Chen Xiao frowned immediately.
Liu Lang arrived at the Shenzhou Atlas earlier than him, so Chen Xiao naturally believed what he said.
He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Lang, "So, does Brother Liu have any good suggestions?"
Liu Lang showed a bright smile without any gloom, and said: "Daoyou, I am no longer a cultivator now, you can just call me by my name."
Chen Xiao nodded: "Okay, from now on when we are friends, you can just call me Chen Xiao, don't be polite."
Liu Lang was originally a person who liked to make friends. He smiled frankly and said, "I didn't expect to meet someone I know here. It's a rare fate. What's more, I owe you a favor before. Now I can be friends with you. It really makes me happy."
Chen Xiao smiled and was about to say something when he saw Liu Lang patting his thighs with both hands, then he stood up and walked towards the inner room: "As a friend, your business is my business. I will take care of the search for the birds!"
A moment later, Liu Lang came out, carrying a large bow and a quiver on his back. He waved his empty hand at him, "Come on, I'll take you to catch the golden jade carving."
Having someone familiar with the local area to help is naturally much better than going out on your own. Chen Xiao thanked him in surprise and joy, and followed Liu Lang out the door.
Liu Lang went directly to the east of the gathering point, which was the residential area of the indigenous people, and borrowed two strong horses from an acquaintance.
Chen Xiao took a closer look and found that it was indeed a horse. It was not like the scale horse before, which looked like a horse but had scales and no hair.
The two men mounted their horses, and Liu Lang took him and ran along the road towards the north.
While galloping on his horse, Liu Lang said to Chen Xiao, "There are plains and hills in the north, with various small herbivorous animals. Golden jade eagles often swoop down from the sky to prey. Golden jade eagles are large in size, fast in speed, have strong endurance, and are resolute in character. They are one of the best vehicles."
Chen Xiao kept a certain distance from him and controlled the horse to move forward at the same speed. He asked, "Since this golden jade sculpture is one of the best mounts, why didn't I hear the person who gave me the news mention it before?"
Liu Lang laughed, "This golden jade sculpture is very spiritual. It is smarter and more unruly than the black crane and the white phoenix. Usually, when a cultivator first arrives here, the natives here will not recommend catching this kind of bird of prey."
The horse under his crotch was extremely fast, much faster than the one Chen Xiao had ridden in his previous life or the scale horse he had ridden in the Heavenly Realm World.
If the scale horse I rode before was as fast as a sluggish family car, this horse was like a super sports car, truly as fast as lightning.
The wind was whistling in his ears. Fortunately, Chen Xiao's body was not much different from the real foundation-building stage due to the strengthening of his vitality, so he could sit steadily on the horse's back instead of being thrown off.
After all, Liu Lang had lost his cultivation, and his voice seemed a little fragmented in the sound of the wind in his ears, but fortunately Chen Xiao could hear it clearly.
He said: "Compared to the black cranes and white phoenixes that travel in groups, golden jade eagles are more accustomed to being alone. As birds of prey, their numbers are not that large. If there are too few of them, the herbivores on the grassland will overflow to the edge of the gathering point. In addition, immortal cultivators often do not know how to train eagles, and golden jade eagles are too proud and unruly. Usually, immortal cultivators kill them before they can surrender."
"So, for a while, the aborigines even prohibited cultivators from catching golden and jade eagles." Liu Lang turned to Chen Xiao and said with a smile, "However, if the aborigines help, it will be a different matter. There happens to be someone I know who can train eagles. After we catch one, we will send it to him for training, and then you can sign the contract."
Chen Xiao said to Liu Lang sincerely: "This is really a great help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know this."
"Hahaha, you're welcome. Compared to what you did for me, this is nothing. Let's not thank each other like this, or it will go on and on."
As the sound fell, the two people ran away quickly.
Two days later, they arrived at the plain that Liu Lang mentioned. In order to facilitate movement, they did not bring the horses, but tied them under a tree covered with lush green grass.
Then, Liu Lang, carrying his large bow, walked in front and took Chen Xiao deep into the grassland.
Liu Lang observed the sky and looked into the distance, his movements showing caution and carefulness.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but become nervous because of him. He lowered his voice and asked quietly behind him: "Liu Lang, what are you looking for?"
Liu Lang didn't look back. He chuckled and said, "You don't have to be so quiet. Of course, this doesn't mean there are no predators on this grassland, but the surrounding area is still safe at the moment."
Chen Xiao said "Oh" embarrassedly, and Liu Lang said to him: "I am observing whether there are any sheep. This is the favorite food of the Golden Jade Eagle. As long as we can find the sheep and follow them for a while, we can wait for the Golden Jade Eagle."
It turned out that they were just waiting for something to happen. Chen Xiao immediately understood.
Liu Lang told Chen Xiao that after he came to Shenzhou Atlas, he practiced for a year, but found nothing useful, so he returned to the gathering point and opened that small shop.
At the beginning, Mu Jinrong compensated him with a lot of spirit stones, which gave him the capital to do business. He soon ran a prosperous small business at the gathering point. And because of his special situation, he also became an intermediary between the cultivators and the indigenous people, and helped solve several problems.
Liu Lang spoke of these things in a very light manner, and he only mentioned the good things, ignoring all the hardships he had encountered.
Although he didn't say it, Chen Xiao could guess that as a former immortal cultivator who had lost his spiritual roots and cultivation, Liu Lang must have suffered discrimination from fellow cultivators and rejection from indigenous peoples.
Chen Xiao found it hard to imagine that he could overcome all these in such a short time and gain the trust of two groups of people with completely different positions.
Chen Xiao looked at Liu Lang's back, thinking. Liu Lang knew how to run a business, whether it was the Purple Gardenia Forest, which was second to none in Yingxian Island, or the only fixed shop opened by an outsider in the gathering point. He was also very good at dealing with others, so he should be able to handle the job of external public relations.
Chen Xiao thought of his experience at the Lunyin Dharma Assembly. If Liu Lang could also join the Dongyu Sect that was about to be established, it would definitely be a great help.
However, now is not the time to talk about this, after all, the Dongyu School has not yet been officially established.
While he was thinking, Liu Lang in front of him suddenly stopped and lowered his body. The half-man-high grass blocked his figure.
Chen Xiao reacted quickly. Almost as soon as Liu Lang was blocked by the grass, Chen Xiao crouched down. He walked gently to Liu Lang's side, first raised his eyes to the sky, and when he didn't see any large birds flying in the sky, he looked into the distance.
In the distance, far away from them, small white dots dotted the grass-green blanket.
"Are those wild sheep?" Chen Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Liu Lang looked up at the sky, and after a moment he shook his head, "It's already this time, it seems that the Golden Jade Sculptor will not come today."
Chen Xiao turned his head to look at him in confusion, and Liu Lang explained to him: "Usually the golden jade eagle comes out to hunt in the morning when the weather is cool, and it moves very quickly. If it is not circling in the sky now, it is either not hungry yet, or it has already gone back."
Chen Xiao nodded, and Liu Lang added: "Usually, a golden jade eagle will come out to hunt again after three to five days after eating."
Chen Xiao asked: "What should we do now?"
Liu Lang smiled and said, "Do you want to eat roast lamb?"
Chen Xiao is a master of barbecue skills, so he agreed as soon as Liu Lang said it.
The two men returned to where the horses were tied and rode closer to the flock.
The sentinels among the wild sheep looked at them vigilantly, seemingly thinking that they were not common natural enemies, and did not make any warning calls.
Liu Lang asked Chen Xiao to stay here, while he took off his bow, pulled out a white feather arrow, and slowly walked forward.
They were quite close to the herd of wild sheep, and a few of them were even just one or two hundred meters away from Chen Xiao.
With Chen Xiao's current eyes, he can naturally see the so-called wild sheep clearly.
The sheep looked like a white mass from a distance. Chen Xiao thought they were sheep, but he didn't expect that the necks of these sheep were longer than those of regular sheep. Their hair was curly and wrapped around their bodies, as if they had been carefully trimmed by a pet beautician, making them look a little slim.
Of course Chen Xiao knew that the reason for this was that it was summer and the sheep naturally had short hair.
But no matter how he looked at the long neck, the round body, the outward-facing eyes, and the W-shaped mouth that seemed to be smiling, he felt that it looked more like an alpaca!
If it weren't for the pair of curved horns on top of their heads, Chen Xiao really thought they were alpacas instead of sheep.
Just as Chen Xiao was staring at the wild sheep, Liu Lang had already chosen his target. With a "bang", the bowstring vibrated and a sheep fell down not far away.
The companion was suddenly attacked, and the wild sheep nearby were frightened and ran away in panic. As a result, the whole flock of sheep ran away.
Liu Lang didn't care about the mess he created and went over to drag the prey back.
The wild sheep's personalities were somewhat similar to the herbivores Chen Xiao had seen on the African savannah. After a while, they noticed that the predators here had begun to enjoy their food and the threat had greatly decreased, so they were no longer vigilant. Gradually, many wild sheep returned to the grassland and continued to graze with their heads down.
Chen Xiao's barbecue is well-known among his friends, and Liu Lang, who tasted it for the first time, praised it unsurprisingly.
As the head chef, Chen Xiao hadn't shown off his skills for a long time, so he worked even harder to prepare the uneaten meat, intending to roast them all and put them in a storage box for later use.
While turning over the meat, Chen Xiao suddenly heard a delicate "bleating" sound. He looked up and saw a very small lamb, which was obviously only two days old, crying miserably.
Chen Xiao paused, then looked back at the meat in his hand, "Could it be that we are eating the mother of the plant?"
Liu Lang also saw the lamb and laughed, "How could that be? This sheep doesn't have breast milk, so it's obviously not the lamb's mother."
After hearing this, Chen Xiao felt inexplicably relieved.
As if to prove that what Liu Lang said was true, the little lamb walked with its thin legs towards a big sheep that was eating grass with its head down.
It kept calling as it moved closer to the sheep's belly.
Chen Xiao noticed the big sheep's full breasts, which were obviously full of milk. This big sheep should be the mother of the lamb.
The lamb moved closer to its mother's belly, bent its thin legs, and knelt under the belly of the big lamb. The lamb raised its head, stretched its thin neck, and opened its mouth, ready to have a good meal.
Unexpectedly, a scene that surprised Chen Xiao and Liu Lang suddenly appeared. The big sheep dodged quickly, turned around and lowered its head, and used the horns on its head to push the lamb away!
The little lamb rolled over twice on the grass, then cried pitifully twice while lying on the ground. The big sheep was unmoved, and did not even look at it, and lowered its head to eat grass again.
The little lamb seemed a little hurt, but hunger was burning its stomach, so it crawled up and crawled under the big sheep's belly again.
This time, the big lamb seemed angry. Without waiting for the little lamb to kneel down, it turned around and pointed its head at the little lamb again.
The lamb was stunned and just stood there stupidly. This time, the big sheep was very strong. If it hit the lamb head-on, the lamb would be seriously injured if not killed.
Chen Xiao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he jumped up and landed in front of the big sheep. He stretched out his hand and pressed the big sheep's horns hard, causing the big sheep's head to fall down suddenly.
