C9 Magical Little Beast

Zuo Feng stared unblinkingly at the small beast in front of him. He was sure that this was a type of beast that he had never seen before. However, the Ye Lin Empire was mainly made up of mountain forests, and there were many types of small beasts that he had never seen before.

His heart skipped a beat as he remembered what his younger sister, Zuo Tianlang, had said before he left. He shook his head with a bitter smile and muttered to himself.

"Since you've promised my sister, I'll capture you and bring you back. "Don't worry, little sister will definitely treat you well."

The rest of the words were naturally for the little beast in front of him. The little beast only tilted its head as it heard Zuo Feng's words, as if it didn't understand what he meant.

Zuo Feng secretly circulated his spiritual energy, and with a heavy stomp on the ground, his body shot forward like an arrow that had left the bow. The little beast's pupils contracted, and its gray fur stood up.

Zuo Feng was less than two zhang away, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached there. He quickly reached out his hand to grab it. The smile was still on his face, but the next moment, he realized with shock that his palm had actually passed through the little beast's body just like that, leaving only an afterimage.

Zuo Feng, who could not control his momentum, dashed forward and almost fell to the ground due to using the wrong force. After standing still, Zuo Feng looked around and realized that the little beast had appeared beside him again. This time, it was only 10 feet away from him.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The small beast cawed as if mocking Zuo Feng. At the same time, it raised its two front paws and used its two hind paws to lift itself up. Zuo Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the small beast in front of him. Through his probing just now, he already knew that catching the small beast with his current speed was no different from a dream.

Since he couldn't grab it, Zuo Feng didn't waste any more energy. He picked up his dagger and walked towards a tree at the side.

As he continued to scratch the bark, he thought back to the little beast's movements just now. With the little beast's short, finger-like legs, how could it have such a fast and nimble speed? Faintly, Zuo Feng's interest in this little beast grew even greater, but he was still unable to catch it. Everything was in vain.

Zuo Feng inadvertently looked to the side. That little beast had actually followed him. It was curiously sizing him up when it was less than two zhang away.

He realized that this little beast seemed to be very willing to follow him. This was almost impossible. He had seen small beasts that would normally run far away when they saw humans, but the small beast in front of him was unexpectedly not afraid of him at all.

With a jolt in his mind, he took out the dry rations he had brought with him when he left that morning, broke off a piece from it, and threw it to the small animal. The small beast dodged quickly, then came back out of curiosity and sniffed the dry rations on the ground. Then, it raised its head and looked at Zuo Feng with no interest.

'What exactly is this place at the top of the mountain? How can there be so many strange occurrences? First, it was that ridiculously strong woman who was born, and now, it's a beast with abnormally high speed that doesn't eat dry food.

Zuo Feng mumbled to himself. It was only now that he started to feel that this mountain, or more accurately, this mountain was too special. However, he was still trapped in a dangerous place and didn't have the energy or time to investigate in detail.

'Looks like I'll have to wait until I have some free time in the future and come back here to search carefully … '

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng increased the speed of his hands. He and Zuo Hou had to leave the Eastern Mountain area before dawn, and that was the most urgent matter.

After an hour, Zuo Feng felt that he had shaved enough bark for him to sit down on the ground in exhaustion.

Feeling that there was something by his side, he tilted his head to look. The little beast was actually not far away from him.

Zuo Feng almost forgot all about this little beast, but he didn't expect it to still be here. Zuo Feng suddenly thought of something and reached into his bag to take out a dozen or so medicinal packs. These were the few medicines he had brewed while learning from his wife, Zhuang Yu.

Some healed external injuries, some healed internal injuries, some healed bones, and there was even a small amount of spirit energy recovering. He took out all the medicinal packs in one go and placed them in front of the small beast.

He was very close to the animal now, but he knew it was impossible to grab it by surprise, so he thought about how he could lure the animal to follow him voluntarily.

This little beast did not buy Zuo Feng's medicine, it only sniffed the medicine packs, then it ignored them and continued to look at Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng was almost certain that there was something on his body that attracted it. Moreover, he felt that this little beast was different from the others. It should have some intelligence. This was purely an intuition, without any basis.

He took out everything he had on him, including the leftover rations, as well as his money and dagger, and placed them in front of the little beast.

The little beast didn't even look away this time, it was still staring at him. Zuo Feng was a bit speechless, but the chill in his chest reminded him of the two jade bottles. He quickly took one out of his pocket.

The small jade bottle had just appeared when the small beast's silver gray eyes lit up. Zuo Feng saw its reaction and secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Looks like this little beast is actually interested in this thing."

Holding the jade bottle in his hand, he slowly brought it to the little beast. The little beast happily looked at the jade bottle in Zuo Feng's hand, but it seemed to be hesitating. It seemed that after struggling for a while, the little beast finally approached carefully.

Its furry little body finally approached the left wind's edge, the jade bottle was almost as big as its body. The little beast raised its head again and looked at Zuo Feng, as if it had made up its mind. Then, it gently climbed onto Zuo Feng's palm and grabbed the jade bottle.

Zuo Feng wasn't worried at all about the small beast taking the jade bottle away, because although the small beast's speed was astonishing, it was almost impossible to take away the jade bottle that was larger than it.

In Zuo Feng's hands, the little beast excitedly hugged the jade bottle and let out a "zhi zhi" sound. Suddenly, it stretched out its soft pink tongue and licked the bottle stopper.

Zuo Feng had been paying attention to the little beast's movements the whole time, so he obviously wouldn't miss this tiny movement.

'So it turns out that this little fellow actually likes this bottle stop.'

Recalling the words from before he left, if the cold energy within the jade bottle was able to cover a radius of five kilometers, then the stopper must not be an ordinary item.

Zuo Feng thought about it for a moment and then slightly tilted his hand, placing both the bottle and the small beast on the ground. The small beast first looked around vigilantly and found nothing abnormal. Then, it happily picked up the jade bottle and started rolling on the ground.

Ignoring this strange little guy, Zuo Feng picked up two pieces of bark and tied them together. He knew that if he wanted to subdue the small beast before him, brute force would not do. Patience and wisdom were the key.

'Let's let it get close to the bottle first, 'thought Zuo Feng as he revealed a sinister smile.

It was much easier to make the rope than to shave the tree bark. The left wind only needed fifteen minutes to make a long rope. Because the rope was made of tree bark, it was not easy to find even in broad daylight.

He turned back to look at the little beast who was still hugging the bottle and unable to let go. Zuo Feng revealed a smile and reached out to grab it. The small beast looked at the jade bottle in its hand with reluctance, but it still quickly dodged away. Zuo Feng didn't care and slowly grabbed the jade bottle, placing it in his pocket.

The little beast was on the ground, squeaking anxiously. Zuo Feng looked at the little beast amiably and said.

"If you like this stopper, then follow me."

Saying so, he took out the jade bottle and waved it before the small beast. Seeing the pleading and unwilling look in the small beast's eyes, he slowly put the bottle away.

The little beast looked at Zuo Feng who was walking slowly towards the mountain. Instinctively, it followed behind him, unwilling to let Jade Bottle leave.

Zuo Feng looked behind him out of the corner of his eyes and thought to himself, 'Come with me. Come with me.'

When Zuo Feng reached the side of the mountain, the little beast's eyes were filled with reluctance, but it still kept its distance and followed him.

After Zuo Feng arrived at the side of the mountain, he found a large rock and tightened the "Bark Rope" in his hand a few times. All of this was done very slowly in order to give the small animals behind him more time to decide.

Right now, his heart was not any better than that little beast's. That little beast couldn't bear to part with his bottle stopper, so wasn't he also extremely fond of that cute little guy with his astonishing speed?

Even though Zuo Feng was trying to stall for time, he still prepared the rope. He turned around and looked at the small beast not far away. Zuo Feng clenched his teeth and climbed down the rope. Although he couldn't bear to part with the small beast, he was not a mule.

Zuo Feng slid down the rope several times more easily than when he was climbing up. As he looked down, he heard the sound of wind breaking.

Soon after, a black shadow the size of a palm grew larger in his line of sight. He was pleasantly surprised to see that this black shadow had already landed on his shoulder. If he hadn't heard the sound and been prepared, he would have been smashed to the ground.

"Kid, in the end, you still chose to follow me."

The beast that fell down was naturally the little beast from before. At this moment, the little beast had a pair of large, silver-gray eyes. It tilted its head and looked at Zuo Feng. Suddenly, he let out two loud squeaks, as if he was protesting against something.

After a few barks, the little beast ignored Zuo Feng and went into Zuo Feng's pocket with a "sou" sound. Seeing its flustered look, Zuo Feng couldn't help but laugh. 'Looks like this little guy has been eyeing the bottle the entire time. He even remembers where I put it in his bosom.

Feeling the small beast in her bosom, she hugged the jade bottle as she jumped up and down. She stretched out her hand to pat it a few times and said.

"If you want to follow me obediently, then you better behave yourself. Otherwise, I'll throw you away right now."

Zuo Feng didn't want to be discovered by the enemy when they were running away from this place. Although he wasn't sure if the little beast could understand what he had just said, he had a feeling that the little beast would understand what he was saying.

The little beast also did not let Zuo Feng down. As expected, its small body was no longer noisy.

Zuo Feng was about to continue climbing down when his hands froze on the spot and he looked at his bosom with an incredulous expression.
