440: Chapter 341 440: Chapter 341 In the Cultivation World, some cultivators use Storage Bags for pets, which can accommodate the massive bodies of their pets and keep them alive and well without dying.
Of course, such Storage Bags are not cheap, and not something an average cultivator can afford.
Those who can keep pets are not ordinary people either, and as for those who specifically raise insects, they have their own secret Magical Treasures for rearing them.
People did not believe that Jiang Tang lacked money and couldn’t afford a Storage Bag for pets, a kind which could be placed inside another Storage Bag.
As long as you feel that the pet won’t cause any odor changes in your other Storage Bag.
Nor will it damage the contents of your other Storage Bag—at this time, everyone only speculated that Jiang Tang had placed his two pets inside a Storage Bag, which was then placed into another Storage Bag or a Storage Magical Treasure, making them invisible to others.
Everyone has their secret weapons, and they have also seen that not only does Jiang Tang possess secret weapons, but he also has many formidable Magical Treasures.
For example, during the last encounter with the Black Mist, the golden insects that flew past them were from the Dugu siblings, and none of them knew what kind of insects these were.
They only knew that such insects were very powerful, even more so than the ones they raised.
This is one of the reasons why they admired Jiang Tang even more.
Every girl who used their family’s Magical Treasures and secret spells found them useless against Jiang Tang.
That’s because this man seemed to be able to resolve many spells and Magical Treasures of the Cultivation World.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Jiang Tang did not explain much, nor did he explain why he sent the pets to the bottom of the mountain.
His Divine Sense followed the two pets until he saw Green Ox carrying Eryao; they found a hole covered with large stones and a bit of dry grass at the summit.
Green Ox kicked away the dry grass with his foot and discovered a very deep hole with a thick Vine Whip within.
This Vine Whip seemed to extend deep into the hole, right along with the opening, which was as large as a well.
Green Ox could carry Eryao and fly directly down the large opening, but before Green Ox took any action, the still Vine Whip at the mouth of the cave, leafless and bare, suddenly came to life and elongated, sweeping toward Green Ox and Eryao.
Green Ox’s reflexes were quite strong.
Before the Vine Whip could bind them, he quickly leaped away and fought the Vine Whip with both his feet and hind legs.
His horns and tail also came into action.
The Vine Whip, as if it had gained sentience, was not afraid of Green Ox at all.
It seemed to sense a threat from the Flood Dragon on Green Ox, hesitating to provoke Eryao rashly and thought to finish off the active Green Ox first.
Such a calculated move showed that even as a plant, it felt threatened by dragons.
Jiang Tang and everyone else were on the flying arrows, merely observing the battle below without intervening.
They all wanted to see the capabilities of the bull Jiang Tang was raising; they had seen many people with various pets, but raising a bull was new to them.
This bull, which looked like livestock, was something they had seen before, as with wild bulls and Demonic Beasts.
However, their abilities were not as impressive as those of tigers or wolves, which were also Demonic Beasts.
Jiang Tang actually did not know what abilities Green Ox truly possessed, having never seen Green Ox engage in combat.
Usually, for any matter, he would look for Eryao; Green Ox, silent and uncomplaining, always played the supporting role.
He seemed very honest, but that honesty appeared to be just on the surface.
No matter how thick the Vine Whip became, turning into loops and trying to bind Green Ox’s head, legs, tail, or horns, Green Ox was not so easily bullied.
Normally repressed by Eryao because Eryao was more powerful,
Green Ox was so tolerant only because they were partners, friends who had grown up together, accompanying their master through life and death.
Together, they grew stronger through one ordeal after another, and this kind of bond wasn’t just something that only like creatures could possess.
It was one thing to be oppressed by Eryao, but this Vine Whip did not seem all that significant.
Although it had gained sentience, Green Ox knew that it was not capable of transformation yet.
It was certainly not as formidable as Divine Beasts like Eryao that could transform into a human form.
This Vine Whip could only fight and had not developed the ability to speak.
As the Vine Whip and Green Ox battled, rocks and dust were stirred up on the mountain, yet not a speck of dirt was found on Green Ox.
One of the reasons for his cleanliness was the obsession of Eryao, who shielded him and Green Ox with a barrier of light.
The barrier not only prevented the dust from reaching them but also protected Green Ox from being bound by the Vine Whip, allowing Green Ox to use his power to break the Vine Whip into segments.
However, it seemed as though the Vine Whip grew rapidly; no matter how many segments were cut off, more shoots would spring forth from the hole.
Now, more than one Vine Whip attacked Green Ox, unending, in a fight for life and death.
While the Vine Whip fought with Green Ox at the mountaintop, the Shadow that had been howling at the bottom of the hole suddenly stopped.
It raised its head, its eyes glowing with a red light, calmly watching the space above the hole, its gaze filled with anticipation and a touch of emotion on its face.
Now it no longer howled in a frenzy nor did it display a distressed, deranged expression.
The pain in its body did not cause the Shadow to cry out in terror.
The reason the Shadow cried out so madly, so terrorizingly, was not just because the seal caused pain; it was because of being sealed here for too long, loneliness and solitude had driven it to insanity.
