Chapter 30
"That kid, of course, won't agree so easily, but I promise to give him a Shennong grass after winning the league." Seeing Zhang Lixian calm down, Tong Yueling's tone also eased a lot, and she said softly.
Dean Zhang was stunned again when he heard the three words "Shennong grass", and it took him a while to react.
It seems that the Tong family's foundation has exceeded his imagination, and there are treasures like Shennong grass that have been extinct for thousands of years.
"Shennong grass... is of great help to the void unicorn, but... just participate, but keep a close eye on the border of the fifth district, and don't let anything happen."
"Neither me, nor you, nor the fifth district can afford such a loss." Dean Zhang nodded gently and replied.
The value of Shennong grass cannot be measured by spirit stones. Zhou Cang's participation in the teacher-level league this time has a lot of benefits, not just Shennong grass.
"It's good that you agree. Now let's start the next topic. Who will participate in the Venerable League? Although I have a suitable candidate, the chances of winning are not great. I think Luo Li is good..."
...
Zhou Cang had just walked out of the Tianyu Branch College when Zheng Xiaoyu and Du Yuming came over together.
"Senior Brother and Sister! What a coincidence, why are you here?" Zhou Cang greeted them with a smile.
Although he didn't know what the two wanted to do, Zhou Cang could clearly feel that the two must have been waiting here for a long time.
"Junior brother, I finally waited for you. You don't know that Xiaoyu kept repeating your name in my ear every day. I'm tired of listening to it. Hey! Xiaoyu, why don't you speak?" Du Yuming asked with a smile.
Zheng Xiaoyu's face flushed and he lightly hit Du Yuming's back.
"Don't talk nonsense, junior brother, I want to go to the wild area to subdue my second spirit pet. Can you... accompany me? There is strength in numbers." Zheng Xiaoyu asked softly.
Zhou Cang frowned slightly and looked at Zheng Xiaoyu with a puzzled look.
Zheng Xiaoyu was one level older than him. Logically, he should have found the second spirit beast a long time ago. Why did he think of looking for it now?
For a beastmaster, every time he subdues a spirit pet, his strength will be greatly improved. Therefore, every time he upgrades a level, he will sign a contract with another spirit beast as soon as possible.
Seeing Zhou Cang's reaction, Zheng Xiaoyu naturally saw his doubts at a glance.
"Uh... I had a hard time raising a spirit beast before. If I subdue another one, I can't afford it. So I'm going to subdue it now." Zheng Xiaoyu said softly.
Zhou Cang suddenly realized that the Hundred Beasts Garden is only free for students who have just awakened. Every subsequent one needs to be paid, and the higher the grade of the spirit beast signed, the more spirit stones will be spent.
Not every family can afford such a high cost, so going to the wild area to subdue a spirit beast has become an excellent choice.
"Xiaoyu sold all the rewards from the ruins to the academy last time, so she has the resources to train a second spirit beast." Du Yuming said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhou Cang felt a sense of emotion. If he bought his Void Unicorn with spirit stones, it would cost at least hundreds of millions of spirit stones, right? No... that thing can't be bought at all.
"Chirp chirp!" In the beast control space, the little unicorn seemed to sense Zhou Cang's inner thoughts, raised its little head and protested loudly.
"Ahem... It's okay, but the wild area is so big, it's hard to get anything if you search rashly. Even if you encounter it by chance, it may not be suitable for you." Zhou Cang asked softly.
"Dean Zhang said that there is a [Golden Phoenix Bird] population in Xiaomu Bay. The leader of this population gave birth to a spirit pet egg some time ago. Calculating the time, it should be incubating in the next few days." Zheng Xiaoyu replied softly.
Zhou Cang's eyes widened when he heard this. [Golden Phoenix Bird]? Dean Zhang actually asked Zheng Xiaoyu to snatch the child of the Golden Phoenix Bird?
Isn't this courting death?
"Dean Zhang said that? Do you believe what he said? You don't really want to go find the Golden Phoenix Bird and snatch its child in person, do you?" Zhou Cang asked speechlessly.
"It's not snatching. The Golden Phoenix Bird was Teacher Luo Li's pet before, but later it was released by Teacher Luo Li for some reasons." Seeing this, Du Yuming hurriedly explained.
After hearing this, Zhou Cang nodded gently. Since he was related to Luo Li, according to Luo Li's character, he should observe secretly to ensure the safety of the two.
So, the idea of the two people coming to him for help should also be proposed by Luo Li first.
The three then agreed to meet at the gate of the academy early tomorrow morning.
After returning home, Zhou Cang took a hot bath first, then sat cross-legged and summoned the Black Dragon Turtle.
After the baptism of the holy light in the ancient ruins, the Black Dragon Turtle undoubtedly benefited the most. Its body became bigger, and its body faintly exudedIt exudes the powerful aura of an ancient mythical beast.
"Are you ready? I need to break through to the master level in five days. I have to practice until the early morning today." Zhou Cang stroked the head of the black dragon turtle and asked softly.
"Awoo!" The black dragon turtle shouted softly, changed to a more comfortable posture, and looked at Zhou Cang expectantly.
...
In the early morning, just after dawn, Zhou Cang stood up from the sofa, washed up simply, and rushed to the entrance of the branch college.
When Zhou Cang arrived, there was still nearly half an hour before the time agreed by the three people. Zheng Xiaoyu and Du Yuming had already been waiting at the door, eating and chatting with pancakes in their hands.
"Is there a portion for me?" Zhou Cang deliberately slowed down his pace, walked behind the two people and suddenly jumped out and asked.
"Oh my..." Du Yuming was shocked and shouted inarticulately.
Zheng Xiaoyu quickly reacted, took out a tightly packed bag from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Cang.
"Hey! I bought one for you too." Zheng Xiaoyu replied with a smile.
Zhou Cang took the bag, and the three of them got on the bus and headed for the wild area.
In order to resist the invasion of ferocious beasts, the Fifth Division built a 30-meter-high protective wall between the residential area and the wild area, and a small group of guards were stationed every few hundred meters.
The border guards' barracks were located about three kilometers behind the city wall so that they could provide support at any time in case of emergencies.
After arriving at the border station, Zheng Xiaoyu showed the guards the permission to leave the city.
"Just the three of you? Are the teachers in the academy confident that you can go out? The ferocious beasts outside are not a joke." A man in his thirties, wearing a guard uniform, checked the permit to leave the city and asked with some concern.
"It's okay, we won't go deep, we will come back after the mission is completed." Zheng Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Let them go, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, only after experiencing life and death can they become a more qualified beastmaster." The voice of a middle-aged man in the border station came out.
