All those little ears were rising when they heard about going to the mountains. Cheng Biyuan looked at his daughter and finally shook his head and would not let the three young men go with them. He told the three of them to stay at home and cultivate.
Under the disappointed gazes of the three youngsters, Cheng Xiao Xiao followed his father to the mountain behind the house.
"Xiao Xiao, what do you need from the mountain?" Ask Cheng Biyuan.
Cheng Xiao Xiao held nothing back, "Dad, I want to go find a precious plant, or a wild beast. If I can gather this into dimensions, it can raise the dimension level. As the dimensional level increased, it would have more abilities."
"Oh!" Cheng Biyuan nodded, he was not surprised by that. "You can plant herbs in dimensions, but what can you do with those beasts?"
He doesn't know, but he wants to know. Why would Cheng Xiao Xiao want to keep a group of ferocious beasts in the dimension?
"Dad, have you heard of Summoners or beastmen?" Cheng Xiao Xiao replied with a question.
The summoner? Animal riders?
These words made him think about the extremely prestigious title – Summoner!
Summoners were those who understood ferocious beasts. They could summon beasts from the forest to fight for them. Flying beasts could even let them ride and travel. There were only a handful of these Summoners in Dafeng Country. Every time one of them appeared, they would be treated as special guests by the emperor. They could stay in the palace and be feared and respected.
Every time someone appeared in a dynasty, they would inflict fear even to nearby countries. Summoners are too scary. The kind of beast they could summon could defeat even the most elite warriors. Who would dare to fight such a thing?
What Xiao Xiao said …
Cheng Biyuan's eyes widened and looked in disbelief. He was so excited that he started stuttering, "Xiao, Xiao Xiao, what do you mean, you mean, you can be a summoner?"
"Summoners?" Cheng Xiao Xiao was also no stranger to that term. This was completely synonymous with summoner or beast rider, just a different name.
"Yes, dad. With that dimension, I was able to gather the ferocious beasts inside. They will recognize me as their master. From then on, Yuteng and I could use it to fight for our sake, I guess it would make me a Summoner"
"God, that's great. It does. You, us, Summoner. A Summoner in the Cheng family" Even the usually calm Cheng Biyuan started to babble with excitement after hearing this news. Cheng Xiao Xiao could see a little tear coming out of the corner of his father's eye.
"This is amazing. Our branch could have such talent, and a respected Summoner at that. Ahhaha…"
Cheng Biyuan laughed so loudly that he did not care that Cheng Xiao Xiao was standing right next to him. Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at the tears streaming down his face and had mixed emotions. From his words, he learned that the Cheng family was not from an ordinary background.
He had read too many novels with cliche storylines where someone with a prestigious heritage like his father was kicked out of the family so he had a pretty good idea of what was happening.
Judging from his drastic reaction, he was definitely looking forward to the day where he could return and brag about his achievements!
It took a bit of time for Cheng Biyuan to regain his composure. He had a look of gentleness and determination, "Xiao Xiao, let's go. Father will take you to gather the precious spices and tame the vile beasts and let you become the most powerful beast tamer!"
"All right!" Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
The father and daughter walked further up the mountain. This was the mountain they had entered this time, not where he had gone to gather firewood with his brother before.
"Dad, is this uncharted territory?" Cheng Xiao Xiao asked as they walked over.
"You're absolutely right. This ancient forest was very deep, the ferocious beasts here were extremely strong and had many different herbs. At the same time, this was not a savage beast that everyday hunters could handle. I've only been here a few times. After all, we're just looking for food and for wild animals, we don't need to come here to fight these beasts."
"Dad, have you seen a spiritual beast?"
"Oh, so what's the strongest spiritual beast you've ever met?"
"The strongest spiritual beast? The strongest spiritual savage beast that you saw was stronger than a level 10 Martial Master!"
"Master martial arts? Dad, is that a martial arts master?"
"Those who cultivate have different levels – Martial Apprentices, Martial Scholars, Martial Masters, Martial Masters, Martial Spiritualists, Martial Kings, Martial Emperors, Martial Emperors, and Martial Kings. Martial Emperors exist only in legends. The strongest martial artist in Dafeng Country is only a martial king."
The two chatted as they walked on and Cheng Xiao Xiao learned more as they left. He did not expect that each of these categories would be further divided into ten levels, similar to those in his old novels.
From his father's words, he learned that he was only a Martial Scholar before. But Yuteng's healing power allowed him to reach martial masters. A Martial Master was already high enough in terms of ability in Dafeng Country.
After four hours of walking, Cheng Biyuan stopped. Looking at the mountains before them, silence enveloped them. But the demonic waves came at them from far away.
This was the first time that Cheng Xiao Xiao experienced the beauty of the high mountains. He looked far away and saw clouds, fog, and all the mountains joining together. The vegetation was thick, and old, ancient trees towered into the sky. Amidst the fog, one could almost see the roar of a savage beast.
"Xiao Xiao, are you afraid?" Cheng Biyuan asked with a smile.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, "No, not with you near me!"
He was somewhat seducing to his father, but other than that, his father was a martial expert and he had dimensions. There's nothing to be afraid of. Not to mention that little Yuteng was nearby, his safety was more or less assured.
"Good, let's go!" Cheng Biyuan smiled brightly. Cheng Xiao Xiao Xiao's advances were very successful.
"Good!"
Both of them walked deeper into the mountains.
Ssssss!
A strange sound rang out and Cheng Biyuan stopped in his steps. A bright, silver light came from an ancient wood like a metal arrow!
"Be careful!"
The low cries of Cheng Biyuan and Cheng Xiao Xiao ducked to one side. He saw his father extend a hand and catch the silver bolt with two fingers right before it reached his face.
"SSSsssssss …. "
A small, long, silver snake coiled around the fingers of the father. It let out a piercing sound but it could not attack with its head stuck between the fingers.
"Xiao Xiao, this is a silver jade snake. He likes to hide and attack people from trees. It looks soft but hard like steel. This was equivalent to a tier 3 Martial Apprentice. But the most deadly weapon was the poison from his mouth. They are very poisonous, even a little bit can kill someone. Do you want it in the dimension?" Cheng Biyuan gave Cheng Xiao Xiao a brief explanation of the snake.
Cheng Xiao Xiao thought he already had the Krait Bandid, wouldn't it be fine to add the Silver Jade snake? He nodded, "Dad, let's gather it into dimensions. It could be a good assistant!"
"As far as you!"
Little Yuteng flashed, waved his hand, and the silver disappeared from within Cheng Biyuan's grasp.
