Zhuang Hong casually picked up Xiaobai in his hand and said with a smile: "Animal trainer, it's an interesting profession, but I'm not an animal trainer. I just picked up this puppy on the road. It's pitiful to see that it can't eat, so I

Let him follow me. His name is Xiaobai, and he has no other advantages except that he can eat and bark twice."

Xiaobai seemed to understand Zhuang Hong's evaluation of it, and made two dissatisfied "woofs" and kicked his four short legs.

Yin Zizhong seemed to be very interested in Xiaobai: "This puppy is quite special."

After Xiaobai appeared, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and Yin Zizhong's attitude towards Zhuang Hong became less distant.

Yin Zizhong shifted his gaze and looked at Zhuang Hong's face for a while. He saw a hint of emptiness and exhaustion on Zhuang Hong's face, with an expression of sudden realization.

Then he said: "Now that we have arrived at Wangfeng Village, they are all guests of our Wangfeng Village. If you don't mind, you can follow me into the village to drink some water and rest for a while."

Zhuang Hong also wanted to get information about this world from Yin Zizhong, so he nodded and said: "It's not too late for me to be happy to have a place to rest, so I won't dislike it. As long as you don't dislike me coming here as an outsider."

"Our Wangfeng Village is very hospitable. As long as travelers come here, we will warmly entertain them. But now that everyone else has left, I am the only one left. I am afraid that I will not be able to entertain them fully. Just be more casual."

Yin Zizhong put away his sword and led Zhuang Hong towards the village. Finally he came to a small house, pushed the door in and motioned for Zhuang Hong to sit on a chair.

Zhuang Hong looked at the room. Although it was small and simple, it was extremely clean and tidy, which showed that Yin Zizhong had not completely let himself go just because he lived alone.

"This is my home. You can rest here for a while. There are better houses in the village than mine, but it is not my home after all. I can't take you there just because others are not here."

Yin Zizhong poured a glass of water for Zhuang Hong and took out a piece of dark bread to treat Zhuang Hong.

Zhuang Hong looked at the bread in his hand and felt a little unable to eat it.

So he took out the biscuits he had brought with him from his backpack and handed them to Yin Zizhong, saying: "This is my biscuit. It tastes very good. Let me try it for you."

Yin Zizhong shook his head and said: "No, I still have enough food, you can eat it yourself. As for the taste, I don't care, as long as it can fill my stomach, that is not what I am pursuing."

Zhuang Hong took advantage of the situation and asked: "What are you pursuing?"

Yin Zizhong glanced at Xiaobai, couldn't help but smile and said: "You are not an animal tamer, you won't understand even if I tell you."

He once told many people about his pursuit, but no one understood him, and gradually he became unwilling to talk about it.

But Zhuang Hong was once again filled with questions by this strange young man.

You should say, if you don’t tell me, how do you know if I understand or not?

However, Zhuang Hong didn't want to know that Yin Zizhong's pursuit was impossible. Instead, he asked: "Can you tell me about the animal tamer in detail? Is it because of the animal tamer that the others fled here?"

Yin Zizhong said in surprise: "You don't know about animal tamers? I remember you said you were a traveler!"

Zhuang Hong said without changing his expression: "I have only been a traveler in this world for two days, and I am basically blank about everything. It is normal not to know about animal trainers."

Yin Zizhong: “…It’s not normal at all.”

…

Not long after, Zhuang Hong learned the general situation of this oasis world from Yin Zizhong.

Outside the vast wilderness of the oasis world, there are many large beasts, each of which is extremely powerful. Humans have mastered a technology that can train wild beasts, which can train violent and unintelligent beasts into docile and obedient pets, thereby transforming

Use the power of the beast for yourself.

Those who master this training technique and successfully own a pet animal are called animal trainers.

The beast tamer is one of the most noble professions in the oasis world. It is precisely because of the existence of the beast tamer that human villages and towns can be protected from the invasion of large beasts.

Being an animal trainer is a career that almost everyone dreams of becoming, including the curly-haired boy Yin Zizhong.

According to Yin Zizhong, he should have learned the techniques of beast taming from the most powerful beast tamer in Wangfeng Village, and then traveled deep into the wilderness to find pet beasts to fight alongside him, and become a great and noble beast tamer.

master.

Unexpectedly, a few years ago, a terrifying ash disease began to spread in various places, spreading everywhere at an extremely fast speed like a flame.

Once you accidentally contract the ash disease, ash-like spots and debris will grow on your body and spread all over your body. It will engulf your whole body in up to half a year. When your entire body is covered with ash, you will die in pain.

This kind of ash disease not only spreads between people, but also spreads between various animals and plants, which is extremely terrifying.

Now almost no one knows where is safe.

Just two months ago, a blue-clawed giant eagle carrying ash disease came near Wangfeng Village, preyed on the cattle and sheep raised in Wangfeng Village, and spread ash disease to the cattle and sheep.

The villagers in Wangfeng Village were all in danger. After killing all the infected cattle and sheep, they fled Wangfeng Village one after another.

Yin Zizhong saw the surprised look on Zhuang Hong's face and immediately stood up and said: "Come on, I will take you to see the so-called ash disease. You will know it at a glance."

Zhuang Hong followed Yin Zizhong out of the village and climbed up the mountain.

Finally, the two climbed up to a flat grassland halfway up the mountain.

Yin Zizhong pointed to a circle of gray weeds not far away and said: "Look, that's the grass that died of ash disease. If I hadn't dug up the surrounding grass to prevent the spread of ash disease, I'm afraid this grassland would have died."

All are sick."

The infected weeds were covered with a kind of gray spots, and one or two sparks would light up from time to time between the spots. Pieces of dust continued to fall off from the spots, and finally dissipated in the air.

It is as if this grassland has experienced a fire and has just been extinguished. The term "ashes" is very appropriate.

Overall it looks ordinary, but when I think about it being a transmissible disease, it feels very weird and terrifying.

Zhuang Hong looked at the circle of ashes and weeds with a look of astonishment on his face.

He actually sensed a hint of the breath of space from these diseased weeds.

This aura was completely different from what the Void Spirit felt. It was like a 'rotten space', making Zhuang Hong not want to get close.

Zhuang Hong couldn't help but murmured: "It turns out that the strange aura I sensed in this world is this kind of thing. What is the Ash Disease... exactly?"

Just when Zhuang Hong wanted to explore something, five huge gray wolves ran out from a short distance away and were slowly approaching, attracting Zhuang Hong's attention.

These five giant wolves are as tall as horses and look majestic. However, the hair on two of them has fallen off in many places, revealing skin infected by ash. You can vaguely see sparks flickering, and ash debris is constantly coming from the skin.

Fall off and scatter.

Apparently these two giant wolves were also infected with the Ash Disease.

Judging from their blood-red eyes and hungry faces, they may have regarded Zhuang Hong and Yin Zizhong as food.

Yin Zizhong followed Zhuang Hong's gaze. When he saw the five giant wolves, his expression changed in vain, and he said in shock: "No, we are being targeted by five giant mountain wolves. Run! We just need to return to the village to hide."

, they can’t do anything to us.”

With that said, he pulled Zhuang Hong and ran down the mountain.

But Zhuang Hong just dodged Yin Zizhong's outstretched hand and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I can easily deal with these wolves."

Zhuang Hong originally wanted to let these giant wolves get closer to observe the so-called infected animals, but the rancid smell of the two giant wolves made Zhuang Hong feel disgusted in his heart, and he instinctively wanted to stay away from them.

When Yin Zizhong saw that Zhuang Hong wanted to fight the five giant wolves alone, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Although the two giant wolves were infected with the ash disease, they were not weakened by the disease, but became stronger. We are not animal trainers.

The sword in your hand cannot deal with them, and you must borrow the crossbow arrows set up in the village.

And if you fight against the giant wolf like this, you will get sick if you are not careful... Let’s go back to the village before it gets close!"

After he finished speaking and seeing Zhuang Hong being indifferent, he planned to run away first. He would not risk his life for a guy he just met.

After all, he still has a very important dream that has not been realized, and he still has a lot of things to do.

Zhuang Hong just smiled: "It's okay, don't worry, they can't get close."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and put two fingers together. At the same time, with a thought, the source power in the body was transferred, and the 'control' skill was used accordingly.

"Bata!"

The right side of the sword box hanging on the back of the waist opens automatically.

Zhuang Hong pointed his finger forward.

"call out--"

Five rays of white light shot out from the sword box in succession, changed direction in mid-air, and shot towards the five giant wolves at extremely fast speeds.

"Puff puff puff!"

Five white lights passed through the heads of the five giant wolves respectively, making a dull sound.

After the white light passed through their heads, the five giant wolves froze and immediately fell to the ground.

Then the five white lights changed direction again, circled in mid-air, and then flew back.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Five white lights shot into the sword box one after another.

"Bata!"

When all the white light disappears into the sword box, the movable box on the right side of the sword box automatically closes.

Yin Zizhong just ran out for two steps, then stopped slowly, and finally froze on the spot, his mouth opened in an O shape involuntarily, his face was full of disbelief, as if he had seen a god.

He couldn't help but pointed at the sword box on Zhuang Hong's back, his fingers kept shaking, and he opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

After Zhuang Hongfei killed the giant wolf with his sword, he patted the sword box on his waist, turned to Yin Zizhong and smiled slightly: "I told you, don't worry too much, these giant wolves are just minor characters."

At this time, Xiaobai ran towards the giant wolf corpse, but as soon as he got close and took a whiff, he immediately turned around and ran back with a "whimper", opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue, retching, and all the hair on his body was pulled down.

Yin Zizhong was suddenly so excited that he trembled all over. He ran two steps quickly and came to Zhuang Hong. He knelt down and kowtowed.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple and teach me my magic!"

After saying that, he banged his head on the grass.

Zhuang Hong: "???"
Chapter completed!
