Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, raising her sallow face, kept thanking him in a tearful voice, while disregarding the dirt and mess on the ground, she bent over to pick up the scattered medicinal herbs.

After picking up the ones at her feet, she looked towards the alley entrance.

Clearly, there were more scattered herbs there, but the little girl didn't dare to pick them up.

"Don't pick them up," Tang Wen sighed silently.

A crisp sound.

The girl froze, staring blankly at the silver that fell in front of her: "Sir? I, I'm not selling myself."

Tang Wen looked at her bean sprout-like figure: …

"You're overthinking it, go to the pharmacy and buy a few more doses."

"I, I don't dare to go again."

Tang Wen glanced in the direction the large man had disappeared and said, "Do you know where the Blackwater Gang's pharmacy is?"

"I know, but it's very expensive there."

"Go there, lead the way," Tang Wen's voice was icy cold.

The little girl shrank back in fright, not daring to say more.

The Blackwater Gang naturally had its own pharmacy.

Tang Wen entered, took out Elder Li's token, and all silver was waived.

The doctor personally wrapped up a full twelve doses of medicine and handed them to Tang Wen, then gave him the prescription the little girl had brought, and whispered, "This is an old injury."

Tang Wen nodded, old injuries were difficult to treat.

He couldn't control other people's lives and deaths.

But he would see a rescue through to the end.

He escorted the little girl home all the way.

When passing by the rice shop, the little girl cleverly used the silver Tang Wen gave her to run in and buy two bags of rice.

The shopkeeper looked at Tang Wen and sent a slave to carry it back to her home.

Before long, the three arrived at a remote, quiet street, where a woman leaned against the doorway with a worried expression.

Seeing the little girl, seeing Tang Wen and the male slave behind her.

The woman's face changed drastically, she ran over and knelt on the ground, hugging the little girl: "Sir, sir, I won't sell my daughter, I won't sell my daughter, I won't!"

Tang Wen was stunned, making his voice cold: "Shut up."

After the male slave left, he looked at the woman.

Her face was smeared with black ash, but Tang Wen could still discern that she was quite attractive.

No wonder she didn't go out to buy medicine herself.

She was even more noticeable than her daughter.

Tang Wen didn't explain, turned around, and rode away.

The little girl had explained everything clearly to the woman at this time.

The woman knew she had misunderstood, thanked him repeatedly, and quickly followed.

"Don't block the road!" Tang Wen muttered to himself: I really am not suitable to be a good person.

"Sir, please spare our lives!"

Tang Wen frowned, just about to say that he did good deeds without leaving his name.

Looking at the woman's pleading eyes.

Suddenly, he understood something: "Blackwater Inn, my surname is Tang."

After speaking, ignoring the woman and little girl's kowtowing thanks, Tang Wen left directly.

The little girl and the woman helped each other up.

"Mom! I brought back twelve doses of medicine, will Dad get better after taking it?" The little girl blinked her clear eyes, looking at the woman.

The woman's eyes welled up, hugging her daughter in her arms: "Yes, your daddy will definitely get better!"

Leaving the street just now, Tang Wen couldn't shake off the woman's expression in his mind.

Inferring from the little girl's few words and the words of the medicine-grabbing doctor.

Her father, that is, this woman's husband, was probably dying soon.

At that time, the mother and daughter who lost their support were afraid that they only had the path of selling themselves into slavery.

Having been in Ganshan City for several days, just going out once, the things he encountered had already made him feel a huge sense of tearing.

The upper-class people, such as the Huang family and Elder Li, lived the lives of people above people.

Lower-level slaves were not people.

Ordinary people, like the mother and daughter just now, were only one step away from losing their qualifications to be human.

Returning to the quiet courtyard of the Blackwater Inn.

Tang Wen began to make medicine.

Taming the "Water Monster" must be done no matter what.

If this matter succeeded.

In the Blackwater Gang, he would be able to gain a foothold and obtain a certain status.

After that, he would plan to investigate the Bai family's affairs, accumulate merit, and learn the Black Night Divine Fist within the Blackwater Gang.

The Beast Taming Art was his greatest reliance.

However, the Proficient-level Beast Taming Art was not yet safe.

It would be more certain if it could be upgraded to the Expert level.

Tang Wen ordered the servant to bring a clean stone mortar, and he crushed the medicinal materials one by one, grinding them into a fine powder.

After everything was done, it was already dark.

The Blood Crow was flying from the wilderness towards Ganshan City.

Tang Wen quietly left the city under the cover of night and met the Blood Crow hundreds of miles away from Ganshan City.

At this time, Tang Wen followed the prescription given by Crow Old and proportioned the weighed medicinal powder one by one, and then took out a small bottle of "Soul Crow's" blood marrow.

Mixing it with the medicinal powder, he kneaded three black-purple pills.

"Quick! Swallow it."

Tang Wen didn't dare to delay for a moment, the medicinal power was decreasing every moment since the pills were made.

"Gaga! Ah!"

The Blood Crow cried excitedly, just after calling out twice, a pill was stuffed into its mouth.

It swallowed it in two or three gulps.

Its aura immediately soared.

The Blood Crow, after one evolution, was a mid-level strange beast.

In nature, there was almost no possibility for a mid-level strange beast to advance to a high-level strange beast.

But with the blood marrow of a transcendent strange beast, everything was possible.

Half an hour passed, and the Blood Crow cried painfully.

Tang Wen reached out and touched it, the Blood Crow was burning hot, and the temperature could cook bird eggs alive.

He quickly took out a bamboo tube, wet a towel with ice water, and covered the Blood Crow.

Taking advantage of the situation, he fed it the second pill.

If there were other Beast Tamers here, they would definitely excitedly stop him.

A Blood Crow with an upper limit of only a high-level strange beast could eat a blood marrow pill, which was already a great fortune.

Feeding two pills was truly a waste of natural resources!

After pouring water several times in a row, the temperature on the Blood Crow's body was finally controlled.

But the evolution had not yet succeeded, Tang Wen was not stingy and fed the third pill into its mouth.

The Blood Crow's aura soared again.

However, under the repeated instillation and tossing of the terrifying medicinal power, its condition was very bad.

The temperature on its body rose again like a fire.

Tang Wen wet the remaining water with a pile of sand and dug a cool pit.

He hugged the Blood Crow into the pit and covered its body with wet sand.

There wasn't enough water.

If this still didn't work.

Then he could only... He looked down.

Time gradually passed.

Just when Tang Wen couldn't help but use "warm water" to cool it down.

Finally, the Blood Crow's body temperature was controlled.

The sand covering it became scalding hot, as if it had just been roasted by the midday sun.

After thinking about it, Tang Wen dug out the Blood Crow, took off his coat and hugged it, and slowly walked towards Ganshan City.

There was no curfew in Ganshan City.

However, entering and exiting at night would inevitably be checked more strictly.

Faced with the guard's questioning, Tang Wen simply showed Elder Li's waist card.

The guard's eyes showed surprise, he sized up Tang Wen a few times, and directly let him enter the city.

As Tang Wen walked out of the city wall doorway, he suddenly heard the guards whispering behind him:

"Elder Li of the Blackwater Gang's waist card! Looking at his age, I don't know if he is Elder Li's grandson or son?"

This city gate was not inferior to the Blackwater Gang.

They gave face to give face, but they were not polite when it came to gossiping:

"Hehe, who can say for sure?"

"Whether son or grandson, aren't they all Old Li's - seed?"

"Hahahaha"

Tang Wen was too lazy to pay attention, hugged the Blood Crow and returned to the courtyard of the inn all the way.

There was a water well in the courtyard.

He put the Blood Crow in a large wooden basin, placed it under the water outlet of the water well, and kept pumping water out to pour on the crow's body.

From night to day, he tossed and turned all night.

Finally, the Blood Crow's condition stabilized.

It had evolved.

[Beast Taming Art, Proficient → Expert (299/12000)]

The Beast Taming Art has been upgraded.

The hard work of the night, the precious medicinal materials, were finally not wasted.

Tang Wen carefully experienced it and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Expert-level Beast Taming Art also brought him an active ability.

[Beast Taming Art, Expert (299/12000); Trait: Mental Soothing]

Consuming energy, can calm down irritable, even furious strange beasts.
