By the time Cai Mingming arrived at the breeding base, it was already evening.
"This young master has finally arrived."
From a racer who loved speeding to a long-distance truck driver, Cai Mingming felt he had matured quite a bit.
However, in order not to be called "Mom and Dad's good boy" by his friends, Cai Mingming chose to keep his flowing long hair and a closet full of trendy clothes, to prove that he didn't listen to his parents' arrangements in everything.
Cai Mingming nodded, then, seeing that there were no outsiders present, he asked in a low voice, "Dad, now that I'm an intermediate-level Beastmaster, can I compete with Chen Guwen?"
Cai Hong glanced at him faintly: "What do you think?"
Cai Mingming stroked his flowing long hair, a slight smile appearing on his face: "Although I can't win, maybe I can last for a few minutes."
Cai Hong remained noncommittal, only raising his head towards the Fire-Patterned Snake in the iron cage: "Simple, as long as you can defeat this Fire-Patterned Snake and that Snow Cloud Wolf, it will prove that you can compete with Chen Guwen."
Hearing this, Cai Mingming touched his chin: "That seems to make sense."
After a conversation between father and son, Cai Mingming opened the door of the carriage, and Cai Hong had people move the iron cage out.
The Fire-Patterned Snake in the iron cage was still sleeping, but its several-meter-long body and dark red scales still made them feel a burst of fear.
"Dad, where should we put this Fire-Patterned Snake?"
"Should we lock it in the small dark room?" Cai Mingming asked first.
Cai Hong shook his head and replied with a smile: "I've already made preparations."
After the last incident, he had a flash of inspiration and decided to clear out the area near the Snow Cloud Wolf, leaving it for the pet beasts that Chen Guwen sent.
After all, Chen Guwen is powerful, and the pet beasts he sends are at least second-tier in strength.
Moreover, these pet beasts that Chen Guwen sent are all in the Qinling Mountains, so it would be better to integrate the entire area together after the aggressiveness of these pet beasts decreases, and name it [Qinling Pet Beast Area].
Now, with a second-tier Snow Cloud Wolf and a second-tier Fire-Patterned Snake, the scale of the Qinling Area is gradually taking shape.
Cai Hong silently thanked Chen Guwen again, and then had the staff put the Fire-Patterned Snake in the area next to the Snow Cloud Wolf.
"Awoo?"
The Snow Cloud Wolf had been here for two days, and it was gradually adapting to the environment here.
The area of activity was not very large, but it had mountains, water, and rocks, and there was plenty of food delivered to its mouth every day.
Except for not being able to lead a pack of Snow Cloud Wolves to dominate the mountains and forests, and having no space to display its full of ambition, this place was actually not bad.
Suddenly, the Snow Cloud Wolf noticed the staff moving an iron cage into the adjacent area. It immediately became interested, quickly walked to the fence, and looked up: "Awoo?"
Which unlucky guy was caught again?
Wait, why "again"?
When the iron cage was opened, the Snow Cloud Wolf was suddenly stunned, feeling that this Fire-Patterned Snake looked very familiar.
It remembered.
It had seen this Fire-Patterned Snake before, in a dense forest.
This Fire-Patterned Snake occupied a precious spiritual plant and was driven away by it leading the wolf pack.
Wolf pack...
Thinking of the past scenes of howling in the mountains and forests, the Snow Cloud Wolf lowered its head, its eyes dim.
It could no longer be the leader of the number one wolf pack in the Qinling Mountains.
"Hiss..."
Under the Snow Cloud Wolf's long gaze, the Fire-Patterned Snake finally woke up leisurely. It showed a violent reaction to the unfamiliar environment in front of it, opening its mouth and spitting out flames.
Cai Mingming stood in front of the fence, with Gemstone Meow lying on his shoulder. The man and his pet watched the raging fire burning wantonly from afar, the scorching flames tumbling wildly, and both fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Cai Mingming turned his head to look at Gemstone Meow and asked, "How is it? Are you confident in defeating it?"
"Meow!"
Gemstone Meow was shocked, shaking its head frantically like a rattle drum.
Seeing this, Cai Mingming said in frustration: "If you can't even defeat the Fire-Patterned Snake, how can you compete with Chen Guwen?"
"Gemstone Meow, you disappoint me too much!"
Hearing this, Gemstone Meow puffed up its cheeks angrily, its ruby-like eyes flashing with a faint white light, scaring Cai Mingming into quickly raising his hands in surrender: "I was wrong, baby, you are the most powerful."
At the same time, the raging flames burned the nearby ground and rocks to a charred black, and the Fire-Patterned Snake finally stopped panting, scanning its surroundings and checking the environment.
The next moment, the Snow Cloud Wolf and the Fire-Patterned Snake met eyes.
"Hiss!"
The Fire-Patterned Snake instantly recognized this large Snow Cloud Wolf.
It was it who led a group of Snow Cloud Wolves to snatch its spiritual plant and occupy its territory!
In this instant, the Fire-Patterned Snake subconsciously retreated, but it quickly realized that the Snow Cloud Wolf's situation seemed to be exactly the same as its own, with no other Snow Cloud Wolves around it.
So, across the high fence, the Fire-Patterned Snake made a mocking cry at the Snow Cloud Wolf: "Hiss hiss hiss."
"Awoo!"
The Snow Cloud Wolf was furious, opening its mouth and spewing out a gust of cold air, but it was blocked by the fence made of special materials.
Seeing this, the Fire-Patterned Snake's mocking cries became even more unscrupulous.
Originally, it was still grief-stricken because it had been caught and thrown into an unfamiliar environment, but now, seeing that the Snow Cloud Wolf was in the same boat as itself, its mood suddenly became much more balanced.
"Shouldn't we care about them?" Cai Mingming turned his head to look at Cai Hong.
Cai Hong shook his head slightly: "No need, they can't fight."
After a pause, he looked at the pet beasts in the other areas who were rioting because of this commotion, and pondered: "This can also be considered as giving them a little pressure."
Cai Mingming scratched his smooth, flowing long hair and said slowly: "Dad, if Chen Guwen sends cute pet beasts in the future, remember to leave them for me."
Cai Hong immediately gave his son a disgusted look.
Xuanhe Village,
Farm.
After sending away the Fire-Patterned Snake, the farm returned to a peaceful and serene state.
But Chen Yuan had an important thing to do.
No mistakes, one song, one shot, one inside, one content, one at a time, look!
He slowly came to the field and looked at the three Kongming Fruit Tree saplings that had already sprouted.
Of the five fruit cores planted, three had successfully sprouted, which was a pretty good probability.
Initially, the average distribution of three Kongming Fruits did not significantly improve the little ones, Chen Yuan planned to use source points to accelerate the growth of a Kongming Fruit Tree.
The fruit produced would be just right for improving the Cold Ripple Ox's comprehension.
As a level 3 resource, the number of source points required for the Kongming Fruit Tree to mature is twice that of the Lumen Fruit Tree.
Investing a full twelve source points, the Kongming Fruit Tree sapling grew into a large tree more than twenty meters high in a short period of time, with dense branches extending in all directions and golden leaves swaying gently.
Seven large orange fruits hung on the tree.
"Only seven fruits."
Chen Yuan thought about it seriously and shook his head.
On the one hand, he wanted to let each of the little ones eat a Kongming Fruit, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the Lumen Fruit to exchange for the advancement materials of the Runrun Duck and the Steel-Headed Groundhog, seven Kongming Fruits were completely not enough.
Therefore, Chen Yuan spent twelve source points again to accelerate a Kongming Fruit Tree sapling to maturity, producing eight Kongming Fruits.
In this way, although the number of source points accumulated during this period was bottoming out, he had harvested a total of fifteen Kongming Fruits.
"Duck Duck and Iron Head Kid have hope for advancement now."
Chen Yuan looked happy.
But at this moment, Chen Yuan decided to let the little ones feast first.
Hearing the news that they were going to eat fruit, the little ones immediately gathered around, plus the Cold Ripple Ox that was clinging to Grandpa's side, a total of eight.
Chen Yuan immediately took out eight Kongming Fruits and distributed them one by one.
The Kongming Fruit was much larger than the Lumen Fruit, and it was a little difficult for Runrun Duck to hold it with its wings, so it discussed with Electric Flying Cat for a while, and the two little ones went into the kitchen, where Runrun Duck washed it with water and Electric Flying Cat grabbed a kitchen knife and cut the Kongming Fruit into several pieces.
The Falling Meteor Horned Beast did not have such concerns, it directly swallowed the Kongming Fruit in one bite, and then licked its lips with relish.
Chen Yuan's attention, however, fell on the Cold Ripple Ox.
When the Cold Ripple Ox finished eating the Kongming Fruit, Chen Yuan immediately spoke out: "Try to use Cold Breath now."
This was a level 3 resource, and the comprehension it could improve was very obvious.
"Moo."
The Cold Ripple Ox glanced at Chen Weiyi, and after seeing the latter nod slightly, it slowly walked into the yard and aimed at a large rock not far away.
But it just stood quietly in place, without any movement for a long time.
The Cold Ripple Ox tried to open its mouth, but the scene of trying and failing and being laughed at by its little friends appeared in its mind.
"Gaga?"
Runrun Duck looked at the motionless Cold Ripple Ox, its face full of doubt.
What is it doing, duck?
"Electric ~"
Electric Flying Cat, the smartest one on the farm, thought about it and guessed that the Cold Ripple Ox was brewing a powerful energy, and once it succeeded, it would be earth-shattering.
Seeing that the Cold Ripple Ox had not started yet, Chen Weiyi walked to its side, pointed to the big rock opposite, and said: "Imagine it as that Fire-Patterned Snake, what do you want to do to it most?"
"Moo!"
Hearing this, the Cold Ripple Ox glared at the big rock, its tail began to sway gently, its body tightened, and it slowly opened its mouth.
For a moment, Chen Yuan, Chen Weiyi, and all the little ones present stared at it intently.
The next moment,
The Cold Ripple Ox opened its mouth to the maximum, and snowflakes fluttered down from the air. Chen Yuan raised his hand in confusion, and the snowflakes melted in his palm: "Is it snowing?"
More and more snowflakes fell, the temperature dropped rapidly, and then a gust of wind that did not know where it came from swept in violently, blowing Chen Yuan's clothes.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the back of the Cold Ripple Ox, an ominous premonition surging in his heart.
The next instant,
Snowflakes flew, and a chilling cold breath surged in, instantly enveloping the entire yard!
At this moment, winter had arrived.
