Mei Ru Feng called.
"The arrangements for you to study at home have been made."
Li Cunxu: "Thank you, Teacher Feng."
Mei Ru Feng: "You need to keep your promise about what you mentioned earlier."
Li Cunxu: "Don't worry, I will keep my promise."
Mei Ru Feng: "Also, come to school less, it's best not to come at all. The principal is very displeased with you."
Li Cunxu: "Mhm."
Li Cunxu had no intention of going to school anyway.
The ten Fragrant Dairy Cows for Huang Guan Ranch arrived, though they were a bit slow.
"Hurry down."
After the delivery guy waved his Whip to drive the ten Fragrant Dairy Cows down,
Li Cunxu pondered that perhaps he should also get a Whip.
A Whip is woven from the hair of high-level Pet Beasts and has a suppressing effect on low-level Pet Beasts.
A Whip can also serve as a practical weapon in a Beast Tamer Battle.
In formal Beast Tamer Battles, each Beastmaster is allowed to bring one weapon onto the field.
Next, the delivery guy drove two Warm Sheep off the truck.
"Hey, stop driving them, you delivered the wrong ones. I didn't buy Warm Sheep."
The delivery guy said: "No mistake. These two Warm Sheep are a thank-you gift from the Boss."
In the past few days, Lin Jiusan confirmed whether the Dragon Curse Li Cunxu mentioned was true. After confirming it was true, he transported the thank-you gift along with the ten Fragrant Dairy Cows.
Li Cunxu clicked his tongue and said, "Your Boss's thank-you gift is too generous!"
The wool of the Warm Sheep provides excellent insulation in the cold winter, and their milk can keep one warm all day. Therefore, one adult Warm Sheep can sell for over five hundred thousand.
Two Warm Sheep can sell for over a million.
He drove the cattle and sheep onto the Grassland to graze.
In two or three days, the Black Iron Pasture Li Cunxu had planted had already grown out, radiating green vitality.
The rapid growth characteristic of Black Iron Pasture, the fertile soil of the Prairie, Little Soft's Growth Halo, plus Li Cunxu's Bountiful Ranch—with four buffs stacked—it would be strange if the Black Iron Pasture grew slowly.
"Little Soft, have the Earth Slimes chew the soil and dig an Underground Cave."
For the Earth Slimes to chew out an Underground Cave would take a long time, so Li Cunxu wasn't too anxious.
Seven days later, heavy rain began to fall again over the Muyuan Plain.
Black Clouds obscured the sun and sky, and the torrential rain seemed ready to flood the entire Muyuan Plain.
Inside the Wooden House, the lights were bright. Li Cunxu sat in a Rattan Chair, with a half-full cup of Warm Sheep Milk he had been sipping nearby.
The Warm Sheep, perhaps due to the unfamiliarity of the new ranch, did not produce milk for the first few days, but started producing milk after adapting in the following days.
Warm Sheep Milk is actually not suitable for drinking in this season; drinking it in the summer causes internal heat for several days. Winter is the best season for consumption.
Li Cunxu did not waste the freshly produced Warm Sheep Milk and sold it to the ingredient buyers.
Warm Sheep Milk can be used as a material ingredient to make Spiritual Food.
What made Li Cunxu happy was that the Fragrant Dairy Cows showed faint signs of producing milk.
"It's time to go out."
Li Cunxu finished the remaining half cup of Warm Sheep Milk, put on his Raincoat, grabbed his shovel, and stepped into the curtain of rain.
The warmth brought by the Warm Sheep Milk dispelled the cold and dampness of the rain.
The Mech Hunter, also wearing a Raincoat, asked: "Are you going to subdue Slimes?"
"No, you stay here and look after the Fragrant Dairy Cows and Warm Sheep at home."
If the Fragrant Dairy Cows and Warm Sheep were lost, Li Cunxu would be heartbroken.
Furthermore, the Slimes that grew stronger participating in the Slime Melee do not need the Mech Hunter's Support to subdue wild Slimes.
"Little Soft, give them the order to go out and subdue Slimes. Even if the rain stops, they don't need to return; they should continue expanding outwards."
Little Soft issued the command to the group of Slimes, and the Slimes scattered towards the depths of the Prairie like an advancing army.
Li Cunxu held his shovel and plunged into the rain-soaked Prairie.
He was still a bit worried about his Younger Sister and planned to dig her up to check on her.
He had been feeling uneasy for the past few days, having had nightmares about his Younger Sister's tragic death for several nights.
Last night's Nightmare was particularly chilling; he dreamt that his Younger Sister extended a skeletal hand from Into the ground, struggling to climb out, and crawled to Li Cunxu's feet, accusing him of his evil deeds.
Saying she was cold and lonely underground.
All of this was his fault.
Digging open the burial site left Li Cunxu unsettled.
His Younger Sister was gone.
He continued digging down and reached his Younger Sister's clothes and the Teddy Bear doll.
"Her clothes are here, but she isn't?"
"What's going on?"
He dug further down and found five pink and tender Meatballs.
Five Meatballs: one large one and four small ones.
Li Cunxu had a premonition that these round Meatballs were his Younger Sister.
"Younger Sister?"
Li Cunxu called out softly, and all five Meatballs trembled in response.
"So, you hid your Younger Sister here. No wonder I couldn't find her."
"But, your Younger Sister is truly peculiar, to be able to turn into Meatballs."
Behind him, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded.
Li Cunxu turned around to see a person cloaked in black robes, with eyes flashing with Crimson Blood God light, appearing behind him and looking down at him condescendingly.
Li Cunxu staggered back a few steps, exclaiming in shock: "It's you, the Mysterious Person who nearly killed me and took a Forbidden Spirit Nail from my Younger Sister."
"Why are you here?"
The Mysterious Person muttered: "So you realized my existence. No wonder you moved your Younger Sister's location. It's a pity your insight is too shallow; you don't understand the methods of a Strong person."
"However, it's strange. Weren't you killed by me back then? Why are you resurrected? Do you possess a life-saving Item?"
The astonishment on Li Cunxu's face suddenly vanished, his eyes flickering with amusement as he revealed a Bizarre smile.
"So it really was you."
"A Strong person? You are not. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The Mysterious Person became vigilant.
Li Cunxu raised his right hand, forming a gun shape with his fingers, and made a 'bang' sound towards the Mysterious Person.
It was a false alarm; nothing happened.
The gunshot made by his mouth amused the Mysterious Person.
"Haha, you've gone mentally unstable from being scared. You really can't handle a scare!"
The Mysterious Person thought Li Cunxu had become abnormal due to fright.
Just as the Mysterious Person's attention was captured by Li Cunxu's comical action, a fierce gunshot suddenly rang out across the vast Prairie, echoing through the entire world like thunder without rain.
Half of the Mysterious Person's body around the heart area was blown away. Immediately after, the Mech Hunter descended from the sky, landing behind the Mysterious Person. A flash of silver-white blade light followed, and a Nepalese hunting knife performed a Beheading.
With only a head remaining, the Mysterious Person was still stubbornly alive and tried to Summon a Pet Beast for a counterattack.
The Mech Hunter acted quickly, applying a layer of Hunter's Cage to the head, interrupting the Summon and sealing its Beast Tamer Space.
The Mysterious Person looked at the appearing Mech Hunter in disbelief and said: "How are you here? Weren't you guarding the ranch?"
Li Cunxu was slightly stunned; he couldn't believe the head could still speak.
Oh! This is the world of the extraordinary, so that's normal.
Li Cunxu smiled: "I was tricking you. I didn't expect you to be so simple-minded and believe it so easily."
The Mysterious Person froze, startled: "Did you see through my Stealth and deliberately set up a Conspiracy against me?"
How could he not see through your Stealth?
For the past few days, you've been constantly moving in front of the Mech Hunter. How could it not notice you?
The Mech Hunter is a robot and also a hunter; it has an odor sensor and is very sensitive to auras. The Mysterious Person's attempt to Concealment his aura was clearly inadequate, and the Mech Hunter detected him.
Because the Mysterious Person was too close to Li Cunxu, the Mech Hunter, upon detection, did not attack immediately but subtly warned Li Cunxu that an invisible person was at the ranch.
Then, Li Cunxu having nightmares for several consecutive days, missing his Younger Sister, he immediately understood the invisible person's intention: to make him miss his Younger Sister and worry about her, thus drawing her out.
So he played along and set up this Ambush.
Li Cunxu took off his shirt, wrapped the five Meatballs inside, put the seventy-one Forbidden Spirit Nails into his bag, picked up the Teddy Bear smeared with mud on its face and put it in his pocket, and climbed out of the dirt pit.
"I've been having nightmares these past few days; it was your Pet Beast, wasn't it."
Li Cunxu moved closer to clearly see the Mysterious Person's Appearance—that pale Appearance and Bewitching red eyes.
"No, I misspoke. It wasn't a Pet Beast; it should be a Blood Beast. A Blood God Cult member. Hello there."
Some people believe that humanity cannot defeat the invasion of the Four Evil Gods and that it is better to surrender and survive. Thus, these people became human traitors, accepting modifications from the Four Evil Gods and throwing themselves into the embrace of the Evil Gods.
The Mysterious Person before him was a Blood God Cult member who had surrendered to the embrace of the Crimson Blood God.
Blood God Cult members, also known as 'Blood Demons,' possess astonishing Vitality and can survive stubbornly as long as their blood does not dry up and their heads are not shattered.
If the Mysterious Person's head were placed back on his neck and supplied with sufficient blood, he could recover completely in a few days.
