The black-tailed bat monkeys pretended to be defeated, which was a bad omen for Chen Xiao and his team, but it greatly increased the confidence of the black-tailed bat monkeys. When they tried to find a chance to test it again, they were indeed guarded by the black-tailed bat monkeys, so they had no way to get close to the nest.
The few people were helpless and had to retreat farther away to get out of contact with the black-tailed bat monkeys, so that they could calm down. As for the bat monkey king who was so proud of defeating the enemy, the practitioners were too lazy to bother with it.
Shen Yongqing said: "Do you want to make it real and eliminate these bat monkey kings first?"
Xi Yunting said: "I'm afraid the cat beast will feel that the threat is too great and take Fellow Daoist Tang to move its nest. It will be more difficult to find it then."
Tong Nuonuo said dejectedly: "When we fought against that group of bat monkeys, I didn't expect this situation now."
Chen Xiao pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, we will find another way."
However, under the current circumstances, there is really nothing we can do if there is no turnaround.
Without the protection of true energy and wearing light clothes, Tang Ru stood at the entrance of Chaoxue cave, feeling worried.
The cat beast went out hunting again, and the prey it caught were all small hares, wild foxes, and ferrets. Since it was not full with its small size, the cat beast went out many times. In short, it would not stray far from its nest, which made Tang Ru dare not run out, fearing that the cat beast would take it back halfway and keep a closer watch on it.
Tang Ru sighed to the sky. Did she have to wait until spring came and the cat beast would let her leave its nest before she could have a chance to escape? She was only worried that by then the cat beast would go crazy and look for her everywhere.
At this time, a small stone hit the rock wall next to Tang Ru with a snap. Tang Ru looked up in surprise and saw a man standing under a tree in the distance. That man was Zhao Jiao's subordinate. She had stopped him from calming the poisonous snake in the cave. Tang Ru immediately became alert. She had no ability to fight back now.
"Don't be nervous, fellow Taoist." The man said, "If you want to escape, I can help you."
Tang Ru said in disbelief: "If someone shows his kindness to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. What's more, you are an evil cultivator, so we must be on guard against you."
The other party smiled and said, "You misunderstood, fellow Daoist. My name is Li Muye, I am from Lishu, and my main job is to tame beasts. I have an intersection with Zhao Jiao only because I was hired by him to help him communicate with the poisonous viper."
The other party gave his name as a preliminary gesture of goodwill. Tang Ru still did not let down her guard, but still told the other party her name. Of course, it was just a name on the list. Tang Ru said: "Since you are not an evil cultivator, how can you help the tyrant and watch Zhao Jiao kill innocent children without stopping him?"
Li Muye said indifferently, "The affairs of the people in the Central Territory should naturally be managed by the people in the Central Territory. Those famous and upright sects claim to be impartial, and a barbarian like me who meddles in other people's affairs may not be thanked by them."
Tang Ru raised his eyebrows and said in a serious voice: "Zhao Jiao didn't just kill the people of the Central Territory, he also killed the children of my dwarfs. How do you know that the children of your Lishu tribe won't encounter such a tragic situation in the future? Although you are not an evil cultivator, what you said and did is no different from an evil cultivator?"
Li Muye narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "If that day comes, I will take action. Don't be fooled by the people in the Central Realm. They look down on us foreigners in their hearts, and calling us barbarians is a clear proof. These people in the Central Realm are hypocritical, sweet-mouthed, and have no good intentions. They just want to use us."
Tang Ru shook his head and said, "Not all people in the Middle Realm are bad people. There are some very good friends among them, but you just haven't met them yet."
Li Muye snorted and laughed: "Are you talking about those idiots who wanted to come in and rescue you from the outskirts of the nest, but were entangled by the black-tailed bat monkeys?"
Tang Ru had been able to hear some noise outside these past two days, but she wasn't sure if it was Chen Xiao and the others. When she heard what Li Muye said, her eyes lit up. At the same time, she said unhappily, "They are not idiots!"
Li Muye could treat Tang Ru, who was also a foreigner, in a friendly way, but he could not hide his disgust towards the cultivators in the upper middle realm. He skipped this topic that would cause disputes and asked, "With my method of taming beasts, I can communicate with cat beasts and help you escape. Are you willing to give it a try?" He mentioned again that he wanted to rescue Tang Ru. In fact, Tang Ru did not beg him immediately after hearing that he knew how to tame beasts, which surprised Li Muye.
To Tang Ru, this person did not distinguish between good and evil and was extremely utilitarian. She did not like such people. On ordinary days, she would rather find a way to get out of trouble by herself than ask him for help.
Thinking about her companions who were trying every means to rescue her, she couldn't act on impulse. Tang Ru suppressed her anger and asked, "I have nothing and can't pay you. If you are willing to rescue me, I can serve you for two years." Then she thought about it and added a proviso: "On the premise of not doing anything against your conscience."
Li Muye laughed out loud: "Your little hands and feet are too powerful for me to control. Let's ask your so-called friends to pay for it! You wait here, and the speed of rescuing you depends on whether your friends are willing to agree."
After Li Muye finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly. Tang Ru really wanted to know what conditions he was going to put forward, so he took a risk and chased him for a while but failed to catch up with him. Instead, he was met by the cat beast returning to its nest. Without saying a word, it picked it up and brought it back to its nest.
In order to avoid the black-tailed bat monkeys, Chen Xiao and his team had to retreat several dozen miles from their camp. When Li Muye appeared around the camp, it was getting dark.
The first person to recognize him was Tong Nuonuo. He had rescued the child in the cave and left, and had not seen him appease the viper, so he was surprised and shocked when he suddenly saw him this time.
Tong Nuonuo showed hatred on her face, and her voice was rarely stern: "You evil man, how dare you show up! Sooner or later, the guardians of Zhishitang will take you away to commemorate those innocent practitioners killed by you." It's a pity that he is not strong enough, otherwise he would take revenge personally now.
Tong Nuonuo's excitement puzzled others. When he explained that this person was the Li Xianshi who had escaped before, Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting couldn't help but show solemn expressions.
The tense atmosphere on the field did not make Li Muye nervous. He just said calmly: "For profit, people die. The fittest survive. If money blinds your mind and you lose even the basic judgment ability, it is only a matter of time before you lose your life due to greed. Wine, sex, money and anger are all temptations. The road to cultivation is full of disasters. There are countless people who die from disasters every year in the world of cultivation. Why should you care about them?"
As one of the people who joined the training team because of greed for money, Tong Nuonuo was speechless after being told by Li Muye. Although the other party made sense, he always felt that something was wrong.
Li Muye's words were so straightforward that Tong Nuonuo couldn't think of how to condemn him. Xi Yunting said, "Zhao Jiao and his group were either dead or injured, and those who were alive were all captured. You had already escaped, so why did you deliberately show up?"
Li Muye said: "I came here just to make an exchange with you."
Tong Nuonuo was still very angry and said angrily: "We have nothing to exchange!"
Li Muye ignored the tense-faced boy and said, "I have a way to rescue your companions trapped in the cat beast's lair. In exchange, I will cancel the arrest of me."
Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Tang Ru is a very important companion of ours. We are willing to pay any price to rescue her. But your request is too great and it is difficult for us to do it. Zhishitang's wanted notice is for the entire Gengshengtian Realm, and we don't have that much mercy."
This involves the credibility of Zhishitang. Even if Chen Xiao has done Han Yuanzhi a favor, it is not easy to cancel the wanted warrant for Li Muye.
Asking for a high price, paying it back. Li Muye didn't expect to achieve his goal easily. He put forward the conditions that they couldn't do before just to pave the way for the next one. He said, "Since this one can't be done, then it should be possible to cancel the arrest of me within the jurisdiction of the Shen Dynasty, right?"
Shen Yongqing was Wang's uncle, so he could make the decision. He immediately nodded and agreed: "As long as it's within the borders, we'll just turn a blind eye."
Li Muye achieved his goal and decided to quit. He nodded and said, "I hope you can keep your promise." Then he turned to Chen Xiao who was looking at him anxiously and said, "By this time tomorrow, I will definitely reunite you and your companions."
He said it with such confidence that Chen Xiao was very curious about how he could be so boastful.
As a beast tamer, Li Muye naturally had a way to communicate with the beasts. His method was simple to say. Since Tang Ru pretended to be a lost child, it was only natural for an adult to take her away. However, no one else could do this except him. He angered the cat beast before he could reason with the beast.
Whenever a child is picked up and adopted, the foster parent will have a grudge against the biological parent and will be very afraid that the biological parent will come and take the child away. It is normal for them to be angry and depressed, and when they are angry, they will quarrel and fight, and even go to court. Not to mention the extremely protective beast like the cat beast, even the biological parents cannot get their children back from its arms.
Li Muye used his skills as a beast tamer to convey to the cat beast that he was Tang Ru's father. Of course, the cat beast was irritated at first, and it pounced on him to kill him. Li Muye did not fight the cat beast head-on, but circled around and used special methods to appease it. Even a violent creature like Dubi was fooled by his tricks, so it was no problem for the cat beast, which had a much better temper than Dubi, to handle it.
Finally, the cat beast realized that it could no longer support Tang Ru, and it was very sad. Its big eyes were wet, and it looked at Tang Ru with sadness and reluctance. Tang Ru had only been with it for two or three days, and although it was a helpless measure, it was also moved by the cat beast's love.
Tang Ru stood on tiptoe, stretched out her arms and hugged the cat's head. She rubbed the cat's fur and said, "Wait until spring and find a female and give birth to your own cubs. Then no one can separate you two."
After watching Tang Ru reluctantly put his hand into Li Muye's hand, the two held hands and slowly walked away from the cat beast's nest. The cat beast watching them snorted and lowered its big head in frustration. How could a male beast like them snatch the cub from the claws of a female beast?
The cat beast turned his eyes and set his sights on the group of black-tailed bat monkeys at the door. After that, the bat monkeys never lived in peace again. They all suffered from neurasthenia and were always worried that their cubs would be taken away by the cat beasts and fed with raw meat. God knows that the cubs drink breast milk!
