Chapter 158: An Irresistible Temptation

Under Zhou Liming’s perverted and playful torment, the entire herd of Pig Beasts was wiped out.

Looking at the Pig Beasts struggling on the ground, unable to get up, he counted them and found there were surprisingly as many as sixty-three. This made Zhou Liming gape in astonishment; he could hardly believe that he had actually taken care of sixty-three Pig Beasts. Of course, there was a price to pay; Zhou Liming had almost turned into a mud man, and he was also half-dead from exhaustion.

He ran back to the Small Town, tore down some banners and advertisement streamers from everywhere, and then returned to the outside of the Small Town, where Zhou Liming tied these Pig Beasts up one by one.

After finishing all this, Zhou Liming clapped his hands, feeling an instant sense of satisfaction. These were sixty-three Pig Beasts, each weighing over five or six hundred kilograms. If calculated based on current prices, a jin of meat was worth about one thousand something. Damn… with just this batch of pigs, Zhou Liming discovered that he was almost becoming a rich man.

Looking at these Pig Beasts like they were treasures, stars flashed in Zhou Liming’s eyes; these were all money.

The recovery power of the Pig Beasts was astonishing. After having their strength drained by Zhou Liming, in just half an hour, they became lively and vigorous again. Perhaps the consumption of energy made them urgently need to replenish it, so they were all foraging everywhere, completely ignoring Zhou Liming’s existence. Fortunately, as Zhou Liming walked among them, except for a few troublemakers that still showed some hostility, the others basically ignored him.

He casually climbed onto one of them; its broad back could completely serve as a bed.

Zhou Liming was also exhausted to the limit. He lay on top of it, rising and falling with the Pig Beast’s walking. The stop-and-go motion felt like a cradle, which was extremely comfortable.

“I wonder if, after these Pig Beasts are tamed, only I can approach them, and others cannot? If others can approach and these Pig Beasts are just as obedient, wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?” Thinking of this problem, Zhou Liming felt a bit unable to sit still. He shouldn’t have worked himself half to death and tossed about for most of the day just to benefit someone else.

Seeming to have thought of something, Zhou Liming’s eyes lit up, and he made clicking sounds. Then he sprang up from the back of this Pig Beast, ran to the Small Town to find a set of clothes, and disguised himself. After confirming that his image had completely changed, Zhou Liming eagerly ran back into the herd of Pig Beasts. But what depressed Zhou Liming was that these Pig Beasts seemed to know it was Zhou Liming and remained completely indifferent.

However, the action of a Pig Beast sniffing Zhou Liming’s body with its nose reminded Zhou Liming that these Pig Beasts judged not only by appearance but also by scent.

He went back to the Small Town again, changed his clothes, and after concealing his scent… Zhou Liming discovered that he had poked a hornet’s nest. These Pig Beasts, which had been docile just now, went crazy. As soon as they sensed Zhou Liming’s presence, streaks of orange-yellow light smashed over again. With a rumbling sound, countless splashes of mud and dust rose up.

If Zhou Liming hadn’t been quick to react and released his aura, these Pig Beasts would probably have entered a frenzied state immediately.

After the experiment proved that others could not approach, Zhou Liming finally felt relieved. After all, he was somewhat childish by nature. He thought for a moment, then went back to the Small Town and rummaged everywhere. Finally, he found a few brushes and black ink, and then found some white cloth. He returned to the herd of Pig Beasts with a silly giggle and began to write furiously: “This pig is raised by me, this pig is herded by me. If you want to eat this meat, leave the money for buying meat.”

He wrote sixty-three copies in a row, and then tied them around the necks of the Pig Beasts, only then did Zhou Liming feel satisfied.

“Hahahaha, I wonder if others will be scared out of their wits if they see these words?” Zhou Liming felt that he had some talent for pranks. He threw the brush away and was already imagining what kind of shocked expressions others would have when they saw the herd of Pig Beasts; their jaws would probably drop.

After the prank, Zhou Liming felt a bit bored. He ran to a pond in a field, washed himself clean, and put on his clothes again. Only then did Zhou Liming remember that the purpose of his trip was a large town in the northeast direction, not to be a pig herder here.

The herd of Pig Beasts outside the Small Town, although tamed by Zhou Liming, was still full of wildness and gradually moved toward other places.

Watching the herd of Pig Beasts go away, Zhou Liming became a bit melancholic. He didn’t know where this herd of Pig Beasts would eventually move to, or if there would be a chance to see them again.

But just as Zhou Liming revealed his wings and hadn’t had time to leave yet, a roar suddenly came from the herd of Pig Beasts in the distance. The gathered herd of Pig Beasts scattered in all directions, making terrified grunting sounds, as if they had encountered something terrible, and they just bolted away.

“Damn, what thing is so bold?”

After all, the herd of Pig Beasts was his property. Seeing them fleeing in terror, it would be a lie to say Zhou Liming wasn’t annoyed. He didn’t think too deeply about it; with a leap, he spread his wings and flew high, soon appearing above the herd of Pig Beasts, looking at the scattered beasts.

But soon, Zhou Liming’s expression changed, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

A tiny “buzzing” sound came to his ears. Not far from the fields, a giant pale yellow Fierce Beast was flying slowly close to the ground.

If it were just an ordinary Flying Fierce Beast, Zhou Liming wouldn’t have had such a drastic change in expression, nor would he have revealed a look of panic. The problem was that he had seen this Fierce Beast a week ago, right above West Village. Zhou Liming had no way of forgetting its leisurely manner of treating the air like water, nor could he forget its instant acceleration ability that was like a fleeting glimpse.

Aside from all this, just being a King-level among Level Six Fierce Beasts was enough to make one’s legs go weak.

This was the most top-tier existence among Fierce Beasts so far, an insurmountable peak. In its eyes, the Pig Beast was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of humans. No wonder the Pig Beasts let out such terrified screams and fled desperately in all directions. In front of a King-level among Level Six Fierce Beasts, a Level Three Fierce Beast wasn’t even dregs.

Zhou Liming only felt his heartbeat accelerating, his blood circulating faster, smoke coming out of his throat, and his hands clenched tightly into fists.

“Heavens, why so unlucky?”

This Fierce Beast, over ten meters in length, seemed to have discovered Zhou Liming, but its swimming rhythm did not change. It was still flapping its transparent little wings that caused people pain, allowing it to fly in the air, slowly “swimming” toward Zhou Liming. Its two eyes blinked, seeming to be full of curiosity about Zhou Liming.

Zhou Liming had an impulse to turn around and run away, but after weighing the options, he finally gave up. He knew that this perverted speed was definitely not slower than his own. Seeing that this Fierce Beast was actually full of curiosity about him, Zhou Liming almost felt like fainting. Being targeted by it, could there be any good outcome?

Only now was Zhou Liming able to see this Fierce Beast clearly.

Its two horns, like the uncurved horns of a little calf, were not pale yellow like its surface layer, but the same gray-black as bull horns. Anyone who had seen a Bullhorn Fish would know that the shape of this Fierce Beast was not much different from a Bullhorn Fish, as if a Bullhorn Fish had been enlarged dozens or hundreds of times. Perhaps the difference from a Bullhorn Beast was that its eyes were a bit larger, dark and shiny, looking at anything like a curious baby.

For the time being, Zhou Liming had no way of knowing what its Form Skill was.

But undoubtedly, Zhou Liming always liked to name Fierce Beasts. Without data, this was a helpless method.

Somewhat like a freak, this terrifying Level Six King-level Fierce Beast was approaching, yet Zhou Liming still had the mind to rack his brains to find a fitting name for it.

The aura of a Level Six Fierce Beast radiated from this Fierce Beast, which Zhou Liming named Bullhorn Fish. This aura, far stronger than that of ordinary Level Six Fierce Beasts, possessed a pride belonging to a King-level, making one unable to stop trembling all over. The pressure within the aura was like an invisible sword, giving one the illusion of being instantly cut into countless fragments.

If it were an ordinary Super Warrior, they would have collapsed long ago under this aura.

But with Zhou Liming’s current ability, he could even kill a Level Six Fierce Beast. Facing this Bullhorn Fish, although he was nervous in his heart and felt a trace of fear, he was definitely not collapsed. He stared at the approaching Bullhorn Fish and released his own aura. Driven by his blood, his blood boiled, and in his heart, he actually had the illusion of stepping on the other party under his feet.

Zhou Liming licked his lips, which were a bit dry, and there was also a trace of sweat on his forehead.

“If I tame this Bullhorn Fish, what would that be like?”

As soon as this thought came out, Zhou Liming was also startled, but this thought was like a demon’s temptation, constantly expanding in his heart, and then occupied Zhou Liming’s entire head. It seemed that there was a little devil constantly seducing Zhou Liming, making him put this thought into action.

The huge temptation made Zhou Liming tremble with excitement while being afraid.

This temptation was too great; this was a King-level among Level Six Fierce Beasts, the tip of the pyramid among Fierce Beasts currently, at the top of the food chain, dominating all Fierce Beasts below the sixth level. It was an invincible existence. If it was tamed and used as a mount… Zhou Liming didn’t dare to think further. Compared to Pig Beasts, the shape of this Bullhorn Beast completely met all the conditions for a mount.

A broad back, super fast flying ability, possessing the super strong ability of a Level Six King-level Fierce Beast.

If he could ride this Bullhorn Fish, how many people’s jaws would drop, and how many people’s glasses would be shattered? It would definitely make countless people shocked and then gasp in cold air.

Zhou Liming discovered that the little demon tempting him in his heart had succeeded, because he simply could not refuse this temptation.

“Wealth is sought in danger. I’ll fight for it. At worst, if I can’t win, I’ll just run away.” Zhou Liming, who still had absolute confidence in his speed, suddenly gritted his teeth and then became extremely excited. The look he gave this Bullhorn Fish no longer held terror and panic, but was full of greed.
