Mei Rufeng called.
"I've arranged for you to study at home."
Li Cunxu: "Thank you, Teacher Feng."
Mei Rufeng: "What you said before, you better mean it."
Li Cunxu: "Don't worry, I mean it."
Mei Rufeng: "Also, try not to come to school, even better if you don't. The principal isn't too fond of you."
Li Cunxu: "Okay, okay."
Li Cunxu didn't plan on going to school anyway.
The ten fragrant cattle from Yellow Crown Ranch finally arrived, though they were a bit late.
"Get them off quickly."
The delivery guy waved his herding whip and drove the ten fragrant cattle off the truck.
Li Cunxu contemplated that perhaps he should also get a whip.
The whip, woven from the fur of high-level pet beasts, has a suppressive effect on lower-level pet beasts.
The whip can also serve as an affordable weapon in beast battles.
In formal beast battles, each Beast Master can bring one weapon into the arena.
Then, the delivery guy drove two warm sheep off the truck.
"Hey, don't, they've been delivered to the wrong address, I didn't order warm sheep."
The delivery guy said: "No mistake, these two warm sheep are a thank-you gift from the boss."
These days, Lin Jiusan was confirming whether the Dragon curse Li Cunxu mentioned was true. After confirmation, the thank-you gift and the ten fragrant cattle were delivered together.
Li Cunxu clicked his tongue and said, "Your boss's thank-you gift is too generous!"
The wool of warm sheep provides excellent insulation in the cold winter, and the sheep's milk can keep a person warm all day, so an adult warm sheep can sell for over five hundred thousand.
Two warm sheep can fetch over a million.
The cattle and sheep were driven to the pasture to graze.
In two or three days, the black iron pasture grass that Li Cunxu planted had sprouted, going green.
The rapid growth of the black iron pasture grass, the fertile soil of Muye Plain, Xiaoruan's growth aura, and Li Cunxu's Fertile Pasture, the fourfold buff boost, if the black iron pasture grass still grows slowly, that would be strange.
"Xiaoruan, have the Earth Slime gnaw at the ground and dig a pit."
To eat through to form a pit, the Earth Slime has to gnaw for quite a while, but Li Cunxu wasn't in a big hurry.
Seven days later, it rained again on the Muye Plain.
Dark clouds covered the sky, torrential rain fell as if trying to flood the entire Muye Plain.
Inside the wooden house, the lights were bright, Li Cunxu sat on a wicker chair, with a half-cup of warm sheep milk beside him that he'd already sipped a few times.
The warm sheep, perhaps due to adjusting to a new ranch, didn't produce milk in the first few days, but after adjusting, they began to produce milk.
Warm sheep milk isn't really suitable for drinking in this season. Drinking it in summer would leave one hot for several days; winter is the best time to drink it.
The freshly produced warm sheep milk was not wasted by Li Cunxu; he sold it to ingredient buyers.
Warm sheep milk can be used as an ingredient in Spiritual Food.
Li Cunxu was happy that the fragrant cattle were showing signs of producing milk.
"Time to head out."
Li Cunxu finished the remaining half-cup of warm sheep milk, put on a raincoat, picked up a shovel, and stepped into the rain.
The warmth from the warm sheep milk dispelled the cold and dampness of the rain.
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter, also clad in a raincoat, asked, "Are you going to tame the Slime?"
"No, you stay at home and watch over the fragrant cattle and warm sheep."
If the fragrant cattle and warm sheep were lost, Li Cunxu would be heartbroken.
Besides, Slime that had participated in the Slime Grand Melee and strengthened didn't need the assistance of the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter to also subdue wild Slime.
"Xiaoruan, give them commands to go out and subdue Slime. Even if the rain stops, they don't need to come back, keep expanding outwards."
Xiaoruan issued orders to the Slimes, and they scattered like an army, rushing into the depths of the prairie.
Li Cunxu, with a shovel in hand, ventured into the rainy prairie.
He was still a bit uneasy about his sister, intending to dig her out and check on her.
He'd been feeling restless these past few days, having nightmares about his sister's tragic death for several days.
Especially last night's nightmare was the most eerie; he dreamt of his sister stretching out a skeletal hand from the ground, struggling to crawl out, crawling to Li Cunxu's feet, accusing him of his misdeeds.
She said the underground was so cold and lonely.
All of this was his fault.
Digging up the burial ground left Li Cunxu uncertain and suspicious.
His sister was missing.
Continuing to dig down, he found his sister's clothes and a stuffed bear.
"The clothes are here, but she's not?"
"What's going on?"
Continuing to dig, he unearthed five pinkish meat balls.
Five meat balls, one big, four small.
Li Cunxu had a premonition that these round meat balls were his sister.
"Sister?"
Li Cunxu softly called out, and the five meat balls trembled in response.
"So, you hid your sister here, no wonder I couldn't find her."
"But, your sister is truly unique, being able to turn into a meatball."
A strange voice suddenly came from behind.
Li Cunxu turned around to see a person in a black robe, eyes shimmering with a crimson blood light, towering over him.
Li Cunxu staggered back a few steps, astonished, "It's you, the mysterious figure who nearly killed me, who took a Forbidden Spirit Nail from my sister's body."
"What are you doing here?"
The mysterious figure murmured, "So you realized my existence, no wonder you moved your sister's location. It's a pity you are too shallow and don't understand the methods of the strong."
"However, it's strange, weren't you killed by me last time? How did you come back to life? Do you have some life-saving item?"
The astonishment disappeared from Li Cunxu's face, his eyes gleamed with amusement, revealing a sinister smile.
"So it really was you."
"The strong? Not you, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The mysterious figure grew wary.
Li Cunxu raised his right hand, making a gun gesture, and aimed at the mysterious figure with a bang.
It was just a scare, nothing happened.
The gunshot sound from his mouth amused the mysterious figure.
"Haha, I actually scared you into confusion, you're really easy to frighten!"
The mysterious figure thought Li Cunxu was so shocked that his mind became unstable.
Just as the mysterious figure was captivated by Li Cunxu's humorous act, suddenly, a loud gunshot echoed across the vast plain like thunder without rain, shaking the entire world.
Half of the mysterious figure's chest was blown away, and following that, the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter descended from the sky, landing behind the mysterious figure, a flash of silvery-white blade, and the Nepalese Hunting Knife beheaded him.
With only his head remaining, the mysterious figure was still tenaciously alive, even trying to summon a pet beast for a counterattack.
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter moved swiftly, casting a hunter's cage around the head, interrupting his summoning, sealing his Beast Taming Space.
The mysterious figure looked incredulously at the appearance of the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the pasture?"
Li Cunxu was a bit bewildered. How could he still speak with only his head left?
Oh! It's a supernatural world, that makes sense.
Li Cunxu laughed, "I fooled you, didn't expect you to be so naive, so easily believing it."
The mysterious figure was stunned, "Could it be you saw through my invisibility and deliberately set up a conspiracy against me?"
Didn't I see through your invisibility?
These days, swaying back and forth in front of the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter, how could it not notice you?
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter is a machine man as well as a hunter, equipped with scent sensors, very sensitive to breath, and the mysterious figure's attempt to mask his breath was obviously not sufficient, discovered by the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter.
Since the mysterious figure was too close to Li Cunxu, the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter, upon discovery, didn't take immediate action but subtly informed Li Cunxu that there was an invisible person at the pasture.
Then, Li Cunxu had nightmares for several nights, missing his sister, realizing the invisible person's intention was to make him miss and worry about his sister through nightmares, to find her.
So he played along, setting up this ambush.
Li Cunxu took off his clothes, wrapped the five meat balls in them, then pocketed seventy-one Forbidden Spirit Nails, picked up the mud-smeared bear, and climbed out of the pit.
"Those nightmares I had were your pet beast's doing, weren't they?"
Li Cunxu moved closer, seeing the mysterious figure's face clearly, that pale face, those bewitching red eyes.
"No, I misspoke, not a pet beast, it should be a blood beast, a disciple of the Blood God Sect, greetings."
Some people believed that humans couldn't defeat the invasion of the Four Evil Gods, so they chose to surrender and survive, becoming traitors, accepting the transformation of the Four Evil Gods, embracing them.
The mysterious figure before him was a disciple of the Blood God Sect, which worships the Crimson Blood God.
A disciple of the Blood God Sect, also known as a 'Blood Demon,' possesses astonishing vitality; as long as their blood doesn't dry and their head isn't shattered, they can tenaciously stay alive.
If you were to put the mysterious figure's head back on his neck and give him enough blood, he could recover completely in a few days.
