Chapter 17

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Half a month later. 

In the farmland in the eastern suburbs of Yulan town, there were dozens of glass-like snakes! 

There were even a few Scarecrow Mirage Beasts patrolling the fields! 

“It’s really all thanks to Zhou Ming. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any harvest this year.” 

“Indeed, and the crops are growing better and better!” 

“With Zhou Ming around, we’re not afraid of other Mirage Beasts suddenly barging in!” 

The two farmers sat on the ridge of the field and sighed! 

Their eyes were filled with gratitude and respect. 

“These Scarecrows were all contracted by me!” 

“Why aren’t you praising me?” 

At this moment, Qing Ya walked over with two big bags of things in her hands. 

During this period of time, under Zhou Ming’s guidance, she had also become a Bronze-Rank Beastmaster. 

These Bronze-Rank Scarecrows in the field were contracted by Qing Ya. 

Moreover, they had contracted all kinds of low-level Mirage Beasts that could help them. 

“So, it’s Qing Ya!” 

“Are you going to deliver something to Zhou Ming?” 

The farmers asked with a silly smile. 

Of course, they knew that these were contracted by Qing Ya. 

However, they understood in their hearts. 

If it weren’t for Zhou Ming, none of this would have existed. 

“Yeah, I’m delivering something.” 

Qing Ya raised the basket in her hand and gestured. 

Hearing that, the two farmers stood up hurriedly. 

“Qing Ya, wait a minute!” 

“I have ripe apples here. Help bring Zhou Ming a few!” 

“I can give some pears here too. Help me give him some too.” 

Qing Ya saw the two farmers’ hurried actions. 

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Can’t you go by yourselves?” 

She asked the two farmers as they picked the fruits. 

“Forget about us. Zhou Ming must be busy.” 

“We won’t disturb him!” 

Ever since Zhou Ming subdued the Rat-Eating Snake, these farmers had often asked Qing Ya to bring him various things. 

Beef, mutton, and vegetables that they planted… 

They expressed their gratitude to Zhou Ming with simple things. 

A moment later, Qing Ya ran into the small courtyard, sweating profusely. 

“Big Brother Zhou Ming, I’ve contracted another little swallow!” 

As soon as they entered, Qing Ya bragged. 

“Not bad, keep up the good work!” 

Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction. 

Qing Ya had indeed improved a lot in this period of time. 

In Zhou Ming’s opinion, Qing Ya’s talent wasn’t bad either. 

It wouldn’t be long before she could become a Silver-Rank Beastmaster. 

“Big Brother Zhou Ming, where should I put these things?” 

Qing Ya pointed at the things on the ground and asked happily. 

“Put them there for now. Don’t send anything over in the future.” 

Zhou Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. 

During this period of time, the things they had given him had piled up like a mountain. 

If it weren’t for the Little Chef handling them, they would probably have gone bad already. 

“Big Brother Zhou Ming, I noticed that the temperature in your house has always been very comfortable!” 

“It’s so hot outside, it’s really magical!” 

Qing Ya looked around with a face full of surprise! 

When she just came in. 

She found waves of light wind blowing in the courtyard. 

And there was no wind at all outside! 

“This is the ability of a Mirage Beast; it can control the surrounding temperature.” 

“When you have the strength, you can also contract something like it.” 

Zhou Ming pointed at the Wind Spirit Bird on the wall and said. 

“There’s such a magical Mirage Beast?” 

“I have to work hard too. In the future, I will also form a contract with one!” Qing Ya said with a face full of envy. 

After that, she asked Zhou Ming for some knowledge about Mirage Beasts and left. 

… 

[Ding! a Mythical-Tier Fire Shrouded Phoenix has appeared in the Star Dou Forest’s Star Bathing Volcano. The degree of success is difficult. Do you want to set a route?] 

Zhou Ming, who was lying on the rocking chair, heard the news in his mind. 

He suddenly stood up! 

“A Mythical-Tier Mirage Beast?” 

“And it’s difficult?” 

Zhou Ming was overjoyed! 

One had to know that Mythical-Tier Mirage Beasts were only second to the Blazing Seraphs! 

Most importantly, the difficulty level was not as high as he had experienced before. 

Previously, the system had predicted that epic-level Mirage Beasts would be extremely difficult to obtain! 

“Xiao Ling, get ready to set off!” 

Zhou Ming summoned Xiao Ling out. 

Xiao Ling’s current body was already half a meter tall, and she was no longer the cub she used to be. 

“Use the six-winged soaring Kirin!” 

“Yiya!” 

Xiao Ling snorted coldly, and Golden Light appeared all over her body! 

“Set a route.” 

Zhou Ming spoke to the system through his consciousness. 

[Ding! The route has been successfully set. Host, please head over as soon as possible!] 

In an instant. 

Golden light wrapped around Zhou Ming’s body, flapping out six golden wings… 

Swoosh! 

The golden light disappeared into the horizon. 

…

Not long after! 

In the depths of the Star Dou Forest. 

A volcano was spewing out waves of heat! 

The heat waves shot straight into the clouds! 

It dispersed the clouds in the sky. 

Bang! 

A stream of magma shot out! 

It sprayed around the volcano. 

Waves of heat spread in all directions. 

There was no vegetation in the surroundings, and there were no other Mirage Beasts. 

After the lava fell, a figure burning with flames appeared. 

“Is this the Fire Shrouded Phoenix?” 

“As expected of a mythical Mirage Beast!” 

Zhou Ming’s eyes were filled with joy. 

The Fire Shrouded Phoenix let out a long cry. 

“Clang Clang” 

It charged into the crater of the volcano once again! 

Bang! 

At this moment, a deafening loud sound was heard! 

The entire volcano suddenly shook! 

The pile of volcanic ash on it swept over like a wave. 

In an instant! 

The sky was covered by darkness. 

Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed! 

The trees a hundred miles away instantly turned into nothingness. 

From time to time, the terrified and miserable cries of other Mirage Beasts could be heard! 

Zhou Ming, who was in the Golden Light. 

Like the Sun in the darkness, the folds and folds of his body shone brightly! 

“Clang! Clang!” 

The Fire Shrouded Phoenix rushed out of the volcano once again. 

However, this time, there were two streams of magma wrapped around its body! 

The two streams of hot magma were like a part of its body, floating in the sky along with its body. 

The dark sky was cut open by the Fire Shrouded Phoenix from the middle… 

It split into two! 

Sunlight shot through the crack in the middle. 

The world was no longer dark. 

Immediately, the Fire Shrouded Phoenix sucked the two streams of lava into its body. 

Suddenly, it let out an angry cry and charged into the volcano again! 

“Xiao Ling, continue to advance!” 

Seeing the majestic posture of the Fire Shrouded Phoenix. 

Zhou Ming was overjoyed! 

A Phoenix-type Mirage Beast! 

After it matured, its level would basically be diamond, or even higher! 

And the difficulty of the system’s prediction was extremely difficult. 

Zhou Ming roughly understood. 

This Fire Shrouded Phoenix shouldn’t have reached adulthood yet! 

Under Xiao Ling’s control, the six-winged golden light. 

Sped towards the volcano’s mouth! 

Its extremely fast speed was like a golden meteor. 

In an instant. 

Zhou Ming and Ling arrived above the volcano’s mouth. 

Gulp Gulp… 

The lava in the volcano was rolling! 

Like waves, it was beating against the inside of the volcano. 

Bang! 

Bang! 

… 

The volcano was shaking.
