Chapter 384 Brother, help me again

Ono was shocked by the high dietary standards proposed by the horse-headed man.

Are mutants so particular about what they eat?

Ono's impression of the Deformed Beast is that it is a steam monster that appears out of nowhere in the wild, is brutal, violent, and moody.

They have a very diverse range of subspecies.

The most common one is the Dulu beast, which is found in jungles, mountains and plains.

The Dulu beasts are shaped like wild boars, with brass bodies that gleam with metallic luster. They chew large amounts of dead branches and leaves to keep the fire in their bodies burning.

If anyone dared to disturb them while they were eating, they would be attacked by them. The high-speed rushing Dulu beasts were like boulders rolling down the mountain, smashing wooden houses with ease.

Ono once encountered a Dulu beast in the wild.

The other party recognized the fire burning in his body and blew steam at Ono's mouth, warning him not to set foot on its territory, and then continued to swallow the fallen leaves and dead grass on the ground.

The single-furnace beast is the lightest type of deformed beast. It is formed by the deformation of a single steam furnace. Its lethality and size are relatively limited. It relies on the advantage of group numbers to deter the enemy.

A higher level is the multi-furnace monster.

As the name suggests, it is a deformed beast with at least two furnaces as its heart.

For example, in the Egil volcanic area outside Yaocheng in the east, there live a large number of fire buffaloes. Among the buffaloes, there are golden or silver fire buffaloes with particularly strong physiques, which are a kind of multi-hearth monsters.

There is a huge gap between the upper and lower limits of multi-furnace monsters. Each additional furnace not only brings an increase in strength and speed, but is usually also accompanied by enhanced characteristics and even the awakening of some abilities.

Further up is the top of the deformed beasts, the Deformers.

The Aberrant is a silver dragon with golden eyes soaring in the sky, a ship whale with no natural enemies in the deep sea, a flower armor beast carrying a huge rose on its back, and the Grey Knight incarnated by the Dwarf Fortress.

They define the strongest form of distortion.

…

Ono observed the deformed beast in front of him.

The Centaur is a multi-furnace monster that was distorted from an old steam carriage and has two furnaces.

It expressed itself clearly and used language skillfully. Its commanding demeanor was totally unlike that of a deformed beast that represented savage power.

"You're just giving this little bit of low-quality coal to a beggar?"

The centaur crossed his arms across his chest and glanced at the fuel on the ground with disdain.

"These are all I have. I'll ask the boss for you next time."

Xiao Ye suddenly thought: "The boss said that you like to snatch coal from others. What's going on?"

"I was just annoyed with that guy, running around and talking non-stop, so I punched him twice."

The horse-headed man exhaled a puff of white air from his nose: "Later, I felt that he was quite pitiful for working, so I ate a symbolic bite to give him face."

I see.

Ono asked curiously, "Your wisdom feels very strong. Are there any multi-furnace monsters that are born with wisdom?"

"My bloodline is not comparable to those ordinary deformed beasts."

The horse-headed man said with a hint of pride, "I was made by Mr. Shang Xun, the father of the steam carriage. Mr. Shang Xun's wife, Ms. Hongye, the Rose Princess, often takes me out for a ride."

"After the large-scale pollution, Mr. Shang Xun asked Master Pinkman to help me enlighten and stabilize my wisdom... I was born with the blessing of Master Apostle."

"My father is a great hero, the father of the Fire and Horse Carriage, my mother is the Rose Envoy of the Valley of the Gods, and my godfather is the Apostle Master Pinkman."

"On the day I was born, all the scholars in White Castle sent me congratulations. Because of my appearance, the world had the definition of steam carriages... I am the prototype of all subsequent carriages, and I am also the witness and initiator of the steam era."

"I am the Son of Wind in the Valley of Gods, the Night Watcher of the Rose Garden, and the Never-Stop Runner in the Eastern Continent!"

"Remember my name, Daxiang. I allow you to call me Mr. Daxiang."

Ono was stunned at first, but when he heard the last name, he couldn't help but let out a sound even though his mouth was tightly closed.

But immediately, he restrained himself.

"You were snickering just now, weren't you?"

Daxiang looked at him coldly: "Do you think my name is funny?"

"No, my nose is a little itchy."

Ono explained, and asked in confusion: "You come from a famous family, why did you choose such a... simple name?"

“This is not a random name.”

Daxiang said with a straight face: "Mr. Shang Xun believes that heroes and legends come from the people, and greatness and creation also come from the ordinary. This is his expectation for me and the future, symbolizing the power of the common people, and that they can also create brilliant history and inventions."

Ono was in awe.

As for the father of the steam carriage, Ono only knew that he was a genius who seemed to be born with talents far superior to his peers.

When Shang Xunyi appeared, he not only solved the brass furnace dragon dilemma in Baibao, but also invented the steam carriage, which completely brought the steam furnace device into the lives of ordinary people.

The idea that such an unattainable and amazing person could be so down-to-earth and humble.

Ono was very impressed.

He asked, "Mr. Daxiang, why did you come to this pet shop?"

Generally speaking, most of the aberrant beasts that enter the city are captured. They are a kind of monster that cannot be tamed, and they retain the most ferocious wildness... But there are still people who want to raise aberrant beasts, just for viewing and showing off.

Uncle Yanbu often said something.

——It’s really hard to describe the taste of rich people.

Then, given Daxiang's status in the Valley of Gods, even a poacher would not be able to steal from him.

"Of course I did it on purpose."

The centaur said, "I used to be welcomed and treated well wherever I went. Now that I am too far away from the people, I want to experience what ordinary aberrant beasts go through."

"At an appropriate time, I will reveal my identity, slap those guys in the face, and have some fun. Mr. Shang Xun and Ms. Hongye have left the Valley of Gods for many years, and it's too boring for me to stay there. Remember to keep this a secret and don't tell anyone else."

Ono nodded.

"I'm telling you all this because I think you look pretty good, so I'd like to be your friend... Um... Stay away from me, quickly, stay away from me."

Daxiang suddenly roared softly and his body kept shaking.

Ono quickly retreated to the door.

Then, Daxiang's eyes turned into a cold lead-gray color. A large amount of steam emanated from its heavy horse head, and a low hissing sound came from its mouth. Its taut body pulled the chain and made a clanging sound.

Wildness took control of Daxiang.

In the next few days, Ono went to take care of Daxiang every day.

Daxiang is sometimes normal and sometimes crazy, but he always tells Xiaoye before he goes crazy, which shows that he has strong self-control.

On the fourth day, Daxiang asked Ono to untie the chain so that he could move around.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

Ono sticks to his job duties.

"I see you don't understand at all. Now if you listen to me, I will give you a lot of Omni-Stones in the future. Do you understand? How much do you earn here? Why are you so serious about it?"

"Friends, let's do something helpful."

No matter what Daxiang said, Ono just shook his head.

"Dead-headed."

The horse-headed man sneered: "You don't even consider me a friend. How hypocritical."

"Okay."

At this time, Shang Zi walked in from the warehouse door. She smiled and said, "Daxiang, put away your little tricks. Xiaoye knows very well what to do and what not to do."

"Don't flatter yourself. The identity you boast about doesn't belong to you at all. That was Mr. Shang Xun and Miss Hongye's original car, the 'Si Hai'. As for your 'Da Xiang', it was just assembled from the discarded parts of the 'Si Hai'. It is just a farm vehicle used to transport rose seeds and nuts in the East Continent."

"What you are talking about is your own imaginary life, the life and status of Sihai that you cannot touch. As far as I know, Sihai has not been distorted or transformed. Even if it cannot speak, you cannot touch it at will."

These words left Daxiang speechless.

Ono's face was filled with astonishment.

"Now, let me tell you some good news and some bad news."

Shang Zi flipped open an account book in her hand. "The good news is that the employer who likes to torture and whip her pets has lost interest in you. She chose another more fashionable multi-furnace monster."

The horse-headed man's eyes lit up.

"The bad news is that the director of Yancheng Zoo has officially purchased a batch of extraordinary creatures from me, and you are one of them."

The female boss closed the account book and said with a half-smile on her face: "From now on, we may meet again at the zoo. I hope you will like your new life of being watched by everyone."

Daxiang laughed loudly towards the sky: "It can't be any worse than here! God won't let me go... um..."

Then it went into a frenzy again, pounding its chest with its arms wildly and making indistinct hissing sounds from its raised head.

…

The zoo is behind the museum, which is a new building first of its kind in Yancheng.

The Deformed Beasts caused many casualties in the wild, so the Yancheng Council took this opportunity to build a zoo to raise and house some Deformed Beasts. This not only allowed the citizens to show their characteristics and appearance up close, but also reduced the public's fear of Deformed Beasts.

Ono found Daxiang in the zoo.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It lay in a glass house with a huge specially made iron cage inside.

The cage was big enough for Daxiang to walk around in circles, but he became very depressed and irritable, and spent most of his time growling and raging, talking to himself, and cursing the unscrupulous businessmen and onlookers.

In the zoo, it is just a larger bird in a cage. No matter how it vents, curses, and struggles, it eventually becomes listless, giving up, and becoming numb.

It seemed to have turned into one of the most common deformed beasts: savage, ferocious, and aggressive towards everything around it.

Ono felt it was a bit pitiful.

But he had no choice.

Over the next month, something big happened.

Uncle Yanbu formally submitted an application to the city government office and became Ono's legal father and guardian. From then on, Yanbu would be responsible for everything Ono did.

In the past, Xiao Ye always thought that Uncle Yanbu was just joking, but he didn't expect that he really adopted him.

What shocked Ono even more was what Shiobu said to him after their official father-son relationship was confirmed.

"Since you are already my son, I will be honest. I will not pretend anymore. I am a wealthy man with a fortune."

As the uncle said this, he was crossing his legs in straw sandals and sewing a patch on his trousers with needle and thread.

It's very unconvincing.

"This is my first time being a father, and I don't have much experience, so I'll give you a small gift. Go look at the door."

Yanbu put down his needle and thread and said.

Ono walked out of the store.

Two large steam carriages were parked outside, and several Jade Rabbit bodyguards got out of the carriages. They silently opened the back compartment. Inside was an iron cage, and inside the cage was Daxiang.

Yanbu smiled and said, "I see you often go to the zoo to see this guy. You must like it very much. I bought it from the zoo. You can keep it for fun."

Ono felt like his brain wasn't enough.

Not long ago, this small shop was on the verge of closing down, and Uncle Yanbu didn't look like a rich man. His hobbies were walking the dog, going to the market to buy all kinds of cheap things, and looking for people to play tribal chess.

"Remember the fire in the store? I went to buy some supplies."

Yanbu told Xiaoye: "Actually, I didn't go to restock the goods. I was called back by my family."

"My grandfather had some businesses in Crystal City. He wasn't very rich, but he had a small fortune. My ancestors were also famous in Yancheng. The first two people in Yancheng who owned musk ladybugs were the prophet Duolun Nunu and my ancestor Yanbao."

"Yanbao was kidnapped and extorted by the Red Devil Thieves. He was particularly concerned about the safety of his descendants, so he placed them in different cities and kept it a secret."

"But all of this had nothing to do with me before, because my father died very early and my grandfather lived a long life. I just lived a simple life and didn't starve to death."

"My grandfather passed away not long ago. I didn't expect him to write my name in his will. I also got a share of the inheritance and received 17 million seashells. Thanks to the blessing of Lord Yaoshen."

Yanbu put his hands in his pockets and shook his legs proudly: "Anyway, our family is rich now."

The little dog Dagu at his feet was also wagging its tail excitedly.

"Father……"

This was the first time Ono used this name, and it felt very unfamiliar.

He was transformed from an old mine in the mountains outside Yancheng. His original form is a steam stove for making fire for heating. Judging from his age based on his consciousness, he is now exactly nine years old.

However, unlike ordinary people, the Fire Steam Tribe grows very fast. They hardly need to rest, are not afraid of pain, and do not feel tired. As long as they have the supply of the Omnipotent Stone, they can work day and night.

"I really have a son now. Ono, from today on, your name will be Shiono."

Yanbu touched his son's head.

"Father, I wonder... can we release Daxiang?"

"Huh? You don't want to keep it anymore? It cost a lot of money."

"It's quite pitiful. I feel... the difference between it and me is actually just different luck. It's just that the gods have given me more gifts, allowing me to gain wisdom."

I don’t know what other people think, but Ono does think so.

When the products of the polluted omnipotent stone undergo transmutation, they will possess innate intelligence, and their bodies will also be distorted into human form, making it easy for them to integrate into the Yao society.

But if what occurs is a distortion, then they will enter the realm of beasts and become wild and ferocious.

When released from the cage, the centaur was extremely surprised.

"You really let me go?"

"Um."

Ono waved at it: "Don't get caught again, just go."

“Wait!”

Daxiang said: "I don't owe anyone a favor."

"Aren't you curious about why I can speak various languages ​​and possess wisdom? It's because of the Blue Rose."

"As long as this rose is planted in the body, the Deformed Beast will be able to control its impulses. Even if the blue rose disappears and withers later, the change in behavior will be permanent. There are some of these roses growing in the wild in the Valley of the Gods. They are very small and very rare. Once extraordinary creatures discover them, they will eat them. I also found them by accident."

"If it's genuine, we won't see you again."

After saying this, the centaur transformed into an old car. White steam spewed out of its iron horse head, and it rushed towards freedom with a rumbling sound.

A month later, Ono saw Daxiang again in a pet shop in Yancheng.

This time it was caught by the hunters on the spot for stealing their coal and kerosene, and then sold to the city.

"Brother, please give me a hand again." Daxiang said through the iron bars, tears in his eyes.

Ono redeemed it again.

This time, Daxiang took Ono to the Valley of the Gods to look for the mysterious blue rose.

…

After arriving in Kamiya, Shiono worked in the rose garden for twelve years.

He started out as a porter and navvy worker, worked his way up from an apprentice to a gardener, and finally gained recognition from Apostle Pinkman.

During this period, under the guidance of Pinkman, Shiono conducted a lot of experiments with blue roses, and finally cultivated a stable and effective [Calm Blue Rose].

Shiono transplanted blue roses into some deformed beasts, successfully helping them curb their animal nature, and this group gradually turned into the beast-form Fire Steam Tribe.

His purity and integrity won the trust and respect of the deformed beasts. More and more deformed beasts took the initiative to find Shiono and completed the transformation from beast to human.

When Shiono was 32 years old, he accomplished a great feat.

He used the Blue Rose to help a golden-eyed silver dragon overcome its violent impulse to destruction, allowing the deformed creature to return to the White Castle where it was born under the name of "White Shepherd", and even registered as a martial artist in Yancheng.

After that, Yanye went east into the sea again and spent four years trying his best to persuade the ship whale [Rambo] with the blue rose. He accompanied Rambo through the ups and downs of the restless period and finally made it a new member of the Yao clan.

Shiono kept moving forward.

He continued walking with the blue rose, hoping to give more deformed beasts the opportunity to awaken and enlighten themselves.

To become a beast that pursues instincts or a human that controls instincts is a choice for every life. In the past, deformed beasts had no choice, but Shiono wants them to have a choice.

The name of [Wild Mage] is known to everyone, from the Crystal City in the north to the Elf Village in the south.

And during Yanye's long journey that never stops, there is always a horse-headed guardian who follows him closely.
