Chapter 53 - Beast Controlling Lodge

In the early morning of the next day, Long Bufan mumbled the white mantou that Long Yunfei gave him as he sleepily walked out of his dorm. When he passed the empty courtyard in the dormitory, he was surprised to see that the Spirit Fruit tree that he chopped down last night had actually been grafted onto the root of a tree, and the leaves were still as tender and green as ever.

Upon closer inspection, Long Bufan discovered that there were a few thick layers of animal skin wrapped around the tree trunk, covered with dense and complex runes engraved on it. Although he could not understand what kind of spell formation it was, the beast skin faintly revealed its life force, which was obviously a Healing Type spell formation.

"I didn't expect the formation to be so magical." Long Bufan was secretly shocked, there was no sleepiness in his eyes at all, he was agitated and steeled his heart to dig dung to daub the walls, he planned to go to the breeding grounds to do his homework, and he had to go to the Elder Xu to learn array formations as soon as possible.

Although the sect's breeding grounds were used for raising livestock, they had a very high ranking name — — 'Beast Controlling Lodge'.

Long Bufan walked through the door and the view in front of him suddenly became clear. There was not a single loft here, the spacious lawn was split into tens of pieces by rows of fences.

The livestock here were different from ordinary beasts or poultry. There were beasts of various ranks, and even spirit beasts. Since magical beasts did not have much resources, only the Inner hall disciple s in the sect could enjoy them. As for the spirit beasts, no one dared to have any ideas about them, because these spirit beasts were precious treasures that the senior executives of the sect had placed here to raise. They were usually taken care of by their own direct disciples.

Long Bufan curiously looked around, and realised that there were quite a few types of beasts that were raised here.

He walked to the fence on the left and saw a group of arrogant chickens walking back and forth inside the fence. Their tails had three colored feathers and they were as big as calves.

The Tricolor chicken was a first grade beast, and its body was much larger than an ordinary chicken. Its feathers were shiny and hard, and its mouth had long and thin teeth.

Outside the fence, an old man dressed in Beast Controlling Lodge robes was waving food around. Her movements were skilled, and in a few breaths, she had finished sprinkling all the food in the pot. Surprisingly, all the wild and ferocious Tricolor chicken s looked gentle under the old man's care, and lowered their heads and pecked.

"Young senior brother, may I ask who is in charge here?" Long Bufan asked with a smile.

The hunchbacked old man raised his head, only to see that his left eye was empty, he used a single eye to look straight at Long Bufan, and said with a hoarse voice: "I am the only one in Beast Controlling Lodge, who do you think is in charge?"

"Alone?" Long Bufan had a stupefied face as he asked in surprise, "Are you saying that all the livestock here are raised by you alone?"

"Yes, I'm called Elder Mo." The old man nodded, his expression calm. The vicissitudes of time had etched lines of wrinkles on his face.

"That group of bastards, they only arranged for one person to raise such a large breeding ground, and it's even a handicapped elder. They're really going too far!" Long Bufan suddenly became angry and cursed loudly: "No, I have to go and report, I have to file a complaint!"

"What an interesting young man …" One eye sized up the youth in front of him with interest, and asked: "You are the Long Bufan that brat Wang Yi told me about, right?"

"This old man is quite bold. He actually dared to call Hall Master by name, and even called him a brat." Long Bufan was startled, he nodded his head and laughed: "Yes, the Palace Mistress saw that I was extremely quick-witted and nimble, so she intentionally sent me to the Beast Controlling Lodge to help.

"Stop bragging. This old man already knows all about your punishment."

After Old Mo finished speaking, he took out the wine gourd hanging from his waist. He raised his head and took a sip, then said meaningfully: "I hope that you can endure through this half a year, and not be like the others who have such short lives."

Long Bufan was startled, he felt that this old man had some hidden meaning, and asked curiously: "Short lifespan? "What does that mean?"

As you can see, I'm the only one in the entire Beast Controlling Lodge, because the livestock here are extraordinary. Magical beasts are cruel, and can attack people at any time.

Elder Mo pointed to his empty and frightened left eye and smiled sinisterly, "When I was young, my eye was injured by the purple winged lightning eagle of the ninth ranked magical beast. My entire eye was charred by the lightning it released."

"Damn." Long Bufan secretly swallowed saliva. His heart immediately became nervous and excited, he had thought that coming to the breeding ground was just to casually feed the animals or clean up the excrement, he didn't expect it to be so dangerous!

"But don't be afraid, as long as you learn the animal control, you will be able to make these beasts listen to you obediently. Whether you can learn it in a short time will depend on your perception." Old man Mo laughed and said: "In Beast Controlling Lodge, you must remember this. The slower you learn animal control, the faster you will die."

Long Bufan curled his lips, and said half believing and doubting: "I think all of the sect disciples that used to come here in the past were scared away by you."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself." Elder Mo once again brought out an iron bowl filled with ingredients and handed it over to Long Bufan. He pointed at the fence at the back and ordered: "Go feed that group of puppies."

Long Bufan looked carefully, and the corner of his mouth twitched. How could that iron fence possibly raise a dog? It was clearly a group of ferocious looking blazing dogs.

"Roar ~ ~ ~"

As he approached, over a hundred of the dogs immediately ran to the fence like mad dogs, their mouths were filled with drool and their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at the unfamiliar man outside the fence. One by one, they waited for the man to throw out the food and prepare to bite off his arm.

Elder Mo purposely stood far away, wanting to see how this kid, who had recently stirred up a lot of trouble, would deal with this group of ferocious magical beasts.

Because there was a Hallucination Formation set up on the outside to prevent the blazing dogs from escaping, Long Bufan had to stand next to the iron fence inside the formation to feed them. Long Bufan stood at the edge of the fence with his hands and legs folded, while holding a large iron basin and saying softly to the group of hungry raging dogs: "Come, little well-behaved dogs, I guarantee that I will feed you until you're satisfied."

Saying that, Long Bufan randomly grabbed a handful of fodder and sprinkled it inside. Just as he swung his arm, the flaming dog closest to the fence suddenly leaped up, opening its mouth wide and fiercely biting towards Long Bufan's palm!

Long Bufan who was prepared for this a long time immediately pushed off with the tip of his feet, quickly retreating to the outside of the array, escaping the danger of being bitten, his heart thumped thump thump thump thump thump.

"Kid, do you know now?" Elder Mo smiled in ridicule, and a layer of wrinkles appeared on the corners of his eyes.

Long Bufan snorted, he once again stubbornly stood by the side of the array fence. With his left hand holding the iron basin, he took out his gun with his right hand, and shot into the sky.

"Bang ~ ~ ~"

The shocking explosive sound immediately scared the blazing dog inside the fence away. Taking the chance, Long Bufan took the metal basin and poured all the ingredients into the fence, regardless of how unevenly they were sprinkled.

"What a unique weapon." Elder Mo looked at the metal weapon in Long Bufan's hand with a face full of astonishment.

"How is it? Easy to do it." Long Bufan laughed complacently.

Elder Mo shook his head, and said: "The unorthodox way is only useful for these low intelligence dogs, if it were any other magical beasts, it would be hard to say, you should go to the shack at the back to clean up the beast dung, and then tomorrow I will teach you animal control."

Long Bufan was not an ignorant person, he knew what Elder Mo said was true and did not refute at all. Thus, he stuffed two paper balls into his nose and unwillingly walked into the stinky fecal pit to clean up the colourful beast feces …
