Awaken SSS-level talents at the beginning of Beast Control - Chapter 57

c57 Explore underground caves

Jiang Feng smiled and said: “Actually, I bought several coats like this, but they may be a bit too big for you.”

“It doesn’t matter, this is just right.”

Li Xiaoyue took the coat from Jiang Feng and put it on smoothly.

Next, Jiang Feng took out a thermos pot from the space ring and poured a cup of ginger tea for Li Xiaoyue: “Let’s drink a cup of ginger tea to ward off the cold.”

Li Xiaoyue looked at the ginger tea in Jiang Feng’s hand and couldn’t help but smile: “It seems that you have really found the correct use of the space ring.”

Any beast master who owns a space ring would rarely put a thermos filled with ginger tea in the space ring, right?

However, Li Xiaoyue has known Jiang Feng for a while, and she knows that Jiang Feng is such a careful person.

Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders: “It’s a waste to leave such a large storage space unused, and the time flow in the space ring is very slow. It’s much more useful than an insulator. I’m going to prepare an insulated cup like this Several.”

Li Xiaoyue took the cup from Jiang Feng and said with a smile: “You should be lucky that these words were not heard by other beast masters who have space rings, otherwise they might have to talk to you.”

“Who knows.”

In fact, to Jiang Feng, it didn’t matter what strangers thought of him.

Putting aside his thoughts on whether he has the obligation to take care of strangers, he is a beastmaster with SSS-level talent. If he has to struggle with a small matter for a long time, how can he become a strong man overlooking the world in the future?

Next, Jiang Feng also drank a cup of ginger tea, which warmed his stomach and naturally dissipated a lot of the chill in his body.

“Jiang Feng…”

Li Xiaoyue called Jiang Feng and seemed to hesitate to speak.

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang Feng turned to look at Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue said softly: “Sorry for involving you in this matter.”

Originally, Li Xiaoyue could avoid this topic, but she felt that there were some things she had to say to Jiang Feng.

“What did I think it was?” Jiang Feng smiled: “I jumped down voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with you, senior sister.”

“But you are doing this to protect me, because I don’t have a contract beast with me now, so if you want to protect me, you will probably pay a high price.”

After hearing what Li Xiaoyue said, Jiang Feng fell silent for the time being.

That’s right, Li Xiaoyue is now a beast master without a contracted beast. Even an ordinary level fantasy beast can threaten her safety.

Jiang Feng smiled and said: “Senior, logically speaking, I really shouldn’t be so impulsive, but asking me to wait for you on the ground would be even more torturous for me, so let’s skip this topic.”

Li Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Feng’s sincere eyes, thought about it again and again, and finally just said “good” to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng didn’t care what Li Xiaoyue said, as long as Li Xiaoyue didn’t dwell on the matter, it was enough: “That’s right, we will definitely be safe.”

Soon, Zeng Zhenghao’s voice came from the intercom again: “Jiang Feng, are you sure there are no other branches in the middle when you slide down from the entrance of this cave?”

Fork in the road?

Jiang Feng didn’t understand why Zeng Zhenghao asked, so he turned to look at Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue shook her head and said that she was not sure.

“Brother Zeng, we don’t know yet whether we will encounter a fork in the road when we come down, but I think this possibility is relatively small.”

If Jiang Feng encounters a fork in the road when sliding down, then there is a high probability that he will not see Li Xiaoyue.

“I see.”

Zeng Zhenghao believed in Jiang Feng’s judgment. After all, Jiang Feng successfully found Li Xiaoyue after jumping from here.

Next, Zeng Zhenghao said to Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue: “You stay away from the entrance of the cave. I will go down to find you right now.”

Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue looked at each other.

Zeng Zhenghao also wants to come down?

Jiang Feng said: “Brother Zeng, the situation below is unknown, so you don’t need to risk coming down to help us.”

Zeng Zhenghao didn’t have much friendship with Li Xiaoyue, so it was always inappropriate for him to come down to help.

“It doesn’t matter, I have already discussed it with Yuanhang and Ah Cheng.”

After saying that, Zeng Zhenghao didn’t give Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue a chance to refuse. He threw his backpack into the hole and then jumped in himself.

“this……”

When Jiang Feng noticed that there was no reply from the intercom, he knew that Zeng Zhenghao should be on his way down.

“Senior sister, I really didn’t expect that Brother Zeng would come down to find us.”

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said: “This is not surprising, because everyone is a companion.”

“That’s true.”

Jiang Feng nodded slightly.

Along the way, Jiang Feng gained some understanding of Zeng Zhenghao’s character, and he believed that Zeng Zhenghao was a reliable friend.

After a while, a backpack landed first.

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Zhenghao also fell from the hole.

“Brother Zeng, your decision caught us off guard.”

Jiang Feng picked up Zeng Zhenghao’s backpack from the ground and handed it to him.

Judging from the weight, Zeng Zhenghao should have brought a lot of equipment.

Zeng Zhenghao took the backpack from Jiang Feng: “I’m not worried about you trying to find a way underground, so I thought of coming down to help you. After all, Xiaoyue’s contracted beasts are all on the ground. If she encounters a fantasy beast attack, she will The situation will become very dangerous.”

After all, Blue Nightmare has not yet reached the elite level. If it encounters an elite level fantasy beast, it may not be able to protect Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue from successfully escaping.

“Brother Zeng, if you are not up there, what will happen to Brother Wang and Brother Hong Cheng?”

Jiang Feng mainly wanted to know what arrangements Zeng Zhenghao made before coming down.

Zeng Zhenghao said: “Don’t worry, I made an agreement with Yuanhang and Acheng to let them take the Iron Feather Bird and the Blood Claw Bear back to the camp first. As long as we return to the ground, I will have a way to take you back.”

Jiang Feng asked Zeng Zhenghao: “Brother Zeng, I think the ground is not much safer than underground. If Brother Wang and Brother Hong Cheng wait for us for too long, will they be in danger?”

“There should be no problem. I asked them to have a good rest after they go back. When the sun rises, they should try to make some disguises around the camp so that they are not easily discovered by passing phantom beasts.”

Zeng Zhenghao certainly knew that it was very dangerous to stay in a certain area in the misty forest for too long.

However, there is thick fog outside now, and the light at night is not very good. This can be regarded as providing a safety guarantee for Wang Yuanhang, Bi Hongcheng, and Li Xiaoyue’s two contract beasts.

Jiang Feng said: “So we have to take action as soon as possible.”

Zeng Zhenghao nodded. If they could find a way back to the ground as soon as possible, that would be the best.

Li Xiaoyue said to Zeng Zhenghao: “Brother Zeng, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

Zeng Zhenghao smiled and said: “Don’t say that, in fact, helping you is equivalent to helping myself.”

Li Xiaoyue nodded, she understood what Zeng Zhenghao meant.

Jiang Feng said: “Brother Zeng, it’s not too late to do that. Let’s set off now.”

With Zeng Zhenghao’s help, Jiang Feng became more confident in leaving here.

Next, Zeng Zhenghao summoned the Heavy Fist Angry Ape to lead the team, Li Xiaoyue walked in the middle, and Jiang Feng summoned Blue Nightmare to walk at the end of the team.

No one knows where this passage leads, so Jiang Feng and others must always be cautious.

Although it may not be safe for Li Xiaoyue to walk in the middle of the team, it is at least safer than her exploring the road at the front.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Jiang Feng and others still didn’t see the exit.

There was darkness before and after, except for the fluorescent stick hanging on Jiang Feng’s waist that always gave off a soft light, illuminating the surrounding environment.

Jiang Feng said: “Brother Zeng, this passage is too long.”

Zeng Zhenghao raised his flashlight and looked around the passage, and then said to Jiang Feng, “I think not walking out of this passage is not necessarily a bad thing.”

“How to say?”

Jiang Feng wanted to hear Zeng Zhenghao’s thoughts.

Zeng Zhenghao explained: “Because along the way, not only have we not encountered a fork in the road, but we have gradually moved upward. Maybe not long after, we will be able to find the way to the ground.”

Jiang Feng nodded slightly. He thought what Zeng Zhenghao said made sense. In such a deep underground, the most fatal situation is to encounter a fork in the road, because no one knows which way to choose is the right way, and it is taboo to split up. Therefore, it will take a lot of time to find the correct way out from many forked roads.

Li Xiaoyue also expressed her thoughts: “Brother Zeng, since there is such a long passage underground, then if we continue walking forward, we may encounter phantom beasts that like to move underground.”

A naturally formed cave is a favorite habitat for some magical beasts with special habits.

“You are right. Some phantom beasts usually like to hide in the shadows and ambush travelers passing by. If we continue walking, there is no guarantee that we will not break into the territory of a certain phantom beast.”

There is a complete ecosystem above and below ground.

Even if a powerful beast master rashly breaks into an unknown area without knowing it, the final result may not be very good.

Jiang Feng said: “Even so, we still can’t go back.”

Zeng Zhenghao said: “Keep moving forward. Maybe it won’t be long before we can find a way out.”

Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue also hope that the truth is really as simple as Zeng Zhenghao said.

After a while, Jiang Feng and others finally walked out of the winding passage.

However, they did not return to the ground, but came to a cave with a larger space.

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but complained in his heart: “Where are the matryoshka dolls?”

What’s the point of going from a small cave to a big cave?

Of course, Jiang Feng was just complaining casually, because he was mentally prepared before taking action. In such a dangerous place as the misty forest, if he fell into an underground cave, how could he return to the ground so easily?

“It is indeed a natural cave.”

Zeng Zhenghao saw stalactites all over the cave.

In such a large space, perhaps even a lord-level fantasy beast cannot be easily dug out.

Zeng Zhenghao said: “If my guess is correct, there should be a passage leading to other places here.”

Because groundwater played a decisive role in the long process of stalactite formation, Zeng Zhenghao believes that this is definitely not a dead end.

“Brother Zeng, why don’t we split up and find a way out?”

Jiang Feng expressed his suggestion.

“Then you and Xiaoyue go together and be sure to pay attention to safety.”

Zeng Zhenghao has the Heavy Fist Angry Ape, while Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue only have one contracted beast, Lan Xiang, so Zeng Zhenghao cannot let them split up.

“good.”

Jiang Feng nodded.

In fact, even if Zeng Zhenghao hadn’t said anything, Jiang Feng wouldn’t have let Li Xiaoyue act alone.

While looking for a way out, looking at the stalactites around him, Jiang Feng thought to himself: “In the previous world, this kind of place would either be protected or developed into a tourist attraction.”

Although Jiang Feng traveled to a magical world where fantasy beasts roamed everywhere, because there were many powerful alien races that were always coveting Blue Star’s resources, most humans were pursuing power and neglecting spiritual life.

Jiang Feng could completely understand the thoughts of these beastmasters, even he himself wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible.

Li Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Feng who was walking next to her and carefully observed the surrounding environment, and sighed softly: “It was a miscalculation.”

“What miscalculation?”

Jiang Feng turned to look at Li Xiaoyue.

Although Li Xiaoyue didn’t speak loudly, the surroundings were so quiet that with Jiang Feng’s hearing, it was impossible not to hear what she said.

Li Xiaoyue waved her hands hurriedly and said, “It’s nothing.”

Jiang Feng said: “Senior, it’s not the first day we’ve met. If you have anything to say, just tell me.”

“I just regret not telling you what I discovered. No matter what, I am an elite beast master, and I am still your senior. As a result, I dare not leave you even one step now.”

The further he went on, the more depressed Li Xiaoyue’s expression became.

“Senior sister, you just have too much psychological burden. Although logically speaking, you should take care of me as a junior, but now is a special situation. It’s no problem for me to protect you.” Jiang Feng smiled, Turning to look at Blue Nightmare: “If you don’t believe it, you can ask Blue Nightmare. It will definitely be happy to protect you.”

Li Xiaoyue looked at Lan Nightmare: “Really? But I can’t understand what it said.”

“Simple.” Jiang Feng stepped forward and patted Lan Nightmare on the back: “Lan Nightmare, now that Iron Feather Bird and Blood Claw Storm Bear are no longer with my senior sister, do you think we should protect her?”

“If you agree, you nod, if you disagree, you shake your head.”

Lan Xiang glanced at Li Xiaoyue first, and then nodded to Jiang Feng.

“Very good, we really have a good understanding.”

Jiang Feng knew that Lan Xiang had regarded Li Xiaoyue as one of his own.

“Senior sister, Lan Nightmare doesn’t mind protecting you, so why are you still struggling?”

“It seems that I will treat you to dinner this time when I go back.”

Li Xiaoyue knew that it was absolutely impossible for a phantom beast as arrogant as Lan Nightmare to pay attention to someone it disliked.

“That’s so embarrassing.” Jiang Feng smiled and suddenly changed the topic: “What should we eat?”

Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips: “It’s up to you.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Feng snapped his fingers.

At this moment, Zeng Zhenghao stood not far away and waved his flashlight at Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue, and then he and the Heavy Fist Angry Ape walked over cautiously.

“Brother Zeng, what’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Feng was a little curious as to why Zeng Zhenghao looked nervous.
