Lin Shuangmu nodded and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
But it was too quiet along the way.
Moreover, a group of people walked forward, and no one spoke.
All that was left around was the wind and sand, the occasional chirping of crickets in the grass, and the soft sound of people's footsteps mixing with the soil on the ground.
Jiang Zhi still walked beside Xiao Baiyu. In fact, Lin Shuangmu felt that it was a little quiet, but others did not think so.
Xiao Baiyu listened to Jiang Zhi muttering in his heart what the next experience would be.
"Well, the next one is the pet competition in Yueyuan City."
"You can see all kinds of animals."
"Yes, and there are those guys from the Beast Slave Sect."
The group walked through a lush grassland.
A prosperous town appeared before our eyes.
The white bricks are stacked layer by layer, tall and majestic.
Some of the grayish-white wall plaster has fallen off, while some has not, and mottled traces can be seen. It is obvious that this city has a long history.
On the tall door was a piece of bright silver writing: Yueyuan City.
Many people from all around were entering the city, and people and animals were gathering outside.
"You must collect your beast essence before you can bring your pet in!" A guard in silver armor from Moon City stood outside the city, using his spiritual power to spread his voice. "Whether you are a cultivator participating in the beast pet competition or not, you can only release your beast pet when you get to the competition venue. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the city gate."
"If you don't bring your pet to the pet competition, what else can you bring?" someone whispered.
"Because some people's pet beasts are too big and easily come into conflict with other cultivators' pet beasts, this rule has been added since the last pet beast competition," others explained.
The ground suddenly shook slightly.
Jiang Zhi noticed the movement and turned around to look.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
All I saw was a giant, four-legged, earth-yellow lion that was almost as tall as the trees running towards me.
It is not actually accurate to call it a lion. It is an earth beast with an ordinary lion's face, a lot of khaki hair covering its entire face, two long hooks on its head, dark earth-colored limbs and feet, and a long khaki-colored tail that looks like a horse's tail.
This strange beast was extremely huge, and it felt like the middle part of its body took up a large area. Its skin looked like hard cowhide.
Soon the giant beast ran past them.
Jiang Zhi felt the hair in front of her eyes being blown up by the wind created by the giant beast's running, and there was also a faint vibration coming from the ground.
"The Earth Mystical Beast, it's actually the Earth Mystical Beast."
"Legend has it that the defense of the Earth Mystic Beast is the strongest. No one can break through the earth wall built by the Earth Mystic Beast."
"Oh my god, this person must be very powerful, to be able to subdue such a defensive beast pet."
"It seems that this year's competition will be interesting again. I heard that someone from the Beast Origin Sect has tamed a very aggressive thunder spirit beast."
"This year's competition rewards seem to be good things to increase your beast essence."
"How can Beast Essence be improved if it is a talent?"
"That's why this thing is so valuable. Now everyone is attracted by this prize."
"Come on, let's go into the city. I heard that the inn was fully booked a few months ago. I wonder if there are any seats left?"
Two or three monks hurried away from them.
"Big Brother, I want to go." Bai Ruanruan said silently.
Xiao Baiyu paused and nodded: "Okay."
"Will other people have any objections?" Bai Ruanruan raised her eyes and looked at the others.
"You're saying it as if we have something against it if we don't stay." Xiao Yan curled her lips, "Besides, it's such a grand beast pet competition, why don't we stay and watch it? I want to stay and watch this beast pet competition."
"I want to watch the game too!" Lin Shuangmu also spoke up.
"Well, if anyone else has no objection, then let's all stay and watch the pet competition." Xiao Baiyu nodded.
"Yeah!" Lin Shuangmu responded actively.
"I wonder if there is any inn in the city where we can stay?" Jiang Zhi asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry, sister. I know the city lord." Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"No more." Xie Yu replied indifferently.
"Don't forget the good wine I gave you, benefactor." Jiming reminded.
"Then let's go in and take a look." Lin Shuangmu responded.
Four voices rang out at the same time.
Then the air was strangely quiet for a moment.
Jiang Zhi just mentioned it casually, didn't she expect everyone to pay so much attention to her? "Ha, then we should live with the city lord?" Jiang Zhi laughed out loud.
After all, the rooms in the inn must have been sold at sky-high prices.
"Well, let's go." Xiao Baiyu said slowly.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
So the group walked into the city.
"Sister, I saw you in the illusion." Xiao Qi walked to Jiang Zhi's side at some point and spoke softly.
Jiang Zhi looked calm: "Oh? Really? How come I didn't know?"
"I certainly can't take the blame for the heroine's crime on me."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Qi just laughed in a low voice beside Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment, feeling that he was a little sick.
Just as she was about to leave, her wrist was grabbed. Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Sister, why did you pretend not to know me all this time?"
Jiang Zhi: ...
"Do I have it?" Jiang Zhi's thoughts were running wildly.
'Is this guy going to attack me now?'
'Hey? By the way, why did he and Bai Ruanruan fight last time?'
'Did he know?'
Jiang Zhi raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Qi, who also lowered his eyes to look at her, his pair of strange eyes flashing with beautiful and strange light, and his pink eyes seemed to be sparkling with beautiful small flowers.
'He seems kind of pretty...'
Just as Jiang Zhi was thinking this, a pair of slender, cold hands gently covered her eyes.
"Don't look into his eyes." Xie Yu's cold voice sounded behind her.
Jiang Zhi's thoughts were interrupted, and then he realized something.
She pulled Xie Yu's hand away and looked at Xiao Qi with a sneer: "What did you just do to me?"
"I'm trying to seduce you." Xiao Qi's lips curled up into a faint smile, and his eyes flashed with a different light.
"What?" Jiang Zhi's eyelids twitched.
"To seduce you." Xiao Qi said it again, even more bluntly than before.
Jiang Zhi: ...
It wasn't that she didn't hear clearly, but that she was shocked.
"Are you sick?" Jiang Zhi took a few steps back and bumped into Xie Yu's chest.
Xie Yu held Jiang Zhi's shoulder with one hand.
Jiang Zhi tilted his head as if he had thought of something, and immediately said, "I like Xie Yu, and I only like Xie Yu. I will never like anyone else."
Xie Yu's face was calm, he was used to it.
"Oh? So." Xiao Qi smiled, "What does it have to do with me?"
Jiang Zhi: "Oh, not so good."
