"Thank you, Brother Qingyuan. Just like you said, as long as I keep trying over and over, there’s always a way."
Zhang Hesheng shouted excitedly. It had been two days, but he could finally use his own hands to do simple tasks and had earned the right to stay.
Over these past few days, I’ve noticed that the folks here are all pretty decent, and I’ve learned even more about the Animal Realm.
Although the Beast Lord has never shown himself, he has twelve attendant beasts, each corresponding to a zodiac sign. The reason they knew that red wolf was the Beast Lord’s messenger is because he carried the token of the Wild Boar King, one of the attendant beasts. The entire Animal Realm is governed by these twelve attendant beasts.
I couldn’t help but be surprised—there are eleven more like Soren Black, that strong guy. Right now, I’m in Bullhorn King’s territory. If I keep going through this forest and cross a big river, I’ll reach Bull City, where Bullhorn King resides.
Once I’d decided on my destination, I said goodbye to the village. They warmly gave me some food. I really didn’t want to accept it, but their hospitality was hard to refuse, so I took it. The animals here seem honest and kind, not at all like what Yin Choujian said about creatures who’ve lived for tens of thousands of years.
After entering the woods and passing through an orchard, I saw the small path the deer leader had mentioned. Zhang Hesheng was still following behind, gnawing on an apple.
"That’s not really okay, you know. You just moved in and you’re already eating whatever you want."
"What’s the big deal, Brother Qingyuan? But you should be careful. Even though the animals here are much friendlier than wild ones, there are still some with bad intentions."
I smiled and floated up, waving as I followed the path and soared into the air.
