Aside from packs of wolves that attack in groups, most animals are solitary.
Especially those who become spirit beasts.
From behind the bison herd, a huge figure suddenly sprang from the ground, and the panicked herd of wild horses immediately scattered with howls.
Amidst the dust and smoke, the attacker's figure became visible.
A bizarre, two-headed pangolin was half-exposed, its ferocious maw chewing on two wild horses.
The two heads chewed incessantly, making crunching sounds, and warm, bright red horse blood flowed down its body.
This pangolin is covered in golden scales and is enormous, at least five meters long; it is a complete monster.
The sight of two heads feeding was so terrifying that it instantly created a large empty space in the dense herd. Evolution has made creatures incredibly diverse, and among beasts, those that have become monsters are even more bizarre and terrifying, but a two-headed monster like the pangolin is truly rare.
Fortunately, the pangolin didn't linger. After eating a couple of wild horses, it shrank back and quickly disappeared into the burrow.
The appearance of the pangolin attracted most people's attention, but the hunters never stopped. In the short three minutes that the pangolin appeared and disappeared, a hunting feast had already come to a swift end.
The leader of the Green Ox glanced back at the chaos behind him, his black eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness, but even more so with worry and unease.
Migration is the only way for animals to find a way to survive, but as the journey becomes longer and longer, and as they see less and less water and greenery, despair and panic will find them.
Just as the leader of the blue oxen turned around, its worried eyes instantly turned into fear.
"Hi~ Little Cow~"
The young man in a gray Taoist robe smiled at the blue ox in front of him, his curved eyes filled with a gentle smile.
Aside from his somewhat strange attire, he was no different from an ordinary human being.
Even though the young man was friendly enough, the Azure Ox, which was already a level four spirit beast, was so frightened that it didn't dare to move an inch.
The terrifying pressure seemed to freeze it, immobilizing it, and the leader of the blue ox naturally felt fear.
The surrounding herd of beasts seemed to have been put on pause; all the chaos, howls, and hoofbeats vanished.
The young man looked at the leader of the blue ox with appreciation, seemingly becoming more and more satisfied the more he looked.
Finally, he couldn't help but rub his hands together, looked up at the huge blue ox, and said with a glimmer in his eyes.
"Little calf, can I pet it? Just for a moment!" the young man said, holding up one finger.
Seeing that the Green Ox did not refuse, the young man couldn't wait to touch the Green Ox leader's forehead, but before his palm could even touch the Green Ox's skin, it was opened by a stream of light.
"How dare you!" A furious shout rang out instantly, and the Green Ox leader took a step back, the terrifying pressure that had been binding it vanishing!
A white blur streaked past, and the Green Ox leader felt a weight on his head as that irresistible pressure descended once more.
But this time, its intuition didn't sense any threat, which made the blue bull leader breathe a slight sigh of relief.
The young Taoist priest's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the little rabbit on the green ox's head.
"Little bunny~ You're so cute!"
The fluffy rabbit spat in disgust.
"Hmph!" What disgusting human cultivators! They're making the rabbit's carrot vomit!
"Junior brother!" Before the rabbit could shoo the person away, a cry of alarm rang out as a figure rapidly approached.
He Qing looked at the Green Ox leader and then at the fluffy little rabbit, and his heart tightened instantly! His junior brother had fallen ill again!
Fearing further trouble, He Qing immediately clasped his hands in apology.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My junior brother meant no harm and absolutely had no intention of enslaving the spirit beast! You can rest assured, fairy. If you don't believe me, my junior brother can swear an oath to prove it!"
Although a vow of the heart will not affect one's cultivation, it is a vow that directly addresses one's true heart and cannot be faked.
Even though Heming didn't dare to be presumptuous after being grabbed by the collar, he still nodded in agreement with his senior brother's words.
"I didn't want to enslave the calf! I just like it..." He just wanted to pet it...
The spirits in the secret realm are too fierce. They bar their teeth and chase people away as soon as they see him. You can't even get close, let alone touch him.
We finally encountered a group of adorable animals, but before we could even touch them, our hands were bruised and burned. What an inauspicious start!
"Hmph! There will never be a next time!" The rabbit pricked up its ears, glared fiercely at the two of them, but its voice was that of a very sweet, childlike girl.
The contrast between fierce and cute instantly excited Heming, who immediately wanted to go over again.
He Qing quickly grabbed the person, repeatedly saying "definitely," while his body swiftly retreated.
Heming, who was forcibly taken away, immediately slumped his head, looking listless as if he had lost his life.
He Qing snorted and ignored him. This kid was just putting on an act. They still had to get to where the humans were, so they couldn't let him cause trouble and delay them.
Once it was confirmed that He Qing and the other person had indeed left, the little rabbit sitting on the cow's head snorted again.
How disgusting humans!
Looking at the ox leader beneath him, who stood frozen in place, the little rabbit stretched out its tiny paw and patted the ox's head.
"It's alright, don't be afraid. As long as you don't agree, humans can't force a contract. If you encounter something like this again, just don't agree."
Just now, He Ming really only wanted to touch the blue ox, so the blue ox didn't feel like it was bound by a contract, and naturally had no way to refuse or agree.
But the little rabbit's words made the ox leader understand, and it quickly nodded and mooed twice.
