time, the "kings" of the two royal families, Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat, were already close to the Seventh Order Peak.
The two King of Beasts naturally wanted to use this treasure to reach the eighth rank.
Unexpectedly, the rare and precious materials were real, but there was only one available.
Although the two races jointly governed Black Moon Ridge and had a fairly good relationship, the allure of the eighth rank prompted the two King of Beasts to fight each other.
Before the two King of Beasts could determine a winner, they encountered an unexpected turn of events.
A group of fiery-winged, Phoenix -like magical beasts are chasing a white-feathered divine bird.
That white-feathered divine bird was actually at the Seventh Order Peak.
Unexpectedly, six members of the Fire Phoenix Clan were at the Seventh Order Peak! The White Jade Divine Bird eventually disappeared, and the Fire Phoenix Clan set their sights on rare and precious materials.
The two King of Beasts, unwilling to let the rare treasures be taken away, joined forces again, but the opposing "Phoenix" had more troops and was more powerful.
The two King of Beasts were eventually killed.
But the fire Phoenix were still not satisfied. They found the habitats of the two major races and slaughtered them.
The Ghoul Wolf Clan and the Ghost Tiger Clan had already hidden themselves away. By the time the group of Fire Phoenix had calmed down, most of the experts from the two royal clans had been killed.
The Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger immediately rebelled.
In the end, the two royal families fought their way out and, with their last remaining bloodline, arrived at the forbidden area, where they eked out a living.
After hearing this "story," Su Yitang secretly sent a message to Yang Shan:
"Boss, I have a feeling this is related to the Strange Wind encounter I had before!"
At that time Su Yitang encountered a severely injured white bird in the mysterious space, which was suspected to be Sky Luan. The Sky Luan gave Su Yitang Su Yitang blue egg, told her to go to Central Plains, and then died.
Yang Shan: "Yes, if we're going to hunt down the Sky Luan, that Phoenix with fiery wings is very likely the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. After all, in the original story, the Heavenly Luan Clan is no pushover."
Su Yitang: "Wow, the planners at Tian Yao Company are really good at making up stories! It seems that the blue egg must be very important!"
Yang Shan: "Hmm, it's very likely that they are of royal blood from the Heavenly Luan Clan or something. Hurry up and get to the Dou Emperor, and find a way to get to Central Plains!"
Su Yitang: "I want to too! Isn't this about creating Blood Pact Magical Beast? In the future, I can hold Snow Moon Cat in my arms and use the Sky Luan as a mount, hehe!"
Yang Shan: "Heh heh, you're dreaming big! Hurry up and cooperate with me!"
The more Black Thorn and Bai Li talked, the more heartbroken they became. In the end, even the old man Black Thorn couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Woof! Woof!"
Bai Li: "Meow."
What was supposed to be a sad story was ruined by the shouts of these two old men!
Su Yitang looked worried. "Yang Shan."
Yang Shan glared at Su Yitang, Su Yitang then changed her mind and said, "Boss, they're quite pitiful, why don't we help them?"
Yang Shan: "Didn't your master teach you that you can't be too kind when you're out and about? If you see someone pitiful, you should help them. But can we help everyone?"
Su Yitang's current role is to be a "good-natured person," and she must give Black Thorn and Bai Li a reason to ask Yang Shan for help! Only then can Yang Shan make his demands with a clear conscience.
Su Yitang continued to persuade:
"They have a relationship with your master."
Yang Shan: "My master traveled the continent back then and had many connections with them! Besides, it was my master who did good deeds for those two races, not the other way around! They haven't even repaid what they owed them yet!"
Black Thorn wanted to say something, but Bai Li tugged at Black Thorn's sleeve and gave her a look.
Black Thorn had no choice but to shut up.
The two senior figures listened quietly to Yang Shan and Su Yitang's conversation.
Seeing that Yang Shan was unmoved by her words, Su Yitang deliberately mocked, "I think it's not that you don't want to help, it's that you, Yang Shan, are not capable enough and are afraid of making boastful claims and then embarrassing yourself in the end."
Yang Shan flew into a rage, acting like a proud and arrogant human prodigy who had been looked down upon. "What? You dare say I'm not capable enough? Did I get my title of Blade Sovereign for nothing? I've already killed more than a dozen Dou Zong! If I really had that kind of ambition, those Baleful Wolf Ghost Tiger would be nothing but a fart in front of me!"
Why did Yang Shan deliberately give Su Yitang the identity of a Dou Zun disciple?
It's all for now!
Although Su Yitang calls Yang Shan "boss", the two are actually of similar status, so Su Yitang can argue with Yang Shan.
During their verbal sparring, the things they say will naturally reach the ears of those who are interested.
Black Thorn and Bai Li exchanged a glance.
Although I don't know what gives Yang Shan the audacity to make such a boast.
However, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord has most likely already transcended the Dou Zun realm.
His disciples naturally cannot be regarded as ordinary Dou Emperor.
How could an ordinary Dou Emperor possibly kill Lei San? Yang Shan even claimed he had already killed over a dozen Dou Zong! Even Black Thorn was shocked.
My goodness! Blade Sovereign is truly valiant!
Compared to Bai Li, who was more wary, Black Thorn knelt down directly before Yang Shan:
"We implore Blade Sovereign to consider the past favors shown to Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord and save our clan!"
Yang Shan frowned:
"Why are you kneeling? I hate it when people kneel before me!"
Su Yitang chimed in from the side, "Come on, I know you too well. You soften up the moment someone asks you for something."
I soften my heart the moment I ask!
What are we waiting for? Bai Li didn't care about anything else and immediately knelt down:
"Please, Blade Sovereign, save my clan!"
Yang Shan rebuked, "What do you mean? What do you mean? Are you trying to pin this on me, the True Lord?"
Bai Li was much more thoughtful than Black Thorn. She immediately explained, "True Lord, our two clans have owed your master a debt of gratitude in the past. If you can help our two clans, we will definitely repay you handsomely!"
"A generous reward? In your current dire state, what can you possibly offer to impress this True Lord?"
Yang Shan crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if he were truly the savior of both races.
He tried to keep his tone casual as he began:
"Fine, fine. I only care about the bloodlines of your two clans. If you need my help, after it's done, Fairy Su Fairy and I will take a cat and a dog with us, and we can choose whichever we like! How about it?"
Bai Li was taken aback. "This..."
Black Thorn: "This old man agrees!"
Bai Li's teeth were almost crushed.
That idiot Black Thorn, doesn't he even know how to bargain?
If Black Thorn agreed and then bargained, wouldn't that be slapping Yang Shan in the face? Bai Li could tell what was more important, and she could only accept it. "This old woman agrees too!"
[Ding! Player, please note that your words and actions have affected the remaining bloodlines of the two royal families of Black Moon Ridge, thus triggering a special quest!]
[Special Mission – Black Moon Ridge Royal Clan Restoration: Help the Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat races reclaim their rule over Black Moon Ridge. Mission Reward: Choose one magical beast from each race. (The chosen beast can be used to form a blood pact or become a mount.)]
Tasks are not necessarily generated naturally by the system; they may also be generated due to player actions!
Yang Shan went to great lengths to trigger the quest to obtain the Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat.
After all, subduing monsters is an extremely difficult task.
But acquiring them through missions is a different matter! Yang Shan then coughed twice and slowly asked, "Tell me, how powerful are the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger clans now?"
Black Thorn: "The Ghoul Wolf Clan has Great Commander, all of whom are Seventh Order King of Beasts. In addition, there is the First Leader, Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King, who is a late-stage Seventh Order Thousand Beast King."
Bai Li: "The Ghost Tiger Clan is slightly stronger than the Ghoul Wolf Clan. They have Great Commander, the First Leader the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, who is also the Thousand Beast King, but he should be close to the Seventh Order Peak."
The two senior figures did not mention the situation with sixth-tier magical beasts.
After all, Yang Shan had already killed more than a dozen Dou Zong, so sixth-order magical beasts should be no different from ants to him.
But Yang Shan's heart trembled as he listened!
Seventh-Order Thousand Beast King, he can probably handle it by calling on his friends and allies.
But Seventh Order and late Seventh Order are two different things!
The late -Seventh Order Thousand Beast King's combat power is at least comparable to Seven-Star Dou Zong with Golden Word Seal! The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King's combat power is even higher!
No wonder the notoriously arrogant Demon Flame Valley voluntarily ceded its territory after attacking Black Moon Ridge.
Even if it were the Earth Demon Old Ghost, wouldn't he run as far away as possible if he encountered these two? Yang Shan looked at the expectant eyes of Black Thorn and Bai Li. Did these two really think that he, a One Star Dou Huang, could do anything to the late -Seventh Order -order Thousand Beast King?
Are you kidding me! He's not Xiao Yan!
Upon closer reflection, even Xiao Yan, at the level of One Star Dou Huang, would have to back down in the face of this! What to do? No matter what, Yang Shan needs to raise the price first!
"Those two clans are that powerful? No way! This can't be done unless we offer more money!"
