Chapter 428: Taming Contest

The voice came from a small house deep in the back mountain.

Jiang Yun had already discovered the existence of the small house and knew that someone lived inside.

Since there were so many tame beasts, it definitely required someone to watch over them all the time, as well as dedicated people to collect food and take care of them separately.

However, he really didn’t expect the other person to treat him with such impoliteness.

This made him realize why the young man hesitated when he heard that he was coming to the mountain just now.

Obviously, it was because of this person.

This person should be the one responsible for training the wild beasts in Xiao Village.

His appearance meant taking away his job, so of course he wouldn’t be happy with him.

After understanding all this, Jiang Yun wasn’t angry. He pretended not to hear, completely ignoring the other person.

Instead of leaving the mountain, he walked straight ahead, observing the various wild beasts locked up around him as if nobody was there.

I have to say, maybe because this world is too ancient, the way they care for animals here is very simple.

Inside the Seeking-Tao Sect, there are special tools to house all kinds of fierce animals, and the environment inside is arranged to be suitable for them to live in.

Here, they only use large wooden stakes to build Beast Cages, where all the animals are kept together in separate categories.

The environment inside is very dirty, with feces and such all piled up together, giving off a strong smell.

"Can’t you hear me?"

At that moment, the door of the cottage opened, and a grizzled, burly old man stepped out and walked briskly to Jiang Yun.

His eyes held a hint of malice, glaring at Jiang Yun fiercely.

However, at the first sight of the man, Jiang Yun didn’t feel disgust but rather a hint of fondness.

The reason was simple—the man was wearing animal fur!

The fur, worn by Jiang Yun for sixteen years, was the most common clothing in Mang Mountains. Because of this, he received a lot of ridicule from many people.

Since leaving Mang Mountains, he had never seen anyone wearing fur again.

Therefore, the old man in front of him reminded him of Mang Mountains and made him feel familiar.

Due to this warm feeling, Jiang Yun politely bowed to the old man and said, "I am Jiang Yun!"

The old man had clearly prepared many things to say to deal with Jiang Yun, but he never expected Jiang Yun to come forward and bow to him.

Although the old man felt unhappy, he couldn’t get angry as Jiang Yun greeted him. He could only continue to look serious and say, "It’s not right for someone so young to learn to deceive and show off!"

"I don’t know where you got those super beasts from. Daring to pretend to be a beast tamer. Leave now, you are not welcome here!"

It seemed that Xiao Yun and his son had mentioned something about Jiang Yun to the old man, but he didn’t believe it.

As the old man spoke, the surrounding beasts began to roar at Jiang Yun, clearly being controlled by the old man to intimidate Jiang Yun.

Looking at the proud expression on the old man’s face, Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Being good at animal taming doesn’t seem to have much to do with age! How long have you been taming animals, sir?"

The old man proudly replied, "Not long, just forty years!"

"Forty years!"

Jiang Yun nodded, smiled without saying a word, and then looked at the animals around him.

As his gaze swept over them one by one, the animals immediately shivered all over and obediently closed their mouths.

This scene made a cold light burst in the old man’s eyes. How could he not see that this was also deliberately done by Jiang Yun?

The old man coldly chuckled, "Impressive, you’ve got some skills. Do you dare to compare animal-taming skills with me?"

"If you can beat me, I’ll admit you’re a master and let you command as you wish from then on."

"But if you lose, you’ll leave your super beast behind and then go!"

Jiang Yun frowned and said, "We don’t need to compete!"

"If you’re too scared to compete, then don’t waste time here talking!"

Although Jiang Yun felt somewhat fond of the old man, he also understood that if he didn’t show some skill, he would encounter unnecessary trouble in the future, even if he could establish himself here.

What’s more, at this moment, Xiao Yun and his son, along with a group of villagers, had already appeared at the entrance but deliberately did not come in, clearly wanting to take this opportunity to see his skills.

"Since the old man insists, then I will comply!"

Jiang Yun looked around at the group of beasts again and said, "But really, there’s no need for a competition."

"How about this, the old man has been taming beasts for forty years and must be an expert. Now, as long as the old man can command any of them to attack me, I will immediately leave with the super beast!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s words, the old man couldn’t help but be slightly surprised and asked, "What did you say?"

Jiang Yun didn’t explain and suddenly waved his sleeve in the air, countless Spirit energies instantly turned into sharp wind blades, sweeping towards dozens of Beast Cages here.

"Clickety click!"

Along with crisp sounds, the wooden stakes forming the Beast Cage broke into two pieces from the middle.

This means all the wild beasts have been released!

This scene not only left the old man dumbfounded, but also shocked the crowd watching at the entrance.

Xiao Yun quietly commanded, "Wangjie, take a few people and guard the surroundings at all costs, don’t let the beasts rush out of the back mountain!"

For these small villages and families, the number of trained beasts they have represents their strength.

"What have you done!"

At that moment, the old man finally came to his senses, his eyes wide with anger staring at Jiang Yun.

There are over a hundred beasts here, but not every one has been raised by him for forty years.

Many animals were recently caught, like the Flying Lion. Its wild nature hasn’t calmed down yet. Releasing it, we don’t need to worry about it hurting people, but it will definitely attack other animals.

Then all the animals will become wild and chaotic. Besides killing, he doesn’t have the ability to tame them again.

While the old man was speaking, many animals were trying to escape from the Beast Cage that couldn’t hold them.

Meanwhile, the Flying Lion was lying on the ground, its eyes showing a fierce light, coldly staring at the surrounding animals.

"You! We’ll settle the score later!"

The old man pointed at Jiang Yun and was about to drive the animals away, but Jiang Yun suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of him, saying, "Sir, you wanted to compare animal taming with me!"

"Get out of here!"

The old man, now not in the mood to compare animal taming with Jiang Yun, roared in anger and even raised his fist to strike at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun easily dodged the fist, but still stood in front of the old man, looking at him with a sly smile.

"You, good good good, bite him!"

The old man, extremely angry, let out a long roar from his mouth, and then saw a black panther closest to him pounce towards Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun casually glanced at the panther, and the black panther, in mid-air, abruptly stopped its body, landing directly on the ground.

Facing Jiang Yun, its limbs constantly moved backwards, its eyes showing intense fear.

Immediately after, Jiang Yun scanned around, and said loudly, "Come out, all of you!"

As soon as the words fell, all the animals immediately rushed out of the Beast Cage.

Even the Flying Lion, after hesitating for a moment, flapped its wings and flew up into the air.

In an instant, within this entire area, hundreds of wild animals, standing or flying, gathered around Jiang Yun and the old man.

However, not a single one made a move!
