Chapter 431: Transformed Cave

Dealing with fighting outnumbered was something Jiang Yun was used to, but taking on a whole family with just himself and a beast was a first in his life.

Even Jiang Yun himself felt a bit surreal, with a hint of sadness creeping into his heart.

He was no longer the naive country boy he used to be, his personality had undergone a huge change without him realizing it.

If he was still his old self, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in the conflicts between different groups, let alone taking the initiative to fight.

But now, he had ambition, he had goals, he had a clear purpose!

To achieve this goal, he needed to take the lead, turn from defense to offense, conquer, fight, and step by step turn his ambitions into reality.

Reality is always harsher than dreams, especially for a cultivator.

"It seems like I have adapted to this kind of reality, this kind of cruelty!"

With a hint of sadness, Jiang Yun and Cold Dark-winged Bat easily took over the entire Li village without much effort when they worked together.

After all, not everyone can easily possess the strength to fight beyond their level.

Seeing the panicked faces of the women and children in Li village, Jiang Yun had to force himself to be tough and instructed them to pack up everything and follow him to Xiao Village.

Jiang Yun didn’t intend to harm them, but to integrate them into Xiao Village.

Just as Xiao Yun suspected, Jiang Yun aimed to make Xiao Village the dominant force in The Land of a Hundred Families.

However, Jiang Yun’s ultimate goal in all this was not for Xiao Village, but for himself, to make this Ancient Grand Desolate World his own Tao World.

Before that, he needed to establish his power and have a strong foothold.

It could be said that Xiao Village was fortunate to encounter Jiang Yun, a monumental opportunity that could change the fate of their entire clan.

After bringing all the people from Li village back to Xiao Village, Jiang Yun handed them over to Xiao Yun, emphasizing not to harm them.

As for how Xiao Yun could make them submit, that was beyond his control.

Standing in the back mountains of Xiao Village, Jiang Yun looked at the herd of over three hundred beasts in front of him, with a pensive expression.

And Xiao Shuo, who had previously tried to tame beasts with him, stood respectfully behind him.

Jiang Yun had already shown through his actions that Xiao Shuo, who had been taming wild beasts for forty years, completely respected and submitted to him.

In his eyes, Jiang Yun seemed not human at all, but a dominating and powerful beast.

Because Jiang Yun didn’t need to train any kind of beast at all, just a single glance could make them obedient.

Apart from animal taming, Jiang Yun’s powerful strength that he displayed made the whole Xiao Village greatly admire and respect him.

Before this, no one in Xiao Village could have imagined that one day, they could effortlessly swallow their archenemy who they had been in conflict with for over a century!

Naturally, this also made Xiao Yun and others firmly believe that Jiang Yun must be a descendant of a powerful Daoist clan.

Besides, Jiang Yun hasn’t asked about the reward yet, which shows he doesn’t really care about what Xiao Village can offer.

His purpose in coming to The Barbaric Southern Land must be different.

They won’t say these thoughts out loud, so they do their best to meet all of Jiang Yun’s requests and hope he stays longer.

Right now, looking at Jiang Yun, Xiao Shuo doesn’t know that this young man, who seems capable of anything in his eyes, is actually troubled.

Jiang Yun can tame beasts, but making them into demons, even though he’s a Demon Refiner, he has no clue how to do that.

Even Bai Ze, who is said to know everything, can only suggest that he should consider studying the Demon-Refining Nine Seals, especially the last one, the Demonic Life-Death Seal.

But to understand the Demonic Life-Death Seal, he needs a lot of spiritual stones to turn stones into water, and Jiang Yun doesn’t have many spiritual stones left.

"We don’t need to think about turning them into demons for now. We should focus on improving their strength, preferably making them all become super beasts!"

"That way, when enemies come, I won’t need to fight myself. They will be able to destroy the enemies."

The reason why Mu village could become the leader of The Land of a Hundred Families is because they have over ten thousand trained animals, including super beasts.

Therefore, if Jiang Yun’s idea can really come true, it can greatly strengthen Xiao Village and his own power.

"Old man Xiao, how did you enhance the strength of these animals in the past?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s question, Xiao Shuo hurriedly replied, "I used to catch some smaller animals that were slightly weaker than them, let them hunt, and that helped improve their strength."

"Also, through diet! In The Barbaric Southern Land, there are several plants that humans cannot consume, but if animals consume them regularly, it can enhance their physical qualities over time."

Diet!

Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up, how could he forget his role as a pharmacist.

Since he could create pills to help cultivators improve their strength, naturally he could also create pills to help animals enhance their strength.

"Then, how can common beasts evolve into super beasts?"

This question made Xiao Shuo glance at Jiang Yun curiously.

How could Jiang Yun not know this common knowledge that all animal tamers should know?

But of course, he dared not ask, only assuming that perhaps taming beasts in other regions was different from The Barbaric Southern Land, hence Jiang Yun’s question.

"There are two ways. One is that after their own strength increases, there is a probability that they can comprehend a special ability on their own, thus evolving into a super beast!"

"The other way is to enter the Transformed Cave and see if they can comprehend the bestowed special ability."

"However, the Transformed Cave is too dangerous, entering it is as good as nine lives in danger, even ten deaths with no hope, so unless absolutely necessary, we are reluctant to let them enter the Transformed Cave."

Jiang Yun asked in confusion, "What is the Transformed Cave?"

Xiao Shuo couldn’t help but ask, "Master Jiang, is there no Transformed Cave where you come from?"

Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "No!"

Xiao Shuo sadly pointed to the mountain path behind and said, "The area of this mountain is extremely huge, it is said to span the entire The Barbaric Southern Land, but because it has many Transformed Caves inside, very few people dare to venture deep into it."

"The so-called Transformed Caves are actually underground caves, each cave is pitch-black and bottomless. Strangely, once humans enter these caves, they never come back out."

"Moreover, these caves periodically emit a strong suction force, covering a wide area. Anyone within this range is helpless against it and will be sucked in directly."

"However, although most beasts that enter never return, a very few of them manage to come out alive."

"But once they come out alive, they transform from common beasts into super beasts. If they were already super beasts, they can even enhance their levels further."

"Therefore, we call these caves Transformed Caves because they transform beasts into super beasts. It’s nature’s way for beasts to evolve!"

The discovery of such magical Transformed Caves made Jiang Yun’s eyes light up. Could it be that the reason there are no monsters in this realm is related to these Transformed Caves?
