The name sounds somewhat familiar, but that's not important. First, solve the problem with the mare, Big Cyan Horse. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n0velfire.net
Because the second task involves the mare.
[Task Two, East Sea Emperor]
[Help the Mare with Childbirth]
After cursing the system as being insane, Zhang Ze closed the system interface and decided to seek some external assistance first.
Beast Taming Sect, Li Yueqi was fishing by the lakeside, but rather than fishing, it was more like she was daydreaming. The fish had long bitten the hook and was almost dead from swimming itself to exhaustion, now flipping white on the water's surface.
Yet Li Yueqi didn't react.
For a fish, it was kind of embarrassing.
Fishing wasn't really a long-term hobby for Li Yueqi, so she started zoning out, her thoughts drifting somewhere unknowable. She was looking at the stars overhead, pondering whether she should find a book on astrology.
While identifying constellations, a thought occurred to Li Yueqi, and she took out her small walnut to have a look.
[Zhang Ze: Do you know how to help a mare give birth? Lower half is horse, upper half is human, still kind of transparent.]
Looking at the message sent, Li Yueqi didn't reply directly as she scrolled up the screen, realizing that her conversations with Zhang Ze rarely contained any normal human language.
[Heroine, can Gang Qi from the Beast Taming Sect shoot out from all seven apertures?]
[Sister, can a person treat themselves as a sword, then run the Beast Taming Technique, and what comes out, is it sword qi or gang qi?]
[Quick question, Li wants to box but has short arms, what should she do?]
Forget it, the more she looked, the more exhausted she felt, so Li Yueqi reminisced. She had helped a deer give birth when she was a child, so helping a horse should be similar...
[Li Yueqi: Have it lie on its side, gently stroke its belly or back, just get it to relax first.]
[Zhang Ze: Wait a second, which belly and back? The human part or the horse part?]
Faced with such a philosophical question, she really didn't know...
And since Li Yueqi took a while without responding, Zhang Ze sent her a photo, but as soon as he took it, he was stunned.
Because the picture taken with the small walnut only showed a piece of sunken grass, where there was nothing else.
"Senior Brother, should I go help?"
Over at Cyan Horse Marsh, seeing the mare in distress, Chen Qin wanted to help, but just as she was about to make an appearance, someone arrived.
From the south came a bald head, as radiant as the rising sun, flying swiftly.
The young monk clasped his Buddha beads, "Great Power of the Heavenly Dragon, World..."
But before he finished, from the west came a Daxiong, with fists the size of sandbags carrying a malevolent energy aimed straight at the young monk's face, "Hey! Baldy, this is our family's business."
"Petty tricks, showing off before an expert carpenter, Great Power of the Heavenly Dragon!"
The Supreme Strong and Yang Buddhist Technique collided with the Barbarian Race forged body of the Western Barbarians, tempered by secret techniques.
It was as if they had a tacit understanding, fighting further while stepping on water, and the mare on the Lake Heart Island seemed frightened, silent, not fleeing anymore.
It was then that Big Black Monk emerged from the water, holding a large iron bowl in one hand and a porcelain bottle in the other, moving toward the mare.
But the way he held the bottle was problematic.
Clutching the neck of the bottle, with his crouched posture, it looked less like he was going to subdue a demon and more like a gangster at a barbecue stand waiting to attack with a wine bottle.
And behind the grand monk, Hong Sen was holding a green wooden whistle in his mouth, a layer of gray aura surrounding him, concealing his movement traces.
Hong Sen raised his sword, and his motion seemed to target the grand monk's butt.
[My mother said, even the strongest human body has a soft spot - West Continent's Daxiong.]
Clearly, Hong Sen, an authentic East Continent cultivator, had been corrupted by Daxiong.
But the grand monk was an old Jianghu veteran, previously a major figure in the Demon Path, though he had been converted by the young monk, reincarnated with his master several times, and turned somewhat timid and cautious, his experience remained.
The grand monk stepped back swiftly, turning like a whirlwind, bringing down the jade bottle on Hong Sen's head.
The jade bottle flowed with golden light, sending golden lotuses in its afterimages.
"Rest assured, donor, this won't hurt!"
Hong Sen's sword instantly split in two, the two halves transforming into gusts of wind aimed at the grand monk.
However, before they could make contact, two beams of sword light swept over, blocking them.
These two were also straightforward, sensing the Golden Core Stage aura, the grand monk immediately lay flat on the ground, and placed the iron bowl over his head, "Donor Chen, spare me under your sword."
Having met in Cold City before, the grand monk was not afraid of Chen Qin's hand slipping and beheading him with one slash.
Hong Sen did the same, he lay down neatly just like the big fat monk, and took out a small shield to protect his head, "I'm passing through!"
Meanwhile, Zhang Ze separated the young monk and the Daxiong.
After they exchanged palm strikes again, he appeared between them, smiled at the young monk, then turned and grabbed Daxiong's arm.
"You scoundrel! Taste my Thousand Machines... oh, Golden Core, never mind, my apologies, senior." Daxiong quickly stowed away the thunder in his other hand.
"Looks like Donor Zhang and I are fated." The young monk smiled with palms together.
"Wasn't the master supposed to be in the Northern Territory? What brings you here?" Zhang Ze curiously asked.
The young monk's smile stiffened for a moment, "It's a long story, but let's subdue the demon beast first and talk afterward."
"What demon beast? It's just a Cyan Beast. I'm working for the Beast Taming Sect and have been chasing it for days, we must follow the order of arrival."
Daxiong was sly too. Realizing Zhang Ze was from the Sword Sect and the monk from the Buddhist Sect, he waved the Beast Taming Sect's flag right away.
