Chapter 49 I Want to Be a Salted Fish (Two in One)



"This supply base was previously a farm for low-level spiritual plants. Back then, the Qingshan Secret Realm suddenly merged with Blue Star, causing a disturbance among strange beasts in the area. The original owner of the farm was killed in that incident, and his wife and children subsequently sold the land to the Jianghuai City authorities."

Zhou Ting pointed to a large open space in the distance and said, "So you see... there's also a stone tablet that the farmer's wife erected for him."

Zhou Ting shrugged. "It's just that over the years, the paint on the stone tablet has peeled and the writing is no longer legible. Since it was the original farmer's burial ground, the authorities haven't cleared their graves in all these years. Compared to ordinary professional beastmasters, this treatment is a hundred times better."

"There's nothing we can do. It's because they provided the government with such a large piece of land suitable for building a supply base." Another girl at hand spread her hands and echoed.

Song Yu looked up at the open space in the distance that the two were looking at, nodded, and briefly chatted with them.

The houses in this residential area are similar to ordinary properties in Jianghuai City.

There are family-style houses with 3 bedrooms and 2 living rooms, as well as hotel suites that can accommodate one person, and even brand new villa communities.

But people without strength dare not choose villa communities at all. Those are targets that only professional beastmaster teams with strong strength dare to choose.

Otherwise, if you go out and get beaten up, wouldn't that be bad luck?

Therefore, newcomers like Song Yu who just came to the Qingshan Wilderness Area Supply Base.

All honestly...either choose a hotel suite or a team crammed into a family-style residence.

Song Yu originally wanted to choose a standard hotel-style room for single residence, but he arrived at No. 1 Middle School quite late.

In addition, her luck was not very good and she couldn't find a vacant room after searching for a long time.

In desperation, I could only choose a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in an elevator building and unlock the door.

But Song Yu didn't expect that his luck would be so strange.

After she entered the house, she found that next door was Zhou Ting's team who had arrived earlier.

Zhou Ting's team consists of 6 people, three men and three women.

Originally, they planned to have three boys live in the living room and three girls live in three bedrooms respectively. However, after seeing Song Yu, Zhou Ting asked Song Yu if there was anyone else living in the house... If no one was living there, she wanted to stay here for one night and leave the supply base for the wilderness area tomorrow morning.

Song Yu didn't have any objection to this. She couldn't live in such a big room anyway.

It just so happened that this apartment had three bedrooms, so Song Yu asked Zhou Ting to bring another girl to live next door.

This temporary residence is like a hotel. After this group of people leave, the staff of the supply base will clean it up again.

Song Yu stood on a tall building and looked into the distance.

Look at the dense and lush green forest in the wilderness area in the distance, and then think about the time you will need to stay in the wilderness forest.

She decided to go to the commercial street south of the supply base to buy some more fast food later.

For high school freshmen, there are usually two ways to conduct practical training in wilderness areas.

One method is to automatically go to the wilderness area for training, without accepting any tasks, but only to hone the combat effectiveness of the contracted beast and dig and collect spiritual plants, spiritual minerals and other treasures in the wilderness area.

One method is for students to go to the public mission area of ​​the supply base, choose a mission that suits them, and then enter the wilderness area to complete the mission and get rewards while honing their contracted beasts.

As long as students obtain a certificate of 1,000 hours of wilderness practical training in the wilderness practical training course prescribed by the school, they will be able to complete the course.

The duration on the verification certificate will be recorded in real time by the powerful communication bracelet, and then the corresponding stamped approval slip will be issued by the registration point of the supply base.

Only by obtaining this approval slip can the senior high school students take part in the upcoming Beast Taming College Entrance Examination on time.

Song Yu didn't have any big ambitions, she just wanted to make some money in the wilderness.

Without the supervision of her teacher and the Song Wenhai couple, she didn't even bother pretending.

then……

When Zhou Ting and others were heading to the public task area with great enthusiasm... she was not interested.

When Zhou Ting and others were planning how long they would stay in the wilderness and what level of wilderness beasts they would fight... she was not interested.

Zhou Ting and the others were like chicken blood, getting up at 5:30 in the morning to pack up and set off for the wilderness forest at 6 o'clock... She was so sleepy that her eyes could hardly open. She lay in bed until she had slept for a full ten hours. Then she yawned, washed up, had breakfast, and left the supply base with her backpack on her back.

It's not that Yu Yu didn't work hard, it's really...

As long as she thought about having to stay in the wilderness for 1,000 hours, having no water to bathe for nearly 42 days, and having to sleep in the primeval forest to feed mosquitoes, Song Yu felt like a shrunken mushroom, withering so much that even every strand of her hair drooped down.

Song Yu: QAQ!

Two days is called hiking and picnicking, relaxing, forty-two days is called wilderness survival, famine every day!

As Song Yu left the gate of the supply base and stepped into the Qingshan Wilderness Area, the communication bracelet made a sensitive ding-dong sound, recording the time on time, accurate to every minute and every second, leaving no room for anyone to escape!

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu took two glances at the black bracelet and felt heartbroken.

"If it weren't for this thing being so sensitive and able to accurately detect the difference between the wilderness forest and an ordinary city, I would have already taken the communication bracelet back to Jianghuai City and found a hotel to stay in!"

"Why do we have to stay in the wilderness?"

"Forget it, forget it. The die is cast. I'd better continue on into the wilderness... First, find this quiet area with a small river on the map!"

then……

Song Yu pitifully took out the map he had prepared long ago from his backpack and stepped into the Qingshan Wilderness Area with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Qingshan Wilderness Area.

The trees in the wilderness area are so dense that they block out the sun, just like special effects in a movie. The warm, light golden sunlight penetrates the gaps between the leaves and falls on every corner of the forest, including treetops, shrubs, grass, moss... The entire Qingshan Wilderness forest is as beautiful as the most exquisite murals in a European castle.

However……

Such a seemingly quiet and picturesque forest makes Song Yu alert at all times.

She pricked up her ears and braced herself, as if she had stepped into a battlefield instead of a forest.

“Rustle…”

suddenly!

There was a rustling sound in the dense bushes ahead, and the green leaves of the bushes swayed rapidly.

Song Yu stopped and looked alert.

Suddenly, a gray-black animal with sharp teeth, half a person's height, with gray-white sharp hair on its head, a pointed mouth, a sore nose, and sharp claws and teeth, emerged from the bushes in front. It looked like a honey badger or a badger pig!

At this moment, the other person's pair of dark, small eyes were staring at Song Yu, and a fierce sound came from his throat.

The posture of the front paws seems to be ready to attack in the next second!

——Tusk badger pig!

A low-level monster with no attributes and strong physical strength.

Song Yu frowned and summoned the ball from the beast taming space without hesitation.

As soon as Qiuqiu landed, his massive form was like a small mountain, looking down at the tusk-beast pig, which was several times smaller than him, with cat-like eyes alert. His three tails slapped the ground back and forth, and with every strike, the weeds, gravel, and dead leaves covering the ground would be tossed away by Qiuqiu's hammer-like force!

The flying gravel and dry grass were several inches taller than the entire Tusk Badger Pig!

Some were even overturned and fell in front of the Tusk Badger Pig.

Tusk Badger Pig: ...

The tusk badger pig was completely stunned. It stared blankly at the huge monster that suddenly appeared, trembling, and subconsciously shrank back into the bushes behind it...

If the tusk badger could speak at this moment, he would probably point at Song Yu and curse and yell: You young man have no martial ethics!

“Meow!!”

As Qiuqiu roared at the Tushy Badger, the Tushy Badger, which was originally aggressive, rolled its eyes and fell to the ground in fear.

Qiuqiu: ???

Song Yu: ???

This is a bit outrageous.

Song Yu raised his eyebrows as he looked at the tusk badger that had fainted from fright, and fell into silent thought.

She now finally understood what Song Qi said - the easiest major is still the beast taming major.

The difference in the level of the beasts was so great that they were both frightened unconscious without even needing to fight...

Okay, okay...it's not unacceptable.

In order to ensure that their combat effectiveness is not hindered in the wilderness area, high school students who usually only contract one initial beast will not ride the contracted beast.

Instead, I choose to walk or drive...

Unfortunately, Song Yu didn't have a driver's license and couldn't rent a car, so she could only walk in the wilderness forest like other classmates.

However, the battle was too fast. Song Yu hesitated for a long time, thought about it back and forth, and finally discussed with Qiuqiu. She decided to let Qiuqiu take her to the small river on the map and set up camp there.

The running speed of contracted beasts is completely different from that of humans.

Especially since Qiuqiu is a cat-type contracted beast that excels in speed, the difference is even greater!

Song Yu lay on Qiuqiu's back, feeling as if she was sitting on an open-top high-speed train. The open-top high-speed train occasionally sped through the woods, occasionally took a step and jumped, almost shaking her to the point of vomiting her breakfast.

Half an hour later...

Song Yu couldn't help but hold back, covering his hair that had been blown by the strong wind and was like straw, and cried out "Wow!" He leaned against a tree and vomited.

This, this cat master is so scary...

She, she's carsick! ... No, she's cat-sick!

Although it was still half a day's journey to the river, Song Yu no longer planned to ride the Qiuqiu brand "car".

She carried her bag and ate some biscuits. After resting for more than an hour, she continued to move forward according to the direction of the original map.

no way……

Even if she didn't want to work hard, she still had to drink water when she was in the wilderness.

Without water resources, it is impossible to stay in the wilderness for a long time unless you have a contract with a water-type beast.

Fortunately, Qiuqiu was protecting them. The aura of the level 3 alien beast made many lower-level alien beasts afraid to approach. They walked for five or six hours, during which time only a level 2 alien beast, Feixueyan, came forward to provoke them, but was finally defeated by Qiuqiu in two moves.

“Crash!”

The sound of a huge waterfall in the distance was like the most beautiful music in the world. Song Yu moved his ears and instantly perked up.

"We're getting closer! Looks like we'll be reaching our destination soon!"

Song Yu patted Qiuqiu's cat legs, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

She had originally planned to stay in the wilderness for a week, but thinking about the 1,000 hours and the hardship of the trek...

Song Yu: How about... I try to stay in this wilderness area for ten days or half a month this time?

After all, a short pain is worse than a long pain...

Song Yu covered his chest with his hands, his eyes full of resentment.

"Meow?"

However, when Song Yu was about to move forward with his bag on his back...

Qiuqiu's furry tail suddenly hooked Song Yu's arm.

Song Yu: "Hmm?"

Song Yu looked up in confusion. This was the first time that Qiuqiu had doubts about the direction she was heading.

“Meow~!”

The big cat shook its ears, half-crouched down, with a serious expression, and its two long cat tails behind it swayed slowly from time to time.

Qiuqiu: There are three groups of people fighting in front.

Song Yu:?

"Meow~! (Not only are there three groups of people fighting, but there are also six level 2 alien beasts among them, meow~)"

Although Qiuqiu didn't say anything, the mental contract accurately revealed what Qiuqiu wanted to say.

Cats' hearing is naturally more developed than humans', not to mention that Qiuqiu is a level 3 contracted beast, which makes it even more powerful.

The sounds of fighting from the other side could be heard almost from a long distance away.

"Meow~" Qiuqiu lowered his head, stretched out his cat tail and gently patted Song Yu's head.

Although it had just evolved into a Level 3 beast and could definitely defeat the six Level 2 beasts, if the other party attacked the two of them collectively, the contractor would most likely still be injured.

"Meow~ (Those people are right next to the waterfall, Xiao Yu might have to go somewhere farther away~)" Although Qiuqiu's voice was very low, because of its size, Song Yu still felt like there was a huge blower next to his ear.

"In that case, let's pretend we didn't hear it and just take a detour..." Song Yu rubbed his ears and nodded, completely agreeing with Qiuqiu's idea.

Even after she finished speaking, Song Yu thought for a moment. She coughed twice and looked up at the huge body of Qiuqiu, and the white fur that was particularly conspicuous in the forest...

"How about Qiuqiu just go back to the Beast Taming Space?"

Since there are three groups of humans fighting, it is highly likely that the other party is also the wilderness team staying in the supply base this time.

And it is most likely that the beastmaster team is led by a professional beastmaster, otherwise how could there be 6 level 2 contracted beasts in three teams?

A team like the high school seniors came to the Qingshan Wilderness Area specifically to train their contracted beasts.

Normally, there is a high probability that there will be no conflict with other teams. In order to train the contracted beasts, the class teacher will also remind those teams with level 2 contracted beasts to try to choose to fight with their own contracted beasts instead of relying on rented contracted beasts.

Without experiencing the trials of life and death, how could the contracted beast be trained and strengthened in actual combat?

The contracted beast wants to evolve as quickly as possible, improve its combat power, and become familiar with and develop its own skills. Life and death trials are the best training!

In addition, the cost of renting a contracted beast is high, so usually a team will only rent one tier 2 contracted beast...

In just a few tens of seconds, Song Yu had made his own judgment.

"You should enter the Beast Taming Space later."

"Meow?" Qiuqiu tilted his head in confusion.

"Three teams of professional beastmasters are fighting, which means they are most likely competing for resources, such as spiritual plants and spiritual minerals..."

Song Yu stroked Qiuqiu's furry paws and explained seriously, "Under such circumstances, if you show up rashly... they might think we're also trying to steal their resources."

Qiuqiu:!!

Qiuqiu suddenly realized and his cat face became serious.

Song Yu coughed dryly twice. "Besides, the color of your cat's fur is too eye-catching... Especially in this green forest, you can almost see it just by looking up. So to avoid unnecessary trouble... I have to ask you to stay in the Beast Taming Space for a while."

Usually when there is no conflict of interest in the wilderness forest, human beastmasters are very united.

As long as she took a detour and left, those people would not inexplicably regard her as an enemy.

As a common person, there was really no need for her to fight with others for some spiritual plants and minerals like the male protagonist and others.

Put the ball back into the beast taming space.

Song Yu was carrying his bag and eating an apple while taking a detour.

Since we have heard the sound of the waterfall, it will probably not take long to reach the river area where we originally planned to go.

According to the information on the Wilderness Area Forum...

There are many fish in that area, and it is easy to fish. It is a fishing spot frequently visited by many wilderness teams.

The only bad thing is that there are few spiritual plants and minerals in that area because team members often visit it. Even the wild beasts in the wilderness forest don't like to go there. Only a few sporadic plant-like beasts that don't like to attack humans appear occasionally.

But such a place is most suitable for Song Yu.

Rich food√

Abundant water resources√

Few exotic beasts√

Is there anything better than this? Nothing!

“Crack, crack—”

Song Yu chewed the sweet apple in his mouth, and felt that even the backpack on his body became several pounds lighter than before.

She shuttled through the dense jungle, observing her surroundings vigilantly while quickly following the direction of the water flow...

Water flows to the waterfall.

Three teams are fighting fiercely!

However……

Of these three teams, two are led by Level 1 entry-level professional beastmasters, and one is a team formed by high school seniors.

If Song Yu were standing here at this moment, she would find that the team formed by senior high school students was none other than Xu Hongbin and his companions who had clashed with her at the registration point yesterday!

At this time, the opponents released their contracted beasts one by one and fought with gritted teeth.

"Boss Xu! Why don't we retreat now? Look, Gangzi and the others' contracted beasts have all been knocked down... We can't go on like this." The tall boy stood beside Xu Hongbin, wiping the sweat that dripped from his forehead from time to time. He looked at the several contracted beasts in front of him who were fighting in a mess, his face pale with nervousness.

"Why should we retreat? We were the first to discover the second-grade Qingling Lotus below the waterfall!" Xu Hongbin gritted his teeth and watched the battle in front of him without blinking.

Half an hour ago...

As they were walking in the forest looking for their target, they happened to smell a faint fragrance of lotus flowers. This fragrance made them feel clear-headed just by smelling it.

Without even thinking a single cell, Xu Hongbin and his team immediately knew that a spiritual plant had appeared!

So their team immediately followed the fragrance of the lotus and found the green lotus under the waterfall.

It was a transparent lotus with leaves as crystal-like as jade and flowers as white as crystal. It bloomed under a huge waterfall. Although it had suffered a violent impact, the lotus leaves and flowers were not damaged at all by the waterfall. Instead, under the huge impact of the water, they bloomed even more beautifully.

But just when Xu Hongbin and the others released their contracted beasts, intending for them to pick the Green Spirit Lotus...

At the same time, two other teams led by professional beastmasters appeared in the forest!

The number of people in these two beastmaster teams is comparable to theirs, and since it is a low-level wilderness area, there are fewer resources in the wilderness area.

Therefore, the strength of these two members of the Beast Tamer team is not very strong.

Many of them are not professional beastmasters at all.

Seeing this, the senior team led by Xu Hongbin started fighting with the other two teams!

"But Boss Xu, look at the contracted beasts fighting down there. Aside from your contracted beast, the Level 2 Intermediate Explosive Bear, the only one still able to fight is the Level 2 Advanced Flying Feather Swallow we rented this morning..."

A tall, thin boy nearby scratched his head, his face tense as he gazed at the open space below the waterfall. The cracks and deep craters there resembled those caused by an earthquake, and the contracted beasts locked in a fierce fight. He whispered cautiously, "But the other two teams, besides the professional beastmasters' main battle pets, have several other first-level contracted beasts standing nearby, watching closely... Even if we defeat those two entry-level first-level beastmasters, we still can't defeat the remaining first-level contracted beasts..."

A...

Two...

Three...

Six...

The tall and thin boy carefully counted the first-level contracted beasts surrounding the clearing, except for the ones fighting in the center of the clearing.

There are still six level 1 contracted beasts left that did not participate in the battle!

If it weren't for the martial ethics of these two teams.

As long as the people on the opposite side command these six first-level contracted beasts to attack them, they won’t be able to escape even if they run as fast as they can!

"Bang!——"

As the opposing Fire Beast suddenly spewed out a burst of flames, the Exploding Bear in the center of the battlefield was distracted from its vision and tried to dodge sideways. However, the two-headed Bloodfang Hound beside it seized the opportunity and bit its ear fiercely!

"roar!--"

The Exploding Bear roared in pain.

The huge bear paw slapped the two-headed blood-fanged dog hard, but the two-headed blood-fanged dog dodged it nimbly!

Blood flowed down from the Exploding Bear's ears, soaking a large area of ​​its fur...

Xu Hongbin looked closely and found that the left ear of his contracted beast, the Level 2 Intermediate Explosive Bear, was bitten off by the two-headed blood-fanged dog!

"hateful!"

Xu Hongbin gritted his teeth!

If he hadn't just contracted the initial alien beast three months ago, he would never have lost so badly!

They were just two entry-level Level 1 Beast Tamers, yet they beat him so badly!

"Boss Xu, let's go!"

The tall boy frowned, his expression extremely serious. "Our contracted beasts are all seriously injured. There's no way they can recover on their own in such a short time... Let's hurry back to the supply base to find a doctor to treat them!"

Because among the few people in their team this time, except for Xu Hongbin whose contracted beast was over level 1, the contracted beasts of most of them were still in the juvenile stage, a little short of reaching adulthood...

Therefore, in this battle between the three teams, they suffered the worst loss.

The tall boy's contracted beast was severely injured and is still unconscious in the beast-controlling space.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the supply base for treatment!"

Xu Hongbin gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the contracted beasts and beastmasters of the two teams. "Wait a couple of days before heading into the wilderness area. I'll rent seven or eight tier 2 contracted beasts then. I don't believe this will happen again!"

Even though the two opposing teams clearly only intended to steal the spiritual plants and had no intention of hurting anyone.

But for Xu Hongbin, a gifted child of destiny, this was still a great shame and humiliation.

"Hey...Brother Xu, let's go." The tall boy looked at the battle in the open space ahead, sighed, and patted Xu Hongbin on the shoulder.

He also discovered in this battle that although they were at the same level, Explosive Bear should be more powerful.

However, the Exploding Bear, which had never experienced the tempering of actual combat, had an actual combat capability far lower than that of the other two's contracted beasts. It was also the one that was injured the fastest and the most seriously.

“Boom!——”

As the battles continued to intertwine below, Xu Hongbin reached out to recall Feiyuyan while controlling the Explosive Bear to be taken back to the Beast Taming Space!

“Crash!”

The waterfall river next to it is still rushing down.

suddenly!

Xu Hongbin moved his nose and found that the lotus fragrance he had been able to smell was slowly fading and dissipating...

Xu Hongbin suddenly looked up toward the waterfall. The green lotus flower that had been faintly visible below the waterfall, slowly blooming and swaying, had completely vanished! A black shadow suddenly flashed beneath the water!

"Damn! There's something in the lake! Something in the lake stole the Qingling Lotus!"

"Qingling Lotus, the Qingling Lotus is gone! The essence of the sun and the moon that covered the Qingling Lotus is all on that lotus!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! There's a dark shadow in the river! Attack the shadow! It must be the shadow that stole the Qingling Lotus!"

This moment...

Not only did the tall boy Xu Hongbin and others start shouting and screaming, but the other two teams next to them also discovered this!

grass!

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!

This sentence flashed through everyone's mind almost at the same time, and they immediately stopped the contracted beasts that were fighting and ordered them to attack the water surface.

“Boom!——”

"Bang bang bang bang bang!——"

However.

After a series of attacks, there was nothing left except splashing water!

Song Yu continued walking forward while eating an apple, as the banging sounds behind him grew louder and louder.

She paused, no longer afraid of getting dizzy, and quickly summoned Qiuqiu, grabbed Qiuqiu's fur, and ran quickly to the planned location.

Emma, ​​they said it was a low-level wilderness area, it’s very safe!

This is like an 8.0 magnitude earthquake. Where is safe?

She had to run away quickly!

then……

The destination, which would normally take an hour or two to reach, was reached in less than ten minutes.

Song Yu got off Master Mao's back with a slight tremor, his legs shaking.

After resting for half an hour, we quickly found an open space and set up a simple tent before the sun completely set.

After making a fire and cooking some simple instant noodles, I swung my fishing rod and started catching fish.

She didn't ask for anything else, she just hoped she could catch a fish every day.

However……

Ten minutes later.

Song Yu: ...My hands are so tired.

Twenty minutes later.

Song Yu: ...Or, why don't you just not drop it today?

Thirty minutes later.

Song Yu: ...The fish must be targeting me, otherwise where are the promised abundance of fish? Why haven't I seen a single one?

"Why……"

Song Yu sighed and prepared to retract his fishing rod.

It's almost dark, and she has traveled such a long way today. It's not too much to go to bed early, right?

"Hmm...?" However, just as Song Yu was about to retract the fishing rod, a huge force suddenly came from the fishing rod in his hand, and it swung wildly! Song Yu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly grabbed the fishing rod with both hands!

Here it comes! Here comes the fish she wanted!

Song Yu's cheeks flushed with excitement!
