Chapter 50: Old Sha's Warning, the Arrival of a Strange Beast Companion? (Part 1)
Chapter 50: Old Sha's Warning, the Arrival of a Strange Beast Companion? (Part 1)
Li Shu ran away.
Well, technically, he was taking a break for a while, as he had been at Su Ping's place for over a week and needed to return home.
Su Ping felt a bit disappointed, as such a good worker was hard to come by.
But it was understandable.
Becoming a breeder was no easy task. If it weren't for Su Ping's upbringing with the Linlang at his family's breeding base and his special talent, becoming a breeder would have been even more challenging.
When Li Shu's father, Li Senlin, arrived, he was extremely polite and even offered Su Ping a large red envelope, but Su Ping declined.
Their relationship was good, and Li Shu had helped out for many days, even assisting Su Ping in improving Plum Grove Pine's pine nut cannon skill. However, Su Ping had also gained what he wanted.
That was enough.
Li Senlin felt a bit embarrassed.
Li Shu's departure didn't affect Su Ping too much.
Although he had to handle the phone calls and customer reception himself, the busiest period had passed, and the confirmed companion beasts had all paid their deposits and were now waiting for their turn to be bred.
After the initial chaos, Woodheart was now on the right track.
However, Su Ping still acknowledged Li Shu's achievements.
No wonder the kid was exhausted; a whole bundle of wolf tobacco, mixed and stirred for an afternoon, and after hours of refining, it became a bucket of dark green liquid with an indescribably foul and strange odor.
Even Su Ping wanted to stay away from it.
But in the end, it was an experiment, and despite his discomfort, Su Ping proceeded.
After witnessing the effects of the wolf tobacco, not just the benefits, Su Ping naturally couldn't use his own Linlang as test subjects.
Instead, he bought a few white mice for experimentation.
The results left him speechless.
Not only did the mice show no aversion, but they even liked it due to their rodent nature. However, after feeding them for two days, they only grew fatter.
Su Ping was at a loss for words.
However, as mentioned earlier, he couldn't use his own Linlang as test subjects, nor could he afford to buy a wolf-type companion beast for experimentation.
The wolf tobacco experiment had to be put on hold temporarily until he had the means to continue.
After Li Shu's departure, Su Ping's actions were no longer restrained.
In the following days, not only did he complete the breeding of the Linlang, but he also received a payment of 10 million, and after tax deductions, he had nearly 9 million left.
Unfortunately, this large sum of money no longer excited Su Ping, as the ridiculous price of 300 million for the laboratory equipment sent by Vice President Liu made him realize that in the companion beast industry, this amount was insignificant.
At the same time, all twenty-six Linlang, including Woodhead and Xiao Qing, had completed their Heartwood cultivation!
There was no need to say more about this accomplishment.
However, Su Ping knew that this was just the beginning.
The unique combat style of the Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu brothers had given Su Ping a direction and method for breeding.
While his contracted companion beast's combat was one aspect, he also wanted to train these beasts in group combat if possible.
Generally speaking, Beastmasters primarily focus their efforts on their Soul Companion Beasts.
The reason is simple; ordinary Beastmasters cannot carry too many wild beasts.
But Su Ping is different; he possesses the Talent of Beast Companion Haven, allowing him to take away any beast below his own rank, as long as it fits within his Beast Space.
Under these circumstances, coupled with the Divine Beast Codex, which enhances his affinity and control over beasts, he can truly forge a unique path as a Beastmaster.
However, group combat training is relatively challenging, and Su Ping has been actively searching for training methods during this time.
It's a bit unfortunate that Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, the twin brothers, haven't returned since that one time.
It's unclear whether their family disapproves of such expensive training or if there's another reason, but Su Ping feels a sense of regret.
If given the chance, he genuinely wants to learn from them.
However, for now, he must face another matter.
Night.
Su Ping had never found the time to venture to the back of the woods, where the Spirit Stream River flows.
Without the bright daylight, the lush green grass, and the soothing flow of the river, the scenery takes on a slightly eerie atmosphere.
Amidst the swaying trees and grass, shadows seem to gather like ghosts.
Su Ping stands there, accompanied by Old Sha and Xiao Qing.
"Is this the place?" Su Ping asks softly.
Old Sha, ever vigilant, scans the surroundings, hearing Xiao Qing's question. He doesn't speak but nods slightly.
Over the past few days, the training of their Forest Wolves has progressed rapidly, and their skill improvements have been remarkably swift.
Even the previously Elite Ninth Rank Forest Wolf, with its specialized skill, the Vine Strangle, has advanced to the Mastery level.
The Mind Link ability allows Su Ping to better understand the needs of the Forest Wolves, enabling him to provide more targeted training, which has greatly benefited their cultivation.
However, it has also given Su Ping a deeper understanding of Old Sha's meaning.
Previously, Old Sha had shown an unusually high level of alertness towards the Spirit Stream River. Initially, Su Ping thought it was a misperception or an occasional escaped beast from the river.
These aquatic beasts rarely attack creatures on the shore, even when they are lurking.
But after acquiring the Mind Link Talent, Su Ping could understand Old Sha's feedback more intuitively. He finally grasped Old Sha's intention.
Over the past few nights, on the bank of the Spirit Stream River, in their backyard area, a strange presence has appeared!
Su Ping couldn't help but take this situation seriously. If an undetected beast were to cause trouble or create an incident, the consequences could be significant.
However, after waiting for a full hour, they saw nothing but the night wind chilling them.
Even Old Sha, facing Su Ping's doubtful gaze, seemed embarrassed and surprised. This old wolf, nearly twice Su Ping's age, appeared unsure and confused.
Just then, at that very moment, a ripple appeared in the distant Spirit Stream River, so subtle that even the naked eye couldn't detect it.
The next instant, a tiny figure emerged from within.
Before Su Ping could make out what it was, he only caught a glimpse of something snow-white in the moonlight, and Old Sha was already lunging forward!
