Chapter 87: Well Done
"Is there anyone nearby?"
Xu Yujun was stunned for a moment, then surprised, "Could it be a fellow Taoist from the Myriad Beast Sect?!"
If that's the case, then they can go back and look for their storage bag!
After all, there are two different situations when a spirit beast has an owner or not.
Although spirit beasts with owners may have bad tempers, they generally will not initiate attacks.
After all, it represents the owner.
We are all fellow Taoists. If there is no deep hatred, who would attack right away?
"Impossible!" Xu Chuansen immediately shook his head and rejected this possibility. "I've never heard of any fellow from the Myriad Beast Sect contracting an Iron-Eating Beast!"
"Maybe they were tamed later?" Zhao Hanxue asked persistently.
If the iron-eating beast has an owner, then she can go back home!
Her storage bag!
"Impossible!" Xu Chuansen said firmly, "Do you know what level of iron-eating beast that is?"
"Fourth, fourth rank." Zhao Hanxue felt a little uneasy. "Didn't you just say that?"
"Yes, that's a fourth-grade iron-eating beast!" Xu Chuansen said with a serious expression, "Do you know what kind of spirit beast is suitable for a contract?"
Zhao Hanxue couldn't help but move closer to Xu Yujun, and said in a low voice, "It would be best...it would be a spirit beast cub."
"Yes!" Xu Chuansen frowned. "Spirit beast cubs are the easiest to contract. The stronger the spirit beast, the more difficult it is to contract. Do you know what level of cultivation is required to contract a fourth-grade spirit beast?"
Meeting everyone's gaze, Zhao Hanxue blushed and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "E, E, Ying..."
"Wrong!" Xu Chuansen said in a low and firm voice, "To contract a fourth-grade spirit beast, one must be at least a master in the Out-of-Body Stage!"
The others nodded.
These are basically common sense, which casual cultivators may not understand, but those of them who have family inheritance have started learning these things at a very young age.
So they knew very well how difficult it was to contract a spirit beast!
Of course, with so many people in the world, there will always be a few people with outstanding talents, but such special examples are extremely rare and can be ignored.
"To contract this fourth-grade iron-eating beast, one must be at least a master in the Out-of-Body Stage. If a master in the Out-of-Body Stage had contracted a fourth-grade iron-eating beast, the news would have spread long ago!"
Xu Chuansen explained seriously, "Besides, if it really was contracted, its owner should have been there. When we were escaping just now, the other party would definitely come out and talk."
But, there was nothing just now.
After hearing what Xu Chuansen said, Zhao Hanxue blushed with embarrassment.
The way she said this made it sound like she was a casual cultivator who knew nothing.
"But I did see a few people nearby just now, and they didn't run away or resist..." She defended herself in a low voice.
"Maybe." Xu Chuansen did not deny it, "But they must have been frightened, so they didn't dare to move. After all, it was a fourth-grade iron-eating beast."
There were many trees, weeds and vines in the forest, and because of the distance and angle, they didn't notice Xin Jinrui and others standing together.
Moreover, the situation was critical at that time, so even if they just took a quick glance, they wouldn't think too much about it.
After hearing what Xu Chuansen said, Zhao Hanxue couldn't help but bite her lip and remained silent.
Xu Yujun took her hand and patted it soothingly. "Uncle Sen is right. It's impossible to contract a fourth-grade iron-eating beast. Those people you saw must have just happened to encounter the iron-eating beast and were frightened to the point of being unable to move."
He didn't say that Zhao Hanxue was mistaken.
However, he thought the same as Xu Chuansen.
That’s a fourth-grade iron-eating beast!
Faced with such a terrifying spirit beast, if Xu Chuansen and the others had not reacted quickly and immediately pulled him and Zhao Hanxue away, they might have been frightened to the point of freezing on the ground.
Their strength is still too low and they have little experience. When they encounter danger, their first reaction is not to run away, but to stay still.
Xu Yujun thought that those people should be the same.
"Maybe they just happened to pass by there, and then the iron-eating beast appeared, and they didn't dare to move." Xu Yujun further improved his guess, "Maybe they have already been killed by the iron-eating beast."
When he said this, his expression became compassionate.
